When Arisa and Kazuya contacted Naoki Amagi, he easily agreed to let Arisa stay out overnight, saying, “I can trust Takasegawa-san with my daughter.”.
Then, with Sayuri accompanying them, they went to a nearby convenience store to buy the bare necessities such as underwear.
Since they had already finished their dinner at the festival, they decided to take a bath.
And ……
“It’s my kimono. …… What do you think? Arisa-chan. Is the size okay?”
“Yes. It’s just right.”
Arisa answered.
What Arisa is wearing is the kimono that Sayuri uses as her nightgown.
It’s not the kind of beautiful yukata that you would wear to a festival or on a sunny day, but a very plain azure-colored one with no pattern.
Perhaps it was because she had just finished taking a bath, but Arisa’s flaxen hair was damp.
Her skin is slightly rosy and flushed, and she has a good skin tone.
Maybe that’s why it looks a little …… or quite glossy.
In addition, Arisa replied, “It feels just right.” …… It seems to be slightly out of size.
The size of the chest, in particular, is not right.
It looked a little painful, and if she bent over, her cleavage would be visible.
However, Arisa didn’t seem to be that bothered by it.
Rather, she seems to have accepted it as “that’s the way it is,” perhaps because she has not had much experience wearing kimono in the first place.
“Well, Yuzuru. You go and take a bath next. In the meantime, we’ll listen to what Arisa-chan has to say about Yuzuru.”
“Yes, yes. …… Arisa, don’t say anything too strange, okay?
“I will properly protect Yuzuru-san’s honor.”
The way she said it, it was as if she was telling Sayuri and the others that there was something unsavory going on.
However, as far as Yuzuru could remember, there was nothing that he didn’t want his family to know about.
Yuzuru decided to take bath quickly.
When he got out of the bath and returned to the living room, he found that Arisa and the Takasegawa family were having a great time.
Apparently, they were talking about Yuzuru’s past, while using the souvenirs that Arisa had brought with tea.
“Oh, Niisan. We were just talking about you.”
“I can see that. What are you talking about?”
Yuzuru sat down on the cushion next to Arisa and reached for the sweets in the center of the bowl.
He removed the wrapping paper and brought it to his mouth.
It seems to be a type of western sweet that can be eaten chilled.
Yuzuru raised his opinion of Arisa’s adoptive father, thinking that his sense of style was not bad.
Of course, he was talking about his abilities, not his personality.
” Yuzuru had always been a child who didn’t clean up properly. When he took out a toy, he would leave it all over the place. When he played a game, he would just leave it there.”
” It took a lot of effort to teach him to put things away after he played with them. I would give him exaggerated praise for putting one toy back in the box.”
” “Rightt~!” ” Kazuya and Ayumi said happily.
As Yuzuru can at least clean up after himself, they were probably talking about when they were very young, perhaps in kindergarten or just entering elementary school.
“That’s what all kids do, I guess. …… Is there a fun factor there?”
Yuzuru asked as he sipped his barley tea.
Then Kazuya and Sayuri looked at each other and smiled happily.
“You’ve learned to clean up your toys, but you never cleaned up your room, did you?”
“He didn’t even let me clean my room, saying, ‘What I do in my room is my business!’. “
“…… So what?”
Somehow, he felt that he could read the direction of the conversation.
Until a while ago, Yuzuru was the kind of person who didn’t take the time to clean up his own private space.
But now he was different.
After he met Arisa, he started to clean his room.
“I was wondering how you were ‘disciplined’ by Arisa-san you see.”
“Even though I told him to do it, he still didn’t do it. But after his girlfriend told him, he started to do it. You’re making mom jealous.”
