Previously on The Power of Everything:
Makoto encountered Sekai during his way to apartment. Sekai decided to go to pool with her best friends which let Makoto reluctant to have Sekai in the same pool date. After Makoto arrived at his apartment. He unexpectedly encountered his little sister, Itaru. Itaru ran away from home and Makoto had no choice but to bring her in and let her stay. As Itaru was taking bath, Makoto noticed the news from TV which left him panicked. Soon after that, Saru warned him not to overkill next time. As the night passed, Saru slept peacefully on the couch while Makoto and Itaru slept together like a log.
CHAPTER 18
JUNGIAN PSYCHOLOGY & THE POWER OF PERSONA
Morning rose up. I opened my eyes and Itaru was still sleeping while hugging me. Although it's Saturday, I still had to go to school. I tried to move slowly not to wake Itaru up. I put away her hands and then proceeded to take a bath. I still got lots of time before school time. I took bath slowly and not for long, I finished taking bath. I went to the living room and saw Saru took a cup of tea. How unusual, that's what I thought for at least. Usually, he would be sleeping at this hour.
"Morning," he said to me.
"Good morning too," I replied.
Now that I mention it, I got the bag already. He would be joining with me to school. I figured that's why he woke up earlier. Without further procrastinating, I cooked food for Itaru, Saru, Kotonoha and me. Suddenly, Itaru woke up with such sleepy eyes.
"Big brother," Itaru called me.
"Good morning, Itaru. Did you sleep well?" I asked her.
"Itaru is still sleepy. But yeah, I had a good sleep thanks to big brother," she smiled.
Well, I am also sleepy. However, it couldn't be helped since I had school. The real question is what would Itaru do? I will go to school with Saru. That left Itaru alone. Should I escort her to school or should she join me or should she go home? Either action will cause some consequences for me. If I escorted her, I would be late for sure as her school is different than mine which is Moteharashou. If I asked her to join me, the problem is what would an 8-year-old child do in Sakakino school where the place is for High schoolers? If she goes home, it's hard for me to seeing her going home alone. I was thinking in full thought until Itaru noticed me.
"Big brother's going to school? Itaru is going to school then. Itaru will be joining to big brother again tomorrow in pool alone," she said.
Talk about lucky. At least, I could escort her to different train and then she could go to school as her school's distance from train is not very far. She did take bags when running away from home though. I asked Itaru to take a bath and she nodded. I quickly cooked food for us and I finished. I put all of them except Itaru's in the bag. As I had finished everything, I waited for Itaru to finish the bath and changing to uniform. I asked Saru to hop in my bag before Itaru saw him. He went in and I zipped the bag but left some small space air for him to breathe. She finished that and all of us were ready to go to school. It's a good thing Itaru didn't notice Saru. We departed from my apartment and I locked the apartment door.
We walked and walked until we reached to train station. There, I saw Kotonoha standing. She saw me and approached me.
"Good morning, Makoto-kun," she smiled.
"Go… good morning, Kotonoha," I stumbled.
Itaru looked at me with confused. She asked me a question.
"Big brother? Who is this?" Itaru asked.
"She is my girlfriend. Her name is Kotonoha. Kotonoha, this is Itaru, my little sister," I introduced both of them.
"Wow, big brother had a girlfriend? That's awesome," Itaru expressed her joy.
"It's nice to meet you, Itaru. Makoto-kun, you have a very cute loving sister. I wondered if my little sister will be able to make friends with her," she smiled.
"They will. Tomorrow, they will meet in pool," I said.
I told Kotonoha that she would join us at pool much to her delight. Kotonoha welcomed her even more. However, I haven't told Kotonoha that Sekai and the others would join too. I figured I should just tell her at lunch break then. My train destination is Gakuen-Mae while Itaru is in opposite direction. Itaru's train came first and she boarded it.
"See you tomorrow, big brother! Kotonoha big sister!" she waved and smiled at us.
I waved back at her and Kotonoha did too and hoped that she arrived school safely. Next thing I knew, my train arrived and we boarded it. Kotonoha and I had talk in train and as usual, I talked about the school lessons for today might be boring especially that Yamamoto teacher. She said that school lesson was fun and full of knowledge. I wish I was smart enough to be diligent student like Kotonoha. Hearing that from Kotonoha made me feel like delinquent student. Time passed by, train arrived and I walked to the school. After arrived, we headed straight to our classes. Kotonoha and I went separate and I opened my class door. Sekai, Setsuna, Hikari and Taisuke were already sitting in their places. I sat in my desk too. Not for long, bell rang. If it wasn't any better, it's Yamamoto's lesson today. While we were waiting, Sekai started talking with me.
"Makoto, I have already told Setsuna and Hikari. They both agreed that we will go to pool tomorrow," Sekai smiled.
"Sekai," I called her name with a slight disappointment since I wanted to be alone with Kotonoha.
After some time, the teacher finally arrived. But, that teacher isn't Yamamoto. It looks like another teacher, could be substitute replacement. But, he doesn't really wear teacher uniforms. He wore white coat, yellow t-shirt, glasses and a pencil on his left ear. He doesn't seem to be in passion for teaching. His appearance is more like unemployed person with that messy beard. I could tell all of the students including Sekai were shocked about that teacher. I could hear some of them gossiping loudly.
"Is he really a teacher? I never see him at school," one of the students gossiped.
"I bet he must be worse than Yamamoto," another student said gossiped.
After some gossips around, the teacher calmed them down and started lecturing.
"Everyone, Yamamoto is currently sick and I acted as his substitute for today only. My name is Edogawa. I work as a school nurse and I just recently work here. To be honest, I am not good in what Yamamoto is teaching. So, I could just use his lesson time to talk about other things that we haven't learned. Today, we are going to talk about Jungian Psychology," he lectured.
"Jungian Psychology? What is that? If this is going to be long lecture, then it won't be long that I would fall asleep. Some of the students here were unfamiliar with Jungian Psychology too," I thought about it.
"Now usually, the students ask me about their health. But sometimes I get questions like this: "Mr. Edogawa, what are Personas and Shadows? Apparently, I have them inside me."."
When I heard that words, I snapped out quickly and accidentally hit my table loud enough that all students heard it and looked at me. That couldn't be, Mr. Edogawa knew about Persona and Shadows too? Was it just a coincidence? This might be a good chance for me to learn more about them. If I have time, I should ask him some time after school. Before that, I notice I was in commotion and looked at students.
"Is there something wrong over there?" Mr. Edogawa asked me.
"No, no. It's nothing," an embarrassment fulfilled in my face.
Afterwards, I calmed down and the students' attention went to Mr. Edogawa again. Saru moved around in my bag and spoke something with very soft voice.
"Makoto, this is a good chance for you to learn more about it. I will also listen to the lecture," Saru said.
I put my face close to the bag and whispered, "I know, I was so shocked that this teacher knew about that. Could he be a Persona user too?"
"Just because a person knows about Persona and Shadows doesn't mean that he's a persona user. In any case, pay attention to what he said. There might be a clue to these surrounding incidents." Saru said.
Sekai looked at me with confused and I noticed her. I quickly turned my face to the teacher to avoid suspicion. Mr. Edogawa continued his lecturing.
"Then let us continue, it was quite a shock to learn that there are students that diligent out there! After all, not many children would come to me asking about Personas and Shadows from Jungian psychology. This lecture will cover them. Let us study the science of the human mind that Dr. Jung built. The lesson is what are "Shadows" and "Personas"? These terms are used to describe the workings of the human mind. But what exactly are Personas and Shadows? According to Jung, they are other "yous" inside yourself. Let's start with the Persona. It is the "other you" that comes out when you interact with others. Think about it: When you talk to someone, is that the real you? Or was it the "you" that the person you were talking to was expecting? Or the "you" that you want people to see? Either of those "yous" are a Persona. Personas are like masks. They connect you to the outside world by acting as the medium through which you present yourself. That sounds like a helpful "other you," doesn't it? Personas are there when you need them. But Shadows, though...they are the "other you" that you reject. A good way to think about them is the "you" that you don't want to be and don't think of yourself as. Shadows are just that: shadows. They are the side of you that you keep locked away in your mind as "evil." Sounds like a scary "other you," eh? It appears that you need to handle Shadows with care. Hehehe. Now, Personas and Shadows are both "other yous" that you usually aren't aware of. So then, why aren't you aware of them? It's because they lurk deep inside your mind...in your "unconscious." The unconscious is the source of Personas and Shadows, and the foundation of Jungian psychology. It's important to understand, so let's take a closer look at this "unconscious." The unconscious is the source of the mind's activity. So, you, you, and yes, even you, all have an unconscious deep within your mind, separate from the conscious mind you're aware of. The unconscious is said to be much bigger than the conscious mind, too. Like the part of an iceberg that's under water. It is in this realm that you cannot explore that the power to change yourself lies. This power is the same as "other yous" inside your mind, the Personas and Shadows, that I was just talking about. The "other yous" live in the unconscious, lying in wait for the chance to make it out to the conscious mind. Now, let me add one thing to that: an important secret about the unconscious. This get to the heart of the truth about your mind, and the truth about the world. The unconscious within your mind is actually not just yours! Human minds are all connected, transcending space and time. In other words, Man's unconscious is shared! But answer me this. Have you ever noticed that no matter what the era or location, man tends to have certain sensitivities? That's not something I just came up with. Jung's thorough, painstaking research suggested that man's unconscious is shared. And that network is known as the "collective unconscious." Now, the other "yous", the Personas and Shadows, to tell you the truth, they are deeply tied to this collective unconscious. They are "archetypes"; images born from the collective unconscious. It's starting to become quite a handful, isn't it? Collective unconsci-what? Arche-majig? Speak English, you egghead! I can hear the screams from your heart. Hehehe. But by the time my lectures come to a close, you'll no doubt be saying, "That was soooo cool-lectively unconscious!"," Mr. Edogawa gave us a very long lecture.
I wasn't acting like usual. I paid attention and focused even more than before. This lesson has something to do with the power that I wielded, the Persona. So, what Mr. Edogawa said did make sense. Perhaps, the Shadows that I saw last time were born from human mind that they didn't want to accept. If that's the case, then I am in big trouble. How many people in this world that do not want to accept their dark self? It must be millions. I see that all of students in this class including Sekai, Setsuna, Hikari and especially Taisuke do not really pay attention as they don't understand what he lectured. I could see their faces that they were like almost dying and their soul like came out of their body. Had I not wielded the power of Persona, I would have not listened either.
"Now then, it looks like our time is up. That's it for today," Mr. Edogawa closed the lecture.
The lunch break bell rang when I seriously wanted to listen more about Persona and Shadows. But, I supposed I could just look for Mr. Edogawa personally. Come to think of it, when he mentioned about this lecture, does he have Persona power too? It's quite unlikely. He then left the classroom and all of students who were dead in listening his long lecture suddenly came back to life and started going out somewhere to canteen or other places. As usual, I prepared to go to roof to meet Kotonoha until Sekai interrupted me a while.
"Makoto, how could you focus so much to what that teacher said? Do you understand it?"
"Ah, yes. More or less," I said to her.
"Ehhhh, you must be very clever. It is unusual. Usually, you would just daydream," Sekai teased me.
"Shut up," I got embarrassed.
"In that case, I will go with Setsuna and the others again. Makoto, have you asked Sawanaga-san? You should ask too," Sekai reminded me.
Now that she mentioned it, I forgot to ask him. I nodded to her and she left me. I called Taisuke and he came to me.
"Makotooooo, I couldn't survive. His lecture killed me," he cries comedically and felt depressed.
"Ah, ha ha ha," I just laughed little.
"I swear teachers these days give such an annoying lesson," he complained.
"It can't be helped. It is in our education system. Anyway, this could cheer you up. Tomorrow, do you want to join me to pool in Aqua Square? Kotonoha, Sekai and the others will come too," I invited him.
"SE…. SERIOUSLY?" he expressed his joy highly.
I nodded to him and he said," OF COURSE I WILL JOIN. I can't believe finally I get to see those girls wearing swimsuit."
I looked at him with deep stare.
"Pervert," I said to him.
"Who are you calling a pervert?" he contested that with flustering.
"But anyway, thank you so much for inviting me. You are the best buddy ever," he grinned widely.
I couldn't help but to accept his happiness. Then, a vision showed me a Tarot Arcana card, Magician. A voice echoed in my mind.
"I am thou, thou art I… Thou has acquired a new bond. It shall become the core of universe that dispels even the world. With the birth of Magician Arcana, I have obtained the winds of blessing that shall lead to universe and new power."
The vision and voice vanished once again. Then, I told Taisuke that I would like to go somewhere and then I left with taking my bag.
I ran quickly and as I opened the classroom door, I bumped to a student girl. We both fell down. I must apologize to her quickly. I offered my hand to her.
"I'm sorry," I apologized to her.
"It's okay," she said.
I couldn't look at her face clearly earlier. Then as she stood up, I noticed that she was my junior high school friend, Roka Kitsuregawa.
"Kitsuregawa!"
"Ah, Itou!"
"Long time no see, it's been good to see you," I expressed my shock seeing her all sudden.
"Yeah, I know."
"What are you doing?" I asked her.
"It's nothing. There's just an issue," she said.
"I see. Well, I don't really have time. But, come talk to me if you need some friend talk," I smiled to her.
"Okay," she nodded.
I left her. While I ran, I looked back to Kitsuregawa and it seems like she was angry for some reason. I noticed a student boy with glasses. It seems to me that he was chasing Kitsuregawa but she didn't notice him. But, I didn't know him so I just keep running and then went straight to roof. There, Kotonoha had already waited for me.
"Makoto-kun," she called me.
"*huff, *huff. Sorry, Kotonoha. I took long than usual."
"That's okay, Makoto-kun."
I just remembered I fell down earlier and the impact must have been rough for Saru. So, I put the bag on the bench and opened the bag.
"Ouch, that falling hurts," he complained.
"I'm sorry, I just bumped a friend of mine in junior high school," I said to him.
Kotonoha just giggled seeing two of us got close. Not only that, she's the only one who knows that Saru goes with me to school and the only one who knows Saru could talk. I took out all food and three of us ate together. I noticed that Kotonoha didn't bring any food. Why was that? Has she given up on cooking for me?
"Kotonoha, I didn't see you bring food today. What happened?" I asked her.
"I'm… I'm sorry, Makoto-kun. I ran out of ingredient. But, I will cook for you tomorrow and bring it in pool," she promised me.
I smiled. At least, I could taste her food soon. While we were eating, Saru, Kotonoha and I talked lots. It's mainly about our powers, Persona and the substitute teacher that gave a lecture to us earlier.
"Saru, what do you think about lecture earlier? Is Mr. Edogawa making any sense?" I asked Saru.
"Yes, he could be. After all, Shadows are naturally born from human. They are actually part of human conscious," he said.
"Mr. Edogawa?" Kotonoha asked me.
"Yes, Kotonoha. Yamamoto didn't come today and a substitute teacher named Mr. Edogawa replaced him for today only. He talked about Jungian Psychology which is about Personas and Shadows much to my surprise. If I recalled correctly, you have Yamamoto's lesson today right? He will be likely teaching you soon after lunch break," I mentioned that substitute teacher to Kotonoha.
"I see," she replied.
"Saru, is it possible for other people to have Persona power too?"
"No, it is not possible. Only me and you who are Master's special case can wield the power of Persona. That teacher will mostly don't have Persona," he was sure of it.
"I see," I nodded showing agreement.
"Hey, Makoto-kun, Saru-kun, who is this master that we are talking about? Why does Makoto-kun have Persona in the first place?" Kotonoha asked.
I had no idea how to explain this to her. I couldn't just say that a long nose man gave me this power. She wouldn't take more any of these. Swallowing the bitter truth about us having power is more than enough. Saru told her that he didn't know anything prior about me having Persona why as he was born not long ago.
"I see. I hope I can see this master of yours someday, Saru-kun, Makoto-kun," she smiled.
I wondered if Kotonoha may enter Velvet room one day. Come to think of it, I haven't been in Velvet room for quite some time. Should I visit? However, I have no business in there. So. I decided to wait until I have business in there. Since we still have time, I decided to ask further about Persona's status and abilities to Saru.
"Saru, I wondered about something. I need to know whether our Personas actually have impact to real life other than Shadows' attacks. I mean, like my Persona Izanagi, he's weak against Wind attacks. So, will normal windy weather or fan weaken me?" I asked him.
"Very good question. The answer is yes. As long as our Personas are vulnerable to that element, we will feel weak for it. An example for my Persona Utsubozaru is weak against fire. So, a small fire like from match will burn me for sure. Which is the reason why I can't cook even if I wanted to," Saru explained.
What he said did make sense. At least, I managed to avoid elemental weakness in real life so I won't be affected. Kotonoha who was still listening could understand a little, just as you'd expect from student council member and diligent student. We finished eating food together and just in time, the bell rang. It's time for us to head back to class. Saru hop in my bag and Kotonoha and I went back to class.
As usual, the lessons came back into boring one unlike earlier from Mr. Edogawa which was interesting enough for me to focus. I guess I hoped that Yamamoto would get sick again so I could listen more to Mr. Edogawa's lecture. But, that's unlikely to happen. I survived the class until school's over. So, I stood up and headed straight to school gate. However, when I was about to pass courtyard to school gate, I saw Kitsuregawa sitting there alone. Her face seems like depressed and in trouble. I couldn't help but want to comfort her. I approached Kitsuregawa and she seems to have noticed me.
"Hi, Kitsuregawa," I greeted her.
"Oh, hello, Itou," she greeted me back.
"Kitsuregawa, what's wrong with you? If you have a problem, feel free to share with me. I am your friend after all," I comforted her.
"Thanks, Itou. The truth is a student boy named Yuuki Ashikaga came into the clubroom while I was changing. I hated him for being unmanly and not apologizing. However, it was just misunderstanding. He didn't actually mean to peep. Her sister, Chie Ashikaga and I are close. I didn't know he has a sister until I came into her apartment. It's just pure luck that I saw him again. Chie went and said dumbest thing and said that Ashikaga and I should date, something that I didn't really expect. I indirectly hurt Ashikaga by saying that he was not asked to be born like woman. I met Ashikaga again when I was taking the balls back to clubroom. I turned my face looking away because I still hated him for being unmanly. I screwed up and the balls fell down. He decided to help me. I felt like he's a good person. The next thing, we unexpectedly met in Kuroda's family cake shop. Chie said that we would do practice and we would meet in front of Kuroda's family cake shop and she also asked Ashikaga to buy cake. That's her plan all along. Although it wasn't my intention, we were forced to go inside by Kuroda-san. We ate together and talked about lots of things including Ashikaga's family. That's when I felt like he's really something. It turns out he wasn't pervert and bad person. The next day which is today, we passed each other and I was about to greet him. But he just went and said that he's busy and was about to go somewhere. That's not kind of attitude that I expected which leads me to a bit depressed and anger. That's when I bumped you and where I am now," she explained deeply to me.
"I see. Was he wearing glasses?" I asked her to confirm.
"Yes. How did you know?" she asked.
"I think I might have seen him earlier. He was chasing you," I said to him.
"Really?" she asked to verify.
"Yes. Do you want to meet him?"
"Ye…. Yes. But where is he now?" she asked me.
I went silent a bit, took a deep breath and closed my eyes. It's time for me to change Persona. I changed into Izanagi because he has the ability to see and sense aura with a very long distance. I closed my eyes and inspect Yuuki Ashikaga's aura. His aura is somewhere in this school and it's close. Not only that, his aura is filled with negative emotions. It's more like jealousy. I opened my eyes and looked at back side of courtyard. I spotted Ashikaga in second floor. He noticed me and then quickly turned away. I got the information and I passed this to Kitsuregawa.
"I know where he is. He's currently in the second floor near class 1-4. You can still catch up to him if you are fast enough before he leaves the school," I told her.
"How did you know? Were you and Ashikaga friends?" she looked at me in confused.
"No. I… uh, we weren't friends actually. Don't worry. Believe me," I told her.
"Yes! Thank you, Itou. I'm glad I spoke this matter to you," she became happy again and smiled to me as if she trusted me.
I felt her friendship towards me and then a vision showed me a tarot arcana, Sun. Then, a voice echoed in my mind.
"I am thou, thou art I… Thou has acquired a new bond. It shall become the core of universe that dispels even the world. With the birth of Sun Arcana, I have obtained the winds of blessing that shall lead to universe and new power."
The voice and vision vanished. Kitsuregawa stood up and started running to chase him. Well, I guess that's one problem solved. I am glad I could help her. However, something bothered me. First, his aura was filled with negative emotions. This might cause terrible misunderstanding in the future. Maybe he also liked Kitsuregawa and when he saw us like that, he must be thinking that we're dating. Secondly, what is he doing in class 1-4? Isn't that Kotonoha's classroom? But, it must be my imagination. He must be looking for his friend. I decided to shrug it off and started leaving.
"Makoto, are we going home?" Saru asked me while in my bag.
"Yes, we are now. Sorry, I took so long," I apologized to him.
I headed straight to school gate. There, Kotonoha had been waiting for me.
"Makoto-kun," Kotonoha called me.
"I am sorry, Kotonoha. I took so long because I was talking with my junior high school friend. She was sad and I tried to comfort her," I told her the reason.
"I…. see," she seems sad and perhaps jealous.
I assured Kotonoha it's nothing and I told her that she's the only one for me. Telling her that somewhat cheered her up. She smiled again and then we walked together to train station. I felt some disturbing presence looking at us but when I turned back, there was no one there. I must let my guard up all the time. While we were walking, the weather was a bit unfriendly. It was cloudy and had a very high humidity indicating that it's going to rain soon. Not for long, we walked quite fast to reach to train station. Sooner than that, it started to rain heavily and accompanied by strong wind. Normally, wind like this wouldn't cause me sick. But this time, I felt my body was weaker than usual one. I started sneezing even though the wind was not that strong. This must be because Izanagi is weak to wind. I couldn't believe that this elemental weakness would affect my body really hard. I quickly closed my eyes and changed my Persona to Kurama Tengu which absorbs wind. When I changed it, I felt my body is getting stronger and healthier. The wind which affected me badly before now has become a good impact for my body. I could feel that it converts to stamina which is why I am no longer sneezing and my body felt great. But, rain is still rain so I held Kotonoha's hand and we started running.
"Saru, bear with me for a while. We are going to make a run to train station," I said to him.
"I know that already, I hate being wet. My beautiful fur," he complained.
We ran and ran until we reached train station. Our clothes were quite soaked in water. My new bag was filled with water. It won't be easy to clean it up. We were waiting for the train for a while.
"Um, Makoto-kun, if you'd like. Will you stay over to my house?" Kotonoha invited me.
"You sure? I'd love to. But, my uniform got wet and I didn't bring any spare clothes," I said to her.
"It's okay. My father still has his old clothes back when he was young. I am sure it will fit you perfectly. Besides, tomorrow we will go together with Kokoro to pool in Aqua Square," she smiled.
Oh my god, I forgot to tell Kotonoha that Sekai and the others will join to pool. It won't do any good to delay any longer. So, I told her that Sekai and her friends will join. Kotonoha didn't seem to mind them. That gave me a bit relief but still, I was sad that I couldn't get to enjoy with Kotonoha alone.
"Saru, what do you think? Do you want to join me staying over in Kotonoha's house?" I asked him.
"Wherever you go, Makoto, I'll go too," he agreed indirectly.
That's settled then. Saru and I will be staying over at her house. Kotonoha's really happy when she heard that. Then, the train arrived not long. We boarded the train. While we were in the train, Kotonoha said something.
"Um, my mother and Kokoro don't really mind if you bring pet, but my father doesn't like pet at all," Kotonoha showed sadness.
"In that case, we would try to keep this a secret from your father and sneak Saru in," I smiled to her.
She nodded and the plan is set in motion. It's still raining but it slightly decreased already. My uniform is totally wet but with the air conditioner inside the train, it dries up very fast. Kotonoha couldn't stand the cold air mixed with water. She sneezed little. I offered her a tissue and she gladly accepted. Soon, the train arrived and we went out. We walked slowly because the rain has stopped. It was almost sunset and night time. I just hope that her father wouldn't get angry to her again. Not for long, we arrived to Kotonoha's house.
We rang a bell and guess who opened it. It was Kokoro. She's like before as always. She's so cheerful and optimistic.
"Welcome home, big sister and big brother," she greeted us.
I greeted her and we both went inside. I put my bag in the living room and whispered to Saru not to come out until we finished changing.
"Big sister and big brother got so wet," she said.
"Yeah, it was raining earlier," I told Kokoro.
"Kokoro, where's mother and father?" Kotonoha asked her little sister.
"Mother is working overtime and father is not going to return home until Sunday night," Kokoro relayed her parents' messages.
"I see. Kokoro, can you prepare clothes for Makoto-kun? Just take father's old clothes. I would like to take a bath first," she said.
"Yes!" she said happily.
As soon as Kokoro went off, Kotonoha pulled me into the bathroom. Her bathroom was so big and she had a jacuzzi only this time, it's very big. It feels like hot spring. I couldn't wait to dip in as soon as Kotonoha finished bathing as the rain earlier made my body cold.
"Makoto-kun… would…. Would you take a bath together with me?" Kotonoha asked shyly.
"Eh?" I couldn't believe what she said. I stirred my eyes and look at her widely.
"I wanted to….. take a bath with you," she said again with such a shy expression face.
I froze for quite long and I had nosebleed.
"Ah, Makoto-kun," she noticed my nosebleed and quickly wiped it off.
I snapped out and I apologized to her that I was looking and thinking like a pervert. She said that she didn't mind of it already because I was her boyfriend. I looked at Kotonoha with sparkling eyes. She really loved me so much. However, I still felt being uncomfortable to have a bath with her because Kokoro's at home. It would be different if she's not at home.
"What about Kokoro? Won't she find us bathing together and tell your parents? If we get caught….," I told her and before I could finish, she interrupted me.
"It's okay. Kokoro expected it already. In fact, she always asks me about adult stuff like kissing which annoys me. But, Kokoro is a very good little sister and respect privacy," she adores her little sister.
That gave me even huge relief. Without waiting any longer, Kotonoha took her clothes off one by one. Her uniform, her bra and then her underwear. She's completely naked at this moment. I admired her body for a while and was daydreaming. She approached me and undressed me one by one until I am also completely naked.
"*giggle, it's so big," she touched my penis.
Then, she pulled me into jacuzzi and the hot bath is way good for me. I sat down and she sat right in front of me. She laid her body onto my body. This sensation feeling is really like heaven. Of course, I got a boner too. It's not comfortable as Kotonoha might feel it. I'm really a pervert boy. But, this is actually common in every male. No male would be able to resist this. Kotonoha held my hands and put it in her breasts. Without being commanded, my hands moved by itself fondling her breasts.
"How's it? Makoto-kun? Do you love it?" she asked me.
"Ye… yeah. Your breasts are so big," I said.
The next thing she did, she held my hand and put it in her vagina. I rubbed it. She felt so good just from touching it.
"Ah, Makoto-kun," Kotonoha said my name.
I looked at her and she looked back. We kissed. We kissed quite long until Kokoro interrupted us.
"Big sister? I couldn't find big brother anywhere? Have you seen him?" Kokoro asked.
I was startled for a while. We broke the kiss. Kotonoha put her finger into my mouth which indicated to stay calm and quiet for a while.
"Makoto-kun went to convenience store for a while. He will be back soon," Kotonoha said.
There's no way Kokoro would buy that excuse or at least that's what I thought.
"Okay," she said.
Wait, what? She bought it? Wow, she's really as innocent as her big sister. I giggled. I told Kotonoha that we couldn't stay in bath for too long as Saru also needs to get in bath and Kokoro might get suspicious. She agreed nevertheless and then we washed each other's body, put on shampoo and get cleaned as soon as possible. This is the best bath that I have ever taken. The best thing is I get to sleep with Kotonoha soon. This day couldn't get any better.
