First feet, now legs..

Sasaki, who reacted very quickly, planned to reach out to catch her the moment he noticed that she was falling towards him.

But looking at the position where her hands were stretched forward, it happened to be in the center of where he was sitting cross-legged.

Although it wasn't certain she would really touch there...

But... who wants to try this kind of thing?

He absolutely couldn't let her touch him in such a posture; otherwise, she would hate him forever...

After a brief moment of thought, he straightened up and embraced Kasumi Haruno.

Since he moved forward to meet her, the girl's small hands stretched out in panic were the first to rest on Sasaki's chest.

And to others, Kasumi Haruno's action of bracing herself on the boy's chest appeared as if she was actively throwing herself into his arms...

Coincidentally, there was a third person on this rooftop...

Seeing his sister taking the initiative to throw herself into Sasaki's arms after he walked away, Haruno Ayato suppressed the tumult in his heart, pretending not to see, and turned his head to look into the distance.

He had already decided in his heart before.

Since he didn't have the ability to protect his sister, then he had to find someone who had.

And the Sasaki who appeared in front of him was a 'brother-in-law' who fit his requirements perfectly.

Not only was he a friend, but his sister also did not reject him, and most importantly, he had the ability to deal with those gangsters.

No one understood better than him, who had been bullied, how those bullies who were aggressive yet cowardly operated.

Only by completely scaring them could he better protect his sister.

The unprecedented force displayed by Sasaki today had completely convinced him.

If Sasaki had shown even a hint of fear after he mentioned that those gangsters were harassing his sister Kasumi, Haruno Ayato would have not allowed him to have any contact with his sister again.

Even if he was his only friend.

Feeling the gravel in his hand that remained unchanged no matter how hard he squeezed it, the boy's eyes gradually blurred as he looked into the distance.

'Sister Kasumi...I will wish you happiness...'

Not knowing what her brother was thinking.

Haruno Kasumi lay in the warm embrace that shielded all the cold wind, her legs, already weak and numb, now completely devoid of strength.

Afraid to see the surprised look in Sasaki's eyes and her brother's questioning gaze.

Haruno Kasumi, who was trembling all over, hung her head low, pressing hard against Sasaki's shoulder, her pale hands tightly clutching his clothes, acting like an ostrich.

.

.

Turning his head and glancing at Haruno Ayato standing at the edge of the rooftop, looking into the distance silently, pretending to be blind.

Sasaki, feeling the warm and soft nephrite lying in his arms, was momentarily unsure of what to do next.

If it were just the two of them, with Sasaki's warm-hearted nature, he would have definitely suggested massaging Haruno Kasumi's legs to speed up her recovery.

But with her younger brother right there... it seemed a bit inappropriate...

Thinking about the method in his mind, Sasaki took another look at Haruno Ayato, who was standing in the distance blowing the wind, seeming to know but not seeming to know.

"Go ahead... Otherwise, with Sister Kasumi acting like an ostrich, who knows when she'll be able to stand up..."

Setting up all the thoughts in his mind.

Sasaki looked down at Haruno Kasumi, who was kneeling on his calves, with her upper body leaning into his arms, and leaned close to her little ears that were red from the cold and whispered his advice.

"Sister Kasumi, how about I massage your legs for you? If we just wait like this, Haruno might turn around at any moment..."

Knowing that letting her make her own decision would definitely result in a refusal, and might even cause a bigger commotion.

So, after Sasaki finished speaking, he embraced her soft and bouncy slim waist, picked up the crook of her legs, and had her sit sideways in his embrace.

Because he was sitting cross-legged on the ground, her pert and round "big moon" didn't make any contact with his fragile parts.

Therefore, after turning her body around, Haruno Kasumi simply covered her face with her hands, and made no movement to resist.

Obviously, having experienced the foot massage yesterday, she had no significant reaction to some of the therapeutic contacts made by Sasaki.

Although the pinching of the legs this time was a little more excessive than the pinching of the feet yesterday...given the urgency of the situation, it was understandable to obey the authority.

Consoling herself with this thought.

Haruno Kasumi secretly watched Sasaki caressing her thigh through the gaps between her fingers.

As a beautiful girl who is famous in the class and even the entire grade.

Since entering this school, Haruno Kasumi had received numerous love letters, and face-to-face confessions were not few.

But she had always rejected those crazy bees and butterflies by saying, "I need to study and I'm not thinking about love yet'.

As a teenage girl, of course she also had the idea of ​​​​having a sweet love.

But not only did she need to maintain my own grades, but she also needed to keep an eye on her younger brother's situation, which was also very energy-consuming.

So until now... her idea of romance remained just an idea...

Certainly... there seemed to be a slight change now.

The person in front of her, who was gently massaging her thighs, could not only more conveniently help take care of my younger brother but also was a good friend of her brother's, and would not look down on him because of his appearance.

So... having such a lover would be nice, wouldn't it?

'But does he have feelings for me?'

As soon as the worrying thoughts arose in her mind, the fingertips running gently on her stockings made her throw this worry away.

Although she did't know much about boys.

But whether someone liked something or not, Haruno Kasumi could still feel it.

And now, being held in Sasaki's arms, she could clearly feel... that Sasaki-kun really liked her thighs...

After knowing that he had some thoughts about her.

The girl, who felt that she was about to fall in love, covered her flushed cheeks with her hands, feeling bashful joy, and couldn't help but rub her legs together...

"Uh..."

Looking at his fingers that were clamped and unable to move, the boy was somewhat confused about what she meant by this...

Although he knew that his behavior was definitely beyond the normal attitude and actions towards a friend's sister.

But anyway.

He had to think carefully before doing these actions.

He had ro make sure that his actions would not leave any bad impressions before he acted.

For example, Haruno Kasumi sprained her foot yesterday.

She couldn't walk because of her twisted ankle.

And at that time, the only ones who could carry her were Sasaki and Haruno Ayato.

Not to mention Sasaki, given Ayato's strength...

So at that time, no matter how shy Haruno Kasumi was, she couldn't refuse.

And for the subsequent application of medicine, it was Haruno Ayato took the initiative to ask Sasaki to apply it.

So Haruno Kasumi couldn't say anything more...

And this time, massaging the legs also had a layer of 'treatment' as a pretext.

Even according to Haruno Kasumi's own thoughts, it was definitely better to stand up as soon as possible.

So even though she knew that massaging her legs was somewhat inappropriate, the urgency of embarrassment made her unable to firmly refuse.

Because her brother could turn around at any time.

When the time comes, if she let him see his most beloved sister, lying in his friend's arms so... wantonly.

Then the image of a loving sister she had built up over the years would completely collapse.

So everything he did was with the other party's tacit consent, or in a situation where they couldn't refuse.

In this way, the other party wouldn't feel like he was being frivolous or anything afterwards.

But... what did it mean for Kasumi to suddenly catch his fingers?

Is she hinting that he can go even further?

Impossible, right?
