Chapter 64 (1/2)

Next Episode 64: Seibu Rein Childhood Rape-arc

Being pulled by the hand by Rein, we arrived at the insides of the forest.

I could not express it with any other word but a forest. Rein seemed to know a certain route, but from my perspective, I simply had no clue.

I still haven't released Rein's hypnosis. I was walking together with her while her mind was still that of when she was a little girl.

What was it that the child-minded Rein was trying to get me to do after having played around that much? I moved while being swept along by my curiosity.

“Mmh.”

Rein was firmly glued to me, turning around several times despite holding my hand. Since she walked quickly during childhood, there were many times where she ended up straying away from me.

Come to think of it, Rein is not the type of person to walk in front of others. I can see why.

While pulling and jerking my body that wanted to stop and stand still several times, she brought me to an unknown place.

“Great……it's there.”

“What is?”

Rein stopped at a place that had no markings in particular.

“Say, Rein. Why don't we go back together and have a shower?”

“Come!”

Disregarding me, Rein pulled my hand. She's really a forceful fellow.

If I don't choose the proper time to remove the hypnosis, then I feel as though I would meet a painful fate.

“Uwoh, a bush.”

“Come……ngh!!”

No, even if you pull my arm, I'll still hesitate.

I hate bushes. There are definitely strange insects in there.

The seswept clothes that clung to me felt really disgusting. I might end up catching a cold from this.

Perhaps upset because of my slow walking, her mouth made an へ shape.

“Ok, ok.”

“Welcome.”

Upon pus.h.i.+ng the bush aside, I could see that a hut made of wood was there.

Even among huts, it was one of most gritty types. How should I say it, the lumber was arranged like a cage, and the roofs and walls had been made to look like something that resembled such. It was a hollow hut.

“A secret base?”

“Wrong. It's MY HOME.”

(TL Note: MY HOME is in English)

“Even if you say it so natively-“

So it's that. This is Rein's secret base-like place when she came to play in this forest.

Creeping in through the door-less entrance, we entered inside the narrow-looking hut.

I can't enter without crouching. And besides that, it was impossible to stand once inside. It was that low and narrow.

“It's surprisingly clean, huh.”

“Gramps said he'd do it for me……it's cramped.”

Rein got on all fours and moved inside. Since she entered first, I ended up scoring because I could see her b.u.t.t sticking out this way.

The interior was unexpectedly refres.h.i.+ng. Only the weeds on the inside had been cleanly plucked, to the point where one would be able to tell immediately if there was even a single insect inside. As Rein laid the wrapped up vinyl rug, she created a very simple resting place.

“This place is surprisingly comfortable, huh?I don't dislike these sorts of narrow s.p.a.ces.”

“Really? Great!”

I see, Rein's grandfather had kept it clean for her as though to say that she's welcome to come back any time, huh?

If that was the case, then he had cleanly washed and prepared this carpet before Rein had arrived, come here on a daily basis so that the weeds wouldn't be overgrown, all for the sake of his grandchild that may or may not come once a year.

Or rather, once she's gotten to this age, she probably wouldn't even come to her secret base any more.

I really have to respect her gramps's touching efforts.

“Found it!”

With a cheerful face, Rein brought out a reasonably dirty box that had remained there.

Upon opening the box, there were several pieces of tableware that one could obviously tell where good items. It's a wonder that they were inside of this worn-out box.

“This, here.”

“Hm? Ah, here, right?”

A teacup for each of us had been placed in front of Rein and myself. I more or less understood what was happening.

It's Playing House. Even I who had no memories with a childhood friend understood that much.

To think that this cool beauty would be so stuck on playing house. I ended up imagining a very surreal image. And that is something that we would be doing in the future.

“It's playing house, right? What role am I playing?”

“My neighbour!”

“Heeh, so you are the mother, and who's the father?”

“Jeanne!”

There was that big turtle at the place that Rein pointed out. Jeanne's a female name, right?

“Son, daughter, roasted sweet potatoes, sweet bean buns.”

“Yeah, I got it. I've got the general idea.”

Every time Rein spoke, unknown animals would steadily start springing up. I don't hate animal houses, but I'd like to refrain from the wild ones.

Since I was pointed outside, I tentatively left the hut. And then, I once again entered.

“Welcome, let's have tea.”

“Yeah, sorry for the trouble.”

Sitting on top of the sheets, I looked over the interior of the narrow hut. Since I couldn't stand up, I probably won't be able to escape if something happens, huh?

Rein arranged the tea cups and dishes with elegant movements. As expected, this girl was also adorable when she was young, as suitable for her age.

For the time being, the dishes have been lined up, but I wonder if I have to move?

“T-Thank you for the food!”

“There's still nothing there.”

No, I know that, but. That's the part where you play pretend, right?

When I stopped my hands and waited, before long the squirrel-like little creature invaded the insides of this hut.

After getting on top of the plates and curling its body up into a ball, the brown squirrel stopped moving.

“Ok, there you go.”

“Aah, so that's what you meant by sweet bean buns.”

These guys have also been trained.

Rein is a champions who is not just respected by humans, but even amongst animals as well.

For now, I pretended to eat it.

In doing so, Rein gave a big smile, and gazed at my figure.

Well, I know that she likes this sort of thing, but I'm getting bored.

Let's create a new development for this play house.

“……what?”

“Nothing.”

While I was in a stooped position, I crawled to Rein.

Rein drew back her body somewhat, but this place was not wide enough to let her escape.

“Ma'am, you're cute.”

“You're such a flatterer.”

“No, I seriously would like to try and get together once.”

I acted as a slightly adult neighbour as a part of our playing house.

As though to press our relations.h.i.+p further, I placed my hand against Rein's chin and gazed at her face.
