My transformation into a beautiful girl started with a hemorrhage.

But then I thought:

'but,

But what if Kouta actually believes what I say and then stops saying it?

It's not like I'm really immune to being fooled.

"Am I supposed to tell Kouta later that I lied to you all along? I'd be so embarrassed then..."

At last,

I won't tell you!

Hui angrily uttered this harsh remark and left.

Seeing this, Kouta smiled helplessly and chased after them.

The two returned home together.

After parking his bicycle, Kouta immediately went to the yard of his neighbor Hui's house next door and rang the doorbell.

After a long while, Hui Cai came out of the house hesitantly, looked at Geng Tai outside the courtyard, and asked with feigned composure, "What are you doing here?"

Kouta muttered to himself: I wonder who asked me to take the day off from work this morning!

Of course, Kouta knew he couldn't say that, because if he dared to, he would be doomed today, tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow.

Even if he couldn't explain the reason, it didn't stump Kouta, because he had already anticipated Hui's reaction on the way, and even predicted what Hui might say with great accuracy.

At this moment, Keita's prediction of Hui's difficult behavior came true.

Kouta looked serious, without a trace of frivolity or impatience. He simply gazed at Kei with deep affection, as if he were saying something completely ordinary: "We promised never to be apart, so naturally, not even for a year, a month, a day, an hour, a minute, or a second... it's not allowed!"

Upon hearing this, Huiming knew that Gengtai was "lying" to her, but her heart was filled with sweetness, as if she were soaking in a honey pot.

"Glib and frivolous."

Hui kept her mouth shut, but her body obediently opened the door for Gengtai.

As soon as the door opened, Kōta couldn't help but pull Kei into his arms.

"You're only good with your smooth talk. As for being indecent, that's what Hui said, so I might as well be indecent!"

"Hey, what are you doing?"

"What do you think I should do?"

"No~~ No, not here~~"

Hui's voice grew softer and softer until it was no longer audible.

······

After a series of passionate encounters...

It was already 8 p.m. when Kōta left Kei's house.

Kouta, no longer the spirited man he once was, seemed to have run a 10,000-meter race, muttering to himself, "I feel like Keita was a bit too enthusiastic today..."

As soon as I entered the house.

Then came the warm greeting from her younger sister Asuka: "Okaeri, Onii-chan!"

"Hmm, is it a tower?"

"Onii-chan, why are you up earlier than usual today?"

"Ah~ well, the store is closing a little early today."

Asuka initially had no suspicions, but seeing her brother's somewhat unnatural demeanor, she suddenly became suspicious.

And coincidentally, because the distance was very close.

Asuka caught a faint, sweet, delicate, and refreshing scent emanating from Kouta, reminiscent of dried flowers and orchids. She couldn't quite describe the smell, but it was incredibly pleasant and soothing.

'Isn't this the scent of Sister Hui?'

Asuka understood perfectly, but outwardly looked at her brother with a puzzled expression. She then gave him a bright, meaningful smile and asked, "Onii-chan, what's that wonderful scent you smell like?"

Asuka is getting closer and closer.

Kouta was sweating profusely and mumbled, "Ah... really? Maybe it's the smell of the desserts in the shop!"

"Liar, this is clearly the scent of Sister Hui!" Asuka scrutinized Kouta relentlessly.

"It's just an illusion, it's only your illusion."

Kouta's heart was pounding, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Oh~~"

Asuka deliberately answered slowly.

“Right?” Kouta quickly added.

However, suddenly, Asuka smiled slyly and said, "Then I'll go ask Sister Hui!"

After saying that, he actually walked towards the door.

"and many more!"

Kouta quickly called out to Asuka from behind.

"What's wrong, Onii-chan? Do you want to come along too?"

Kouta looked at Asuka's innocent expression after she turned away and felt a headache coming on. Naturally, he wouldn't let Asuka bother Kei: "Your sister Kei is tired today and doesn't have time, so don't bother her!"

"Tired?! Why are you so tired?" Asuka still had an innocent expression.

"There are so many things to do at the start of the school year, so much walking, so much homework, I'm just exhausted."

"Onii-chan, do I look like an idiot to you?" Asuka suddenly asked.

“It doesn’t seem like it.” Kouta paused for a moment before answering.

"Then tell me, did you and Hui-nee do it?" Asuka asked, her face turning red.

She'd had a vague feeling all along that her older brother was hiding something from her...

However, given that she was already at the age of puberty, she quickly guessed that her older brother was probably hiding something from her about doing *that* kind of thing.

Although she matured early and was very outgoing in front of Kouta, she was still just a middle school girl and retained the unique reserve of a girl, remaining shy about that kind of thing.

The reason she keeps pursuing Kouta is more because she's interested in that kind of thing and wants to ask him more details.

"Onii-chan, I heard making that is very..."

Boom!

"Ouch! Onii-chan, why did you hit me?" Asuka complained, rubbing her head.

"You're only in junior high school, don't think about these messy things every day, focus on your studies," Kōta said, sounding like a teacher.

"Then tell me what it feels like to do that kind of thing?" Asuka pressed on.

Kouta hesitated for a moment. He could understand that Asuka was at puberty and it was normal for her to be curious about that aspect of life.

However, it was really difficult for him, as an older brother, to explain such things to his younger sister, so he could only make an excuse, saying, "You'll know these things when you grow up."

After saying that, Kouta immediately slipped away and went back to his room alone.

Then, Asuka's voice came intermittently from behind: "Onii-chan, don't go..."

This cannot be blamed on Asuka, because Kouta comes from a single-parent family. Generally speaking, it should be Asuka's mother who tells her about this at the appropriate time, but Kouta's family lacks the role of "mother".

······

Back in his room, Kouta breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking down at his clothes, he recalled Asuka's "difficult" behavior earlier.

Does it really have a smell?

Kouta thought to himself, raised his arm and smelled it. Sure enough, there was a faint, refreshing scent.

"This... must be the scent of Hui's shower gel."

"By the way, when Hui was scrubbing her back, it seemed like she was using her own shower gel."

[Answer: Every day, every day, time, time, etc.]

suddenly,

A cell phone rang from my pocket.

Kouta wondered, 'Who would call me? Could it be Hui?'

When he picked up the phone, he saw an unexpected person – Chie Maeda.

Chie Maeda is a senior colleague and a senior student at the shop where Kouta works.

However, the other party was not a second-year student at Misaki High School, but a second-year student at another regular high school.

She was optimistic, had a friendly and approachable manner, was gentle and kind, and most importantly, was a great beauty. Naturally, she became the object of secret admiration for countless employees in the store.

When Kouta first came to work at the store, he also received some help from Maeda Chie. Their relationship was always maintained at the distance between acquaintances and friends. They were polite to each other, neither distant nor close.

Therefore, Kōta was quite surprised.

Press the answer button.

Kouta politely asked, "Hello, is this Maeda-senpai?"

"Zzz—, I'm so happy! I never expected that Fujiki-kun, who is always so aloof, would recognize me!" A sweet female voice came from the phone.

Kouta: "Senior, you misunderstand. It's just that I have your number saved in my phone, so it shows up on caller ID."

"Waaah~~, Fujiki-kun is still so honest, but he's not cute at all! You'll never find a girlfriend like this!"

"Girlfriend... this..."

As Kouta spoke, he had a strange feeling. Looking at himself in the mirror, he realized that just a dozen minutes ago, his girlfriend had given him a back rub.

"Senior, what brings you here?" Kouta asked.
