Ichinose looked confused, and Mai answered for her.
“The previous occupants’ belongings are still there. We should clean it up when we have a chance.”
“We’ll do it today if you like,” Amano offered. “Right, Saya?”
“Yeah. We’re pretty strong, so you guys can leave it to us.”
Kamiji pulled a pose showing off her muscles, so I let her and Amano take care of it.
After breakfast, I was going to do the best chore imaginable before going out to pick up supplies:
Haruka and I were going to wash each other’s bodies.
It was such an inexcusably personal act, I felt guilty when I thought about the others who were cleaning up around the dorm. But I worked hard securing supplies day in and day out, so I hoped they wouldn’t mind if I enjoyed a little R & R.
The time was six fifty. I’d be back in plenty of time for my next kiss with Tsukishiro at ten. I loaded plastic containers into the sedan, told the others we were going to the river to fetch water, then left the dorm with Haruka at the wheel.
“…By the way, Haruka, are you feeling under the weather today?” I asked as soon as we left the dorm. She’d eaten a massive amount of whiskey bonbons last night, so I was worried she might be hungover.
But Haruka just tilted her head curiously.
“Me? I’m perfectly fine.”
“Oh. I guess I was wrong.”
“About what? Why did you think I wasn’t feeling well?”
“You seemed to be eating less at breakfast today.”
“Oh, that…,” she said vaguely, sounding awkward. “You’ve got sharper eyes than I thought… I was eating a bit less this morning.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Because…I knew I’d be exposing my tummy right after breakfast,” she explained shyly, though I didn’t really follow.
“What does exposing your tummy have to do with eating less?”
“It’d be embarrassing if I ate a lot and got a big belly.”
“Okay…? But you don’t have a big belly. You’re skinny.”
“Girls want to look as pretty as they can in front of the man they love… Hey, don’t make me say something like that,” she complained. “Come to think of it, Yuuma, do you check how much I eat at every meal?”
“It’s not like I really check or anything, but I do kind of watch over you. I like watching you eat a lot.”
“Y-you do…?” Haruka said, blushing. “Then next time, I’ll be sure to eat mountains of food so you can enjoy watching me. ♪”
We built a fire as soon as we got to the river and started filling the drum with water. The objective here was to wash each other’s bodies, not soak around for a long time, so we only filled it up halfway.
The water eventually began getting warm, and Haruka went into the tent to get changed. I waited excitedly, and about five minutes later, Haruka came back out—wearing only a towel.
“…You seemed awfully happy yesterday when you saw Kamiji in nothing but a towel, so I decided to do the same thing,” Haruka murmured. Looking at her, I felt my heart beating faster and faster. Hot blood coursed throughout my body.
“W-well? What do you think…?”
“I’m not sure I know how to describe the feelings raging through my heart right now.”
“O-okay…”
“For one thing, you look super sexy…”
“I’m glad you like it… Oh, and by the way, I’m not wearing anything underneath.”
“……”
“Please say something.”
“Sorry. My mind stopped functioning.”
“Then…why don’t you go and get changed now?”
“Uh…should I change into my bathing suit?”
“I’ll leave that up to you…but I think I’d prefer it if we were matching.”
“G-got it…!!”
I went into the tent, quickly stripped out of my school uniform, and stepped outside wearing nothing but a towel around my waist.
I stood there facing Haruka, who was also in only a single towel.
…If someone saw us, it would look like we were about to do the deed.
Haruka seemed to be having similar thoughts. She was glancing over my body, smiling shyly.
“…Okay, then. Let’s start washing each other,” she said.
“Y-yeah.”
“Do you want to go first, or should I?”
“Let me wash you first. I don’t think I can wait much longer.”
“Okay… Then…go ahead,” she said nervously.
Turning her back to me, Haruka spread her towel, lowered it to her waist, and secured it in place, revealing the pale skin of her petite back. She had fully exposed the upper half of her body, but from my angle, I could only see her back. Yet since her arms were hanging at her sides, all it would take was a big step to the left or right and I’d be able to see her naked breasts.
“…Okay. I’m ready when you are.”
Haruka was trembling. She must have been pretty nervous.
“…Oh, um, can I look at your front…?”
“…If you want. You’ve already seen it once…”
“Why the change of heart? Yesterday, you said you’d kill me if I looked.”
“A sense of rivalry. What else? I have to do something more intense than Tsukishiro to prove I’m your girlfriend when she’s only pretending.”
“Okay…”
“So…it’s really embarrassing, but…”
She took a deep breath and slowly turned around. There was nothing covering her breasts. Everything was exposed, all the way to her rose-colored nipples.
It was the most beautiful sight I’d ever seen.
I found myself thanking God that I’d been born into this world as a man.
“…I have to ask, but can I see you from the waist d—?”
“I’ll kill you if you try that.”
“Got it,” I said without taking my eyes off her breasts. I had to do everything in my power to burn the sight into my memory.
Freed from the constraints of her clothes, her boobs swayed a little every time Haruka said something, which was unbelievably exciting.
“…Yuuma, you’re staring too hard.”
No longer able to hide her embarrassment, Haruka covered her breasts with her hands.
“Hurry up and start washing me.”
“R-right…”
I put body soap on the sponge and hurriedly started lathering it up, then pressed it against her breasts.
“—Ahn!” She let out a small cry, but there was no way I could stop now.
I moved the sponge around her boobs.
“Eep…! Ah…” Haruka let out a sexy sigh every time I worked the sponge up and down her body. All I was doing was washing her, yet every little thing was just too incredible. It made me think I’d lose my mind. What was going on?!
