Face wash milk
Yuigahama Yui quickly puts on her shoes, using the moonlight to guide her toward the family car’s parking spot.
The size of the vehicle is considerable, and Yuigahama Yui notices it clearly, though she needs to get closer to inspect the interior.
Inside the cargo area.
Kitagami Yoru has calmed down, and he doesn’t really care about what happened earlier.
Surprisingly, he only lets out a small sigh before Mrs. Yuigahama suddenly pulls him into her embrace, offering comfort with a pat on the head.
“It’s such a pleasant scent….”
Tense Kitagami Yoru doesn’t dare to move, staring intently at what’s before him with wide eyes.
His breath is almost tangible, as he gazes upon the two perfect white jade-like objects.
“Mom, did something happen to the car?”
In the next moment, Yuigahama Yui’s clear voice echoes through the thick car window glass.
The sound is muffled after passing through the window glass, but in this situation with Mrs. Yuigahama and Kitagami Yoru, it feels like a sudden thunderclap.
“Ha…Yui….”
She exclaims her daughter’s name, causing Mrs. Yuigahama to quickly look back at the car’s rear, simultaneously pressing Kitagami Yoru’s head forward.
A face wash comes out.
“Mom?”
Yuigahama Yui raises her phone, aiming it at the driver’s seat and walking over confidently.
The phone light reflects on the car window.
Honestly, it’s not very clear, and it’s quite blinding.
“Yui, what happened?”
Mrs. Yuigahama doesn’t get a chance to hear Yuigahama Yui’s words.
The moment the sound occurs, she starts and gasps.
“I’m asking you, is the car broken or catching fire?”
“I didn’t hear the car starting, so I came out to check.”
Yuigahama Yui explained and moved the flashlight away from her phone.
In the dark.
She couldn’t see what was going on in the car.
“Is the car broken?”
Mrs. Yuigahama slowed down slightly and then focused her attention on the sensation in her chest.
She lowered her head, seeing her own hands tightly gripping Kitagami Yoru’s head, pressed against her chest.
In an unthinking reflex, she released her grip, and her hands hung awkwardly in the air, staring at Kitagami Yoru:
“Umm…Kitagami-sensei…oh…ya…”
“Mrs. Yuigahama, nothing’s wrong, I’ll call a taxi for you.”
Kitagami Yoru took a deep breath, ready to shout his perfectly prepared excuse.
His thoughts were clear.
With that shout.
He brought Mrs. Yuigahama’s attention back.
“I see, drive carefully, goodbye.”
Yuigahama Yui showed no suspicion as she said her goodbyes.
After that, she quickly went into the house.
“Yui has gone…”
Mrs. Yuigahama turned a blushing, mature face toward Kitagami Yoru, exhaled a breath, and pressed her hands against her chest.
“You scared me, sister.”
Kitagami Yoru felt the lingering touch on his face.
“It was an accident!”
Mrs. Yuigahama suddenly opened her eyes, speaking with a forceful tone.
“It’s definitely unexpected… Could it be intentional? Hmm, well, I don’t know.”
“Maybe I got lucky.”
Kitagami Yoru joked to ease the awkwardness.
“You’re acting a bit too rushed. Sorry… Kitagami-san…”
“I’ll drive you home now.”
Mrs. Yuigahama blushed, but the dim lighting inside the car made it hard for even Kitagami Yoru to notice.
“Take a break, I’m worried about your sister’s mood.”
“Driving at night might be unsafe…”
Kitagami Yoru didn’t know what Mrs. Yuigahama was thinking, but he figured women like her wouldn’t want to talk about it.
“I’ll go out for a bit, maybe drive around the neighborhood?”
She asked Kitagami Yoru’s opinion while twisting the key and putting it in the ignition, stepping on the gas pedal lightly.
The car engine roared to life.
Yuigahama Yui watched TV inside the house and glanced at the outside.
“Want to go to the beach?”
Kitagami Yoru tilted his head, playfully probing Mrs. Yuigahama’s suggestion.
His tone was soft and playful, almost like a soft Lolita.
“You want to go to the beach?”
“Well… Okay, just for a bit.”
Mrs. Yuigahama kept backing the car while hesitatingly looking at Kitagami Yoru.
A few seconds later, she agreed.
After all, Yuigahama Yui was still injured and staying at home.
She finished backing the car.
Mrs. Yuigahama’s phone is on the holder, using navigation.
“The screen guard is your sister and Yuigahama-san…”
Kitagami Yoru whispers a sentence quietly.
On the map, from Kita-cho to Shinagawa District is quite a distance.
Actually, Tokyo’s city center has fast routes.
A round trip takes about fifty minutes and is faster than the train.
The Shinagawa District is by the sea.
“If it’s too late, your sister can refuse.”
As the car drives out of the courtyard, Kitagami Yoru reminds Mrs. Yuigahama a little.
“No problem, you make me want to see the sea too.”
Mrs. Yuigahama smiles and nods at Kitagami Yoru.
Whether your mood is happy, complicated, or bad, seeing the sea works for all.
“Then you’ll be back in the morning or night.”
Kitagami Yoru reminds him.
“Yui can take care of herself alone. It’s fine if I don’t come back.”
Because of Kitagami Yoru’s reminder, Mrs. Yuigahama is focused on driving and looking ahead.
The word “fragrant lips” was said in a slightly ambiguous way, as usual.
“Not coming back isn’t a problem?!”
Kitagami Yoru repeats the same thing with a slight change in his gaze.
The extremely intimate facial cleanser and original meat-colored stockings… today’s atmosphere between him and Mrs. Yuigahama is very subtle…..
“It’s all adult stuff… um… I’m still about three months away.”
“Maybe it was a slip of the tongue, driving without paying attention is normal.”
“Yes, it’s fine if you don’t go home tonight.”
Mrs. Yuigahama still didn’t realize what she had just said and continued her response.
“Ah… this…”
Kitagami Yoru couldn’t hold back a sound.
Glancing stealthily, he moved his gaze to Mrs. Yuigahama’s flirtatious expression and slowly…
He kept gazing at her endlessly.
“Is that a hint…?”
“Sister, you can’t stand loneliness…. gurgling sound.”
Kitagami Yoru’s heartbeat began to accelerate rapidly as his gaze lingered on a certain spot, not daring to believe what he was thinking.
After three or four minutes…
They passed the next red-green light, which led to the highway.
He hit the brakes suddenly, barely qualifying as an emergency stop.
Realizing it too late, Mrs. Yuigahama finally noticed something was off after such a long time.
She said she could stay home tonight and that not staying wasn’t a problem.
Heaven forbid…
“I think I’ll pass out….”
The ten soft, polished jade-like hands seemed to have the strength to crush the steering wheel as Mrs. Yuigahama twisted her stiff neck toward Kitagami Yoru.
In that instant, the eye contact between the two in the car made Mrs. Yuigahama instinctively feel that Kitagami Yoru’s gaze was off.
“Kitagami, you wouldn’t misunderstand… thinking I wanted to….”
“And said all those things… so tonight not going home…”
“Sister, you’re inviting me, luring me on… Sister, you’ve always been like this….”
“Old lady is lonely and ashamed of her lowly actions….”
Mrs. Yuigahama’s inner thoughts were already imagining what Kitagami Yoru was thinking now.
“Sis, the red light is starting to count down….”
Kitagami Yoru gently reminds her with a single word.
“Kitagami-san, I…I…”
Mrs. Yuigahama ignores the red light and is determined to clear up the misunderstanding.
Her brain struggles to come up with an explanation for what’s happened.
“Is it that I should bring it up……”
“…to resolve this misunderstanding….”
“Shoujo-sis, why are you thinking all these strange things?”
Kitagami Yoru looks at Mrs. Yuigahama and gently reminds her again.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Yuigahama turns her head to look at the red light and slows down by stepping on the accelerator.
Driving isn’t something you take lightly.
“Was that a slip of the tongue? I know what you mean.”
Kitagami Yoru worries that Mrs. Yuigahama is overthinking, and if an accident were to happen, it would be all over.
“No, no, sis, it was just a slip of the tongue.”
Mrs. Yuigahama feels a huge burden lifted off her shoulders and focuses on driving on the highway.
Under the night sky, the twin lights of the highway glow brightly.
Far away on the elevated road, green fluorescent lamps cast bright light to prevent drivers from getting distracted at night.
“Shoujo-sis, can I call you like this from now on? Okay?”
Kitagami Yoru knows Mrs. Yuigahama was just a slip of the tongue, but during the misunderstanding, his thoughts were anything but calm.
In that brief moment, he genuinely fantasizes about the lonely Mrs. Yuigahama wanting some excitement by seeking him out….
“Okay.”
Mrs. Yuigahama can’t think of a way to refuse Kitagami Yoru’s request.
There’s no resistance or aversion in her mind or emotions at all.
On the contrary…..
She directly calls out to her by name, “Kagami-san,” or “Kagami-sister.”
It’s getting even more intimate….
“Kitagami-sensei called her Yu, so I guess it’s Yuigahama-san?”
“And here they call me Kagami-sister. It’s just too……”
This comes from the daughter’s sense of guilt, born from Mrs. Yuigahama’s desperate need for watering, preferably excessive.
“It’s quite cold.”
Kitagami Yoru lowers half of the car window and drives at high speed, letting in strong winds that blow his hair wildly.
“Yeah, won’t he catch a cold?”
Mrs. Yuigahama shows a slight tension but answers immediately.
…..
About twenty minutes of driving.
Yuigahama, driving with Kagami Yoru, exits the highway and turns around at the steering wheel to head towards the beach.
“Eleven o’clock start.”
Kitagami Yoru checks the time on his phone.
About ten minutes more.
A faint, oscillating scent of sea breeze wafts through the car window.
Mrs. Yuigahama continues driving over the bridge.
The land on the other side of the bridge is the Seaside Park at the Port District.
“The scenery is lovely……”
Kitagami Yoru gazes at the distant horizon, having already expressed his exclamation.
The middle of the bridge.
Cars are slowing down and pulling over to the side, their lights flashing.
There’s a walkway on the bridge for pedestrians, but it’s not too crowded.
“Can I?”
She tosses a strand of hair aside and turns to face Kitagami Yoru, who smiles lightly.
She feels quite good about it.
“Yes, I just wanted to see the scenery.”
With few cars on the bridge, Kitagami Yoru steps down from his car and gently pushes the door shut before taking a big step onto the pedestrian path.
A waist-high railing stands there, with a cool breeze carrying a hint of sea fog.
The wind continues to blow steadily.
Looking out towards the sea, the horizon reflects a large golden moon in the distance.
Colorful Japanese lanterns float on the surface, becoming a unique point of light.
She turns around again.
Behind her is the bustling Tokyo at night, with its LED-lit buildings glowing warmly and elegantly.
“Do you think Yui has already gone to sleep at this time?”
Thinking of her daughter, Mrs. Yuigahama leans casually against the railing, creating a striking scene.
She takes out her phone and sends a message to Yuigahama Yui.
A reply comes in.
Kitagami Yoru glances at Mrs. Yuigahama, unable to look away.
It’s clear he wasn’t intentionally…
The way she shows off her figure is too special….
“You just crowded me….”
She recalls the panic Mrs. Yuigahama must have felt, as if it were a facial cleanser moment for him.
Kitagami Yoru takes a deep breath.
“I sent a message to Yui.”
Mrs. Yuigahama lightly smiled, her mood apparently good.
“Kagariya, I’ll walk for a bit.”
Kitagami Yoru nodded repeatedly, shifting his gaze from Mrs. Yuigahama’s enticingly mature expression to elsewhere.
“Enticing crime….”
“Horrible…..”
“I’ll accompany you.”
Mrs. Yuigahama also had nothing to do, and since she wanted to walk, she said.
“Is that really a slip of the tongue?……”
Someone else began doubting their previous assumptions but misunderstood Mrs. Yuigahama’s intentions.
Mrs. Yuigahama was referring to walking side by side, one in front and the other behind.
She didn’t say it outright or hint at it; just walk shoulder to shoulder!
Seeing Kitagami Yoru approach her side, she smiled faintly and began walking toward the end of the bridge, heading toward Seaside Park’s platform.
Mrs. Yuigahama pressed her lips together, momentarily imagining a wrong notion that she was on a date with Kitagami Yoru, feeling shocked and embarrassed in her heart.
“Kagariya, please take care of me….”
Kitagami Yoru looked toward the dimly lit lamps ahead but focused entirely on the woman beside him, Mrs. Yuigahama, his classmate’s mother.
“Sister is also happy.”
The late autumn wind stirred a few strands of hair at her temples; she smiled, brushing them back with her slender fingers.
“Not only that, I wouldn’t feel… like some trickster calling me ‘sister’ on a young boy….”
“I would feel very happy……”
They walked toward the end of the bridge for over three hundred meters.
A chill gradually enveloped Kitagami Yoru and Mrs. Yuigahama.
Take a break.
On the way back, they kept quiet.
“Take me home, I should be heading home soon.”
Kitagami Yoru got into the passenger seat first, rubbing her arms to warm up.
“Ah… ah… ahem……”
With her mouth still open, Mrs. Yuigahama sneezed and nodded as she got into the car.
Buckle up.
Start the engine.
The time was approaching midnight, 11:51.
By the apartment building.
The car turned off.
“Thank you, Mrs. Yuigahama, drive carefully on your way home.”
As Kitagami Yoru undid his seatbelt, he turned toward Mrs. Yuigahama to say goodbye.
“Well, goodnight, Kitagami-san.”
Mrs. Yuigahama closed her eyes and sighed, recalling the whole day.
“Ugh, if the car breaks down, Mrs. Yuigahama could stay at my place…..”
After getting out of the car, Kitagami Yoru randomly thought about things, pushing the door shut.
Inside the car, Mrs. Yuigahama opened her eyes and lit a cigarette.
No reaction…….
