SHCF – Chapter 23

Yuuka suddenly barged into the bath, and I instinctively covered my son.

“Yu-Yuuka, why did you come in here? You said I could go first, didn’t you?” (Yuuto)

Feeling flustered, I asked without looking at her.

“Eh? Well, you can’t use your injured hand, right? It’ll sting if it gets wet, so I thought I’d wash you like I did before.” (Yuuka)

Yuuka sounded eager.

“It’s okay. I can manage it with one hand.” (Yuuto)

The moment I said that, Yuuka pressed her index finger to my lips.

“But if you do that, you’ll probably miss some spots and it’ll be tough, so I’m not accepting any refusals.” (Yuuka)

She made an X with her fingers.

“Yuuto will quietly let me wash his hair and body.” (Yuuka)

She said that and pressed up against me.

Through the single bath towel between us, I could feel Yuuka’s softness, so to rid myself of worldly desires, I poured cold water over my head.

Yuuka ended up getting splashed a bit too and let out a scream, but thanks to that, she stepped away from me.

“In that case, I have one condition. Let me cover myself with a bath towel too—and please let me wear a blindfold.” (Yuuto)

I begged her, then wrapped a towel around my lower body myself and had Yuuka put the blindfold on me.

It felt a little loose, but maybe that was just my imagination.

Everything was ready.

“Okay then, Yuuka. I’m counting on you.” (Yuuka)

Though I couldn’t see anything with the blindfold, I could tell from her presence that she was right behind me.

“Yes, leave it to me. I’ll start by washing your hair.” (Yuuka)

She began pouring warm water over my head, little by little.

Before shampooing, she gave my head a light massage. It felt so good I almost let out a pitiful sound.

“Yuuto, how is it? Does it feel good? Kaori taught me how to do this. What do you think?” (Yuuka)

Yuuka asked a bit nervously.

“It’s fine. It feels really good—I like it.” (Yuuto)

“I’m glad. Then I’ll do it for you even outside the bath, okay? Now I’ll shampoo you.” (Yuuka)

With that, Yuuka began shampooing my hair.

It felt so good that I started to doze off.

“Yuuto? You can’t fall asleep yet. We still have to wash your back, you know.” (Yuuka)

She said it gently.

“I’m okay… I can still stay awake…” (Yuuto)

I answered in a sleepy voice.

After she finished washing my head, it was time for her to wash my back.

“Okay, Yuuto, next I’ll wash your back.” (Yuuka)

I heard the sound of body soap being pumped.

She washed me gently, but something felt off.

It was that she was washing me with something incredibly soft.

My mind jumped to an impossible conclusion, but I tried not to think about anything and just endured it.

After my back was done, it was time for the front—but then…

“Please, anything but the front. Let me wash that myself, I’m begging you.” (Yuuto)

The moment I bowed my head to plead, I accidentally bumped into something soft, and just as I was about to apologize again, the towel used as a blindfold slipped off.

What spread before my eyes was—

Yuuka, her entire body covered in soap.

My prediction had come true, and I…

“Uh… was this Kaori’s idea too?” (Yuuto)

When I asked if Kaori had taught her this as well, Yuuka nodded.

Still shaken from seeing Yuuka naked, I ended up getting into the bathtub without even rinsing off the soap.

Yuuka rinsed the soap off her own body, then got into the tub and hugged me from behind and whispered in my ear.

“Yuuto, are you mad?” (Yuuka)

Her voice was filled with worry.

“I’m not mad. But I am surprised.” (Yuuto)

I wasn’t angry—just too flustered to react normally, so my tone came off cold.

“Next time, I’d like you to wash me normally.” (Yuuto)

When I said that—

“Didn’t my body feel good?” (Yuuka)

Yuuka asked, her eyes shimmering with uncertainty.

“It did feel good, but you don’t have to do things just because Kaori told you to.” (Yuuto)

When I said that, Yuuka shook her head.

“I did it because I wanted to. Kaori just gave me advice, that’s all.” (Yuuka)

I see…

“If it’s something you want to do, then it’s okay. But please tell me first—so I can mentally prepare myself.” (Yuuto)

When I said that, Yuuka nodded, and I got out of the bath, changed into my clothes, and—though I forgot to dry my hair—went straight to bed.
