What's bothering you lately?

[I constantly encounter someone of the opposite sex attempting to photograph me...]

"What are you doing?"

[Someone of the opposite sex seems to be scheming against me...]

Kato Yusuke looked up.

Her snow-white bare feet touched the floor, showcasing her long, well-proportioned legs. An apron was tied snugly around her waist, accentuating her graceful figure. The sight was truly captivating.

"Hmm, what's this?"

Sayu knelt next to Kato Yusuke, picked up the paper on the low table, and read through it methodically, her actions fluid.

Kato Yusuke didn't stop her, twirling his mechanical pencil on his fingertips, a gesture of modesty.

"This is an introduction... isn't it?"

Sayu asked uncertainly.

Kato Yusuke shook his head. "No, it's a study plan."

"Study... plan?" Sayu looked at him doubtfully. "What do you need this for?"

"Obviously, for studying. It's quite clear at first glance."

Kato Yusuke responded.

"Eh?" Sayu paused briefly, then handed Kato Yusuke a cup of tea. "What's wrong? Why so sudden?"

"Uh…"

Kato Yusuke sipped the tea thoughtfully, the aroma of green tea filling his senses.

'Is she really this skilled at making tea?'

I feel my quality of life has significantly improved since I met Sayu.

Reflecting on this, he glanced at Sayu, catching her curious gaze mirroring his own.

A tender emotion stirred within him.

After hesitating briefly, Kato Yusuke shared the day's events at school with Sayu.

...

"That's the situation, so I've been really focused lately."

Kato Yusuke commented lightly.

"That's tough~"

Sayu chuckled, looking at Kato Yusuke, her expression a mix of teasing and sympathy.

"It sounds challenging."

Sayu pointed to the "plan" and asked.

"What about this part? Why is it blacked out?"

Kato Yusuke paused, sipped his tea softly, and then replied nonchalantly.

"Oh, it's nothing…"

Recalling something, Kato Yusuke glanced at Sayu.

"Speaking of which, have you prepared dinner? After eating and showering, I'm ready to study."

"Oh…"

Sayu opened her mouth.

"Sorry, I completely forgot. I'll go prepare something now."

With that, she hurried into the kitchen.

"...If you run like that, the neighbors downstairs might complain."

"No way!" Sayu retorted playfully, sticking out her tongue at Kato Yusuke, "They can hardly hear us!"

'This girl is so endearing.'

Kato Yusuke smiled faintly, amused by the thought, yet forgetting that she was actually two years his senior.

Dinner was Japanese hamburger steak.

Kato Yusuke, savoring his meal, consumed three bowls of rice in succession, finally satisfying his hunger. He set down his chopsticks and said,

"I'm full."

"It's delicious!"

He sincerely complimented and gave Sayu a thumbs up. "And the lunch box this morning was also excellent. Thank you for your efforts."

"Really~?"

Sayu beamed, her eyes twinkling like crescents, as she looked at Kato Yusuke, hands resting on her cheeks.

"As long as you enjoyed it. It's just simple food, nothing fancy."

Then she stood and began clearing the table.

"I'll wash the dishes first. Yusuke, go ahead and take your bath; the water is ready."

"Oh, thanks."

Kato Yusuke nodded and headed for the bathroom as instructed—

"Ah, one more thing."

Sayu's voice called from behind.

"Hmm?"

Kato Yusuke turned back with a puzzled look.

"Just put your dirty clothes in the laundry basket."

"No need, I can wash them myself."

15 minutes later

"I'm done; it's your turn."

Kato Yusuke emerged from the bathroom in pajamas, addressing Sayu.

"That was quick."

Sayu noted the time, then leaned closer to Kato Yusuke, her delicate nose sniffing lightly at him.

"Did you wash properly~?"

Her voice was playful, as if she were singing.

"Well...it smells of mint."

Sayu remarked with a smile, hands clasped behind her back as she looked up at Kato Yusuke.

"Stop dawdling, go take your shower."

Kato Yusuke flicked his fingers against Sayu's forehead.

"Ouch…"

Sayu clutched her head, wincing.

"Are you going or not?"

Kato Yusuke was about to flick her again.

"I'm going, I'm going."

With that, Sayu hurried into the bathroom with her pajamas.

...

Click.

The bathroom door closed.

With a rustle, Sayu shed her clothes one by one.

First the shirt, then the plaid skirt, and finally the black lingerie adorned with bows and lace.

Her figure, wrapped in a bath towel, revealed an irresistible charm under the light.

"Hey."

Sayu bent down, gathered the clothes from the floor, and placed them in the laundry basket, preparing them for the next load of washing.

At that moment—

"Chuck, cluck, cluck."

A peculiar noise came from the washing machine.

"What?"

Sayu yawned slightly and moved closer to investigate. She discovered that Kato Yusuke hadn't closed the door properly when he loaded his clothes, preventing the machine from starting.

"Look at that, he said he'd wash them himself, typical Yusuke."

Her tone was more affectionate than reproachful.

"I bet he mixed the socks and underwear again."

Sayu sighed, opened the washing machine door, and began sorting Kato Yusuke's clothes.

"Well, let's see."

"This is the school shirt, these are the pants... ah, yep, typical."

She murmured to herself, delighting in sorting the clothes that could cause dye transfer from those that couldn't.

"Huh? What's this?"

She eyed a slightly crumpled blue shirt curiously, her brow furrowed.

"Is this a uniform from work? How did it end up like this..."

She shook out the shirt, and a faint sweet scent wafted up.

Sayu shivered slightly, her following words faltering.

This wasn't Kato Yusuke's usual mint scent, nor her usual orange scent. It was different, floral even.

Her fingers clenched tightly around the fabric, and a hollow echo filled the bathroom.

"A girl's... scent."
