[T/N: What a title..]
"We're home!"
Chihaya Anon announced loudly as she pushed open the door.
"Although we're a little earlier than we originally planned... Hm?"
Anon, mid-sentence, was instantly captivated by the scene before her.
"Brother, why are you wearing a formal dress shirt at home? And this one looks completely different from the one you wore for work."
"I have to attend the [Summer Zodiac] celebration party tomorrow, so I thought I'd try on this formal suit my father bought me after I got into the Geika Institute of Fashion."
Standing in front of the full-length mirror, Chihaya Tetsuya answered while gently tugging at his collar.
"My height hasn't changed since then, but it definitely feels a bit tighter when I put it on... It seems my build really has gotten a bit more solid than before."
Custom-made suits like this were usually tailored to be quite form-fitting. Once the wearer's body shape changed, it was easily noticeable. Originally, this shirt didn't have such a strong slimming effect on Tetsuya, but now he could clearly feel the tautness around his shoulders and waist.
"I'm a little moved. I can't believe the day has come where I can actually feel my clothes being tight."
Tetsuya couldn't help but exclaim.
Meanwhile, watching the shirt trace the clear lines of Tetsuya's shoulders and waist, the skin peeking from between the slightly strained buttons, and his current motion of starting to unbutton it, Chihaya Anon and Wakaba Mutsumi both felt as if they were watching some sort of R-rated program...
"S-since it doesn't fit anymore, it's probably better to change back into your usual casual set!"
Anon quickly spoke up, interrupting Tetsuya's unconscious fan-service segment.
If it were just her, it would be fine, but Mutsumi was here now. No matter how thick-skinned she was, she couldn't bear to let a well-bred young lady see her family member looking so "indecent"!
But then again... I feel like Mutsumi's gaze is a lot more serious than usual. Is even a well-mannered young lady like her captivated by my brother's "unconscious seduction"?
...
No! I can't let her see any more of this!
"Anyway, you said before that it's a private party, so it should be fine to be a little more relaxed, right!"
Anon said hurriedly.
"Besides, wearing these kinds of clothes at home must be uncomfortable. Just hurry up and change out of it!"
"Mhm, I was thinking the same thing."
Tetsuya nodded.
"It's a bit of a shame, though. I actually quite liked this suit... I'll find some time to get it altered."
With that, he suddenly turned to look at the two who had just returned.
"By the way, how did your business go?"
"It went great!"
Anon made a "V for victory" sign at him.
"Not only did we get a drummer for Mutsumi's new band, but we also recruited that new member for [Starry Sky] we've been wanting. Well, I'll tell you the details at dinner! Oh, right, is Soyo home right now?"
She said, peeking her head towards Tetsuya's room.
"It's a bit embarrassing to ask, but I guess we'll have to prepare dinner for four today—"
"Okay, I heard you."
Sure enough, Nagasaki Soyo's voice came from inside Tetsuya's room.
And when she walked out, both Anon and Mutsumi wore expressions of utter disbelief.
"So-Soyo...? That outfit you're wearing..."
"I was too lazy to go back and change, so I borrowed some of Tetsuya's loungewear."
Soyo's upper body was clad in a very loose, solid-colored, crew-neck T-shirt, while her lower half directly revealed two fair, smooth thighs.
In a word, it was the boyfriend shirt look! Fortunately, Soyo had chosen a crew-neck pullover and not an actual button-up shirt. Otherwise, with her well-developed "natural assets" combined with Tetsuya's slim-fit shirt, the scene would have instantly become truly R-rated!
"Anyway, dinner for four, right? I got it. Just wait for me a little bit."
With that, she nonchalantly walked towards the kitchen as if nothing was out of the ordinary.
Fortunately, Anon came to her senses in time, grabbed Soyo's wrist, and hurriedly pressed her.
"Wait, wait, what do you mean too lazy to change? Weren't you just taking a simple nap in my brother's room this afternoon? Why would you need to change clothes?"
"Ah~ So you already know. Let's see, how should I explain this to you?"
Being questioned repeatedly, Soyo didn't show any sign of displeasure. She just smiled, thought for a moment, and then said:
"In any case, what you're worried about didn't happen."
"The clothes you're wearing are already very worrying, okay!"
Anon pointed at those two dazzling thighs, her face full of agitation.
"No matter how you look at it, this is just too improper! You should at least find some pants to wear!"
"I wanted to, but Tetsuya's pants are a bit too long for me."
At this, Soyo suddenly placed a hand on her chest.
"The top can be held up by this, but I really can't wear the pants. But we're at home anyway, so this will have to do."
"Ghh—"
With Soyo's movement, and the very obvious jiggle beneath the fabric, Anon was now certain that there was no second layer of defense under that pullover. As for her lower half, Anon simply didn't have the courage to ask...
And she wasn't sure if it was her imagination, but Anon felt that Soyo's aura had also undergone a very obvious change along with this bold "boyfriend shirt."
Although Soyo's aura had always had a subtly mature, almost wife-like feel, she was still just a young woman at the end of the day, and this subtle illusion was easily diluted by her rather girlish words and actions. But at this moment, whether it was the gentle, peaceful smile on her face, the nonchalant way she took an apron from the hook, or her unbothered mental state despite her bold attire, it all made that aura, which should have been an illusion, feel much more real...
Eh? What's going on? Can a high school girl really transform into a young wife in just one afternoon? I feel like she could call my brother "husband" in the next second and it wouldn't feel out of place at all...
What on earth happened between those two this afternoon?! And what is their relationship right now?!
Gazing at the back of the figure slowly walking into the kitchen, Chihaya Anon's heart was filled with shock.
