Chapter 4: 3

"Hey brother."

 

"Especially?"

"When does the hair "down" there grow?" (TLN: pubic hair)

“…”

In Onodera's apartment, in the living room.

Lying on the sofa reading a book, Hinata suddenly turned around to ask.

"When?"

Enjoying a cup of coffee after dinner, Tatsuya answered weakly.

"I do not remember."

“Eh—? Such a boring answer…”

"Your question is the problem after all."

"Why not? I'm a student and you're a teacher. Shouldn't you answer it for me? Isn't this basic education?"

You can't just use that excuse and ask for whatever you want.

Even though I wanted to say that, Tatsuya didn't always think that way. If the one asking wasn't Tsubakiya Hinata, but rather a student who truly had worries in his heart, came to him for advice, he would definitely wholeheartedly face and answer the question for him, that student.

After all, this is Hinata.

Despite her impeccable girl appearance, she was still a child more suited to shorts than skirts, preferring a baseball bat to a magical girl's wand. The only reason why Tatsuya couldn't speak freely was because he knew this girl named Tsubakiya Hinata very well...

“Do you really want to know? If you really want to know, I'd be happy to answer."

"You're not as usual today." Hinata continued.

"What is wrong?"

“Although I asked in a not-so-serious manner, but what if you said that on purpose? Usually when there is a need for advice on a matter you are always tactful?"

Turns out, this time it made sense.

Even Tatsuya had many worries when she was a junior high school student. When she talked about this with other people, she was also very embarrassed to say it in person. Of course, because this would make people doubt after hearing it, and it would be called trouble.

"So just answer the question directly. Don't avoid the question."

"I'm not avoiding it."

"Then please answer."

“Wait, but are you talking about your body? Or do you just want to know exactly [when the hair "down there" grows]? If so, then this is not "teen talk"? Basically, your question has no clear subject, not being able to identify the subject mentioned in the sentence would accidentally make me think that you are asking your own problem, that's why..."

"Really—!!! Does the national language teacher carry out as many delusions as you, brother?

The anger is gone.

Although still not completely comfortable, but now is the time to show a mature attitude, Tatsuya decided to answer seriously without going around in circles any further.

"OK..."

Hmm, Hmm.

Tatsuya coughed for a while.

I've wanted to say it for a long time, but I don't know why she's embarrassed.

"Okay. I don't remember exactly how either."

“Ummmm…”

“Eh… Um… Well…”

Because Tatsuya was too embarrassed, his words also flew.

(No no, I'm talking to a student, just a junior high school student...)

Even though she was told not to be shy, unfortunately Hinata's appearance didn't look like a middle school student at all. It felt as if the two were in the middle of a matchmaking party, reminding him that she had been forced to say such difficult things before after losing the game "Osama dare".

At that moment, she was surrounded by the curious gazes of the female students sitting across from him.

And Hinata's current gaze was no different from those of the girls, as if she was suffering from Deja vu.

"Well..." Tatsuya spoke up.

"Then...?"

“Well… I honestly can't remember.”

"Wow, unbelievable. Yet you call yourself mature."

"I said I don't mind. I just don't remember. It's impossible to answer a question like this."

“Hey, what do you think? It's a waste of time for people who have been waiting to hear it."

“But if you have something to say, feel free to say it. Feel free to ask. Your age must have a lot of worries about the development of your body, right? Talk to me, I will answer everything for you. This is also the teacher's job."

"But how do you get through puberty?"

"Uh, that..."

Subconsciously, Tatsuya froze.

It was true that in the fourteen years he had known her, he had never seen Hinata go through puberty. Even though the two were still bathing together until Hinata entered the third grade of elementary school. But due to her rapidly developing appearance by the time she entered junior high school, she assumed that Hinata's internal organs were also well developed.

"Is that so, that's how it is."

"Hey hey? Please don't dodge questions, okay?"

"Oh sorry, that doesn't mean anything. I just didn't think I'd answer like that."

"Hey, what do you mean by that?"

"I already said I'm sorry."

"So? Do you often have that in your head?"

"I don't think so!"

"So, after imagining it, are you also 'judging'?" (TLN: judging = manstruating)

"You have no imagination and you have no 'judgment'... But, do you usually talk like this with other people, with the boys in your class?"

"I won't do it!"

Hinata was so embarrassed that her face turned red. Tatsuya didn't say, the minds of people in puberty were a bit too sensitive than usual, not to mention Hinata's growth rate exceeded that of a junior high school student.

“But let's put that aside for now. It's your turn onii-san."

"Huh, what do you mean?"

"I've been through this a lot and you still haven't answered, isn't that unfair?"

"You made all this happen yourself, right?"

"Anyway, I can't let you just listen to it okay? Is this a junior high school girl's secret that's hard to reveal? Is it worth the money? After listening, if there's no response, then give me some money."

“Wow, are you the kid who wants to go into multi-level jobs? Or want to commit robbery and extortion?

Caught listening to it and being asked for money?"

"Don't you think it's rude—"

Hinata frowned, staring intently at him.

Tatsuya quietly took a sip of his coffee. A rare moment of relaxation during the day suddenly became an endless spectacle.

"Are you sure you won't tell?"

“I was just about to say it. But I forgot."

"Damn, it's scary to say that. People have gathered the courage to tell their secret stories and still don't understand, don't you think you're exaggerating?"

"If you say so, I agree."

"Tell me!"

"Say what? Your face is too close!"

"Say!"

"I told you it was too close, your face far away!"

It's really close.

Even though Tatsuya is only twenty-four years old, Tatsuya understands very well that every human being will grow old. As we age, the body changes accordingly.

As you age, your skin will gradually age. Although it was a bit early to tell that Tatsuya was now old, he would occasionally notice the freckles and dark spots that gradually appeared on his face when he shaved every morning.

Compared to him, the Hinata in front of him looked very young.

Besides, his face looks like an adult.

Suffering for those who have to live together.

Tatsuya made a confused expression. Recently, he sometimes had a hard time restraining Tsubakiya Hinata who was growing so fast. 

“Who believes that? It can't be like that! Why such nonsense?"

Hinata still couldn't stop showing her anger.

He looked like she was about to cry, no man in this world was strong enough to pretend to be in front of a crying girl. Whether the other person is a child or an adult, even between the two ages mentioned above. Even though the statement was a bit situation-driven, Hinata also said, "How did you get through puberty?".

“…For now, I'm telling this story for reference only.”

Tatsuya softened.

"Only you and I know about this. Promise your honor and then I'll tell you."

"That's a secret only me and onii-san know, right?"

"Oh, you can say that."

"Promise your honor!"

Hinata's mood suddenly improved. This candor is unconditionally beautiful. it would naturally make people want to do something for him. If it wasn't such a topic, but about love, I would be able to chat with him more generally.

*

The two of them were not related by blood, nor were they family or relatives.

So even though they had been neighbors for a long time, there must be things that Tsubakiya Hinata had not seen until now.

However, Tatsuya was different, he had witnessed and knew everything about him. From the day she started walking alone, when she weaned her milk and diaper, to the day she changed her way of addressing from “onii-chan” to “onii-san”, to the first time a boy from the same class confessed to her, all day long she gave up her boylike image and started practicing wearing a skirt for the first time.

Everywhere you look, you can see all the good memories, memories that contributed to creating the little commemorative plaque, which contains evidence of the girl's daily development over time.

What happened today was also a memory that he would carry with him for the rest of his life.

Unfortunately, this memory for him was not very good.

“Is that so… Since sixth grade…”

Hinata pondered.

What's the point of being so sad about it? Tatsuya shrugged his shoulders in his lap as he poured a can of beer and drank it. At times like these, it's really annoying not to have alcohol in your body.

“I see… Since the sixth grade…”

“…Don't you think it's rude to say it over and over again?”

“Eh! But…”

Hinata put her hand on her cheek, leaning back and forth.

"But what? Screaming in his heart, he emptied the beer can."

"What's not to be twisted like that?"

Tatsuya threw roasted peanuts into his mouth.

"It's normal. There's nothing weird or funny here. Totally ridiculous, really."

"Where, what's wrong?"

On the sofa in the living room, Hinata sat right next to Tatsuya. The girl kept leaning like this, constantly asking all kinds of questions, looking like a mini nightclub. Though Tatsuya had never been to such a place because of his teacher status.

“Hey, when it starts to grow, how does it feel?”

“…Eh, you still want to talk about this topic?”

"Of course. I was just telling you I haven't heard of it."

"To be honest, I don't think this is funny."

"It's up to me to decide whether it's interesting or not, right?"

"I don't need you to evaluate, I said I didn't find it funny. To the point where I wanted to hear what I had to say myself."

"Hey, hey, is that the grass that grows first, or is it the fruit of the rainforest too?"

"Who remembers such a thing."

"Have you ever shaved it?"

"Not."

“What color? Did anything grow yellow or brown?”

"All black."

"Is that so, it turned out to be black hair."

"That's not hair at all!"

"So when I was just born, onii-san's hair started growing..."

Hinata showed deep concern.

It was as if she was looking into space, reminiscing about the glory days of the Roman empire in the past. It made Tatsuya feel a little complicated, what's with the furry thing down there being exaggerated?

"Hinata."

"Hmm?"

“I suddenly felt like I was being sexually harassed.”

"No, I was just imagining it. This is a student-teacher conversation, isn't it?"

"Really? It was just a casual conversation, wasn't it?"

"That's right. At least I'm happy now."

Happy?

Tatsuya frowned.

How much fun is that? Are you happy to see something like this? There is no serious intention to absorb it, and far from the original purpose, what kind of sexual harassment is this?

"I told you not!"

Hinata patted Tatsuya's shoulder.

The girl was very excited. Normally, she was always active, but it was rare to see him this excited.

"Listen to me, I mean happy here means 'satisfied', not 'fun'."

“Hm… Hm…”

“Well, isn't 'satisfied' with 'fun' the same as 'pleasure'? What did you say then? You should pay close attention to how words are used, because depending on the mood of the speaker or listener, the meaning of the words will sometimes change. From there, I discovered the hidden meaning of the words we use every day without forgetting their true nature, which is why I love the national language."

"That's right. Sure enough, you did listen to what I said."

"But why?"

"Even though you forgot to bring your book on the first day of school."

“A thousand apologies! Forget it, try to forget it! I just forgot that I didn't put my books in my bag!"

“Forget it— you can't let it go. I should have lectured you on the spot, but ended up letting it go. I already gave you a favor, now you pick it up and throw it in my face?"

“Ahaha, you are a little too much. Are you drunk just drinking that much?"

That's right, I'm drunk.

Just because if you don't get drunk, you can't stand it if you don't.

Indeed the way she used it from earlier was a bit heavy, in the end it was also due to his immaturity. Looks like I haven't been able to practice perfectly, Tatsuya thought. But suppose, what if the person she just talked to was another student?

Was it because the opponent was Hinata that she suffered like this from the start?

Was this the heart of a young adult who was only twenty-four years old? Tatsuya didn't know, he really wanted to find out the answer.

"You think too much-"

Hinata patted his back again.

“Don't blame yourself like that. I'm very grateful to you."

“…Does the ministry seem grateful enough to solve the problem? But this should be a secret conversation between the two sides, right?”

"I said don't think too much."

Saying that, Hinata leaned back and lay down.

The girl leaned on Tatsuya's lap.

"Why?"

"Huh—? I'm showing my gratitude."

"Is this a sign of gratitude?"

“If I understood what you were thinking, I wouldn't have reacted like this. That's why I have to make it clear through my actions that I rely on you. Did you feel something?"

"It's as if I've never touched you before. It's too heavy, my knee hurts, and it doesn't do me any good."

"So, what do you want? Tell me, I'll do it right away."

"No need. I'm a teacher. It's not an honor to bring trouble to yourself and then ask for gratitude to make up for it. As a teacher, you have to save face, especially in front of your students."

"Onii-san, your knees are really hard—"

gosh

Rub rub.

Hinata used the back of her head to strike at Tatsuya's knee. Due to the proportions, Hinata's head size was pretty neat, but because of her height, Tatsuya couldn't help but feel the heaviness on his knees.

He placed the beer can on Hinata's forehead, causing Hinata to whisper, "So cold~", and moved her legs to and fro. Of course Tatsuya understood what Hinata was thinking. To protect the smile on his lips at a time like this, sacrificing a bit of honor was not worthy of him.

"Hey, onii-san."

"What is wrong?"

"If I can't take it anymore, I'll pay for it with my body. Let's just say I'll pay you back."

“…”

Despite being a young adult, at the same time, Tatsuya is also a teacher.

He is not against ancient educational methods, which are now considered obsolete.

Tatsuya took out a can of beer from the girl's forehead. Instead, he scored a sharp flick of his finger.

chip!

The sound is a bit harsh, but very pleasing to the ear. The snap of a finger brings everything back to the way it was.

"Ouch, it hurts! What are you doing now!"

"Don't you know? I punish you."

"Don't just flick people's foreheads, you're too much! You idiot"

He ignored Hinata, while at the same time ignoring his own superficiality.

The alcohol in beer made his intestines twist. Both he and Hinata were still too far from the goal of "maturity". Struggling, the two of them, step by step, the two of them moved forward together.
