The Unattainable Flower Called The Ice Queen of the School Reika Himuro Is My Pet - Chapter 18

Reika Shouts Out Her Feelings

“Could you hold onto the loop at the end of this rope?”

“Well, I suppose that’s fine…uh, wait a minute.”

Following Reika’s request, without giving it much thought, I grabbed the loop at the end of the rope.

Seeing this, Reika, with a faint blush and a satisfied expression, began to take something out of her bag to put around her neck.

This situation is very weird.

“Yes? What is it? As I said earlier, all you need to do is hold onto that loop.”

I tried to question Reika about it, but she preemptively countered me.

No matter how I slice it, this feels weird. Still, I’ll just get into it without asking another question.

“Well, I don’t mind holding the end of the rope, but——”

“Then isn’t that fine? I think it’s better to simply do as told without overthinking. Isn’t that better?”

“—Sure. But cutting someone off to push your opinion isn’t the best way to go about things. Doesn’t that just show that even you realize what you’re asking is out of order?”

“Ugh…”

“So, back to the point… What is that thing you’re trying to put around your neck?”

“…Ch…”

“Ch?”

“… Choker…?”

I pointed to the leather loop that Reika was trying to put around her neck and asked her what it was.

Flustered, her gaze darting everywhere and sweat forming on her face, she muttered, “Choker.”

“Come on, calling this a choker… what I’m holding clearly looks like a leash for dogs, doesn’t it?”

It makes my head hurt a little to think that she casually calls this leash a rope.

“But… But it can’t be helped! Even though we’re lovers, we haven’t done anything couple-like in this past week! Can’t we do something that makes us feel like a couple?!”

And finally, as if giving in, Reika shouts out her feelings.

“No, isn’t the issue here not that we haven’t been acting like a couple, but rather that I haven’t been treating you like a pet?”

“But… But I thought that when I got a boyfriend, he’d also treat me like a pet… All this time I’ve been holding back, and now that I have a boyfriend, I find myself daydreaming more and more about when he’ll treat me like a pet… I just couldn’t hold back any longer…”
