Episode 143: An Unbelievable Invitation

“—Are you sure it’s alright for me to take a bath first…?”

After finishing the cleanup from dinner, Sasagawa-sensei hesitantly looked at me, as if seeking confirmation.

“Yes, I always let Kokoa bathe first, so it makes sense for you to go in first since you’ll be bathing with her.”

Normally, I’m the one who helps Kokoa with her bath, but now that Sasagawa-sensei is here, Kokoa obviously wants to bathe with her instead.

So, it only made sense to let Sasagawa-sensei go first.

“I appreciate it… I’m sorry for the trouble.”

“Don’t worry about it. If anything, I should be the one apologizing for making you take care of my sister.”

Ever since Sasagawa-sensei arrived at our house, Kokoa hasn’t left her side.

Actually, even when we were at Misaki’s house, I had basically left Kokoa in her care.

I feel bad about it.

Kokoa sleeps well, so she probably wasn’t a handful the entire time, but I’m sure it was still a lot of work.

…Or actually, since I was mostly dealing with Misaki, I wasn’t paying attention—but it’s possible that Kokoa was so excited about having Sasagawa-sensei around that she didn’t sleep at all today.

“Sensei, come on…!”

As I bowed my head in gratitude, Kokoa tugged at Sasagawa-sensei’s clothes, trying to pull her toward the bathroom.

If this went on, we’d just keep apologizing to each other endlessly, so I decided to let them go ahead.

And once they were gone—

“Shall we head back to your room, Raito-kun?”

Misaki wrapped herself around my arm with a look of anticipation.

She was clearly planning to cuddle up to me in my room.

She had already brushed her teeth right after dinner, meaning she was fully prepared.

Of course, I had also brushed my teeth, knowing exactly where this was going.

“Once Kokoa and Sensei are done, you can take your bath next, Misaki.”

As I led her toward my room, I casually mentioned this to her.

But then—she suddenly stopped in her tracks and looked down.
