Chapter 3.3: Aoyama, Hirai, Takenaka III

There again It happened the other day too.

Unconsciously, I looked at the glazed encasement. Nothing but pitch-dark, and nobody was there. I can feel myself being drawn to it. As if someone was watching me

Rather, perhaps it would be more descriptive to say that I was being glared at. Why did I feel a firm gaze?

Whenever I felt it, the corner of my head hurt. No good, what was this? Had I been sleeping a lot, resulting in my body getting sluggish? It had only been a short period of time since my days and nights were reversed, so my body might be giving up without me even realizing it. While I was mumbling about such things, the automatic door opened.

Ah someone was coming. I felt it intuitively.

Just like back then, the door opened by itself, even though there was no human-like person there.

Welcome

This was like being Pavlovs dog. My mouth emitted the usual line that had firmly embedded itself in me out of habit, and I was amazed at myself.

Yet

Strangely enough, even though no one was supposed to have entered the store, I felt a faint presence.

Something was present in the store apart from me, something was moving aside from me, and that something was just in front of me.

It was like it was standing still right before my eyes.

Like it was extremely close to me. Such a presence was

Uh, oah

I stood in front of the counter frozen in place.

My neck was in pain.

Breathing was a struggle.

Suddenly, my respiration

Na ah.

I couldnt breathe properly.

I understood that this was not something that was intended.

I know its not something Im going to do.

But it was agonizing.

It was as if my throat was being compressed to its utmost.

Like it was being constricted.

What the hell What the hell was this

Even after coughing profusely, escaping the agony was beyond my control.

Strange perspiration beaded from my head.

I had no idea why, I couldnt understand, I couldnt breathe, and since I couldnt breathe, my mind couldnt think the only thing I knew was

My body was trembling abnormally, and now it was going to be awfully bad!

Ah, ah!

A woman with bloodshot eyes kept staring this way. Dont look too closely at there, or shell enter the store like she just did. Okay?

Having said that, she stepped into the rear room without waiting for a reply.

As for me, confusion spread further and further within me.

A woman with bloodshot eyes was watching me from over there?

She entered the store?

No good, I couldnt follow it.

However, what I felt earlier was the presence of something moving with a will and chills sprouting in me.

It was more than just something

For real, what the hell is going on

I wiped the sweat that had settled on my forehead and on the bridge of my nose.

Despite my body having ceased trembling, the chills returned as I recalled what had just unfolded.

I mean about Hirai. About Hirai

She was a yankee huh!

Even with a baby face, she had eyes like a female bszoku gang! She showed up late and smoked a cigarette brazenly!

What a terror Somehow, she terrified me.

I felt like I was going to get my ass kicked or something.

The chills were spreading to my neck and then to my ass this time.

Right then, the door of the rear room opened and Hirai reappeared, the baby-faced yankee.

I didnt notice much earlier, buther her breasts were huge!?

Her uniform was sticking out!

What kind of a setup was this with a loli face and big tits, oi!

Ah.

I-I ended up looking directly at them.

Yikes, what would she say to me? As my eyes intersected with Hirais, I straightened up my back and tightened up my face.

Yet.

Hirai, whose eyes locked with mine, was neither indignant nor glaring at me. Instead, she unexpectedly smiled at me.

Sorry for being late. Tehepero

Her tongue stuck out of her mouth, and she lightly hit her own head with her fist.

Huhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?

To tell the truth, this was our first official contact. I only realized this a little later.
