â⌠Fuwaa. It feels like today has been quite eventful.â
âYes, indeed⌠âŞâ
Kanade will never forget the miracle of this day.
She was already happy enough that she could go out with Arisa and Aina, but she never expected them to propose a sleepover.
âKanade-chan, are you free tomorrow too?â
âYes.â
âThen, why donât you come over and stay at our place? Hayato-kun is here too.â
âWha!?â
Upon hearing those words, Hayato instantly popped into Kanadeâs mind.
She felt sorry for Arisa and Aina, but at that moment, Kanadeâs mind was completely dyed pink, and she could only think of Hayato.
There was no denying it anymore.
Not only her feelings but her whole body longed for Hayato. A mixture of innocent love and a dark, twisted desire had transformed her into a woman. The pure-hearted girl was no longer there; in her place, a female seeking her beloved male had emerged.
â⌠Onii-san.â
âWhat is it?â
Sharing the same bed, Kanade couldnât help but feel guilty toward Arisa, Aina, and Sakuna. However, she was incredibly happy to be spending the night with Hayato, lying side by side in the same futon.
ââŚâ
Yet⌠she struggled to find the right words to say.
She was happy and excited, but when faced with this actual situation, she stumbled over what to say. Moreover⌠the most deeply ingrained memory of the day refused to leave Kanadeâs mind.
â⌠What happened?â
âWell⌠It was delicious, Onii-sanâŞâ
âDelicious?â
Kanade chuckled at Hayatoâs cluelessness.
The recent event was none other than Kanade, as they had used a blindfold to surprise Hayato.
âOops, it slipped out~!â
That was the signal for her to enter the room.
Kanade quietly entered the room and sat down beside Aina, with her watching. After that, Kanade didnât have many memories of what happened. According to Aina, she had been so engrossed that she didnât notice anything happening around her.
Was she such a depraved woman, or perhaps a pervertâŚ? She pondered about it, but she didnât feel ashamed. Thatâs because she not only felt it in her heart but also felt joy in the fact that her body was unconsciously captivated by Hayato.
In the true form of service, and when Kanade accepted it, she experienced the greatest happiness she had ever felt in her life.
â⌠HaaâŞâ
Hayato might have felt a little uncomfortable, but he never found out about Kanadeâs true feelings until the end. Well, in the end, lack of experience can be compensated for with feelings alone. Thatâs all there was to itâthe fact that Kanadeâs feelings for Hayato were so strong.
ââŚâ
Hayato felt something and swallowed his saliva.
Even if he didnât know the exact cause, Hayato couldnât help but sense the alluring atmosphere that Kanade unconsciously emitted. Despite her being his cute cousin, Kanadeâs body pressed against him went beyond the boundaries of a high school student.
Her refined features, pleasant fragrance, and ample softness gradually eroded Hayatoâs self-control. However, he refrained from making any advances, perhaps because he had spent a long time with the exceptional women of the Shinjo family, who excelled as females.
â⌠Ah~ sorry. Iâm going to get something to drink. Want anything?â
âOh, sure.â
Hayato got up and left the room.
By the way, the room they were currently in was Ainaâs room, and Aina herself was sleeping in Arisaâs room. Naturally, Hayatoâs scent was strong, enveloped by the fragrance emitted by Aina.
And so as Kanade pressed her face against the pillow where he had laid his head, his scent seeped inside Kanade through her nostrils.
â⌠This is amazingâŚ!â
Kanadeâs body trembled uncontrollably.
This was dangerous. She understood that if they continued like this, she wouldnât be able to restrain herself. Yet, being unable to stop herself was precisely because Kanade was still young⌠However, just as her rationality was about to snap, Hayato returned, as if holding back that final burst.
âIâm back⌠and your face is red?â
âOh, um, I was just, uh, getting a little⌠I mean, welcome back, Onii-san.â
â⌠Kanade, youâve been acting a bit strange since earlier.â
âWell, itâs because itâs my first time sleeping together with someone⌠so?â
Indeed, that makes sense. Hayato seemed to be convinced by that.
As night fell, it became colder due to the season. Seeing Hayato shivering from the cold, Kanade immediately lay down next to him.
Almost reflexively, without consciously realizing it, Kanade leaned closer to Hayato. It was true that he felt cold, but that chilliness was just right for her heated body.
âKanade, your body is warm.â
âThatâs because Onii-san went outside. Itâs fine to hug me as much as you want, you know.â
âIs that so? Then warm your big brother up a little~!â
âKyannâŞâ
From Hayatoâs perspective, it was a playful act of physical affection.
Kanade, embraced by Hayatoâs arms, let out a scream of joy. Gathering her courage, she pressed her face against Hayatoâs chest and took in his scent⌠and the excitement she had almost forgotten surged back, leading Kanade to instinctively think that Hayatoâs fragrance was like a drug.
Hayato, holding Kanade tightly, probably didnât notice the face she couldnât show in public. Her expression seemed to say that she wouldnât mind if they were completely shameless and licked each other if there were no clothes between them.
âAlright, Iâve warmed up quite a bit.â
âAhâŚâ
Satisfied, Hayato released his hold.
In that moment, Kanade felt as if the happiness that enveloped her was drifting away, and a sorrowful voice escaped her. Naturally, Hayato noticed it and, understanding from Kanadeâs expression, chuckled wryly and embraced her once again.
âAre you feeling uncomfortable?â
âNo⌠I actually want you to hold me tighter.â
The strength of the arms wrapped around her back tightened.
As Kanade and Hayato held each other like this, she imagined how the future would have changed if they had met long ago. The condition for that, of course, would be the absence of her grandparents as outsiders⌠Kanade realized this and was taken aback for a moment, but quickly smiled.
(Thatâs right⌠I completely forgot about them because I stopped thinking about them.)
Those words would undoubtedly shock her grandparents,. Even without expressing it outwardly, Kanadeâs affection for them had already fallen to the depths of her being, and the words she just thought were everything.
âOnii-sanâŚâ
âWhat is it?â
ââŚYou still have not forgiven Grandpa and Grandma?â
When Kanade asked that, Hayato furrowed his brow.
Kanade immediately regretted it⌠but she waited for his response. She wanted to hear his words to determine how she should carry herself from now on.
âTo be honest, I donât really care anymore. But when I think about Mom, I canât forgive them, you know?â
âUnderstood.â
In this very moment, the existence of âthemâ was completely severed within Kanade.
They were no longer her grandparents, but rather defined as nothing more than trash that tormented her beloved brother. They could no longer reside in Kanadeâs heart, and they would never receive affectionate gazes from her.
It seemed they were still saddened by the previous rejection over the phone⌠But it would probably be best for them not to meet Kanade anymore. If they were to witness the loathing she harbored, it would surely be devastating and irreparable.
âHey, youâre making a scary face, Kanade.â
âFumyu!â
Kanade was startled when her cheek was poked by Hayatoâs finger.
Hayato was looking at her with a troubled expression, but he couldnât contain his stifled laughter, and his shoulders shook. Kanade puffed up her cheeks, but even so, she felt happiness in this casual exchange.
âOnii-sanâŞâ
âAlright, youâre back to normal.â
Thanks to Hayato, the existence of those two had been completely forgotten from her mind. Thatâs why Kanade could rely on Hayato without any negative emotions.
As Kanade pressed her entire body against Hayato, clinging to him, she embodied both a girl who sought comfort as a little sister and a mature woman appealing to her beloved man.
