Chapter 42 – Gathering with the Moriyama Family

The next day, Sunday, Urushibara-san came to my house again. We studied for the test together.

She came early that day and woke me up normally without hugging me when I was still asleep.

When I woke up and looked at the clock, it was 7.30.

Even though the scheduled time was at 9 o’clock.

Is this what she meant by no need to feel reserved…

Yesterday, I couldn’t protest that it was ‘too early’ because we had talked about being one mind and one destiny, and I began changing my clothes.

Even after I started to change, Urushibara-san did not leave the room, and while her back was turned to me, she was glancing at me with her back to me and her ears bright red.

I should make it clear whether she’s embarrassed or curious.

“You are a modern saint, Urushibara-san, but I guess you’re still just a girl of normal age. If you are so curious, I don’t mind being seen. You don’t have to be shy, okay?”

“I-I-I-I’m not curious! But it can’t be helped! I-I-I-If you want me to look at you badly, t-t-t-then I’ll look! This really can’t be helped, okay!”

Urushibara-san turned her body towards me and looked at my body while saying tsundere-like things… For some reason, she is sitting on her knees.

Urushibara-san timidly reached for my chest.

“Urushibara-san, I didn’t give you permission to touch me. And your eyes are too bloodshot. I’m scared.”

“Hiiii!”

I thought it was natural that Urushibara-san, the idol of the school and a popular person, should have had a lover or two, but she was not used to seeing the opposite s*x naked. In fact, it seemed that she was very stimulated, and she behaved very suspiciously.

“Yes, I’m done!” and I put on my loungewear.

“Ahh…” said a disappointed Urushibara-san.

I understand.

She is active in physical contact, and has a deep interest in men’s physical appearance.

She’s a closet pervert.

◇◆◇

Yesterday, Urushibara-san was told by mom that if she was going to come early in the morning, she should have breakfast together at our house.

Urushibara-san is mixed with four family members at the dining table.

And to a frighteningly uncomfortable degree.

Everyone seems to be the same, eating and chatting as a matter of course.

“Moriyama-kun, ahnn♪”

“Ahh.”

Munch, munch.

“Oh my, ufufu…”

“O-O-Onii-chan! Do you always eat like that!?”

“That’s right. When Urushibara-san makes me lunch, I usually do this.”

“Ehehe…”

“Come to think of it, until yesterday, we’ve never had lunch or dinner at the house?”

“Well, we talked about it yesterday, and we decided to stop being reserved and distant to each other. That’s why we start today, right? Ufufu.”

“I mean, isn’t that the kind of thing that lovers do together? When did you both start dating?”

“L-Lovers! Ehehe♡”

“What are you talking about, Haruko? There’s no way your brother here and Urushibara-san are lovers. Because Urushibara-san is a holy saint, even a commoner like me can become her friend without discrimination. Haruko can understand that, right? Here, Urushibara-san, ahnn…”

“What? What are you talking about, Onii-chan? Are you stupid?”

“I-Isn’t that a bit too rude to call me stupid!?”

“I called you stupid because you said something stupid!”

“No, I’m just saying the most obvious thing! And it’s Haruko who’s saying stupid things!”

“S-Stop! Stop fighting for me, both of you!”

“… That line in this situation is… subtle.”

“Yes, Himeka-san is quite the romantic, isn’t she?”

“Yes, and she’s sometimes clumsy.”

“And there are times when she’s very easy.”

“Yes, and also very naive.”

“The usual Himeka-san, who has a strong sense of justice and is a reliable older sister, and the romantic, clumsy, naive and easy Himeka-san… Gap moe?”

“I see…”

“Y-You two have a lot to say, huh!?”

“Oh my, the three of you are still as close as ever, ufufu.”

Urushibara-san, who had said herself that there was no need to be reserved or distant, was depressed when she was treated in this way.

“Even close friends need to be polite!” she started saying.

“How is it also polite to show up more than an hour before the appointed time, as you do every day!” I said back.

“W-Well, that’s okay! I’m here early to see Moriyama-kun’s sleeping face!” She self-destructed.
