Magical Explorer Chapter 15

Hanamura House: Hatsumi's event 2

I wonder If a typhoon hit, will she canceled her visit?

I entered the futon while thinking about such a thing, unfortunately, the weather today is fine. I made eight Teruteru-bouzus (TLN: Rain warding dolls) and hung it upside down but doesn't look like it will be effective. Tearing it inside out and burn it might work better.

I open the window. The spring breeze blowing in felt a little cold, it's good weather to wake up to. I changed my clothes and left the house to do my daily running.

I chose the running course to be the one near the waterfall. I thought back to when I was guided around the city, the roads are filled with cars and there are a lot of traffic lights. But in the forest, there is almost no private owned land and pretty much no one around. I can run without worrying about the red light too.

"…..Ha Ha Fu Fu Ha Ha Fu Fu."

Originally, Takoto Kousuke is already physically fit. But maybe because of the running I have been doing every day, I feel like my physical strength is increasing. The next necessary thing is how to use my power with high output and how to move when I'm out of magic. When I dive into the dungeon, I won't know when the demons will attack after all.

I run silently through the barely maintained forest road. It will be a little bit more until I reach the place I was yesterday. Since there is a gentle slope before that place I have to put more strength into my legs more than usual.

On the way, when I reached the waterfall I saw Mizumori Yukine swinging her naginata. As always, she looks so dignified and somehow ferocious too. I stopped and looking at her for a while, but I soon turned my back away. I'm already motivated just by looking at her. Feeling such, I proceed to my destination.

After that, I ran for about an hour and return home. I head to the bath right away. Of course, I knock the door beforehand. People who never learn from their mistakes are just an idiot, an example being the eroge's protagonist. That applied to a third wheel like me too though…

After the bath, I walk through the cool corridor and head to the dining room.

"Morning, Kousuke-kun."

"Good morning, Marino-san"

The one standing in the kitchen with a cute ap.r.o.n is Marino-san. No matter how you look at her she still looks like she is still in her teens. I can tell that the breakfast she is making is fish dishes judging from the smell.

"Kousuke-kun is always so early, I wish Hatsumi would learn from you too."

 "I was just early for my daily running though. It's still a holiday so wouldn't it be fine to let Hatsumi-neesan sleep a little longer?"

Marino-san suddenly stops her hands and turns to face me.

"Hatsumi-neesan?"

Ah, I nodded.

"She asked me to call her like that……yesterday."

"Really now……fufu."

She let out a small laugh and dropped her eyes to her hand and continue cooking.

"Sorry, but could you go and wake Hatsumi up for me?"

"Eh, is that okay?"

"It's fine, you are her brother. Just enter her room and shake her a little, she will wake up immediately."

Marino-san is smiling happily and continue cooking. I still wondered whether it is really okay while I head to Hatsumi-neesan's room.

I walk up the stairs and knock on the room which has [HATSUMI] written on the room plate.

"Hatsumi-neesan? Are you awake?"

I knock again since there was no response.

"Hatsumi-neesan?"

I knocked on the door again but there was still no response.

Marino-san did say that it is okay to enter, right. I fearfully open the door.

Hatsumi-neesan's room is very simple with not much stuff inside. The room is very well organized and looks very s.p.a.cious. It was not to the level of my room whose luggage just arrived recently though.

"Nee-san. Umm, Hatsumi-neesan?"

I approach the large white bed and peek at her face from above. Her eyes are tightly closed and her long eyelashes are visible. Maybe because she stays inside most of the time due to her work, her nape is white and is very charming. I gulped down my saliva. She doesn't look like she will wake up anytime soon so I slowly reach my hand out to her.

"Hatsumi-neesan."

I place my hand on her shoulder and gently shake it. However, she still doesn't look like she is going to get up. I tried shaking her again, this time a little stronger.

"N, Nn."

Her thin lips moved a little, she started moving her body and slowly opened her eyes.

"Morning, Nee-san."

"…………..Morning."

She crawls out of her futon and stretches her body, her ample b.r.e.a.s.t.s got emphasized while she is stretching. Is she not wearing a bra when she sleeps? If she wore one I wouldn't be able to notice her cleavage like that. I can tell just by looking on top of her clothes.

My half-asleep sister still looks absent mind, suddenly she seemed to remember something and put her hand on her clothes.

(Not good.)

The moment her pretty navel is visible to me, I turned my back away.

"W, Well, I will head to the dining room first, okay."

I said so and leave the room as if running away. Apparently, she is really weak in the morning.
