My stepmother's burden is my ex-girlfriend.

The four white fruits lined up in a row, bouncing and jumping like water balloons, then returning to their original shape.

What amazing courage! By the time we noticed, we had already transformed into machines that moved our chests up and down in sync with the bouncing of our chests.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting—"

As Dongtou spoke leisurely, she knelt down in front of us. Just as she bent her upper body, I saw her bell-shaped mound of flesh stretch downwards slightly.

Beside her, Asuhain used a wooden bucket to scoop hot water from the bath and splash it on her. The hot water droplets, reflecting the light, illuminated her petite figure.

"Hey."

Dongtou did the same. When she lifted the bucket to shoulder height, I inadvertently saw one of her breasts being supported by her upper arm, softly flattened.

I looked up from the bathtub and watched as hot water droplets trickled down the lower half of my fleshy mound, falling in beautiful arcs that seemed like a math problem.

"...? What's wrong...?"

It seems that Higashi-san and Asuha-in-san have finally noticed our reaction.

(Illustration 008)

However, I couldn't say a word.

I can only admire and praise the miracle of the human body.

Until the one and only... brave soul who dared to challenge this miracle appeared.

"Dongtou, classmate..."

This groan-like cry came from Xiaoyue's mouth.

Xiaoyue knelt down and moved closer to the student at the east end, her expression unusually serious as she spoke:

"May I touch... your bare breasts?"

"Huh?"

Dongtou was puzzled and blinked repeatedly.

As for Xiaoyue, she looked at Dongtou's fruit with an admiring gaze and said:

"I'm making this request not out of lust... but because my... my human intuition tells me that if... if I could just touch it, something might change...!"

"What do you mean by 'certain things'?"

"Things that haven't changed to this day...fate...destiny...life...are predetermined by some principle beyond the reach of human wisdom..."

“Yes, yes…”

I sometimes think that Xiaoyue might be a genius.

Coincidentally, I was thinking about the same thing at the same time.

"Dongtou, I want one too..."

"Huh! Yui-chan wants some too?"

"Just... just let me poke you once! Just with my finger! Okay!"

I quickly lowered my expectations, but that only made the whole thing more obscene.

"Lanlan... come here for a second."

"……don't want."

"Please! Just for a second!"

"I refuse! I have a bad feeling about this!"

"Lan...could you come here for a moment?"

"Even the president...!"

On Asuhain's side, the believers have also started worshipping the gods.

Scenes like those often seen in comics... like "Huh! Have your breasts gotten bigger?!" don't exist in reality.

In reality... the scene would be far more solemn and sacred.

Enormous objects often evoke people's faith. Just look at the colossal Buddha statue built in Nara; this is self-evident. Therefore, when facing enormous breasts, one must touch them with the appropriate sense of faith.

Dongtou hesitated for a long time with a troubled look on his face, and finally looked away shyly.

"Since...since you insist on this so much..."

It has been approved.

Xiaoyue and I exchanged a glance and nodded in acknowledgment.

"Then..."

"One person, one side."

“Eh!”

I went to the right, and Xiaoyue went to the left; we each reached out our hands.

I gently placed my fingers on the pale skin that was damp with hot water. I didn't apply any pressure at all. But with just this small movement, my fingertips sank softly into the water.

"...Oh..." "...Oh oh..." "Oh oh, oh, oh oh oh..." "Oh, oh oh oh oh?"

We couldn't help but exclaim in a mix of emotion, amazement, and bewilderment.

What is this... what is this? What is this?!

It can sink and deform indefinitely, yet it is incredibly elastic, capable of powerfully returning to its original shape.

It turns out that beauty can be found not only in appearance or sound, but also in touch.

"Ah...! A little gentler...—Oh no! My nipples! No, no!"

Yes, you shouldn't touch the nipples. I won't go into too much detail.

Because the Ten Commandments of Moses seem to say that one should not worship idols.

It's enough to know that they are "both beautiful and cute".

"...Sigh..."

I couldn't help but let out a bigger sigh than when I was soaking in the hot spring.

"I feel like my life is about to change from today onwards..."

I gazed up at the ceiling, lost in reverie. Xiaoyue, sitting beside me, was passionately patting and rubbing her own breasts with the same hands that had been kneading and squeezing Dongtou's body. She was trying to transfer some kind of factor associated with those beautiful, large breasts to herself.

Dongtou looked exhausted and used the brownish-red hot water to cover her sacred body.

"Sigh... Is this how girls always act...? I thought it was just something out of a manga..."

"No, not at all..."

"I don't know...?"

Xiaoyue and I kept looking around. When our eyes wandered to another spot, we saw Asahi Yeyuan being caught by Asahi-senpai, and then being groped all over by the stern-looking president, Kurenai, who looked like a forensic investigator. Asahi's face turned bright red.

This shouldn't happen to ordinary people... but we're all a little unusual, aren't we...?

"Now I finally understand. So Mizuto-kun was actually being quite polite~"

“Huh?”

Upon hearing those words, Xiaoyue and I both looked at Dongtou.

"Wait...wait a minute. What do you mean? Could it be...?"

"Dongtou-kun, you've been touched by him? By Irito-kun..."

"Yes, I have."

That guy... he put on such an indifferent face! He even said we were just friends! Turns out he only touched my breasts without hesitation!

"Ah, but that seemed more like an accident. He let go immediately."

"An unexpected surprise...is that so~..."

"He's just a lucky pervert! That's funny!"

I've lived with him for over six months, so how come this kind of accident never happened? Even if we include the year and a half we've been dating, how come I've never let him touch my breasts?

"We're together almost every day, so it's not surprising that an accident or two might happen—I didn't take it to heart."

I told you nothing ever happened between us!

"...Dongtou, I want to ask you—"

—Have you ever seen Shuidou naked?

I almost said those words, but I swallowed them back.

That was close! I almost used some random thing to pressure them. I almost unnecessarily stirred up another controversy.

...But she definitely didn't see it. Hmm. I don't believe they're so advanced that they had the chance to shower together. So only I, only I saw the important parts of the sink... Hehe, hehehehe...

"If that's the case, then Minami-kun is one too, right?"

Dongtou let her large breasts float fully in the hot water, so that only the upper part of them was exposed like the back of a whale, and said:

"You and that scoundrel are childhood friends, and you even live next door, right? There must have been one or two lewd incidents, right?"

"ah."

I had actually asked the question—and a chill ran down my spine.

Regarding Xiaoyue and Chuanbo's affairs in that area, I've deliberately avoided asking about it to this day. They actually lived so close, and for over a decade, that it's only natural that an accident or two would happen. Or perhaps it wasn't an accident, but rather intentional... But I don't have the courage to confront my friend about those explicit and blatant things.

I immediately tensed up and stole a glance at Xiaoyue's face.

Xiaoyue grinned, revealing a meaningful smile.

"Well... what do you think?"

"I think only someone who has experienced something similar would answer like that."

"That's true~ But you wouldn't want to hear it. Like when I bumped into that guy... in those awkward situations, I always pretended not to notice—and stuff like that."

"Almost everything has already been said."

What, what do you mean? What kind of awkward situation...? Please be more specific!

I was thinking this to myself, but Dongtou just said in a casual tone:

"Nan, this is just my personal feeling..."

"Um?"

"It sounds like you've had that kind of experience before?"

I've frozen.

I'm all alone. I'm soaking in a hot spring, but I'm freezing.

experience.

I can at least understand the meaning of those two words.

Perhaps it was the liberating feeling of being completely naked that allowed him to cross boundaries he wouldn't normally dare to. Areas we unconsciously considered taboo were now being stepped into by Dongtou.

Of course, I did consider it. Xiaoyue gives me advice on dating in every way, as if she has some dating experience, and besides—there's a guy who's so close to her, it's impossible for me not to be suspicious.

If it were me, and I were dating Mizuto while also living with him—something would probably happen sooner or later.

I pressed my hand against my chest, which was pounding wildly in the hot water, and stole a glance at Xiaoyue's expression.

"Experience, huh...?"

Xiaoyue smiled somewhat troubledly and spoke.

Her answer was—

"■■ Ah."

--Is it "there was" or "there wasn't"?

I've decided to keep this answer a little secret between us.
