At six in the morning, I already smelled a sweet aroma when I woke up.
Hmm... oh right, yesterday I stayed over at Onee-sama's place after getting bigger due to Suko's potion... so... is Onee-sama cooking? And this sweet aroma... is it bread?
After getting out of bed, I rubbed my eyes and walked to the kitchen.
"Ah, are you awake, A Mi?"
"Good morning, Onee-sama..." I yawned, feeling very lazy.
"Mm, go wash up and cheer up." Onee-sama was manually whipping cream, and a sweet scent emanated from the oven; just smelling it made me a bit hungry.
"Okay~" Still a bit hazy, I quickly went to wash my face.
I washed my face in the bathroom. Although I wanted to use cold water, the water seemed to have already been heated by Onee-sama.
But it's also nice to have warm water to wash your face after waking up early in the morning.
After washing her face, A Mi was much more awake, but she felt a little embarrassed that Onee-sama had seen her in that state just now.
My reflection in the mirror was also a bit red... but is this how I would look if I hadn't fully developed so early? If I could grow up to look like this, would I receive more attention from Onee-sama? Alright, no more wild thoughts!
I patted my face to cheer up; Onee-sama was still waiting for me!
"Onee-sama... Eh eh eh eh!?!?" Wh-what happened!?
Had A Mi been washing up for so long!?
On the table were various breads and small cakes; just smelling the aroma made her feel as if she had entered a world made of bread.
"Www, alright, come eat breakfast. It's rare for me to have this kind of breakfast too." Onee-sama had her usual smile on her face, very beautiful and also very cute.
At this moment, Onee-sama had just taken a new bread out of the oven, and this sweet smell... could it be?
"Mm, it's honey-crusted bread, made with the dream honey."
Ah, as expected, Onee-sama's classic ability is indispensable.
Those extremely rare ingredients outside are brought out as if they were free... come to think of it, since they're homemade, they really don't cost much.
I took the milk Onee-sama handed me and took a sip, then picked up a piece of bread and bit into it.
Ugh! This taste!
The soft bread didn't require much effort to bite into, and the aroma of wheat and milk instantly filled my mouth.
Onee-sama was also slowly eating bread. Speaking of which, Onee-sama's appetite is a bit small... she seems so ladylike.
Since I'm big for once, should I ask Onee-sama to let me hug her?
No, that would be rude, and there are so many delicious breads, A Mi must properly finish them!
Baking bread takes a lot of time, and Onee-sama must have woken up very early to make so much, so I absolutely cannot waste Onee-sama's kindness!
Then I immersed myself in the sea of bread.
Not only sweet bread, but also bread with pork floss and cream, a subtle mix of savory and sweet, but also very delicious.
Of course, there were also foods broadly classified as bread, like American hot dogs. I usually wouldn't eat them, but A Mi would eat however much Onee-sama made!
Onee-sama's cooking is really good. If I could marry Onee-sama, I would surely be very happy, wouldn't I?
She's beautiful, incredibly strong on the racecourse, gentle to others, a great cook, good at all housework, and very good at taking care of people.
It's absolutely not that A Mi has any strange thoughts! I'm just envious of those who will marry Onee-sama in the future.
And if possible, A Mi also wants to become someone like Onee-sama.
Or rather, everyone around me is worth learning from: Teio-san and Urara-chan's enthusiasm and cheerfulness, McQueen-san's elegance, Suko-san's intellect... compared to them, A Mi really can't do anything... "Alright, you'll understand when you've truly run a race, A Mi." Just as I was feeling down, Onee-sama came over at some point and stroked my head.
Eh? But my height is... Eh!?
"Hehehe www, the milk just now had special ingredients added. You've changed back now."
"Eh!?" I hadn't even hugged the petite Onee-sama yet, I feel so sad... "Are you thinking something very rude?" Onee-sama's eyes narrowed.
Oh no! Onee-sama hates it most when her height is mentioned! What should I do, should I lie? But lying is wrong... "Pfft www, alright, stop thinking about this and that. Eat the bread while it's still warm, isn't freshly baked bread tastier?"
"Mm!" Thank goodness, I was let off the hook... We ate for a while, strictly speaking, I was eating, and Onee-sama stopped after eating a few more pieces of bread, watching me eat with a smile.
I was a little shy, but Onee-sama's gaze was so gentle, it even reminded A Mi of her mother.
Although my body had changed back, for some reason I became even hungrier... "Thank you for the meal..." Finally, I was full... I feel like if I keep eating, A Mi will become a glutton... but it was really delicious!
"It's good that you're satisfied." Onee-sama stacked the bread basket and plates and lifted them.
"But Onee-sama, now that A Mi has changed back..." And it's still early, it should be about time to go to school.
"No need, you know. Since you've already taken the day off, don't you think it's a waste to specifically go back to school?"
"Ugh..." Although it sounds somewhat reasonable, I feel like if I nod, I'll become a bad child... "Could it be... A Mi doesn't want to stay with me anymore?" Tears welled up in Onee-sama's eyes.
"No! A Mi really likes Onee-sama!" Eh? Wait a minute?
"Www, then thank you for your affection~" The tears instantly disappeared. What amazing acting.
"Mo~ Onee-sama!"
"Hahaha, alright, just rest well today. But you'll have to resume training in the afternoon, okay?"
"Mm, A Mi understands!"
Since Onee-sama said so, then it's okay for A Mi to be a bad child just this once, right?
Mm, it's okay to be a bad child just this once! And A Mi still listens to Onee-sama, so she's still a good child!
However, since I didn't know what to do afterward, A Mi decided to observe what Onee-sama did all day.
At eight o'clock, A Mi quietly followed behind Onee-sama.
After changing back to my original size, it was at least easier to hide.
Onee-sama walked all the way to the living room, then took out several documents and began to process them.
A serious Onee-sama is also very beautiful.
But isn't the processing speed too fast?
She almost just glanced at them before starting to process, but her serious demeanor showed that she wasn't being perfunctory.
And Onee-sama would never be perfunctory in such matters.
About an hour and a half later, all the documents were processed. Eh? Had A Mi been watching for that long?
Onee-sama probably thought A Mi was playing games, right? At least she didn't seem to have noticed yet.
Although peeking is wrong, since I've already been a bad child, A Mi will be a bad child for the whole morning today!
At half past nine, Onee-sama finished correcting the documents, then rested for a bit before going to the changing room.
Hmm... although I really wanted to see what was inside, I felt it would be too impolite, so A Mi didn't secretly follow her in.
When she came out, she had already changed into a swimsuit, heading for the swimming pool... Although there was a diving board, Onee-sama only seemed to plan for a routine swim. After warming up, she did four laps and then came out.
Ah, Onee-sama is shaking off water, so cute!
Swimming was finished around ten o'clock. What would she do next?
Onee-sama changed into her everyday clothes. Speaking of which, I really want to see Onee-sama wear those cute clothes, although her current cool clothes are also very beautiful.
Huh? She took out her phone?
Is she sending a message... Hmm?
Because she was secretly observing, A Mi had already put her phone on silent, but she could still feel the slight vibration.
[Onee-sama: If you've watched enough, come out.]
Huh? I've been discovered!?
[Shift perspective]
This child really is... Zero couldn't help but laugh seeing Rice Shower timidly emerge from a nearby corner.
When did she start watching?
Honestly, she hadn't noticed at first. It was only while swimming just now, catching a reflection in the glass, that she saw her figure.
Even her hearing hadn't picked up any sound from her, which only goes to show how incredible this child is at stealth.
"Alright, time to make lunch. Want to help?"
"Okay!" Her slightly timid expression instantly brightened, which was quite cute.
