Mikoto and I were riding side-by-side on bikes.

We left Mias house and were on our way back home.

We were on the rice paddy road. Mikoto was going quite fast down the road. I had a peculiar feeling earlier.

MikotoI made you wait

Eh? I thought I was the one to keep you waiting

Noit was me who made you wait.

Mikoto presses the brake.

I also press it flustered.

I turned towards Mikoto and asked.

What is it?

You say you made me sad butI wasnt sad

But I said she was number one

That is so but I tried comparing the two scenarios. If you end up leavingId be fine with being number two, as long as you are by my sideanything is fine

Mikoto looks towards the sky and smiles.

It gave a refreshing feeling.

Also, Mia isnt a bad person

Is that so?

Thats why, KoumeiWill you properly go out with me as well?

I got it

I get off my bike and stare at Mikoto.

Mikoto stares at me as if waiting for something.

MikotoI like you

Will you go out with me?

Yepsince you got Mias permission as well

Whats with that!?

Mikoto shouts with a loud voice.

However, somehow it was a cheerful voice.

If I didnt get that womans permission, you wouldnt go out with me?

Ahnowell, I wonder

Geezseriously, how much do you like that woman

E-toto death?

Then, die!

Mikoto faces me and then rides past on her bike.

As she passes, the side of her face I saw showed a smile.

When we returned home, we were quite surprised.

After Mikotos mom looks at us together, she gave a big nod.

Yosh! Today were having red rice!1

We actually are going to have BBQ.

Everyone was gathered in our backyard.

Mikoto and I go to buy meat and veggies, while our moms made preparations.

Although they got mad at us for buying too many ingredients, when the barbeque started, it gradually dwindled to nothing left.

Its been a while, being like this

While drinking who knows how many beers, Mikotos mom would say that over and over again.

Each time, Id nod and reply.

Yup it has

When Mikoto and I became distant, our mothers naturally became distant.

Its not like they were on particularly bad terms.

But, as I thought it was probably impossible to ignore it.

Ah, Im so full!

Mikotos mom let out a big voice.

She had also drank a bunch of sake and it didnt seem like she would be going back to her house.

Like that, she went into the house and started snoring on the living room sofa.

Grandma and Grandpa also went back into the house.

The remaining people were left to clean up.

I wanta bath

When the cleaning was about finished, Mikoto whispered into my ear.

Thats rightIm also a bit sweaty. Do you wanna go to the bath-house?

No. Lets go in the house

Okay

When the cleaning was finished, my mom and Mikotos mom ended up sleeping next to each other.

It seems the tension from the two not talking built up quite a bit.

I take out a blanket and lay it over the two.

Thank you2

Mikotos mom said thanks with half-open eyes.

After I shrug my shoulders, I return to the garden where Mikoto was.

What is it? Didnt you want to take a bath?

You too

N?

I want to enterwith you too

It wasnt phrased as a question.

Mikoto stated it as if it had already been decided.

Is it fine?

After allwe are going out

Th-thats rightwe are

I still wasnt used to this relationship.

Going out with Mia and Mikoto.

We went to Mikotos house.

Mikotos mom was sleeping at my house.

Because of that, Mikoto and I are now alone.

When we go in, Mikoto heads toward the bathroom.

I have taken a bath at Mikotos house a bunch of times.

Thats why I had a change of clothes over here.

But, this is the first time Ive gone in the bath with Mikoto.

I always had a complex about my huge dick.3

Even though she was my childhood friend from when I was small, I couldnt let her see it.

The house was quiet. I was alone with my childhood sweetheart.

And we entered the bath together.

Mikoto

Wait, Im too sweaty

We enter the dressing room together and I embrace Mikotos small body.

However, Mikoto calmly rebukes me and separates her body.

Somehow she feels different from the Mikoto I knew till now.

Pervertthat time you did it with that woman too, did it have this kind of feeling?

Eh?

I heard it all. She said you were like a monkey

They even talked about that?

They probably talked about it when they were bad-mouthing me.

Butshe also said it felt good

Mia

Youre gonna call that womans name out here? Youre the worst

Sorry

Leave for a bit

Saying that, Mikoto pushes my body out of the dressing room.

Wait for a minuteand then come in

I-I got it

Mikoto closes the door.

I rest my back on the closed door and honestly count for a minute.

When I finish counting, I slowly enter the dressing room.

The clothes Mikoto was wearing was folded neatly.

She probably hid her underwear under her clothes so I couldnt see them.

Being gripped with excitement, I stripped my clothes.

And then folding my clothes, I place them next to Mikotos

I continue towards the bath and grab the door.

There was the sound of the shower coming from inside.

Is it fine to come in?

I more or less confirmed through the door.

When I did so, Mikoto answered.

Its fine

It was a delicate and somewhat tense voice.

I slowly open the door and enter the bath.
