“Why can’t I come with her?” Takina looked at Mika with a determined expression.
“If both you and Chisato went, the Cafe won’t have enough hands and legs to serve for the next two weeks.” Mika only smiled, gently tapping his cane on the ground before patting her head with his large hand. “I’ll be with her, so rest assured, all right?”
“It’s not like I don’t trust you, manager, it’s just…” Takina looked at the ground as Mika laughed.
“I understand. I’ll make sure to remind her to call you or send you a message.” Mika smiled as Takina nodded. “You sure do love her a lot.”
“It’s… I’m just worried…” Takina blushed from the ears as she turned away. “I didn’t mean to make it like you can’t protect her, just…”
“That’s fine. Thank you, Takina.” Mika gave her another head pat as Takina could only nod.
Although they have been in Hawaii for two months now, if there was an available mission to do that was near Hawaii, on the condition the DA keep their travel a secret, they still accepted some duties every now and then.
This time, the client asked for Chisato, and while it was near Hawaii, it was going to be a two-week mission. Normally, Mika would send both Chisato and Takina, but with the condition of his leg, it might be better if he went with Chisato instead. Given that Mika and Chisato wouldn’t be around for the next two weeks, they wouldn’t be able to be mobile, so they’ve decided to bring in some foldable tables and chairs around their area to cater to more customers who would like to dine-in.
“It sure is quiet when that one isn’t around…” Mizuki sighed as she leaned her elbow on the open window of the truck.
“That’s true… It does kind of feel a little lonely too.” Takina spoke as she stood just outside Mizuki’s door. She turned to look at Mizuki who just gave her knowing grin. “I- It’s not like that…”
“There’s no need to feel shy. You both are adults now too.” Mizuki smiled. “Well, still young ones compared to me, though.”
“I suppose so.” Takina smiled and looked forward once again as they waited for customers.
It has been a week since the DA mission started. True to Mika and Chisato’s words, if she could call, she would always call Takina at night, if not, she would at least always respond to her messages.
Two women approached the Cafe LycoReco truck as they waved at Takina, and Kurumi who was behind the counter.
[Hello. Thank you for coming today too.] Takina greeted them in English.
[Your coffee is so great! I told her I’d love to come everyday.] The blonde one wrapped her arms around the shorter dark haired one. [We should buy beans and get a siphon!]
[You just think of new ways to spend money.] The dark haired one responded with a sigh. [We’d like some–]
[Two Blend Coffee, and one ohagi set. Right?] Takina cut her off, the two ladies smiled at her and gave her a thumbs up. [Please take a seat anywhere you like. I’ll make your orders soon.]
“Oh. They’re here again?” Kurumi watched Takina get up to the truck and head straight towards the kitchen.
“Yes. They said they might stop by most of the days we’re here.” Takina smiled at her.
“Missing Chisato?” Kurumi gave her a knowing grin as she pressed the brew button for the coffee machine.
“Mizuki just sort of asked me the same thing.” Takina prepared the ohagi set as they waited for the coffee machine. “I was able to wait a while until we found her, two weeks isn’t anything major.”
“You say that, but I can see it’s getting to you.”
“Well, it is… Living in that house alone for a while, I suppose it does get a little lonely.” Takina focused on her task, looking longingly at the orange bracelet on her hand.
“Hang in there. Only a week more.” Kurumi smiled at her as Takina nodded.
[Here are your orders. Enjoy!] Takina set down the two blend coffee and ohagi set on their table.
[Ugh. I’m sorry, Juliette.] The black haired woman turned to the blonde, named Juliette, who only shrugged and smiled at her. She looked at her phone unbelievable before turning to Takina. [Can I get this coffee to-go?]
[Of course. Please wait a moment.] Takina smiled and took the cup of coffee and took it back to the truck. With precise speed and dexterity, she was briefly back once again with the cup of coffee now in a paper cup with a lid. [Enjoy!]
[Thank you. I’ll make it up later, okay?] The black haired woman took the cup, hurriedly stood from her chair and gave the blonde woman a peck on the lips. [Text me if you want me to buy anything.]
Takina, surprised of the exchange that just happened before her found herself immediately looking away from them.
[Bye, love you.] Juliette waved at her before turning her gaze to a shy looking Takina, ears red. [Oh, did that surprise you? I’m sorry.]
[No. I just thought that, maybe I was interrupting your moment.] Takina turned to her shyly. [I didn’t know you were a couple.]
[We are. You and Chisato are too, right?] Juliette smiled at her as she took a sip from her coffee.
Takina was taken aback, given that no one aside for the rest of the cafe members, would know. [I suppose there is no reason for me to deny.]
[Now, now. No need to be shy. It’s quite obvious. Ah, don’t worry, Chisato did not tell me.] Juliette gave her a wink, knowing their dynamics so well. [Speaking of Chisato.]
[Yes?] Takina blinked.
[I was talking to Chisato about lending her this book.] Juliette took out a novel from her bag and put it on the table. [Do you like reading? If you’d like I can lend it to you first, then you could give it to her. She’s somewhere else doing a different job, right?]
[Yes… Then, if you don’t mind.] Takina took the book in her hands as she looked at the cover. It seemed ambiguous enough. [What is it about?]
[It’s about a woman, and her lover who is a soldier. It’s the story of their love even through the distance.] Juliette leaned an elbow on the table. [It’s a romance novel. I hope it’d be to your liking.]
[I see, thank you. I have not read a romance novel before, but if Chisato is interested in it…] Takina looked at the book, as Juliette smiled at her.
“Takina! We’ve got another customer over here!” Mizuki shouted over.
“Ah, okay!” Takina smiled at Juliette and took the book. [Thank you. I’ll let Chisato know about it.]
Juliette only waved at her with a smile. [Got yourself a real cute one here, Chisato.]
~*
Oddly enough, Takina found herself engrossed in the book. It was well written, and the pacing was so good you could just find yourself turning page per page. She had never read a novel like it, not to mention it was also in a language that she hadn’t used often until they went to Hawaii.
Takina laid stomach down on the bed she usually shared with Chisato, the book open in her hands as she read the next scene in the story. So far, the main character, the lady of the castle, worked her best to cater to her husband’s people and the castle. It has been four weeks, since her husband went to capture a nearby village.
“My lady! A letter has arrived from the lord.” One of the castle maids rushed over to the garden where the lady of the castle often stayed.
“A letter? Thank you.” The lady met the maid half way as she giddily received the letter. “I’ll return back to my quarters. Please tell them not to disturb me.”
The maid returned her smile as she bowed and sent her off.
According to the letter, the capturing had taken more time than intended. Although the villagers were cooperative while their ruler was dethroned, there were plenty of things that needed fixing and help, in order to regulate a much healthier livelihood.
“I see… I’m glad he’s staying here because he’s helping them, and not because his live is in danger.” She sighed in relief. She checked the envelope as a necklace dropped to her lap.
It was a memento, given to him by the villagers. In the letter, he mentioned that it’s so that she could remember him, while he was still away.
“I miss you…” The lady kissed the letter as she held the envelope tightly. She tenderly looked at the bed, gazing longingly at the space that her husband often occupied when he was at home. She settled the letter and the necklace onto the bed side table. Crawling towards her husband’s bed side, she buried her face onto it as she inhaled what little was left of his innate scent. “I love you…”
Her hand’s reached for the zipper of her long dress as she let it drop down to her lap. She reached her own hands to her chest gently, running them up and down as she breathed out. “I’m glad that you’re doing what you can for the people there… but what about me…?”
Takina could feel the heat from her chest rising up to her ears as she continued the reading. “Is this character suddenly just…?” She swallowed as she continued reading line by line. Internalizing what the lady of the castle was doing to herself to quench the thirst she has for her husband who was yet to return. She turned the book page by page… until her phone next to her started ringing. “Hyaah?!”
She immediately reached for her phone that said “Chisato” and answered immediately. “H- Hello?”
“Takinaaaaaa. Hm? Is something wrong?” Chisato’s voice rang inside her ears. One that she hasn’t heard in a while, since she’s been busy and could only send messages. “I messaged that I was going to call, but you also weren’t reading it so I called anyway. Sorry, did I disturb you?”
“N- Nothing’s wrong and I wasn’t doing anything.” Takina answered nervously as she ran her eyes through the book, checking the page number, before closing it.
“Are you sure? Your voice sounded a bit shaky.”
“Yes, I’m sure. You’re just imagining it. How are you?” Takina took the book and settled it on the bed side table. She got up from her position and laid her head down onto the pillows as she listened to Chisato’s cheerful voice.
“I found a really really cute something here! I’ll show you once I get back soon!”
“I’m glad you’re at least still having fun. Are you not injured? Is everything okay?” Takina looked at her hands, not knowing what to do with them as they spoke.
“Thankfully, there were no guns fired here. Don’t worry.” Then there was a short silence. “Hey, Takina.”
“Yes?”
“I miss you.”
Takina smiled as that sweet and earnest voice she longed for spoke in her ears. “I miss you too.”
“Hehe. I’ll be back soon. Take care, okay?”
“You too.” Takina closed her eyes.
“I love you.”
“I love you, too, Chisato.”
“Good night, Takina.”
“Good night.” Takina stared at her phone first before pressing the end call button, otherwise, Chisato never would have pushed it on her own. “…Soon, huh?”
She settled her phone onto the bed side table, eyeing the book. She felt her body heat up as the idea of Chisato touching her in places she hasn’t explored in a while plagued her mind. “…Go away, bad thoughts.”
Takina rolled to her side, eyeing the empty space on the bed next to her. She gently stretched a hand forward as she touched the side of the bed Chisato usually was at.
“Chisato…” She breathed out that name she hasn’t called in a while, slowly bringing in the pillow Chisato usually used to her self, hugging it tightly. “Chisato… You… Idiot…” She buried her face into the pillow as she felt her body heat up, that spot in between her legs responding to Chisato’s faint scent.
Takina closed her eyes as she weighed her options. Was it really worth it to try and… do it? On the other hand, she would lose nothing if Chisato would have never known about it.
Leaving the pillow on her face, she closed her eyes as she slipped her own hands up her stomach, gently stroking up until her bra clad chest. She swiftly pushed her bra upwards as she directly touched her own mounds, imitating the way Chisato would touch them if she were there.
Starting from the peak, rubbing her sensitive nips, before trailing her hands slowly downwards to her valleys, to her stomach… Takina opened her eyes as she let out the breath she hadn’t know she was holding. She panted after she realized that she was still alone in her bed, loneliness hitting her stronger than it had been.
“You’ve been doing okay away from her for a few months before you’ve found her… How is this different?” Takina closed her eyes again as she felt a cold shiver on her back, but her body was on fire. It was different. Reuniting with Chisato, sharing the same bed with her every day, waking up in those strong and protective arms… Everything was different. “Chisato… You idiot…”
Takina closed her eyes again as she hugged Chisato’s pillow closer to her face, letting her other hand trail down her stomach, and inside her shorts. Hesitating at the hem of her own underwear a little, before lifting it up, sliding in two fingers down her core.
“Hah… Ah…” Takina panted almost in surprise to find herself extremely wet. This was one of those moments she never thought she would ever do… nor yearn for. Maybe it was the book’s influence… If any, then she will blame the book instead. And Chisato… for leaving her alone. “Chisato…”
She struggled to reach further as she rubbed her fingers up and down her sensitive core, making her body shiver on each touch. Is it because it’s been a while? Or it’s because she’s doing it herself? Was it always this difficult to feel good?
Takina opened her eyes as involuntary tears welled up her eyes. “Chisato… Mm…”
~*
Chisato silently walked the path to her house in a tiptoe. It was the first step to plan: surprise, Takina, I’m back a few days early! She found it odd that the lights to the doorway was turned off. It was either Takina wasn’t at home yet, or she was already preparing to sleep.
She looked at her wristwatch and noticed that it was already nine in the evening. “Guess she’s already in the bedroom.”
Chisato made sure to unlock the front door as silent as she could, so Takina wouldn’t have to wake up. She could just wake up and see her there… Her surprised face would be so adorable.
She settled her stuff on the living room, and swiftly managed around the house, after taking off her shoes. She tiptoed up the stairs to their room, and oddly found the door to their room ajar.
“…Ah…”
Chisato blinked as she heard the small and mellow voice. Was she talking to someone? Watching something? She tiptoed all the way near to the door, and what presented before her captivated her.
“Mm… Hah… Chisato…” Takina laid down on the center of their bed, her shorts halfway down her thighs, as she frantically touched her core, as if trying to reach for that orgasm, before promptly removing her hand as she panted. She stared at her own fingers, unsatisfied as she closed her eyes. “…Such a stupid thing–“
“…You seem to be having a lot of fun without me.” Chisato only stared at her with serious eyes as she opened the door, went inside, then locked it behind her. “Takina-san?” Then a knowing mischievous smile.
“Ch- Chisato!?” Takina felt the panic as she immediately pulled onto the blankets, throwing a pillow towards Chisato’s face before burying herself inside the it in the fetal position, her legs tucked under her, both hands pulling at the blankets over her back, like a turtle. “Go away! Idiot! Pervert!”
Chisato swiftly dodged the pillow as she looked at it in surprise. “P- Pervert?! Isn’t the one who was touching their self the–“
“AAAAHHH! I’m not hearing anything! Leave!” Takina briefly emerged from her turtle stance and threw another pillow. “Go away! Stupid Chisato! Idiot! Why are you here?!!!”
Chisato dodged the pillow then walked towards it and the other, picking them up before taking long strides until she was by the bed side. “I was planning on surprising you that I got back early, but to think that I’ll be the one getting surprised…” She settled the pillows back onto the bed.
“I’ll be inside these blankets until the very last day of my life. Good bye.” Takina said coldly as she continued hiding inside.
“Please don’t say that… Takina, please come out?” Chisato sat on the bed as she placed an arm over the Takina burrito. “Please?”
“No. This is embarrassing.” Takina held onto the edges of the blanket tighter.
“Please? I haven’t seen you in a week and a half… Don’t you want to see me too?” Chisato got on the bed, wrapping both her arms around which she assumed was Takina’s back. “Takina, please?”
“…No.” Takina answered firmly.
However, right after it, Chisato’s eyes caught the blankets lifting a little, as a cute left hand slipped out. “Mm… So cute…” Chisato reached for that hand, holding it in her own gently. “Thank you.”
“Please forget what you saw.” Takina held onto Chisato’s hand tightly. “…If you do, then I’ll come out.”
“Unfortunately, I can’t do that. My own lover… calling out my name-ow-ow-ow- please don’t crush my hand.” Chisato winced and was thankful the bear grip on her hand was lessened. “But… I want to… continue. I want to touch you too… After seeing you like that, there was no way I wouldn’t now. Please?”
There was no verbal response, but Chisato knew that Takina was considering it as her hold onto her hand had loosened a little.
“If… you… promise to do it properly…” Takina tugged at Chisato’s hand.
“Of course. I mean… You haven’t come yet… right?” Chisato squeezed Takina’s hand, her voice a few pitches lower… The one she always used when they made love. “I want to embrace you… Touch you…”
“Okay…” Takina’s voice was weak, but Chisato knew she wasn’t angry. “…But if you’re going to tease me, then you can forget about it…”
Chisato slowly uncovered the blanket as she finally saw Takina’s head appear from under the blankets. “No teasing.” She promised her with a smile as she gave the top of her head a light kiss. Takina turned to face Chisato feeling her body being gently turned to lie back down onto the bed. Chisato lightly tugging her left hand around her head, and settling it down around her shoulders as she kissed her.
Chisato licked Takina’s lips urging her to open it. Takina wrapped both her arms around Chisato’s shoulders as they kissed. Each other’s tongues exploring each other’s mouths, almost desperately, hungry. Takina closed her eyes as Chisato lifted her body up to position her in the middle of their bed, with those two hands swiftly tugging down her shorts and underwear out of her legs.
“Hah… Chisato… Remove yours… too…” Takina breathed onto Chisato’s mouth as she tugged at the loose shirt she was wearing.
Chisato complied as she removed her shirt and bra, threw it somewhere, followed by the jeans shorts and the underwear she was wearing. She also helped Takina out of her own shirt, unclasping that bra on the way without even paying attention to it as it flew somewhere. It landed near Chisato’s clothes, making her turn to look at it in curiosity.
“Those are nostalgic. The ones we bought from back the-mmph…” Chisato smiled before feeling her face being forcefully turned towards Takina, as she was kissed. An incredibly aggressive Takina is new to me… “Takina…”
Chisato trailed her hand from Takina’s stomach, slowly reaching down that wanting core, already wet and ready for her.
Takina wrapped her arms around Chisato’s shoulders as she felt that long finger enter inside her. She arched her back as she pushed her hips onto that hand. “Chisatoooooo… Hah… You’re here…”
“I am… Chisato-san is here~” Chisato kissed her again as she moved her finger inside her, exploring, touching, searching for that one spot. “I love you…” She whispered onto Takina’s mouth as she added another finger, rubbing onto that sensitive spot continously.
“Hah… Ah…! Chisato, Chisato…!” Takina tightly hugged Chisato’s shoulders, fight curling as she clamped down onto those fingers as she came. Her hips shivered as her toes curled, pressing her whole body onto Chisato’s lifting her back from the bed. “Ahmmm~~~~” Chisato kissed her swallowing her moans as she relentlessly continued to rub that sensitive spot inside her.
“Takina…” Chisato whispered onto her mouth as she removed her now drenched fingers from inside her, gently laying her back down the bed. “You’re so beautiful, I love you.”
Takina panted, her sweat making her hair stick onto her forehead as she watched Chisato lick her juices off those fingers. “Stop… That…” Takina tried to reach for her to stop as she caught her breathe, but Chisato only held onto her right hand’s wrist.
“It was this, right? The one that you were just using… as a replacement for me.” Chisato kissed Takina’s palm before inserting Takina’s middle finger inside her mouth, sucking, and licking on it as she kept her red eyes glued on those hazy amethyst ones that could only watch. She cleaned each finger thoroughly, before she trailed kisses to her wrist, her arm, her forearm, then to her shoulders. “To think I’d be jealous of these petite hands for trying to do my job…”
“You’re wrong…” Takina rested her hand onto Chisato’s hair as Chisato trailed kisses around her collar bone, down to her chest. “Because… I couldn’t reach… I couldn’t… do it…” She admitted as her breathe hitched in her throat upon feeling that hot lips over one of her nips as Chisato’s hand rubbed her other sensitive mound.
“Is that so…?” Chisato looked up from Takina’s chest as Takina only stared at her before nodding. “Why do you think so…?”
“It’s all your fault… for being away… And… I would always… want you…” Takina closed her eyes as she played with Chisato’s hair, as she felt Chisato’s kisses move downwards to her stomach. “…So take some… responsibility… Nishikigi… Chisato…”
“Even her tired but commanding voice is sexy… This is dangerous…” Chisato smiled as she trailed kisses onto Takina’s waist, downward further as she reached her core. “Mm… I will.”
“…If you don’t, I’ll be… angry…” Takina felt her knees being raised as Chisato left trails of kisses on inner thighs before giving her whole length a lick from bottom to top. “Mm… Ah! Chisato…” Takina closed her eyes as she reached for Chisato’s hand that was resting on her stomach.
“Looks like she’s close again…” Chisato continued to lick and flick her tongue at that sensitive nub before inserting her middle finger inside Takina once again. She felt that clamping on her finger tightly as she inserted another, continuing to gently suck and lick that sensitive nub.
“Chisato… Chisato…! Mm…!” Takina closed her legs around Chisato’s shoulders as she rode her next orgasm, followed immediately by another as Chisato rubbed that sensitive spot inside her. “Ah!? Chisato…! Wait! Mmmngah!”
Chisato smiled as she felt those legs on her back tightening as she felt those love juices overflow through her fingers. She decided to let that sensitive nub go for now as she licked around Takina’s entrance, cleaning up each juice as they flowed out after pulling out her fingers.
“Wait…” Takina tugged at Chisato’s hand that she was holding as she unclasped her legs around Chisato’s body. She blushed harder than she already was as Chisato climbed up to her body, with her face and nose wet with her own juices.
“Thanks for the food–ow, don’t hit me.” Chisato gave her a wink but immediately found a hand smacking her around the shoulders. “Please don’t be angry, Takina-sama…”
Takina wiped Chisato’s face with her hands before turning away. “I’m not angry…”
Chisato only blinked as she watched Takina’s face.
“I’ve missed you…” Takina covered her face with her arm as she tenderly gazed at Chisato.
Chisato only gave her a cute puppy smile before engulfing her into a tight hug, rubbing her face on Takina’s neck left and right. “Mmmmmmmm! I missed you too!”
“Ah, geez! Chisato! That tickles!” They both laughed as Chisato continued the face rub before plopping down onto Takina’s side.
Chisato slipped her right arm under Takina’s body as she pulled onto her, spooning her to her own body. She then reached for the covers with her left hand, covering both of them in warmth.
“To think that Inoue Takina-san is interested in masturb–” Chisato smiled as Takina covered her mouth with her hand, and a glare.
“I wasn’t. I was… just…” Takina blushed as Chisato only looked at her with an evil smile. “It was the book’s fault.” She pressed her back onto Chisato’s front as Chisato wrapped a hand around her stomach. “And your fault.”
“I understand that it was partially my fault but… the book’s fault?” Chisato turned to the bed side table next to her and found a book. “This one?”
“Yes. Juliette said she was going to lend it to you… To think that it would have such a scene. I didn’t know you were into erotic romance.” Takina turned to face Chisato with a glare.
“Wait, wait, wait. I did tell Juliette that I liked to read books and that I agreed to borrow one, but I didn’t know it was an erotica!” Chisato defended herself as she kissed the knots out of those angry eyebrows. “You know I would never lie to you, right?”
“That’s… Well… That’s true…” Takina pressed her forehead onto Chisato’s jaw. “Haaah…” She sighed as she closed her eyes. “You’re here now so it doesn’t matter, I suppose…”
“You should let me watch next time–arrghhgbwah.” Chisato blinked as she suddenly found herself on the floor. “Takina-san!?” She half climbed the bed and found a naked Takina already up on her feet and on the way to the showers.
“If you’re going to give useless suggestions such as that, I will go take a shower instead.” Takina stopped by the shower door way, then turned to a bewildered Chisato.
Chisato only blinked as she stared at Takina who only stared back at her without saying anything. She tilted her head to one side as if questioning Takina, silently.
Takina suddenly giggled then entered the bathroom without closing the door.
“Ahhhh! You were seducing me, weren’t you?! That was the cutest seduction of my life! Takinaaaa! Taaaaaakinaaaa!” Chisato immediately got up from the floor and chased after her into the bath. “Yooouuuuu…..!!!”
“Kyaa! Chisato! It’s dangerous! Don’t just suddenly lift me up! What if you slipped?!”
“I miss you aaaaand looooove you~!”
“You can tell me that without doing something so dangerous!”
“I wanted to~ You are so cute~ and pretty! And sexy?”
“Hahaha~ Chisatooo~ Stop!”
“Nooooo waaaaay~~~”
~*
[Ah! Juliette~!] Chisato raised her hand as she greeted Juliette who seemed to have come alone today. [Is Mary not with you today?]
[Just me today. Welcome back.] Juliette waved back at her as they chatted.
[…About the book you lent Takina. I think I’m returning it to you now.] Chisato took out the book and gave it to Juliette who eyed her suspiciously.
[Are you not going to read it?] Juliette took the book into her hand.
Chisato turned to look at Takina who was watching them, then hmph’d at her before walking away. [I suddenly felt like I shouldn’t.] She laughed wryly as she scratched her head.
[What a cute girlfriend you have.] Juliette laughed. [I’m sorry, it seems that my little prank got a little too overboard.]
[Well… I got to see some cute Takina so I don’t entirely feel bad about it–] Chisato suddenly felt the collar of her shirt being grabbed from the back of her neck. [Um… Byeeeeeee…]
Juliette laughed as Takina dragged Chisato away towards the truck. [Good luck, Chisato.]
Chisato gave her a fist pump before disappearing into the back of the truck.
“Is it okay? For you not to read that book.” Takina asked as Chisato looked at her.
“Oh, you’re not here to scold me?” Chisato blinked as Takina only stared at her. “Okay, please don’t scold me. Anyway, I just felt like, I shouldn’t.”
“Why so?” Takina stared at her, puzzled.
“Hm~ I don’t think I need to read erotica, if I have you right? Gwaghgh. Violence!” Chisato held her stomach as Takina suddenly just gave her the elbow. “No violence, Takina-sama!”
“I’m not saying you’re wrong, though.” Takina smiled at her playfully before escaping to the front of the truck.
Chisato smiled as she chased after Takina. “Taaaakinaaa~ You really are full of surprises. I feel like I don’t know you enough!”
“Is that so?”
“Yeah~! Like last night–“
“We promised not to talk about that, right?”
“What’s with last night? Oh, Chisato. Welcome back.” Mizuki asked as they passed by the front of the truck.
“You know last night, Takina–“
Takina only stared at her with judgement.
“Ah, I won’t tell after all.”
“Thought so. You’re so whipped.”
“I’m not whipped!”
“Sure, sure.”
“I’m not whipped!!!”
Takina turned to Kurumi the walking menu, in confusion. “What’s being whipped?”
“Uh…”
(Thoughts of You/END)
Omake
Chisato and Takina stood in front of the mobile truck as they waited for more customers.
“Chisato.”
“Hm?” Chisato turned to her with a smile.
“You mentioned that you had something to give to me? Last night.”
“Oh, now we’re talking about last night–” Chisato grinned at her as her smile was met with a flat judging expression. “Yes ma’am. While we finished the mission peacefully without any gun actions; unfortunately. Anyway, I saw these in one of the stalls.”
Chisato took out a small paper bag from her pocket. She opened it and took out a pair of penguin shaped silver earrings.
“They’re clip on, and I thought you might like them because you liked penguins, right?” Chisato smiled as she showed it to Takina. “I thought they’d be cute on you.”
“Thank you.” She received the paper bag and the earrings in her hands. “Then… I’ll wear them the next time we go to an aquarium.”
“I look forward to it! Maybe the penguins could even say hi to your earrings like~” Chisato suddenly stood up on her feet, both arms on her sides, hands bent outwards like a penguin. “Hey, look, it’s me~” She penguin-walked to Takina with a weird small voice.
“Hahaha~ What’s with that? I don’t think penguins sounded like that.”
“That’s what a Chisa-penguin would sound like~”
“Ahahaha~”
“Hehe~”
