My little sister is too cute, so I have to protect her!

After chatting with Hanako for a while, the sky started to turn dark. She then worriedly asked me,

"Aren't you going home, Yuuji? It's getting dark, you know? Aren't your sisters going to be worried about you?"

"Huh? What are you talking about? I'm crashing here tonight."

"... WHAT?!?!"

"I mean, can't I?"

"I-I-I already told you that I'm not mentally prepared, right?"

"Oh! So that's why you said you weren't mentally prepared yet when I came here..."

"S-Shut up!!!"

"So, can I crash here tonight?"

Hanako flustered a bit and then turned to answer,

"F-Fine..."

"What? I couldn't quite hear you~"

"Fine! I said it's fine! Mou!"

"Thanks, Hanak-", I was hit by a certain fact in the middle of the sentence.

"Hm? What is it, Yuuji?"

"Uh... Hanako?"

"Yes?"

"You... still only have one bed in the house, right?"

"Y-Yes..."

"..."

"..."

As both of us remained quiet, an awkward atmosphere started to form in between the two of us. The initially jolly atmosphere turned into a weird one in an instant. This.. is quite awkward...

"I-I'm going to take a bath, okay?!?!", she ran away from the atmosphere immediately.

"O-Okay."

I watched her figure disappear behind the door to her bathroom only to see her stick her head out a few moments later,

"And no peeking, okay?!?!"

"Fine, fine. I get it~"

************

The sound water hitting the floor in this particular moment is extremely tempting. Only a thin door is blocking between me and Hanako's beautiful body. Even though I said that I wouldn't peek, I couldn't help but fantasize about what is behind the door. Thus, I eventually found the current situation unbearable and stood up from the chair.

I believe that my next course of action would earn a lot of praise from real men around the world. Yes, I'm going to peek. Who could resist this temptation anyway?!?!

As I slowly opened the door to the bathroom, the sound of the water became clearer and clearer. I could faintly hear the sound of Hanako humming while she's showering. I moved my eyes toward the gap between the door and the wall slowly and stared fixedly at Hanako's alluring figure in the shower. Only to see...

"W-W-What are you doing, Yuuji?!?!"

"H-Hanako?!?! How did you know I was here!"

Instead of answering me, she pointed towards the top-right corner of the door. There, a small bell was installed.

"Tch. The bell is such a nuisance."

"Yuuji..."

"Ah! Hanako! I-I can explain this!"

"Perv!"

"I-I'm not!"

"When I'm out of here, Yuuji, I'm going to give you a lecture all night long..."

"W-Wait! Hanako!"

"Go wait in my room..."

"Yes, ma'am!"

Curse you, bell!!!
