After I got out of the shower and started drying Hikari’s hair, she went in right after me, Kagurazaka-san arrived.
「Sorry for the wait…」
「Welcome back!」
「Welcome back, Kagurazaka-san」
「Rinka-san, here you go」
Mary handed her a glass of barley tea. That barley tea’s really good… I wonder if she uses the fancy kind?
「Thank you… Wow, this is delicious!」
「You’re very welcomE」
As I listened to their conversation, I finished drying Hikari’s hair.
「Alright, Hikari, you’re all done」
「Fwaaah～ Thanks～ I knew you’d be amazing, Yuuki～」
She stretched and yawned like a relaxed cat, it was seriously cute.
「Okay, okay. Time for dinner now」
Hikari gave a big stretch, stood up, and headed toward the kitchen. Looks like she’s going to get some barley tea.
「Ah, Hikari, me too, please」
「Got it～ Oh right, Rinka-san, if you haven’t dried your hair completely yet, you should totally ask Yuuki to do it. Your hair will end up super silky!」
「Eh!? R-really? Would that be okay…?」
「Of course! Just look at my hair! It’s smooth and shiny like you wouldn’t believe!」
「Wow… What is this shine… I always thought your hair was pretty, but this is another level…」
「Right!? I always get him to do it! Seriously, Yuuki-san’s skill with hair and hair-care magic is pure genius! Thanks to him, my hair’s super healthy, no split ends, no breakage! He even undoes damage from UV rays! I’m telling you, his technique is on par with divine miracles!! I want every woman in the world to experience it! But if I spread the word, he might not have time to take care of mine anymore, so I keep quiet about it! It’s truly a loss for humanity that more people don’t know! He can fix damage from hair products too, it’s honestly life-changing! You should absolutely try it! Hair models don’t even come close!! And the treatment feels so good…」
Mary suddenly launched into a passionate rant… She really loves hair. I decided not to point out that Hikari and Kagurazaka-san looked a little taken aback.
「Well… anyway, it looks like Hikari and our hair-care evangelist Mary both recommend it. What do you think?」
「I’m not an evangelisT」
「Then… yes, please」
I got started drying Kagurazaka-san’s hair with the dryer. Honestly, her hair was already silky and shiny… but oh well.
「Hmmm…」
Once it was mostly dry, I used a combination of fire and wind magic to create a slightly warm airflow and continued drying it.
「Mmm… haah…」
Whenever I do this, everyone ends up making these seductive little noises…
As I gently combed her hair, mixing in recovery magic, her already smooth hair became glossier and silkier with each stroke.
「Nn… ahh……」
「That spot always feels the best, right?」
「I knoW…」
(What exactly are you two talking about…?)
I mentally inserted a dry comment as I finished Kagurazaka-san’s hair. So this… this is what “turu-tturu” looks like. It was even glossier than usual.
「Alright, all done」
「Fuaaa～ Thank you so much～」
Yep. She was utterly melted.
「This feels kind of… sexy, doesn’t it?」
「It really does…」
As we chatted, Mary’s phone went off with a message.
「Everyone, dinneR is ready」
「Got it. I’ll go put the dryer away」
「C’mon, Rinka-san, let’s gooo」
「Faa～～ii, I’m coming～～」
Everyone stood and began moving. I quickly cleaned up and headed out the front door. Mary was waiting by the entrance to the dining room.
「Oh mY, that was quick. I thought it’d take longer」
「It was just putting stuff away…」
「Since it’s you, Yuuki-san, I figured you might’ve been licking the comb or something」
「I wasn’t!! Why would I do that!?」
「WELL, jokes aside, once I get out of the bath later, I’d like you to do mine too」
「Sure, sure」
「Don’t forget, okaY?♪」
With that, she walked off in high spirits.
◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆
「Sorry to keep you waiting, everyone」
When I entered the living room, Touka was standing by the door.
「Ah, onii-chan, you’re so slow!」
「Sorry, Touka, I was putting the dryer away」
「Wait, does that mean you gave them the treatment? Hikari-onee-chan and Kagurazaka-san?」
「What do you mean that? ‘The treatment’?」
「So unfair」
「Alright, alright, I’ll do yours too after your bath」
「Really!? Yay! And do Haruka’s too!」
Touka clung to my arm in delight.
「Then let’s hurry up and eat!」
With Touka tugging me along, I took a seat. Dishes were already spread across the large table.
「Ooh, Japanese-style tonight. That means it’s Haruka’s cooking?」
「That’s right～」
Haruka came out of the dining room, taking off her apron. Watanuki-san, the housekeeper from Tomoe-chan’s family, brought out another dish.
「Thank you, Watanuki-san」
「Not at all, it’s my job. And more than that, I just love taking care of all of you♪」
That’s Watanuki-san, a woman we met recently who always wears a kimono. She used to work at Tomoe-chan’s place, but moved here with her to continue looking after her.
While we’re at school, she takes care of cleaning and upkeep for our rooms, so we often see her at breakfast and dinner.
「Everything’s ready, so let’s eat!」
