The Case of the Older Woman Next Door Being Way Too Lewd - 9

Chapter 9: The Older Woman Who Launches an Attack

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“Hey, Taka-kun.”

“What is it?”

Since we were both carrying shopping bags, we weren’t holding hands like when we left the house. Even so, the distance between us was still close. When Mashiro-san called out to me and I responded, she continued speaking with a happy expression.

“Those people earlier who were talking in that annoying way, were they your classmates? If so, they ended up seeing you on a date with Onee-san… fufu, maybe they thought Taka-kun has a girlfriend.”

“…You think so?”

Ooi had been staring in fascination, and judging from the voice I heard, Aragaki seemed angry at him for that. I thought serves him right, but when I thought about it carefully, I didn’t really like the way Ooi had been looking either.

“…Fufu♪”

“What’s wrong?”

Mashiro-san had been smiling, but now she showed an even happier smile that seemed to carry some hidden meaning.

“It’s fine. There’s nothing you need to worry about, Taka-kun.”

“Uh…?”

That was all she told me. I didn’t understand what meaning those words carried, but it sounded as if she was reassuring me that there was truly nothing to worry about. With the sunset-stained sky behind her, Mashiro-san’s smiling face looked so beautiful that I became embarrassed and lowered my gaze, unable to look at her directly.

“Come on, let’s go home.”

“…Okay.”

Normally she would have teased me, but this time Mashiro-san said nothing and simply walked beside me until we reached the house.

“……………”

When I glanced to the side, Mashiro-san was walking straight ahead. …It might sound strange to say, but she had a rare, dignified expression. Thinking that this expression suited her too, I watched her profile while having that impression.

After that, the two of us returned to the apartment with few words. When we entered the room, I placed the shopping bags in the living room. At that moment, Mashiro-san suddenly hugged me from behind.

“…Taka-kun, Taka-kun, Taka-kun!”

She wrapped her arms from my back around to my chest, holding me with her whole body as she spoke. Since she was pressed tightly against my back, her breath reached me through my shirt.

“That was dangerous. Onee-san almost couldn’t hold back any longer when I saw Taka-kun’s cute embarrassed face… I was about to jump on you.”

“…Ah, so that’s it.”

So that was the situation. I had thought Mashiro-san’s dignified expression earlier was unusual, but in reality she had just been holding shopping bags in both hands and forcing herself to endure it. Inside, she had wanted to hug me the whole time like she always did… ahaha, Mashiro-san really hadn’t changed at all.

After that, she kept hugging me until she was satisfied.

“Alright! Taka-kun, why don’t you go take a bath?”

“You’re okay with me going first?”

“Of course. Onee-san will start preparing the ingredients.”

Now, some people might tilt their heads in confusion here. The truth was, just like usual, I was staying the night in Mashiro-san’s room today. She told me I might as well take my bath here too, so I had already brought all my clothes over.

“Then I’ll go take a bath.”

“Have a good soak♪”

At that moment, I really should have turned around and looked behind me. If I had, I would have noticed Mashiro-san smiling in a meaningful way… But thinking about it now was pointless. Mashiro-san’s meaningful smile, the bath, and the location being Mashiro-san’s room… You could already guess what happened. Right. I had allowed her to invade me at my most vulnerable time.

“Alright. Then I’ll wash your back.”

“…Okay.”

I tightly shut my eyes and endured, desperately trying to keep the blood from rushing to my lower body. Of course I was also embarrassed to be seen, so I had properly wrapped a towel around my waist. Mashiro-san gently washed my back with a soapy towel, and although it tickled a little, it felt pleasant. Honestly speaking, it felt really good.

“…Ahh.”

“Fufu, does it feel good?”

“Yes.”

A voice almost like I was melting escaped from me… maybe that was an exaggeration, but it was something like that. For a while Mashiro-san gently washed my body, and then she suddenly murmured quietly.

“…Your back is big. It really feels like a boy… no, like a man.”

“Well… I am a man.”

“That’s true… but I really love this back.”

“!”

Mashiro-san’s arms slipped under my armpits and wrapped around me. It was the same position as when she hugged me in the living room earlier, but this time neither of us was wearing clothes. That meant I could clearly feel Mashiro-san’s bare skin against my back.

“M-Mashiro-san…”

“Fufu, your heart is racing. But you understand, right? I’m the same.”

She wasn’t just wrapping her arms around me. With the tips of her fingers, she traced small circles over my chest… right around where my heart was. I tried to concentrate on something else, but the enormous presence pressing against my back was the greatest possible distraction. On top of that, I could clearly feel the slightly firm tips as well. This was bad… really bad in many ways.

“You called me a lewd Onee-san, Taka-kun. In that case, it can’t be helped if I do things like this♪”

“……………”

…Wait, something felt strange. My head felt a little fuzzy. It was hot, extremely hot, and I felt lightheaded. What was this… it didn’t feel unpleasant, but it felt like my consciousness was slowly drifting away… 

Ah, I see… I’m overheating.

“…Mashiro-san.”

“What is it? …Oh my, could it be Taka-kun?”

“Yes… I feel dizzy.”

Mashiro-san fell silent for a moment. Then she quickly apologized loudly and hurried me out to the changing area. She turned on a fan and fanned me with a hand fan, looking a little dejected as she sent cool air my way.

“I’m sorry, Taka-kun…”

“No… it’s just that I’m not used to this.”

“…You must not get used to any female body except mine, okay?”

“Yes…”

For now, I nodded. But… my body temperature didn’t seem like it would drop anytime soon. Why? Because Mashiro-san was completely naked. In other words, right in front of my eyes as I lay there, parts of her body were bouncing softly with her movements. In the end, after wiping ourselves down, we got out of the bath. By the time we returned to the living room I had fully recovered, and Mashiro-san had also returned to her usual self, which reassured me.

“Um… I did get overheated, but… I was happy too.”

“…Really?”

“Yes. So if it’s okay, maybe we could bathe together again sometime… ah, sorry for saying that suddenly.”

“Okay, I understand! Next time I’ll be careful! And then we’ll cuddle and flirt plenty!!”

Maybe it was because of that conversation… but I might have spoken too quickly. After the bath, it was time to prepare dinner. I prepared the meatballs for the hot pot while Mashiro-san cut the vegetables. We divided the roles and worked together.

“A simple mizutaki hot pot is nice too.”

“Yeah… ah, good. We still have ponzu sauce.”

Preparing food together like this really was nice. It felt a little like we were reaching too far, but somehow it felt like we were a married couple… though I could never say that to her directly.

“Somehow we look like a married couple♪”

“…Huh!?”

“T-Taka-kun?”

I was shocked because she said exactly what I had been thinking. Seeing Mashiro-san tilt her head at my reaction, I shyly admitted that I had been thinking the same thing.

“T-Taka-kun!”

Mashiro-san looked deeply moved, her eyes moist with emotion. After that, perhaps wanting to remember the moment, Mashiro-san took a photo of the bubbling hot pot in the center of the table and posted it. But then she suddenly raised her voice.

“What’s wrong?”

“…Um… sorry, Taka-kun. I think it’ll be fine, but… here.”

“…??”

Mashiro-san showed me the photo of the hot pot. At first I didn’t understand what the problem was, but then I noticed the same thing she had. In the corner of the photo, at the edge of the table, my smartphone was visible. The case had a character that both Mashiro-san and I liked… But for this, we wouldn’t know anything until people reacted.

“……………”

Mashiro-san carefully read through the many replies that immediately started coming in. However, none of them pointed out the phone. Either people assumed it was a secondary device, or they simply didn’t care.

“…It’s been a while since I made a mistake like this. But judging from the reactions, it seems fine. Besides, it’s easy enough to make excuses. Well, I wouldn’t mind using this chance to hint about our lovey-dovey life together, Taka-kun♪”

You really don’t seem worried at all…

Anyway, even though there was a small incident, the preparations were complete. Mashiro-san and I sat facing each other, put our hands together, and said, “Let’s eat.”
