Chapter 94: Sorting Order is Very Important
Rika’s mood did not improve. She puffed up her cheeks and turned away when I tried to talk to her, so she didn’t even give me a chance to explain myself at first.
“Hey Yuya-kun. Can you dry my hair for me? I really wanted her to scrub my hair, but she didn’t, so let’s dry her’s instead. Right?”
In spite of this, Kaede grabbed her arm and demanded something like this, which made Rika-chan’s mood even worse.
“Hmph! Rika-chan can do it herself! Kaede-onee-chan is such a spoiled brat! She’s such a pain in the a*s!”
Since she got angry, I thought I couldn’t retort to it strongly. In hopes of lifting her mood and spoiling her, I received a hair dryer from Kaede and put my hand on her small shoulder.
“I’ll dry you off, sit down. If you don’t hurry, you’ll catch a cold.”
“Yuya-onii-chan! Yeah! Thank you!”
A smile blossomed on Rika-chan’s face, and she plopped down on the sofa and shook her shoulders with excitement. I laughed at the sudden change in her mood and gently dried her moist, wet hair with the hair dryer.
“Yuya-kun, Yuya-kun. Aren’t you being unfair to Rika-chan? You didn’t do anything for me!”
“Kaede-onee-chan is loved by Yuya-onii-chan enough, so why not! Even Rika-chan really wanted to take a bath with Yuya-onii-chan… because Kaede-onee-chan would be such a fool…!”
The two girls conversed in a loud voice, trying to keep up with the sound of the hair dryer. Well, Rika-chan was right, Kaede was more foolish than ever in the bath, and I didn’t think she was mature enough. I’m also as guilty as someone for not being able to reject it and getting drunk on the sweet air.
“That’s why! Tomorrow, Kaede-onee-chan, you’re going in alone! Don’t get in the way of Rika-chan and Yuya-onii-chan!”
“N-no, I can’t! I can’t accept that! Yuya-kun, you want the three of us together, don’t you!? It’s fine, right!?”
I weighed the arguments of Rika-chan, who looked back at me like a cute child in retrospect, and Kaede, who clinged to me with dried tears in her eyes. The answer was obvious.
“…Let’s cool our heads a bit, Kaede.”
“Yuya-kun! No way…”
“Yes! That’s my Yuya-onii-chan!”
Rika was jumping in joy and Kaede was kneeling on the ground in devastation. Their contrasting reactions looked like a comedy to the casual observer, but I’m sure I wouldn’t survive if we did that. Specifically, the three of us taking a bath together.
“Uu… .fine. I’ll be patient tomorrow. Tomorrow. Only tomorrow.”
“I know you repeated it because it’s important, but I’m not going in with you every day early, okay?”
‘Gahhhh!’ said Kaede, who turned even more depressed as I spoke. Don’t get me wrong, we didn’t really go in together every day. Sometimes. Yes, sometimes. About once a week.
“Yuya-kun has become mean… I’m sad, so I’m going to go to bed first…”
“Make sure you dry your hair and brush your teeth first. And don’t doze off without it.”
“Ugh… the calm advice from Yuya-kun is soothing to my heart…”
After saying ‘I understand,’ Kaede left the living room with a staggered and unsteady walk.
“…Really, Yuya-onii-chan and Kaede-onee-chan are so in love. It’s like mom and dad.”
I’ll take that as a compliment, Rika-chan.

After drying Rika’s hair, I quickly blew out the moisture with the hot air from the hair dryer. It didn’t take much time because she was almost half dry, so we went to the bathroom to brush our teeth.
Once that was done, all that was left was to get into bed and go to sleep, but that was the most difficult part, along with the bath. The question was, in which order should we sleep?
“Of course Rika wants to be next to big brother Yuya! I won’t give it up to Kaede-onee-chan!”
“Please don’t fight, please don’t fight.”
If Kaede sulks, it would be pretty scary to imagine what would happen after Rika left. I mean, I wonder if my reasoning would be able to hold out.
I opened the bedroom door, hoping that Kaede would have cooled down and regained her high school composure in this short time.
“—Hey, Kaede. I was wondering, where are you sleeping?”
“Heh. Can’t you see that?”
“Yeah. I know. I know it’s my pillow that Kaede’s face is half-in right now. What’s the matter with you?”
Kaede buried her face in the pillow again, as if she couldn’t hear my cries. Wait! Don’t blatantly take a deep breath and try to smell me! If it smells weird, I’ll never be able to recover!
“Mmm…it’s okayyy. I love the smell of you, Yuya-kun. Ehehe. I’m so happy.”
“…Hey, Yuya-onii-chan. That’s what this is, isn’t it, so we can have a wrestling match? It’s a challenge to Rika-chan, isn’t it?”
“No, it’s not. It’s definitely not a challenge.”
I stalled Rika, who was about to ring in the bed with her light-depleted eyes. Now, what do we do about this situation? I don’t have to think about it.
“If Kaede won’t move, I’ll let you use my pillow. Rika-chan, come next to me.”
I gave up on retrieving the pillow and let it take Kaede’s place. And next to her, that was, between Kaede and me, I invited Rika to join us.
“I’ve always wanted to sleep like this, the three of us side by side, in the shape of a river. Rika-chan, let’s sleep tightly together.”
“Uh, yeah…”
Kaede hugged Rika without asking any questions. As soon as she got into the futon, her battle mode faded away and she started to get nervous. It was impossible to get out of this situation. I’m not sure how many people could resist the warmth and softness of Kaede’s supreme touch. I have no intention of letting anyone else experience it, though.
“Fufu. Good night, Rika-chan.”
“Fuuunyu… good night…”
She must have been exhausted after a day of frolicking and getting lost. It didn’t take long for Rika to leave for her dream.
“Good night, Yuya-kun.”
“Thanks for the day, Kaede. Good night.”
The long day was finally over.
