Chapter 4: good night

I had almost fallen asleep when a light sensation near my eyes woke me up.

Her long smooth hair tickled my nose, when she turned over to me as if she had been gently stroked around her neck.

“Don’t stick too close to me, ok?”

“It’s payback for what happened before!”

The little girl spoke as she raised her shy and innocent face and leaned against my torso, as if trying to bend me.

“It’s been hitting my butt for a while, what is this thing?”

The hands of the naive and innocent girl touched that thing of mine.

“Baka, it’s nothing!”

I instantly threw her hands away, and hold her under the both sides of her arms.

If someone somehow managed to see this picture, they'd immediately report me to the police! But, it’s unavoidable. Or perhaps i should say, my thing was truly excellent for it to work seriously even while I was asleep…...

“Ahaha! What, why are you hugging me?”

I somehow saved myself from the embarrassment by distracting her interest. And just like that, I raised Neko up and let her stood by herself.

“We’ve been soaking here for 10 minutes. Let’s go out and change clothes...ah, changing clothes…”

Not to mention, I don’t have clothes for little girls; this house doesn’t even have women’s underwear. A robotics sound came from the washing machine, where Neko’s underwear was currently spinning.

“Let’s see if you can put it on, wait a minute.”

“Ye~s.”

I stood out of the bathtub to replace her, as she began to soak in the bathtub again.

　★★★★★★

“It’s quite big, but it’s okay.”

She put on a long sleeved shirt and stretched it to her knees.

Unfortunately, I don’t have any underwear for her, so I need to endure seeing that area until tomorrow.

“It’s feels drafty around my neck.”

“Don’t say that in front of a man!”

“um-I’ll be careful.”

And then the two of us dried our hair, and went to sleep. I decided to sleep on sofa, while Neko slept on the bed.

As I thought, my physical tiredness seemed to have reached its limit. As I spoke two or three words in the darkened room, my consciousness faded.
