Hello and welcome to an experimental and first-ever fanfic of Tonikaku Kawaii, in which a new inspiration popped into my head in an unexpected way, as I happened to watch the series via Aniplus, and though the series was quite cute and entertaining, upon watching episode 12, which showed that Nasa came close to MAKING LOVE to Tsukasa, an idea popped into my head as I decided to try something between the two main characters as they were never shown doing something beyond kissing…and this made me decide to try it out.
While I managed to find the Tonikaku Kawaii category, I was surprised that there is only one fanfic made, and I decided to see if this fic would attract fans given that this is my first M-rated story…so here's hoping that it might attract fans who want to see Nasa and Tsukasa go beyond the lovey-dovey stage…
While it would show comedic scenes, the actual scenes would appear in the upcoming chapters, so a little patient a the plot is of utmost importance…
Well then, read on and enjoy!
Ch. 1: Ishitsu-mono dōjin
The scene shifts at the Arisugawa Bathhouse where Kaname Arisugawa and Tsukasa Yuzaki are working together to entice patrons to try out the Bathhouse, as Kaname managed to upgrade the place slightly to make the Bathhouse look enticing, in a way to attract customers, and suggested to Tsukasa to work part-time as a way to earn money due to her and Nasa being married.
Though Tsukasa politely declined, she was convinced otherwise as Kaname said that if Tsukasa has a means to earn, then Nasa won't be pressured to find a part-time job that's too demanding of him, which Tsukasa slowly gets the logic, though Kaname partially felt that Tsukasa's cuteness might attract potential customers.
This ploy slowly worked as Tsukasa was outside the Bathhouse and holding a placard with the name of the Bathhouse, and a group of customers were slowly enticed by her cuteness which made them decide to ask her about the rental fee of the Bathhouse.
"Excuse me…"
"Did the sign says bathhouse?"
"Is it near here?"
"Can we use it?"
"And the price is reasonable?"
"Can it accommodate us?"
"We might consider using it…"
"Can we…?"
Although a bit intimidated by the customers, Tsukasa managed to compose herself and led the customers inside the Bathhouse where Kaname took over and explained the rest, and soon the Arisugawa Bathhouse got its first set of customers and there Kaname have Tsukasa the thumbs up gesture, showing that Tsukasa did a good job
After some few minutes Tsukasa went back outside and displayed the placard to entice more customers, and there another group of customers, this time female university students saw the placard and approached Tsukasa for inquiries, and after hearing her out, the female students were enticed to try out bathhouse as they felt the need to relax themselves before heading to school.
"What do you say?"
"Sounds enticing…"
"Guess having a bit of a bath sounds good…"
"Me too…"
"Should we?"
"I say yes…"
"Then it's settled…"
"Let's go…"
Tsukasa then led the students inside and Kaname handled the rest, and after being told of the fee, the students began huddling and are discussing about splitting the payment in order to save money, and they eventually came to an agreement.
"What do you say?"
"I got mine…"
"We can split our cash…"
"The amount would be okay…"
"Here's mine…"
"Okay. it's settled."
"Then we're good?"
"Yeah."
Kaname smirked as the university students proceeded to use the bathhouse, and there she told Tsukasa that she did a good job, as her cuteness played a factor in attracting customers, thus they now have a means to earn money, though Tsukasa humbly said she didn't do anything special other than holding out the placard and stood there.
But Kaname assured to Tsukasa that she did well and Nasa would be pleased to hear this but Tsukasa urged Kaname not to mention this to her husband, as she is quite shy in telling him this and he might feel pressured if he finds out that she works part-time at the bathhouse, though Kaname promised that Nasa won't do anything reckless once she talks to him later.
She also tells Tsukasa that Nasa is very understanding and said that he won't be an insecure person as he knows that both him and Tsukasa should find ways to earn money for their daily expenses, hence she assured to Tsukasa that Nasa won't make a big deal over this.
"Really?"
"Yeah. Nasa won't make a fuss over this."
"I don't know, Kaname…"
"Relax. You got nothing to worry."
"You sure?"
"That's right."
"…"
"Trust me."
Tsukasa was slowly persuaded and there she is told to continue her work as she went back outside to display the placard and attract customers, while Kaname secures the cash register machine while attending to the customers' needs, and a few minutes later Tsukasa came back with another group of customers, this time male middle school students, and they began to ask Kaname the fee in using the bathhouse.
After hearing it, the students began to huddle and discuss if they should go for it, feeling that the price is reasonable, but they were attracted by Tsukasa's cuteness but in the end they came to an agreement and tells Kaname that they will use the bathhouse.
"We would like to use it."
"Yeah."
"Me too."
"We want to feel refreshed."
"We will pay."
"We got the money."
"Can we?"
"Please?"
As Kaname led the students inside, Tsukasa sighed as she wondered how Nasa is doing, hoping that he is doing fine and not overexert himself, as she doesn't want anything bad to happen to her husband, and she went back outside to do her job.
As the customers are enjoying themselves, you can hear them commenting that the bathhouse is good and everything looks nice, though the students admitted that they were taken in on how cute Tsukasa is, not knowing that she is already married.
"Saw the girl earlier?"
"Yeah…"
"She's cute…"
"How old is she?"
"Must be a university student…"
"Man…we're still middle school students…"
"But she is so cute…"
"Wish I could ask her out…"
-x-
Several hours later, Kaname is slowly closing the bathhouse after a day's work, and so far the bathhouse generated enough money and she promised Tsukasa that she would have her share of the money, and while cleaning the bathtub area, Tsukasa saw something on the bench, and Kaname checked it out, where she smirked as she seemed to know what this object is.
"Hmm…what would Tsukasa do if she finds out…"
Tsukasa peered and became interested as she believed that the object is a manga, which is one of her favorite, as her hobby include reading manga, and asked Kaname if she could read it, and a smirking Kaname asked Tsukasa if she is sure about that.
"You want to read it?"
"Yeah."
"Are you sure?"
"Yup."
"It might…"
"No worries, I'm used to horror genre…"
"You sure you won't freak out once you read it?"
"No problem."
Intrigued, Kaname decided to let Tsukasa read the manga, as the latter glanced at the front page, which appeared to be based on the manga/anime, Groove Adventure Rave, where the titled is called "Cattleya nee-chan Daikatsuyaku", which Tsukasa assumed that it was a story featuring Haru Glory and Cattleya, not knowing that something is odd about the manga.
As Kaname peered over Tsukasa's shoulder, Tsukasa began to read the first few pages, which the illustrations appeared to be wholesome, until reading the next few pages, where Tsukasa's cheeks reddened while steam billowed through her ears, while Kaname snickered at seeing Tsukasa's reaction, where the latter was flustered in embarrassment as it showed that the pages she saw contain ADULT scenes.
The said scenes featured the featured characters naked, and doing lewd acts in FULL DETAIL, which caused Tsukasa to tremble in embarrassment while Kaname didn't appeared to be bothered at all, as if she is used to the said scenes and there Tsukasa asked what kind of manga is this, where Kaname revealed that what Tsukasa is reading turn out to be an adult doujinshi.
"Huh…?"
"You heard me, Tsukasa."
"This…isn't…a manga…?"
"Nope. It's a doujinshi."
"A…doujinshi…?"
"That's right."
"…"
"You okay, Tsukasa…?"
Tsukasa's eyes twitched upon hearing the explanation as Kaname explained to the other girl the kind of manga she is reading, saying that it is sort of popular among the teens and anime fans who wanted to see their favorite manga/anime characters in ADULT SITUATIONS, and this made Tsukasa more flustered at realizing that she had just read an adult-oriented reading material.
"So then…"
"You're reading one."
"…"
"It's popular as it featured popular anime characters doing ecchi stuff…"
"Ecchi…stuff…"
"Yeah, though since the censors are prohibiting adult stuff from being sold on bookstores, doujin artists made these stuff and sell them online and through underground…"
"…"
"Tsukasa? Are you okay…?"
Tsukasa was blushing deeper as she is pondering on whether to keep reading or stop, but because Groove Adventure Rave is among her favorite manga/anime, she is curious as to how the characters would act in these kind of situations, and there Kaname tells Tsukasa to read it, as there is nothing wrong about it given that she is old enough to read adult stuff since she is already 18 years old.
Moreover, she also tells Tsukasa that she would benefit in reading the doujinshi as she would get to learn NEW STUFF where she would use this knowledge to ROMANCE Nasa, which made Tsukasa stare in bafflement when hearing what kaname said about how to show more romance toward Nasa.
"Huh? Romance…Nasa…?"
"Yup."
"But…we are doing lovey-dovey things…"
"But all you do is kiss on the lips, holding hands and embracing…but you haven't go beyond that…"
"Uh…"
"Believe me when I say that you could learn a thing or two about showing more love towards Nasa."
"Really?"
"Really. I'm sure that Nasa would love it when you show him how to show MORE LOVE…"
Meanwhile, Nasa is seen doing part-time work, and while shown to be doing well, he sneezed as he felt that someone is talking about him, and wondered if Tsukasa is thinking of him at a time like this.
"I wonder…is Tsukasa talking about me…?"
To Be Continued...
Hope you liked this chapter, as things showed that everything appeared normal, and while Tsukasa is shown to be doing part-time work, she would get to discover something she never expect to happen, like discovering a doujinshi which she mistook for an ordinary manga, and there Kaname decided to use this as a way to make Tsukasa and Nasa go beyond the normal romance stuff…
While Nasa only appeared at the end, he would be shown more in the upcoming chapters…
