“I’m tired.”
“You worked hard.”
It was after 3 pm on Saturday, after club activities had ended. At this point, Rir and I were dripping with sweat, so we wanted to get home and take a shower as quickly as possible. Our school also had showers, but weirdly enough, no one ever used them.
“You stopped hugging me after club, Rir.”
“I… I’m drenched in sweat. I don’t want to force that smell on you.”
“I see.”
As a girl, she must’ve been more concerned than I as a boy. I obviously wasn’t enough of a degenerate to forcibly sniff her after she said that she didn’t want me to.
“Come to think of it, Shuu, have you heard? What happened to that Jizou statue, I mean.”
“Hm? Yep, I did.”
Apparently, the statue’s head had been removed. I heard that it wasn’t Ayumu and Mika who fixed it this time, but some random passerby. It must’ve happened on Monday, but Ayumu only told me about it today. The reason it was found out this late was because said passerby had fixed it right after the head had been removed.
Well Sanada probably still would’ve found out the day after.
It was only the direct area around it that held the statue in such high regard. It was apparently famous for mysterious events occurring close to it.
“Why would someone remove the head?”
“Might’ve been the same as with you, Rir…”
“Oh, you mean they were controlled by something? So, someone other than me has fallen victim to it?”
Did someone go through the same stuff she did? Or was it just some prank…?
Considering you needed to do an Anazuman prayer to start the strange chain of events, it probably was the latter. If so, said prank might result in being haunted.
Lord Jizou was real, not just a statue, so you couldn’t treat him rudely. Though it was just us who knew that, no one else.
“What’s more important now is our date tomorrow! You’ll be taking me to the game arcade again, right?” Rir asked with a joyful look.
She looked awfully cute, but this time would be different. Would she still be happy with my new proposal?
…Alright.
“Nah, I was thinkin’ of goin’ somewhere else.”
“Woof? Somewhere else? Where will you be taking me, then?”
I’d been pondering both the zoo and the amusement park. Of those two choices, the zoo sounded like the better one. But then I remembered her keen sense of smell. Consequently, going to the zoo might cause her some distress.
With that being said.
“To the amusement park.”
“Woof! The Amusement park? Really!?”
“Yep, I’m serious.”
“Wow~!”
She jumped up and down like a little kid, almost dancing. The way her large, sweat-covered breasts bounced was- Nope, not going there.
“This is my first time going to an amusement park! Well, according to my Earth memories, I visited one in the past, but this will be the first time for real!”
“I see. Well, the other day, I was talkin’ with Ayumu ’bout date spots and told him we just walked through department stores.”
“Oh, you mean last Monday? When you shouted that you love me?” she bashfully asked right to my face.
I wonder what kinda expression she made when she heard that. Did it make her happy?
“Alright~, I can’t wait!”
“You’re lookin’ forward to it that much?”
“Yeah! I probably won’t be able to fall asleep today.”
Unable to fall asleep… huh. Might be the same for me today. Since I gotta be the one to bring up sex tomorrow. And not as impulsively as durin’ our first time in Anazumu.
I-I gotta practice, if possible. Practice how to ask her. What do I do if she refuses…? I better stop thinkin’ ’bout that. To begin with, would be weird for her to refuse.
“I-If you have trouble sleepin’ you could stay in my room tonight, too.”
“Woof!?”
She stopped moving and her already wide eyes opened even more.
“Wh-What do you think?”
“I’d love to!”
“Gotcha.”
Great. If she refused, I wouldn’t have brought it up again. And while we’re at it.
“Also, once we’re back home and done showerin’, it’ll probably be ’round 4 pm, right? We could take a long walk afterwards.”
“What’s going on with you today, Shuu? I’d be happy if we did!”
There was this hallucination again. I could see her tail and dog-ears move happily. It kept appearing.
“Shuu…! Oh.”
She was about to hug me but stopped herself. She sniffed her own armpits before hanging her head. If you asked me, she was too hard on herself. Well, she used to be a wolf, so it probably was something she couldn’t change.
“Rir, I don’t think you smell much of sweat. It was never somethin’ that bothered me from the start… and right now, there ain’t no other people around…”
“…Woof… Awoo…”
She threw herself at me, as if her body had acted on its own. Her breasts, damp with sweat and better visible than usually, looked- Nope, still not going there.
I rubbed her back.
