Himegi-san a Bride from the Future Begs Me to Confess My Love to Her Again - Volume 1 Chapter 2.2

Date 2

“It looks like the kind of pocket watch the White Rabbit would carry in Alice in Wonderland. Can I touch it?”

“Of course.”

Given permission, I touch the pocket watch without hesitation. I open the lid and inspect the dial.

“The numbers on the dial are in English and digits. Is this foreign-made? Also, it seems to be broken.”

The pocket watch wasn’t ticking. Neither the second hand nor the minute hand nor even the hour hand was moving.

I try turning the crown left and right, but the clock hands show no sign of movement.

“That’s normal for now.”

“What do you mean?”

“Before explaining that matter, let me first tell you the circumstances of how I acquired the pocket watch.”

“The circumstances of how you acquired it?”

“The original owner of that pocket watch was my grandmother. I had a certain bet with my grandmother and won quite spectacularly, receiving this pocket watch as a prize. Oh, by the way, my grandmother is a witch.”

She revealed something extraordinary so casually…

“A witch, huh…”

After the time traveler, now we have a witch.

I don’t want to imagine it, but I wonder if aliens or zombies will show up eventually.

“You’re not very surprised, are you?”

“No, I’m quite surprised. Um, your grandmother was actually a witch?”

“I don’t know all the details, but she said she wasn’t the type of witch who can conjure flames from her hands or transform into a dragon. Apparently, she excelled at creating mysterious items. She was that kind of witch.”

“It’s quite an incredible story.”

I see, there are types of witches who can transform into dragons or conjure flames from their hands in this world…

It seems that there are even more incredible people in this world than I had thought.

It’s a fact that’s hard to accept for someone like me who’s anti-occult.

“If it’s not broken, could you show me how to use it?”

I no longer doubt that Himegi-san is a time traveler.

So, why did I make such a request? Simply out of curiosity.

If possible, I’d like to etch the moment of time travel into my eyes.

“I’d love to fulfill your expectations, but… it’s impossible.”

“Why?”

“I’ll explain that right now.”

Himegi stands up from her chair and approaches me. Then,

“——Huh!?”

She suddenly starts taking off her red hoodie.

Naturally, after removing her clothes, her upper body is in her underwear—meaning she’s only wearing the bra I bought yesterday.

“W-Wha—”

I can’t comprehend why she suddenly took such an action——

Either way, there’s absolutely no reason for me to blatantly stare at Himegi’s chest, so I avert my gaze from her.

“Don’t be shy, look over here, Ha-kun.”

“N-No, it’s not that I’m shy… It’s just not okay, seriously.”

“If you don’t look, then there’s no point in me undressing.”

“No-no-no. No matter how much you ask, I can’t do it. Please spare me.”

“Just look this way!”

Himegi firmly grabs my face and turns it in her direction.

Then, my eyes meet her two prominent bosoms. Embarrassingly enough, I’m captivated by their size.

Black and pink bra. For someone like me with no experience with women, this is an extremely stimulating sight.

“… See the number on the right breast?”

“Huh? Numbers?”

Indeed, there are numbers on Himegi’s chest.

Engraved in black letters, it reads ’55.’

What? I’m sure it was ’60’ yesterday…

“It seems like you’ve noticed.”

“I think it was ’60’ yesterday.”

“Exactly. Yesterday’s number was ’60.’ But today, it’s ’55.’ Do you understand the meaning behind this?”

To be asked ‘Do you understand the meaning behind this?’——I think only a great detective could instantly come up with an answer.

At the very least, I, an ordinary person, have no clue.

“No, I have no idea. By the way, is that some kind of tattoo?”

“Do you think tattoos in this world would change every now and then?”

“…isn’t that possible in the future?”

“There’s no way that’s the case. By the way, it’s not written in marker either. This is evidence of time travel. You can think of it as a magical imprint engraved by magic.”

“A magical imprint…”

A little while ago, this word would have been one I would’ve laughed at and made fun of, but now, I can easily accept it.

Hmm, no doubt I’ve been influenced by her. Thinking that way, I feel a bit conflicted.

“By the way, what does that number mean?”

“This number represents how much longer it can stay in this timeline. In other words, it’s a number indicating a time limit.”

“Um… Does that mean that when the number reaches ‘0,’ you’ll return to the future?”

“Exactly. When the number engraved on this chest reaches ‘0,’ it means I’ll return to the timeline I came from.”

“In other words, there’s a limitation…”

“Well, considering it’s Ha-kun we’re talking about, you must have thought it was something related to breasts, right?”

“…Sorry. I thought you put the number ’60’ because your breast size is 60 inches.”

Upon hearing my words, she pressed her temple and looked at me with an exasperated expression.

“60 inches would be 152 centimeters when converted. It’s not that big, of course.”

“I-I see.”

“By the way, my bust size is an H-cup with a measurement of 95. Also, if I remember correctly, I think I was an F-cup back in high school.”

Himegi-san keeps revealing something amazing with a blunt face.

For some reason, an image of Himegi-san in a school uniform appeared in my mind.

I see, so that size is an F-cup. Even now, it’s really big, but to think it could still get bigger…

“Hehehe. Blushing and giving cute reactions, huh?”

“P-Please don’t make fun of me…”

“I’m sorry. Lately, whenever I’ve tried these kinds of jokes on Ha-kun, he just brushes them off. So, seeing your reaction felt fresh, or rather, nostalgic.”

“It’s fine to reminisce, but please don’t make fun of me.”

Himegi-san says, ‘Stingy, huh’ and takes a big bite of her sandwich.

Hmm, just as I thought, the Himegi-san I know is slightly different from the one before me.

In my mind, Touka Himegi was a cool and stylish girl, but the current Himegi-san is frank, has a sense of humor, and gives off a friendly impression.

Have the six years influenced her personality in some way, or was she always like this from the start?

Either way, I’ve come to know this unexpected side of her.
