- Chapter 188: Sea Day SS - Rika-chanand the Pool
It was one day during the summer vacation. I was doing my homework with Kaede in the air-conditioned living room in the boiling morning heat when I suddenly received a phone call.
The caller was Taka-san.
‘Hello? It’s Yuya. It’s me. Are you okay now?’
“Are you calling to scam me again? I’m really going to call the police this time!”
‘Hey! I thought we went through this crap in the spring. We did this in April, right!?’
“Did we? It was about three months ago, so I guess I don’t remember anymore.”
What did he want? I was busy with my homework, and just by being on the phone with Taka-san like this, Kaede’s cheeks sitting in front of me were swelling up quickly and she was in trouble, so could you please just inform me the reason for your call?
‘Aah… about that… I’m very annoyed and I don’t want to ask you to do it if I can help it… but Rika-chaninsists saying, “I want Yuya-oniichan!” I didn’t ask you, did I? I’m mad as hell, but I can’t stop myself from granting the wish of the girl I love’
To summarize what Taka-san said in a sad voice, blurting out something that sounded like an excuse, it meant that this phone call was related to Rika-chan. The moment she realized this, Kaede’s cheeks puffed up even more and her eyebrows lowered a notch. Almost to the critical point?
“Mou, I can’t help it then. What’s wrong with Rika-chan? Maybe she wants me to help her with her homework? If that’s the case, come to my house and we’ll–“
‘Ah, no. If it was homework I was after, I don’t mind, I’d even like you to look after it for me? I’m talking to Yuya right now, so wait a minute… Hello, Yuya-oniichan!?’
I could hear Rika-chan’s voice, full of energy. She seemed to have been frustrated by Taka-san’s inability to move the conversation forward and took the phone away from him.
‘Listen, I have a favor to ask of you, Yuya-oniichan… if you don’t mind?’
Rika-chan asked in an earnest voice. Surely she must be anxious about what to do if Taka-san was cut away. Kaede, right in front of me, looked unhappy.
“Yeah. You can ask me anything if you want. What’s going on?”
‘Actually, I want to go to the pool with Yuya-oniichan!’
I froze for a moment at Rika-chan’s unexpected offer, and Kaede let out an inaudible scream with a face like Munch’s scream.
*****
The afternoon after the call. We immediately went to the public swimming pool. This was an indoor swimming facility that not only had a 50-meter pool for swimming, but also a wave pool for fun, a slide, and a mist sauna to relieve fatigue.
“Yuya-oniichan, let’s have lots of fun today!”
“You’re looking good today, Rika-chan.”
I patted Rika-chan’s head, who was wearing the school swimsuit she used in elementary school, clenching her fists tightly and looking a hundred times more energetic.
“Where do we start? Rika-chan, I want to ride the water slide with Yuya-oniichan!”
Rika-chan took my hand and started to walk away. By the way, Harumi-san, who drove us here, said she was going to the hot springs attached to the facility. Taka-san couldn’t make it because of work, and was crying tears of blood.
“I’d love to play in a wave pool on floats with you!”
Kaede took my arm as if she were competing with a second grade girl.
“That’s fine too… but first, Kaede. When did you buy that bathing suit?”
Not the bikini she had worn in Okinawa, nor the ill-fitting school swimsuit she often wore when taking a bath. Today Kaede was wearing a full-fledged swimming suit. But this one was a real eye sore.
“I bought them together that day, thinking this day would come handy someday! What do you think? Does it look good on me?”
As she said this, Kaede bent forward with her hands on her knees and looked into my face. I couldn’t help but look away.
“I didn’t want to show too much skin to anyone but Yuya-kun, so I bought it separately from the bikini… Wasn’t it cute?”
“What are you talking about, Kaede? It’s not that it’s not cute, it’s just that it’s more…sensual than usual, you know?”
The area of skin color was much less than that of the bikini, but it did fit Kaede as if to emphasize the lines of her seductive body, and the fruit seemed about 30% more bigger than usual, making it very difficult to look at directly.
“What’s the matter? Yuya-kun, your face is bright red, isn’t it?”
Kaede must have realized what I was thinking as she grinned and asked me in the tone of a certain elementary school detective.
“Uuh… Yuya-oniichan baka! Don’t make out with Kaede-neesan while patting my head!”
Rika-chan was violently stomping on the ground with her dum-dum. I’m not trying to be lovey-dovey, though, am I?
“You were so lovey-dovey! Yuya-oniichan’s nostrils flared when he saw Kaede-neesan’s swimsuit!”
“The nostrils flared… You know that word well.”
“My mom often tells my dad when he makes such a face.”
I see. So Taka-san was always looking down his nose at Harumi-san-san. Harumi-san-san was a beautiful woman, so it was no wonder. To be honest, she was too good to be Taka-san’s wife.
Well, if you put it that way, Kaede was also too good for me.
“Fufu. It’s okay. Rika-chan’s still cute now, but she will be even cuter when she grows up.”
“… really? I wonder if I can be like Kaede-neesan… ?”
Rika-chan was very cute to say the least as she asked Kaede with moist eyes while speaking in an anxious voice. I think Kaede thought the same thing, and hugged her as hard as she could.
“Mou! Rika-chan is really pretty! I just want to take her home as my little sister!”
“It’s tickling and let me go, Kaede-neesan!”
Rika-chan’s face didn’t look unhappy when she said that, in fact the opposite was true, she looked very happy. In this way, they looked like friendly sisters.
“Fufu. Well then, Rika-chan. First, let’s do a good warm-up exercise, and then we can ride the water slide together.”
“Yes! Thank you, Kaede-neesan!”
Kaede was like a holy mother, gently caressing Rika-chan with a big smile on her face and an expression full of compassion. Just looking at the two of them naturally warmed my heart.
“I know I look like I have nothing to do with it, but Yuya-kun will be with you, right? Put your arms around my waist and hold me tightly, never let go, okay?”
Kaede, who had changed her job from a holy mother to a little devil, put a seductive smile on her mouth and tried to kill my reason.
Needless to say, Rika-chan and Kaede had a heated argument over who would get to hold me afterwards.
