Chapter 35: Impure purpose
"Then, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow, Akatsuki-san, Reina-san."
As Mizuto had promised to take Yume to visit the driving school since he wished to register, he brought her with him.
"See you tomorrow."
"Yes, see you tomorrow."
While Reina waved her hand at the two, Akatsuki stared at their figure without blinking her eyes.
"But they are really close, right, Akatsuki-san?"
"Ah, yes." Akatsuki nodded. "But isn't that normal? They are siblings, after all."
"It's a step-sibling, right?"
"Is there a difference?"
"Well..."
"We haven't experienced it ourselves, so we can't judge others, Reina-chan."
"That's true. I am sorry."
"No, you don't need to apologize. Still, that part of you who apologizes when you know that you are wrong is cute, Reina-chan."
"...I have always wondered about this, but you don't swing that way, right, Akatsuki-san?"
"Of course not. I am normal." Akatsuki turned her head in a certain direction as she narrowed her eyes. "Then, I will leave first. See you tomorrow, Reina-chan~!"
Watching Akatsuki, who had left, Reina felt a bit lonely, but then she shook her head and wished for the club to start as soon as possible. Still, if possible, she also wished for Mizuto to join since even if she tried to be strong, she knew it was hard to be alone.
Tasting the sweetness of the companionship, the girl was unable to forget its taste as she longed for it as she stood on her spot with a forlorn expression.
Yet, Mizuto didn't care about those things, and when he walked out of the school, Yume held his hand tightly, causing him to glance in her direction.
"Wh-What...?" Yume was quite nervous, and her hand became sweaty, wondering whether he hated this sudden skinship that she initiated. Holding hands might not be something new for them, but this time, she was the one who held his hand instead of the other way around.
So, did he mind?
Only Mizuto smiled softly and held her hand firmer as he walked.
Yume pouted, feeling a bit annoyed by how calm he was. Still, she didn't let go of her hand and held his hand even tighter as she let herself be led by him.
"So, which driving school are we going to?"
"Naturally, the closest one."
As he had done his research before, he decided to choose the closest driving school, which was located in the same ward as his house. After all, why should he choose the one that was far away?
Yume was still curious about which driving school he had chosen, so as the two entered the bus, they discussed this problem. As the two were inside the bus, it was quite empty, but there were also some students from the same school as them, but neither of them paid attention as they didn't know them and they didn't seem to be from the same class as them.
As for the matter of holding hands, Yume had already held back for so long, and there was no way for her to let him go, especially when her heart had been tested and shaken many times, such as when Mizuto got love letters and knew so many beautiful women on the second day of their admission.
This time, she wouldn't let him go!
"Sit inside."
After choosing where they would sit, Mizuto didn't sit immediately but let Yume sit inside near the window as he sat near the aisle.
Sitting side by side, Yume glanced at his side profile with a thoughtful expression.
"What's wrong?"
"No-Nothing!"
"How suspicious."
"Anyway, have you chosen what kind of motorcycle you are going to buy?"
She couldn't say that he was quite thoughtful and that he was a gentleman as it would embarrass her, so she quickly changed the topic of conversation.
"To be honest, I am hesitating. There are two motorcycles that I am interested in."
"Can you let me see them?"
"Sure."
Mizuto took out his smartphone, showing the pictures of two motorcycles that he was interested in.
"Those two. Husqvarna Svartpilen 401 and Vespa GTS."
"...the two of them are so much different."
Yume leaned against him so she could see the picture better, but as she saw the two motorcycles, she had to say they had two different styles, and it made her confused as to why he chose them, but she didn't deny that they were all attractive and nice.
"To be honest, I want to buy the two of them directly."
"...can you?" Yume was speechless.
"It's possible, but I am sure that Dad and Yuni-san might reprimand me for being a spendthrift."
"I can see that." Yume nodded.
"...shouldn't you support me here?"
"I am thinking about your good. You should choose one of them since it is wasteful to buy two." Yume was about to continue, but she noticed his gaze on hers. She blushed and quickly asked, "Wh-What? Why are you looking at me like that? Is there something wrong?"
"You are like a wife who complains about her husband's spending."
Yume snorted and lightly hit her shoulder against his. "Who wants to be your wife?"
"I never said that, right?"
"So, you don't want me to be your wife?" Yume looked at him worriedly.
"...." Mizuto.
Just what do you want me to say?
"Still, if I can choose one, I will choose the Vespa." Nevertheless, he decided to move on and made his decision.
"Why?"
"It seems more comfortable for the passenger to sit on the back seat."
Compared to the masculine motorcycle, which was quite uncomfortable to ride for a long time, he might as well think about the comfort as he knew that Yume would often sit in the seat along on the back seat.
Moreover, there was a storage box on the Vespa, which made it easier to bring many items.
As for why he didn't choose a motorcycle with a higher engine displacement, it was because his age wasn't 18, so even if he could get a driver's license for a motorcycle, it was only for an ordinary motorcycle, which was a motorcycle with displacement of more than 50 cc but no more than 400 cc.
It was due to this that his choices were somewhat limited, and only those two suited his taste.
Still hearing his reasoning, Yume stared at him for a while and wished to kiss him somehow.
"Stop thinking about something perverted, okay?" Mizuto felt helpless since this stepsister of his always thought about something perverted every day, but suddenly, he felt an intense pain in his waist. "Ow! Ow! Don't pinch my waist!"
Yume hummed and looked away from him, trying to hide her blush as his words hit the mark.
Rubbing his waist with a sigh, Mizuto thought of something, then said, "By the way, let's visit the department store after I register for the driving school."
"Huh? Why? Do you want to buy something?" Yume asked in confusion.
"Let's get you stockings."
"..." Yume.
"I tore many of your stockings after all. I need to take responsibility."
Whenever Yume stayed in his room, she would wear stockings all the time since she knew that he loved them, and he always tore them apart as the sense of contrast between her stocking-covered legs and bare legs was just captivating, and as a man, wasn't it normal to have the urge to tear a woman's stockings?
While Yume might not say anything, Mizuto knew that this matter had troubled her, but as she didn't want to trouble him, she didn't say anything. However, if this continues, wouldn't she go bare-legs later?
He might not mind since her bare legs were nice, but being in stockings would give many benefits to her legs, such as warming her up, easing the swelling on her legs, and many other things.
Moreover, as a man, shouldn't he be responsible for his actions?
"But... is that okay?"
Yume was happy, but she knew that stockings would definitely cost a lot of money. This concern of his definitely moved her, as her stockings were almost used up due to his brutal play.
"As your little brother, it is also my duty to protect my big sister's legs."
Yume snorted and pinched his cheek helplessly. "Pervert~!" His motive might be impure, but she was happy regardless.
He smiled and thought that this step-sister of his was cute, but then, he felt like he was being watched for some reason. He turned his head, looking around the bus, noticing some girls and women staring at him shyly, yet he knew that they weren't the source of this uneasiness of his.
"What's wrong?" Yume asked in confusion. She also noticed that many females were attracted to him, which made her hug his arm and move closer to show her possession of him.
"Nothing."
Was it his imagination?
Mizuto shook his head since no one could threaten him in this world, especially with the "Brainwashing" skill. Still, due to Yume's hug, which caused her softness to glue onto his arm, he put his bag on his right thigh as he was afraid that someone would notice his awakening.
