**Chapter 23: Viola Rosemary’s Confusion**
(Oh dear… What kind of lewd things am I doing…!)
As Viola Rosemary leaned closer to Rest while teaching him, she writhed internally. If it were permissible, she would want to roll on the floor in embarrassment. Although she appeared calm, pressing her chest against him, she was far from composed. It was merely her fierce determination to suppress her shame, fueled by her rivalry with her twin sister, Primula.
(Ugh… How can Primula be so unfazed…? She’s so close to a boy our age, and on top of that, she’s wearing such a risqué outfit…!)
Viola was clad in a yellow negligee. While it was her loungewear, it wasn’t as scandalous as it might sound. However, the noticeable cleavage that had recently become apparent was clearly visible, and the fabric was thin. It was acceptable around family or other girls, but it was definitely not appropriate to wear in front of a boy of the same age.
(I never intended to wear something like this; it was all Primula’s fault for wearing it first…)
Today marked the beginning of Viola’s tutoring sessions with Rest, but she had not planned to do so in a negligee. She had intended to wear a casual dress she usually donned, but then her sister Primula had emerged in a light blue negligee. Viola blushed at her sister’s boldness, and Primula smiled triumphantly at her. Fueled by rivalry, Viola quickly changed into a negligee of a different color.
“Rest, this problem will be much clearer if you read this reference book!”
“Um… Is this right?”
“Excellent! Wonderful!”
As Rest solved the problem, Primula praised him and hugged him tightly. Viola, not to be outdone, immediately pressed herself against him from the other side.
“Great job, Rest! Keep it up!”
(Th-This is just unfair! Primula is usually so quiet, always hiding behind me… Why is she being so proactive with Rest-kun!?)
To Viola, Primula was an adorable little sister. She was someone she would gladly protect, even at the cost of her own life—a part of her very soul. What should have been a figure to guard had now become a formidable rival for the affection of a single man.
(H-Has she grown without me knowing? Or is it because Rest-kun is special? Her chest has grown so much… At this rate, I might lose Rest-kun!)
Though the Rosemary sisters were nearly identical in hair and eye color and personality, Primula’s bust was slightly larger. Until now, Viola had never given it much thought, but it suddenly became a source of irritation. Feeling inferior in her feminine attributes only fueled her anxiety.
“Oh, how about this, sister! Instead of a reward, how about I give you an ‘punishment’ instead?”
When Rest made a careless mistake on a simple problem, Primula suggested this.
(P-Punishment? W-Wait… What is Primula saying!? What is she thinking!?)
“That sounds great! Primula, that’s a brilliant idea!”
Despite her inner turmoil, Viola found herself voicing the opposite. Seeing Primula, with her alluring expression and glistening eyes that belied her fifteen years, made it impossible for her to back down.
“Then, punishment it is. Here we go…!”
“Rest, please brace yourself…!”
(W-Wait… What am I doing to a man who’s neither my husband nor my boyfriend…? Hyaaaaaaaah!?)
Following her twin sister’s lead, Viola reached out her hand to administer the punishment to Rest. In reality, she was in a complete panic, feeling dizzy and on the verge of collapsing, yet she still let her fingers trail over the body of the man she longed for.
