10 years had passed since I started playing the game of sekkusu with my childhood friend. - Chapter 12. Since we used to take baths together back then.

12. Since we used to take baths together back then.

A few days passed after the molestation incident, and Wednesday came around again. I quickly went home and was tidying up my room when the bell rang.

I opened the door to find Haruhime, dressed up in her school uniform, standing there holding a paper bag.

“I’m really sorry, it took me a while to submit my assignment. Here, this.”

The paper bag that Haruhime handed me was from a nearby cake shop. Holding it in my hand, it was quite heavy. The sweet smell that wafted through the air smelled familiar.

“O~h, cream puffs from Meibundo.”

“It’s my way of saying thank you for the other day. I brought some for you and your family, too.”

“The other day?”

“The day we went to school together.”

When you were molested?

“Even though it was uneeded.”

“It’s my way of saying thank you.”

“So we’ll eat together after studying?”

“Un. But first, can I use your shower? I’m all sweaty.”

Haruhime was sweating profusely, especially because it was the beginning of summer.

Saying ‘Excuse me then’, she, Haruhime went up into the house with her backpack.

“Do you have any clothes to wear?”

“I brought some from home.”

Shaking the bag, Haruhime went into the bathroom of our house.

As we have been going back and forth to each other’s houses since we were little, we often borrow each other’s bathrooms. I often borrow Haruhime’s bathroom, too.

The sound of water from the shower can be heard coming from the other side of the door.

“Am I doing something uncomfortable to her ……?”

I was still reeling from Inawashiro’s words.To be honest, I was dreading the coming of Wednesday. The game of sekkusu that took place every Wednesday. That is definitely something that Haruhime desires … But I wonder if I can say that for sure.

It can so very well happen that, in truth, that is something Haruhime does not want to do at all.

Is it really ok with things to go as the way it is going on right now.

“Tet-cha~n.”

I came to my senses when Haruhime called out to me.

“What happened, Haruhime?”

“Sorry, I might have forgotten to bring towel from my home, can you please lend me your’s?”

“A, ~Aah. Wait a min.”

Worrying about this all by myself won’t bring me to any solution.

Today, for sure, I will ask Haruhime about this.

That, why are we continuing this still. Also, is she really fine with continuing this even now. What does she think about me right now.

This time, let me be sure for once and for all.

Will our game of sekkusu come to an end just like any game. Or will it become something different.

“Well then.”

I secretly made up my mind, took a dry bath towel from the closet, and gently opened the door to the changing room that is adjacent to the bathroom.

“Here, I brought you a towel—.”

The moment I entered the changing room, I froze up.

A pale pink underwear folded meticulously. The skirt of the school uniform and the white shirt that Haruhime had been wearing a moment ago.

“Underwear……”

My head turned pink.

Haruhime stuck out her head out of the bathroom door, and with an apologetic smile, put forth her hand to my direction.

“Sorry, sorry.”

The door to the bathroom was made of frosted glass, and although it was dim, I could see the silhouette of Haruhime’s body. Her waist, the contours of her bossom, and her buttocks as if pouting out off her body. Her snow-white skin around her shoulders was especially visible.

“Tet-chan? Throw the towel already.”

Haruhime didn’t seem to mind that at all, and after she received the towel from me, with a “Thank you,” she closed the frosted glass door in front of her..

“A–Arre?”

I completely forgot what I was thinking about earlier. My face feels hot. My head feels hot. I couldn’t get the color of Haruhime’s underwear out of my mind.

After that, with Haruhime, who had finished taking a shower, I, almost imperceptibly, in a hazy mind, started playing the game of sekkusu. The thought that I had to ask something really important to Haruhime had already blown out of my mind.

I was now snuggling, embracing my body with Haruhime’s, who had changed into a short-sleeved T-shirt.

“A~h, nn, iy~ah.”

While deep inside my burning hazed-up head, I heard her soft breath and whispers ringing in.
