Kyoto: I just want to be a gentleman

Soon, a rustling sound came from the living room, followed by heavy footsteps.

Getting closer.

Getting closer.

The girl curled up her body reflexively and hid in the corner of the stairs.

A hideous-looking man stumbled over holding an empty wine bottle.

His eyes were bloodshot and cloudy, unable to focus, his face was flushed, his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and there was a trace of undried wine stain at the corner of his mouth, making him look a little disheveled.

"Where do you want to run?"

The man muttered in a low voice, as if he was talking to himself, or as if he was talking to the air.

"Let you run."

"You're as cheap as your mother's cousin."

The man smashed the bottle hard on the girl's head.

With a bang, the wine bottle broke and the broken glass scattered all over the ground, but the smaller pieces seemed to be embedded in the girl's brow.

Blood slowly flowed from the girl's head.

a drop.

Two drops.

It dripped onto the wooden floor, and the ticking sound seemed somewhat out of place in the silent room.

The people upstairs seemed to have heard the noise downstairs and wanted to come down to check what was going on.

The girl's somewhat distracted mind immediately came to her senses after hearing the voice.

"Don't come down, Kouta."

But the girl's reminder was a little late. A young figure rushed down the stairs like an arrow, opened his arms, and used his small body to block the girl.

"Don't hit my sister."

"How dare you, you bastard?" Seeing this scene, the man laughed in anger and kicked the boy in the abdomen.

The girl was quick to move and held the boy under her body, taking the blow.

The man became even angrier and punched the girl with his huge fists like raindrops.

"Where did you hide your money?"

The girl clenched her teeth tightly and said nothing.

Chapter 12 Honesty is a virtue

Hideyuki Watanabe lives in Uzumasa Kinoshita-cho. Most of the single-family houses here are three-story buildings. They look old but not shabby.

As you walk into the courtyard gate, you will see a peach tree in front of you. Every March, the peach blossoms on the tree gather into pink clouds, floating gently in the ocean of green leaves.

Xiuxing quietly opened the door of the house with the key, then closed it carefully, locked the door, and then inserted the key into it with concern and put down a few latch locks.

After doing all this, he put his shoes into the shoe cabinet in the entrance and walked upstairs quietly.

His room is on the third floor.

Miyuki and Moka's room is on the second floor.

The first floor is the public area including bathroom, toilet, kitchen, living room etc.

Xiuxing finally felt relieved when he closed the door of his bedroom.

After all, half past ten was too late for Moxia who had to go to elementary school the next day, or Miyuki who had to work the next day.

Xiuxing sat at the desk, took out the still warm lunch box from his schoolbag, then took out a pair of chopsticks from somewhere like magic, sat upright, and began to enjoy his dinner.

As soon as the lunch box was opened, an enticing aroma immediately wafted out.

Really fragrant.

Xiu Xing exclaimed sincerely.

The carefully arranged dishes exude an alluring aroma. The rice is as white as snow, each grain distinct, and has a faint rice fragrance that seems to arouse people's most primitive appetite.

In addition to these, there are some exquisite side dishes and fruits in the lunch box. The side dishes are sweet and sour, adding a refreshing taste to the whole lunch box.

The fruits are cut into palatable sizes with the right balance of sweetness and sourness, which can both relieve greasiness and supplement vitamins.

After eating heartily, Hideyuki threw the empty lunch box into the trash can. What should he do next?

Looking back on today's experiences, Xiuxing felt that it was more exciting than the previous eighteen years.

what is the reason behind the scene?

Before Xiuxing could think about it, a sudden feeling of fatigue filled his body.

Take a bath.

Next step is taking a bath.

Hideyuki made a decision.

There is nothing more relaxing than soaking a tired person in a hot bathtub and then having a good sleep.

After making the decision, Xiuxing slowed down his pace and went downstairs quietly. When he reached the bathroom door, he found that something seemed wrong.

The bathroom door was not open as usual. Instead, there was a small gap, and a ray of light came through.

someone!

This was Xiuxing's first reaction.

Could it be that a thief broke in?

Hideyuki thought so and put his eyes on the gap.

He saw...

A back as white as snow.

and...a pair of busy hands...

By the body shape, Watanabe Hideyuki recognized that this was his beloved sister-in-law Kitajima Miyuki.

As a gentleman in Kyoto, how could he do such a dirty thing as peeping at his sister-in-law taking a bath?

With a strong sense of justice, he planned to return the same way and pretend that he had never been here.

Perhaps the scene he just saw was too shocking, or perhaps it was his sister-in-law's delicate hands that were stroking his thoughts.

all in all.

He was distracted.

I almost fell down because I wasn't paying attention.

"Who? Who is outside?"

Miyuki's cold voice echoed outside the bathroom.

Hideyuki thought to himself.

It’s over.

Yellow mud falling off the crotch——（）

Xiuxing knew very well that at this time, avoiding it would only make the misunderstanding worse.

"Sister-in-law is me."

Hearing Hideyuki's familiar voice, Miyuki in the bathroom finally felt relieved.

Then, as if realizing something, Miyuki's face suddenly turned red.

What is this kid Hideyuki doing outside the bathroom?

He wants to...?

What did he see?

Did he see and hear me...

Miyuki subconsciously glanced at the bathroom door, then looked at her own position. After realizing that she was not exposed, she picked up the bath towel next to her, wrapped her delicate body tightly, and walked out of the bathroom.

Xiuxing's eyes widened as he looked at his sister-in-law like this.

He had never seen such a Kitajima Miyuki before.

Her hair was wet, with water droplets dripping down her hair, crystal clear, as fresh and natural as morning dew.

Her face was slightly flushed due to the heat, like a touch of red glow in the sunset, adding a bit of charm to her.

Hideyuki could even smell it.

I smelled the faint fragrance emanating from Miyuki's body, which was a bit like the scent of lavender.

Seeing Hideyuki like this, Miyuki's expression turned a little cold.

"What were you doing outside?"

Miyuki's question brought Hideyuki back to reality from his fantasy.

He knew that if he didn't answer this question well, his image as a gentleman would be completely ruined in his sister-in-law's heart.

"I just finished dinner and went downstairs to take a bath. When I saw the light on in the bathroom, I was about to go back." Xiuxing answered sincerely, his eyes bright and clear. At the same time, he took out the underwear that he had placed in his right hand and prepared to change.
