Episode 11: Aloof boss positions are usually shady, aren't they?

　People in the past said that if you lose your mind, fire won't do anything either.

　And from the beginning, I didn't feel guilty at all, but as a reliable senior, I came to take a shower with the five special-class magical girls in order to bring the reconciliation flag forward as much as possible.

　Somehow, that's it. There are a lot of things that are awkward when they are visualized.

"Koyomi-chan, I'm jealous of how it can appear even though you're short."

"...Ah, eh...I-I...I'm just a small..."

"That's not true, Mayu is a little jealous too."

　Is transistor glamor a dead word?

　Koyomi, who is sandwiched between Yukina, who is smiling teasingly, and Mayu, who is joking, even though she has quite a bit of her own, is definitely shorter than the two of them, but Koyomi is about to appear. The parts where it comes out and retracts are retracted.

　Bigger than me. I won't say what.

"...What's your secret weapon? Are you trying to show sympathy?"

"...W-no...that's..."

"...Then don't look at me, it'll make me angry."

　I had completely forgotten that Hazuki is not interesting when visualized like that.

　Well, in that scene, if she had chosen the option of taking a shower with Koyomi or Hazuki as her partner, it would have been even more awkward, so I want to believe that it was force majeure.

　I think Hazuki, for whom the word slender fits perfectly, is outstanding in terms of her perfectly balanced style. It's what you would call a model body type.

　Still, I wonder what's going on with the next door.

　Humans tend to become jealous when something they don't have is presented to them.

　It was like when I was fooling myself because I didn't have much reason to pull it, but when I hit the SSR that was being picked up by my junior, it was like when I got carried away by it and everything ended in vain.

　Putting that talk aside, I understand Hazuki's feelings, even if the circumstances are a little different.

　That's why I think you should skip a follow or two here.

　Having made that decision, I cleared my throat and calmed my voice.

"Be confident, Hazuki."

"...senior"

"From this side, I look envious of your thin limbs. That's how it is."

　I, Chihaya Saijo, don't have a bad figure, but I'm a bit muscular, so I don't have the kind of body type that would be best described as slender.

　There is no doubt that Hazuki has the privilege of being able to say such words more than anyone else in this room.

　Fluffy words like beautiful and cute have as many interpretations as there are people. Of course, I don't deny that there is a greatest common denominator, but I don't think we should go out of our way to compare ourselves to others.

"...Senpai also cares about things like that. I thought she clearly didn't care at all."

"The grass always looks greener on the other side, right? There are many times when I think that way."

"I see... I see. You can be confident, I guess."

　It is difficult to resolve complexes.

　However, to others, this complex may appear to be an incredibly beautiful and shining treasure, so the world is incomprehensible and inseparable.

　Well, if me, Yukina, and Mayu are all pretty big, and Koyomi is even bigger, it would be complicated for a girl of her age.

"Oh, it's so soft... it's like you're massaging a marshmallow endlessly."

"Hya, stop..."

``Try rubbing Mayu and Hazuki, Koyomi-chan's breasts are so soft! Ah, this is the type of warmth that can really ruin people...''

"… Pyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa…"

　While Hazuki and I were having such an exchange, there seemed to be some unscrupulous people, and the sound of Koyomi's cries echoing in the shower room as her breasts were being rubbed endlessly.

　What are you doing?

　After pulling Yukina away from Koyomi, I untied the hair tie from her ponytail and let out a sigh.

"Yukina, you really should stop."

"But Hazuki, it can't be helped, can it?"

"There's nothing I can do about it, you know...Secret Weapon, this is the first time I feel sorry for you..."

　Hazuki, who had taken a shower earlier, looked at Koyomi, who was kneeling down and red up to her ears, with sympathy.

　I'm sure it's different from the rain and the ground hardening, but the result is okay as the settlement flag is brought forward... is it?

　Well, either way, I can't help but feel sorry for Koyomi, whose breasts were being fondled by Yukina. Sexual harassment can occur even if it's between people of the same sex.

"Leave it around there. Absolutely..."

"That's right, you can't do things that other people don't like."

"Yes, yes…I will reflect on this later."

　Yukina, who was stuck between me and Mayu, took a sloppy salute pose and answered while untying her hair. You have no regrets at all.

　Then, Koyomi took up her position in one of the partitioned showers and turned on the faucet, covering her chest with her left hand with the air of being at maximum alert.

　Koyomi has silver hair and red eyes, giving off a mysterious beauty, and when she takes a shower, it feels like she's taking a fairy bath.

"…Saijo, senpai?"

"Ah, sorry. I couldn't help but stare at how cute you are. The grass on the other side looks greener after all."

　It wasn't like she was looking at me in a malicious manner, but Koyomi noticed my gaze on her through the partition, and said so with obvious caution.

　It's okay that I panicked and came up with such an excuse because I was afraid I'd be misunderstood, but I wonder if it's already out of the question when I'm thinking of an excuse.

　Anyway, it's not like I had any bad feelings. I just wanted to clearly convey the truth.

"...Karen(cute), huh...?"

"Simply put, it's cute."

"...Am I cute...? Me...? Ehehe..."

　Koyomi peeked out from behind the screen, her cheeks relaxed and shy.

　It seems like I've managed to get through it for the time being.

　If you do more than this, you may end up with more problems. I also absentmindedly turned on the faucet and bathed in hot water, washing away the sweat.

"Now that I think about it, Senpai, don't you have anything on your mind?"

　As I was washing my body and soaking in the comfort of the hot water, Yukina, who was taking a shower next to me, suddenly asked me about this.

"What do you think?"

"The store manager… I mean, the captain's attitude makes me think he's hiding something."

　Yukina said this while washing her bob-cut platinum blonde hair.

　got it. It's typical of Yukina, or rather, she watches the Colonel closely.

　I'm sorry, but it's true that that person is shady, and it's also true that he's hiding something.

　Things related to critical beasts and magical girls.

　But I'm also guilty of that.

　Still, if you were to defend the colonel, you would probably argue that finding out the truth requires timing and the appropriate determination.

"...I think there's a good reason for hiding something."

"Why?"

"The time of heaven, the advantage of earth, the harmony of people... there is always a time when things should be done. Maybe the colonel is waiting for that time."

"Does that mean he will tell me someday?"

"I don't think so."

　Now is not the time. That's what I'm saying.

　When an NPC says a line like this, I thought I should just tell them what they know without being rude, but when I find myself in that position, I can't help but say that, which makes me laugh.

　Knowing the truth doesn't necessarily mean things will go in a good direction. Knowing the answer from the beginning does not necessarily lead to happiness.

　That's why not yet.

　Thinking back to how I was walking a tightrope in this shitty game world full of death flags, trying not to let everything fall apart like dominoes, I glanced at Koyomi, who was still smiling, as if she was happy to be praised. did.
