I felt lighter ever since Ms. Ayame had given me that advice. Right… I was thinking too hard. I could just… treat Ibuki and Enju appropriately, right? I didn’t need to think hard at all.

Of course, I didn’t want to be ruined like in the game “Love Flowers”. I couldn’t be negligent in making plans preventing that. But I didn’t need to be as careful as not being involved with Ibuki and Enju at all or keeping my distance from them. Rather than that, I had to be involved with those two while I attended Touka Academy.

I couldn’t forget how those two treated Lady Sakuya in the game… Ibuki didn’t want to be forced to get a fiancée or get married, so he took advantage of Lady Sakuya, who had the same family status as him, and kept her as his marriage candidate. When he was in highschool and met the protagonist, he then made Lady Sakuya, who became a disturbance, fall into ruin.

Until then, he had used her a lot, but… the moment she was useless, he could’ve just lowered his head and sincerly asked her to call off the marriage. But, so that he’d be tied to the protagonist… so that he wouldn’t look like the villain… he trapped Lady Sakuya, who had committed no crimes, and made her fall into ruin…

It was hard to forgive them. I absolutely wouldn’t forgive them. Enju also participated in Ibuki’s evil schemes and made Lady Sakuya fall into ruin countless times. In other routes, Enju was the origin of her death… I absolutely couldn’t forgive the both of them.

But… if this was a world different from the one portrayed in “Love Flowers”… if it had changed… then maybe I could become normal friends with Ibuki and Enju.

That was why… I wouldn’t reject them from the beginning… let’s try for now. Ms. Ayame had told me that. I felt lighter and encouraged once again just from thinking that.

As I was thinking that, the bell rang. Today was the day that Kaya-san was coming. It hadn’t been that long since summer vacation started, but Kaya-san had said she wanted to come as soon as possible. She was coming on the earliest day I was available.

“Huh? Yoshizane-sama’s? Yes. I have not become his marriage candidate. I am Saku-…”

“M-Mother! Is it not rude to leave a guest standing here? Kaya-san, thank you for coming. Welcome.”

I cut off Kaya-san, panicked. If I continued letting her talk, I didn’t know what’d come out of her mouth. This person was a little scary… and made an unexpected joke…

The joke didn’t come across to my mom. In the game “Love Flowers”, my mom was a domineering woman like an older version of Lady Sakuya, but my mom in this world was like a super scary Spartan mom. If you said such trivial things, even as a joke, she’d get super mad.

“…that is true. Go ahead. Then, Oogimachisanjou Kaya-san, please enter.”

“Excuse me.”

Fuu… my mom had given Kaya-san permission, so the situation was settled. But I didn’t want her to say overly careless things. This mom of mine really didn’t get jokes…

“Umm… then, Kaya-san, let us go to my room?”

“To your room, Sakuya-chan? Of course, let’s go!”

My mom glanced at us. She probably thought that I was going to talk with Kaya-san in the reception room or somewhere else. But would I really do that? If my mom and Kaya-san started talking, something bad would definitely happen. Even I could predict that.

I invited Kaya-san to my room, but as expected, I didn’t say anything to mom. She probably knew that I was getting in between them because I knew they’d fight. But… I had to do that even if my mom thought something was up. These two couldn’t mix. I understood that.

When two dangerous people met, bad things happened. I knew that well. A combined danger.

“Come in.”

“This is your room, Sakuya-chan…”

The moment Kaya-san entered my room… she started taking deep breaths. What on earth was she doing?

“And… it’s so unlike a first-grader’s.”

“*thump*!”

That was because I wasn’t a first-grader on the inside! That was true!

Scary… Azami-chan hadn’t said anything, but it seemed that Kaya-san had noticed something. Was this just how sixth-graders were? Maybe she knew that I was an adult man on the inside just from seeing my room?

No… calm down… I couldn’t have been revealed that easily. If I had p*rn marketed towards guys lying around, then that’d be suspicious. Unfortunately, I didn’t have those sorts of things.

I didn’t feel l*st like I did in my past life. Maybe that was because I still had a young body or was a woman now. I no longer responded to the kinds of women or situations I liked in my past life.

Maybe it was because my tastes and preferences had changed, or because I became a girl, or because I was still a kid; I was slowly getting to understand. I think it was just lonely that I didn’t react to things that used to make me hard and rushing to get stuff done.

“This is the bed that Sakuya-chan normally sleeps in…”

“Um… Kaya-san?”

When I looked around my room, I saw Kaya-san heading towards my canopy bed with her eyes closed like a sleepwalker. Then…

“Huh!? Kaya-san!? Wh-What are you doing!?”

“*inhale*! *exhale*! *inhale*! *exhale*! Sakuya-chan’s smell! Aah~! I can feel Sakuya-chan’s warmth!”

Kaya-san had dived onto my bed and was now burying her face inside my futon and mattress. She said such things while breathing heavily. She hugged the futon and rolled in it.

Please wait… I had definitely seen something like this recently. Or was that just my imagination?

By the way, quite a bit of time had passed since I got out of my futon, so there was no way you could feel my warmth. I just wanted to correct Kaya-san’s delusions there. I wasn’t a sleepyhead or had been sleeping in since earlier.

“Um… Kaya-san… your skirt is riding up…”

She was rolling around in a skirt, so I could see glimpses of it through her legs… Scary… If I could nosebleed, I would havec.

You might think “What was this person saying about a sixth-grader?”, but I had grown unusually conscious of Kaya-san since what had happened before. She was still in elementary, but there were times when she had a strange sexiness that made my heart race. The slow transition period from being a girl to becoming a woman, the still-young but definitely grown fruits…

Wait, so why was I thinking this… I wasn’t a lolicon or p*do. I was absolutely not a lolicon or a p*do. I was…

“Oh? I’m showing you, though? So look as much as you want, okay?”

“*choke*!”

Kaya-san glanced at me and pulled her skirt up slightly… She slowly took her legs out from where they were underneath my matrsss and futon. In no time at all, I had gulped down my saliva and was looking intently at what was happening.

“Oogimachisanjou-sama, do you not think it is rude to enter Lady Sakuya’s bed and dirty her sheets?”

“Huh? You again?”

Oh! Come to think of it, Momiji was here too. Did she see me intently looking at Kaya-san’s legs? And if I left this alone any longer, Kaya-san and Momiji might fight, right? These two were also a combined danger.

“M-Momiji, Kaya-san, calm down.”

“…well, fine.”

Saying that, Kaya-san got off my bed. Momiji stayed silent; maybe she wasn’t planning to say anything more. It was scary if my mom and Kaya-san had a dangerous conversation, but Momiji and Kaya-san were having a calm fight. I couldn’t clearly say anything, but I felt like there were aggressive sparks secretly flying between them…

I couldn’t do anything in either situation. And it was really scary… What should I do?

“Sakuya-chan, can I look at your desk?”

“Huh? Yes, go ahead.”

Why did everyone want to look at my desk? There wasn’t anything in there, you know? I wasn’t hiding any p*rn novels in there, you know?

“…this is.”

“Huh?”

Then, Kaya-san looked fixedly at the small accessory that I’d bought with Satsuki-chan that was decorating my desk.

“This clearly does not match this room… is this something significant? Has someone gifted it to you?”

“No, it is something I bought with Satsuki-chan when we went out to buy stuff.”

Why was everyone so focused on it? It was just something cheap I’d bought at a normal shopping mall? Did it not fit my room that much?”

“Understood… Saionji Satsuki… I must also be careful of her…”

“Um?”

“Next, can I look at your dresser?”

“Huh?”

D-Dresser? That was definitely not what I expected. Come to think of it, when you were usually invited to someone else’s house, you wouldn’t ask them if you could see their dresser, right? That was true whether you were a young miss or a commoner. I hadn’t heard someone say that in my past or present life.

“Um… is it not strange… to see my dresser?”

“That is not true! I want to see your Western-style clothes, Sakuya-chan. Okay? Is that fine?”

“Uu…”

If she went that far, I couldn’t refuse. But… well, I had my undergarments in there too…

“Oh! Then, what about we go here?”

Saying that, I led Kaya-san inside my walk-in closet. This was a walk-in closet that the maids could enter without actually going inside my room, and that I could enter it from my room. There were Western-style clothes hung around here, but there weren’t any undergarments or Japanese-style clothes.

“I wanted to see the inside of your drawers, but… well, this is fine. Let’s have fun coordinating your outfits, Sakuya-chan.”

No… that dresser was a bad idea, Kaya-san. I had lots of undergarments and socks stored in there. Not necessarily undergarments, but something like underwear…

“What about this and this?”

“Oh, that combination is quite cute. As expected of you, Kaya-san.”

After that, the both of us pulled out a bunch of clothes and put them on my body. As we looked at the clothes in front of the mirror, we thought about the combination.

“Sakuya-chan, you’re cute, so everything looks good on you.”

“T-thank you…”

As we looked at this piece of clothing and that piece of clothing… I felt someone’s gaze from behind me. When I looked there…

“Agh! Momiji…”

“Please, do not mind me and continue.”

Even though she said that, we couldn’t not mind her. Momiji cleaned up the clothes that we had scattered. If Momiji hadn’t been cleaning up, the surroundings would be drowning in clothes.

“Umm… let us return now, Kaya-san…”

“Let’s.”

Kaya-san, who was maybe disinclined to continue as well, stopped moving her hands and consented to returning to my room. Once we had returned, we could hear the ruffling sounds of Momiji cleaning up from the walk-in closet. Since we’d scattered that many clothes, it’d probably also take time to clean up.

“Then, Sakuya-chan, it’s time.”

“What?”

Then, Kaya-san placed her hand on my shoulder and made me walk. We were heading towards… the bed that Momiji had replaced the sheets of and cleaned.

“Sakuya-chan, you don’t have to be that stiff. Maybe you should relax more?”

“Umm?”

Kaya-san put me on top of the bed and laid me down. Then, as if falling onto me…

“What are you doing?”

“Tch… I have already returned…”

Momiji appeared behind Kaya-san and grabbed the nape of her neck.

“One must constantly be on guard, it seems.”

“You too… please make that room cleaner.”

Today, aggresive sparks flew between their gazes again. After that, Momiji and Kaya-san were having those same sparks fly between them until Kaya-san had left.
