“Haruka… Thank you so much…”
“…I’m glad you’re happy… I’ve developed this much as a woman just for you…”
“You have…?!”
I was beyond moved to think she loved me so much…!!
“I’m convinced now that I was born into this world so I could wash your breasts.”
“Hee-hee-hee… Thanks… Oh? Do you want to do something naughtier while we’re at it?”
“That might be an idea… Huh? Wasn’t there a reason why we couldn’t sleep together…?”
Just for a moment, I forgot why we couldn’t have sex.
“—Oh, right. Because I might give you the zombie virus.”
“Yuuma, did you forget something that important?”
“I can’t believe I forgot that. I think I’ve been washing your breasts for so long that my intelligence has gone down.”
The sight in front of me was too alluring to think of anything else.
“Yuuma, aren’t you going to wash any other part of me besides my boobs?” Haruka asked shyly, her breasts covered by soapsuds.
“Sorry. I was distracted.”
I hastily began working the sponge along her stomach and arms, but my gaze was still drawn to her breasts. It didn’t seem like I would ever get tired of staring at those two mounds.
But when I moved over next to Haruka so I could wash her back, I realized something incredible: So far, I’d only been looking at her boobs from the front. They looked more three-dimensional and had a completely different appeal from the side.
…So this is what they mean by side boob…!!
Having experienced that divine revelation, I began to make my way in a circle around Haruka on the pretext that I was washing her entire body—and used that opportunity to closely observe her beautiful breasts from every angle.
The result: They looked fantastic from everywhere.
That was close! I may never have realized if she hadn’t told me to wash the rest of her.
As I continued staring at Haruka’s breasts, a new desire gradually began to kindle inside me.
“…Hey, Haruka? I want to ask you the biggest favor of my life.”
“The answer’s no.”
“I haven’t told you what it is yet.”
“A big favor you want to ask at a time like this can’t be anything decent, right?”
“Th-that’s not true.”
“Okay, then. Tell me what it is.”
“I want to take a photo.”
“No way.”
She said that with absolute finality, covering her breasts protectively with her hands.
“Y-you misunderstand me. I didn’t mean it in a lewd way… I want to capture images of your breasts from the top, bottom, and sides—three hundred and sixty degrees from various angles and heights.”
“You’re just a big perv!”
“No, you’ve got it all wrong. This is art… I’m so moved by the beauty of the female form that I want to create a work of art to commemorate it.”
“Hmm… Art, huh…?” she said skeptically.
“It’s true. I used to look at nude photos before with nothing but an erotic eye, but now I realize that a woman’s breasts are the most beautiful things in the world with unlimited potential.”
“…You know something? You aren’t convincing at all in the state you’re in down below,” she said shyly, lowering her gaze.
That was when I finally realized what was happening to my body.
My lower half was making a very clear statement. I couldn’t believe it, but I’d been so focused on her boobs that I hadn’t noticed.
Panicking, I tried to press it down with my towel, but I was unable to control it at all. Never before in my life had my you-know-what become this impressive… But well, maybe that was to be expected.
“Are you saying that change to your body is what happens when you’re exposed to art?” Haruka asked, narrowing her eyes.
“M-maybe it is.”
“Then is it okay if I take pictures from various angles, too? With the towel off, of course.”
“N-no, I don’t think that’s…”
“See? Then you can’t take photos of me, either,” she said sharply.
Haruka spun around, undid her towel, and quickly wrapped it around her body. When she turned back to face me, her breasts were covered once more.
“Things seemed to be getting a little dangerous, so the show’s over.”
“…What can I say? I’m sorry for acting like a fool.”
“You can say that again. I hope you learn from this.”
“I truly am sorry. I’ll make sure I take this lesson to heart… For that reason, I have a favor to ask… It made me sad how quickly you hid your breasts, so could you let me see them just one more time?”
“What happened to being sorry?”
After that, we finished washing each other’s bodies. Once we’d gotten rid of all the suds and put our clothes back on, we filled our plastic containers with water from the river and put them in the trunk, then left.
It was almost ten by the time we returned to the dorm. I called Mai over right away and kissed her in the hallway. I didn’t think I could ever get used to the idea of intensely kissing Mai right after I’d been fooling around with Haruka.
When we’d finished kissing, we went to the cafeteria, where all our other dorm mates were gathered (excluding Lisa, who’d been on night watch and was now sleeping), and we discussed what we’d do that day. We decided that Haruka would watch the gate and that Ichinose, Amano, and Kamiji would continue cleaning the fourth floor.
“Mai and I will work on clearing the blocked roads. It’ll be better if we can drive farther out in the future.”
From a safety point of view, it was smarter to go alone. Still, something unforeseeable might happen on roads I’d never been on before, so I decided to take Mai with me in case I was held up. I thought Haruka would want to go with us, but she only looked annoyed and didn’t say anything. I guessed she was trying not to ruin the mood.
“I want to ask you guys something. There are blocked roads everywhere, so we’ll need to figure out the order we want to clear them in. How do you think we should decide which to work on first?”
Again, it was Ichinose who spoke up before anyone else. “The first thing we should do is determine where we want to go.”
