CH 4

“Ah, Doumoto, you got a minute?”

During a weekend around the time for lunch break, on my way back from the washroom, I was stopped by the history teacher.

When I went over and asked him what was wrong, he told me that he had to go to the staff room immediately and wanted me to return the book to the reference room. Sure enough the staff room is on the first floor and the reference room is on the third floor and are almost on the opposite sides of the building, so if he was in a hurry, it would be faster if I went to return the books in his place.

“I’m fine with that. But you owe me one.”

“Haha, I get it. I’ll buy you a juice or something next time.”

Then the teacher turned his back on me.

I said he owed me one, but it was only as a joke. That teacher is very kind and popular among the students, and if he said so, I’m sure he will buy me a glass of juice at some point in the future.

[TLN- Note that I dunno if the history teacher is male or female, so for now I’ll just go with he/him]

“I’d better get to the reference room.”

Holding the book I received from the teacher, I went to the third floor and entered the reference room.

I’ll be out soon, so I’ll leave the door open, and this book is probably in the end. Without turning on any lights, I headed toward the end and put the book back where it would have been originally.

“That’s it—”

Let’s return, I thought at that moment.

But then, I heard the sound of the entrance closing with a clang, and it sounded like it was locked as well.

“!?”

I wasn’t worried about being locked inside.

Even if the door is locked from the outside, it can be opened from the inside. So nothing surprising there. But I was a little freaked out because it was a little dark. The first thing that comes to mind is the fact that the room is so quiet and eerie when you’re alone, I should hurry up and get out of here.

“Seriously, who the h**l closed the door—?”

“IT’S ME-EEEEEEEE!”

“Dowaaaahhhh!!!!????”

The voice echoing from behind me startled me out loud. I turned around to see that it was Aina. I let out a big sigh as I saw her chuckle at the success of her prank.

“Ah it’s just you, Aina-san.”

“What a terrible thing to say, Hayato-kun!”

I was more excited than thrilled by her sudden appearance, Aina, one of the school’s most beautiful sisters. It wasn’t because I was nervous in front of her but I thought my heart would stop as I was startled by her sudden appearance.

“Ahaha, sorry, sorry. I saw Hayato-kun walking around with a bunch of books. I got curious and ran after you.”

“I didn’t realize that someone saw me… Then you should have called me instead of doing this.”

“Sure that was possible, but we’ve never been involved with each before, right? And if we were to suddenly have a friendly conversation, I thought it might cause trouble for you, Hayato-kun.”

…Ah, so that’s why… I guess she’s afraid of some rumors being started. She was just thinking of me, but well, since Aina is wary, I’m grateful for her concern, even though she followed me without being noticed.

“But you know, I wanted to talk to you too, Hayato-kun. Since we’ve come to call each other by name, and whenever we make eye contact, I make sure to wink at least.”

“Well… That’s, true…”

After that incident the day before yesterday, Aina started giving me a small wave or wink whenever she saw me. I also modestly raise my hand in return, but it’s basically the usual trend for the boys around me to misunderstand and be pleased.

“It’s still lunch break, so why don’t we chat a little?”

“That’s totally fine.”

Yay, Aina cheered, taking my hand and leading me to a nearby chair. We sat down in the two chairs that were lined up just right, and Aina was the first one to speak.

“It’s almost Halloween, do you have any plans, Hayato-kun?”

“Yeah. I think I’m going to get together with some friends, will dress up a little, and have some food.”

“Hee— dressing up… seems fun! What kind of costume are you going to wear?”

I was about to say straight out that I was going to wear a pumpkin helm, but I instantly swallowed my words. I’m sorry but I need to lie.

I then said that I will be cosplaying a character from a certain anime.

“I see. I hope I can get to see it too.”

“Please don’t, it’s embarrassing…”

“Fufu, I don’t mean to embarrass you, I’m sorry, I’ll let you off the hook now.”

Glad that she understands what I mean, seriously.

But I never thought I would be talking to Aina like this again like we did back then. After all, I thought it would be a one-time encounter and would never happen again. We talked quite a bit, and when she asked if there was anything I wanted, I simply told her there was a new game coming out soon.

“The things I want… hmmm, there aren’t that many, but guess I can say that now. There is something I want, but the case is my sister wants the same thing.”

“I see.”

“Yes. But that’s because it’s the one and only precious thing that exists. I love my sister too, so I will be sharing it with her.”

“Ho~ you’re really close, really close.”

It’s a blessing to have siblings who are close, really.

“Well, but…” Aina continued, “she will find out soon enough, until then I’m thinking of monopolizing it a little.”

“Won’t you get into a fight with each other or something?”

“I think she’ll just laugh at me and say, “What a troublesome little girl!” and that’ll be the end of it.”

The more I listened, the closer I felt to these sisters.

“You’re really on good terms… Uwa!”

As I was about to continue to tell her that they’re good sisters, a spider got in front of me from the ceiling pulling a thread. I involuntarily screamed out, but Aina, who was there, did not seem surprised at all, and rather happily shook her hand.

“Hayato-kun, are spiders not your thing?”

“I guess I’m bad with them…”

Small spiders, not so much, but big spiders are something I’m not fond of. I think it’s weird to see those long arms and legs moving so fast and scurrying around.

“I guess I don’t mind spiders. In fact, I like them.”

“That’s unusual for a girl.”

Aina, who chuckled at my words, continued with a small spider in her hand.

“You see, spiders are smart. They form their own territory with threads and never let their prey go once they enter it. They wait until it gets tired, and then they devour it as their food.”

It’s true that spiders are like that. But it’s kind of an amazingly strange sight, to see Aina talking about spiders in this manner.

“Lure in your prey with sweet temptations, then put out the strings to create a siege and entangle that prey… Yea, yeah, it would be kind of cool to put it this way, wouldn’t it?”

“… I doubt it.”

“Muu, is it just me then…”

Her cheeks puffed up, as if my reaction was not what she was expecting.

“I thought it was a cool statement but perhaps it Missed. Mumumu”

Perhaps it was because she pulled herself back a bit that she hit her back against a shelf behind her. With a yelp, the shelf shook a little and the file on top almost fell off.

“Look out!”

“Kya!”

I reached out and pulled Aina closer to mine. I let out a gasp when I saw the file fall with a dull thud on the spot where Aina had been. It was only files, but if it were to hit on head, it would hurt a lot.

Well, I’m glad she wasn’t hurt.

“Thank God.”

The words just leaked out from my mouth..

“I knew it. There’s no doubt.”

“Aina-san?”

“There’s no mistaking of the feel of these hands either… Aha…hahahahahahahaha!”

“Are you all right…?”

It was scary if someone started laughing all of a sudden so I urged her to stop.

“I’m sorry. Hayato-kun, who saved me, was so cool that I burst out laughing from happiness.”

I’m not too happy to be called cool because you suddenly started laughing… and the lunch break is almost over!

“Aina-san, if you don’t get back soon, you’ll be late for class!”

“Ohh, really, I must get back soon!”

I guess we talked more than I thought we would.

We quickly left the reference room and returned to our respective classrooms. Fortunately, because of the proximity of the class, we did not see any other students, and Aina and I returned to our classrooms without being seen by anyone.

“… How wonderful… I can’t stand being stared at and touched at such close distance.”

The girl whispers at the boy’s back as he leaves.

Aware of her flaming cheeks, her hand was naturally invited to her stomach.

“I can’t wait… I want to be impregnated by you.”

The girl, with a bewitching smile on her face, looked away from him regretfully and returned to her own classroom.
