VOLUME 1

Chapter 3: Part 4

The girls bought a plentiful amount of shoes and whatever, and of course I had to hold them as we returned home. Being surrounded by bishoujo, Orito seemed quite pleased. On parting, he made clear to me that I definitely had to bring the girls the next time we went bowling.

“Hah&h.e.l.lip; I’m beat! This world isn’t bad, is it?! It’s not just something I would throw away!”

As soon as she got back home, Haruna plucked the things I was holding away from me and leapt up the stairs.

She was probably going to start a little personal fas.h.i.+on show in her room.

“Wait, Haruna! Put these on! Naked if you could&h.e.l.lip; no, with a maid outfit!”

As I chased Haruna up the stairs, I took out a nekomimi (1) hair band. Of course, I had mittens shaped like paws too~~!

“You hentai! You Erobone Vanguard!” (2)

“Wha, This isn’t Cos...o...b..bylonia or somethi-“ (3)

Cutting me off, she quickly moved behind me and with a reverse frankensteiner (4) , sent my head flying into the floor of the entranceway. She would have definitely looked cute in nekomimi though&h.e.l.lip;

“Don’t be so rowdy please! It’s a bother.”

As if she had her feelings hurt by Sera’s words, Haruna violently ascended the stairs. I headed for the living room with Yuu to wipe off the blood that was flowing from my nose. Gotta get a tissue.

Alone, Sera gazed fixedly at the mirror that was decorating the entranceway. I secretly watched her to figure out what she was doing, when surprisingly, she picked up the nekomimi hair band and put it on.

“&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;&h.e.l.lip;. Nyah.” (5)

She faced the mirror and took up a pose. Then, perhaps getting embarra.s.sed, she quickly took the hair band off and threw it away from her.

What a charming thing to see. I had bought it to see if I could get Haruna to wear it, but I was fully satisfied with just this. I began to call out to Sera, but then decided that it was probably better if I pretended I never saw that.

Well, she let me see something nice, so maybe we’ll have pizza tonight&h.e.l.lip;
