Chapter 03: Pampered Puppy

The sensation of round b.r.e.a.s.t.s pressing against the back of my head. A sweet fragrance tickling my nasal cavities. Long, red hair hanging over my shoulder.

“Hey, s.h.i.+n.o.bu, what’s that?”

Sticking close to me and resting her chin on my head, Machina peered at my hands.

…Earlier she had docilely played with the portable game console on my bed, but in this situation now I couldn’t concentrate at all.

Leaking a sigh in my heart, I hid my agitation and answered her question.

“It’s a report Sougo-san wrote for me.”

“…If I remember right, Sougo-san was Hijiri’s father that was on bad terms with Elni?”

“Yeah, unlike my random gramps and dad, he’s a serious person.”

While feeling the indescribable elasticity of her voluminous b.r.e.a.s.t.s, I continued further, not paying all too much mind to it.

“You remember that Kaorun came over yesterday, played a game with Nazuna, s.e.xual hara.s.sed Luna, took a nap in my bed and then peacefully went home, right? She gave me this report at that time.”

During summer vacation, Sougo-san apparently couldn’t clear his schedule at all and thus couldn’t give me any exorcist training. So instead, he wrote a summarizing report about the exorcists spells and devils, mailing it here from his job.

When I told Machina that, she made an agreeable “Mhm” response while resting her chin on my shoulder this time. And pressing her soft b.r.e.a.s.t.s against my body, she once more looked down on the report.

…I was repeating myself, but I couldn’t concentrate in this situation at all.

“Uhm, Machina-san? As you can see, I’m studying.”

“So what, I’m not really bothering you, so it’s fine.”

Replying with an intimation of sulking, Machina clung to me even stronger.

Could it be she was bored? Or did she just want attention? Either way, it didn’t look like I couldn’t ignore it. I should put my studying on hold and play with her.

When such thoughts crossed my mind, the ring tone of my cell phone suddenly sounded. …Such bad timing, who was it? When I got away from Machina and took the cell phone in my hand, it was a call from my cla.s.smate and friend, the pervert Asada Kouta.

“h.e.l.lo? Here’s the elegant English Gentleman, but which pervert am I speaking with?”

“h.e.l.lo, I’m the fairy-like pervert that lives in the Asada valley in Midoriyama. I called today to hear the voice of my beloved darling. I wuv you, Darling.”

“…Drop dead. I’m busy right now. I’m hanging up if nothing is up.”

“Aww, you’re so cold, Darling. But, that’s what I love about you <>

“That’s what I love about myself as well.”

“…You’re so screwed up that it’s cool.”

Returning to his self and retorting, Asada cleared his throat with a cough, changing his tone into a serious one.

“Hey Nanjou, sorry that it’s so sudden, but I have a favour to ask.”

“A favour? I don’t know Machina’s three sizes, you know? Ask someone else.”

“No problem, I already know them. From top, 92 - 59 - 88, F-cup. It’s saved in the gentleman folder in my brain. If you want, I can tell you the three-sizes of all females at our school, regardless of cla.s.s, year, student or teacher…. What do you say?”

“Nope. If I really want to know them, I’ll ask the person in question myself. That’s how a gentleman rolls.”

It wasn’t like I had no interest, but Machina looked a bit doubtful with “…What are you talking about?”. I should better get back on topic.

“So, Asada, what’s that favour about?”

“Yeah, actually, I want you to look after our pet dog.”

“…I don’t want to look after you.”

“I’m not a dog! Though I do want to become the dog of a pretty miss! But that’s not what I meant!”

Then what did he mean? I had visited the Asada Household a few times to hang out, but I didn’t see them keeping a dog.

I was doubtful, whereupon Asada made a sigh and explained.

“Remember that day where there was that huge storm? At that time, I found an abandoned dog.”

“…And you, picked it up?”

“What else could I have done. It was still a puppy, I couldn’t leave it alone. I wanted to search for someone to take it in, but my mother and sister became rather attached to it, so in the end, we kept it.”

According to Asada, his mother and sister were smitten by the puppy.

However, the Asada family had plans to go on a family vacation during summer vacation and they couldn’t take the puppy with them.

Therefore he wanted that I looked after the puppy while they are on the trip.

Once I heard all the circ.u.mstances, I suddenly asked curious.

“Hey Asada, I get you, but when are you leaving for that trip?”

“To.mor.row<>

“…Sorry but there’s no tomorrow for you. Farewell.”

“Noooo! Wait a sec! Don’t turn me down! Even I know it’s sudden! Actually our neighbours were supposed to look after the puppy, but…”

“But what? They made a run for it?”

“No, idiot! Don’t say something so sinister! They’re all down with a cold!”

Oho, so that was why he called me today.

I comprehended in my heart, whereupon Asada raised the volume of his voice with “Therefore”.

“I only have you, Nanjou! Please! Just for a little while! Look after our dog! I’ll give you my treasure books if you accept! Like the one with the blondie or the blondie or the blondie or some that I don’t need…”

“…Don’t limit my tastes to blondies! And don’t push your unwanted erotic books on me either! Even without these, I’ll look after your dog.”

“Eh? Really? You sure?”

Even though I gave him the okay, Asada leaked a perplexed voice for some reason.

“Ehm, don’t you have to consider things as well? After all it’s really sudden, shouldn’t you ask your folks about it?”

“None of your concern. The great me allowed it. Don’t waste your time on unnecessary worry and just think about flirting with your beloved sister on your trip!”

“…Tsundere sure a nice.”

“Huuh? You said something?”

“No, nothing.”

While saying so, Asada snickered and continued with a soft tone.

“Thanks, really. You’re a great help, Nanjou. I’ll come over tomorrow morning, so until then.”

“Yeah, if you actually live to see a tomorrow that is.”

Getting a bit bashful, I said something suited and hung up.

There Machina tilted her head and came closer.

“s.h.i.+n.o.bu, it seemed like a fun conversation, but who was it?”

“The pervert.”

“Wh- Which one? Kaoru? Or Asada?”

M- Mhm~ That reply was unexpected. Kaorun shouldn’t be grouped together with Asada. I felt a bit sorry for her.

Feeling a bit sympathetic for Kaorun, I answered to Machina’s question.

“The call was from the true pervert. Seems he started keeping a dog recently and we’re going to look after it while he’s on a trip. I’ll tell the others about it when mom comes home… But you don’t mind, Machina? You don’t hate dogs or anything?”

“No. I’m completely fine with them. Anyway, when’s the dog coming? What’s it’s name? What breed? Is it small? Average? Or big? And is it true that dogs get angry when you touch their tails?”

Readily leaning over her body, Machina bombed me with questions.

…If she were a dog, I would totally touch her tail now.

With that impression, I called Asada, so that I could answer her questions. I asked for the gender, breed and name of the dog….

The usual dinner time. Luna, Elni and Nazuna happily chit-chatted. While giving the slightly restless Machina a side-glance, I waited for the right opportunity to call out to my mother.

“Hey Mom, my friend from school asked a favour of me…”

“Eh? What? You had a friend?”

“Surprised, huh?”

I replied to my mother, who had rudely widened her eyes, with a composed smile.

“It might not look like it, but I have friends, like a Pervert, a perverted Maid, a sullen perverted black-haired cool beauty, a F-cup erotic girl or other strange fellows.”

“…I’m quite worried about your social intercourse, but what did that friend ask you of? I don’t want any favours like your dad’s, who brought a suspicious foreigner over with the words ‘Hide him for a while’. It’s too much of a pain…”

“Well, I’m more worried about dad’s social intercourse. This isn’t such a heavy favour. From tomorrow on he just wants me to look after his dog for a while… is that okay?”

“Of course it is.”

Regardless of the suddenness of the topic, my mother smiling gave the okay without hesitation.

Well, in a way, I already predicted this outcome. Surprisingly enough, my mother loved animals. When I picked up a kitten in the past, she also allowed me to keep it without any opposition.

That cat was now away with dad on his business trip, but I wondered if it was doing well.

Divagating into thoughts about our cat, I cheeked upon the reactions of the others.

Upon that, no one seemed to be opposed to it. The girls were all smiling and specially Nazuna had sparkles in her eyes while she raised her hand full of energy.

“Brother, Brother, can I touch the puppy’s nose when it’s here?”

“…If he allows it.”

However, why did she want to touch it’s nose? I tilted my head doubtful, whereupon Elni remembering said “Reminds me”.

“I heard that a dog’s nose is quite wet and when it becomes dry, the dog has a cold.”

“Hee, is that so.”

Giving an agreeable response, I softly touched Elni’s well-shaped nose tip.

“….Mhm, it’s dry. Elni, you have a cold?”

“Ohh, no wonder that your face looks so weird then, s.h.i.+n.o.bu.”

“Now you have said it.”

While replying so, I lightly poked Elni’s nose. There Nazuna frowned lightly and gave a light warning.

“Geez, Brother, that’s rude. Even El-chan will get angry if you treat her like an animal. Right, El-chan?”

“…Eh? Ah, yeah. E- Even I’ll get angry! Bark, Bark!”

Most likely she herself wasn’t bothered at all by it. Elni started to howl at me with a kind of forced expression.

…Kind of cute. Inadvertently forming a smile, I petted Elni’s head and at the same time asked as a joke.

“By the way, Elni, you’re technically handled as the Mad Dog here, but do you think you can get along with the dog?”

“Tomorrow will be--- war!”

“…El-chan is all pumped up for a fight.”

Elni replied to Nazuna, who made a slightly worried expression, with a big nod.

“Mad Dog vs. Puppy, an all-out war. A raid. Survival of the fittest! Graaar!”

For some reason Elni started to threat. Watching over her, I asked wearily.

“…Actually, do you have any chance of winning?”

“None! Not the slightest! I don’t feel like I can win!”

Elni grandly declared the pathetic.

“Such a disgrace for the name of Mad Dog…”

But well, Elni should be fine with the dog. I was also glad that I got my mother’s permission. I made a sigh of relief and called out to Luna as well, just in case.

“Luna, are you fine with it? I remember that you were half in tears when the dog from Satou-san chased you some while ago.”

“I, I was just surprised because it suddenly jumped at me. I am fine now.”

Faintly flus.h.i.+ng her cheeks, Luna threw out her big chest with confidence.

“I get along quite well with Satou-san’s doggy now. I believe Tomoe-san advice about being stern with it helped. Lately, when it sees me, it shows it’s stomach right away.”

…If I remembered correctly, dogs showed their stomach to show obedience or playfulness.

However, that wild dog did it for Luna? It didn’t even do that for it’s owner. Just what did Luna do?

Quite curious, I send my mother a glance.

“….Luna-chan is surprisingly suited as a domina…”

Okay, I was a bit scared, so I better didn’t ask. I closed my mouth and resumed my dinner.

Incidentally, Machina used the computer after dinner to watch pictures of dogs on the internet for a long time with a smile, as she was really excited about the dog’s arrival…

The next day. Like he said on the phone yesterday, Asada came over in the morning.

Reminded me, before the girls came here, Asada had visited to hang out a few times.

Reminiscing over the past, I opened the front door after the chime rang, whereupon my vision fell onto a guy with a handsome face that hugged a puppy to his chest and was shouldering a big luggage over both his shoulders.

It was the guy, who would be popular if he didn’t say anything, Asada Kouta.

For starters, I let Asada into the house and s.h.i.+fted my gaze to the puppy.

If I remembered correctly, it was a female with the name Momo.

A small body, white fur with brown spots and adorable round eyes. Asada had told me over the phone yesterday that she was a crossbreed and apparently she was quite affectionate. When I reached out my hand, the puppy--- Momo wagged her tail and licked my finger.

…What a cutie-pie. I felt my cheeks forming a smile, whereupon Asada placed the luggage onto the floor while opening his mouth.

“Nanjou, this is the dog toilet. Then there is Momo’s food and some snacks. Also, her favourite toys. A manual for a troubled pet owner and…”

Asada continued his listing with a serious expression, but suddenly closed his mouth and hugged onto Momo while trembling a bit. With tears in his eyes he shouted.

“I’m worried after all, so I’m not going on the trip! I’ll live her together with Momo!”

“I’m afraid, we don’t allow Perverts in our house. Hurry up and go on your trip. Otherwise I’ll scatter salt over your stupid face.”

“No! Stop! If you do that, I’ll melt!”

“…Are you a slug or what?”

Retorting wearily, I pushed on Asada’s back.

However, Asada was sick for worry about Momo.

“Nanjou, don’t forget to feed her. Don’t forget to praise her as well when she’s behaving well. Also, when she’s barking sadly, call me. I’ll sing her a lullaby over the phone…”

Displaying a perfect idiotic parent play like that, Asada left with a regretful expression. On the other hand, Momo was watching the front door, in spite of Asada having gone outside already. There I petted Momo’s head lightly, then called out to her softly.

“Asada will be back soon. Come here.”

I beckoned her lightly, whereupon Momo trotted over to me, albeit looking a bit worried.

…Cats were like that as well, but dogs sure showed a lot of expressions. Actually, when you kept a pet, you just end up talking to dogs or cats on reflex.

Such thoughts crossed my mind.

“Oh, a dog!”

A lively voice from above my head.

When I faced it, there was Elni coming down the stairs with sparkles in her eyes. Showing a smile, she approached us and started to gently pet Momo’s head.

“Ohh, her fur is so tufty!”

Saying so, Elni then hugged Momo to her chest and spoke to her with “Woof, woof”. Upon that, Momo gave a small bark in return and Elni nodded understanding to it.

It really looked like they were having a conversation.

That made me smile a bit and I called out to Elni.

“Hey Elni, what did she say?”

“Yeah, she introduces herself to me with ’I’m Momo’. And she asked ’Where did Kouta-chan go?’.”

“I see. Tell her that Kouta went on a trip… wait, hold it. I haven’t told you the dog’s name yet? How did you know it?”

“Mh? I just said that Momo told me it.”

“No, no. Momo told you? …You can understand a dog?”

When I asked certainly surprised, Elni triumphantly puffed up her chest.

“I’m a G.o.ddess after all! Of course I can talk with animals! A dog once shared his food with me when I was hungry in the past!”

“…You sure are going through a lot of troubles, even though you’re a G.o.ddess.”

Still, talking with animals, huh. It didn’t seem like Elni was lying or joking… She unexpectedly might be amazing after all.

When I stared at her face, Elni tilted her head a bit.

“What’s up, s.h.i.+n.o.bu? Something on my face?”

“Yeah, eyes, ears and a mouth.”

“…Technically I got a nose too.”

“Ohh, it was so flat that I overlooked it. Sorry.”

As a matter of fact, Elni’s nose wasn’t really flat. But, for some reason I lightly poked on Elni’s nose teasingly. Instantly,

“Graaar!”

As I made her angry, Elni bit onto my hand.

However, it was just as hard as play-biting and didn’t hurt at all. For now, I apologized to Elni once more and s.h.i.+fted my gaze to Momo. With “That aside”, I changed the topic.

“Where’s Machina?”

Yesterday she looked like she could hardly wait for the dog’s arrival, but I yet had to see her this morning. When I asked a bit curious, Elni showed a wry smile and replied.

“I think she’s still sleeping in her room. She really looked forward to the dog. It seems she had trouble falling asleep last night from the excitement.”

“…She behaves like a kid on the weirdest things.”

Hooked on by Elni, I also gave a wry smile and when you speak of the devil, she shows up. This time Machina came down the stairs.

Machina rubbed her eyes drowsy.

“Morning…”

There she gave us a low-spirited morning greeting. Then she was about to head for the living room, but as soon as she noticed Momo, her sleepiness was blown away and she stopped with sparkles in her eyes.

“O- Oh, it’s already here.”

Happiness was mixed into her short sentence and my heart involuntarily skipped a beat on Machina’s smile. But I hid that fact and called out to Machina while petting Momo’s head.

“She’s quite affectionate. Do you want to touch her as well, Machina?”

“Yes, I would like to pet her head.”

Nodding honestly on a rare occasion, Machina squatted down. Following, she reached out her hand for Momo and started to pet her head, but Momo quickly got away from Machina’s hand.

“Grr.”

Without changing her expression, she bit onto the hand.

“…Oh my? You were so happy that you bit me? Geez, you’re so helpless--- wait, it actually hurts! Why do you bite me!? Stop it!”

When Machina shouted hastily, Momo quickly got away from her and pampered snuggled up to Elni.

“Ehm, Elni, why did Momo bite Machina?”

I was perplexed at this unexpected turn of events, whereupon Elni started to talk with Momo again and then faced Machina with the same perplexed look as me.

“Somehow, she wants you to stop, since it messes up her hairstyle.”

No, but it didn’t bother her when I petted her. I retorted with that in my heart.

“…I see. My way of petting was wrong. I’ll pay attention to that.”

Surprisingly enough, Machina reflected on her action. Reaching out her hand for Momo once more, she petted her much more gentle than before.

However, the result didn’t change at all.

“Grr, Grr.”

Momo bit on Machina’s hand, then faced Elni again while wagging her tail.

While Machina was perfectly petrified, Elni talked to Momo in dog language, then said unfortunate.

“…Momo said she hates Tsundere.”

“Wh- What the!”

As that really offended her, Machina stood up with att.i.tude.

“Fine! I also hate such a selfish dog! Nazuna or Elni are way cuter! Hmpf!”

Facing sideways along with her words, Machina left with swift steps.

Yeah, speaking sharply with teary eyes wasn’t convincing at all. Besides, Machina’s back looked really sad. For some reason, even I got sad.

“…For all that, she was so excited.”

Making a small sigh, I turned my gaze back to Momo.

There Momo approached me while happily wagging her tail, but… she was quite picky, wasn’t she? What if she bit Luna and the others as well?

Getting a bit worried, I took Momo and moved to the living room together with Elni…

In the end, my worry was unwarranted.

For some reason Momo only hated Machina and got along well with Luna and the others. Even know she was happily playing with Luna and Nazuna in the living room.

I joined them and tried to give her the orders “Sit” and “Paw”, whereupon Momo perfectly responded to it without confusion.

Upon that, Luna smiled and petted Momo’s head praising.

“You are so smart, Momo-chan.”

“Yeah, she might be even smarter than Nazuna.”

“Yeah, right.”

“No, no! Object it! I wanted you to object it!”

As Nazuna had affirmed it with a smile, I replied with that right away.

But well, it was certain that Momo was clever. She properly used the toilet where I set it up and she basically listened to everything I said.

“You really are smart.”

There I also praised Momo, whereupon Elni, who was watching us from the sofa, suddenly stood up. And, in opposition to Momo, she jerkily pulled on my sleeve.

“s.h.i.+n.o.bu! I’m also smart! An elite!”

Mhm, while I knew it was rude, I didn’t believe that.

To test it, I threw Elni a question.

“Elni, 2x2=?”

“Flying squirrel! Strong!”

“What an energetic answer. 8x2=?”

“Caution! It hurts when stabbed!”

“Yeah. You’re right. 8x8=?”

“Hiccup! Europe! Check-up!”

“Oh, you made a rhyme. But you know, I’m afraid that isn’t right. There are even chimpanzee in the world that can multiply. Guess you’re stupid after all?”

I dared to say so in a gentle tone, whereupon Elni nodded small.

“I certainly might be stupid. But I have rap, so it’s fine! YO, YO! Not forgetting to rhyme, not forgetting before heading out.”

“…Your rap isn’t really good either.”

As such I talked with Elni while Nazuna held out her palm to Momo with a smile.

“Momo-chan, give me your paw too.”

So she requested, but Momo rested her chin on Nazuna’s palm and wagged her tail, as she wanted to play.

“M, Mhm~ Momo-chan, not your chin, but your paw, you know? C’mon, paw.”

Nazuna softly advised her, but Momo broke her sitting and started to lick Nazuna’s cheek.

Upon that, Nazuna faced us with a smile, as she had given up.

“Momo-chan isn&#39;t feeling well today.”

“…Nazuna, try touching Momo’s nose. It’s wet without doubt. She’s perfectly healthy.”

When I replied so half-wearily, Luna pressed her index finger against her cheek and opened her mouth.

“It might be better to ask for it more sternly.”

While saying so, Luna suddenly changed her tone.

“---Momo-chan, sit!”

Calmly with a smile, yet with an aura that didn’t allow disobeying, Luna ordered Momo.

In that moment, Momo drooped her tail and sit down instantly. At the same time, Nazuna and Elni also sat down formally on the spot. Thoughtlessly I was about to sit down formally as well, but I returned to my senses and stopped.

---Luna-chan is surprisingly suited as a domina…

Suddenly my mother’s words from yesterday floated in the back of my brain and I got the feeling that I somewhat understood them now.

It might be, that our natural erotic big sister has a S side to her. Speaking of, previously when Luna drank alcohol by mistake, she erotically chased everyone in a drunken frenzy.

It was quite likely that she had a S element.

While such thoughts crossed my mind, Luna demanded “Paw” from Momo. Not just Momo, but also Nazuna and Elni held out their hands.

“You are all great.”

She must have thought of it as a joke. Luna petted Momo’s head, then she embraced the slightly trembling Nazuna and Elni with a smile.

There I made a wry smile and felt a sudden glare on my back.

…Who was it? Bothered, I took a peek behind me, there I noticed Machina sneaking a peek on our situation from the gap of the faintly opened living door room.

She was looking at us with great envious and tears had dwelled up in her eyes.

She must have really wanted to play with Momo as well. Machina slowly closed the door with her shoulders dropped dejected. When I closed my eyes and perked my ears, I could hear faint footsteps, so she most likely went back to her room.

…Momo seemed happy with Luna and the others, so I should go play with Machina.

I just couldn’t bear to see her like that. After asking the others to look after Momo, I headed to the room, which Machina and Elni shared.

However, Machina wasn’t there and even when I looked for her throughout the house, I couldn’t find her. She might have gone out.

…I would have tagged along, if she had invited me.

Shrugging my shoulders, I scratched my head lightly and returned to my own room, but… somehow, there was someone on my bed.

I couldn’t tell who it was, since the blanket was pulled all over the head.

However, I had a hunch.

Approaching the bed, I pulled away the blanket, whereupon my vision fell on long and pretty red hair. It was Machina after all. I hadn’t even considered that she could be in my room, so I overlooked it, so it surprised me to find her here.

When I looked down on her, Machina had buried her face in my pillow and showed no particular reaction to the removal of the blanket.

“…What are you doing here?”

For starters, I called out to her.

“Leave me alone.”

Machina replied powerless with her head still buried in the pillow.

Mh, if she really wanted to be left alone, she would have gone to her own room. I quietly sat down on the bed and gently petted Machina’s head. Then while I wordlessly continued to pet her head, Machina suddenly said isolated.

“…Hey s.h.i.+n.o.bu, why am I being hated?”

Raising her head from the pillow, Machina faced me with wet eyes.

“Just what did I do wrong? I didn’t do anything bad, did I? What do you think, s.h.i.+n.o.bu?”

“…Sorry, I don’t really understand dogs.”

Since I had a pet cat, I was somewhat knowledgeable about them. However, I had no clues about dogs. So I couldn’t help Machina.

But, suddenly I remembered and opened my mouth.

“Reminds me, I heard that dogs have a strong sense of smell. Maybe, Momo doesn’t like your scent?”

This had no basis and was just the thought of a complete amateur.

To be honest, I just wanted to try saying it, but Machina seemed to take it seriously. Sniffing her own scent by snorting her nose faintly, she frowned a bit and tilted her head.

“…I can’t really tell myself. s.h.i.+n.o.bu, sniff me for a bit.”

“*sniff, sniff* Oh, it’s the smell of an altruistic Maid.”

“Fufu, that’s correct, Master--- wait, what kind of smell is that! To begin with, you haven’t sniffed me at all! Do it properly, s.h.i.+n.o.bu! C’mon!”

Along with her words, Machina got closer to me and pointed out her voluminous chest.

…Ehm, she told me to sniff her, but what am I supposed to do? Involuntarily moving my gaze on the soft two b.r.e.a.s.t.s in front of my eyes, I shook my head to stop myself.

I would without doubt be a pervert if I sniffed her while burying my face in her b.r.e.a.s.t.s. Actually, just the sniffing itself was already embarra.s.sing and seemed impossible for me.

I felt bad for Machina, but I had to refuse.

“…s.h.i.+n.o.bu, you hate my scent?”

Because I had been reluctant, Machina rocked her eyes in worry.

…Now I couldn’t refuse her anymore.

Left with no other choice, I reached out my hand for Machina’s hair. Following, I picked up her silky red hair with my hand and sniffed it while I felt my cheeks getting hot.

“Yeah, a normal scent, I guess. I like it.”

“Y- Yeah? Uhm, thanks, s.h.i.+n.o.bu…”

Reddening her cheeks, Machina cast down her eyes.

Personally, I thought that would be the end of it, but apparently it wouldn’t go like that. Machina said pleading with upturned eyes.

“Well then s.h.i.+n.o.bu, now try to sniff my body scent.”

Okay, let’s escape. That certainly was impossible. I stood up and turned my back to Machina.

“Eh? s.h.i.+n.o.bu? What’s wrong so suddenly?”

“I smell danger. Therefore, farewell.”

Declaring rashly, I intended to escape right away, but

“Wait a moment, s.h.i.+n.o.bu.”

I was clung to by Machina from behind, so it failed. Machina pressed her elastic two b.r.e.a.s.t.s on my back while tightly clinging to me spoiled.

“Geez, why are you running away? Take this serious, s.h.i.+n.o.bu. How is my scent? Do you like it?”

“…It’s really exciting.”

“Eh? Wh- What are you saying out of the blue? Is, Is it your usual joking?”

No, because of the sweet fragrance, I just happened to carelessly speak out my mind.

But it would be too embarra.s.sing to expose that. To fool her, I played serious and said.

“It’s not a joke, Machina. I’m really excited. To use a simile, I’m right in the middle between composure and zeal right now.”

“G- Geez, s.h.i.+n.o.bu, you’re such a pervert… wait, hold it. Now that I think about it, isn’t that a normal condition?”

“Indeed. Well, it’s a good scent nevertheless.”

Cladding myself in composure, I readily got away from Machina.

There Machina showed a slightly worried face, then returned to her serious expression and started to ponder with her arms crossed.

“Mhm~ If my scent isn’t the problem, what’s the reason then?”
