Tsuki Tsuki Vol 5 Epilogue

Epilogue

One summer day, I was sleeping pleasantly in my room, when my body was suddenly shaken around.
“Please wake up. It is morning already. Please wake up and pet my head already.”
“Mhm~ What? It’s summer vacation, so let me sleep in.”
“No. I hurried back for this very day. So please wake up already. Otherwise I will give you a kiss.”
“Yeah, do that. Whatever you want. I’m still sleepy.”
I replied so with a half-asleep face, then turned around and tried to get back to sleep. However,
“…*kiss*…”
I felt an indescribable soft and warm sensation on my cheek, so I hastily jumped up.
Upon that, there was Kaorun with flushed cheeks in front of me.
“Y- You, where did you come in from? Actually, when did you come back?”
“Earlier I came back from my special training and stopped by the Gogyou Mansion. There I placed a kiss on Hijiri-chan’s cheek and then came to see you, Shin.o.bu-sama.”
“…You don’t seem tired at all, even though you had that special training.”
“Yes, every single night at the special training, I was thinking of Hijiri-chan and you, Shin.o.bu-sama. Strangely enough that made me rather frustrated, so I quickly got the special training over with and came back.”
“Nothing less of a perverted maid.”
While somewhat astonished, I smiled faintly unmeant.
Because I noticed that Kaorun was calling Hijiri by her name now.
Therefore, I reached out my hand for Kaorun’s head like promised.
“Well done.”
I gently petted her head.
Upon that Kaorun was a bit surprised, but then showed a bright smile.
…As I thought, a smile made Kaorun cuter.
While petting Kaorun’s head, I thought so.
There Kaorun suddenly brought her face close to me
“As a matter of fact, I thought of a nice idea while being on my way here.”
“A nice idea?”
When I asked back, Kaorun nodded a “Yes” and brought her face even closer while continuing.
“Previously, when you were seduced by Hijiri-chan, you got a nosebleed and fainted, do you remember?”
“Yeah, ‘cause I’m an innocent boy.”
“…Certainly, your innocence does not comply with your appearance. Either way, you are Hijiri-chan’s partner. If you keep being that weak against females, it will interfere with the usage of the yin-yang technique. There my idea comes into play.”
“How?”
When I asked casually, Kaorun faintly flushed her cheeks and answered.
“My idea was, that I myself get you used to a female’s body, Shin.o.bu-sama.”
“…This is one of your usual jokes, right?”
“I am not joking around here.”
Along with her words, Kaorun slowly closed her eyes.
“For starters, let us start with a kiss. Go ahead.”
“No, even if you say ‘go ahead’, I can’t suddenly kiss you. I’m the type that values a good mood.”
“Stop acting like a girl.”
Kaorun opened her eyes and laughed lightly.
“Well then, I will make an appropriate mood now.”
“…It’s time for breakfast, so I’ll be going now.”
Replying so, I sprinted out of the room in an escape…

After that, I was caught by Nazuna and Elni to join in the radio exercise, so I was dragged out of the house by the two of them.
But upon in arriving in the park, it was still too early for the radio exercise, so Nazuna and I sat down on a bench together. There we watched Elni chatting with the elders.
Then Nazuna talked to me.
“Brother, seaside school is getting close. This year, you’re also going, right?”
“Since Machina insists on going.”
The seaside school (voluntary extracurricular cla.s.ses) in high school were held together with Nazuna’s middle school, so Nazuna was looking forward to it.
Last year, I trained with my gramps and I had intended to do the same this year, but Machina and Nazuna urged me strongly, so I decided to go to seaside school.
“Speaking of, will Gogyou-san come to seaside school too?”
“Who knows? I haven’t heard anything.”
“I see. I hope she comes too…”
“Yeah. I’ll ask her on the next occasion.”
We talked like that, when speaking of the devil.
I spotted the jogging Hijiri in my vision.
“Ah, it’s Gogyou-san.”
Noticing her, Nazuna raised her voice with “Gogyou-san~!” and Hijiri stopped. Then she faced us and came closer with a smile.
“Morning, Shin.o.bu-kun, Nazuna-chan. What a coincidence to meet here.”
“Yeah, indeed. …At any rate, are you jogging every morning?”
“Yes, I am. What are you two doing here?”
“Radio exercise!”
When Nazuna replied full of energy, Hijiri smiled softly.
“I see. That’s healthy.”
“Yeah! I’m prepared to die for health!”
“Isn’t that contradicting?”
I retorted to Nazuna and looked at Hijiri.
“That aside. Hijiri, do you have any plans next week?”
“…Eh? Could you be asking me out on a date?”
“No.”
I flatly denied the blushing Hijiri and continued.
“You know, there’s seaside school next week. Nazuna, Machina and I are going, but we were wondering what you were going to do.”
“Ah, I’m going there too. Since I have a job request at the place where seaside school is held.”
“Job? You mean as an exorcist?”
“Yeah, we got a request for an inquiry. There might be a devil hiding, so I have to investigate it.”
“I see. Working hard even during vacation, huh.”
When I made an agreeable response,
“…Is that true?”
suddenly the voice of a third person b.u.t.ted in.
I turned to it surprised, when my gaze fell onto my cla.s.smate Minami.
“…You, why are you here?”
“Ehm, I came to join my little brother on the radio exercise before my morning practice…”
While saying so, Minami approached us and asked with a serious expression:
