I Was Hired As A Tutor By A Cute Little Devilish Junior - Chapter 25 Promise

I ran away from the desk where the three of them were sitting and headed for the kitchen.
As I prepared tea and snacks, I looked at the three of them and saw that Satsuki was talking to Kanade.

It’s a little late to mention it now, but Satsuki and Kanade knew each other.
Since entering high school, Satsuki had always been a frequent visitor to my house.
That was why she and Kanade often played together, and she was probably one of Kanade’s few friends.
Well, they’ve known each other for so long that they might as well be sisters.
In fact, Kanade has always called her “Satsuki Nee-san.”

Now that I think about it, the more time they spend together, the more Kanade has been influenced by Satsuki.
The recent excessive skinship from Kanade and her behavior, could it be that Satsuki has been influencing her…?

This thought crossed my mind, and I couldn’t help but listen in on the conversation between Satsuki and Kanade.

“Kana-chan, you must have grown again while I haven’t seen you lately.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yes, according to my estimation, you’ve definitely grown by one cup.”
“It’s true that my bras have been getting a little tighter lately… This may be thanks to the massage that Satsuki Nee-san taught me.”
“Mmfufu. I’m also happy that it seems to have worked.”
“Yes♪”

Satsuki was stroking Kanade’s head as she said this. Kanade responded by squinting her eyes in comfort.
Yeah, when I look at it like that, it was like they’re real sisters who are very close…No, wait.

I don’t know what to think about the conversation they just had. They were talking about b*easts, right?
More importantly, I heard something about a massage that Satsuki taught her. What the hell was Satsuki teaching Kanade that I don’t know about?

It was true that I couldn’t say anything about this kind of thing, and I was grateful that Satsuki, who was close to my age, educated Kanade on various aspects of it.
But when I think of Kanade, who was always all over me at home, doing that when she was alone…It was an indescribable feeling.

I shook my head to stop myself from thinking in a strange direction and returned to the desk with tea and snacks.
My tactical retreat seemed to have worked, and all three of us were back to our normal minds.

I spread out the tea and sweets and offered it to the three of them.
Shiina, who hadn’t participated in the conversation earlier, started chatting with the other two while picking up the sweets.
That was what I call the communicative power of today’s JKs. She got along well with the shy Kanade.

I wonder if Kanade has grown up in some way, since she was so shy and was able to open up so quickly. If so, I was glad.
It would be great if she could get along well with her school friends at this rate.

“Hey, Kana-chan…”
“What is it? Shiina-san.”
“Well, have you ever been in Senpai…your brother’s room?”
“Yes, I have.”
“Really!? Then does he have any disreputable books in his room…ah!”
“Hey, what are you asking my sister?”

This was the most powerful chop to Shiina’s head so far.
Shiina cradled her head in her hands, “Ow ow…”

“Satsuki Nee-san, what is a disreputable book?”
“Well, it’s…the kind that has a revealing older woman on the cover and says something about a childhood friend and those things.”
“Hey, why that genre specifically?”
“I couldn’t find any books like that. All I could find were ones with older sisters and those.”
“All right, Kanade, let’s have a little chat with your brother.”

I was aware that my cheeks were tightening up, so I pulled Kanade’s hand away and put some distance between us.
The person in question asked happily, “Nii-san wants to talk to me?”
I guess she didn’t realize what she was saying, my pure Kanade. Be careful next time~
I stroked Kanade’s head with the broadest heart I could muster.

“Um, Nii-san? I don’t feel like I’m getting the usual politeness and gentleness in my nudging…”
“Hahaha, that’s not true! Kanade is so cute~”
“N-Nuu-uh…”

When I gave her a big pat on the head, she shook her head and made a strange noise.

“Heh~, I didn’t know Riku liked someone older than him.”

As I was giving Kanade a loving education, I could hear Satsuki’s voice from a distance.

“N-No, I heard Senpai liked someone younger than him…”

Hey Shiina, where did you get that information?

“Well, I knew about it. When he was in the first year of middle school, he always hung around the third-year senior girls and tried reaching out to them.”
“That’s what I didn’t know about…I was sure that Senpai would prefer girls younger than him…”

So, Shiina, where did you get this information? And how can you get such false information after only a month or so of enrollment?
…Also, I was definitely not reaching out to them.

It was stupid and annoying for me to interrupt two girls who were having a good time with my preference.
I gave up and left the two girls alone, and channeled all my anger into patting Kanade on the back.

“N-Nii-san. Where is the usual gentleness…Umm, err. F-Fununu…”

Kanade still made strange noises while I stroked her head. My dad often stroked me in this way, and I found that it was surprisingly fun for him to do.
I continued to nudge Kanade, and when her eyes started spinning, the two girls finished their break and resumed their studies.

“Thank you for today, Senpai.”

The clock struck six, and Shiina and I walked together under the reddish sky.

I couldn’t let her go home after dark, so we ended the study session at my house before six.
Shiina said she was still okay with the time, but it was still too dangerous to let a girl walk alone at night.

And now I was dropping Shiina off at the nearest station before nightfall.

“You’re welcome. How did it feel to be in my house?”
“I was excited to smell your scent.”
“I see. You’re banned from my house.”
“Why!?”
“What can I do? What kind of person would invite such a pervert into their home?”

Shiina insisted, so I asked Kanade’s permission and found a time when Mom and Dad were not around.

“You can’t call me a pervert when you’re talking to a girl.”
“What are you talking about when you get excited by the smell of someone’s house?”
“That is that, this is this.”
“Which is which?”
“Anyway, I’m not a pervert. Don’t make any weird accusations, please.”
“I didn’t say anything wrong, did I…?”

The high school girl in front of me was pushing me one way or the other, and I finally started to lose track of the concept of perversion.
The other day I saw on the news that sniffing a woman’s scent on the train was also perverted, but I wonder if this doesn’t apply.

Well, I know that the conditions were different, but my feelings are too complicated about a high school girl getting excited by my smell.
Of course, it was better than being called smelly, but there was no other way to say it….

“Speaking of which, do you like hot springs, Senpai?”
“What? Why?”
“Just tell me. Do you like girls who come out of hot springs?”
“Hey, you’re changing the question. Well, I like hot springs like any other people. I haven’t been to many lately.”
“I see, you have a fetish for girls after bathing…”
“Stop falsifying like a low-level media. What I like is hot springs.”
“I’m just kidding. But you do like hot springs. I see, I see.”

Shiina nodded and thought about something.

“What’s wrong with that?”
“No, I was just curious. By the way, do you have any plans for your day off after the tests are returned?”
“Uhhh, I don’t think I have anything special to do, so I guess?”
“If so, please keep that day open.”
“Sure, are we tutoring that day too?”
“No, that’s not what I meant…”

When she said that, Shiina ran in front of me, turned around, and said,

“It’s Senpai’s payday ♡”

She said this with her usual devilish smile.
