The Secret to a Junior's Glow-Up

Seeing her, she dashed to the couch, squeezing in next to Sasaki, wrapping her arms around Kyouka's neck, and rubbing her cheek affectionately against her. "Welcome home, Aunt Kyouka!"

"Aunt Kyouka," Otome greeted, as she walked down the stairs.

Feeling Rinka's smooth, soft cheek against her neck, Kyouka giggled, feeling ticklish as she turned to look at Otome and smiled warmly.

Gently stroking the girl's chestnut hair, which was the same shade as her own, she said, "Yes, Otome was right. Little Rinka is so soft and smells so nice~"

Admiring the supple and elastic feel of her skin, she couldn't help but pinch it gently with her left hand.

"Um..."

Not wanting to admit she was naturally blessed, and also reluctant to reveal any skincare secrets, Rinka's eyes shifted as she repeated the same explanation she had given earlier,

"It's probably because I drink milk every morning."

Knowing that milk in the morning could indeed have beautifying effects, Kyouka nodded to herself, making a mental note to drink milk every morning.

She then asked, "Oh, really? Which brand of milk is it, Rinka? It seems to be working very well."

Which brand… The "Sasaki brand"... but that wasn't something she could say out loud.

"I didn't really pay attention... Sister Otome usually buys it for me," Rinka said, scratching her head as she passed the question to Otome, who was standing nearby.

"Oh, it's just the regular bottled milk you find at convenience stores," Otome responded, her voice a bit shy.

Knowing the real reason behind her and Rinka's improved skin, Otome felt a bit embarrassed and attributed it to the plain old milk.

And worried that Aunt Kyouka might not believe such a simple explanation, she added, "Actually, most milk is pretty similar these days. The key is to be consistent with it."

Hearing this, Kyouka nodded in agreement, smiling warmly.

Before she could continue to express her admiration for the two girls, Sasaki, knowing that Aunt Kyouka's newfound interest in her appearance was because of him, jumped in with a compliment,

"Aunt Kyouka, you're just like Otome and Rinka. You're naturally beautiful, and milk is just a psychological boost.

The real key is eating well and getting good rest."

The words warmed Kyouka's heart, though, with everyone around, she couldn't show too much affection towards Fuyumi.

She simply smiled softly, her lips curving gently as she tried to contain her feelings.

With Fuyumi's help, the conversation smoothly shifted back to Kyouka.

Seizing the opportunity, Rinka also began showering her with compliments like, "Aunt Kyouka, your skin is so beautiful," and "Your figure is perfect." Although there was a bit of flattery mixed in, most of what Rinka said was true, making the compliments feel genuine rather than awkward.

As the "first lady," Otome wouldn't just stand by and watch her friend hog all the attention.

She also joined in, praising Aunt Kyouka.

However, the girls knew that too much praise could come off as insincere, so after a bit, they smoothly shifted the topic to discussing good face masks and skincare products.

The conversation flowed warmly for a while, and soon after, Koharu had finished warming up the food.

....

Sakuragi Otome and Okino Rinka also proposed to leave at the right time.

Although she had thought about staying over at Fuyumi's house again after her parents left, Otome realized it might be inconvenient.

She had confidence in the house's soundproofing, but if they were caught in the act...

Even though Fuyumi shared the same secret and wouldn't tease her about it, being found out in front of Aunt Kyouka and others would be too embarrassing.

So, after thinking it over for a moment, Otome decided to decline Aunt Kyouka's invitation to stay over.

As her childhood friend and now, in reality, her lover, Fuyumi naturally offered to walk her home.

Little Rinka, always quick to catch on to the atmosphere, sped off toward Sister Otome's house as soon as they stepped out.

In fact, Otome's house was just across the street, just a few steps away.

And because the distance was short, Sasaki naturally couldn't stay outside for too long.

So, after closing the gate, he reached out and held the girl's small hand.

Now that they were officially in a relationship, Sakuragi Otome no longer felt as shy or reserved as she used to when being affectionate with Fuyumi in private.

Although she still blushed, it didn't stop her from being more proactive.

Without minding Fuyumi's hand gently caressing her waist, Otome half-closed her eyes, stood on her tiptoes, and raised her soft, delicate face, ready for his kiss.

Having just taken a bath, even though she hadn't washed her hair, the gentle, floral scent that always surrounded Otome—like the sweet fragrance of cherry blossoms—was still there.

The cool evening breeze, tinged with her scent, made Sasaki's nose twitch slightly.

The fragrance of cherry blossoms was subtle, never overwhelming, just like Otome herself.

This time, however, he didn't have any desire to rush things; his kisses were gentle, not as intense as they could have been, but filled with genuine affection.

A teenager's body is always restless with energy.

Sasaki didn't linger too long, only exchanging a few tender moments with Otome before pulling back slightly.

"Otome, you're so beautiful."

Otome had indeed become even fairer and her skin softer due to her diligent care.

Her figure hadn't changed much, though her curves had become a little more pronounced.

Whether it was from the kiss or the bath, she looked stunning under the streetlight.

Her slender figure, her vibrant blue-green eyes shimmering like the ocean, and the faint blush on her delicate face made her even more enchanting.

Feeling his love for Otome as strong as ever, despite having Momo, Natsuha, Yukiha, and Rinka in his life now, he once again confirmed to himself that his love for each of them was genuine and unwavering.

Hoping to convey this affection, he pulled her closer, embracing her more tightly.

Since they were hugging, Sakuragi Otome could naturally feel his affection.

She shyly pressed her small lips together, then tilted her face up to plant a few light kisses on his cheek.

Knowing he couldn't stay outside too long, Otome didn't beat around the bush.

Instead of subtly hinting for him to visit her tonight, she looked up at him with her sparkling, watery eyes and directly asked, shyly but straightforwardly:

"Tonight... do you have time, Fuyumi?"

With his forehead resting against hers, Sasaki pouted, planting gentle kisses on her soft, moist lips, and asked with a smile:

"Is there something on your mind, Otome?"

Although on the bed, Sakuragi Otome was often asked by Fuyumi to say some embarrassing things, at those moments, her mind would be in a haze, as if it had melted away, so, even if she said something, she could always deny it later.

However, now that she was clear-headed and being asked like this, it was a rare occurrence.

So, the girl shyly and playfully bit his lower lip lightly as a form of punishment.

But this was a private moment, so there was no harm in satisfying her lover a little.

With that in mind, Sakuragi Otome reached out and wrapped her arms around Fuyumi's neck, letting her body press against his, then bit his ear lightly and whispered:

"Well... it's just... I'm going to pour you some tea."

Pouring tea… was an action, but also a gesture.

Now that Otome had said everything, Sasaki, of course, wanted her to pour him some tea.

"Then, wait for my message~"

"Mm~"

After kissing and cuddling a bit more.

Sasaki watched Otome as she went home, took a moment to calm down outside, and then returned to the house.

After exchanging a few words with Sister Koharu, he went upstairs to take a bath.

After finishing his bath, he returned to his room, waiting for Aunt Kyouka to finish her bath so he could give her a massage.

With nothing else to do, Sasaki chatted with the idiot Chifuyu on his phone.

Today was Wednesday, the day Takagi would get his results.

It didn't take much to know that Takagi's scores hadn't improved much.

Chifuyu probably wasn't in the best of moods right now, so Sasaki deliberately didn't bring it up.

However, with a mischievous grin, he mentioned that Yukiha was tutoring him, saying that his diligent studying over the past few days would likely lead to a significant improvement in his scores this time.

He also asked Chifuyu some rather difficult questions, showcasing his hard work and determination.

Every word was aimed at highlighting his progress, yet each one was a jab at the heart of the idiot Chifuyu.

Just imagining her teary-eyed and pouting while explaining the problems to him made Sasaki chuckle.

The more he saw her pitiful, upset expression, the more he wanted to tease and bully her.

But too much teasing could be harmful.

So, after having Chifuyu explain a few problems to him, they wished each other goodnight.

Sasaki then went downstairs to give Aunt Kyouka her massage.

After the massage, it was already 10:40 PM.

He checked the doors and windows around the house to make sure everything was securely locked.

Then, Sasaki locked his bedroom door from the inside and jumped out from the balcony.

...

Swimsuits, school uniforms, middle school uniforms, gym uniforms, middle school gym uniforms.

Otome was definitely growing.

She had already learned to take the initiative to satisfy his preferences.

But the frustrating part was that those clothes couldn't be torn.

So, after getting intimate with Otome, Sasaki immediately bought a large pile of disposable clothes and stockings for her on his phone.

Although there were many items, they were disposable, so they weren't expensive.

Otome, who was frugal, felt a little guilty about the expense but didn't say much after seeing them.

Thursday afternoon, during the break after the fifth period.

Sasaki sat at his desk, reminiscing about the wonderful time he had last night while checking on his phone to see when the delivery would arrive.

Hmm... because he bought the clothes in front of Otome last night, he didn't place the order for Momo and the others at the same time.

Sasaki spent the whole day today buying equipment for Momo, Rinka, Natsuha, and even the little succubus, including but not limited to clothes.

Among them were items for the hands, feet, mouth, and even for little flowers...

Since he spent most of the day shopping on his phone, Yasui Sara, who sat next to him, naturally became curious about what he was doing.

But when she saw that Sasaki was buying those indecent clothes, she blushed and softly scolded him.

... Just some words like "pervert," "lewd maniac," and "shameless," which were not particularly hurtful.

Those words had less impact than if she had kicked him.

Tap, tap—

Hearing the sound of someone approaching, Sasaki instinctively turned the page of the book he had been using to cover his phone.

Being seen by Yasui Sara was purely an accident.

No matter how thick-skinned he was, he wasn't comfortable enough to buy erotic clothes in class without batting an eye yet.

It was better to avoid any strange rumors about him.

So, he kept his head down, pretending to read the contents of the book, waiting for the person to pass by.

Unexpectedly, the person stopped in front of his desk.

"Hello, Sasaki-kun."
