Tanuki Rise of the Yokai Clan

Chapter 226: He is her first

Chapter 226: He is her first

In the end, Tamazuki lived with Fubuki and Tatsumaki.

Their house was quite huge and had many rooms, so even if he joined, it didn't really matter.

Though...

"Is it really okay?"

"Yes, you don't need to worry. Just live with us."

Even though this was different from her original idea, Fubuki felt that this wasn't bad when she thought she could live with him under the same roof. The only problem was her older sister.

"Is that your only luggage?"

"Yes."

His luggage wasn't much, only a few clothes, game consoles, and little camera equipment.

"Camera?"

"I work as a photographer."

"You... what? Why didn't I know that?"

"You didn't ask."

"........"

Yet, Fubuki and Tatsumaki started to imagine how Tamazuki worked so hard at night while studying during the day alone; even so, he didn't seem sad and even full of optimism about his future. This kind of confidence... even if he had nothing now, they believed that he could become successful in the future.

Still, his items were too minimal, so...

"Let's go out! I will buy you some necessary daily items!"

Tatsumaki overbearingly said with a nonchalant attitude.

What was this?

A domineering president?

"Good idea! Let's get some clothes for you too!"

"....."

Was this the feeling of being taken care of?

Somehow, it reminded him of a story of a runaway girl who was taken care of by an older man. It was quite a famous story. Nevertheless, he wasn't in the position of the man but the position of the girl as he was taken care of by an older woman.

While he was speechless and felt slightly uncomfortable, he decided to accept it.

"It's okay. You don't need to pay for me."

"What are you acting cool for? You don't have money anyway. Just accept it."

"......."

His lips twitched with Tatsuki's blunt words.

If that's the case, then he might as well enjoy the feeling of being taken care of.

Still, he couldn't accept their kindness like it was nothing, so he said, "Thank you." His expression was sincere as if saying that he was grateful.

"...it's okay."

Tatsumaki pursed her lips, then said, "How about that one? Buy more."

"No, this is enough, but while it might not be much, how about I cook you all a dinner?"

"You can cook?" Tatsumaki looked at him with doubt.

"I live alone, after all, so I learn many things."

"Is that so?" Tatsumaki smiled. "But if it isn't good, then I will punish you."

"What do you mean by punishment?"

"Well... how about you call me, Onee-chan too?"

"......."

Calling Fubuki an "Onee-chan" wasn't a problem for him since they often had that kind of play, but it was hard to call Tatsumaki an "Onee-chan," considering her appearance and all.

"Good work."

"It's nothing." Tatsumaki felt her face burning, but then she saw him looking in a certain direction. "What's wrong?"

"Wait here."

Leaving those words, he left.

She frowned and saw him enter a convenience store before he walked out again while holding something.

"Do you like sweets or savory?"

"Sweet?"

"Then, here is a cheese bun."

"Cheese bun?"

Tatsumaki looked at the bun that emitted a white-hot steam on his hands.

The temperature was a little cold, so a hot bun was a perfect dish to consume now.

"...thanks."

"No problem."

While she felt a bit embarrassed, she took the cheese bun in his hands and held the wrapper, causing her cold hands to become warm. She opened her small, pink lips and took a small bite before her eyes shone.

Delicious!

Then, she looked up and saw him also taking a bite of a meat bun.

"Is that a meat bun?"

"Un, do you want to try it?"

"...is that okay?"

"Sure."

Like it was nothing, he moved his bun closer, so she could take a bite.

"....."

What did he mean?

Did he not care that they were going to have an indirect kiss?

Yet, somehow, she felt quite annoyed by his composure, so she took a bite of the meat bun like it was her greatest enemy, and her eyes shone since the juicy meat from the bun seeped deep inside the bun dough and burst out the moment she took a bite.

Then, she looked at him, hesitated, before asked with a blush on her cheeks, "...do you want to try mine?"

"Is that okay?"

"Wh-Why not?"

Then, excuse me."

She looked at him, opened his mouth, and took a bite of her cheese bun.

The two shared an indirect kiss, something that happened for the first time in her life.

He took her first time.

"...."

He then looked at Tatsumaki, who lowered her head with a blush on her face.

"...."

"Tatsumaki-san, let's go back."

"Un."

"Also..."

"Ye-Yes?"

"Let's keep this a secret from Fubuki, okay?"

Watching him show such a mischievous smile, she thought that Fubuki was so lucky.
