The Unattainable Flower Called The Ice Queen of the School Reika Himuro Is My Pet - Chapter 57

A Positive Trend

“IF that’s all you need, that’s fine, in fact, I can… eh, what? Did I hear that right? Can you say it again?”

When I told Reika about the price, at first, she responded quickly but then seemed to double-check as if something didn’t quite click.

Reika’s eyes were full of anticipation, her breathing ragged, and she even drooled with excitement.

She’s making a face that she definitely wouldn’t want others to see.

“No, I said a walk together late at night──”

“I’ll go! Of course I’ll go!! If you want, why don’t we go right now? Let’s go!!”

“No, it’s too risky to go now during daylight. Others might see us, we don’t know who might be around, and if someone reports us, the school will surely find out.”

Before I could finish explaining, Reika grabbed a collar and leash, panting heavily ‘haa haah’, and suggested going for a walk then.

When I replied that it was impossible because of the risks, she became a bit disheartened.

However, she quickly realized that we could still go for a walk later at night and became fidgety again, clearly unable to contain her excitement.

“Okay, I understand. But why the sudden change of heart from Master to suggest a walk?”

“No, it’s just that Reika always initiates some kind of pet play, so I thought maybe I should invite you to play once in a while. There’s no other reason.”

“Is that so? That’s a bit disappointing. But until recently, Master would never have initiated such a thing, so for me, this is a positive trend and I’m happy about it.”

Then Reika and I spent the rest of the day with casual chatter until nightfall.

We set a time and place to meet later in the night and then Reika went back to her house.

It’s now two o’clock at night, the so-called witching hour.

After confirming the notification on my smartphone, I head to the entrance of my house.

“Ah, You’re late, you know? I’ve been waiting forever.”

“No, you haven’t been waiting even a minute.”

“For me, a second feels like an eternity right now. I can’t wait even a second, so a minute feels incredibly long! No, that’s not important. Can you hurry up and put the collar and leash on me and take me for a walk?”

“Alright, just calm down for now.”

“I’ve calmed down, so hurry up! Come on, quickly!! Master, put the collar and leash on me!!”

“Hey! Quiet down! You’ll wake up my family!!”
