When I Saved a Lost Plushie, I Got Close to a Young Lady From a Yakuza Family
“I’m going to go get a wet towel ready, so Sagara-kun, be a good boy and wait for me, okay?”
Uruwashi-san patted me on the head, then took the bowl to the sink and headed for the changing room.
I watch her back with a dazed head.
The sight of her, with her seemingly ruthless and terrifying beauty, working so tirelessly for me seemed like a ridiculous dream I had on a cold day.
I wondered if Uruwashi was going to wipe my body for me.
I thought as I listened to the sound of water running from the faucet.
“Sorry to keep you waiting. Sagara-kun, can you undress yourself?
“By myself, can I take it off ……?”
I am aware of the situation once again when she asks me if I can take off my nightgown.
From now on, I’m going to take off my nightgown and Uruwashi will wipe my body? With a towel to wipe my sweat off?
I think frantically with a feverish head.
It is true that my body feels uncomfortable because of the sweat, and I would feel much better if she wiped my body with a towel.
However, Uruwashi would see me naked. That is nothing to be ashamed of. I am sure that my body temperature will inevitably rise.
Even if I put aside my feelings, it would be an abomination to have her touch the towel soaked with my sweat, as if I were defiling a goddess. It felt like a kind of desecration.
I came to a conclusion.
“It can’t be done. ……”
“I see, it’s impossible. What am I listening to?”
Well, it seems that Uruwashi has decided not to go through with it.
I’m sorry I even made you prepare for this, but here we go.
“I’ll have to undress you.”
Hnn!? What did you just say?!
Uruwashi-san puts her face to my ear from the side of the bed.
Her smooth silver hair falls to my shoulders, and the feel of her smooth hair caresses my chest through my nightgown. The sweet scent tickles my nostrils.
“Relax, okay? I’ll be gentle.”
Uruwashi whispers to me, and reaches her hand like a white fish into my nightgown.
She puts her hand on the top button, but then wriggles and kneads the button and nightgown together.
I had the impression that she had always been very efficient in everything she did, but it seemed that she was taking a little time.
After a while, the button came off and she released it.
“Sorry it took so long.”
Uruwashi-san’s translucent, china-like skin flushed red, and she muttered shyly.
All I could do was stare irresistibly at her.
Then, as Uruwashi unbuttoned each button, I felt as if something inside me was coming undone.
Maybe it was a sense of resignation, of surrendering everything. My embarrassment disappeared into thin air.
Uruwashi’s face was red as she finished unbuttoning and undressing me.
Could it be that she has caught my cold?
“Well, I’ll go wipe it off.”
Uruwashi-san said, “Excuse me,” and then she put a wet towel on my body.
The cool feeling almost made me scream, but I managed to hold it in.
“How is it, Sagara kun?”
“Oh, …… good.”
Uruwashi gently rubbed me and I felt my sweaty body being cleaned.
It feels so good, like a thin veil of nausea that had been covering my body is being wiped away.
“Next, back.”
Uruwashi-san gets up on the bed and goes behind me.
Maybe it’s because it’s the side that was touching the bed, but it seems to be sweating more than the front side, which is nice too.
It’s kind of soothing to have my back rubbed.
“Hmm?!”
Suddenly, I feel a warm, wet sensation on my neck.
I couldn’t help but squeal at the somewhat different sensation.
Perhaps the wet towel must have warmed up while she was wiping it off.
“….I’m sorry, I made a funny noise.”
“No. I’m the one who’s sorry.”
Why was Uruwashi apologizing?
“I’m going to cool it down,” she said, heading to the changing room and coming back after wetting the towel again.
Uruwashi-san wipes every inch of my body and then brings me a replacement nightgown.
Naturally, she puts it on me. My hands are still awkwardly fastening the buttons.
Then I took the over-the-counter medicine she gave me and asked Uruwashi to put a cooling gel sheet on my forehead.
With Uruwashi’s affectionate smile and the words “good night,” I naturally drifted off to sleep.
◇
When I awoke, the room was dark and I knew I had slept for a long time.
However, my body was still heavy and not in good shape.
I could smell the delicious aroma of dashi broth and miso paste. I looked in the kitchen and saw that the light was on.
I slowly get up and walk over to it.
“Ten-chan?”
“Good morning, Sagara kun. Did I wake you up by any chance?”
“No, I didn’t wake up because of your noise. Why are you still at home?”
“To make dinner when you wake up.”
Is that why you’ve been home since then?
No, you left once you did it as expected
“Besides, if I went home, the door would be left unlocked. That would be dangerous.”
Oh, no, I fell asleep and Ten-chan couldn’t go home.
Wow, I did a bad thing.
“I’m sorry. It’s my fault. ……”
“Don’t worry about it. I was here after school so I had my study materials with me and was able to study and it wasn’t boring. Plus, I had fun being in this space.”
On the desk in the room, textbooks and reference books were spread out.
This space is probably the room where Uruwashi is
I’m glad she likes this room surrounded by my stuffed animals.
I’m glad. It seems I wasn’t completely wasting her time.
It makes me feel a little less guilty.
I looked out on the balcony and saw the nightclothes I had taken off at lunchtime hanging out to dry.
“Thank you for everything, even the laundry. But why do you do so much for me?”
“There is a teaching of the Uruwashi clan to take good care of our neighbors.”
I see. So that’s why the members of the clan rushed to the house when there was a fire about to break out.
I have heard that the Uruwashi clan is the self-governing body of this town.
“I also want to help Sagara-kun, who saved Banira-chan, if there is anything I can do to help him.”
It seems that she still feels indebted to me for what I did for her that day.
“Even without that, Sagara-kun is still an important friend of mine.”
Her beautiful, serious eyes stare straight at me.
My heart starts pounding and gets hot.
It seems that the fever hasn’t gone down yet.
“Thank you, but please stop leaving school early or missing school from now on. You’ll end up not having enough attendance days and you’ll end up falling behind in your classes.”
“I’m fine”
It is not hard to understand that a little bit of attendance won’t affect you and that Uruwashi is fine because of her excellent grades.
“I don’t want to hold my friends back. Besides, the midterm exams are coming up and I want to copy your notes and stuff, and I don’t have any friends so the only person I can rely on is Uruwashi san.
I don’t have any friends, but I somehow managed to keep up my grades in the first grade by taking my classes without missing a day.
I’m not the smartest person in the world, so being late is fatal.
Although I’m not expected to have a high standard, my grades are a factor in how much money I receive and how I can continue to live on my own.
I don’t feel like I can go to school the next day with the way I’m feeling.
Even as we speak, I am coughing from time to time. It will probably take another day or two for me to recover.
“….I understand if it’s good for you, Sagara-kun. Then please let me know if you need to take a day off. I was worried when I went to school because you suddenly missed school.”
I never had the idea of contacting my friends when I was absent from school.
I guess you usually send it to people you are close with.
When I arrived at school, I heard my friends saying, “He’s absent today.”
“I understand.”
“Also, I want you to send me a selfie to check on your health.”
“Okay …… eh?”
I nodded as I went along, but a selfie?
I couldn’t withdraw it when Uruwashi looked at me with concern.
I had also asked if I could copy her notes, so I think that’s a fair exchange
I then ate another bowl of porridge, this time with more miso soup, and saw Uruwashi off.
As she left, she asked me, “Are you all right by yourself? Aren’t you lonely?” I was impressed by Uruwashi’s concern as if she were talking to a child.
