I'll be fine even if I don't see Sendai-san — 74

I remove my tie and place it on the table.
「I’m supposed to take off my tie, right?」
Why? Sendai-san asks with a look on her face
「We’re exchanging. Sendai-san’s and」
「…What is the reason for the exchange?」
「Sometimes I don’t even have a reason, I just want to trade.」
「You don’t, normally.」
「Even Sendai-san wants to touch me for no reason, so why not exchange with me for no reason?」
I think it is strange for Sendai-san to mess around with this theory since it is a theory she has recently passed. But she won’t take off her tie. She tries to get answers from me.
「Reasons, no?」
「Sendai-san, shut up. Just stay silent and take off your tie.」
When I tug hard on her tie in a troublesome manner, she sounds unmotivated.
「Okay, okay.」
Though she didn’t seem convinced that I wouldn’t tell her why, Sendai-san took off her tie and put it around my neck.
A tie is part of the uniform, so it doesn’t matter who it belongs to. And it’s just a piece of cloth, nothing special. And yet, it hung around my neck, and unlike my own, it felt just a little heavier.
「Are you satisfied?」
Sendai-san says quietly and reaches for my tie on the table. But I snatched it away before her hand could grab the tie.
I don’t think it’s enough to be satisfied.
Uniforms are more than just a tie.
「It’s an exchange, so don’t take it.」
Sendai-san tries to wrestle the tie back from me, claiming it as a matter of course.
「And swap out the blouse.」
The tie and blouse are the same.
It’s part of the uniform, it’s a piece of cloth, and there’s not much difference between one or the other.
So I can borrow a blouse along with a tie.
I think it’s outrageous and I think Sendai-san would be offended.
These are the kinds of orders that should be avoided.
But I can’t stop myself from wanting to hear from her the answers I know.
「You want to take it off?」
Sendai-san stops moving.
「If there’s a way to lend it without taking it off, you don’t have to.」
「That’s already an illusion.」
「Then, undress.」
After a short speech and the handing over of the tie, Sendai-san took it, rolled it up into a ball, and put it back on the table. I thought she would immediately say,「Are you stupid?」But she didn’t say anything.
The order is not to take off her clothes, but to exchange uniforms, so it is not clear if I am violating the rules.
I am spoiled by Sendai-san.
What is good to order and what is bad.
The orders bound by the rules were enough to force me to accept them, even if they sometimes deviated from the promise. But after the summer vacation, we had an unspoken order, even within the rules.
There is no clear distinction between what is good and what is bad to order. They are attached in places and the boundaries are blurred. But Sendai-san will refuse orders that should be refused from mixed orders, so she speaks out of orders that are on the borderline.
「It’s an exchange, right?」
Sendai-san, who had been thinking about it, says as if to remind me.
「Yes. An exchange.」
「It’s okay then, it’s an exchange.」
Sendai-san easily betrays my trust and unbuttons one button of her blouse.
Even if it is a subtle order, this is an order she must refuse.
Even Sendai-san should have known that, but she accepted it. If she doesn’t stop me, I will just be swept away and I won’t stop her. I will just watch the buttons come off.
More gracefully than on summer vacation, Sendai-san takes off her blouse without hesitation.
Unlike that time, there is no conversation today.
Sendai-san is silent, so I stare at her.
Her underwear is white, the same as when I saw her on the rainy day.
I don’t remember if they were the same.
Her breasts, hidden by her underwear, appear to be in good shape.
Come to think of it, on that day during summer vacation, Sendai-san touched my breasts, though it was over my underwear. But I haven’t touched hers, so I feel like I’m missing out.
Now I can reach out a little and touch it anywhere.
I can touch her soft breasts, her smooth flanks.
「Miyagi should also take it off.」
As if to interrupt my evil thoughts, Sendai-san holds out her blouse. When I didn’t take it, a ton of her fingertips hit my arm and I grabbed her hand.
I have never thought of doing this to anyone before, but I want to touch Sendai-san’s body.
Slowly, I slide my hand down and crawl my fingers up my second arm. Pressing hard, the fingertips bury themselves in skin softer than gummy bears and more elastic than marshmallows. But I could not touch her breasts or her flanks. Before I could touch anywhere else, Sendai-san pulled my arm and handed me a blouse instead.
「It’s an exchange, right? Come on, give me your blouse.」
Sendai-san says in a gruff voice.
I put the blouse I received on the bed and knot the tie that was still around my neck. Then I got up and opened the closet.
「Hold on, Miyagi.」
I hear a voice chiding me for not handing over a replacement blouse, but I don’t answer it. I selects one piece of clothing from my closet and gives it to Sendai-san.
「There.」
「Hold it. Isn’t it unfair to bring out a new one?」
I push it on her, it’s a white blouse and it’s the school uniform. Since this is my room, I can give a the blouse without taking off what I am wearing.
「It’s not unfair. Hurry up and wear it.」
「That’s definitely unfair. Miyagi should also take it off.」
「I never said I’d trade you the blouse I’m wearing.」
「…Miyagi’s such a miser.」
Sendai-san raised her eyebrows in a grimace. But she quickly unfolded the blouse in her hand as if giving up.
Her resentful eyes glared at the blouse and then at me.
She looked like she was about to complain, but without saying anything, Sendai-san put on my blouse and put on my tie.
The two buttons of my blouse were open.
Uncomfortable in her clothes, Mr. Sendai tugged at her sleeve. Then she said again,「Stingy.」
