Chapter 4 A dormitory life with Angel-chan
Moroha was dozing off on the fluffy bed.
– Moroha, wake up desu.
Even when a cute voice called him, he turned over in his sleep with an umm.
– Moroha, it’s already noon desu.
Even when a weak strength shook his body,
– A bit more….
He only said back in a sleepy voice.
– I’m hungry desu. Let’s go out to eat together desu.
Even when something light like a stuffed toy was put on his abdomen, he still didn’t open his eyes.
– Moroha is a late riser desu. But… I’m sure you’re tired desu.
So, even though he could hear a voice from a distance so close that even a sigh could be perceived, his head was still in the clouds.
– Fufu. Moroha’s sleeping face is so cute desu.
A marvelous feeling touched and lay down on Moroha’s cheeks.
It was soft, warm and wet similar to mucosa.
– *Lick* *Lick* nanodesu. If you don’t wake up, I will continue pranking you, you know desu?
That touched his cheeks many times, going up and down.
Moroha was tickled, but it felt so good he entrusted himself to it.
– I warned you desu, *kiss*.
This time, a soft feeling was tightly pushed against his lips.
And kissed him.
– *Kiss*. *Lick* *Lick*. *Kiss*.
Immediately after, a warm, wet and mucoslike feeling broke into his mouth, playing with Moroha’s tongue.
Moreover, even his tongue was sucked.
It felt good. Combined with the slumber, it was like being in dreamland.
Moroha quarreled with the tongue in his dream and sucked back.
In the middle of the ecstasy, his consciousness fell asleep again.
And 30 minutes later.
– Fuaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Moroha woke up as he let out a big yawn.
He raised his body and stretched in the bed of his dorm room.
Today was a day off, he ended up sleeping more than usual.
– Good morning Moroha desu.
He turned his sleepy eyes towards the cute voice that greeted him.
Maya was watching TV while behaving her manners.
Her angelic, golden, smooth and dry hair and her blue eyes that resembled the open sky were very impressive.
The only woman who was in the women-forbidden, perfect-single-room men’s dormitory of Akane Academy──
She was granted an exception as Moroha’s roommate.
– Good morning, Maya.
Moroha greeted back while rubbing his sleepy eyes.
– Good morning nanodesu.
Maya sincerely greeted back once again while smiling cheerfully.
What a good angel-chan she is!
– You slept well desu. Did you have a good dream?
– Yes. I dreamed I kissed an angel.
Moroha nodded as he yawned.
– Waa, that’s a wonderful dream nanodesu!
Maya clapped in high spirits.
Her smiling face was so big that Moroha concluded of his own accord that girls of her age surely loved fantastic stories like that.
– Maya would like to have a cool boyfriend someday and give him a lovely kiss desu (happy face).
Maya said a precocious thing like that with an angelic smile.
That push to the limit was charmingly cute.
– You’re still 10 years old. It’s too early for that, isn’t it?
– Yes nanodesu. Maya dreams of becoming an adult so I will wait until then desu.
– Maya is a well-behaved child, isn’t she?
Moroha slipped out of the bed and went to wash his face.
He stood in front of the mirror of the washbasin and noticed.
The area around his mouth and cheeks were sticky and wet.
As if his cheeks were licked all over by someone or kissed intensely as if craving for each other.
Who on earth would do something like──
Faster than Moroha suspected,
– You sweated a lot while sleeping desu. Wash yourself well desu.
He heard Maya’s voice from behind.
Is that so? Night sweats?
– ……
He felt like he had a good dream, but was it actually a nightmare?
Moroha inclined his neck and washed his face well as he was told.
The dorm’s cafeteria was wide. More than 100 people could eat at once.
Despite today being a day off and that people were here and there, around 30 people were there.
Anyway, the hustle and bustle was terrible.
Since they were men, they didn’t hold back, rather, poor manners had reached their limit, they gathered with their close groups without being able to eat motionlessly. The scene of a meal while making a fuss and fooling around.
Moroha was once told by a Senpai「This atmosphere resembles an izakaya, no?」but he had never been there so he couldn’t actually feel it.*
*TN: Izakaya are Japanese bars that also serve various dishes and snacks.
The hustle and bustle to that degree was──
As soon as Moroha and Maya entered the cafeteria with their hands joined, that suddenly stopped.
The vast space fell completely silent. An eerie silence governed.
Everyone looked back at Moroha, piercing him with spear-like sharp gazes.
Whispers occurred here and there like hubbubs.
– Well well, it’s the entrance of Haimursan who started a life of forbidden cohabitation.
– You have the nerve to flirt day after day. And show it off.
– This guy loves the adolescence he’s indulged in, huh.
– Here’s the lolicon.
He was showered with those critiques.
And skewered by their merciless gazes.
As was expected, Moroha,
– Yeah, I’m hungry too.
– You skipped breakfast, so it’s natural nanodesu.
He peacefully chatted with Maya.
– Because Moroha overslept, Maya is also very hungry nanodesu.
– I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I had a tiring week.
They went to pick up trays lined up in the kitchen with their hands still linked.
They didn’t care even if ill will hit them.
Far from being calm, they showed off a harmonious attitude,
– Read the situation a bit, Haimuraaaa!
A man retorted in an angry voice.
Moroha and Maya grimaced and turned while covering their ears with their free hands.
The one who squared his shoulders and drew near with heavy steps was Kamekichi.
He was a cheerful and popular Senpai in the men’s dorm.
For some reason, he often turned on Moroha, but it wasn’t like he hated him.
His face with no impact and his demeanor with no style were his features. Even now, he opened his eyes wide, lifted one of his cheeks and glared at him as if peering in from below, but his facial expression was「funny」rather than「scary」.
– Good afternoon, Kammie-senpai.
Moroha greeted him amicably with a smile.
– Are you a bit scared?!
Kamekichi shouted seemingly upset, but how could he be scared with that「funny」face of his?
– Hey, Haimura. You’re gettin’ cocky with dat first-year status ya have, aren’t ya? Aren’t ya?
Furthermore, Kamekichi used (unnatural) delinquent slang and tried to make them be afraid of him by going around Maya’s and Moroha’s surrounding coercively (was he going to do it?), but not even Maya felt nervous (as if she weren’t used to it).
– Eh? I got cocky?
Moroha asked, without acting timid,
– Be aware of it, you fool!
Kamekichi pointed to Moroha’s and Maya’s hands still joined.
– The unenlightened Haimurkunnnnn seems to not care! We’re holy sacred men! And she’s a girl! This is a dorm. Girls are “no, thank you”.
– But the one who decided that Maya would live in the dorm is the principal, no?
– Iiiiiiiit’s not l-l-l-l-like I’m saying she can’t live here, am I!?
Oh, this person had no influence.
– But you said “no, thank you” to me desu.
Maya hung her head and sobbed.
– T-that’s… a lie! I said『welcome』in French! N-nou sankyuu〜?
Kamekichi, whose plan was to say it in French, said so with a crooked and stinking manner of speaking.
– But welcome in French is『Bienvenue』nanodesu.
– This girl IS THAT SMAAAAAAAAART!?
But as soon as Maya pointed that out while sobbing, he was so taken aback that he bridged.
Unconsciously, Moroha was about to burst into laughter.
Kamekichi moved his hands and feet while bridging, rotated with a gross movement like a bug and turned his face to them,
– It seems that the misunderstanding has finally been sol──
– No, it wasn’t a misunderstanding, Kammie-senpai just failed and tried to gloss it over, no?
– It seems the misunderstanding has been finally solved, so let me say this again! I said “as it’s inevitable for this child to live in the dorm, don’t go flirting with her carelessly”, Haimuraa.
Kamekichi shouted, making his face take a complete turn, becoming tense.
Besides──the dorm students behind him nodded with a groan all at once.
The 30 or so agreed.
Heavy.
After Moroha scratched his head in silence for a while,
– Eh? When did I flirt with who?

He replied in a relaxed manner and without a care.
– You’re showing off how you’re lovey-dovey with that child every dayyyyyyyy. I can feel it from the air around youuuuuuuuuuuu.
– Well, what I’ve properly felt is that I’ve been shunned by everyone this week?
Moroha vexed and shrugged his shoulders.
The man who was denounced to be unable to read the situation was going beyond rudeness.
– If so, reflect on that!
Approximately 30 people agreed all at once with Kamekichi’s shout.
– You see, you have no reason to blame me for anything nor should I reflect on anything…
Moroha nonchalantly warded off the criticizing will swirling with deep-seated grudge.
– This problematic guy is worse than a guy who can’t read the situation!?
Kamekichi shouted, looking at the unbending person.
– You! How do you even say that!? You live with a girl with a student status, walk in front of everyone with your hands joined and act like eating yakiniku in front of me and the rest who are hungry!? How’s that not a reason to be criticized fooooooor!?
Kamekichi moved noisily and bent his full belly.
And made an original angry gesture.
Yes, jeering flew from the boys behind him.
After Moroha scratched his head in silence for a moment,
– But Maya is still a child, no?
He smiled and turned to Maya. And said “isn’t that right?”, matching their voices.
– You’re too careless! You’re going to claim you’re innocent to the end!?
– Yes, of course. Maya, say something please.
– Moroha and Maya are wholesome roommates nanodesu.
Moroha and Maya looked at each other again and said “isn’t that right?”, matching their voices.
– Now you’re flirting with that『isn’t that right?』, I’m so jealoooous, you lolicooon!
– You’re jealous? Then isn’t Senpai the lolicon here?
When Moroha retorted very calmly,
– It’s a figure of speech, goddammiiiiiiiiiit!
Kamekichi shed tears of blood.
Well, he saw his Senpai running while shouting「Boobs! Boobs!」in a strange voice before, so this time really seemed to be a figure of speech. He probably wasn’t a lolicon.
– You’re suspicious! You’re more suspicious than the politicians who say『I’ll never raise consumption tax!』! It’s true that your rooms are the same, but maybe you wake up kissing and licking each other every morning, so confess!
– Maya, I said you’re a child, no? And you wouldn’t do that. Would you?
Moroha smiled at Maya, looking for approval.
– ……… Would I?
Maya also responded with an angelic and pure smile.
Moroha decided to not think about the strange pause before the「Would I?」 was said.
He turned to Kamekichi and,
– Leaving that aside, I’m hungry, so can I go already?
– What’s with that troubled and disgusted nature!?
– I’m really annoyed. If you have a complaint, please send a written protest afterwards. I’ll read dozens of them.
– Suure, don’t regret it, okay!? I’ll really write them, okay!?
Kamekichi walked out of the cafeteria with bug-like movements and in high and proud spirits while bridging.
It finally became quiet.
The boys who came together and criticized him returned to their meals as if becoming subdued.
Moroha took Maya with him to put the lunch on the trays they got from the middle-aged man in charge of the meals.
Today’s lunch was pork fried with ginger. Sardine hamburger. Slow-boiled egg soaked in sweet and salty dashi. Rice with grated yam and miso soup with eggplant. And tomato salad──that was all the menu.
Everything looked delicious, their stomachs sounded just by looking at them. The dorm’s catering was very substantial every day. This provided enough nutrition and a modest reward to the《Saviors》who trained hard every day.
The portion of the very young Maya was reduced by the considerate uncle.
They carried the trays to empty seats, sat next to each other,
「「Thank you for the meal」」
And put their hands together faithfully.
Given that they ate together every day, Maya came to imitate Moroha. She was an honest and cute child.
Moroha immediately went for the hamburger.
The unique flavor and bittersweet of the sardines coupled with the sweet teriyaki sauce created a complex taste. If a regular hamburger was the standard for children, then this was certainly a hamburger for adults. The small bones were carefully disposed, this allowed him to guess the work of the uncle who cooked it. A gem that overflowed with tenderness.
He filled his mouth heartily──and Maya, who was fixedly watching that,
– Maya doesn’t like sardines nanodesu…
She grumbled dispiritedly.
She was so dispirited that he spontaneously wanted to hug her close.
– Being picky about the food that is served is no good, you know?
However, Moroha said, hardening his heart.
– It’s a waste if I leave it there desu?
– Yes, it is a waste. I can’t allow that.
Maya nodded small while being dispirited.
She readied herself, grabbed the fork and tried to pierce the hamburger but hesitated, then readied herself again and immediately hesitated… she repeated that charming thing over and over. She raised her face that seemed to be about to burst into tears,
– If Moroha feeds me, then Maya can summon courage desu.
– Maya sure is a helpless pampered child, huh.
Despite smiling wryly, Moroha thought he wanted to respond to that little courage.
He cut Maya’s hamburger into bite-sized pieces and stabbed them with a fork.
– Here, say aaa.
– Aaa nanodesu.
When Moroha prompted her, Maya closed her eyes tightly, obediently opened her mouth while trembling and waited.
He carried the hamburger there. Maya ate it, biting into it. She chewed it nervously.
– … ! It’s delicious desu!
– Haha, you just disliked it without eating it.
– So this is the taste of adults nanodesu! It’s delicious nanodesu!
– To understand that, Maya has to be an adult then.
Moroha cut a second piece and carried it to her mouth while smiling.
– Aaa nanodesu.
Making Maya wait with her mouth open, looking happy was so adorable.
When she ate so,
– To return the favor nanodesu (happy face).
Maya also cut the hamburger into a bite-sized piece and carried into Moroha’s mouth.
– Haha, aaa.
Moroha was fed with pleasure.
– Stop with the『aaa』, you gobyyyyyyy──
Oh my, what a killer intent!
Kamekichi’s drop kick suddenly flew towards there.
Moroha lightly moved his chair back and dodged it.
– ──Yyyyyyyyyy!
Kamekichi came flying with so much momentum that he crashed while knocking down many empty chairs.
*Megi!* *Mogya!* *Bogyan!*
Many painful sounds were produced.
Moroha and Maya ducked their heads reflexively.
– Just when I thought if you would come back… what are you doing so suddenly, Kammie-senpai?
– This…is heaven’s… punishment… to the… sickeningly sweet and… soppy couple.
– Oh, heaven’s punishment. I see.
Moroha agreed, seeing Kamekichi who was writhing in pain, squashed by the chairs he dragged.
This was certainly karma.
– Damn you, you were that much careful and yet, you’re incorrigible! Flirting and eating food are a no-no, you know?
Only Kamekichi’s voice regained power, but he stood up while staggering by the damage.
– I normally feed her so it’s just that?
– It’s not『just that!』No means no! That action cannot be『just that』.
– Geez, Kammie-senpai is exaggerating, a single time is enough for you to tell what happens all the time.
– You should remember first that we’re humans who have never been able to say『aaa』and『delicious』with a girl!
The boys behind Kamekichi nodded with depression and bit their lips so much that blood came out all at once.
– That’s not my intention at all…
– I’m saying that those who aren’t aware of it are really problematic, okay!? When will the day come when I can show off how I’m being fed in something that resembles a date? I can’t withstand you. I’m all raging now.
Kamekichi became serious and got angry.
Moroha thought that false accusations had a limit.
– This doesn’t look like a date, does it?
He faced Maya with a smile on his face.
– …… Does it?
Maya replied with an angelic smile.
There was a brief pause before the「Does it?」again, but Moroha decided to not care about it.
He thought if Kamekichi would agree to this,
– I can’t forgive you anymore! Prepare yourself, Haimuraaa!
– I told you already to write a written protest, right?
– I already wrote them!
Kamekichi threw a bunch of report sheets on the table.
– You really wrote them… wow, they’re closely packed like this…
Moroha, who wondered that just now, was actually impressed.
What was this waste of ability?
– However! You, who continues revolting the public morals of the men’s dorm, cannot be forgiven at this point. You’ll be punished.
Then again, Kamekichi, who carried the hatred of the boys on his back, thrust his finger at him. With an original posture that thrust the middle finger and not the index finger at him.
– But I’m against being punished for something I have no knowledge of?
Moroha answered while eating the race with grated yam nonchalantly.
Kamekichi, without lending an ear to him,
– I’ll have you weed the rear garden on a day off!
– But the uncle in charge of cleaning does that though?
– You’ll do that as punishment! We can repay the favor to the uncle that we’re normally indebted to as well, so we’ll kill two birds with one stone!
– Oh, I see. I understand. If that’s the case, I’ll do it.
He was grateful to the middle-aged men who made the dormitory shine.
Anyway, he had no plans for the day and he had free time.
– Hihahahaa! You may have something admirable in you for being punished obediently.
Kamekichi misunderstood something, but Moroha didn’t correct him because it was troublesome.
– Then, eat fast.
– Aaa nanodesu.
– Here, aaa.
– If you flirt, then being punished won’t have any meaniiiiiiing!
– You’ve been noisy for quite a while, Kammie-senpai. The food will get bad, no? Isn’t that a waste?
– Because we’re annoyed by you two every day, our meals were ruined a long time ago!
Kamekichi expressed the emotion of anger with an enthusiastic breakdance.
Annoyed, Moroha and Maya moved their trays and all somewhere else, walked speedily and finished their lunch.

The rear garden of the dorm was large.
This year was an unusually dry rainy season, so while it didn’t mean that the weed had grown to its heart content, it was quite the heavy labor to go and pluck all of it.
The sun shone scorchingly today, and tortured him mercilessly.
A normal student would have gotten tired and given up.
However, the tough Moroha had it very easily, he continued plucking while humming a tune.
– Moroha, I want you to see desu. Maya has already plucked them like this desu.
Moreover, what a great child! Maya came with him and helped him.
The straw hat she borrowed and her angelic smile matched perfectly.
Her cuteness increased hundredfold.
– It’s unfortunate, Maykun. I appreciate your efforts, but I’ve already plucked more.
– Unh. I’d like adults and children to have handicap desu.
– How much handicapped should I be?
– How about wrapping dumbbells around Moroha’s limbs?
– I’m sorry, but it’s my loss, so no handicap.
And──they forgot about the tiredness of work only because they had a friendly chat. Time and the like passed in the blink of an eye.
By about 3PM, it was noticeable that the plucking had clearly finished.
Moroha sat cross-legged on the ground, took a breath and,
– We did it well, huh. Even if we pester Kammie-senpai for one or two midday snacks, we won’t be punished, will we?
He looked for Maya’s consent.
However, the figure of the angel-chan with a straw hat had disappeared.
Oh? As soon as he wondered so──
– A surprise attack nanodesu! A water plan nanodesu! Zhuge Liang’s stratagem nanodesu!
He was splashed with water from behind.
– This mischievous child.
He turned around his upper body only; Maya laughed innocently while holding a hose that gushed water out.
– This is a rare chance, so if we sprinkle us with some water, it will be refreshing for us desu.
Maya blocked half of the hose’s mouth while saying so, increasing the force of the water.
And directly hit Moroha’s face who looked back.
– Wait a minute. It’s cold! I’m telling you, it’s cold.
– It’s an experiment to see if you really become a splendidly handsome and nice man nanodesu (happy face). *
*TN: Splendidly handsome comes from “dripping water”, so basically, if he’s dripping wet.
– Ahahaha, there’s no way that’s true you dum-dum, hahaha.
– I won’t know unless I give it a try desu. The wisdom of our ancestors are something not to be trifled with desu.
Maya, who continued pranking innocently, was so cute and her liveliness so charming that Moroha smiled despite being dripping wet.
It was strangely fun to just sprinkle and being sprinkled with water with a hose. It was pleasant from the bottom of his heart.
They played while laughing and giggling.
– Experiment successful, good man completed desu.
Maya, who stopped splashing, celebrated proudly.
Then the water gushing out from the mouth of the hose that faced upward was pulled by gravity and fell, dashing on Maya’s head.
– Splendidly beautiful and nice woman completed.
Moroha laughed, holding his sides with laughter because she looked both cute and funny.
– We match nanodesu.
Maya also laughed embarrassed and showed an angelic smile.
– We match? But it’s still unfair for me?
Moroha proved how much water was splashed on him by squeezing the T-shirt and,
– Give me the hose. It’s revenge time!
He threw his T-shirt off, becoming naked above the waist and attacked Maya.
– Kyaa. I refuse nanodesu. I won’t give you my weapon desu.
Maya escaped while shouting kyaa kyaa and holding the hose.
They ran in circles in that place, starting a chase scene as if they were frolicking about.
– Oh, you’re surprisingly quiick.
– Help me nanodesuu. I’m being attacked by a bad person desuu.
– Stop, resistance is futiile. If you do so, I’ll give you lots of loove.
– That’s a lie nanodesuu. Maya will be eaten desuu.
– Hahaha, I wonder about thaat.
Moroha brought back a childlike innocence on his face and enjoyed himself.
Whether it was just chasing one another or child’s play──
The smile and magic power of angel-chan who smiled with all that she had made Moroha happy from the bottom of his heart.
– Hahaha, wait waait.
– Shut up, you rascaaaaaaaaaaaaal.
Oh my, what a killing intent!
Kamekichi brandished a nail bat, tearing the enjoyable and relaxed mood to pieces.
Moroha brought his face back to a serious one for a moment and dodged it lightly.
While he was at it, he put a foot in front him and made Kamekichi trip who came too fast.
– Angyaaaaaaaaaaaa.
Kamekichi, who fell, pitching forward, crashed on top of his nail bat from the head.
Gujyaa.
A heartbreaking sound was heard and Moroha and Maya averted their gazes from the tragic scene.
– How dare you do that, Haimuraaa!?
– That’s my line. Why are you suddenly attacking me with a nail bat? Why are you holding something like that in the first place?
– It’s okay to use it when the end of the century comes!
– Are you stupid? Also, are you a man from the age of『rascals』?
– Damn you, how dare you speak to and face a Senpai when you’ve been silent for a while now!?
– If a nail bat is suddenly swung at me, then my words will become sharp, you know?
Moroha protested snappishly and Maya, who was next to him, nodded with an mm-hmm.
– Everything is your fault, Haimura!
– In the end, you’re taking the offensive, huh…
– No, you’re in the wrong! When I come to check if you’re doing it properly, you had the nerve to be doing stupid things. The punishment isn’t a punishment. Why are you trying to flirt when there’s a chance? Eh? If you don’t flirt with her, you’ll die? If you don’t flirt with her day and night, your breathing will stop?
– I’m telling you that I’m not flirting with her. We’re just chasing one another.
– There’s so many people in the world and yet I haven’t been able to chase a beautiful girl! Be a bit considerate of the feelings of those who haven’t.
– I don’t get at all what you’re talking about.
– Jesus… can a monster like this be forgiven…?
Kamekichi unconsciously staggered with a face that said “I can’t believe it”.
– Because you don’t have a guilty consciousness, you escalate more and more! You’re racing to commit a crime you’re unaware of with all your strength!
– What on earth is this scandalous story about…?
When and what escalate?
– Record your recent chase (LOL) and see for yourself! No matter how you look at it, it’s a crime to be half-naked and chase around a little girl! And remember the numerous guilty words you blurted out. Take responsibility for the crime of stating you’ll eat the little girl.
– I didn’t say that. I’m just playing with Maya, why do I have to be treated like I committed a crime?
– Seriously? Can you swear that you don’t have any feelings of guilty? This situation in which you’re half-naked, chasing around a little girl is immorally exciting, am I wrong? In reality, your heart is pounding, am I wrong?
– What kind of pervert do you think I am…?
After Moroha became dejected,
– My heart isn’t racing, is it?
He faced Maya with a smile.
– …… Is it?
Maya replied with an angelic smile again.
Why there was a mysterious pause before this girl said「Is it?」. Moroha decided to not think too much about it.
– See? Maya also says the same.
– At any rate, you made her do what you told her to do!
– What the hell is that prejudice…
– This is your habitual behaaaaavior, you womaniiizer. I’m jealous that you’re messing around with woman after woman at school! Get stabbed by a woman fast and die! And fall on the way leading to a scene of carnage.
– Apart from that false accusation, Kammie-senpai is honest, huh.
Since it was Moroha, he couldn’t make embarrassing and jealous calls one after another.
– On top of that, because you weren’t satisfied, even that little girl got corrupted, you know〜〜? You’re now a couple, no〜〜? And rapidly confessed!
– You’re awful, what kind of criminal am I inside Kammie-senpai?
– A Tanuma Okitsugu-class!
– Maya thinks that Okitsugu『villain』theory is very old desu. I’d like you to read『Upside-Down History of Japan』and apologize to Okitsugu desu.
– This child IS THAT SMAAAAART!?
Kammie-senpai, who pretended to be intelligent and used his own denomination, turned his face bright red after Maya pointed that out with a deep knowledge.
He glanced at Moroha to gloss it over,
– You have no choice but to keep plucking!
He attacked him, thrusting his middle finger at him.
– This isn’t enough. My thirst can’t be quenched. Keep plucking more and more and more weed! You should keep working with the face of a slave that is making a pyramiiiiid!
– What kind of face is that?
– This faaaaaaaaace.
Kamekichi showed a comical face as if he had suddenly grown 40, 50 years older: he drooled from his partly opened mouth, his eye sockets caved in, his eyes were opened wide and wrinkles called fatigue were carved all over his face.
Moroha and Maya were about to laugh spontaneously, but resisted.
Then at that moment──
– Fa… fa… fa…
Maya, who endured the laughter, suddenly felt her nose getting itchy and endured the sneezing. But,
– *Sneeze*.
Without being able to endure it, she sneezed cutely.
A cool breeze, like the preliminary announcement of evening, ran through.
– Your body, cooled off?
– I think so nanodesu.
She wasn’t as drenched as Moroha, but he was worried about Maya who threw water over her head.
– That’s pretty bad! Go and take a bath right away. Nobody should be there at this hour, so it’s fine if angel-chan gets in, right?
Kammie-senpai, who got noisy while plucking and plucking, recommended with a serious look on his face.
He couldn’t hate that part of his.
– Then, I accept your offer.
– I accept too nanodesu.
Moroha and Maya slightly bowed to their Senpai and turned to the right.
– Wait, Haimuraa!?
Kamekichi grabbed Moroha’s shoulder.
– What?
– Don’t “what” at me──don’t tell me you’re going to take a bath with her!?
– That’s right.
– Turn yourself in! Stop saying bad things and go to the nearest police station right now. Okay?
– It’s nothing but taking a bath with Maya, so don’t scold me over a small thing like that.
– If that’s not a crime, then I, who borrowed a DVD from a Senpai who graduated and never returned it, didn’t commit a crime────!
– You see, borrowing something without returning it is clearly a crime.
– It was unintentional, a sudden impulse!
Moroha retorted calmly and Kamekichi fell down where he was and cried aloud.
– Please mail it as soon as possible. Then, we’ll be going.
– This and that are different!
Moroha got his leg grabbed by Kamekichi who was still down on his knees.
He was so fed up he didn’t know what to do. Maya said as if admonishing an unreasonable child.
– But but Maya takes a bath every day with him desu? Isn’t it too late to criticize now desu?
– Such shameful act, even if heavens allow it, I won’t allow it!
– But but the dormitory leader gave us permission desu?
– !?
The hand of the authority-weakened Kamekichi that grabbed Moroha immediately became less tense.
– So that’s how it is.
Without a moment’s delay, Moroha pulled his foot and hurriedly escaped.
Maya also hurriedly escaped, matching his movement. Then they heard from behind.
– Tch──
The refreshing distant howl of Kamekichi who looked up at the azure sky as if he were the main protagonist of a tragic play while still on his knees.
– Goddammiiiiiiiit, why is it Haimura every tiiiiiiiiiiiiiime!?
In the dressing room of the large public bath, he took off his clothes back to back with Maya.
– I’m ready nanodesu.
When Moroha wrapped a towel around his waist and turned around, Maya had finished changing into her swimsuit.
A two-piece type with a cute design.
The top had a large ribbon at the knot and the bottom had frills. The volume of the swimsuit’s decoration gorgeously decorated the slender and age-appropriate body of Maya.
If it were a public bath, Maya would be old enough to enter the men’s bath completely naked, but as this was the men’s dorm, being like that was considered morally problematic as expected.
The dorm leader issued three conditions: 「Wear a swimsuit」「Get in when it’s not being used as much as possible」「Moroha must accompany you and supervise you」
The two of them joined their hands and rushed to the bathroom.
– It’s like coming to a public bathhouse every day nanodesu! It’s luxurious!
Although it was a blunt bathhouse were the number of people and functions were prioritized, Maya was very excited. Moroha also loved this bath, so he sympathized with her somehow.
When the two of them happily sat down side-by-side on the bath chairs of the washing room,
– Let’s wash each other (happy face).
– Those who can’t do it themselves shouldn’t come to public places. I won’t bring you with me anymore.
Moroha controlled himself and argued for argument’s sake with an extremely serious face.
– Unh. Moroha is boring desu.
Maya began to make bubbles with the sponge she brought from the room while swelling her cheeks.
Seeing that, Moroha relaxed and washed his hair.
However──
– Eeei, nanodesu.
– Uhah.
He screamed as Maya suddenly rubbed his defenseless back with a sponge while rubbing shampoo on his head.
– Y-you’re mean, Maya!
– You showed your back on the battlefield, so it’s your fault desu.
– This is a bathhouse.
– Moroha’s back is wide desu. And cool desu. It’s worth rubbing it desu.
Without listening to his words, Maya continued scrubbing his back hard while giggling.
Finally, hot water was splashed from the head with all she had, washing the shampoo and soap off.
– Fufuh. Maya is so mischievous it doesn’t match her face.
– I’d like you to say I’m a kind child desu.
Maya sat on the bath chair while saying so proudly and washed her face this time.
She rubbed shampoo, using her tiny hands and,
– Uryah.
– Hyaanh.
Moroha washed her from behind to take revenge.
With all his heart.
*Rub* *Rub* *Rub* *Rub* *Rub* *Rub* *Rub* *Rub* *Rub* *Rub* *Rub* . As if trying to polish her sparkling golden hair even more.
Maya’s hair was incredibly thin and flexible, the sensation of it dancing in his fingers felt so good he washed it in ecstasy.
– It, it hurts desu. I’d like you to do it more gently desu. Girls do it delicately desu. Ah, ah, but this, this feels good. Ah, ah, I might get accustomed to this nanodesu〜.
– This? Is this good?
– Afuu〜n ♥.
– Ah, idiot. Why are you letting out such a painful voice like that, you precocious child.
– I’ve been messed up desuu.
– Do I have to say it again? This bad child.
– Kyaaaa, nanodesuu.
In the end──they washed each other while having fun.
Then submerged till the shoulders in the large bathtub.
– Warm yourself well.
– Then let’s count to 500 together desu.
– Isn’t 500 too much? Something like 200 should be enough, no?
– Maya is a woman who always attack at the last moment desu.
– She’s a terrible angel-chan. A fallen angel-chan.
They counted the numbers leisurely while taking turns to say stupid things.
However, when they were about to count 300──
– I want you to hear something desu, Moroha.
Maya began to say as if she had a feverish dream and with a slightly blushing face.
– Now that Maya came to live with Moroha, her heart can’t stop racing nanodesu.
– Well, from the point of view of a little girl, this may be due to a series of serious things.
– My heart is pounding to the maximum nanodesu. To take a bath with a man… funyuu.
– Hahaha, think of it as a hot spring trip with your elder brother. I can be your dad if you like? It shocks me a little though.
– Is it because my head began to feel dizzy all of a sudden desu?
– That’s exactly what dizziness caused by prolonged hot bath is.
Moroha hurriedly stood up in the bathtub and carried Maya who fell and drowned as soon as she said so.
With great haste, but without shaking, he carried her to the dressing room, lay her down and put the built-in fan at full power.
– Somebody! Heey, is anyone there!?
He asked for help outside the large public bath, but there was no reply.
It was useless, he fell on his knees, wondering if he should go,
– Funyuu… I don’t want to be alone desuu.
Maya grabbed his leg.
He reluctantly sat down next to her. The only thing that Moroha could do now was to cool Maya’s temperature with the wind of the electric fan.
While being worried, Maya said, as if talking in delirium,
– It’s hot desuu. My chest is hot desuu. Help me nanodesuu.
– Eeh? What do I do?
– I’d like you to take off the upper part of my swimsuit desuu.
– Don’t say something unreasonable!
Moroha screamed.
– I’d like you to think you can help your wife remove her swimsuit desuu.
– I thought we’re pure friends!?
Moroha screamed again.
He considered Maya to be a child, but still, there were good and bad things.
And there was a limit.
It was a crime to take off her swimsuit even if an uproar wasn’t made by Kamekichi.
However,
– I’ll diie. My chest is so hot that I’ll die desuu. I didn’t live for too long desuu.
Maya was sought after death, he had no choice but to prepare himself….
He closed his eyes tightly to hold his temper.
To be sure as sure he could be, he turned away so much his neck hurt.
After that, he fearfully extended his hands to be able to take off Maya’s swimsuit.
He groped for the top knot and tried to untie it.
The groping didn’t work at all. He touched places he didn’t need to.
He thought things like (Ah, even though she’s 10 years old, they’re swelling out like this already) and (Oh, they’re soft…) but he kicked those bad things out of his head and managed to untie the knot.
While being troubled by the sound of rustling of clothes that seemed to be awfully graphic, he finally took off the upper part of the swimsuit by making sure to pull it out from the side.
– Haimuraaaaaaaa.
– The timing is too damn perfect, isn’t it, Kammie-senpai?
Moroha shuddered at Kamekichi who trembled from fear, standing at the entrance of the dressing room.
At this rate, he would end up seeing Maya who had the upper part of her body exposed!
Maya wouldn’t be able to become a bride anymore!
Moroha moved right away and hid Maya’s tiny boobs from Kamekichi’s eyes.
He covered her with his bare hands! What a criminal blunder, err, don’t judge me, okay?
I just embraced her with all my strength, okay?
By doing so, the front of Maya was perfectly hidden by Moroha’s body, Kamekichi could only see her back.
He could protect Maya’s chastity!
However, the price was high….
Moroha sweated cold sweat to no end.
He faced Kamekichi, sweating like a frog stared at by a snake.
(As expected, this is no good… is it…?)
It was very upsetting to be called a criminal and denounced that they were flirting when they chased each other after he fed Maya, but embracing each other when both were naked above the waist was inexcusable.
If the positions were reversed──if the naked Kamekichi were found embracing a little girl──Moroha wouldn’t hesitate to dial 110, the police emergency phone number.
– Jeeeeeeesus. What the hell…
Kamekichi slowly entered the dressing room.
What kind of anger driven him now? He sidled up to him with trembling steps.
Moroha made his brain go full operation to explain something at least, but nothing came into his mind.
Kamekichi approached faster than what his brain could come up with.
He fell to one of his knees right near him and made eye contact with him at an eye level.
He stared at him with a terrifyingly serious gaze.
He had never seen Kammie-senpai full of a drive like that.
He was a stupid and amusing Senpai but his true nature had some serious aspect. Seeing Moroha’s decisive criminal act, his sense of justice might have boiled and fired up his righteous indignation.
– … Haimura.
Kamekichi opened his mouth and said his name with a threatening voice.
Moroha got tense, and made a sound with his throat.
He got ready to receive any accusation and held his breath.
– … No, Haimursan.
– ……… Yes?
Haimursan?
In front of the dumbfounded Moroha,
– I give uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup.
Kamekichi suddenly began to prostrate, placing knees, hands and forehead on the ground.
– It’s my defeat, I lost to Haimursan! So please, forgive all my rudeness up to this moment.
– Eh? When was this about winning or losing?
– You brought angel-chan! To the men’s dorm’s bath! You’re hugging each other naked, you’ve deeply moved your Onii-san…. Since I’ve been shown this much, I have no choice but to accept Haimursan’s victory. You’re amazing. The nizer in womanizer. The Nizer King.
– That’s an absurd and ugly title…
– Nizer Kinggggg. Make me your diiiiisciple. Make me a maaaaan.
– No, I won’t have disciples or anything like that.
– Don’t be stingy, I want to be popular too. Please tell me how to get close to a woman, what kind of tricks I should use to seduce even a little girl, what evil god I should pray so that lucky lewd events happen every day, please tell meeeeee.
– I don’t like heat so please don’t cling to me.
Feeling really disgusted, Moroha thrust him away with all his strength.
– Please, give your testimony, Maya. It’s not like I’ve been seducing Maya, right? This is just force majeure, it’s not lucky lewdness or anything like that, is it?
He asked Maya who was in his chest for her consent.
– Right? I said right, right?
– Maya cannot reply because she is dizzy due to the hot bath desu.
– But your tone of voice sounds really calm.
– Haimursan, for the love of God, please tell me, Haimursannn, I’ll do anythiiiiiiing.
– Try to collect yourself, Senpai. Don’t come this way.
Moroha was perplexed by Maya who seemed to be fine in the blinking of an eye and the uncomfortably-way-too-lively Kamekichi who hugged him.
In the end, the worst was──
No sooner footsteps could be heard than men who seemed to have come to take a bath appeared.
– Hey hey, what’s this fuss?
– Geh…!
– Haimura is naked and hugging Maychan…
– Moreover, Kammie is hugging him too.
– What the, this seducer bastard not only finally seduced Maychan…
– No way… even men… *gulp*.
– Don’t throw my reputation onto the ground more than what it is already.
Moroha was about to lose his mind and so he tried to grab his head but he couldn’t because Maya and Kamekichi were clinging to him from the left and right.
– The men’s dorm is fun and lively every day desu. I’m truly glad to live here desu.
– Maya… please give me half of your toughness…
– If I’m abandoned by Haimursan, I feel like I won’t be able to get married for the rest of my liiiiiiiiife.
– The misunderstanding will only get worse so be sileeeent.
After that──
Due to his hard work, the suspicion of Moroha’s「flirting with men」could be cleared away in three days.
However, and for some reason, the suspicion of being a「womanizer」didn’t clear away no matter how hard he tried.

– Kammie’s Senpai acting was rough. It’s usually that though.
– Only one person was at a different level desu. It’s usually that though.
– He’s a waste as a Kuroma. His Dark Arts aren’t that good.
– He’s an actor, so I think he can live as a pro nanodesu. The days of holding back everyone from success on the battlefield will be over desu.
And──
Moroha, and Maya, who were completely impressed by the play starring Kamekichi, walked while exchanging their thoughts.
They linked their hands and went down the corridor.
His break time was almost over. He had to go back to the home economics room. The atmosphere inside the school building had calmed, there were many presentations of cultural clubs and quiet theatrical pieces.
In the middle of that, Moroha took interest in a corner he found where a crowd of people was gathering.
He didn’t have much time, so he only stopped and looked at it from a distance.
Because the short Maya jumped repeatedly, blocked by the crowed, he gave her a ride on his shoulders.
The one at the center of the crowd was──Momo-senpai aka Haruka.
She put a chair and a desk in the hallway and sat in it.
She put a chair opposite her and waited for a customer.
Come to think of it, Haruka had declared that in addition to the coffee shop ran by Strikers, it was absolutely necessary to carry out class performances. Probably this was that performance.
Haruka seemed to wanting to disappear for some reason and shrunk her shoulders and back.
– Is this fortune-telling nanodesu?
Maya muttered. Moroha felt it was that for a moment, but it wasn’t.
– Hora hora! There are no more challengers?
The one standing next to Haruka──a female Senpai──probably a classmate of hers, issued provocative words towards the crowd.
– Then here. It’s my turn.
A male Senpai with good physique jumped out of the crowd and sat down, facing Haruka.
He put a 500 yen coin on the desk.
– Don’t lose!
– Don’t lose your nerve!
– Show the pride of the third years!
The voices he didn’t understand whether they were cheering or hooting surged from the surroundings, encouraging that third-year boy.
The female Senpai next to Haruka hit Haruka’s shoulder and,
– I wonder about that? Our Momochi is a Strikers’ Elite! An Amazon who became B-Rank in two years!
She provoked them even more with a theatrical and hateful tone of voice.
– An amazon…?
Haruka shrunk, appearing to be even more embarrassed.
Seeing her confidence fall, the third-year boy carved a ferocious smile on the corners of his mouth.
He rolled up his sleeve, showed off his thick arm and put it on the desk.
Furthermore, it slowly wore a dark gray prana.
Haruka also put an arm wearing blue prana on the desk while still being curled up.
– Then, are you both ready?
The provoking female Senpai put their hands together as if she were the referee.
Arm wrestling.
The third-year boy glared at Haruka, his adversary, with dangerous eyes,
– I’m going to find out how amazing you Strikers are. When it comes to sword VS sword, I have a 1 in 10,000 chance of defeating you. But if we only use《Strength》, then I’m proud to say that’s enough for me. I won’t lose to you whose only pride is speed.
He declared with the full dignity of a senior.
Suddenly, loud applause surged from the curious onlookers.
Haruka just curled herself up more and more.
– Readyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy…
The female Senpai, who acted as the referee, shouted in a high-pitched voice.
The curious onlookers suddenly calmed down and watched over, holding their breaths.
The third-year boy bared his fangs and Haruka, his adversary, hung her head.
– Gooooooooooooooo!
And the sign of the beginning.
The third-year boy opened his eyes wide and mustered all his strength.
The back of his hand was already stuck to the desk.
It was abruptly knocked down.
– The winner is Momochiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii Harukaaa!
The female Senpai, who acted as the referee, hugged Haruka and extolled her victory.
Stirs and cheers broke out form the curious onlookers.
The defeated third-year boy stared at his right hand as if he couldn’t believe it.
– Now now, who’ll be the next challenger〜? The price is 500 yen! Amazing, the one who defeats this Amazon will won a meal ticket worth 5,000 yen!
– Dammit, how can nobody defeat her!? She’s no more than a B-Rank!
– That girl… I was told that Momochi-san was nothing but really fast…?
– As expected, Strikers are nothing but monsters…
– B-but, the Senpai just now maybe was nothing out of the ordinary?
– alright. I’m the next.
The curious onlookers talked to the ones closest to each other, still excited.
The big uproar was that much.
Seeing that, Moroha was amused.
(That’s a nice business)
He didn’t know who came with the idea in Haruka’s class, but this seemed to be popular.
To begin with, being able to have a match with a member of Strikers aroused their competitive spirit.
Moreover, it was going good because Haruka was considered「to be only good at speed」.
– Can I win in a power game?
The situation was so exquisite he felt he was a customer.
Maya, who was riding Moroha’s shoulders, clapped and cheered very excited.
– Momochi-onee-san has gotten very powerful without me even realizing it desu!
– Well, certainly Momo-senpai is a training demon and her power has increased little by little too. That victory was purely by means of speed.
– Is that so nanodesu?
She innocently asked and nodded.
It was clear to Moroha’s eyes.
Her trick was easy to read. After she received the「Ready go」 signal, Haruka quickly moved and knocked down the arm within 0.1 seconds or 0.01 seconds before the opponent put their strength into their arm.
Exactly like lightning speed. The true worth of Speed Star.
Additionally, it could be said that this was the fruit of her labor to find a way to use her speed every day to not be defeated by simple power.
Yes.
Moroha, who often accompanied Haruka in her training and gave her advice multiple times, knew how much she had given her best earnestly.
Ever since they met for the first time, Haruka──
