Chapter 25 – Don’t Show It!
The whole family is going to my dad’s parents’ house for the summer holidays.
Mina-san looked a little fidgety until we reached her parents’ place. I wonder if she was nervous.
We traveled by bullet train across the prefecture and arrived in a quiet countryside that is the complete opposite of where we live. It’s lonely, unlike the more populated places, but I like the quietness.
We took the bus from the station to the house. My dad and Kaho-san sat next to each other, and me and Mina-san sat next to each other without any exchange. For a moment, I remembered what happened with Shirai-senpai. Then Mina-san spoke to me from next door.
“How was your date with Shirai-senpai the other day?”
Our family were the only ones on the bus, but Mina-san asked in a whisper.
“It was fun. We talked about going somewhere together again next time.”
“Heh~, that’s great. Do you really like her?”
Grinning, Mina-san asked.
“I like her as a senior, but I don’t like her as a member of the opposite sex”
“Hmm~, I see~ By the way, I’m going to the beach with my classmates in August. Do you want to come, Yuuto-kun? You can invite Katayama-kun too.”
I don’t think it would be fun to go to the beach together with that kind of group…
“By the way, who are the kids in your group?”
“Well, the girls are me, Iori and Chinatsu, and the boys are Mori-kun and Hasebe-kun.”
I knew it… I’ve never talked to Mori and Hasebe Riku, and Iori Nakahara and Chinatsu Ootsuki are people I would never talk to. If I go with those people…
“This could be a good opportunity for you to get to know Mori-kun and Hasebe-kun, you know? They are both very kind.”
“I’ll think about it. I’ll ask Katayama.”
“Yeah, okay. Let me know if you decide to go.”
I was talking to Mina-san and in no time at all, the bus arrived at the bus stop where we got off and we walked for a while. Then, a big old house came into picture.
“Could it be that house?”
Mina-san asked me while walking beside me.
“Yes, that’s right. It’s hot and I’m thinking of going to the river nearby after I drop my luggage, do you want to go too, Mina-san?”
“Yeah, let’s go.”
***
When we entered the house, my dad and Kaho-san went to see my grandmother, and Mina-san and I were caught by an adult woman.
“Welcome, Yuuto-kun. Don’t try to run away~”
“Aimi-san, please stop sticking to me… By the way, why are you here, Aimi-san?”
I asked Aimi-san while she was holding me and leaned her weight on me. S-So heavy…
“It doesn’t matter, is it? Koji and I happened to go home at the same time. Anyway, this girl is Yuuto-kun’s sister…Mika-chan?”
“No, I’m Mina. Yuuto-kun, who is this person?”
When Aimi-san got Mina-san’s name wrong, Mina-san immediately corrected her and asked me to introduce her to Aimi-san. I tried to introduce her, but Aimi-san moved away from me and went to Mina-san and started to introduce herself.
“Nice to meet you, this auntie is Asai Aimi. I’ll show Mina-chan a picture of Yuuto-kun when he was little later.”
“Wait, don’t do that.”
Aimi-san said she was going to show the photos to Mina-san and I panicked and stopped her, but Mina-san said she wanted to see them with Aimi-san.
I can’t stop them… It’s the worst. If Aimi-san stays with Mina-san any longer, I don’t know what she’ll say this time. I have to get her out of here as soon as possible…
“Mina-san. Shall we go to the river?”
“Ah, yes.”
“What, you two are going? Then I’ll go too.”
Aimi said so, but I ignored her and took Mina-san’s hand and went out of the house. Then, Aimi-san shouted at me from behind.
“Mina-chan, I’ll secretly show you Yuuto-kun’s pictures when you come back~”
“You don’t have to show it to her!”
I turned around and said to Aimi-san… I mean, you can’t do it secretly when I’ve already heard you. If she tries to show the pictures to Mina-san, I’ll do everything I can to stop her. I don’t want her to see pictures of me when I was little.
“Y-Yuuto-kun, how long are you going to hold my hand?”
“Ah, s-sorry!”
I hurriedly removed my hand from Mina-san’s…
“You don’t have to apologize… I don’t mind you holding my hand. Ah, I forgot something, can I go and get it?”
“Ah, yeah, sure. I’ll wait for you here, then.”
Mina-san went back to the house and I waited outside although it was hot for a while. She said she was going to pick up something she forgot, but at this very moment, she’s not having Aimi-san show her my pictures, is she?
Five minutes later, Mina-san came out of the house with a small handbag.
“Sorry to keep you waiting. Let’s go.”
“Ah, yeah…”
Mina-san came with a smile on her face, so I was a little worried, but I guess there’s no need to worry.
***
There is a river a short walk from the house and Mina-san put down her handbag and approached the river.
“It’s a beautiful river. Now then…”
“Eh…? Wait, Mina-san!?”
Mina-san suddenly took off her clothes in front of me, so I hurriedly turned my back to her.
“W-Why are you taking off your clothes all of a sudden!?”
“Eh? Because my clothes would get wet otherwise.”
“No, that reason is—”
“Are you misunderstanding something? I’m wearing a swimsuit…”
What…?
Embarrassed by my misunderstanding, I cautiously looked behind me. I saw Mina-san in a bathing suit with a cardigan over it.
“Mou~ Yuuto-kun. What were you thinking? Tell me~”
Grinning, Mina-san looked into my face, but I averted my gaze from her.
“W-When did you put that on? You didn’t wear it from home, did you?”
I never told Mina-san we were going to the river.
“I thought I might have a chance to wear it, so I brought it here. If we’re going to play in the river, I might as well wear a swimming suit so that I can get wet and play to my heart’s content.”
“What are you doing in the river?”
The river isn’t that deep, so I think you can wear normal clothes.
“My, my… It’s fine~ Come on~”
Mina-san entered the river and splashed water towards me.
“Wait, I’m in normal clothes!”
“It’s fine, it’s nice and cold, so let’s just get all wet.”
What kind of an offer is that? But it’s a bit frustrating that I’m the one who keeps getting splashed with water. Since a while ago, Mina-san has been splashing me while talking to me.
“You don’t have to fight ba—Ah, so cold!”
“It’s payback.”
“Mou~, you’ve done it now~”
After this, the water-splashing continued until we got tired of it.
