137. Bath

When I go into the bathroom, I start putting hot water in quickly. Putting hot water in the hot tub takes time, doesn't it? Then Yua came in a while later.

"I was washing my head and body first because it's going to take a little longer?

"Ugh, yeah."

That said Yua washed her head out. Then the hot water in the tub was stretched for a while so I wash my head and body as well as Yua before soaking it in the hot tub.

"Huh."

Close your eyes as you say. I feel the tiredness of the day melts when I take a bath. When I was soaking in the hot tub for a while thinking about that, I felt Yua moving or the hot water waving and I looked at Yua and she was trying to reach out to me or pull me in.

"What's going on?

"Huh!?

Yua grabs it because she thought she was surprised because I suddenly came calling and tried to pull in the hand she was stretching.

"Wow!"

"What's going on?

"Oh, well... Hey, I was just worried..."

"What?

……

When I heard it, Yua leaned over silently. Shouldn't you have heard from me? And think so. Maybe you mean the orphanage? And I thought that.

"... you don't have to do anything to talk about it, do you?

"Huh?"

And Yua came looking at me.

"Maybe, but you mean the orphanage, right?

When I heard that, Yua slipped away from her gaze and remained silent for a while, but nodded slowly.

"When I've been thinking lately, I've been making dark faces better, haven't I?

"Huh?"

"Well, there's no point in me being able to do anything, but if you're good enough to support Youre, maybe you can, so don't just push it?

"... yeah, thanks"

Yua, who said, was slightly leaning down. I gently stroked Yua's head like that.

Then after a while Yua grabbed my hand when I slowly let go of it, remembering that if I said so. I see Youre surprised by that.

"Well, you know, I want to be in touch with Lena... That, calm down, from... No, I don't think so.

And Yua looked up at me as she said that anxiously.

(or cute)

manage to swallow the word. I think that a lot when I look at Youre lately. Because in my previous life I adored my sister but in today's world I have been forced to live unrelated to that...... What do you mean? Maybe it's recoil, but it makes me want to adore Youre. Maybe there's something about Yua's situation... For once, I had a sister, but I couldn't stay with her for a long time because my position was subtle...

"... until we take a bath for now, huh?

When I said that, Yua seemed happy.

(I can kind of illuminate when you make me look happy just holding hands with me...)

And that's what I thought. Then Yua seemed happy all the time until she took a bath.
