Aira immediately flinches at the cold feeling on her cheek.
They just got home and Ema cools the spot Aira got slapped with a wet towel.

 

"Does it hurt?"
"Yes... only a little since I wasn't hit too hard... More importantly, what about your stream?"
"I can't just stream while leaving you like this."

 

 

That sounds to Aira like she's getting special treatment, causing her heart to throb with excitement.
She doesn't really care about the pain in her bruised cheek anymore.

 

 

"...Thank you."
"Eh...?"
"...If you weren't there, Aira, I probably would have made the same mistake again... Because you were there, I could leave my lingering feelings behind... and move on."

 

When Ema pats her on the head, since Aira is simple, she almost takes it the wrong way again.

 

 

What does she mean by that?
Is it okay for her to assume there's some love mixed into Ema's words?

 

 

Feelings of love surge inside Aira and she puts her lips on Ema's without permission.

 

 

She holds back from putting her tongue in and separates her lips after a short time.

 

 

"...Aira?"
"As a reward... is it okay?"

 

 

A troubled smile spreads across Ema's face.

 

 

"That's fine with me... but are you sure?"

 

 

Aira nods and their lips come together again.
Aira sticks her tongue out and soon it indecently tangles with Ema's.

 

 

The sensitive spots in her mouth getting touched causes pleasure to course through her body and Aira rubs her thighs together as she loses herself in the kiss with Ema.

 

 

She wants to be drowned in these soft comforting kisses.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lying on the bed, Aira holds Ema's hand as if it's second nature.

 

 

In the end, Ema canceled tonight's stream so they're together in bed at a reasonable hour.

 

 

"Before, you asked me what my ideal situation for a kiss would be."
"Mm..."
"As long as it's with the person I love, I'm fine with anything."
"I feel the same way."

 

 

Aira grips Ema's hand harder.

 

 

Since she no longer has any excuse for kissing her, Aira wants to feel Ema's warmth as much as she still can.

 

She can still get Ema to hold her hand in order to ease her fear when she remembers that time she got attacked.

 

However, the truth is that Aira has already overcome her trauma and no longer has flashbacks of that incident.

 

Even so, Aira is a coward who continues using that as a pretext to hold Ema's hand.

 

 

"...I want to be with you forever."

 

 

Did she already fall asleep? There's no reply.
Relieved that Ema didn't hear her, Aira notices that her feelings for Ema are growing even bigger.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Like always, Aira ventilates the rooms while vacuuming.
She goes into the streaming studio and her eyes come across the framed photos that made Aira jealous each time she saw them.
The ones containing the woman that hurt Ema.

However, when she gets a closer look she lets out a gasp.

 

 

"This is..."

 

 

The photos in the frames have been changed.
One is of Ema with her friend, Komari.

 

Did they go to a famous theme park? They're both wearing cute character hairbands.

 

 

The other photo is the one Aira and Ema took at the large-scale projection mapping facility.

 

Since they were in a dim room, the picture isn't very good, but...

 

 

Ema and Aira are smiling in the picture.

 

 

Feelings of love rise in her, making Aira unbelievably happy.

 

After picking it up and returning it to its original place, she couldn't stop herself from grinning.

 

 

Even if it's not as a lover, that should mean she's becoming a bigger part of Ema's life, right?

 

 

At the very least, they are more than just mere cousins.

 

 

"Okay..."

 

Once again, Aira focuses her mind.
She wants the person she loves to love her back in the same way.

 

 

She wants to heal Ema after she has been hurting for so long.

 

 

She wants to protect Ema from anything that would hurt her and be happy together with her.

 

 

In order to turn that future into a reality, Aira will have to work hard on her approach from now on.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On the way home after stopping by a cafe after school with her classmates, Aira's eyes become glued to the loungewear in a shop's window display.

 

 

The light blue loungewear with pink lines looks fluffy and extremely cute.

 

The slippers in the set are designed for winter, perfect for the coming season.

 

Aira enters the shop, lured in by the display.

 

 

"They really are cute..."

 

 

Aira finds them near the entrance. Are they popular?

 

 

In addition to light blue, they also come in purple and pink. They all look cute.

 

"I recommend that one. They're very popular and we just got them restocked today."

 

 

The sales clerk's words made Aira even more eager to buy.
It is mysterious how hearing the words "very popular" and "restocked" makes them seem even more appealing.

 

Feeling it in her hand, the texture is soft. The light pink one is cute without overdoing it.

 

"They're fluffy and comfortable, so people have been saying it brings out the desires of couples to touch each other."
"I-I see..."
"They're warm, so they're perfect for the coming season."
"In that case... I'll buy it."

 

 

After all, the winter season is coming so buying this makes sense.

 

 

Aira has no ulterior motives at all, like wanting to be hugged by Ema while wearing this.

 

 

"...Maybe only a little bit."

 

 

Aira might be wondering just a little about whether Ema will touch her if she wears this.

 

 

Even when buying loungewear, Aira's thoughts are mainly focused on Ema.

 

 

Aira has been completely captivated by Ema.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After returning home, Aira immediately removes the tag from the loungewear she just purchased.

 

 

After trying it on, it goes down to just above her knees and the chest area is surprisingly left open.

 

 

"Am I coming on too hard...?"

 

 

Will Ema notice that Aira is wearing this to please her?
While her heart pounds, Aira sits on the sofa, waiting for Ema's stream to end.

 

 

However, there's no sign of Ema leaving the streaming studio even after an hour.

 

 

"Still not done yet...?"

 

 

Aira takes out her favorite body cream and smears it over her legs and arms.

 

She wants to smell as good as possible if Ema gets close to her.

 

With a pair of scissors, she slightly trims her bangs and puts on a subtle shade of lipstick.

 

 

After she finishes getting ready, Aira puts her feet on the sofa and sits grasping them while continuing to wait for Ema's stream to end.

 

 

Finally, another half an hour later, the door to the streaming studio opens.

 

 

"Go-good work."
"M-..."

 

 

Aira gets up from the sofa and stands in front of Ema.

 

 

Seeing Aira in her new loungewear, Ema happily takes notice.

 

 

"...Hm? That's really cute."
"It's fluffy so touching it is really comfortable."
"Wow, it really is. It feels so soft."

 

 

Normally, this would usually be the part where Ema hugs Aira to tease her.

 

 

However, Ema just touches it for a little bit and then moves her hand away.

 

Why?
Compared to before, Ema hasn't been touching her.

 

Back then, Ema even kissed Aira without hesitation.

 

 

"Why...?"

 

 

Ema said she couldn't touch her anymore because Aira is important to her.
Is she holding back because they're cousins or because Aira is in high school?

 

 

Gathering her courage, Aira spreads her arms.

 

 

"If-if you're feeling tired, how about a hug...?"
"...Aira, you're so cute."

 

 

Ema gently hugs her and buries her face in Aira's shoulder.
Her blonde hair tickles Aira's ear.

 

 

"...It's super fluffy."

 

 

Aira feels happy about this gentle embrace, but...
At the same time, she feels a bit sad that they won't have any physical contact unless Aira says something.

 

 

The truth is, she wants Ema to touch her.
She wants Ema to kiss her while teasing her like she did back then.

 

 

"What's wrong?"

 

 

Even with Ema looking at Aira with concern, Aira's eyes are locked on Ema's lips.

 

 

Her brain is flooded with wicked thoughts.
