The summer sunlight pours down on the school building walls,
the grounds, my clothes... bouncing off every surface on
this clear day.

Despite the clear skies, the air is heavy with the unique
humidity of midsummer, making it stiflingly hot.

Even just standing still, beads of sweat run from my
forehead to my chin, from my neck down my body, soaking into
my clothes.


***BGround_BG03_01






I work as a live-in janitor at a school in a rural town
nestled in the mountains. Having been born and raised here,
this is my alma mater.

Now, with fewer students than when I attended, the school
has gathered students of various ages to avoid closure,
operating as a unified school.

When you hear of a rural town in the mountains, you might
think it's lush, cool, and more comfortable in summer
compared to bustling cities, despite its inconveniences.

...But that's not the case at all. While it's true there's
plenty of nature, it's not some remote area completely
surrounded by mountains.

The mountains are visible in the distance, with flat lands
dotted with houses and fields. There's also a somewhat old
but new residential area. Only the area around the station
is a bit lively.

There's no entertainment district, and it takes well over an
hour to reach the city, even if you hurry.

In such a place, a certain closed-off nature inevitably
arises, fitting the local character, and it's still very
much alive in this era.

There's nothing special about it. It's just like any other,
the most common type of 'countryside' in this country.

Being a janitor in such a place is unbearably boring.


***BGround_BG00_01

Moreover, it's the peak of summer. That means the school is
on summer break. At least there are hardly any female
students around to look at for some consolation.

I tried pulling out summer weeds until I was drenched in
sweat, thinking to take a breather in the shade, but instead
of catching my breath, I just felt more dehydrated.

Protagonist
『No wonder that old man collapsed.』


***SELoop_FadeOut
***BGround_BG99_01
***SE_footsteps_Asphalt_Trainers_Walk_Slow_x8_loop_mono

I start walking back to my room... that is, the janitor's
room, which is significantly cooler than outside.

To avoid the sun as much as possible, I decide to cut
through the school building.




***BGround_BG06_01
***BGM_夏空、静寂、蝉しぐれ
***SELoop_se_COCicadasILS2R_48khz_24bit_購入済み{45}

I walk down the hallway, which has the unique atmosphere of
being mostly devoid of students during the break. It's
somewhat cooler than outside.

The old man had been the janitor since my student days. He
must be quite old. He fell ill at the start of summer...

He went on a leave for recovery, and I temporarily filled
his position.

I only became a janitor a few days ago, and since it's a
temporary position, it's not much different from being a
part-timer.

Protagonist
『This kind of job is the most comfortable.』

I've never been able to hold down a job for long.

It's not that I quit after conflicts or get fired for
incompetence, but I just get bored and lose interest in
whatever I do.

It's not the kind of boredom that skilled people feel after
mastering something; it's just that things become
uninteresting and increasingly tedious.

Once I get somewhat good at something, I start noticing
inefficiencies and various flaws. But I lack the energy or
ability to fix them.

As a result, I just get fed up. The little patience and
endurance I had originally just die out.

Once that happens, it's only a matter of time before I quit
or just disappear.

Protagonist
『It was the same with club activities...』

***SE_School Playground with Movement_1_re

I turned my gaze towards the direction of the club activity
sounds coming from outside.

I'm aware that I'm not particularly efficient. That's why
it's easier to just hop from one job to another, as long as
I can make ends meet.

I can't understand why people become corporate slaves when
they don't even get paid that much. I often wonder how they
manage it.

My parents found me a job without asking, and I was sent off
with a bit of money,

kicked out of my family home to the city to stand on my own
two feet...

But none of the jobs worked out, and I ended up spending my
days off and free time gambling and visiting brothels, which
drained my living expenses.

This job pays poorly, which is disappointing, but since it's
summer vacation, it's not too busy, and I can slack off,
which I'm grateful for.

Thanks to living on-site, I can stay away from my family,
who would otherwise nag me about not having a steady job at
this age... or rather,

mainly, I can stay away from my noisy older sister at my
family home.

...Well, after returning to my room and resting until the
sweat dries, what should I do next...

？？？(CH01_0000)
『Ah! Hello, mister.』


***Flash_In_Black


A voice clearly directed at me echoes from behind, and I
turn around.



***ST_オトハ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目デフォ_口微笑_赤み03_中央


？？？(CH01_0001)
『...Were you busy?』


I'm surprised.

A beautiful girl stands there, as clear as crystal.

She shines even more brightly than the white linoleum floor
reflecting the sunlight.

In one word, she's pure. And despite her delicate
appearance, there's no harshness about her.

On the contrary, she seems very gentle, perhaps because of
the softness in her gaze.

...This atmosphere and voice suddenly remind me of someone.

Protagonist
『Hey, Otoha-chan... right?』

I was so captivated that I hurriedly call out to confirm.

***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口微笑_赤み02_中央


小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0002)
『Yeah, it's Otoha. Did you not recognize me...?』


I didn't expect her to be at school today.

This girl is Takanashi Otoha.

I know her name, albeit uncertainly, because she's my niece.

Protagonist
『It's been a really long time since we last met,
so I wasn't sure. I heard you were back here, though.』

***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口微笑_赤み02_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0003)
『The last time we met, I was still really little.』


Protagonist
『That's true. But you still look the same.』

***ST_オトハ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目大笑い_口微笑_赤み03_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0004)
『Hehe. I'm glad you recognized me.』


***ST_オトハ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目デフォ_口微笑_赤み02_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0005)
『Uncle. Just like I heard, you're working here as a janitor,
right?』


Protagonist
『Yeah. Otoha-chan... it seems like you've been
through a lot, but have you been doing okay?』

***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目デフォ_口微笑_赤み03_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0006)
『Yeah, I'm doing okay. And I didn't expect to meet you
today...』


***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目大笑い_口大笑い_赤み03_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0007)
『I'm so happy, it's given me energy.』


I can't believe such an honest and earnest girl was born
from that nagging sister of mine.

Having played with her when she was little, I know Otoha-
chan well.

Protagonist
『Seeing you like this, you've grown so much.』

***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目微笑_口微笑_赤み02_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0008)
『Hehe, it's been five years since we last met.』


Her shy yet proud smile, typical of a girl in her growth
period, is adorable.

***ST_オトハ_C2_デフォ(着衣)_目微笑_口微笑_赤み02_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0009)
『I've grown taller, right?』


My eyes were drawn to other growth areas as well. Could five
years really change a girl like this...?

Her chest, more pronounced than before. Her skeletal frame
gradually taking on a more rounded shape, the contours of
her body.

Her overall fleshiness has a certain softness to it, and
while her childishness hasn't completely faded,

there's a faint scent of womanliness beginning to emerge.
That ambiguous feeling is strangely alluring.

***ST_オトハ_C2_デフォ(着衣)_目大笑い_口微笑_赤み02_中央

Her hair, bursting with youth, has an unparalleled sheen,
creating a halo of light.

And her skin, not just the beads of sweat, seems to repel
every drop of moisture, so firm and fine-textured.

I want to feel that texture with my own hands, to caress it
all over.

...I never expected to feel such desire for my niece upon
our reunion after so long.

Even though she's my niece, I honestly want to hold her.

***ST_オトハ_C1_デフォ(着衣)_目驚き_口無表情_赤み02_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0010)
『Uncle...?』


Because I kept staring at her body, Otoha-chan started
speaking with a troubled look.

***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口微笑_赤み03_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0011)
『Is this uniform bothering you...?』


Protagonist
『Huh...?』

It seems she's thinking about something different from what
I was.

***ST_オトハ_C3_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口微笑_赤み03_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0012)
『This uniform is from my previous school. This school
doesn't have sailor uniforms, right?』


Protagonist
『Ah, yeah. That's right. It's summer now, so
short-sleeved shirts are more common.』

A bit taken aback by her innocent thoughts, my reply came
out with a strange urgency.

Luckily, it seems she didn't notice that I was looking at my
own niece in a sexual way.

***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目デフォ_口微笑_赤み02_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0013)
『When I went to buy the uniform here yesterday, they said
they were out of my size.』


***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口無表情_赤み02_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0014)
『It seems it'll take a while for new stock to arrive...』


小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0015)
『So for the time being, I'll have to keep wearing this
uniform. The school said it's okay, so it's fine...』


While Otoha-chan was troubled, I was excited by the
unexpected fortune of being able to see a girl in a sailor
uniform for a while longer.

Protagonist
『That's tough... But I think Otoha-chan would
look good in either a sailor uniform or this school's
uniform.』

***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目微笑_口微笑_赤み04_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0016)
『Ah, thank you... But even though there are fewer people
during summer break, it still makes me stand out a bit.』


Her shyness is also incredibly appealing.

If I don't consciously hold back, I might not be able to
stop fantasizing about using Otoha-chan in front of me as
material.

If I slip up, it'll be troublesome. I need to change the
subject...

Protagonist
『Oh yeah, Otoha-chan, you just came back to this
town yesterday, right? Your sister came here first.』

***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目デフォ_口微笑_赤み04_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0017)
『That's right. My mom came here first and took care of
moving and my school transfer procedures.』


Otoha-chan had moved to this town.

Not just moved here, but to be precise, she had moved away
once and then returned.

Protagonist
『It must be lonely being separated from the
friends you made there. If it's okay with you, I can listen
to your stories.』

I propose this out of concern for my niece... or rather,
with ulterior motives.

***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目デフォ_口微笑_赤み02_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0018)
『No, it's okay.』


***ST_オトハ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口微笑_赤み02_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0019)
『Over there, everyone was just focused on entrance exams, so
I don't have many fun memories.』


Unaware of the lustful gaze upon her, Otoha-chan fidgeted
slightly with her legs, perhaps to divert her own emotions.

The soft-looking fat covering her deer-like legs seemed to
be inviting me.

Protagonist
『I see.』

While suppressing my rising desires, I recall Otoha-chan's
circumstances.

Otoha-chan's parents... that is, my sister and her father,
my brother-in-law, are known in the neighborhood for being

extremely enthusiastic about education. Enthusiastic is
putting it mildly... to be honest, they're off the rails.

Under the influence of her overbearing parents, Otoha-chan
was aimed at prestigious schools from an early age, which
led to their move.

The fact that they returned means she failed the entrance
exams.

That's not the only reason, but my prideful sister doesn't
talk about the details.

***ST_オトハ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口無表情_赤み01_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0020)
『Sorry. Even though I'm with you, uncle, I ended up making
things gloomy...』


Protagonist
『No. I've known since long ago that Otoha-chan
has had it tough but still works hard. It's okay.』

***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目微笑_口微笑_赤み03_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0021)
『Thank you, uncle.』


When she replies with genuine happiness, I can't help but
feel even more aroused.

She was always somewhat attractive, but honestly, I didn't
expect her to grow up to be this cute and alluring.

***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目デフォ_口微笑_赤み03_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0022)
『Oh, and by the way. The pace of classes at my old school
and this one is different... So I decided to attend
supplementary classes during summer break.』


Protagonist
『It's tough when everyone else is on vacation.』

***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目大笑い_口微笑_赤み03_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0023)
『But studying is important.』


I really think so. When it comes to Otoha-chan, I have this
image of her always studying.

No matter how one lives, the body matures with age. Thinking
that Otoha-chan is now at that stage...

I feel a unique lewdness and allure that isn't present in
fully matured bodies, and I can't help but look away again.

Protagonist
『Otoha-chan is as serious as ever.』

Even as I say that, I can tell that I'm half distracted by
lust.

Even in the red-light district, you can't play with someone
as young and fresh as her, no matter how much you pay.

***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目デフォ_口微笑_赤み02_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0024)
『I'm about to go talk to the teacher about various things,
including the supplementary classes.』


***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目微笑_口微笑_赤み04_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0025)
『I was feeling lonely because I didn't know anyone, but
knowing that you're at the school makes me feel a bit
reassured.』


Even five years ago, when we were together, I would
occasionally pretend to stroke her and touch risky places
because I craved human warmth...

But I never saw her as a woman or wanted to touch her like
this.

If she's coming to school during summer break... there might
be some opportunities.

After all, Otoha-chan is attached to me.

***SELoop_FadeOut

？？？(CH03_0000)
『Otoha! You were here?』


***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目驚き_口驚き_赤み00_中央




A voice I dislike, one that instantly wakes me up, echoes
through the hallway.

Behind Otoha-chan, a familiar figure stood a short distance
away.



***SE_ヒール足音Footstep_Concrete_HighHeels

It approaches with footsteps getting closer and closer.

***ST_オトハ_A2_デフォ(着衣)_目困り_口困り_赤み02_中央

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0026)
『Ah, mom...』

『I don't mind you going to school first, but didn't I tell
you to wait near the staff room?』


小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0027)
『S-sorry...』


***ST_オトハ_A2_デフォ(着衣)_目困り_口つぐみ_赤み02_画面外
***ST_レイコ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目睨み_口への字_赤み01_中央

This is my sister... Takanashi Reiko.

The silence of the hallway makes her high-handed voice even
more grating as it reverberates.

***ST_オトハ_A2_デフォ(着衣)_目困り_口つぐみ_赤み02_左１
***ST_レイコ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目睨み_口無表情_赤み01_右１

小鳥遊 麗子(CH03_0002)
『Were you keeping track of time?』


小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0028)
『Y-yes... but I didn't think you'd come this early.』


***ST_レイコ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口への字_赤み01_右１

小鳥遊 麗子(CH03_0003)
『That's something you should expect. Acting ahead of time is
common sense, right? It was good that I came early because I
couldn't find you.』


After finishing her scolding to the shrinking Otoha-chan,
she sharply turns her gaze towards me.

***ST_レイコ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目怒り_口への字_赤み01_右１

小鳥遊 麗子(CH03_0004)
『Hey, you. Aren't you supposed to be working?』


Protagonist
『...Yeah.』

I don't want to engage. It's definitely going to be
troublesome or just make me feel bad.

***ST_レイコ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目睨み_口への字_赤み01_右１

小鳥遊 麗子(CH03_0005)
『Is it your job to keep Otoha here and make small talk?』


Protagonist
『.........』

Why is it that Reiko-neesan... this bitch always spits
nothing but sarcasm from her mouth.

With just a single word, she can thoroughly disgust someone.

***ST_オトハ_A2_デフォ(着衣)_目困り_口困り_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0029)
『U-um, mom, it's not that the uncle kept me here... I was
the one who found him and started talking...』


小鳥遊 麗子(CH03_0006)
『Even so, standing around chatting and neglecting your work
is the responsibility of the adult who didn't refuse,
right?』


***ST_オトハ_A2_デフォ(着衣)_目困り_口つぐみ_赤み02_左１

......

It's not just because Otoha-chan failed her exams that she
and Reiko-neesan returned to this town.

No matter how much the person involved doesn't want to talk
about it, as family, there are things you inevitably find
out and can't hide.

I clearly know that Reiko-neesan came back after getting a
divorce.

She probably blamed her brother-in-law for her exam failure,
leading to a huge fight...

And in the end, she must have been served with divorce
papers.

If it were me, no matter how good-looking she is, I wouldn't
want to marry a woman with such a personality.

***ST_レイコ_A3_デフォ(着衣)_目困り_口への字_赤み01_右１

小鳥遊 麗子(CH03_0007)
『You should also stop being silent and get back to work,
don't you think?』


小鳥遊 麗子(CH03_0008)
『Your mother went out of her way to find a job you could do
and set it up for you, right?』


...Indeed, this job was found by my mother.

It's true that I got this job through connections, knowing
the ropes at my alma mater and being a Takanashi.

But I never asked her to find me a job.

小鳥遊 麗子(CH03_0009)
『At least do it properly. Honestly...』


小鳥遊 麗子(CH03_0010)
『At your age, jumping from job to job... Don't you have any
sense of responsibility or urgency?』


With me staying silent, Otoha-chan is also at a loss and
remains quiet.

Reiko-neesan doesn't even notice this atmosphere, let alone
try to do something about it.

Protagonist
『...You're so noisy.』

***ST_レイコ_B1_デフォ(着衣)_目怒り_口への字_赤み02_右１

小鳥遊 麗子(CH03_0011)
『What did you say?』


I accidentally let it slip. Or rather, I reached my limit.

Protagonist
『I mean your voice is too loud, Reiko-neesan.
Tch... Is nagging all you're good at?』

小鳥遊 麗子(CH03_0012)
『What are you mumbling at the end? If you have something to
say, why don't you say it clearly till the end?』


Even though I reached my limit, once she starts, Reiko-
neesan doesn't stop easily. ...I really shouldn't have said
anything.

小鳥遊 麗子(CH03_0013)
『I'm doing this for your own good... and to prevent further
disgrace to the Takanashi name.』


***ST_オトハ_C1_デフォ(着衣)_目困り_口困り_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0030)
『M-mom...』


***ST_オトハ_C1_デフォ(着衣)_目困り_口つぐみ_赤み02_左１

Disgrace or not... does she think that coming back after a
divorce isn't a disgrace to the family?

Once I start thinking about it, my irritation grows again.
...But seeing Otoha-chan shrinking back, I shake off the
thought.

Let's try to calm the situation down a bit.

Protagonist
『...Anyway, Reiko-neesan, you must have come
here for a reason, right?』

***ST_レイコ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目睨み_口への字_赤み01_右１

小鳥遊 麗子(CH03_0014)
『Of course. After the meeting with the homeroom teacher, I
have PTA president duties.』


Her tone, as if she had earned the position through her own
efforts, almost made me laugh.

...As if it's any different from me getting this job through
connections.

My family, the Takanashi family, is considered prestigious
in this town. But only in this town.

That gives us some influence. It's just another small-town
thing. It's really tiresome.

Even though Reiko-neesan is recognized by everyone as an
honor student and a proud alumna,

it's not like someone who just returned after several years
can suddenly become PTA president outside of the usual
rotation.

She hasn't changed in not noticing these things.

***ST_レイコ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目睨み_口無表情_赤み01_右１

小鳥遊 麗子(CH03_0015)
『That's why, unlike you, I'm busy.』


She's still as talkative as ever.

town, is being the PTA president really that great?』

『!!』


小鳥遊 麗子(CH03_0017)

***ST_レイコ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目睨み_口無表情_赤み01_右１

『...Y-yes... I'm sorry...』

『You quit your job and came back immediately, and I know you

***ST_レイコ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目怒り_口無表情_赤み02_右１

小鳥遊 麗子(CH03_0020)
『At least I'm working hard as a Takanashi to make up for the
disgraceful eldest son. What about you?』


Protagonist
『Reiko-neesan, you keep bringing up the
Takanashi name... You're scaring Otoha-chan!』

My voice rose at the end seeing Otoha-chan on the verge of
tears. Perhaps realizing this, Reiko-neesan's attack paused.

***ST_レイコ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口無表情_赤み01_右１

She looked somewhat guilty, her eyes darting around. She
does seem like a mother, after all.

***ST_レイコ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目睨み_口への字_赤み01_右１

小鳥遊 麗子(CH03_0021)
『...Anyway, if you slack off on this job, I'll hear about
it. If you embarrass me, I won't forgive you.』


小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0033)
『Mom, time... We're really going to be late for the
meeting... And uncle has work too...』


Sensing Reiko-neesan's momentum weakening, Otoha-chan
mustered her voice.

It was like this five years ago too...

Me, being criticized for being the eldest son of the
Takanashi family, and Otoha-chan,

who as the daughter of Reiko-neesan, the pride of the
Takanashi family, had to maintain her honor student status
and always achieve excellent grades, or else she would be
severely scolded.

Despite our differences in gender and age, we shared a
certain sense of camaraderie.

Our common enemy was this Reiko-neesan.

...That said, Otoha-chan doesn't hate Reiko-neesan, she's
just not good with her.

After throwing out those parting words, she walked off
without even looking back.

***SELoop_se_COCicadasILS2R_48khz_24bit_購入済み{45}

Far from feeling relieved, I felt really bad. That's why I
dislike her...

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0034)
『U-uncle... I'm sorry... Mom said such harsh things...』

...It makes me wonder if Otoha-chan is really Reiko-neesan's
child, she's so gentle and kind.

She left, looking back at me several times.

Seeing off the cute and kind Otoha-chan calmed down the
irritation I had been feeling.

That said, even a fleeting thought of Reiko-neesan's face
makes my anger boil up again.

I'm also tired from the work outside. Anyway, I'll just go
back to the janitor's room and take a short nap.

But... before that, maybe I should relieve this sexual
arousal that Otoha-chan stirred up by jerking off.

By the time I wake up, the sun should be setting, and it

I woke up and sat up. It seems to be evening. Maybe I slept
a bit too long.

The room feels a bit stuffy and smells like semen. Just that
alone makes me feel irritated, even though I should feel
refreshed after sleeping.


***SE_引き戸_窓_Sliding Door Close

It'll just get hotter, but I'll air out the room and quickly
get back to my chores and rounds.

At this time, the voices from club activities that I could
hear earlier are no longer audible. They must have packed
up.

The lack of people is the same as during the day, only the
sound of cicadas has changed to that of the evening.

***BGM_夏空、静寂、蝉しぐれ

After walking a bit, I heard the voices of female students
talking.

Ahead... two people. They're walking closer...

That's...

***ST_オトハ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目大笑い_口微笑_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0040)
『Ah... uncle!』


Otoha-chan noticed me and her face lit up.

Drawn by her voice, the other figure turned towards us. Upon
seeing me, her eyes widened.

***ST_リノ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目驚き_口困り_赤み02_右１

？？？(CH02_0000)
『Huh!?』


***ST_オトハ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目大笑_口微笑_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0041)
『Uncle, look, it's Rino-chan! We just happened to meet
here!』


***ST_リノ_C1_デフォ(着衣)_目困り_口無表情_赤み02_右１

??? ………

In contrast to the lively Otoha-chan, the girl next to her
fell silent upon noticing me.

***ST_オトハ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目大笑_口微笑_赤み02_画面外
***ST_リノ_C1_デフォ(着衣)_目困り_口無表情_赤み02_中央

As Otoha-chan introduced, the girl who became silent next to
her is her childhood friend, Akatsuki Rino.

***ST_オトハ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目大笑_口微笑_赤み02_左１

『I had told Rino-chan that I was coming back, but we hadn't
made plans to meet yet...』


***ST_オトハ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目大笑_口微笑_赤み04_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0043)
『And I met uncle for the first time today too... hehe, I
feel like today is really lucky.』


Akatsuki Rino ………

***ST_オトハ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目大笑_口微笑_赤み02_左１

Just as I was surprised when I met Otoha-chan, and Rino-chan
widened her eyes upon seeing me,

I was also inwardly surprised that she was here.

...That said, this school is a continuous education
institution, so it wouldn't be strange for Rino-chan to have
advanced here.

***ST_オトハ_A2_デフォ(着衣)_目驚き_口驚き_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0044)
『Oh, could it be that it's been a while since Rino-chan met
uncle too?』


***ST_オトハ_A2_デフォ(着衣)_目デフォ_口微笑_赤み02_左１

暁 莉乃(CH02_0001)
『Ah, yeah, it has... It's been a while since I met uncle.
But why are you in a place like this...』


***ST_オトハ_A2_デフォ(着衣)_目大笑い_口微笑_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0045)
『That's because uncle became the janitor at this school. And
just recently too.』


***ST_リノ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目困り_口無表情_赤み02_右１

暁 莉乃(CH02_0002)
『...Oh, really? I didn't know that.』


Otoha-chan, who is usually quiet, was unusually lively and
beckoned me over.

This was in stark contrast to Rino-chan's demeanor.

***ST_オトハ_C1_デフォ(着衣)_目驚き_口無表情_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0046)
『Rino-chan, is something wrong?』


暁 莉乃(CH02_0003)
『No, nothing's wrong. I'm just still a bit surprised...』



***ST_オトハ_C1_デフォ(着衣)_目大笑い_口微笑_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0047)
『Really, it's quite a surprise, isn't it? What a
coincidence! Being together like this reminds me of the old
days.』


***ST_リノ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目困り_口微笑_赤み02_右１

暁 莉乃(CH02_0004)
『Y-yeah.』


...I understand why Otoha-chan is so lively.

***ST_オトハ_C1_デフォ(着衣)_目大笑_口微笑_赤み02_左１

Rino-chan is, you could say, Otoha-chan's only friend.

Because Reiko-nee-san prioritized studies above all else,
Otoha-chan had almost no friends, even though she was local.

Among such circumstances, the one who persistently invited
her to play and checked on her since they were little is
this Rino-chan.

***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目微笑_口微笑_赤み03_左１

She's a bit older than Otoha-chan, but she's bright, active,
and a caring girl, just like an older sister.

She often took care of the two of them in place of Reiko-
nee-san, who was always busy.

I remember Rino-chan leading the timid Otoha-chan by the
hand into new games and discovered playgrounds.

Because of such things, I've known Rino-chan well since long
ago.

『'It's been a while...'』


***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目デフォ_口困り_赤み02_左１

'...?'

Otoha-chan looks at Rino-chan's face with a puzzled
expression.

***ST_リノ_B2_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口微笑_赤み02_右１

暁 莉乃(CH02_0006)
『'It's been a while, so it's natural for me to be a bit
nervous.'』


***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目デフォ_口微笑_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0048)
『'Hmm... I see. Hmm... That's right. I got a bit too
excited.'』


***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目大笑い_口微笑_赤み02_左１

Otoha-chan continues speaking in a voice that sounds both
happy and complex.

***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目微笑_口微笑_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0049)
『'Oh, right, uncle, Rino-chan joined the rhythmic gymnastics
club. Isn't that amazing?'』


***ST_リノ_A2_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口困り_赤み02_右１

暁 莉乃(CH02_0007)
『'Oh, Otoha...'』


***ST_リノ_A2_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口微笑_赤み02_右１

Protagonist
『'Huh. Rino-chan is into rhythmic gymnastics,
huh?'』

暁 莉乃(CH02_0008)
『'Y-yeah...'』


Hearing about rhythmic gymnastics, the image of her in a
leotard immediately comes to mind.

Thinking of Rino-chan wearing that tight, revealing outfit
that clings to her body lines,

My gaze naturally drifts to Rino-chan's body, as if
appraising it.

***ST_リノ_C1_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口微笑_赤み03_右１

Compared to Otoha-chan, her body has a more mature, womanly
roundness. And it's nicely toned.

This girl has grown into quite a desirable body shape.

...But if I keep staring too much, I'll be lost in thought.
I should listen to their conversation now.

***ST_オトハ_A2_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口微笑_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0050)
『'I didn't join any clubs at my previous school, so I'm a
bit envious.'』


***ST_リノ_B1_デフォ(着衣)_目デフォ_口微笑_赤み02_右１

暁 莉乃(CH02_0009)
『'Otoha. Why don't you come watch the club next time?'』


***ST_オトハ_A2_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口微笑_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0051)
『'Yeah. But, I'm not good at sports... I don't think I could
do rhythmic gymnastics.'』


***ST_リノ_B1_デフォ(着衣)_目大笑い_口微笑_赤み02_右１

暁 莉乃(CH02_0010)
『'I couldn't do anything when I first started either.
Everyone starts like that, why not give it a try?'』


***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口微笑_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0052)
『'Y-yeah. That's right. If my mom allows it, I might think
about it.'』


***ST_リノ_B1_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口デフォ_赤み02_右１

暁 莉乃(CH02_0011)
『'Ah, right. I just remembered. Otoha's mom is strict, isn't
she?'』


***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口無表情_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0053)
『U-un... I'm sorry I can't give you a clear answer even
though you went out of your way to invite me.』


***ST_リノ_B2_デフォ(着衣)_目微笑_口微笑_赤み02_右１

暁 莉乃(CH02_0012)
『No, no. You don't have to apologize. I've known Otoha for a
long time, after all.』


***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目大笑い_口微笑_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0054)
『...Thank you. Rino-chan, you're so kind.』


Listening to their conversation, I recall their childhood
appearances, and it seems like nothing has changed since
before we were separated.

***ST_オトハ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目デフォ_口微笑_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0055)
『By the way, did you still hang out with your uncle for a
while after I moved?』


***ST_リノ_B2_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口微笑_赤み02_右１

暁 莉乃(CH02_0013)
『...Hmm, something like that, I guess.』


***ST_オトハ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目微笑_口微笑_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0056)
『Then, even after I was gone, did you still go to the park
where we all used to gather?』


***ST_リノ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目デフォ_口無表情_赤み02_右１

暁 莉乃(CH02_0014)
『Yeah, well... But it's been five years, so I don't really
remember much anymore.』


***ST_オトハ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口微笑_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0057)
『Ah... r-right. ...It's from a long time ago, huh.』


***ST_リノ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口無表情_赤み02_右１

暁 莉乃(CH02_0015)
『Yeah.』


***ST_オトハ_A1_デフォ(着衣)_目悲しい・テレ_口デフォ_赤み02_左１

...

.........

An atmosphere flows that's hard to believe these two were
just talking lively moments ago.

Otoha-chan looks back and forth between me and Rino-chan...
still unsure of what to say.

***ST_リノ_B2_デフォ(着衣)_目デフォ_口微笑_赤み02_右１

暁 莉乃(CH02_0016)
『........Oh right, Otoha. You were curious about the pool,
weren't you?』


***ST_オトハ_A3_デフォ(着衣)_目デフォ_口微笑_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0058)
『Yeah. My previous school was all about studying, so we
didn't even have swimming classes.』


***ST_リノ_B2_デフォ(着衣)_目微笑_口微笑_赤み02_右１

暁 莉乃(CH02_0017)
『Is that so. Here, during summer vacation, you can use the
pool freely except when the swimming club is using it...』


Hearing about the pool, I imagined these two in swimsuits.

I became a janitor after the school went on break. I've
never seen the pool being used during classes.

When the swimming club uses it, there's a supervising
teacher. But if non-members can use it freely, maybe I can
see these two in swimsuits then...

This is something to look forward to.

***ST_リノ_B2_デフォ(着衣)_目睨み_口無表情_赤み02_右１

........

As if seeing through my thoughts, Rino-chan suddenly looks
up at me.

Protagonist
『W-what's up?』

***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目驚き_口無表情_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0059)
『Rino-chan...?』


........

***ST_リノ_D1_デフォ(着衣)_目デフォ_口微笑_赤み02_右１

暁 莉乃(CH02_0018)
『Otoha, I'll show you how to fill out the pool usage
application form over there.』


小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0060)
『Huh...』


Suddenly, her arm is taken, and Otoha-chan stumbles.

暁 莉乃(CH02_0019)
『Let's go.』


***ST_リノ_D1_デフォ(着衣)_目デフォ_口微笑_赤み02_画面外



***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目驚き_口焦り_赤み02_左１

小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0061)
『Ah, um... o-okay.』


小鳥遊 乙羽(CH01_0062)
『S-see you later, mister.』


***ST_オトハ_B3_デフォ(着衣)_目驚き_口焦り_赤み02_画面外


***SE_走り去る足音_concrete normal_running_Mix



With a face that couldn't read the situation, Otoha-chan was
taken away.

The two of them quickly moved away.

...I started walking aimlessly again.

***SE_footsteps_asphalt_trainers_walk_slow_x8_loop_mono

I'll probably see Otoha-chan when I come for the
supplementary lessons.

The nagging Reiko-nee-san doesn't come every day. Even if I
see her, I'll avoid her before she can talk to me.

And then, Rino-chan. I'll probably see her too. I found out
she's active in the rhythmic gymnastics club.

There's a lot to gain from this unexpected reunion.

Today, I'll quickly finish the miscellaneous tasks and think
about where to go tomorrow, aiming for places where I might
meet them.

I can have great expectations for the boring days I had
resigned myself to, thinking it was just summer vacation.

***FadeIn_InSide_Black



If it's this twilight, tomorrow will probably be sunny and
hot again. The peak of summer is yet to come.
