My Sweet Roomies Re-Written (Miyoko Neyane/ Aoi Mizusawa Route)

Chapter 12 - First time Distance

One night, on my way to the bathroom,

"I really do worry at times like these..."

One rule in the Famille' is that I would be the last to take a bath.

According to Ms.Mikahara.

If I'm the one to take a bath, there would be no incidence where I'd run into a girl. Seems logical enough.

Those were her words.

(It's true...the awkwardness of running into someone.., I had experienced for myself on my first day here.)

(the bathroom light...it's still on.)

"Is someone inside?"

When...

"Phew! That's a lot better!"

"Oh, Mina, that bath is open now."

"What's the matter? Your face is red."

"Wh-wh-what's the matter?!"

Seeing Aoi come out of the bathroom wearing a white thin camison and short shorts, my heart almost stops.

Gleaming white legs and arms her hair still moist with water and her face still flushed.

(She really needs to consider that I'm a guy.)

"Wh-why are you dressed like that?!"

"Why? What kind of question is that? Are you suggesting for me to go out naked?!"

"N-no! that's not what I meant."

"It's hot coming out of the bath, what more do you want." She continued.

"Still..."

"Hey what's the matter?!"

The scent of her shampoo drifts from her hair...

(Darn it, why does she look sexy this way.)

"Mina?"

"Ah...n-no...u-umm..."

"It's nothing..."

"I'm taking a bath, now."

"Alright, that's why you're here in the first place right?"

I run into the changing room and finally able to take a deep breath.

(Phew...she's really defenseless when it comes to me...did she forgot that I am also a guy.)

(That's what she looks like, coming out of the bath...)

"Huh? Wait a second..."

"That fact that she just came out..."

(She was in this bath until just a moment ago...)

The sweet aroma of soap tickles my nose.

It is the same aroma from her hair.

I never really looked at her as a woman before but looking at her now, she's really gorgeous her slightly flushed face...is burned into my vision and does not go away.

However

This is not the only time that she displayed her unabashed personality.

The next day, getting out of bed, I stretch in the living room.

"It's such a good weather today."

"Mina, breakfast is ready."

"Thanks, Rei."

"Hm? Where's Yomiko?"

"She's probably out running."

"Ah, I see."

After a little over a month of living in this share-house.

I've begun to understand everyone's daily patterns.

Miyoko, apparently, goes running every morning or night.

Then Raika enters the living room.

"Well, Miyoko does like sports."

"Raika, it's rare you're up this early."

"Last night I finished work early. So I decided to get up early." She said as she sits in front of me

"You usually work until past midnight."

"Yep. That's why, usually, I'm fast asleep at this hour."

"You do work hard."

Suddenly...

"I'm home! I made it for breakfast!"

Soaked in sweat, Miyoko runs into the living room.

"Good morning, Mina."

"Good morning...you're dressed kind of rough..."

Recently, her clothes is more casual than usual.

"Yeah, today was also unbearably hot from the morning!"

"Good job, Here's your barley tea, Miyoko." Offered Rei

"Thanks!"

She proceed to sit down next to Raika.

She pulls on the opening of her shirt and starts fanning herself.

"Mmn...This barley tea is relaxing..."

I unconsciously look away as she continues to fan her shirt. Every time she fans herself i catch glimpse of her breast.

"Hey, Mina!" roared Yomiko.

"Where are you looking?!"

"Huh?"

"Don't huh me! And you, Miyoko don't fan yourself in such way you're exposing yourself to Mr.pervert here!"

"Aww...it's hot."

"You need to be more self-conscious! Mina is still a guy in some degree!"

(i-in some degree?)

"Hehe, Miyoko, is it because you're in front of Mina?"

"Is that why you can be so bold?" tease Raika.

"Yep! It is!" she answered confidently.

(What?)

(B-because she's in front of me...what's that supposed to mean?)

A smile floats to Miyoko's lips, and she turns to face me.

"Come on, this is you and me we're talking about, Mina!"

"W-what do you mean?!"

"What? Am I being a bother?"

"Y-you're not necessarily bothering me..."

"Alright, then there's no problem!"

"What do you mean there's no problem!" Me and Yomiko said in Unison.

(I don't know if she's this naïve or she's just messing with me,)
