The massage, which until a moment ago felt only like dull pain, soon underwent a change.
(Huh…?)
It feels kinda good.
The pain softened, and he felt a tingling warmth. Every time Nanao pressed her thumb in with a gyu-gyu, that sensation grew little by little.
It didn’t take much time for it to turn into a spreading comfort.
(This is… no, but wait… even so, I… I won’t lose to this pleasure…)
Contrary to his mind trying to resist, sweet pleasure seemed to envelop Izumi.
Before he knew it, his blood circulation had improved, and his back was sweaty. Then, he no longer felt much awkwardness regarding this position that he had felt uncomfortable with just moments ago.
“Here we go, Izumi-kun. Gyu-gyu♡”
“Stop making those sound effects!?”
“Fufu. Let’s get to feeling good, okay~♪”
“Whispering in my ear whenever there’s an opening is prohibited!”
Nanao, working diligently on the massage, wiped sweat from her forehead with a phew.
As expected, massaging four people in a row seems to take a toll. The fact that his heart skipped a beat at her devoted figure wasn’t just because of the ulterior motive of their skin touching.
Izumi gasped and shook his head.
He desperately scolded himself for almost carelessly getting attached.
(I am──not giving in!)
The man, Sumie Izumi.
Even if he is exiled from his family home, even if he is always confused by Nanao.
He will prove right here that he is a man who does what needs to be done when the time comes…
“Gyu-gyu♪”
“Ah, stop pressing there, seriously stop! I won’t be able to come back!”
“Gyuuuuuu♡”
“Aaaah~~~~ don’t open new dooooooors~~~~~~~!!”
He felt the dignity of a man crumbling in inverse proportion to the sense of euphoria. He felt it quite directly. It was a realization on the same level as realizing that coffee milk after a bathhouse trip is the best. Was there really anything that could resist this?
E-Even so, Izumi would not lose.
It was time to show that he is not a man who will be swayed by Nanao forever. He would absolutely prove that he is a man who can stand firm right here!
──And one hour later!
Izumi had fallen into terrible self-loathing on the sofa!
“……What have I done.”
He was swept away.
Due to Nanao’s skillful massage, the bad things in his body were completely expelled, and he was jelly from the core of his body. He lay limply on the sofa, leaking only hot breaths.
And Nanao, with a satisfied smiling face, tilted her head theatrically.
“Oh my? Did it not feel good?”
“It was super refreshing…”
Rather, the guilt came precisely because it was an earthly paradise.
The fact that he was turned into mush by the techniques of a female classmate… is something he absolutely cannot tell the boys in his class. Especially if he told Satou or the likes, there would likely be a genuine danger to his life. Why did it turn into such a moody atmosphere from just a massage…
“Heave-ho,” he said as he sat up.
“Ah~. I feel like my body is lighter…”
“I’ll do it for you again, okay?”
“Ugh… P-Please treat me well.”
This is not good.
Izumi thought so.
Well, even if he thought so, he knew from experience that once he allowed it once, there was nothing he could do, so he no longer thought he could manage it anyway.
(Nanao might be suited for being a sports therapist or something.)
He thought that, but would it be a disaster if these mushy zombies were mass-produced every treatment?
Furthermore, the three beautiful girls were still sleeping the sleep of the blessed on the floor. Perhaps because there was a fluffy rug laid over the flooring (the one Hakua brought), they seemed to have carelessly succumbed to drowsiness.
“As expected, they might catch a cold like this…”
Izumi brought a down blanket for guests from the bedroom and tried to cover the three of them. However, their sleeping posture… seeing the situation where Meina was using Hakua’s chest as a pillow, and Kasumi was using Hakua’s thighs as a pillow, he hesitated on how to place the blanket.
Seeing that, Nanao smiled gently.

“Fufu. They are sleeping soundly.”
“Yeah.”
It is not “Yeah”.
He almost accidentally shouted a retort like “Are we newlyweds!?” from his throat, but his instinct realized this was something he must not say even if his mouth was torn open, so he stayed silent. If one were to say these three beautiful sisters were his daughters, he would be proud.
Instead, letting out a small sigh, Izumi spoke somewhat admonishingly.
“You, weren’t you kind of high tension today…?”
“Eh? Was I?”
Nanao feigned ignorance for a moment, but seeing Izumi’s staring gaze, she smiled wryly as if she gave up. Indeed, Nanao is always pushy, but today he felt her aggressiveness was even stronger than usual.
“Yesterday, when you were confessed to by Hakua-san, Izumi-kun’s face was bright red and you looked really happy, right?”
“I-I wasn’t that happy or anything…”
“But after that, you ate lunch just the two of you, didn’t you? Even though I also made delicious rolled omelet for Izumi-kun~?”
“You went somewhere with Meina, didn’t you…?”
Casual distance was closed on the sofa, and Izumi tried to scoot his butt away to escape. However, he was driven to the edge and easily cornered.
“But it can’t be helped, right? Hakua-san at that time was really cute. Even the kids in our class were all talking about the two of you?”
Indeed, at that time, the image of Hakua within Izumi underwent a revolution. Even now, a night later, it is vividly recalled, and just remembering it makes his heart pound.
“No, well, that is…”
When he mumbled, unable to affirm or deny, Nanao wore a faint smile.
Izumi recognized it. It was the so-called “Hunter’s eyes”. And whenever Nanao makes this expression, what inevitably follows is…
She brought her lips softly close to his ear and whispered sweetly.
“I felt just a little bit of jealousy, so I worked a little hard today♡”
“……!!?”
Trying to escape from the hand that was rubbing his thigh while she was at it, Izumi tumbled off the sofa. While landing spectacularly on his butt, he complained with a bright red face.
“Becoming Black in my house is prohibited!!”
“Eh? You mean it’s okay for me to spoil you more inside the house?”
“I didn’t say that!?”
“Fufu. You should just be honest already♡”
“I think I’m always appealing quite honestly though!?”
Thus, the paradise known as the substitute holiday for the sports festival ended with him being done in by Nanao.
💣💣💣
It happened that night.
Izumi’s apartment.
In the living room, for some reason, Izumi was sitting in seiza (kneeling). Before him, radiating an aura of anger, Kasumi was leaning back.
With a gaze as if looking at a pest, she spat out her first words.
“Pathetic.”
“Ugh.”
Izumi’s shoulders trembled with a start.
That single word… possessed too little information, yet there were too many things Izumi could think of. Frankly, after the interaction during the day, he had seen this future coming.
After that, the two of them went for lunch, went shopping, watched a new movie… spending the day like a full-course holiday date, and returned home past seven in the evening. As soon as he opened the front door and entered the living room, Gogogogo… a Kasumi-sama fresh out of the bath, emitting a rising dark aura, was lying in wait.
Kasumi, with a [💢] mark floating on her forehead, slapped her own palm pechi-pechi with a broken folding fan.
“Even if you were disinherited, is that the figure of a man who holds the blood of the Sumie family? Being swung around by a commoner woman, how comical.”
“S-Sorry. I always tell Nanao, but her sense of distance is a bit close…”
Kasumi twitched her eyebrow and softly lifted her right leg.
With that pure white leg fresh from the bath, she dexterously lifted the chin of Izumi, who was looking down awkwardly.
Forced to meet her gaze, Izumi flinched.
Dark emotions as if peering into the abyss… just how much anger was contained in those eyes? Only then did Izumi realize the gravity of the situation and shivered.
This was the figure of the heroine who would shoulder the global enterprise [SUMIE Group] in the future. Even if he is an unworthy older brother, she probably cannot overlook seeing him being swayed by a single girl.
(…For Kasumi, this might be something that influences the company’s reputation.)
Izumi finally felt ashamed for having lived so idly until now.
That’s right. No matter how much he was abandoned by his parents and kicked out of the house as good as exiled, nothing changes the fact that he is still living under their support. Even if he says he is “unrelated,” it doesn’t mean the world sees it that way.
Kasumi is probably fearing that this will roll in a bad direction. She said she came all the way to watch the sports festival, but that too is out of concern for the future of the company.
If his words and deeds were to have a bad influence on the [SUMIE Group]──suddenly confronted with such a fact, he felt as if his spine was straightened. Indeed, it is pathetic as Kasumi says. If this is his inherent nature, he thought again that it was truly good that his sister, and not himself, would succeed the group.
(No matter what insults and abuses fly my way, I will accept them willingly…)
With such determination in his chest, Izumi gulped.
But──.
