Relay Race

Since the other party has sincerely apologized, this matter can be considered closed.

"Speaking of which, Yukino, you and Miku aren't very familiar with each other, are you?" Fushimi Makoto started a conversation about something else.

Yukino was taken aback, thinking suspiciously: Is he going to introduce me to another friend?

However, the two girls he introduced me to, Yotsuba and Itsuki, were indeed very nice, and their personalities were compatible with mine.

Yukino, unusually, showed a hint of anticipation. "I haven't really talked to Miku much."

Miku Nakano, however, had a different perspective. "Ichika often mentions you to us."

"I guess it wasn't something nice to say?"

"No, actually Ichika really admires you."

Upon receiving this answer, Yukino couldn't help but feel surprised. "She admires me?"

Fushimi Makoto then interjected, "Do you think that any high school girl can easily make a short film? The fact that you managed to complete this already puts you ahead of 99% of your peers."

Miku Nakano tapped her fair chin; she thought so too.

At least in this matter, she also had feelings of admiration for Yukino.

"But you definitely don't include 99% of your peers, right?" Yukino was more concerned about this.

"You're still thinking of surpassing me?" Fushimi Makoto chuckled.

Yukino did not answer.

That's always been her thought.

If I surpass Fushimi Makoto, I can achieve true evolution!

Fushimi Makoto's opinion on Yukino's little scheme was simple: it doesn't matter if you surpass me or not, I can surpass you anyway...

Miku Nakano silently observed Yukino, thinking to herself that Ichika was right; she was indeed exceptionally talented.

Surpassing Fushimi Makoto?

Miku Nakano absolutely dared not even think about such a thing.

Since things have come to this, let's eat first.

Miku Nakano took out a box of sweets from the bag and shared them with the two of them; these were specially made by Nino.

Under Fushimi Makoto's guidance, the two beautiful girls, who usually didn't talk much, finally started chatting.

During their conversation, Yukino discovered that Miku's personality seemed quite nice as well.

She couldn't help but think of Ichika, who was always going against her, and Nino, who had an easily impatient personality.

"Looking at it this way, only the two Nakano Family members don't get along with me."

As Yukino thought about it, she recalled the scene of everyone swimming together during the day.

The image of the five sisters in their swimsuits appeared vividly in her mind.

Whether it's her breasts, her ample bosom, or her long, white legs, they are all the most beautiful sights.

Yukino looked away, thinking to herself that God was really generous to the girls of the Nakano Family.

Perhaps this is the reason why Fushimi Makoto has such a close relationship with the five of them?

Yukino couldn't help but sigh at the thought.

If he weren't a womanizer, he would probably be the perfect boy in my mind.

So, I'm still not going to date him?

Recalling her resolute statement back then, Yukino felt inexplicably embarrassed.

At 8 PM, Fushimi Makoto and his two companions returned the way they came.

Ichika and the others haven't returned yet, nor has Mrs. Yukinoshita.

Fushimi Makoto decided to take a shower first.

He didn't swim at all during the day; he was too busy admiring the scenery from the shore.

He had just entered the bathroom with his clothes when he heard footsteps outside.

He turned around, Miku Nakano's beautiful figure came into view.

What's going on here?

Do you want to take a shower?

"Right."

"I want to take a shower too."

"..."

Fushimi Makoto almost thought he had misheard.

Although she has sought my help to explain things to me more than once, we have never actually taken a bath together.

As for the two of them being in the bathroom together last time, that was purely an accident.

At that time Miku Nakano was in the bathtub, and he was hanging on the wall...

"Are you worried about Yukinoshita?" Miku Nakano suddenly lowered her voice. "I checked when I came down just now, Yukinoshita was reading a book inside."

Okay, okay, so you've even learned to scout out enemy positions in advance, huh?

Fushimi Makoto simply went over and closed the door, walking inside as he asked, "Why did you suddenly think of this?"

He asked casually, but Miku Nakano blushed and whispered, "You and Ichika must have taken a bath together."

Fushimi Makoto paused, about to speak, when Miku Nakano dropped a bombshell. "That night I wanted to ask you for advice, but they beat me to it..."

She didn't finish her sentence, but her gradually shimmering, dreamy eyes and flushed, delicate face clearly revealed her thoughts.

I want the same treatment as Ichika and Nino!

Fushimi Makoto noticed her unease and immediately said gently, "Then how about you help me scrub my back?"

To everyone's surprise, Miku Nakano said something astonishing, "I can wipe the front for you too."

Chapter 286 Relay Race

A large amount of steam rose from the bright, warm bathroom, then condensed into water droplets on the white walls, which dripped down and coincidentally landed on the shadows of the two people inside.

At this moment Miku Nakano was kneeling behind Fushimi Makoto. Her clothes had also been removed, and she was only wrapped in a thin bath towel. Her face was flushed with girlish shyness, and her eyes were filled with affection.

Just as Fushimi Makoto said, she was really taking her time scrubbing Fushimi Makoto's back.

So her statement that "I can wipe the front" was probably not a lie.

Keep in mind that she was only wearing a bath towel, and under these circumstances, if she made even the slightest movement, the towel could easily slip off.

Of course, she had already been soaked by the showerhead, so even though the towel was still on her, it was practically useless for covering her up.

The glistening water droplets that had condensed were now sliding down her hair and bath towel, their arcs breathtakingly beautiful.

Neither of them spoke; the only sounds in the quiet bathroom were the running water and their breathing.

Miku Nakano's heart was pounding, and her mind was a bit of a mess.

Fushimi Makoto, on the other hand, was deep in thought.

He wasn't surprised at all that Ichika and Nino's affair would be exposed.

The five of them lived together every day, and Ichika and Nino didn't bother to hide it when they got excited.

Moreover, Ichika has never hidden her feelings of love.

Given that, it's quite normal that things have come to light.

Miku Nakano could probably guess what Fushimi Makoto was thinking.

After the initial shock and distress, all that remained in her mind was. "Why did Ichika and the others keep this from me? Aren't we sisters?"

With these thoughts in mind, and given that she was already used to seeking Fushimi Makoto for scientific explanations, her sudden initiative today could be explained.

The only thing that puzzled Miku Fushimi Makoto was whether Miku had mentioned that incident to Ichika or the Ichika.

If not, does that mean she plans to never mention it again and only secretly steal from others?

"Is this force okay?" Miku Nakano's shy voice interrupted his thoughts.

"It fits perfectly." Fushimi Makoto composed himself.

Miku Nakano felt inexplicably happy. Thinking that the back was almost wiped clean, she reached out and grabbed the towel, placing it on Fushimi Makoto's chest.

She didn't pay special attention to physical contact. Although she was very shy, she was completely clueless in this area. Apart from kissing, the girl didn't understand anything else.

So she didn't know that her efforts to scrub Fushimi Makoto's back were not only bringing him comfort and pleasure, but also making him feel somewhat tormented.

Just like what Miku Nakano said during the day, "It's very exciting."

Fushimi Makoto is feeling that way right now.

Unfortunately, it was still early, Yukino was still upstairs reading. He couldn't be sure when Ichika and the others would suddenly return, nor could he be sure when the other two aunts would return.

What if—he meant—he lost control of his emotions in the bathroom, and the others happened to come back...

So when he pushes open the door and goes out, he will probably see what people often joke about online as a "hellish drawing".

"Makoto."

"Um?"

"Why don't you turn around? It's not very convenient for me to be behind you."

"Good."

When Fushimi Makoto turned around, he and Miku Nakano were now face to face.

The girl's delicate face was full of shyness, and her eyes, which were usually as calm as a lake, now sparkled with a clear and visible shy charm. This captivating look seemed to be tinged with a hazy and beautiful glow by the steam in the bathroom, making everything so enchanting.

"How about you close your eyes?" she asked, blushing.

Fushimi Makoto shook his head.

Miku Nakano lowered her head shyly and remained silent.

In this ambiguous atmosphere, her fair and delicate hands seemed to possess an indescribable magic. Although she was Fushimi Makoto, the fact that she was only wrapped in a thin bath towel, covering only a small part of her skin, made her appear even more alluring than when she was asking him for advice.

Especially when she tries hard to suppress her shyness and gets down to business, she tends to overlook some details.

For example, her body would unconsciously lean forward, and her round, fair thighs would touch Fushimi Makoto.

Miku Nakano's breathing gradually became rapid, and her eyes began to wander uncontrollably.

"Are you thinking that this feels like you're asking me to explain things to you?" Fushimi Makoto sensed her restless heart.

"Um."

Miku Nakano blushed, hesitated for a moment, and then admitted it.

"Actually, I'm pretty much the same," Fushimi Makoto sighed.

Miku Nakano was taken aback. "Why are you sighing?"

Do I even need to say that?

"What's the meaning?"

Miku Nakano didn't react at first.

But she quickly found the reason.

Her heart pounded, and her wrists trembled so badly she almost dropped the towel.

She suddenly remembered something.

Ichika and Nino must have done similar things before. So how did they handle this situation?

Charge bravely!

Or should I be as embarrassed as I am, blushing and at a loss for what to do?

Wrong!

This shouldn't be the first time Ichika and Nino have raided Makoto's house at night, so they definitely won't be caught off guard!
