"Miss, I'll go prepare dinner so you can entertain our guests."
Mei said, disappearing down the hallway.
...It feels strange to use the expression "at the end of the hallway" in a private residence, but that's actually the case. No matter how many times I see it, the Hoshimiya residence is amazing.
I stepped inside and was guided to a room on the first floor.
Behind the double doors appears to be a private room.
"Yohei-kun, please come in."
Come to think of it, this is the first time I've ever been into a girl's room, and as I stood there thinking about it, Hime pulled me by the hand.
It's a little ticklish when those little fingers hold it. Of course, the grip is weak, so if I wanted to shake it off, it would be easy, but there's no way I'd do that.
Hime seems to be in high spirits.
He seemed very happy that I was home.
"This is our room."
"Oh, I see... it's spacious."
With Hime still holding my hand, I take a quick look around the room.
It was probably several times larger than my room. There was a round table, two desks, a sofa, and a TV. Even with all that furniture, there was still plenty of room to spare, and in the center of the room sat a large, canopy-topped bed.
Yeah...that's definitely true.
"Could this be Hime and Hijiri's room?"
"Yes. It's a room we share."
"It's spacious, right? The bed is big and extremely comfortable."
Even for a double room, it's too big. I understand that there is plenty of space.
But, how should I put it... it's such a big mansion. If I wanted to have my own room, it would be easy to get one.
And yet, the two of them are using the same room.
(The Hoshimiya sisters really do get along well.)
I knew this from seeing what was going on at school, but it really hit home for me.
Maybe the bond between the two of them is deeper than I had imagined.
"I even have a huggable pillow called Hime-chan. Ufufu, is there any other sleeping environment that's as good as this? No, there isn't. That's why I always sleep so soundly."
"...Well, it may be comfortable for you to sleep, but I have a bad sleeping posture so it's not so comfortable for me."
"Hime-chan?! It's not that bad."
"I'm sorry. Really... I'm such a helpless big sister."
It's like we're together even when we're sleeping.
Hime and Kiyoshi are nine years apart in age, but they still have a close relationship.
I also have an older sister who is about the same age as me, but we're not as close as one another. Or rather, because of the age difference, she does dote on me, but she always treats me like a little child.
They weren't in a relationship where they could exchange casual banter like the Hoshimiya sisters.
Hime and Hijiri are indeed good friends. I felt that and it warmed my heart.
These two are really soothing.
"Yohei, listen to me. Whenever I sleep, my big sister squeezes me like a snake. Her breasts act as a cushion and it's not uncomfortable, but it's too hot for my liking so don't you wish she'd stop?"
Oh, that's bad.
I was finally feeling healed, but now that Hime has dragged me into this, I can no longer just stand by and watch.
"I, I see... What's the big deal?"
"Yes. I think you'll understand if you try it yourself, Youhei. It's especially hot this time of year."
No, no. Even Hime's request won't do.
"Yohe no Ecchi"
"That's unreasonable."
Even though I didn't say anything.
All I could do was smile wryly as Hijiri-san, who was hiding her chest and giving me a fixed gaze,
