Chapter 107 Part 1

Special Male-Female Communication Room (3) ~Don’t cry~

Kiyoko’s makeup was light, so much that you could barely tell that her lips were crimson, almost vermilion.

That was what crossed Yuu’s mind the moment he pressed his lips against hers and felt their soft feel.

「Hyaaaa!」

「Whoa!」

Getting pushed away with all her might with her hands at the same time Kiyoko let out a surprised cry, Yuu’s body fell off the edge of the bed and hit his butt on the floor.

「Ouch…」

「Ha! Ahh, aaaaaah~~~! I, I-I-I, I’m sorry! W, what manner of thing… have I done….」

As a matter of fact, Yuu didn’t feel much pain because there was a soft carpet underneath.

It was just that, the mental shock of being openly rejected for the first time after being reborn in this world was a great one.

Though, as it reminded him of the fact that prior to his rebirth, he had also been rejected in the same manner by his wife when they first started dating, a bitter feeling flashed through his heart for a moment, but he quickly picked himself up.

If anything, Kiyoko was the more agitated one here, as she immediately stood up and held her head in her hands in dismay.

While slowly raising his body, he fell into thought.

The older sister in front of him who seemed to not be good with men, which was unusual for a woman in this world.

He wondered if he could take advantage of this incident to successfully conquer her.

There, without even trying to stand up, Yuu remained sitting on the floor while holding his knees and pretended to be dejected.

「Aah, how shocking. I did it simply because as I looked at your beautiful face, I instinctively had this urge to kiss you, but to think you were unwilling to accept my feelings….」

「Ugh…」

Kiyoko, who was holding her chest, crouched down right then and there, and not only did she do a dogeza in front of Yuu, but she also smashed her forehead against the floor so hard that it made a thumping sound.

「I, I, I am terribly sorry! All of this… happened because of my lack of virtue. Now that it has come to this, I am willing to accept any manner of punishment… be it seppuku, or even beheading after being dragged around the town…」

In response to it, Yuu, who wasn’t really looking for such an exaggerated apology, fell into panic.

「W, wait! You can stop with the dogeza now!」

「For me to push away and injure Yuu… Yuu-sama, who has taken the trouble to keep me company… Ugh, ugh, sob… what manner of things have I done… I have to apologize with my life here, as no amount of apologies would be enough to atone for this sin….」

She blamed herself so much that she was speaking in a tearful voice.

Thinking that suddenly kissing her might have been too much of a shock for Kiyoko, who was not good with men, Yuu gently stroked her head, which was still lowered.

「Fweeh, hic… I, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry….」

「Big sis Kiyo, c’mon, don’t cry anymore.」

「But… but…」

Yuu felt like it had been a while since he had met such a troublesome type of woman.

If it were the Yuu from before his rebirth, perhaps it would have left him at a loss as to what to do, but for the current him, there was something he could do to deal with it.

「Geez, big sis Kiyo.」

Using both of his hands, Yuu forcefully made Kiyoko raise her body.

「Ugh, aaaaah!」

「If you cry that much, you’ll ruin your beautiful face, you know?」

He wiped her eyes with the handkerchief he had been keeping in his pants.

Then, with a thump, he pressed his forehead against hers.

Falling into panic from having Yuu’s face so close to hers, Kiyoko’s bloodshot eyes swam around aimlessly.

「Hey, listen to me. I did hit my butt when I fell, but it was not really that painful, you see. If anything, your rejection was more shocking than that.」

「Ah, because of me…」

「Just now, you said that you would accept any kind of punishment, right? Does that mean you’ll listen to anything I say?」

「Ah… O, of course.」

「In that case, I’m going to make three requests, so be sure to fulfill them. If you do, we can call it even.」

As Yuu took Kiyoko’s chin and looked her in the eyes, after a while, she quietly answered, 「I understand」.

This time, the two of them sat on the edge of the bed with a little distance between them.

「Now then, my first request.」

「…..」

「You have beautiful hair, but I think it’s a waste that it hides your face all the time, big sis Kiyo. That’s why, could you please tie it up with a hair tie or something? That’s my first request.」

「Huh?」

Perhaps imagining all manner of outrageous things he might demand of her, Kiyoko, who had been shrinking back, opened her mouth in a dumbfounded manner when she heard Yuu’s words.

As far as Yuu was concerned, he could have just made a naughty request from the get go, but seeing how on guard Kiyoko was, he thought about using this chance to make her put her guard down.

「While we’re at it, I’d also like you to touch your hair more, is that okay?」

「Ah… yes, of course. Feel free to touch it as much as you like.」

As Yuu showed a wide smile on his face, the option of refusing didn’t exist in Kiyoko.

As expected, it seemed that Kiyoko, who had long hair, always kept a hair tie in her handbag.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Kiyoko deftly tied her hair into a single bundle behind her neck.

Standing in front of her, Yuu was admiring her beautiful face below his eyes, stroking her now neat head, and taking the liberty to touch her hair that reached almost her waist as he pleased.

Her black hair looked voluminous and heavy, but when he touched it, it was smooth and silky.

「Hnn.…」

「How do you like it? Being touched like this, I mean.」

「E, err… Umm…it seems like, I can handle it… better than I thought…」

「Ahaha, glad to hear that.」

As Yuu stopped stroking her hair and pretended to pull his hand away, he lightly stroked her cheek.

「Hau.」

When Kiyoko felt the touch of his hand, she couldn’t help but let out a moan.

「Big sis Kiyo, you’re not good with men, right?」

「I, I suppose… so.」

「Even now, you’re still speaking in a formal manner, after all.」

「Ah.…」

Startled, Kiyoko put her hand over her mouth.

Then, still hanging her head, she opened her mouth.

「I… Perhaps because I am introverted and grew up surrounded by only women since I was a child, I become extremely nervous when I am in front of unfamiliar men. I do know that the reason I get nervous is because I’m too conscious of them, but I just can’t fix it. Ah! The only exception was father, who lived on the same premises. My mother was father’s seventh wife, and when I was a child, we lived in a separate house in a large mansion. Father would come over to our house from time to time. I still have fond memories of my father holding me and playing with me when I was little. Back then, I was able to openly act spoiled, after all.」

Yuu gave it some serious thought.

Based on her age, Kiyoko was a child that was born when their father was around 18 years old.

He did hear that he married his first three women when they graduated from middle school, but it seemed that he lived with his wives for a few years.

As his number of wives increased, he had them live in separate houses, but by the time Martina was taken as his wife, there were already too many, so they lived separately in different groups.

「Hmm. So it’s OK if it’s a family member. Which means, even though we’re only half blood-related, I, your little brother, should be fine too, right?」

「Ah.」

「Well, I know that we just met today, but please think of me not as a stranger, but as a little brother who you haven’t met in a while.」

「Little… brother.」

「Yes. Today, in order to overcome your aversion toward men, I guess I will make requests while acting as a big sister and little brother who live together. Now then… I missed you, big sis!」

「Yu… u…」

As Kiyoko looked up at Yuu of her own volition, he extended both of his hands toward her.

When Yuu urged her with his eyes, after a moment of hesitation, Kiyoko raised both of her hands, too.

When Yuu took those hands of hers, Kiyoko still flinched a little, but she didn’t try to pull her hands away.

「Your hands are a little cold, aren’t they, big sis Kiyo? Let me warm them up.」

「M, maybe it’s because I have a low body temperature.」

「But your hands are smooth and feel nice to the touch.」

「Me too… Your hands are warm and comforting, Yuu.」

Perhaps because thinking of him as a family member or little brother had shown some effect, her manner of speech seemed to have become more casual.
