The Unattainable Flower Called The Ice Queen of the School Reika Himuro Is My Pet - Chapter 7

…Hmm?

‘What exactly is she about to tell me?’ I thought.

‘I don’t think it was a confession, but if it was really a confession, how should I reject her?’, this is also what I thought.

Yet, the words that came out of Himuro’s mouth were, ‘Do you want a pet?’

“…Excuse me? A-A pet?”

“Yes, a pet. Don’t you want one?”

What’s with her? She seems pretty excited right now.

Could it be that she found a stray kitten or puppy, and her parents told her, ‘Get rid of it!’, so now she’s looking for a new owner?

But would she really lure me to the back of the school building with such a misleading letter just for that?

Besides, someone like Himuro Reika could easily ask her friends and find an owner in no time.

Putting up a notice on the school’s bulletin board would reach more people, so it would be much more efficient than asking only me.

Regardless, why is she specifically asking me if I want a pet?

No matter how much I think about it, I can’t grasp Himuro Reika’s true intention.

“Well, I’ve always wanted to have a dog or a cat as a pet someday, but I can’t just get one without my family’s consent…”

With a non-committal tone, I imply that I’m not particularly keen on getting a pet.

“R-really?! That’s wonderful!”

For some reason, Himuro Reika seems incredibly pleased with my response.

We spent an entire year in the same class, but this is the first time I’ve seen her show such strong emotion.

“But I still need to ask my parents——”

“Don’t worry about that!”

What is she so confident about?

I wish she’d explain quickly.

“So, let me get to the point… Inukai-kun…”

“Yes…?”

“I like you as a member of the opposite sex, Inukai-kun! Please make me your pet!”

“…???”

Why did I think I heard “make me your pet”?

Did I mishear?

I’m already shocked that Himuro Reika confessed she likes me. But normally, after such a statement, anyone would expect words like “Will you go out with me?” or “Please make me your girlfriend.”

Yeah, “please make me your pet” can’t be right.

I must’ve misheard.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch the last part. Could you repeat that?”

“Geez, it can’t be helped. I said, ‘Please make me your pet’ after confessing to you, can you hear that now?”

“….”
