Izumi Sagiri stared at her brother's handsome face, so close to her own. As his suggestive words echoed in her ears, she had a sudden epiphany!
Could it be... could it be that Onii-chan is doing this on purpose? Is he trying to hint at something?
Thinking about how her brother had suggested they bathe together, and now these meaningful words, a bold idea popped into Sagiri's mind.
Onii-chan... could it be that he's looking forward to something, just like me?!
This realization instantly boosted Sagiri's courage tenfold—or maybe ninefold! Her professional instincts (?) as a doujinshi artist took over.
The plot had already reached the critical scene where the male and female leads bare everything to each other. As the protagonist, how could she just stand still? How could she drop the ball now?!
"O-Onii-chan!" She put down the bath sponge, her trembling hands resting on Kanzaki Saku's shoulders. Her voice quivered slightly. "C-Could you lean in a little closer..."
"Hmm?" Kanzaki Saku leaned forward cooperatively, curious to see just how far his dear sister would go.
"I... I want..." Sagiri's breathing grew ragged.
"Want what?" Kanzaki Saku continued to play the innocent role, teasing the little fangirl until her heart ached with anticipation. Her nipples were already hardening; she was completely under his thumb.
"I want... I want to bathe with Onii-chan!" After building it up for so long, Sagiri still couldn't bring herself to say anything more explosive.
Kanzaki Saku shook his head inwardly. I give you an opening, and you don't even take it.
But Kanzaki Saku was speaking from a position of comfort. Although intimate scenes between family members seem easy in Japanese movies and manga, they're much harder to achieve in reality.
After all, they had lived together as brother and sister for so many years. If she really had the guts, it would have happened long ago; she wouldn't have waited until now.
Even though Sagiri was very different in this reversed world, at her core, she was still all talk and no action.
In the world of her doujinshi, she had toyed with Kanzaki Saku countless times, trying all sorts of scenarios. But that was just doujinshi, Sagiri's fantasy time, where you could just get right to it.
The real world wasn't like a doujinshi where everything serves the climax. She still had to consider Kanzaki Saku's feelings. What if she had misunderstood her brother's intentions?
What if her brother really just missed bathing with her like when they were kids, and that's why he suggested it, but she took it as that kind of invitation and acted on it?
How would her brother see her then? Would he think she was a dirty-minded little sister? Would he distance himself from her, or even hate her because of it?
Besides, just being able to bathe with him without doing anything was already huge progress. Sagiri was completely satisfied with that.
So, at the crucial moment, Sagiri shamefully chickened out. It was because she cared that she was afraid of losing him.
Kanzaki Saku wasn't surprised at all to see Sagiri's tough-on-the-outside, weak-on-the-inside act.
As family members who had lived together for over a decade, he knew exactly what his sister was like.
She was the classic case of being all desire but no courage. She didn't have the guts to go all the way, to get down to the real thing.
But the courage to take advantage verbally and sneak a few small perks physically? Not only did she have it, she had it in spades!
But that was fine. The current Kanzaki Saku had plenty of patience and methods to slowly guide this master of theory and help her put her creative inspirations into practice, one by one.
The first step was to regularly give Sagiri some 'fanservice' and provide plenty of hints.
'Sigh 😔... Why is it so hard to be a guy who provides fanservice?' Kanzaki Saku lamented inwardly.
He shifted his position, leaning against the edge of the tub, making room for Sagiri with his actions.
Closing his eyes, Kanzaki Saku granted his sister's wish. "Then come on in and soak for a bit, Sagiri."
This casual invitation actually made the tense Sagiri let out a sigh of relief.
It seemed her brother really didn't have that in mind. Good thing she hadn't acted rashly, or she would have lost even the chance to bathe with him.
She carefully slid into the tub, trying not to make too big of a splash, and curled up in Kanzaki Saku's arms. The warm water enveloped her body, making her let out a whimper like a small animal.
Kanzaki Saku seemed completely oblivious, his eyes closed and his posture relaxed. After a moment, he casually adjusted his position, resting his arm on the edge of the tub. This movement brought more of his skin into contact with Sagiri's back.
Sagiri had been trying to see through the water's surface, though it was unclear what she was hoping to find. The moment Kanzaki Saku's skin touched hers, she shot up in a stress reaction. Sagiri stood at attention!
Despite the commotion, Kanzaki Saku kept his eyes closed, resting. Seeing this, Sagiri slowly leaned closer to his face to check if her brother's eyes were really closed.
"Sagiri," Kanzaki Saku suddenly said.
"Here!" Sagiri jumped, nearly biting her tongue. She quickly averted her gaze, pretending to look at the ceiling.
"Could you grab the towel for me? It's on the rack over there."
"O-Okay!" Sagiri felt as if she'd been granted a pardon and hurried to get it.
After grabbing the towel, Sagiri turned to hand it to her brother just as Kanzaki Saku happened to open his eyes. Their gazes met, and Sagiri's heart skipped a beat.
Her hand trembled, and the towel almost fell into the water. Kanzaki Saku reached out just in time to catch it, his palm faintly brushing against her body, sending a weak jolt through her.
"Thanks." Still playing the part of the innocent older brother.
"Y-You're welcome..." Sagiri felt like she couldn't breathe. She sank back into the water, leaving only the top half of her head exposed, trying to hide her budding peaks that had perked up on their own.
For the rest of the time, Kanzaki Saku would occasionally make small, seemingly unintentional movements like this, inadvertently revealing a little fanservice. Each time, it struck Sagiri precisely in her... ah, creative inspiration and physiological instincts.
Sagiri went from being flustered at first to gradually getting into the mood. Her hands began to move secretly under the water. The thrill of doing something so bold right under her brother's nose nearly made her pass out.
Family, will my brother find out if I secretly take off in the water?
Of course Kanzaki Saku noticed, but he didn't say anything.
During the post-climax sage time that followed her "landing," Sagiri's gaze was almost reverent (?) as she greedily absorbed material for her drawings.
She felt like her brain was a sponge soaked with water—heavy and dizzy, stuffed with enough wonderful scenes to draw dozens of gigabytes worth of doujinshi.
The warm water, the person she liked right within reach, and this continuous, heart-pounding stimulation.
Sagiri felt as if she were floating on a cloud, enveloped by a sense of ultimate bliss. Her consciousness gradually faded, and her vision began to swim...
