Chapter 334

"Mm. — Mm."

It is already morning... My face is cold. Come to think of it, are you still in Snowflake? But my body is unusually warm. Why.

Ah, perhaps it is because I fell asleep holding Sakura. Nade-nade. It is fluffy and warm. My hair is also smooth. Good child, good child... Hair?

I open my heavy eyelids and look at Sakura in my arms.... Ah, yes. Not Sakura. Then this is...

You cannot see it because it is hidden under the futon, but it is large. I am not a cat. Oops, when it is not a soft cherry blossom, there is no one else...

When I gently flashed my left arm through the quilt, I saw a cherry-colored head as expected — as expected.

A curled-up Uranus lay beside him, humming quietly. Face to face with me.

Hoo... hoo. How did this happen?

I have no idea, but they seem to be sharing a bed.... It might be misleading, but there is nothing more to say. I place my absent-minded left hand on Uranus's shoulder. As if it had been Fixed in one position until just now, there was clearly a familiar warmth.

... Honestly. It is comfortable to hold, without obstruction. That is not good... seam said something similar, but this is cute. Carrying it on my back is not bad, but it feels like another dimension. Besides feeling the same as Sakura, there is a lot of huggability.

No, well. I cannot just go on like this. What should I do.

Just kidding, what is going on? I do not remember. Also, is it possible that in this state of contact, I cannot wake up either? Are you half-asleep and half-awake?

Yes. Which of these futons was originally slept on? If you can tell whether it is me or Uranus, you should be able to tell which one invaded.

... But there is one futon, yet it was pushed to the side of the room and folded up. The position of the futon I am sleeping on now is also in the middle of where we originally laid out the futons. In other words, I do not know which futon is which.

Well, finding the culprit is fine... it might be me. I want to solve this for now. I do not want to wake Uranus up.... If I make a squishy cedar tree, will I wake up quickly? Well, let's do it Together. This is a must, hmm.

Rubbing the little animal's body here and there, such as the back, sides, abdomen, etc. It is warm, soft, and smells good. The defenseless expression of tickling the body is also cute. Look, cheeks squishy.

"... Mm."

What is wrong, Aneki? It is early in the morning again... Hmm?"

Wake up. I roll my eyes. I quietly

"Good morning..."

"..."

Good morning. Wow, it is okay, but uh..."

It is actually in a very bad state. They let each other wear yukatas, in close contact in almost the same futon. If I woke up later, I would wonder what happened. Furthermore, the futon is filled with each other's scent.

... I am fidgeting, you should have noticed what I am doing. Bad...

"What is this?

Wait a minute? Why am I sleeping Together with Aisha?"

This is my bottom line. I am too soft, so I detoxified.

"I mean, there is still a strange feeling in my body...

What did you do?"

"Ah, uh, I just woke up, what is going on...

I do not remember anything, you know?"

"... No, I do not remember.

Did you sleep normally last night? On separate futons."

"I remember that too, but...

Did you do anything in the middle of the night while half-asleep and half-awake?"

"What?

... I do not remember anything. Uh, do you really not care about Aisha?"

"That...

Not at all.

But in this state, it is unnatural for both of us not to notice each other at all."

"... I am not lying, am I?"

"I am not lying either."

"Eh...

What is this? How scary."

"... Now, let's get up.

If you cannot wake up, how about another massage?"

"A little!

After all, I am rubbing!"

"No."

"Well, please stop."

Uranus hurriedly jumped off the quilt and then woke up. I got up too. The heat and scent emanating from the futon gently woke me up, making me dizzy. However, noticing the exposed yukata, they quickly averted their eyes and Fixed the yukata — ah.

seam and meleoron are lying on their futons, staring at each other.

"... What are you doing?"

The question from the almost-convinced pervert made me feel sick from the morning. Damn it, you completely misunderstood, didn't you? How should I explain this?

"Eh!?

No, Omara woke up!?"

"A while ago..."

"... You guys, keep it up. No matter how much."

"Hey, no!

I mean wait! Why is Omara sleeping in the same futon!?"

Oh, that's true. Seam and Meleoron also slept on the same futon.

"……Big sister."

"Hm?

What did I do? Why did you sleep with me in the first place?"

"……

Big sister told me to let her sleep with me in the middle of the night because it was cold……"

"……Yeah. Sorry."

"I don't mind."

Meleoron looks embarrassed, Seam looks grumpy. ……Hm, I know what happened. Meleoron is sensitive to the cold, so I can understand him, we get along well.

That is the problem...

"I don't remember very well, but I wonder if it was cold, and we slept Together."

When I said that, Uranus looked at me suspiciously. ……No, I don't remember. What I just said is correct.

"Did you sleep with me because it was cold?"

"... Maybe."

"Really?"

A convincing Seam, perhaps a suspicious Meleoron. Uranus straightened his messy Hatsu with his fingertips,

"I don't even remember what happened before I went to sleep.

No, I was supposed to sleep normally, but when did this happen?"

"……Think about it, Uranus, talking about your sister in your sleep."

"Pfft!?"

"——I don't know, I didn't say anything."

I turned my face away. Heh heh. It looks very inconvenient.

"Does your sister often give you a massage when you wake up?"

Uranus shouted: "Shh!?" That's a star reaction. I completely understand.

"What, are they really not good friends?"

"No!

I kept telling you to stop, but you still tickled me while I was sleeping!"

She probably wanted to massage Uranus's body, so she did that too. And more.

"Wow, you are that..."

"Very good."

"Eh, what's with this reaction? Wait a minute."

"I think your sister also wants to have physical contact with Uranus, right?"

"……I think I was completely subjected to Harassment."

Uranus doesn't seem to understand why he was touched. This is interesting, so I felt relieved.

"……Aisha. Are you also rubbing?

I thought you were confused, but……"

I was startled by the pervert's sharp point. Yes, this is not a misunderstanding. No denial. However, Uranus's eyes are cold. Sorry.

"Cunning. I will do it too."

"Shen! How could you say such a thing in this atmosphere!?"

"Hm. Then extinguish the cherry blossoms.

I will use squishy instead."

"I refuse!!"

"Then here."

"Wow!? Don't jump in and talk!"

"Squishy."

It's good from the morning.

After being punished and Kneading as much as possible by Seam, Uranus angrily went to the couple's room to see how things were going.

The sister hits the younger brother,

"You did too much."

"Because."

However, this is interesting. I'm in trouble because Uranus can't really get rid of it. You will know that Seam is just spoiling you.

There was a knock on the door outside.

"Good morning. I brought you breakfast."

"Oh my, it's beautiful from the morning."

"Really?

I knocked on the door from the outside while listening to such a voice.

"Yes."

"I will disturb you."

Pushing the door open to look, it was a double room, it still felt a bit cramped, and the usual couple was inside. Above the Kotatsu, the quality and quantity of food that is a bit Heavy to eat in the morning were lined up.

"Ah, Uranus. Good morning."

"I thought you definitely brought dessert."

"Good morning. If you want dessert, you can buy it.

Did you two sleep well?"

"Refreshing."

"I'm not good enough..."

After all, I smiled bitterly. Aside from Belle, Motarike talked so much that I couldn't sleep either.

"I am very sorry for suddenly forcing you to talk like that.

But please wake me up properly, okay? Perhaps it is because today is a long day.

How about a bath after the meal?"

"I will certainly go in.

I meant to ask, what about you all?"

"We are going in too, but we cannot be Together."

"It doesn't matter even if we are Together."

"No way.

Sorry, please continue. Of course, it will be fine after eating."

"Pfft.

Fine, we fell behind yesterday, so what. I get it.

... By the way, I feel like my whole person is a bit messy, did something happen? Isn't it strange to wake up?"

"Not at all."

That is because I have been scrubbing everywhere since morning. I really want you to give me a break.... Aisha's sweet fragrance lingers in my nose, and I feel like I am going to get drunk.

"You are blushing, what is wrong?"

"... It's nothing."

Uranus returned. He looked up at the Kotatsu, tilted his head,

"I am very happy that you ate first."

He noticed that no one had touched breakfast and asked strangely.

"I knew you would be back soon.

Since there is a big event, I thought we should eat together."

"That's right, the gluttonous Aisha held back, it was worth it."

"Melon."

"If everyone eats together, it will taste better."

Seam said happily. Uranus showed a shy smile and quickly entered the Kotatsu.

"Then, shall we eat?"

There were various delicious things like small hot pots and fresh seafood, but the most delicious was the minced salmon. Gohan moved forward.

"Are you still refilling?"

"Mommy... because it is delicious."

"Gohan, do you want more?"

"Ah, no. Before that."

Honestly, I could still go for more, but this is breakfast. It is hard to go there.

"After eating, we will play in the game corner and wait for those two to bathe.

If you want dessert, you can ask."

That is also good. Let us eat it in the Winter Town without hesitation. While thinking about what to do for fun after dinner,

"Speaking of which, I don't know why I was like this when I woke up in the morning."

"Ugh!?"

It seemed a bomb was thrown, and the three of them choked at the same time. Abu, this is a place to do such a thing!

"Hehehe. Oh, don't say it now..."

"Sorry."

"Cough cough... it is true.

Well, did I mention Meleoron was cold?"

"Ugh—ugh. But I don't remember very clearly..."

"Big sister, did you sneak into my bedding yourself?"

"Sorry. But you don't remember, do you?"

"Hmm. Did you say anything else?

... The bedding is gone."

"There is a roll of bedding in the corner of the room."

"Could it be that you didn't know you slept poorly last night and flipped the bedding over?"

"I might have been like that, but what about you all?"

"... I don't remember."

"I don't remember..."

"Really?"

I have no doubts about this....? No,

"Perhaps it's unrelated, but perhaps I had a dream where I fell asleep holding Sakura."

"Oh, that's a good one."

"Are you dreaming?"

"Even if you say so."

"..."

"What's wrong, Uranus? You look a bit sick."

"... It's nothing."

Uranus wrote to Gohan, as if the topic had already ended.

"Did you have a strange dream?"

"... Not looking."

Again. You said something similar before.

"Uranus. Isn't there a countermeasure for this?"

"Hey, if I have to say, if I keep Stick-ing to it, I'll definitely lose."

"Eh."

Seam was very rough, making her legs flap. After finishing breakfast, we went to the game corner we had agreed upon earlier. Shim was also trying the Rock Paper Scissors game, but she was beaten just like Uranus was yesterday.

Seeming to look at me with a painful expression,

"Aisha, kill Kataki."

"That's impossible, it has nothing to do with the power of Rock Paper Scissors."

I mean, this game is useless. It just looks easy, with no chance of winning. It might not be the problem with the game itself, but the balance of winning and losing is strange to begin with; it's impossible to play at all.

"Strangely narrowed the scope, so this is a victory.

Let's play another game."

... Looking back. Seam was trembling unbelievably,

"Because the one that broke the block yesterday was too hard."

"Then let's do something else."

Alright, I wonder if I'll get dessert too. Let's look at the scenery from a high place.

Meleoron and I were enjoying the sweetness, and when Uranus and Seam were playing a farce, classmate Motarike came up, and then classmate Bell came out of the Hot Spring. Okay, can we go in too?

Splash! Meleoron submerged himself in the bathtub.

"Pfft! Zhiming!"

"You look like an uncle, Meleoron."

"So this is the last Hot Spring?

Don't you want to enjoy yourself to the fullest? If you don't mind, grandson."

Even if it's not like that, if you go to such a cold place to soak in a Hot Spring, wow! I want to say one thing."

I giggled back. Meleoron also likes bathing. On this point, I agree with you.

"Let's go, you should get in as soon as possible."

"Yes yes."

After soaking in the hot water, I went to bathe too. A little bit of snow was flickering, reflecting the morning light, appearing a bit dazzling. This is truly wonderful.... If this is the last time, it would be a pity. I want to come again with everyone.

Part of it is because Meleoron messed up, and part of it is because Mr. Bell was still here just now, my feet are all wet. Careful not to slip, I walked to the bathtub and slowly dived into the water.

"Hmm... hmm."

"You look like an old lady, Aisha."

"Eh, lying?"

"Hahaha, just kidding.

Don't worry, even girls of that age usually do this."

I think I was teased. I puffed out my cheeks, and Meleoron giggled,

"I'm not just retaliating.

Because you said you were an old person."

"I didn't say that.

... But if it bothered you, I'm sorry."

"Don't worry.

Besides these, I have one more thing to ask you."

"What?"

"What, are you flirting since the morning?"

"Buho!?"

Hehe, he's here! Damn, I thought you'd come to mess with me, but I let my guard down!

"Seriously, it would be nice if we could get a double room from Hana.

Nothing, sleeping next to us—"

"Geho! Wait a minute! No, it's a misunderstanding!"

"Misunderstanding?"

"Cough, that's why I'm explaining! I don't remember why it turned out like this."

"Hmm? Misunderstanding?

What exactly do I have a misunderstanding about Nani? Please explain."

Gu, Gu. This guy...!

"Well, if you say so, you were also sleeping with Seam, weren't you?

Please explain."

"Even if you say that. Did you fall asleep without realizing it?

Seam also said I came in because I was cold."

"... You say."

"That's how it is. Setting me aside, you can trust what Seam says, right?

We are siblings, so there is no mistake."

"......

Do you still remember before when you got drunk, messed up, and Seam was very angry at you?

I just took a quick look."

"Well, yes. That time.

Honestly, I don't remember, but Seam was very angry at me..."

Shy Meleoron. Good, this is your chance to continue the topic!

"But that's all.

So, what were you doing this morning?"

It flowed back in an instant!

"That is...

It's the same as you guys."

"Nani?"

"Uh... and. That.

... I was half-asleep and half-awake, and ended up sleeping Together.

I don't know which one fell asleep, but..."

"That's not what I'm asking.

Well, I know sleeping Together was an accident.

It's not.

Did you flirt with him this morning? Did you hear it?"

I Stick to it. I want to eat a lot.

... Not lying is so serious, is it better to be honest?

"That...

When I woke up, I felt something was wrong.

So, when I looked at the bedding, Uranus was sleeping under it...

I didn't know what to do, so I thought I should wake him up..."

"You wanted to wake me up?

Did you press your chest against his face?"

"Why would you do that!

... Um, um, I gave you a massage, maybe I woke up..."

Hmm? Looking at the pervert suspiciously. No, stop, don't stare at me like that.

"So? Where did you rub?"

"Where...

Back or something."

"Back, or something?"

"......

Armpits, stomach, head, etc."

"Hmm? Anything else?"

"... That's it. Uranus, you woke up right away."

"Pfft.

If you hadn't woken up, where would you have rubbed after that?"

"... Why are you guessing like that?

I'm not lying, I wouldn't do anything strange to the sleeping Uranus."

"Yes. I believe you."

Pfft?... Ah, what? You'll believe me? Until now I was still so Stick.

Meleoron stretched, an indescribable expression on his face,

"I understand why you and Seam would massage his body.

If that's the case, it's just a matter of getting along, if he doesn't hate it, then it doesn't matter."

I don't like it, but... if I do the opposite, I really don't like it.

"But, can you consider it from my position?

When I woke up in the morning, I could see the bedding next to me was twisting terribly.

So, you were there, but you couldn't see Uranus. I had a feeling you were there.

The seam was already sewn, of course I was looking at the bedding, it was damp and soft."

You will certainly hear it. What are you doing? What?

"... I really don't know how to explain it?"

One. Ah—!?

"I am very sorry!!"

"Good to know."

Blushing while apologizing.... I get it. Meleoron, you are really angry. It was my fault for misleading you...

"No.

I don't mind if you do that kind of thing often, but the TPO thing—"

"So it was also a misunderstanding!

I don't usually do it, I just happened to be confused by an accident this morning..."

"Pfft.

Fine, I know perfectly well you guys are jerks, right? I don't think you would do anything weird, right?"

Gu, grumble. Even if I'm being tricked, I can't talk back...!

"... You, do you hate him?"

"...

I don't hate you."

"As a friend, is that what you mean?"

"... Yes."

"I don't know how he sees you."

... I cannot answer. I don't know, and I don't know either.... If you ask me if I want to know, I don't know that either.

"Well, if you ask Achi, you can expect the same answer."

"... Yes."

Why. I have the same feeling, but somehow, I feel disbelief.

Meleoron looks at me anxiously,

"You and Seam just stick to him for no reason.

Even if it's just a simple touch, if you keep doing it, your feelings will change a lot, you know?"

"...? What does that mean?"

"Yes...

I guess the other person's body temperature is much more than you imagine.

Shen, you want to know more about him, don't you?"

Just as I understand, just as I don't understand. Meleoron continues to argue whether this feeling is on the surface.

"You really want to know about him, don't you?

You can tell from Fugura. That guy is full of mysteries."

"Yes...

If possible, I want to know."

"The same goes for you.

You hide a lot, don't you? He always thinks so."

"..."

I see... that's right. We still know each other, and it hasn't been long.... I don't know if I can talk about it one day, but what about Uranus?

"So, I think that feeling of wanting to know might turn into another feeling.

──You want to use the Biscuit of Hatsu to change your gender, right?"

The topic changed suddenly, and I was a bit dazed. After hesitating for a long time, although it was obvious,

"... Yes."

"I don't understand your feeling of not being satisfied with the current situation.

But.

When you can change your gender, can you really intervene?"

I feel resistant to the rather intense tone of inquiry. Meleoron's gaze gives the illusion of stinging.

"Why do you want to change your gender?

If things continue like this, no matter how you fall, you will end up regretting it."

"...

What do you mean?"

"You and Uranus have an interesting mirror relationship.

It looks exactly the same, but somewhere along this line, it is completely opposite.

... Don't you feel that way looking at that girl?

I am half-hearted."

The words sting the heart and make it ache.... Ignored.

"Even if you can't get either one, you are one of those people trying to get both.

Well, I am more worried about Uranus than you.

Atashi, I am thinking, if things continue like this, he will be the first one to fall into trouble."

"..."

Regarding Tianwangxing, all I can do is worry about his health. As for the care of his heart... to be honest, I am an outsider. I want to help you, but...

"Yesterday, you persuaded that couple to return to reality, didn't you?"

"Oh, yes."

Before entering the bath, I told the whole story to Meleoron, who was not present. I didn't want to be involved too much, but he seemed interested.

"I am curious about what Tianwangxing said in that story.

--You clearly want to get rid of it. I feel very good about my life right now."

Ah...

"When I heard this, I thought of something similar.

What did you say was so wrong? It's about you, isn't it?"
