"Wait a moment! Nanaka-san, I actually want to ask you for a favor! Please!"
"Ha—Eh?"
The next morning, Nanaka Kotegawa, who had just woken up and walked out of her room, was halfway through a yawn when Miyazawa Yu voice came from near to far.
Before she could react, the latter immediately crawled in front of her, only wearing his briefs, clearly not intending to give her any chance to refuse.
"Um, Yu, you can just say what you need. Doing this doesn't show sincerity!"
Although Iori was always sliding on his knees, Nanaka Kotegawa always felt that this method of expressing sincerity was very problematic, so she put on a serious face, wanting to guide Yu, who hadn't gone too far astray, back onto the right track!
However, her words sounded different in Miyazawa Yu ears—
What! Kneeling completely naked can no longer show sincerity? It seems Nanaka-san is still holding a grudge about yesterday's offense! In that case...
Clenching his teeth, he simply flipped over and lay down in a dog-like submissive posture, exposing his belly with a flushed face!
"This is the limit I can accept! Please, Nanaka-san!!"
"If you feel embarrassed, don't do it!"
The sight was too beautiful to look at. Making a junior do a shameful submissive gesture, for a moment, Nanaka Kotegawa was actually dazed, truly feeling like she was some heinous villain!
It's over! Begging like this is actually effective!
Shaking her head to throw off the absurd idea that she was a bad person, she quickly reached out and grabbed Yu arm, wanting to pull him up first.
However, Miyazawa Yu also caught the hesitation in her eyes at this moment and naturally wouldn't comply obediently.
In a situation where he wasn't rampaging, who would win a tug-of-war between a petite woman of one hundred and seventy-something centimeters and a big muscle-head of one hundred and ninety-something centimeters?
In the end, Nanaka Kotegawa was tired and holding her waist. Her 36H chest, which needed confirmation, kept trembling back and forth, but she couldn't pull Miyazawa Yu up even an inch.
"Ugh... Seriously, I promise, okay! Get up quickly!"
"No problem!"
Finally, the gentle Nanaka had no choice but to bow to the dark forces. Miyazawa Yu instantly sprang up and guaranteed servilely.
"Don't worry, Nanaka-san. After self-reflection yesterday, I have deeply recognized my mistakes! Today, I just want you to accompany me to SILVERMAN GYM. I absolutely won't do anything else!"
"Really?"
Nanaka Kotegawa looked Yu up and down with suspicion. She indeed no longer felt the scorching gaze.
But she was strongly suspicious of the second half of the young man's phrase, which was meant to cover up his real intent. And for some reason, she always felt that Yu was plotting something very embarrassing!
"Ah! Yu, you're awake already?"
"It's Toshio-uncle. What do you want for breakfast today? Mixed savory pancake or fried noodles?"
The door behind the two opened, and Kotegawa Toshio saw Yu blocking his daughter in the hallway as soon as he stepped out.
But being used to his presence in the house, he didn't find anything wrong. He just rubbed his head sleepily and walked towards the bathroom.
"Let's have fried noodles. After all, we're going into the city later, so keep it simple..."
"I... know!!!"
His tone rapidly rose. Miyazawa Yu was just secretly pleased that he had successfully coerced Nanaka-san, but the next second, confusion rushed into his head—
When did he agree to go to the city with Toshio-uncle? Did the old man make a mistake due to old age?
With this thought, he hesitated for two seconds and still asked: "Um... Toshio-uncle, what are we going to do later? I don't recall this in my memory?"
"Oh~ Don't be shy..."
Peering out halfway from the toilet with a toothbrush in his mouth, Kotegawa Toshio smiled and gave a thumbs-up in praise: "Azusa already told me yesterday. You got a customer, right! You're working hard! Uncle will watch your back!"
"...Huh?"
His whole body froze in place. Miyazawa Yu really wanted to say that this was the cooperation he wanted to invite Nanaka-san to discuss.
However, the words were on the tip of his tongue. Looking at the curve of Toshio-uncle's mouth and thinking about the various care the man had given him as a junior these days...
Damn it! He simply couldn't refuse! Azusa-senpai, you've done too much harm!!!
"Ah... Yes, I was just about to talk to you about this, hahaha..."
Letting out a laugh that was uglier than crying, Miyazawa Yu smiled hideously on his face until Toshio-uncle retreated to continue his wash, and then he thumped weakly to his knees on the floor.
It's over! It's all over. His perfect plan failed before it even started, but he really wanted to know Nanaka-san's figure numbers!
"Um, Yu? This is..."
"I'm sorry, Nanaka-san. Blocking you here so early in the morning and trying to force you into compliance with my body, I'm truly a scumbag."
His pupils lost their highlights. Miyazawa Yu bowed with tears in his eyes, "I apologize, the previous request is void. I want to die first, so I'm going to cook."
"Don't die!!!"
Quickly grabbing the zombie-like Yu, Nanaka Kotegawa took a deep breath, made up her mind, and then dragged the other person into her room and locked the door.
"No one can hear us now, Yu-kun! I also thought about it yesterday and realized that you are indeed a boy of this age, so you can discuss anything with me directly!"
"No, no, no! This kind of thing can't be discussed, right!"
Pressed to kneel on the carpet, Miyazawa Yu looked at Nanaka Kotegawa's worried and serious expression. He opened his mouth several times but still didn't have enough courage.
After all, asking someone to "Please tell me your three sizes" is something he was too embarrassed to say directly to the person, even after being trained by the Pab club!
"...Yu, do you remember what you said that night?"
Bowing her head and pondering for a moment, seeing that he still wouldn't talk, Nanaka Kotegawa could only sigh helplessly and remind him in a gentle tone:
"You said that family members should be tolerant, so you would keep my liking for Chisa a secret. Now, how about I keep your secret for you?"
"!!!"
His eyes wide open, Miyazawa Yu completely didn't expect Nanaka-san to remember his excuse when he was being chased so clearly.
Time stood still for him at this moment. In the blurred world, only he remained, and those unadulterated, tea-brown eyes that seemed to be able to embrace everything.
He asked himself, was Nanaka-san really the type of girl who would get angry if asked about her three sizes?
No! Compared to getting angry, her most likely reaction would actually be to run away with a flushed face, and the best result would be for her to suppress her shyness and satisfy his curiosity!
"So that's how it is..."
He lowered his head and curled his lips in self-mockery. He had actually thought so poorly of the angelic Nanaka-san. He was truly contaminated by staying with Iori and the others for too long!
When he looked up again, the hesitation in Miyazawa Yu eyes had been completely burned away by determination: "Nanaka-san! I've been bottling up this question for a long time. Please tell me your three sizes!!!"
"???"
Chisa Kotegawa, who was passing by her sister's room after just waking up, listened with a bewildered face to the commotion coming from her sister's room. Her CPU didn't process the information for a long time.
By the time she realized the owner of the voice was Miyazawa Yu, everything was already over, and Nanaka door was pushed open.
"Yo, Chisa~ We're having fried noodles this morning. What do you want to drink? Iced water or barley tea?"
"...Barley, barley tea?"
She stared in horror at Miyazawa Yu, who was beaming, as if the mystery that had bothered him for a long time was finally solved.
Chisa Kotegawa quickly sent the other person away with a few words, then rushed into her sister's room.
At this moment, Nanaka Kotegawa had completely turned into a steam engine. On her face, which was two shades brighter than a traffic red light, her features had shyly turned into stick figures.
"Sister! What's wrong with you! What did Yu do to you?"
"Ah? It's little Chisa. It's okay..."
"Does 'it's okay' mean something has already been done! Sister, talk to me!"
Her shoulders were being shaken madly. Little Chisa figure was sometimes far and sometimes near in her vision, but Nanaka Kotegawa was completely lost in thought, with no strength left to calm the other person down.
It turns out that even with psychological preparation, announcing her three sizes out loud was still too embarrassing for her.
Especially the changes in Yu expression from shock to an earthquake in his pupils at the time, which directly made her so ashamed and indignant that she wished she could find a crack in the bed to crawl into!
In that case, the kindness of scaring Chisa into sleeping in the same bed with her on that terrifying night should be repaid now...
