In the end, Busujima Saeko still didn't explain whether her breasts would hinder her movements.
According to Busujima Saeko, her breasts were like her long twin-tails; had her twin-tails ever hindered her combat?
This explanation... was truly speechless. Can breasts be compared to twin-tails? Twin-tails are so light, how can they be used for comparison?
Because of this, every time Inaba Tsukiyo saw Busujima Saeko, she couldn't help but want to ask her about anything and everything.
Because of this matter, Busujima Saeko often visited Inaba Tsukiyo's home with Sister Shizuka. The three of them spent more and more time together, and their relationship grew better and better.
Soon, the two no longer used honorifics for each other. Inaba Tsukiyo directly called her Saeko, and Busujima Saeko called her Tsukiyo.
After getting close, Busujima Saeko, while still gentle, also tried to tease Inaba Tsukiyo. She had noticed Inaba Tsukiyo's easily embarrassed personality.
Whenever she had time, Inaba Tsukiyo would go to the Busujima family's dojo for sparring.
Under Inaba Tsukiyo's guidance, Busujima Saeko's strength improved greatly.
Although she wanted to teach Busujima Saeko the Un'yō technique, she decided against it, considering that Saeko was a successor of the Busujima Style.
Unknowingly, Inaba Tsukiyo had been in this world for about half a year. The end of the year was approaching, and New Year's and Christmas were just around the corner.
The leisurely days did not make Inaba Tsukiyo relax. She was contemplating when the disaster would erupt.
If the disaster truly erupted, then how should she protect Sister Shizuka and Busujima Saeko?
If Sister Shizuka, with her natural cluelessness, wasn't protected, she would surely be in danger. Busujima Saeko was also from Fujimi Academy, so if danger arose, Busujima Saeko should be able to find Sister Shizuka at the first opportunity.
During these six months, Sister Shizuka had taken Inaba Tsukiyo to visit Fujimi Academy again, a very large school.
During the tour, a male teacher wearing glasses looked at Sister Shizuka with a very strange gaze.
The possessiveness revealed in his eyes was obvious even to a fool.
Even though this guy had a smiling face, putting on a 'I'm a good person' act, it only made him more annoying.
Fujimi Academy differed greatly from Kyonohoka Academy. Fujimi Academy did not have the same facilities as Kyonohoka Academy.
Thinking about it, it was only natural, after all, Kyonohoka Academy knew about the outbreak of the crisis from the beginning, while Fujimi Academy was just an ordinary school.
If a disaster really broke out, then the school certainly couldn't serve as a shelter. Even if the cafeteria had food reserves, there was no telling how many survivors there would be at that time.
This Christmas, Sister Shizuka brought Busujima Saeko to her home as guests.
Speaking of which, Inaba Tsukiyo hadn't seen Sister Shizuka's police friend in these six months.
Although she had heard from Sister Shizuka that her name was Rika, Rika's assignments meant it took a long time to see her whenever she was on duty.
To create a Christmas atmosphere, Inaba Tsukiyo was forced to change into a Santa Claus outfit, and it was the kind with a super short skirt.
It was an off-the-shoulder Santa Claus outfit. Inaba Tsukiyo could never understand why such off-the-shoulder clothes didn't fall off.
It turned out there was a transparent strap holding the clothes up, but such a strap would probably tear off with a little force.
In short, this was the most revealing outfit she had worn in hundreds of years; she looked exactly like a heroine from an adult anime.
(fuhai: A Santa Claus costume with a very short skirt? I feel like there's an anime that has a similar outfit.)
"Why do I have to wear this kind of outfit, Sister Shizuka? If anyone should wear it, it should be you and Saeko, who have good figures. I don't look pretty in it at all."
Pulling at the hem of the skirt with both hands, with this length of skirt, one's panties would probably be visible with a slight bend at the waist.
When did this person buy such clothes? Why didn't she know?
"Eh~ What does it matter? Isn't Tsukiyo-chan cute like this anyway? Although Tsukiyo-chan is cute normally too."
Sister Shizuka, who didn't feel she had done anything wrong, smiled silly and hugged Inaba Tsukiyo, constantly admiring Tsukiyo.
"Hmm~ Whether it's the bells on Tsukiyo-chan's twin-tails, or Tsukiyo-chan's cute face, you look just like Santa Claus. You must be the gift Santa Claus sent me, right?"
"Calm down, Sister Shizuka. I've been here for almost half a year, and you forced me to change into this."
Inaba Tsukiyo pushed Marikawa Shizuka away, tapped her on the head, then joined Busujima Saeko in helping with the decorations.
As for letting Marikawa Shizuka help, Inaba Tsukiyo hadn't even considered it; after all, she would only make things worse.
Time flowed by, and as the New Year's bell chimed, the three of them raised their juice glasses.
"Cheers! Happy New Year!"
"I'm digging in! Mmm mmm~ I've been hungry for so long, I can finally eat Tsukiyo-chan's cooking!"
Marikawa Shizuka happily ate the dishes Inaba Tsukiyo had prepared, while Busujima Saeko looked at the food before her with a complicated expression.
It wasn't that the dishes Inaba Tsukiyo made weren't delicious; it was just that Busujima Saeko had been observing while Inaba Tsukiyo cooked.
Busujima Saeko felt a lot of pressure watching Inaba Tsukiyo complete dishes even with her eyes closed.
Could this be the legendary Mind's Eye? Busujima Saeko couldn't help but wonder.
Legend has it that when a swordsman cultivates to a certain level, they awaken the Mind's Eye.
Even if an enemy tries to deceive them, with the power of the Mind's Eye, they can see through hidden foes. Had Inaba Tsukiyo already reached this level?
Busujima Saeko couldn't stop her thoughts from wandering, but she was soon interrupted by the adorable Marikawa Shizuka.
Led by Marikawa Shizuka, Busujima Saeko and Inaba Tsukiyo also happily ate the meal.
That night, the three of them slept together in one bed.
Inaba Tsukiyo lay in the middle, held simultaneously in the embrace of Marikawa Shizuka and Busujima Saeko.
Is this hell? Or heaven? This was what Inaba Tsukiyo thought before she fell asleep.
If she had encountered such treatment during the time she had just become Inaba Tsukiyo, it would definitely have been heaven for her.
But she had completely assimilated into this identity, and now, facing the embrace of two well-endowed older sisters, she didn't know what to do for a moment.
The next day, after finishing their morning routines, the three of them prepared to go to the temple fair.
The three of them changed into kimonos they had prepared in advance. Marikawa Shizuka and Busujima Saeko held Inaba Tsukiyo's arms, one on each side, just like a family.
The trio attracted a lot of attention.
Inaba Tsukiyo's cuteness, Busujima Saeko's Yamato Nadeshiko, and Marikawa Shizuka's adult charm captured the gaze of most young men. Even some The Boys, whose waists were being pinched by their female companions, couldn't snap out of it.
This was Inaba Tsukiyo's first time at a temple fair, and she was curious about many things.
Her normally mature personality, when faced with the novelties of the temple fair, was just like a real thirteen-year-old Little Girl, pulling Marikawa Shizuka's and Busujima Saeko's hands to play at various stalls.
Whether it was cotton candy, candied apples, takoyaki, or shooting games, goldfish scooping, or water balloons, Inaba Tsukiyo didn't miss out on any of it.
Watching Inaba Tsukiyo, who seemed like a child, Marikawa Shizuka and Busujima Saeko, standing behind her, were both beaming with smiles.
Previously, when they spent time with Inaba Tsukiyo, she always seemed like a little adult, sometimes like an adult who had lived a lifetime, always able to utter profound insights about life.
The childlike Inaba Tsukiyo they saw now was what they most hoped to see.
Only such an Inaba Tsukiyo would make them feel close to her, and her unreservedly showing her true nature in front of them was also a sign of trust for them.
Finally, the three of them drew lots to see what their fortune would be for the year.
There was no great luck as imagined; Inaba Tsukiyo got minor luck, Busujima Saeko got moderate luck, and Marikawa Shizuka got Sueyoshi (Suekichi, the last luck).
It wasn't that Sueyoshi (Suekichi, the last luck) was bad, but the slips all stated that they would face a great disaster this year.
This disaster was unavoidable, and they had to confront it.
'A disaster? It seems the disaster will happen this year, but I wonder when it will break out.'
If only she knew the information about this world, if she could know the information about this world, she wouldn't be so passive.
Actually, she had learned about it, but she had long forgotten those memories. Hundreds of years, so long that she could even forget her original name or hope.
Herrscher Tsukiyo might be able to discern something from the deeper layers of her memories, but she believed Herrscher Tsukiyo, for the sake of watching the show, would definitely not tell her anything.
Given this, she needed to pay attention. Based on the worlds she had visited, the people she had encountered should all be key figures.
Marikawa Shizuka and Busujima Saeko, although she didn't know if they were the protagonists of this world, should also play a role in advancing the world line.
Furthermore, every time a disaster erupted, it would be concentrated in a specific time period.
It was only the beginning of the year, and school was on holiday. Busujima Saeko and Marikawa Shizuka hadn't gone to school, so the disaster should at least be several months away.
Since there were still a few months, improving Busujima Saeko's strength was still feasible. As for Marikawa Shizuka… forget it. Teaching her a few self-defense techniques in daily life would suffice, just those few moves every girl knows.
(fuhai: Do you know what moves? That's right, those that target the lower body!)
Then, she would have Marikawa Shizuka carry pepper spray and a butterfly knife.
Marikawa Shizuka was an adult, so carrying these things shouldn't be a problem, right?
Even if there was a problem, with her Police Uncle friend's help, even if Marikawa Shizuka was arrested by the Police Uncle, she could still be released, right?
Also, Marikawa Shizuka's medical skills were becoming more and more proficient.
Every time Busujima Saeko got injured during training, Marikawa Shizuka would go to treat her, so she had no choice but to become proficient.
Soon, the season of cherry blossoms would arrive.
