When I Helped the Beautiful Sister Duo Being Hit On, I Ended Up Being Taken Home as a Thank You - Chapter 33: Before the Shower

Chapter 33: Before the Shower

…This is an unfamiliar sight. A large wall-mounted TV, a long desk neatly arranged with brochures and amenities, and a dimly lit room with a single double bed.

The small light near the pillows casts a faint glow, illuminating a bed far too large for one person.

I sit stiffly on the edge, doing my best to keep my composure. Next to me, Kana, her skin slightly flushed, sits quietly in a bathrobe.

We’re in a hotel somewhere in the city. We didn’t miss the last train, nor were the trains stopped for any reason.

No, this is all Mizuse’s doing. Her cryptic parting words turned out to mean this: she had booked a hotel room for us to stay in.

And, of course, my terrible hunch was right once again. Why does it always have to be right?! I’m not some kind of fortune teller—this “accuracy” is the last thing I need!

If fate insists on giving me such predictive powers, I’d rather win the lottery for once. I screamed these thoughts internally, but no amount of protest could change reality.

Then again, when I really think about it, maybe this is more like a reward. Staying at a hotel with Kana, just the two of us.

It’s the perfect way to end a date, the pinnacle of romance. …If it had been planned by the two of us, that is.

Instead, we were forced into this by Mizuse’s meddling, completely unprepared, now sitting here with nothing but underwear and toiletries hastily purchased at a convenience store.

This is the very definition of a “blessing in disguise,” or perhaps, an “annoying favor.”

“Souma, you should take a shower too,” Kana said, her voice soft, breaking the silence.

“O-Oh, yeah.” This situation practically screams intimacy.

The idea of simply sleeping without anything happening feels utterly impossible. Kana had already taken a shower the moment we got here and now sat there in her bathrobe.

I can’t even be sure she’s wearing anything underneath. Her face has been red this whole time, and she’s been unusually quiet.

…When Kana acts like this, she’s almost certainly inviting me. It’s happened a few times before, and every time, she had the same expressions and behavior.

Even Mizuse said Kana wanted to be with me like this. Knowing that, I’m thrilled enough to die happy.

Her appearance combined with her surprisingly strong libido… it’s almost too perfect to handle.

I’d love to pin her down on the bed right now, but there’s something I need to do first. “Before I take a shower, let me check the room.”

“Huh? What for? Did you lose something?” “Not exactly. I’m making sure there aren’t any hidden cameras.”

If it’s Mizuse, there’s a chance she impersonated Kana to check in early and planted cameras all over the place.

The fact that she left earlier than us only adds to my suspicions. And knowing Mizuse, she’s capable of doing something like that.

The thought alone is terrifying.
