Episode 6: Eccentric Beautiful Woman
Eh, who is this childā¦ā¦
I checked with Saki, but she seemed as confused as I was with suddenly being called out to by this mysterious girl. Underneath the bright afternoon sun her light brown hair was the same color as honey, and combined with how short it was, she gave off a lively impression.
She smelled of fresh citrus, but she leapt and soared over the image of a girl who would wear perfume with her exuberant aura. She looks like a bright and active girl who moved past being innocent and into the realm of just being a ditz.
She wasnāt too small, but she had a slender body with almost no waist. Her face was small as well, but it was cute enough that she could easily be a reader model. If I were to compare her to an animal, a chihuahua would be the only thing I could think about.
Considering this is our first time meeting each other, she would come off as insaneā¦ā¦.not that I would think that! I will readily welcome an eccentric beautiful girl! Weāll frolic and play on our way to school togetherā¦ā¦..and become friends and comrades!
is what I was thinking, however she had jumped in so unexpectedly it was like we were playing linguistic dodgeballāāand when I finally got around to thinking about how best to return the ball,Ā
āOoh, no speak Japanese?ā¹
āSorry, we heard you.ā
First rap, now sheās acting like a foreigner? A really strange beautiful girl. I love this kind of eccentric girl.
āAh, self-introductions come first! My! Name!
The girl made a big show of pulling out a marker pen from her pocket. ā¦ā¦..and then she suddenly started scribbling something on both her handsā¦ā¦.
āIf I remember right, you were the health committee representative Hino right?ā
āYouāre right, but! Donāt disassemble a joke in progress! Give me one minute!ā
Hinoās over the top energy was leaving us in the dust. After finally saying, āDone,ā she turned her palms towards us.
āKahonoā¦ā¦?ā
āNon, non! Me is Hino Honoka! Burning Fire Honoka! Why would you reverseā¦ā¦ā¦Ah!ā
She realized. Because she had written each character into the palms of her hands, the letters became reversed after she turned her hands towards us. She started fixing the characters on her hand to correct her mistake, but it looks like my guess that she is a ditzy girl isnāt too far off the mark. Yeah, sheās cute.
Eventually giving up on correcting it herself, she instead crossed her arms to have the letters in the correct orderā¦ā¦Hmm? She looks like the dictionary definition of a super ditzy girl like that, and it is so cute.
āPardon me! I am Honoka!ā
She struck a two finger v-pose over her right eye alongside her introduction and shot of a wink with a level of momentum that I could easily imagine a star shooting out of her eye. There are a few screws loose thereā¦ā¦but letās not mind that for nowā¦..
Even a wholesale store cuts up fish sometimes. Thus it only makes sense that I, a profound lover of beautiful girls, can forgive the little things! And for her to come to me herselfā¦ā¦isnāt this just like a bug flying right to the fire!?
āHonoka then? Itās a good name. Iām Fujisaki Yuriha, and it is nice to meet you. This here is Hanazono Saki.ā
Calming myself down, I offer a normal greeting. If I say what Iām really thinking aloud theyāll think Iām a weirdoā¦ā¦and weirdos arenāt allowed within ten meters of beautiful girls.
Having remained silent until now, Saki emerged from my shadow sometime during my greeting without me realizing. She placed both her hands on my right shoulder and peeked her cute head out from behind mine. Oh, she smells nice too.
āI-Itās nice to meet you~ Hono-chanā
An immediate nickname. But by the way Princess, are you fine with your face being so close to mine?
āGot it, Yuu and Sakki right? Nice to meet ya!ā
And not minding it at all, Honoka shoots back with her own nicknames for us. Her social skills are high at least.
āYuu and Sakki are both prim and incredibly pretty though? Are you both nobles?ā
āNo no, thereās no way thatās the case. Rather, weāre both students just transferring in this year.ā
Although for her to call me prettyā¦ā¦.Iām really glad I spent all that time studying up on my appearance before enrolling here.
āL-Like a princess you say~?ā
āSaki?ā
Thatās not quite what she said though?Ā
Although Honoka belted out a loud, āHoh!ā like she only just noticed.
āYeah, like that! Saki is a princess!ā
āUhehehe~ Iām a princess~ā
Par for the course, Princess Saki became completely wrapped up in herself. She brought her hands up to her cheeks and began wriggling right there on the spot while giggling to herself. I would like her to stop that though because it is uselessly cute. I might end up with astigmatism from how much Iām staringāāoh no, this is bad. Iām going to get drunkā¦ā¦.off Sakiās cuteness!
āYouāre both kind of interesting. Youāre as energetic as me. Or maybe even a little more?ā
Honoka grabbed both our hands and began to shake.
āOur friendship will be eternal!ā
āEh, thatās too rash!ā
āToo rash~?ā
āHastyā
āHasty~?ā
In response to both of my comebacks Honoka opened her mouth wide and drew out the ends of the words while playing the fool. Whatās with this girlā¦ā¦.sheās too cuteā¦..
āWe get along well anyway, so there it isnāt a big deal! Itās an eight or nine cases out of ten thing?ā
āā¦ā¦are you trying to use the saying, āitās six of one and half a dozen of the otherā?ā
āYeah, thatās what I meant! Nothingās going to change even if you double it!ā
āI think you are gravely misunderstanding what that saying is supposed to mean.ā
Iām shocked over the massive language mistakes being made, but Iām also happy because itās cute.
However I canāt spend all my time immersed in moe, so I forcibly cut through the fun energy and brought us back to what we were talking about before.
āSo did you want to study with us for the time being?ā
When I asked though, Honokaās eyes shot open.
āEhh!? What what~!? You use ābokuā when referring to yourself!? This is my first time seeing something so terrifyingly amazing! Are you actually a crossdressing boy!?ā
What an intense responseā¦ā¦she was enrolled in this schoolās associated junior high right? Were there no girls who ever used ābokuā or āoreā here? Have such women been driven out and otherwise exterminated? Could I be part of an endangered species? I have rarity value. Viva la individuality!
āI am not a boy, but people do often make that mistake.ā
It would be one thing if I were actually dressed as a man, but Iām dressed in womenās clothing and enrolled in a womenās only schoolā¦ā¦.I am not a man!
āWell thereās no way I could know with you hiding your boobs.ā
Honoka cracked an extra large smile while her hands playfully brought up her handsā¦ā¦
āAh, you idiot! What are you doing!?ā
āHmm, they donāt feel like fake breasts. I hereby dub you a certified girl!ā
āKnockā¦ā¦it off!ā
Honoka had shoved her hands underneath my blazer and began feeling up my chest. I quickly grabbed her wrists and shook her off.
āEek~! Sheās got both my hands! Sheās a groper!ā
āWho!? Hey, which one of us is the groper here!?ā
A false accusation against my legitimate self-defense! Terrible! A trumped up charge from a groper!
āFine, then as payback, maybe I should rub yours until Iām satisfiedā¦ā¦.?ā
After she managed to break her arms out of my grip, her grin widened even more, and she took a step forward.Ā
āI donāt mind? Bring it on!ā
Honoka stuck out her chest without hesitation. However no matter what I did, I couldnāt feel any kind of swelling or particle of dust from over her blazerā¦ā¦.
āSomehowā¦ā¦.sorryā¦ā¦.ā
āD-ā¦ā¦Donāt apologize! Now I look pathetic!ā
āButā¦ā¦I forced you to puff out your chest, and it stillā¦ā¦sorryā
āKuā¦ā¦even though Iām the one who got to rub boobs, I still feel like Iāve lostā¦ā¦ā
Honokaās hands and knees fell to the floor depressed. Meanwhile our princess had begun staring at her fingertips enviously.
āW-Whatās wrong? Sakiā¦ā¦.ā
āDid you want to rub Yuriās boobs too~?ā
āOf course not!ā
Uwaa, her sexual harassment is contagious like a germā¦ā¦troubling.
Anyhow. I took a deep breath and straightened out my clothes.Ā
āWhatās going through your mind sexually harassing someone during your first time meetingā¦ā¦ā
āBut you didnāt hate it right?ā
āItās not like I normally like it.ā
āI was just thinking, āThis girl looks cool~'ā
āNow you want to butter me up?ā
āLetās you and I head out of here!ā
āSo youāre a pick-up artist?ā
āGehehe, big sis, what color are you pantiesāāā
āAnd now youāre back to being a molester!ā
Haa~. I couldnāt hold back a tired sigh anymoreāāand then as if she had timed it, Honoka let out her own satisfied sigh at the same time.
āAha~, I feel great.ā
āIām feeling blue over hereā¦ā¦.ā
Well having a bright, boisterous girl sounds about right, and I have no qualms playing the straight man. Itās within the realm I can handle too although if it were an ordinary girl, her attitude would almost assuredly put them off.
Just as I was thinking soā¦ā¦
āReally, we get along real well Yuu!ā
ā¦ā¦an angel descended before me. Even if Iām not a man you might end up causing my heart to stop if you show off such a broad, full-faced smile like that. An arrow shot straight through my heart. Who is out here shooting arrows around?
But even if she is an absurd ditz, her cuteness gets a gold star for a perfect score. Aah, a wonderful, high-energy beautiful girl.
