While Taking Care of My Shut-In Little Sister, I Somehow Ended Up Ejaculating Inside a Beautiful Girl - Chapter 103: Unexpected Cooperation?

Chapter 103: Unexpected Cooperation?

“Haa…”

With a sigh, Yuu picked up the clothes set aside in the hallway, dressing with a languid air.

“…”

I watched her tensely, while—

“~♪”

Yakko, like Yuu, finished dressing, but with a cheerful hum.

Can I put my pants on now…?

“Ren-chan.”

“Y-Yes!”

Yuu’s flat tone made me straighten up. Since Yakko was dressed, I didn’t have to worry about seeing her naked.

“…Ren-chan.”

As I prepared to fully apologize, Yuu stopped me, crouching beside me.

“Sorry. I didn’t think Tsuki-chan would go that far…”

“…Huh?”

I’m the one who should apologize—why is she apologizing? I was confused.

“Tsuki-chan’s serious, huh?”

“Of course. Did you not know?”

“…”

Yuu fell silent, expressionless, staring at Yakko.

Her messy hair uncombed, it felt like another storm was brewing.

…Why are these two so at odds? I won’t play dumb about that.

But why do they keep interacting without cutting ties? That’s what I don’t get.

“Really, truly, Tsuki-chan’s serious?”

“I’m me. I don’t need to be anyone else… I don’t have to do that. I’m fine as me, no need to lie. I know that now. I was taught that—”

Yakko glanced at me.

“…?”

I tilted my head, but belatedly grasped her meaning and stopped reacting.

Once, Yakko mimicked Yuu’s behavior to get my attention.

I managed to stop her, but… I hadn’t realized how much those interactions affected her.

“So, I’m not hesitating anymore. Sure, I’m behind compared to Yuu-chan… but the fastest love doesn’t always win.”

“…”

“…”

Like Yuu, I didn’t know what to say, hesitating to intervene in their tense exchange.

If it’s a fight, I should stop it, but this is “dialogue.” If it’s about understanding each other, stopping it might be a mistake.

…It’s uncomfortable, but this is probably the price of my past actions with Yakko. I have to accept it.

“I still like Ren-kun.”

“…!”

Saying something like our old phone chats, Yakko grinned smugly.

“(Another girl falls for Ren-chan’s fatherly charm…)”

“Yuu?”

A creepy mutter. I looked at Yuu—her eyes shadowed, glaring at Yakko.

Dangerous sign.

“Yuu-chan had a plan, right? Showing off your lovey-dovey act to hurt me, make me give up, or at least deal some damage. Sorry to disappoint☆”

“…”

Yuu neither confirmed nor denied, just glared.

…Today’s situation feels like both had intentions, putting me in this mess.

“…Well, Tsuki-chan’s drive is convenient this time.”

Yuu relaxed slightly, easing her glare at Yakko.

““…?””

Yakko and I couldn’t hide our confusion.

…What?

Yuu, forgiving Yakko’s antics…?

What’s going on???

I’m lost on how to interpret this.

“Tonight, we need to talk. I’ll call, so stay up. Don’t dodge it.”

“Think I’d run now? You better not sleep through our talk out of fear☆”

“…”

“…”

…Oh, still tense, huh…

Not reconciled? What’s happening???

…I really can’t understand these two.

*

Two adorable girls in aprons and headscarves busied themselves on either side of me.

“Ren-chan, grab the peeler.”

“Sure.”

“Thanks♥”

“Ren-kun, get the chopsticks.”

“Here.”

“Thanks♡”

“…”

The girls’ sweet voices were something, but—

I kept my thoughts to myself, focusing on the task.

—This requires concentration.

To judge if the dancing ingredients are the right size.

In front of me, vegetables and fruits whirled in the food processor, turning to paste—

Now!

“—Take that!”

I switched off the food processor.

The dancing veggies and fruits were now perfect for a smoothie.

I lifted the lid, scooped a spoonful, and tasted it.

“Oh… phew.”

Mmm, delicious.

The leafy vegetable smell was mellowed by kiwi and other fruits.

Smooth texture, with tiny fruit bits asserting their presence, balancing mild and wild.

A mixer might be better for smoothies, but… no nitpicking! Ahem!

“How’s that!”

“Wow~♥”

Yuu paused cooking to clap with a smile. I grinned back, miming wiping my brow.

Tough opponent…! Cooking’s hard work!

“Doesn’t it feel… hollow?”

“Ugh…!”

Yakko’s not mocking but genuinely sad, pitying look hit hard with its sincerity.

Oof, you’re sharp today!

“It’s just a food processor—”

“Quiet! Cooking is cooking! If it’s ingredients, the tool or process doesn’t matter!”

“…Well, we can’t let you season, and we asked you to help, so… it’s fine.”

Yakko seemed to want to say more, but I already knew.

…I’m terrible at seasoning.

My taste buds aren’t off… I think. I agree with others’ food opinions, and my preferences aren’t wildly different.

…Why, though?

I kinda know, deep down—

“I’ve always thought, Ren-kun’s bad at cooking because you’re too—”

“Here, Tsuki-chan! Veggies! All chopped, so go for it!!”

Cutting off Yakko, Yuu handed her two bowls of prepped ingredients.

Yakko’s been learning cooking from Yuu, and now she took the ingredients, adding them to the pot or frying others on the IH stove. A diligent student.

Seeing Yakko’s rapid improvement, Yuu could open a cooking school someday.

Her talent’s dazzling, you know.

“…Ren-chan.”

“Hm?”

Yuu, looking tense, grabbed my hand at her waist, squeezing it.

“You’ve got me, you know.”

“Uh, yeah…”

Not sure what she meant, I squeezed her hand back.

“I’m not worried about it now.”

“…If you say so.”

Her kindness is boundless.

Feeling affectionate, I kissed her cheek.

“—!? Noo♥ Ren-chaaan…♥♥ Here…♥♥”

“Let’s cook…”

I calmed Yuu, who rubbed against me from just a kiss.

“…Ren-kun’s kinda, you know, a beast.”

“Why me?”

Yakko’s sidelong glare threw out an outrageous accusation.

Yuu’s the one acting aroused here, isn’t she…?
