Chapter 31 Small and Big

Small and Big

I was now being massaged by Ichika.

She said she was good at it herself, and yes, her touch was quite good. It felt so good as she relaxed my whole body.

First I got my back and shoulders massaged, and now I’m lying on my back and getting my chest and stomach massaged.

“Takumi-nii…You’re surprisingly muscular.”

“Really? No, I don’t work out, so I guess it’s normal.”

“But your stomach is so hard compared to my Mom’s. I wonder if it’s because you’re a man…”

While saying this, Ichika stroked my navel area. I wonder if this is a massage…It tickles.

“Hey, what a body you have, Takumi-nii, you have such a strong body.”

Her face was red, so I felt a little embarrassed too. It’s nice of her to compliment me, but I’m not proud of it because I’m not muscular at all. I guess I’m just skinny because I skip a lot of meals.

At least compared to that guy, I’d have to say I’m a bean sprout.

“Compared to Takeshi, I’m not much at all.”

…Oh, not good.

I realized that after I said it.

I had unconsciously mentioned that guy’s name. I don’t know if it’s because I feel inferior to Takeshi…but there’s a part of me that unintentionally compares.

I’m not sure if it’s okay to mention that guy’s name in front of Ichika.

She seemed to dislike him quite a bit, so I tried to avoid mentioning his name as much as possible, but I was…careless.

“My brother is kinda rugged and black…For me, Takumi-nii is just good. His skin is white and beautiful.”

But Ichika doesn’t seem to care.

That’s good. I guess it doesn’t matter as long as it gets lost in casual conversation.

Or maybe it was me who was too conscious——that may be the case.

“I don’t really like muscular people. It feels like male pheromones and it scares me a little. So please don’t work out, Takumi-nii.”

“…Well, for me, I’d like to have more muscles.”

I don’t know if it’s my body constitution, but it’s hard for me to gain muscle. It’s also hard to gain fat, so I don’t gain weight…I think the cause is my diet, so I want to get a healthy body. If I do that, I might be more like a man.

“Takumi-nii is good enough. Oh, but I think you should do some more flexibility exercises or something because your body is generally stiff!”

“Seriously…am I that stiff?”

“Yeah. Well, not as stiff as Mom’s.”

Speaking of which, Ichika-chan said that Hana-san has been getting worse lately.

Hana-san seems much stiffer.

“Mom, you know, her shoulders are especially stiff…see because her br🬀🬀sts are so big! Why are some of them so big when her body is so small?”

“Hmm…I don’t think Ichika can talk about that either.”

“Hey, I’m not small! I’m only 3 centimeters shorter than my mom, and I’m sure I’ll grow bigger too when I go to high school.”

Perhaps attracted by my statement, Ichika puffed out her chest and tried to make herself look as big as possible. But because of her small body, it didn’t look big at all…and the flabby part of her that was visible through her uniform was even more pronounced, so I couldn’t help but look away.

Will her height increase when…she enters high school?

It’s possible that only her br🬀🬀sts and not her body will grow like Hana-san’s, but I didn’t want to tell her because I knew she would get upset if I did.

Well, I think that kind of reaction would be cute, so I’d like to see it——
