“You don’t need to thank me. I received a reward for it after all.” (Torimoto)
“See, that’s what he’s saying too. It’s fine now, isn’t it? Besides, there’s nothing you’d need to thank a man for!” (Shakuhara)
“…N-No… But… He saved my life… It doesn’t matter… if they’re a woman… or a man.” (Riwa)
“Then hurry up and do what you need to do! I don’t want to be in the same place as this man forever!” (Shakuhara)
“Wuu… Sorry, Kei-chan. I’m always troubling you to keep me company…” (Riwa)
“I’m the one who caused you trouble! Ugh, come on. You should just shut up and go along with whatever she wants!” (Shakuhara)
Good grief. Then hurry up and get this over with.
As Shakuhara pushed Riwa forward, her eyes swam about as she avoided my gaze.
“U-Uhh… Er… Umm, umm…” (Riwa)
Riwa took several deep breaths and timidly met my gaze. Then, she suddenly bowed vigorously.
“T-Thank you so much for saving me!” (Riwa)
Behind her, Shakuhara’s gaze became warm as if to tell her she did well.
“As I said earlier, don’t worry about it. I just accepted the request and did what I had to do.” (Torimoto)
“S-Still! …Still, it’s thanks to you that… I can continue to be with Kei-chan.” (Riwa)
“…I see. Then I will accept your thanks. That way, maybe the fierce animal behind you won’t eat me alive.” (Torimoto)
“Hey, what is that supposed to mean?! Are you joking?! Why would I want to eat a man like you?!” (Shakuhara)
“Oh, then you’ll help yourself to a girl? …You’re homosexual then?” (Torimoto)
If she was, it would be my first time meeting someone like that.
“No, I’m not! Ah, but I don’t like men either! Men are monkeys who only think about getting laid!” (Shakuhara)
No, that’s not true.
I didn’t have anything against yuri or yaoi. I thought it was fine either way. But perhaps because I was a guy, I felt better about girl-girl than guy-guy. I wondered if I would feel the same way if I were a woman.
“Should a woman like you be throwing around words like ‘getting laid’?” (Torimoto)
