My love index is at its maximum.

"As ordered!"

Tsukasa Tazaki lifted her up by the waist and carried her to the large bed covered with neat sheets.

After a passionate kiss, the three fat crows that had come to escape the heat had flown away, leaving only the oak branches swaying slightly in the wind.

"So warm." Tsukasa Tazaki wrapped his arms around her waist and nuzzled her hair with his nose.

Hoshino Hanami asked lazily, "You have a great figure, don't you?"

“Yeah,” Tsukasa Tazaki joked, “but if I don’t get back to exercising, I’ll start gaining belly fat.”

"What should we do?" Hoshino Hana's face fell. "I've been trying really hard to get up early every day, but ever since I've been with you, I've become uncontrollably lazy."

"Don't force yourself, it feels more comfortable to touch your belly if you have some fat on it."

She whispered, "You little brat, you really won't mind?"

"How dare I?"

I feel so happy.

Tsukasa Tazaki wrapped his arms around her back and hugged her tightly. He then brushed the hair from her forehead with his lips and kissed her ear again.

"It itches~"

Hoshino Hanami tilted her head and cupped his cheeks in her hands: "I really, really like it like this. Ten years ago, when I was just starting high school, I was already fantasizing about how I would have a sweet life after I found a boyfriend."

"How did Hanami-kun live ten years ago?"

She whispered in Tsukasa Tazaki's ear, "How much do you want to know?"

Tazaki Tsukasa looked at her slightly upturned nose and said, "I want to know everything."

"Haha~" Hoshino Hanami tilted her neck slightly and laughed happily: "My big sister has been a beauty since she was a child, more beautiful and charming than anyone else. I'm not exaggerating, when I first came to Tokyo, everyone, boys and girls alike, would look at me when they passed me at school, and I would hear them whispering, 'Who is that?' 'So cute!' To be honest, that kind of experience was actually quite nice."

"My sister is so beautiful she seems otherworldly." Tsukasa Tazaki grabbed her hand and held it under his nose, saying with rapture, "Luckily, she belongs to me now."

"Listen carefully, don't interrupt!"

Hoshino Hanami flicked his forehead with her fingernail and continued, "But being too beautiful isn't necessarily a good thing. Whenever I'm around, even the best atmosphere instantly turns cold. The boys become restless, and the girls look at me with hostility. Things got even worse in high school. I was surrounded by hostile girls, and since I had good grades, the teachers favored me. So, not long after high school started, this Kansai country bumpkin was ostracized by my classmates."

"What should we do then?" Tsukasa Tazaki asked anxiously.

"What else can I do? Keep a low profile." Hoshino Hanami laughed as if reminiscing about something. "After all, there are so many people at school, I can't possibly beat them all down one by one."

"and after?"

"After gradually adapting to the new environment, things got much better. I made a few good friends, and under their influence, I gradually realized that high school girls in Tokyo should dress fashionably, enjoy their youth, and date."

"So you've been single all this time?"

"Because I haven't met anyone who's good enough for my looks!"

Hoshino Hanami smiled rather narcissistically: "Many times I would sit at my desk, staring blankly at the blue sky outside the window, thinking about the day I would meet someone in the future, and whether he would take me away from this all-girls Aota Girls' High School. And this wait has lasted for ten years."

Tazaki Tsukasa gazed at her face for a long time, watching her beautiful smile and the small dimple that appeared on her right cheek. But it wasn't a dimple in the true sense; it was merely the manifestation of a heart filled with sweetness on its face.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Hoshino Hana noticed his neck tilt slightly as she scrutinized his face. "Your expression is strange right now."

"No way."

Tazaki lowered his head guiltily and wrapped his arms tightly around her waist: "I just remembered when I first met you, oh my, there was a natural beauty on the podium! I was so shocked, like a river fisherman suddenly becoming a deep-sea fisherman, witnessing a blue whale swimming for the first time."

Hoshino Hanami smiled and said, "That's a wonderful way to put it!"

The two embraced for a long time.

The room remained quiet, without a sound.

Everyone else seemed to have gone somewhere to celebrate this unremarkable summer.

"Hey, big sister."

"what's up?"

"You're asking which brand of machete is the best to buy?"

Hoshino Hanami lifted her head off Tazaki Tsukasa's chest and looked at him with a slight smile: "What are you talking about?"

Wow.

This scene is terrifying.

It's like watching "The Ring" and suddenly the power goes out, but the TV screen is still lit up and Sadako is crawling towards you on all fours.

Tsukasa Tazaki immediately chickened out.

Until he acquires self-defense skills like the Golden Bell Shield or Iron Shirt, he decides to remain chaste.

Hoshino Hanami gently stroked her chin, her narrowed eyes seeming to be deep in thought.

"Big sister, there's something I want to report to you." Tazaki Tsukasa immediately put on a silly smile, intending to get away with it.

"what's up?"

"A few students from the Kendo Club came to me and said they wanted me to participate in their training camp."

"what are you thinking?"

"I?"

After considering it for a moment, Tsukasa Tazaki said cautiously, "I was originally planning to go, but after seeing that you said you wanted to go to Izu together, I don't want to go anymore."

Hoshino Hanami was a little surprised by his answer, and her brows furrowed: "Aren't you always the type to dislike getting involved in other people's business?"

But before Tsukasa Tazaki could answer, she suddenly broke into a radiant smile: "It's great that you want to go. You can go to Izu next summer, but you might not have the chance to go to the training camp next year."

"..." Tazaki Tsukasa didn't quite understand, and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Didn't you say you didn't want me to go?"

"I'd love for you to go!"

Hoshino Hanami immediately wrapped her arms around his neck and said excitedly, "I love watching boys' passionate moments the most! When you participate in the national tournament, your big sister will definitely come to cheer you on!"

There was no gap between their bodies, and her warm breath rhythmically hit his neck.

Tazaki Tsukasa asked again, "So, I'm going?"

"Of course I'll go!"

Hoshino Hanami looked at him very seriously, "The principal told me before that he wanted me to invite you, but I didn't agree. Now that you're willing to go yourself, I can't be happier."

"Uh... why didn't you tell me about the principal's request before?"

"I don't want you to do things you don't like because of me."

"It's okay."

"If I just ask, you'll definitely go, right?"

"Yes."

Hoshino Hanami leaned closer as if to whisper a secret, giving him a light kiss on the earlobe before saying softly, "While I'm happy that you listen to everything I say, I still hope to see a more energetic side of you. I hope that as you approach sixteen, you can freely do what you love. Having everything arranged by me feels like having a custom-made boyfriend, without any surprises, right?"

"Big sister..."

Tazaki Tsukasa was speechless, just staring blankly at her, her eyes as clear and bright as ever.

"I believe you will become the most outstanding adult in Hanami's heart."

Hoshino Hanami pressed her forehead against his and smiled gently: "Healthy and strong, with the right to vote, and paying taxes to the country, and most importantly, always loving Hanami-neechan."

She used the two completely different terms, "Hana-mi-nee" (Flower-viewing Sister) and "Hana-mi-nee" (Flower-viewing Older Sister), with great flexibility and ingenuity.

He could never leave this lovely woman for the rest of his life… Tazaki Tsukasa’s heart pounded, and he couldn’t help but cup Hoshino Hanami’s face in his hands and kiss her greedily.

Hoshino Hanami's arms were still around her neck, her eyes slowly closed, and her long eyelashes trembled gently.

Their breathing became increasingly heavy.

For a long time, the lips are divided.

Hoshino Hana let out a contented sigh, a hint of satisfaction on her face. After about ten seconds, she looked at Tazaki Tsukasa, a slightly shy smile playing on her lips.

Her unusually timid demeanor resembled that of a newlywed wife awaiting her husband's favor.

This is a signal.

This is a signal to my little brother to hurry up and not waste any time!

"Big sister..."

Looking at her flushed cheeks, Tsukasa Tazaki asked breathlessly, "May I make a small request?"

A hint of shyness flashed across Hoshino Hanami's eyes: "You want me to put on stockings?"

"My older sister really knows me," Tsukasa Tazaki whispered in her ear. "And while you're at it, put on your uniform."

"You're so clever!" Hoshino Hana pushed him away impatiently, turned and walked to the wardrobe, hesitated for a moment, then turned back and asked, "What style do you want?"

Tsukasa Tazaki said excitedly, "Just dress like you normally would for work."

"Ok!"

Hoshino Hanami opened the wardrobe, pulled out a pair of high-quality matte black pantyhose, and then took off her nightgown with her back to him.

She rolled up the tops of the stockings with both hands, slipped her two sexy legs inside one after the other, straightened up, and pulled the stockings up to her waist. Then she tugged at the stocking legs with both hands to straighten them.

Her movements were calm and composed, elegant and serene.

Tazaki Tsukasa really likes these matte stockings; when you look at them up close, they have a subtle sheen. They're elegant yet sexy, perfectly complementing Tazaki's natural beauty.

It's absolutely gorgeous!

After putting on pantyhose, she changed into a regular black short skirt suit and found a pair of black pointed high heels, which she slipped onto her black-stockinged feet.

Immediately afterwards, Hoshino Hanami applied a sexy bright red lipstick in front of the vanity mirror.

Under Tsukasa Tazaki's gaze, she pursed her lips, letting the lipstick meticulously seep into every wrinkle on them. Then she smoothed out the wrinkles in her uniform and swept her disheveled long hair behind her.

Finally, Hoshino Hanami turned around gracefully.

"Da da da~"

The sound of high heels tapping on the floor grew closer.

Tsukasa Tazaki's heart was beating faster and faster.

After changing into her uniform, the older sister had a queenly smile on her face, a stark contrast to her slightly shy demeanor just moments before.
