食事の後は
And after dinner...
Kei: No way! No way!! Without a bath, I feel so dirty, I can't sleep! I'm gonna come, too!
Yumei: Kei-chan......
Tsudzura: Onee-san, you sound really immature, you know.
Kei: But, but, I've been hiking and all sorts of stuff, okay? My sweat it all dry, too, and I even fell off a cliff, you know? After all that, of course I'd wanna take a bath!
Yumei: Phew......
At my frantic insistence, the first who bends is Yumei-san.
Yumei: ......Sakuya-san, can I ask you to take care of her?
Sakuya: When it comes to Kei, you're soft as butter, eh, Yumei?
Yumei: You may be right. That's why I'll let you be the strict one. I don't want Kei-chan to hate me, after all.
Sakuya: Well, I'm not exactly earning her wrath for the hell of it, myself, you know.
With an exaggerated droop of her shoulders, Sakuya-san sighs.
Right now, are they thinking I'm such a lost cause of a girl that I'd hate someone just for being a little strict?
......I admit, I am a little selfish here and there, but...
Sakuya: Well, what can you do? Go on and get ready.
Kei: ---Eh? What?
Sakuya: I'll take you along, so I'm tellin' you to get ready.
Kei: It's okay? Really? You'll take me with you?
Sakuya: In exchange, I can't be held responsible for what happens if you bathe too long and pass out.
Kei: Not responsible...? For what?
Sakuya: Fufufu!......
Sakuya: 'Cause I'm gonna carry you home, as you are, without clothing you. Even if I get chased by the cops.
Kei: Wah, how horrible......
They say, on a journey, that you can toss embarrassment to the winds, but, that is quite a bit more than I care to experience.
