Yotsuya Miko took a deep breath and gripped the doorknob tightly in her right hand. Then she suddenly turned and called out, "Want to take a bath together?"
Amamiya Natsuki was almost at the second floor when he heard her and jumped.
She actually wanted to take a bath together?
Don't say that in front of your dad! He's looking over here!
Amamiya Natsuki looked down and saw Miko trembling with tears in her eyes. He quickly understood what was going on and headed back downstairs.
Good grief!
When he saw the many-eyed evil spirit in the bathroom, Amamiya Natsuki couldn't help sucking in a breath. No wonder Miko had tears in her eyes. Anyone would get chills at the sight of such a terrifying evil spirit.
"You... can see me?"
The evil spirit's eyes spun wildly, all of them turning to look at Amamiya Natsuki.
Without another word, Amamiya Natsuki decisively activated his Evil Spirit Repellent Aura.
An invisible force enveloped the bathroom. The many-eyed evil spirit immediately shrieked as transparent flames rapidly engulfed its body. Then, still shrieking, it vanished.
Amamiya Natsuki reached out and patted Miko's head as she stood there with tears in her eyes.
"Let's forget about it today. We can take a bath together next time."
Taking a bath with someone's daughter in front of her dad would be awkward no matter how he thought about it!
"I'll head upstairs first." Amamiya Natsuki took out his phone and waved it in front of Miko. "Message me if anything happens."
Yotsuya Miko nodded tearfully, gripped her phone tightly, and stepped into the bathroom.
Amamiya Natsuki went upstairs to Miko's room, sat down, and read a book.
Nothing happened.
Half an hour later.
The door opened, and Yotsuya Miko walked in wearing her pajamas.
Amamiya Natsuki turned to look at her. His gaze seemed to bend under an indescribable force, and the word "ample" naturally came to mind.
He had to admit that his Childhood Sweetheart had a rather alluring figure.
If Kaguya were the standard unit of breast size, Miko would be worth at least five Kaguyas!
"Didn't you ask me to help?"
Yotsuya Miko's cheeks turned a little red. She nodded toward the floor. "You can lie down now."
My Sister's Already an Old Woman
"Take off your school uniform first. Be careful not to wrinkle it," Yotsuya Miko instructed.
Amamiya Natsuki took off his uniform. "What about my shirt?"
"Keep it on. You don't need to take it off." Yotsuya Miko looked languid. "Hurry up and lie down. I'm going to step on you. After that, I still have homework to do and dinner to prepare. What a pain."
"You have my sympathy, Lady Miko."
Amamiya Natsuki folded his uniform and set it on the chair beside him. Then he lay facedown on the floor and turned his head to look at Miko.
Her legs were so fair.
The girl's skin was especially pale after her bath.
Looking up at her, her legs seemed even straighter and longer.
Knowing she was about to step on him with those legs, Amamiya Natsuki felt... nothing at all.
Maybe because she'd stepped on him back in middle school, too?
"Should I start?" Yotsuya Miko asked softly, her right hand covering her chest.
"Go ahead." Amamiya Natsuki lay flat. "Be gentle at first."
"Gentle? Why would I be gentle!"
Yotsuya Miko couldn't help retorting, "A pervert who likes lying on the floor and getting stepped on would be happier the rougher I am, right?"
"..."
Yotsuya Miko lifted her right foot. Her rounded, delicate toes curled slightly, and her fair toes arched as she carefully placed her foot on Amamiya Natsuki's back. Her cheeks reddened as she softly asked, "How does it feel?"
"Not enough pressure," Amamiya Natsuki complained. "Even a cat stepping on someone has more strength than that."
"That was just one foot." Yotsuya Miko puffed up her cheeks. "Now I'm going to stand on you."
She quietly took a breath and cautiously climbed onto Amamiya Natsuki's back. A strange feeling suddenly welled up inside her.
(Natsuki's grown up, too. His back's so much broader than it was that summer...)
"How does it feel now?"
Pushing the strange feeling down, Yotsuya Miko asked again.
"Well..." Amamiya Natsuki was silent for two seconds, then spoke in a mournful tone. "Miko, there's something I want to ask you."
"Go ahead."
"Promise you won't hit me first."
Yotsuya Miko knitted her brows, sounding suspicious. "What are you going to ask?"
"Just promise me first."
"Fine. I promise I definitely won't hit you."
"Then I'll ask..." Amamiya Natsuki phrased it delicately. "You weigh more than a hundred pounds now, don't you?"
"..."
Yotsuya Miko's face stiffened, and she stepped down hard.
A girl's weight was a closely guarded secret! Asking about it meant he thought she was fat!
She couldn't help herself.
Even a lazy couch potato would be furious!
Crack!
"It's broken, it's broken!" Amamiya Natsuki hurriedly said. "My back's broken."
"That's fine. I'll just remove it and donate it to someone who needs one."
"Lady Miko is so magnanimous. Please forgive me."
"..."
They'd been at it for a while when the door suddenly creaked open, and an Elementary School Student peered inside.
"I heard some strange noises downstairs, so I came to check..." The Elementary School Student widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief. "Sis, are you really playing an SM game with Natsuki-bro?"
Hey, you're an Elementary School Student! How do you know so much?
"We're not playing that kind of game! You've got it wrong!" Yotsuya Miko's face quickly turned red as she hurriedly denied it.
Even a lazy couch potato would be embarrassed to get caught in the act by her little brother.
Amamiya Natsuki sat up. "Your sister's just helping me with a back massage."
"You don't have to explain. I understand." The Elementary School Student quietly shut the door, leaving them with a meaningful look. "Sis, carry on playing with Natsuki-bro. I promise I won't tell anyone."
Click.
The door closed.
Miko was about to rush over and explain, but in her haste, she suddenly lost her footing.
Amamiya Natsuki reacted quickly and caught Miko with his body.
Thump.
A dull impact sounded.
Yotsuya Miko landed right on top of him. Her silky hair fell around them, and the pleasant scent of her shampoo and body wash wafted into Amamiya Natsuki's nose.
"..."
Their eyes met.
The air suddenly fell still.
The temperature between them quietly rose.
"Click."
The door opened again.
The Elementary School Student poked his head in, expressionless. "You were making too much noise. I still have homework to do with my friend. Sis, why don't you go play slowly in Natsuki-bro's room?"
"And one more thing."
"Be safe. If you accidentally get pregnant, Mom will have a real headache."
Yotsuya Miko's face turned bright red. She quickly sat up and couldn't help shouting, "You're an Elementary School Student! How do you know so much?"
"So what if I'm an Elementary School Student?" Yotsuya Kyosuke replied calmly. "Miki, who lives by the intersection, has already dated three guys."
Yotsuya Miko: "..."
You really couldn't underestimate Elementary School Students.
Amamiya Natsuki remembered the hundred-win challenge from a few days ago. He'd thought Shinomiya Kaguya would rack up a hundred consecutive wins, but she'd run into several formidable Elementary School Student experts along the way. They'd beaten Young Lady Kaguya so badly she couldn't fight back.
"Anyway, it's not what you think." Yotsuya Miko took a deep breath and thought of an excuse. "Natsuki said his back hurt and asked me to step on it for him. That's all."
Amamiya Natsuki nodded. "Whatever your sister says happened, happened."
"Natsuki-bro, hurry up and start dating my sister," Yotsuya Kyosuke sighed, turning to look at Amamiya Natsuki. "If you wait any longer, she'll become an old woman nobody wants."
Yotsuya Miko clenched her fists, the corners of her eyes twitching.
"Kyosuke!!"
"..."
Thump.
The door closed.
The Elementary School Student pattered downstairs.
"Let's call it a day for now." Amamiya Natsuki sat up and put a hand to his back. "Come to my room tomorrow."
"I'm not going." Yotsuya Miko turned her face away. "I'll have Kyosuke help you tomorrow."
"Kyosuke's too light. I'll have to ask Lady Miko to save me again."
Amamiya Natsuki got dressed. He felt a warm current welling up at his waist and slowly spreading through his limbs. The energy from being stepped on was clearly turning into biological energy.
He clenched his right fist. His strength did seem to have increased a little.
Amamiya Natsuki was quite satisfied.
Getting stronger just by lying down really was an amazing ability!
Amamiya Natsuki went downstairs to the living room. Miko's younger brother was sitting with an Elementary School girl from nearby, doing their homework together. They seemed quite close.
"Kyosuke really is much better than you," Amamiya Natsuki muttered, turning to Miko.
Yotsuya Miko looked languidly at him and pinched his waist. "You can go home now."
"..."
Amamiya Natsuki said goodbye and left, returning home.
