Chapter Title: Is This School Full of Perverts?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"Yujin, time to get up."
"Ugh... five more minutes..."
I'd finally fallen into a deep sleep for once, so why wake me? I need a solid nine hours a day. My body was still begging for more rest...
"If you don't get up now, you'll have to undergo 'education'."
"I'm up!"
Education.
Just those two words—seared deep into my mind over the course of a whole day—were more than enough to jolt my sleepy head awake.
"Excellent. You have a lot to do today."
"...Sister, I mean Catherine. What time is it?"
Forced awake or not, my pounding head was still complaining about lack of sleep. I wanted just one more hour...
"It's 6 a.m. The perfect time to start a refreshing day."
"Not refreshing at all... Catherine, you weren't in my room all night, were you?"
"Of course not. Even I need sleep like any other person."
Yeah, right. With that completely blank expression, if you're lying, you should quit being a sister and become a poker player.
"Yawn... Fine, just tell me where the bathroom is. This uniform's been on all day yesterday—it's gross. I need to wash up and change."
"I'll show you. Grab your uniform and follow me."
"Sure."
I rummaged through my bag, which I'd tossed on the floor yesterday, grabbed the uniform, and hurried after Catherine, who'd already left the room.
Could you wait a second? She's already way down the hall.
The long corridor led to a massive door that screamed money from a mile away.
A dragon motif on a dorm bathroom door? I'm not the weird one here...
"Yujin, wash up thoroughly and come down to the first floor. No need for textbooks today."
Then why give them to me yesterday... Well, at least she didn't follow me all the way in. Silver lining.
"I could wash you if you'd like. Every nook and cranny, without missing a spot."
"No thanks!"
I ignored Catherine's creepy hand gesture and stepped inside, only to be hit with a whole new world.
This dorm looks normal from outside, but it's huge inside. Has to be magic, or how else is the bathroom this big?
"Hm hm, hm hm hm."
I stripped and tossed my clothes into the basket by the door, then turned on the shower. Perfect temperature without adjusting it.
Ah, finally something I like about this school. Wait, actually, there's quite a bit. The dorm's luxurious, Catherine's cooking is delicious.
Living like I'm at a luxury hotel wouldn't be so bad. Can't use my phone, though... Super, su~per annoying!
This body wash smells amazing.
I lathered up with the body towel by the shower and scrubbed down. I wanted to dive into that pool-sized tub, but cleaning up properly is basic manners.
Slide—.
Mid-shampoo on my annoyingly long hair, the door slid open. Catherine coming in? No way, she'd have come with me if so.
"Who's there?"
"Ah, i-it's... me. Airi."
"Oh, it's you, Airi."
Airi wakes up ridiculously early too. Do all the girls in this dorm get up at this hour?
If I have to do this every day, it'll be hell...
"You're up early too, little sis Yujin. Hehe..."
I rinsed the shampoo from my hair and glanced sideways. Airi was lathering up.
Her white melons jiggled with every move, but I looked away quick. Peeking when she doesn't want it is rude.
"I'm hopping in the tub first!"
The massive tub was filled with milky white water that looked insanely inviting. Rich people don't even use regular water for baths.
"Haaah..."
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ My body feels like it's melting... What is this stuff?
Did they dump in a ton of bath salts? It feels so good. I could soak forever...
Splash—...
"Phew... Little sis Yujin, is the water temperature okay? I always shower at this temp, but..."
The tub had been fine when I got in, but it overflowed noisily as Airi climbed in.
"Perfect... Heaven, pure heaven."
"Hehe, glad to hear it."
Uh, petting my head is fine, but aren't you a bit close? Or do girls normally have no sense of personal space? I'd know if I ever had a real friend.
"...Little sis Yujin. What's that mark on your neck?"
"Huh? Oh."
Ah.
I'd totally forgotten. Catherine bit and sucked on it twice yesterday for no reason. Now that I think about it, it throbs.
"Bug bite. Got a bandage? Could I borrow one?"
"Bug... bug bite. Of course. Here you go."
"Thanks a ton!"
Airi's first impression wasn't great, but she's super kind. She'd even do my dishes and cleaning! Gotta get along from now on.
...Only if I fail to escape, though.
"Little sis Yujin."
"Yeah?"
"Can I hug you right now?"
"Now? It's kinda... We're naked in a hot tub."
"Please..."
Hmm... Thinking of what Catherine said, promises seem important here. Hard to refuse.
She's lending me a bandage, might as well return the favor. It's not like it costs anything.
"No pervy comments like last time, or it's over."
"I promise."
I opened my arms wide to Airi, and she hugged me tight right away.
The feel of her damp, warm skin and heated body temperature.
Her soft sigh from above, her massive chest slowly rising and falling with each breath.
Not sure where to put my hands, I absentmindedly wrapped them around her back. Airi squeezed me even tighter.
Our skin pressed together without a gap, and a weird feeling crept in. On second thought, normal friends don't hug naked like this.
"Stop! That's enough, right!?"
I gave up first, unable to take it. I peeled my hands off her surprisingly firm back and put some distance between us.
"Ah..."
Her face stopped me cold.
Her ghostly pale skin was flushed pink and glowing, pale pink lips parted in a wistful sigh.
Feeling it again since yesterday, Airi's stunning. Can't even say who's prettier between her and Catherine.
"I'm getting out first!"
"Yujin! Wait..."
I bolted from the bathroom and dried off with a towel. Should've rinsed with cold water. My head's still hot...
Oh, forgot to flick her forehead.
◇◇◇◆◇◇◇ "It suits you."
"This thing's super uncomfortable."
"Everyone goes through the same thing. You'll get used to it."
The uniform Grandmother prepared fit perfectly, but the ankle-length skirt was a nightmare.
Catherine was prepping breakfast on the first floor and said it looked good, but wearing this every day? Depressing.
"Uniform aside... who's she?"
The girl poking at an egg sandwich at the table had a striking look that drew the eye.
Silver hair, red eyes... Albino? First time seeing one for real. Curious, but asking outright would be rude.
"Your senior by a year. She's very picky and sensitive, so I recommend staying away."
"Sounds just like Cathe—"
Before I could finish, intense glares hit me from both Catherine and the senior. Sisters? They look alike and act alike.
"Josephine."
"Hm?"
I'd sat down and stuffed my mouth with sandwich when a familiar voice came from the senior's direction.
Thought it was Catherine at first, but she was still silently making salad.
"Josephine. Are you an idiot or something?"
Yep, annoying type confirmed.
"Catherine, this sandwich is amazing."
"Hehe, eat as much as you want. I like kids who eat well. Unlike some picky eaters."
"Yeah! I eat a ton, so make lots!"
Bang!
"Are you both deaf!? Why ignore me!"
"Josephine, mind your table manners. You're Yujin's senior now—set an example."
"Hear, hear! Set an example!"
"Grr... you little brat!"
"Ow...!"
Josephine jumped up, stormed over, and pinched my cheek. Not too hard with just her fingers, but it hurt.
"S-stop..."
"Sorry, but unlike my sister, I don't go easy on brats."
Sister? So they are siblings. No wonder they look alike!
Tch, even their nasty personalities match.
"Josephine."
"Tch, fine."
She rubbed my cheek with a oddly pleased look but returned to her seat at Catherine's warning. Obedient to big sis, huh.
Cheek grudge—I'll get revenge.
"Sister, you're really adding this brat to Stella?"
"It's already decided. Unless... you have a problem with it?"
Stella? My class name? Usually it's A, B, etc. Rich people tastes are weird.
"...No. Hey, brat!"
"What, flat-chest?"
"...What did you say?"
Aha... ahaha...!
I caught Catherine's first-ever bright smile as a vein bulged on Josephine's forehead. Not a comic, but her thin skin made it pop out clearly.
"You, you... what did you just...!"
Fuming mad, Josephine charged again, but Catherine just watched with her chin propped up, amused.
If I were a normal girl, I'd be scared... but I'm not normal!
"You called me brat first!"
"Wh-what?"
"You mocked my height first, so why complain when I fire back? If you punch first, be ready to get hit!"
I chug milk and do everything, but my height won't budge. Mock me for being short? I'll never forget this grudge.
"Ugh..."
"See? Nothing to say? Huh?"
Pinch—.
"Ow! No violence when logic fails!"
I tried shoving away the flat-chested Josephine pinching my cheek again, but she was as strong as her sister—couldn't budge her.
"...What is this commotion?"
Catherine just grinned and watched as the pain dragged on, until Airi opened the door.
Taller and stronger than Josephine, Airi easily pulled me out, hugged me tight, and stuck a bandage on my neck from her hand.
"Senior Josephine, violence against a delicate flower like little sis Yujin is too much..."
"N-no... the brat started...!"
"Did little sis Yujin do something?"
"I didn't do anything."
I didn't lay hands. We teased her a bit with Catherine, but she called me idiot first.
"Senior Josephine..."
"I-I...! I'm really innocent..."
Smack!
"Airi, Josephine. Go to Cherum first. I'll talk to Yujin and join you."
"...Got it, sister."
"Understood, Catherine."
Wow, chaos sorted in a flash.
Airi and Josephine hurriedly cleared the table and left the dorm at Catherine's word.
Handed a basket to Airi who hadn't eaten—probably has sandwiches. Catherine's so meticulous.
"Yujin."
"Yes!"
I hadn't done much wrong, but her call felt intimidating. She just oozes charisma...
"You have a bandage on. Airi just did it?"
As Catherine stood and approached, her long golden hair's sweet scent grew stronger.
Why does she smell so good...
Riiip—.
"Catherine...?"
"I'll put on a better one."
The bandage Airi applied was crushed in Catherine's hand and tossed in the trash. Why... It's just a bandage, but I feel bad.
"So it won't hurt."
"...You're the one who made the wound."
Did she always carry it, or bring it just for me?
I'll never know.
