Chapter 8: Help and Sailor Uniform

Help and Sailor Uniform

Today is Monday, and I'm supposed to be at school, but I don't have my uniform yet, so I have today and tomorrow off.

Ryo and Nae-chan have school, so breakfast time is earlier than yesterday, so I had prepared earlier for that...or so I thought, but it took them longer than I expected to get ready, so I headed to Ryo's house a little late.

Starting tomorrow, I'll have to get up 30 minutes earlier.

When I got to the entrance, Ryo and Nae-chan were about to leave.

"You're late, I'm just about to go out so I don't have time to deal with you. I'm going now, so just wait patiently."

"Rui-nee! Girls take their time in the mornings, you need to get up earlier! Well, I'm off!"

"Haha... Have a nice day."

Ryo, who has a pretty good voice, and Nae-chan, who has a dignified voice, passed each other and I saw them off together.

It seemed that Uncle Yoshimichi had already left.

I ended up being the only one eating breakfast, so I'll have to get up earlier tomorrow and not cause any trouble.

Maya-san was cleaning up and washing the dishes, then started doing the laundry, she really seemed like a real housewife.

What I'm saying, she IS a housewife.

As for me, both my mouth's capacity and stomach have shrunk, so I don't know the pace at which I eat or the amount of food I eat, and it's taking a long time, but I'm not losing weight, so it will probably take some time to understand.

I don't think it would have taken more than 10 minutes for this amount of food when I was a man.

I went to the hospital with Maya-san to get a diagnosis for TS syndrome and headed to the city hall.

"I've been given directions to a psychiatric hospital, so let me know if you need one. I think Rui-chan will be fine, but if you feel anxious, please ask for help right away ♡"

Maya-san did almost everything at the government office, she was incredibly reliable.

All I had to do was fill out the paperwork I was asked to do.

I finished everything I had to do for the day in the morning, and it's still before noon, so I don't know what to do...

"Rui-chan, I'm going to make lunch now, can you help me?"

"Oh, yes, please help you."

I get food every meal, so I'll help out at least that much, and I was bored so it was perfect.

"Oh, that's right! Why don't you try learning to cook while you're at it? If you can cook, you'll be able to win their hearts ♡"

"Whose stomachs are you planning for me to win over? But I'll try to remember it since I have the chance. It will come in handy when I can go shopping by myself."

"Well, then, let's start today by learning how to cut ingredients and make a simple stir-fry ♡"

"Yes, please do."

No matter what anyone says, I think girls who can cook are attractive, and it wouldn't hurt for guys to remember that.

That said, I had never even held a knife properly before, so after being taught the very basics of how to use it, it was after 1 pm before I was able to make a stir-fry dish.

I also had rice and leftovers from breakfast for lunch with Maya-san.

The taste was quite bland and a failure. I realized that I needed to take the moisture from the vegetables into consideration, but I didn't realize that.

Maya-san chats happily and smiles often, and she has a mellow voice that I'm sure captivates all men.

She doesn't look like she's 40s, she looks like he's around 30s, although I'm only 16 and my powers of observation are unreliable. At my age, all people between 40 and 60 look the same to me.

"Can I ask you to help me again around 5 o'clock?"

They provide meals every day and take care of me in many other ways, so I want to help out every day as a way of repaying their kindness.

"I understand, I'll continue to help with dinner. I'd actually like to help in the mornings too, but I can't get up yet, so I'll help once I can get up properly."

"Oh, is that okay? Then I guess I'll ask you to help me improve my cooking skills too ♡"

"Y-you're welcome!"

"Then you can do as you like until then ♡"

So now I'm free, but I don't have anything to do so I'll just kill time by lazing around in Ryo's room again.

I took out my smartphone, put down a cushion, and then I realized I should just lie down on the bed from the beginning. If I fell asleep, I'd wake up in bed anyway, so it would be a good idea to save Ryo the trouble.

So I lay down on my bed, set the timer on my smartphone, and started browsing the sites.

When I lie around, I can really smell Ryo's scent, especially the pillow. It's so calming, I even bury my face in the pillow and breathe.

I should probably cover myself with the blanket too...I feel so safe and secure, surrounded by Ryo's scent - it's amazing.

I can't believe I've become such a smell fetishist, it's no wonder people call me a pervert if they see me like this.

I wonder if it's okay for a man to feel calmed by a man's scent, even though I have a girl's body now.

All this calmed me down and I fell into a peaceful sleep.

My shoulders are shaking violently

"Hey, Rui, wake up! Hey!... Are you going to wait until I give you a kiss?"

"...Hmm?!...Huh?! What time is it?"

"It's past five o'clock already, mom told me to wake you up, is there something wrong?"

"Oh, I was fast asleep, thanks for waking me up, I'm going to Maya-san's place."

"Hey, are you okay? You're still not fully awake."

I woke up and tried to stand up and walk immediately, so I felt a little unsteady, but Ryo supported me.

"Hey! Are you sure you're okay? I'll keep supporting you like this until you fully wake up."

It's not so much that I'm being supported, but rather that I feel like I'm being hugged from the front, and it smells like Ryo.

...Oh no, no, I have to wake up and go to Maya-san's place quickly.

"Ah, yeah, it's fine now, see you later."

•

"Sorry Maya-san, I was sleeping soundly."

"Don't worry, I'm just cutting vegetables now ♡"

Seeing Maya-san having already finished making one dish, I felt remorseful.

•

"Rui-chan helped me with dinner tonight, applause ♡!"

"Ohhhh" *claps*

"No, it's embarrassing so please stop, I haven't been able to help much."

"Well, she was sleeping soundly in my bed."

"What?! In Onii-chan bed?! That's nice~ I'm jealous."

"Right now, the only ones allowed to sleep in my bed are me and Rui, it's our love nest."

"Oh!"

"Don't 'Oh' me! It's just that Ryo's bed is so relaxing!"

"Oh!"

The other three people except Ryo look at me and grin, and Ryo is smiling, I said stop looking at me like that!

"Which side dishes is Rui's homemade?"

"She doesn't have any side dishes yet, but she helped with this chopped carrots ♡"

"Then I'd like extra carrots please."

"I thought you'd say that, so I made a lot of them ♡"

"As expected of mom... Rui, next time I want to eat the side dish you made."

"First of all, I have to get to a level where I can produce it, so it's still a long way off."

"Alright, I'm number one!"

Unfortunately, today is a failure. Well, if I can make something decent, I'll let him eat it.

Today I woke up 30 minutes early and was able to join Ryo's family for breakfast.

Of course, the air wasn't as relaxed in the morning as it was at dinnertime, and Maya-san was making her lunch instead of joining in the meal.

Since I ate late, all I could do was see Ryo and Nae-chan. I wonder if I'll be able to make it in time to leave tomorrow...?

I helped clean up and chatted with Maya-san before going with her to get my sailor uniform.

"Sailor uniforms are so neat and tidy, I think they suit Rui-chan's blonde hair well.

But I've heard that if your breasts are big, you'll look fat ♡"

I returned to Ryo's house and tried on the sailor uniform.

"Um, this is... it's true, oh, my chest might be a little tight..."

"I wonder if they can change it to a larger size. I'll ask, so wait a bit ♡"

This might be a little harder than I imagined, as it's like this when I'm standing upright and not moving, so I think if I do move around, it could even pop.

"Rui-chan! I think we can get you a bigger one by the end of today, but it'll be until the evening, is that okay?"

"It's totally fine, it's going to be really bad if we don't change it."

I think I can manage, so I'll ask Maya-san to go with me in the evening to exchange it.

"Oh, this seems to be okay."

"Yes, yes, that's how I want it to look. Then you fold the skirt like this so it's above the knee ♡"

"Oh, so that's what everyone was doing."

It's true that more than half of the girls were wearing their skirts above the knee. I'll try it tomorrow and if it looks too long, I'll stop.

We decided we had something to talk about after dinner, so we sat in the living room and talked about what would happen from tomorrow.

Everyone in Ueno family are present in lecturing me.

"For a while, don't go out by yourself, and continue to go to school with Ryo as before. I know you can't always be together at school, but don't forget that you're a girl now ♡"

"Don't forget what we taught you yesterday!"

"The restroom will probably be the staff restroom for a while, and you'll have to use an empty classroom or somewhere else to change. I think it would be safer if Ryo accompanied you while you changed ♡"

No, on the contrary, it might put my chastity at risk, I thought, but there was no way I could say that in front of his parents, so I just laughed bitterly, hahaha.

"I don't mean to threaten you, but there are a lot of people at school with all kinds of opinions, and even if they don't say it directly to you, there will always be people who will say or do mean things to you. But you have Ryo, Nae, and us, so we will definitely support you and you can rely on us ♡"

"That's right, if anything happens, be sure to call me, I'll try to be as close as possible, Rui."

"Onii-chan is popular, so girls might get jealous. I was the younger sister, so it wasn't that bad, but it might be pretty tough."

"Well, if a guy who wasn't your friend before approaches you, you have to be careful."

"If you and Ryo become lovers, it will all be solved, but that's all up to Rui-chan's feelings ♡"

"Um, yes..."

"That being said, no one can deal with this completely right away, so for now it's fine to just carry on as usual. Even if you hear about it, there are some things you can't understand until you've experienced it to some extent ♡"

These people have thought about it a lot and are using their experience to give advice about school life from tomorrow onwards.

Even though I'm told to be careful, I honestly still don't know what to be careful about, but it comes across.

So I have to answer properly.

"I understand, I'm sure I'll cause you all trouble and may do some wrong things, so please let me rely on you all!"

School starts tomorrow
