Chapter 4: Don't make any moves on Big Sis!

"Hey Tama-"

"Oh, hey there, Mochizou."

In front of him stood an expressionless Kanna. Behind her were Midori and Shiori, with Tamako in the back, giving Mochizou a small wave. Mochizou smiled, waved, and blushed back.

"We'll finish in a bit. You can just wait here."

"Wait! Mochizou, do you want to watch?"

Tamako wore a giddy expression and was holding her hands close to her chest.

"Y-yeah, I'd be glad. I'll just sit down here."

Mochizou sat down next to the wall and watched as the girls practiced. Everytime Tamako made a particularly dazzling move (at least in his eyes), he would let out a cheer, meriting a quick smile and slight blush.

"Alright everyone, that's that."

"Mochizou! Did you like that? Hm?"

"Yeah, it was great! I wish I could've been there to see your contest..."

Mochizou wore a slightly guilty expression, to which Tamako responded by starting to wave her hands in front of her.

"No, it's fine! You were busy with your exams and now we're together, so it worked out in the end, right?"

Mochizou and Tamako shared a smile.

"Yeah. I guess you're right."

Mochizou extended his hand, which caused Tamako to blush for a moment before grabbing it enthusiastically.

"We're heading over to your place, right?"

"Huh?! Oh, yeah, right."

"Ah, we don't have to if-"

"No, you're coming over! I demand to taste some of your mochi!"

"You can stop pouting, jeez. Also... uh..."

"Oh! Sorry..."

Tamako, who had unwittingly latched onto Mochizou's arm, quickly backed away about a metre. After a moment, she tentatively grabbed onto Mochizou's hand once again. Neither of them were meeting each other's eyes, they walked back to Tamako's shop in silence.

"Hey Anko! Where's dad?"

"He's out taking a bath."

"Perfect! C'mon Mochizou, let's get into the kitchen!"

"Huh?"

"Anko, I'm the one in charge right now, so I can do this. Besides, don't you want to try some of Mochizou's Mochizou?"

Anko rolled her eyes.

"Not everyone sees your boyfriend's mochi through rose-coloured glasses, but sure. I'll try some. Also, it's really cute that you keep on mixing up mochi and Mochizou's name."

Tamako let out a short squeak and blush, then the 2 of them proceeded to get to work, making mochi. It didn't take long for Mochizou to get the hang of Tamako's recipe, although he made one mochi with his own shop's recipe. After a while, they'd finished up with the mochi orders.

"That went pretty quickly, huh Tamako?"

"Yeah! We make a good team. So, what about the mochi?"

"Huh? Oh, right."

Before she could react, Mochizou slid a mochi straight into Tamako's mouth using his fingers, taking no caution to avoid her lips.

"Mmph! O-Mochizou!"

"Sorry! Sorry! I'm sorry, I should've asked first!"

Tamako turned away.

"N-no. That was good. Your Mochiz- er- mochi is really yummy."

After a few moments, they turned back to face each other.

"By the way, it was nice of you to let me use your grandfather's uniform."

"Don't mention it! I wouldn't want your school uniform getting dirty."

"We're home!"
