CH 100

Chapter 100 – I’ll do my best, Sara-senpai

“Yes, Kazunari-san, ah~n!”

*Chomp*

*Nom, nom*

“Kazunari… to think that you have this kind of side… Oh my! But if it’s you two, I guess it’s alright.”

I also didn’t think I would be doing such an embarrassing thing in front of my mother. However, Sara-senpai’s focus was on taking care of me. If you consider her personality, she won’t compromise whether it’s in front of my mother or others.

“Ha~a… But to think Sara-chan’s meal was this delicious. I bet it tastes even better than mine.”

Okan muttered as she ate the dinner Sara-senpai made.

I won’t voice my agreement, but I do not doubt that Sara-senpai’s meal fits better for my taste buds.

This one thing has not changed since the beginning.

“Oh my, that’s not true. This simmered dish that Mother made was very delicious. Here you go, ah~n.”

*Chomp*

*Ah~n*

“Cute, kind, has a great personality, and is a perfect cook and housekeeper… She’s too good for you, Kazunari. But I’m grateful. If Sara-chan were here to stay, there would be a big change. Also, it would resolve my biggest concern.”

I won’t pry into what her worries were, but at any rate, I could tell that Okan liked Sara-senpai with all her heart.

“Oka-sama, I’m not that great of a person, you know? Besides, staying with Kazunari-san has always been my goal.”

“Kazunari, you should never ever let Sara-chan go.”

“I know, I know. Please stop, it’s embarrassing.”

——————————————

“I’m so glad I got to meet you today, Sara-chan. I’m sorry, but please take good care of my foolish son.”

We’re at the front door now, and I just called a taxi. Sara-senpai and I are seeing off Okan right now.

Sara-senpai and Okan were talking.

“Understood. I am glad to hear that from Oka-sama. First, please leave everything about Kazunari’s care to me until he recovers from his injuries.”

Okan’s approval made Sara-senpai more motivated. I’m happy, though I’m scared of what might happen at school.

“I’m glad to hear that, and don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any problems. And if you run out of money, just let me know, okay?”

Okan will give Sara-senpai support, apparently.

I’m grateful for that, though what does that mean?

“Thank you very much. It’s only the food ingredients, so it’s fine.”

“I can go home without any worries because of Sara-chan here. Then, I’ll see you again.”

“Yes, I look forward to seeing you again. Thank you very much for today.”

*Door closes*

After Okan left, it became silent once again.

But I suppose this was normal?

“Your mother’s a wonderful person. I look forward to the next time we meet her. I hope I can meet your father then…”

“There will probably be a fuss at my parents’ house after this, so I’m sure my dad will come next time too.”

At any rate, it all worked out, so I guess the outcome is all right.

Sara-senpai was more motivated than ever and looked forward to working even harder.

——————————————

After I finished cleaning up the dishes, Senpai said she would take off my bandage.

She said it’s because it’s in the way of taking a bath. I guess that’s true.

I had only wiped my body yesterday, and since it was getting hot and I was sweating a lot, it would be good to at least take a shower today.

“Okay, let’s take off your outer garments.”

She held the hem of his shirt and took it off with a plop.

I don’t know if this was good, but I’m getting used to Sara-senpai’s spoiling.

After removing my clothes in the changing room, I went alone into the bathroom.

And when I was about to sit down on the bath chair…

“Ka-Kazunari-san, excuse me.”

“…Eh?”

*Click*

The one who opened the door and appeared was Sara-senpai, wearing a bathrobe.

I quickly turned my back and looked away.

My towel… Yosh, it’s here.

No, no, no! It’s not the time to worry about my towel!

“Sara-senpai! W-Why a-are you here?”

“Umm… I thought I’d give you a back scrub. You can’t do it with one hand, right…”

Even if she’s wearing a bathrobe, this would be hard… Especially for a young, healthy boy like me.

Because my back was facing Senpai, it seemed she thought she got an okay. Thus, she came in and closed the door.

“Sa-Sara-senpai, you don’t have to go this far.”

“That won’t do. I have been preparing myself since yesterday that I would do this for you. Besides, your mother also asked me to take care of you. I know Kazunari-san can’t wash his back, so there is no choice but to help you with that!”

Sara-senpai’s eagerness was extraordinary.

She seemed to be pushing herself really hard.

She may have seen my upper body, but as expected, it’s different regarding bathing.

And Sara was also wearing light clothing, so she must be very embarrassed.

But what should I do? I can’t turn around until Sara-senpai gets out of the bathroom!

Thinking about this reminds me of Sara in her bathrobe, which I saw a little while ago.

No! Well, if Sara-senpai were in a school swimsuit or something like that, I would genuinely be in a pinch right now… No, no! Stop imagining it!

I was still panicking inside, but Sara-senpai had finished her preparations and sat down behind me before I knew it.

“E-e-excuse me!”

She moistened my back a little, followed by the feeling of a body towel hitting my back as she started washing me.

*Scrub, scrub, scrub*

Ahh… It’s nice having someone wash your back…

No!!!

“Sa-Sara-senpai.”

“If I missed something, please let me know!”

She spoke faster than usual, but still rubbed my back firmly.

I’m embarrassed too, but I’m sure that Sara-senpai must be more embarrassed than I am.

*Scrub, scrub, scrub*

Both of us were silent. And the only sound was Sara rubbing her back.

“Then, I’ll wash it off.”

After Sara-senpai said this, she showered me.

It’s finished… Myself, you did great.

“I-I’ll get out now then, please continue. Don’t use your right hand. And… please don’t leave the bathroom for at least five minutes.”

A thin voice squeaked out from me.

Why five minutes?

“Sara-senpai, why 5 minutes? Ah, changing clothes! Changing… eh…”

I somehow imagined it, and hurriedly stopped.

“Ah! Please stop imagining it!”

Hearing Sara-senpai’s embarrassed voice, my imagination ran wild even more.

“Guh!”

I shook my head, attempting to stop imagining it, but that’s like telling her I’m doing it.

“…I’m so embarrassed… Please stop imagining it… Kazunari-san’s such a tease…”

*Click* *Slam*

After saying that much, Senpai hurriedly leaves the bathroom, as if to escape.

And I spent more than 5 minutes writhing in agony…

Author’s Note:

Thank you very much for reading.

I hadn’t noticed it, but I looked like I had reached the 100th chapter (sweat).

It’s much longer than I had planned. If I keep going at this rate, I’m sure I will exceed 200 chapters… or rather, I will definitely exceed 200 chapters.

I have been grateful for everyone who has read this far.

I’m genuinely thankful. Thank you very much.

In addition, I am often asked about the childhood friend who has not appeared in the story and about their past.

I will not say when, but I will just say that I have decided when she will appear from the start, and have started writing it in parallel with the current story. But as expected, it has become more challenging to write than before.

In any case, thank you for your continued support!
