"Your back should be straight, your movements gentle. Not too fast, slow down."
In the kitchen on the first floor of the Miho Dorm, Mejiro Dober was instructing Shirayuki.
"Let me demonstrate for you."
Dober picked up a teacup and performed the tea-making posture. Her elegant and virtuous movements perfectly showcased the temperament of a young lady.
Just as McQueen had said, due to her personality, Dober was not good at communicating with people, but she had learned her etiquette very well, to the point where she could even be someone else's teacher.
"How was it, Shirayuki? Did you understand?"
Her fingers elegantly pinched the teacup, her gentle purple eyes shimmering. Looking at the picture-perfect Dober, Shirayuki nodded blankly.
"Don't look at my face, look at my movements."
"Sorry," Shirayuki coughed awkwardly. "I just feel that Dober-nee is so beautiful. As expected of a young lady."
"Shirayuki... now is not the time to be discussing that."
Dober blushed slightly. She was very happy to be praised like this, and it gave her more motivation to teach her. But it would take a lot of time to change Shirayuki's carefree personality.
Before that, she had to spend some time every day cultivating her.
Now Shirayuki was her little sister and her language exchange teacher, while she was Shirayuki's older sister and her etiquette instructor. Their relationship had become completely intertwined.
After she had clumsily tried a few times, Dober couldn't help but laugh. Watching her had the tender feeling of watching a baby learn to walk. "How about this, let me help you feel it for yourself."
With that, Dober came up behind her and placed her hands on Shirayuki's, preparing to guide her through the motions.
Just as she took her hands, she suddenly felt a cold touch. Looking down, she saw that she was wearing a ring.
The silver ring was very close in color to her fair skin, making it difficult to see without looking closely.
Of course, there was nothing strange about a girl wearing a ring. Sometimes, rings could add a touch of beauty and virtue. But for some reason, Dober felt that something was wrong.
The ring was on her left ring finger!
That was the place for a wedding ring! Was Shirayuki married?!
At this thought, Dober's head felt as if it had been hit by a hammer. She almost lost her footing. An image suddenly appeared in her mind: Shirayuki bringing a strange man back to the dorm and introducing him to her, "Dober-neechan, this is my husband."
No—!
Just thinking about it made Dober almost break down.
Her little sister, her lovely little sister, had been taken away by some stray man who had appeared out of nowhere!
This was absolutely unacceptable!
Her mind short-circuited, and she cried out in a panic, "Shirayuki, you can't get married!"
"Huh?"
"Ah... no," realizing her gaffe, she steadied herself. "I mean, Shirayuki, why are you wearing a ring?"
Dober pointed to her hand. The silver ring had a hollow carving in the middle, clearly a custom-made piece.
"This? A friend of mine gave it to me. I thought it was pretty, so I put it on."
"A friend... not a b-boyfriend..." she stammered.
"No, no, no! Not a boyfriend! A female friend. I'm not interested in men."
Hearing the word 'boyfriend,' Shirayuki felt a chill.
Although she was a girl and a Horse Girl, both physiologically and psychologically, she could only accept women as her partners. She would absolutely not compromise on this point.
"I see..." Dober breathed a sigh of relief.
Thank goodness. Shirayuki wasn't interested in men.
...Hmm? Wait a minute.
Not interested in men?
She thought that's what she had just said.
Looking at the soft-bodied Shirayuki in her arms, Dober's gaze suddenly flickered.
If she wasn't interested in men, didn't that mean she liked... girls?
At this thought, Dober's mind was struck again.
Times were changing, society was progressing. Everyone had the freedom to choose their own sexual orientation. Girls liking girls was not something new.
But when it happened so close to her, Dober couldn't help but be shocked.
She, due to mental reasons, couldn't interact with men, while Shirayuki was not interested in men. In that case, their personalities were quite similar.
Androphobia and lesbianism, what a perfect logical chain. And she and Shirayuki were on the upper and lower rungs of this chain.
The soft touch of her skin on her fingers, the faint fragrance from her body in her nostrils... Dober suddenly felt that the white-haired girl before her was more attractive than ever before, firmly capturing her gaze.
"Dober-nee, what should I do next?"
Seeing her unresponsive for a long time, Shirayuki couldn't help but ask.
"Huh? Ah... I'll help you."
Snapping back to reality, Dober said nervously.
Just as she was about to take her hand again, she found that her own hand was trembling.
Not only that, but her originally calm heart had suddenly become chaotic. After learning that Shirayuki was a lesbian, her mind was about to go strange.
"Let me think... it should be... eek!"
Her hand was grabbed by Shirayuki instead.
"Dober-nee, you're trembling so much. What's wrong?" Noticing her condition, Shirayuki turned her head to ask.
Her arms and shoulders were shaking at an abnormal frequency, and her palms were sweating a lot.
The symptom was a bit like a tension-induced muscle spasm.
You should know that Shirayuki's job not only included changing her reticent personality, but also taking care of her physical health.
"Eh... I, I'm fine! Nothing's wrong..."
Looking at the beautiful face so close to her, Dober's brain felt like it was about to burn up.
Her sweet breath was even on her skin.
"Really? Are you really okay, Dober-nee? You're not pushing yourself, are you?"
Ever since Shirayuki had transferred to Tracen, she had seen her doing self-training until late at night. She was a little worried that she was too tired. If fatigue accumulated too much, it would be easy to get sick.
A senior had once reminded her that if she kept making a Horse Girl undergo high-intensity training, something irreversible might happen. It might not be apparent usually, but at a certain moment, the Horse Girl would suddenly collapse, and her physical condition would take a sharp downturn.
Their bodies were constantly accumulating fatigue, and when it reached a certain level, it would suddenly erupt.
At this moment, Dober gave her this feeling. Her body was trembling violently, and her face was terrifyingly hot. Seeing this, Shirayuki immediately grabbed her hand.
"Rest! Rest now! Come here, Dober-nee. I'll help you relax."
Taking her, Shirayuki walked towards the dorm room.
Looking at her stiff, almost immobile body, she couldn't help but quicken her pace.
I should have thought of it sooner.
Doing self-training every day for a month would definitely cause problems. Dober's body was already exhausted. And in this tired state, she had even made her accompany her for more than two hours of femininity practice.
At this thought, Shirayuki felt a great sense of guilt. Even if she wasn't a trainer, even if she was just an ordinary Tracen student, she had a responsibility to take care of her. This was her job, and also her duty as a junior.
Returning to the room, Shirayuki had her lie down on the bed.
Dober's head was hot. She had been in a daze since just now, unable to hear what she was saying clearly.
"Dober-nee, get on the bed."
"Get on the bed?! Shirayuki, isn't this a little too fast? Although I don't dislike you, this kind of thing should be gradual! At least let's start with a date!"
"A date?"
Dober shyly hugged the blanket and nodded.
"What are you talking about? I want to help you relax your body, massage your muscles. Why are you talking about a date?"
"..."
Eh?
"Your body is already exhausted, Dober-nee. If this continues, problems will arise soon. We must quickly get rid of the fatigue. In the future, try to reduce the number of self-training sessions. If you overwork yourself, it will be counterproductive."
Hearing her words, Dober blinked. A few seconds later, her face poof, completely boiled over.
She slowly turned around, lay face down on the bed, and covered her head with a pillow.
"I want to die..."
"Hmm?"
"I want to die! What's the point of me living anymore? You are a hundred times better than me, yet here I am, feeling happy because we are similar..."
Looking at the inexplicably self-loathing Dober, Shirayuki called her name. As if she were really dead, Dober lay motionless on the bed.
What is she doing?
Oh well, whatever. The important thing now was to adjust her stiff muscles. From the looks of it, it should be the initial stage of the symptom.
"Dober-nee, I'm starting. Tell me if it's uncomfortable."
The other girl still didn't move. Shirayuki reached out and pressed on her waist.
According to common sense, the places where a Horse Girl easily accumulates fatigue are the thighs and the soles of the feet. But in fact, their upper body should not be neglected either.
During running, a Horse Girl's waist also exerts continuous force. Over time, it will cause severe muscle pain.
Seeing her stiff body just now, it seemed there was also a problem with her waist, so Shirayuki decided to start there.
Her hands moved over Dober's slender and soft waist. This posture made her mind constantly fill with various lewd thoughts, but the ring on her finger reminded her that she was Fujiwara Shirayuki.
Since she was Shirayuki, she had to do what Shirayuki should do. A real Horse Girl's mind wouldn't be filled with messy things!
She shook her head and forced herself to concentrate.
Every time her palm passed over the other's back, Dober's body would tremble slightly.
As expected, she's exhausted.
She would feel pain even with such a small amount of force.
Just wait, Dober-nee. I will definitely make you comfortable!
Shirayuki's gaze became firm. Recalling her knowledge about Horse Girls, she searched for the acupoints on the other's body that could invigorate the muscles and blood, measured them accurately with her fingers, and then pressed on them.
During this time, Dober kept letting out soft cries.
Her breathing became heavier and heavier.
She had already been reminded beforehand to tell her if it was uncomfortable. Since the other had not said anything, it meant she could continue.
"Dober-nee, next is the thighs."
Hearing her voice, Dober nodded slightly under the pillow.
After getting her consent, Shirayuki knelt on the bed. She clasped her hands together and clamped Dober's thigh between them.
Normally, the more a Horse Girl trains, the softer her muscles become. When not exerting force, their thighs are in a completely relaxed state, feeling like cotton when touched. But when she clamped the other's leg, it felt like clamping a piece of iron, incredibly hard.
Her body was actually tense!
Is it that painful?
When Chiya was massaged by Rice Shower, he had been very comfortable. Even if it was a little uncomfortable at first, after it warmed up, the strange feeling would disappear.
It was just that the bed that day was too hard, which made him a little uncomfortable.
"Dober-nee, relax."
Shirayuki gently rubbed the other's leg, trying to get her to relax her body. However, Dober trembled even more violently.
"Dober-nee?"
Looking at the brown-haired girl who seemed to be desperately suppressing something, Shirayuki reminded her.
"...I know," Dober said in a small voice. A few seconds later, her legs gradually relaxed, and her muscles slowly softened.
That's right. This was the normal touch of a Horse Girl.
The girl stroked the soft thigh that seemed to be able to suck her fingers in.
"How does it feel..."
Shirayuki took a breath and asked her.
"Very... good," her voice came from under the pillow.
"Then there's only one last place left."
Shirayuki looked at the other's foot.
"Can you take off your socks, Dober-nee?"
"S-socks..."
Hearing this, Dober put down the pillow and looked up.
Her face was flushed, her forehead covered in glistening sweat. Her slightly messy hair was stuck to her lips, looking as if she had just engaged in strenuous exercise.
"Should I take them off? I see. Then..." Suddenly, an image of Chiya massaging Shirayuki's feet appeared in her mind. The pair of feet, as holy as white jade, were something she could never forget.
She hadn't felt anything when she saw it at the time, but now, she was suddenly a little jealous of him.
The thought of him being able to freely touch Shirayuki's feet made her heart race.
She felt a strange sense of possessiveness towards her.
"Shirayuki, can you take them off for me?" Dober said slowly, her beautiful purple eyes looking at her.
"I understand. Leave it to me."
Shirayuki pulled off the other's long socks, revealing the pair of pink and round feet.
There was a sticky feeling on the soles of her feet, probably due to the sweat from earlier.
Come to think of it, it was because of this that she had gotten to know her. A month later, it was Dober's turn.
Shirayuki kneaded her toes. A pleasant lavender scent wafted into her nostrils.
They are all feet, so why does Rice Shower's smell like milk, Dober's like flowers, and mine like sweat?
Are there different varieties?
Or is it because I just finished running?
Hmm...
I'll change to a pair of more breathable shoes in the future, she thought to herself.
After the massage was finished, Dober sat up. Her eyes had a misty look.
"Shirayuki," she exhaled a hot breath. "The family gathering on Sunday, can you come with me?"
