CH 7

“…”

I was simply captivated.

Hisui Hououin, who was right in front of me, looked so young that her beauty did not make me feel her age at all.

Even though I said it in my dreams, she looked like a university student… or at least in her twenties, no doubt about it.

“Um…?”

I turned back because I was suddenly talked to, but for some reason she was spaced out, and now it was my turn to tilt my head.

It was just like when I first saw Shirayuki before, and even the expression on her face made me wonder how similar they were as mother and daughter.

“I see. This is who you are… Fufu, Shirayuki, you were hiding things from me.”

“Is something wrong…?”

“No, it’s nothing. Back on topic, is this your first time in a place like this?”

“Yeah, right… Well, I’m trying to squeeze this body.”

I mouthed as I touched my stomach, which was still being laughed at by the people around me all the time.

Hisui chuckled and it seemed that she didn’t have any intention of making fun of me, which was strange.

(… She’s hot! The eroticism that I can feel from her in real life, the term “seductive witch”, a woman of million desires, fits her well… or so I remembered.)

But why is she here?

Basically, all the events with Hisui were either at Hououin’s household or at restaurants, such as when they went out to eat… I am sure there was no description at the gym.

“I guess that means you have a lot to look after. That’s great.”

“Oh…”

Hisui did not make fun of me at all and praised me instead.

The way she smiled at me was similar to Shirayuki’s, and I realized once again that Shirayuki and Hisui were mother and daughter.

She then told me to wait for a moment and went to the counter to talk to a lady.

(… What’re they talking about?)

Then, after waiting for a while, Hisui came back.

“You’re going to use it, aren’t you? I’ve already paid for the money, so come on in.”

“… Eh?”

“Let’s start with a simple exercise. I don’t mean to force this on you, but I think swimming in the pool might be a good idea.”

“O-okay…”

I think I have heard that swimming is indeed an effective way to lose weight.

However… It would be a little awkward to show this ugly body to many people, but I guess I can’t be bothered.

“It’s okay, I’ll be there for you— hard work should be rewarded, and it’s outrageous to laugh at it. Have confidence.”

“!!”

Those words gave me courage.

Or rather, I scolded myself for caring now and objectively thought that I was not Arashi.

“Thank you…”

“It’s okay. I’ll wait for you then♪”

With that, Hisui waved her hand and headed for the changing room.

… Does that mean we’re going to meet at the pool? She said she’s waiting… Hisui in swimsuit… she might be wearing the gym designated swimsuit, but needless to say, my dirty mind kicked in here.

Instead of running away, I got myself a swimsuit and went to the pool.

“… Haha.”

“Sumo wrestler?”

“So big!”

“Hey, don’t!”

Yeah, you can say all you want!

It’s not that I’m as big as a sumo wrestler, that’s rude… Well, even if it’s not, my belly that sticks out is really unsightly… haah.

“Over here!”

“… ohh.”

Hisui called me, waving her hand with a flutter.

She was at the pool before me, showing off her body that attracted the attention of not only men but also women.

Her swimsuit clearly revealed the lines of her body, and her large b*****s and buttocks were beautifully curvy… Some guys seemingly had been stuck in the pool because they were too enchanted with her pheromones.

“Hello…”

“Do some simple stretching. If your legs cramp up, you’re in trouble.”

I did as I was told and after stretching I went into the pool.

My whole body was enveloped in a cool and comfortable feeling, this was the feeling of the pool, and it made me feel nostalgic.

(Ever since I became a high school student, I’ve been detached from not just pools but also the sea, etc.)

Basically, I only went to the pool for PE until middle school, and I didn’t have any opportunities to do so in high school, and it wasn’t nearby either, so I really had no connections even after becoming a college student.

“It feels good, doesn’t it?”

“Right? Oh, I remembered.”

“?”

Hisui approached me, parting the water, and held my hand, saying this.

“I realized that even though we met, I haven’t introduced myself yet. I’m Hisui Hououin, nice to meet you.”

“Oh, nice to meet you too. I’m Arashi Gundo.”

After introducing ourselves, we briefly talked about each other.

I knew, of course, that she was Shirayuki’s mother, and I also told her that I was a classmate of Shirayuki.

In the original story, Arashi never met Hisui at all, so it was quite an eye-opening sight if you look at the current situation from the side for a moment.

“Hououin-san”

“Just call me Hisui. It’s too long, don’t you think?”

“You say the same thing as Shirayuki.”

“I guess that means it runs in the family. Why don’t you try calling me?”

“… Hisui-san.”

“Good♪”

…Seriously, her every gesture is too s**y.

I’ve seen her whole body that was hidden inside her swimsuit, so much that… No, let’s not think about it, because I’m now desperately trying to keep the blood from going to my lower body.

(Don’t think, be mindless… dive into the nothingness!!!)

Desperately muttering this to myself, I erased my worldly desires from my head.

“Alright—”

It was time to go for a swim, or so I thought.

Suddenly, I felt a hand behind my head, and before I knew it, I was pulled into a soft embrace.

“?”

“Good luck, Arashi-kun. I’ll be rooting for you.”

There was no need for me to say who did… I was being hugged by Hisui.

After being gently stroked on the head, we parted ways and started swimming, and before I knew it, I became so absorbed in the swimming that I forgot about the earlier excitement.

“Phew… not bad.”

Moving my body is something that consumes physical strength, but it doesn’t seem to be too much of a burden on the body compared to running.

I mean, that’s not to say I’m denying running, but it’s more about finding a balance.

“But…”

I glanced at Hisui swimming leisurely.

I don’t know as much about Hisui as I do about Shirayuki, but I know that she married her after her late husband and expanded the Hououin group.

Is this gym possibly part of the Hououin chain as well because of that exchange?

“…”

Maybe I was looking at her for too long because Hisui stopped swimming and noticed me.

She chuckled and walked over to me, splashing the water, and then suddenly gasped and leaned on me.

“I’m sorry. My foot got tangled up.”

” … No problem.”

Hisui was hugging me with all her might, and her ample b*****s were distorting in shape on top of my body.

(What if Shirayuki and Hisui have both awakened as a yandere and come after me? There was nothing to fear, because I know they had the intention of drowning the person they love in themselves… Even if I’m not the protagonist, I can’t help but think this way…)

The moments with Shirayuki and Hisui were still vivid in my memory.

Their charm was ingrained in every moment, and it even made the player, who was the protagonist’s avatar, feel the same way.

“This feeling… ahh♪”

“Hisui-san?”

“… It’s nothing. I’m fine.”

Hisui shook her body and her cheeks turned red.

After saying it was okay, the sound of her breath, which was barely heard, was enchanting… Anyway, I was so fascinated that I gently stepped away from Hisui.

“Will you continue to come here?”

“That’s what I intend to do. Until I lose some weight.”

“That’s good. I’ll take care of everything at the front desk, so don’t worry about the money. And since you seem to be getting along so well with Shirayuki, let me do this for you.”

“… Is that okay?”

Certainly, I don’t have any money…

Hisui placed her hand on my shoulder, trying to comfort me like a mother would with her small child, and told me not to worry… I nodded.

After that, I swam to my heart’s content and had a great time chatting with Hisui.

“Well, Arashi-kun. Today was fun, wasn’t it?”

“It sure was!”

I never thought I would see Hisui after Shirayuki… Today was really a great day.

As we parted in front of the building and started walking away, I suddenly saw Hisui walking on the other side.

“… or is it my imagination?”

Just like before… Yes, that’s right.

I had felt a strong gaze, like the one I felt after parting ways with Shirayuki, but it seemed like it was just my imagination after all.

And so, I was able to meet Hisui, Shirayuki’s mother.

“At last, I found you♪”
