“Onii-san, let’s take a bath together.”

　Time passed, and it was now around 8:00 PM.

　We ended up staying at the family restaurant for a long time and finished our dinner. And now, as the sky is getting darker, we’re back in the living room.

　It was a first date, but I think it lacked a bit of a date feel. Well, it was a spur-of-the-moment plan.

　If we ever have another date, we’ll do something more date-like next time.

“It’s time for a bath. Let’s take a bath, Onii-san, can’t you hear me?”

“…No, I heard you, okay? I can hear you, and I’m pretending I didn’t hear you.”

“Why is that?”

“Because you don’t hesitate to say the most outrageous things. I know I’m not supposed to listen to that.”

　Shiori-chan tilted her head and sat down next to me on the sofa.

　When we maintained a shoulder-to-shoulder distance, she looked up at me with a clingy gaze.

“I see, embarrassment is important, isn’t it?”

“Hmm? …Yes, it is. That’s why I will take a bath alone─”

　When I cleared my throat with a cough, Shiori-chan had vermillion cheeks and made an indulgent sound.

“O-Onii-san… I want you to take a bath with me. …I’ll wash your back.”

“No, it’s not a matter of how and how many times you say it. You’ve just changed your tone, and it’s just weird.”

“Mou~. Then how can I get you to take a bath with me? I want to take a bath with you, Onii-san. I really want to!”

“Even if you say so… No matter how you put it, I won’t go in. Of course not.”

　With her cheeks puffed out, Shiori-chan began to lightly beg. She grabbed the sleeve of my clothes and started rocking me back and forth.

　But when I didn’t respond for a certain amount of time, she gave up.

“I understand.”

　She stood up from the sofa with a frustrated expression on her face.

　I was relieved to see that. However, when I saw Shiori-chan’s next action, it chilled me to the bone.

“─Nha!? Eh, W-What the hell are you doing!?”

“I’m taking off my clothes.”

“There’s a changing room! Why are you taking your clothes off in the living room!?”

“Because Onii-san won’t take a bath with me…”

“That’s not a good reason!”

“I’ve always wanted to get naked in the living room. I thought it would be a good opportunity.”

“Lascivious! You’re a pervert!”

“That’s a terrible thing to say to your girlfriend. I would only do this in front of Onii-san, okay?”

“That’s the most outrageous thing you can do!”

　Without any hesitation, Shiori-chan began to take off her clothes, her upper body already shirtless.

　I averted my gaze and tried to keep her out of my sight.

“You look so cute when you’re embarrassed, Onii-san.”

“This is no time for teasing. Get dressed. Or go to the changing room!”

“It can’t be helped. Then I’ll give you a choice.”

“Choice?”

　I averted my gaze and ruminated on Shiori-chan’s words.

“Yes. You can either take a bath with me, or you can keep quiet and watch me get naked in the living room. Please choose one.”

“What are those two choices…!? I don’t think I can choose from them though.”

“No, you don’t. By the way, if you choose the bath, I will wear a bathing suit for the sake of the naive Onii-san.”

　For the time being, there seems to be an advantage to choosing the bath.

“…Then I’ll just shut my eyes and wait for Shiori-chan to disappear from the living room.”

“Eh, what makes you think I’ll disappear from the living room? If you choose that option, I’ll be walking around naked all the time.”

“You’re really a lascivious woman!”

　I shouted vigorously. Reflexively, I opened my eyes.

　Shiori-chan was dressed in a thin shirt and a skirt. Thank God. She wasn’t completely naked yet.

　I was relieved to see that she was wearing a pink bra with just a hint of cleavage.

　I looked away to hide my reddened face as my cheeks began to stain.

“Onii-san, did I turn you on?”

“…I’m a man too, you know. I’m not so saintly that I would think nothing of seeing you like that.”

“It’s okay, Onii-san, you’re my boyfriend, you can do whatever you want. That’s why it’s legal. It’s legal, okay?”

“L-Like I said, you can’t do that to me while we’re on a trial basis. Shiori-chan should take care of herself better, you know?”

“Onii-san too, you need to look at me more.”

　Shiori-chan touched my cheeks with her hands and lifted me up with a giggle. She forced me to make eye contact with her.

　Shiori-chan is so close that I can almost breathe on her. Even though she’s just a middle school student, her age was irrelevant when she was this close to me.

　My heartbeat just kept on rising.

　She looked into the depths of my eyes. As we continued to stare at each other, Shiori-chan took her hand away from mine just as I blinked.

　She then asked again with a smirk on her face.

“So what do you want to do, Onii-san, take a bath with me or watch me naked?”

“Again, aren’t those two choices strange…? Can’t you do something about it?”

“If you insist, we can create a hybrid that combines both.”

“That’s the worst possible scenario.”

　What should I do?

　I don’t know how to get through this.

　That being said, there is one thing I’ve learned from my time with Shiori-chan so far. That is, Shiori-chan is as stubborn as she seems.

　She won’t allow me to just run away and not choose either option. 

　If that’s the case, there’s only one choice for me to make.

“What’s your plan, Onii-san?”

“………………Take a bath together.”

“I see. Then let’s go!

“O-Oh.”

　Shiori-chan grabbed my right hand and walked briskly to the changing room, and I was at a loss as we were walking. 

　I’ve only been going out with her for a day, but I’m starting to wonder if this is really okay…
