The Unattainable Flower Called The Ice Queen of the School Reika Himuro Is My Pet - Chapter 8

I Can’t Keep Up With These Retorts!

It wasn’t a misunderstanding! In fact, I wished it was!

“Wait, wait, wait! What are you talking about?! You, Himuro Reika, want to be my pet? That’s impossible! What do you even mean by ‘pet’ anyway?!”

I inadvertently retorted with all my might.

It’s supposed to be a confession, but instead of responding to that confession, I’m questioning the one who confessed!?

“What do I mean by that? Well, it’s pretty obvious. First, you’d put a collar around my neck, then attach a leash to that collar. Wouldn’t it be great if we could stroll around the park at night like that, Inukai-kun?”

Himuro Reika casually answered my retort, her eyes filled with expectation and her expression reminiscent of a dog presented with a treat.

“You did confess to me, right?”

“Yes, of course. That’s why I’m asking you to make me your pet. Besides, didn’t you shout earlier, ‘I want a pet so badly right now, anything, even if it’s Himuro Reika!’ ? Shouldn’t you just accept it? After all, why don’t you jump at the chance to have a beautiful girl like me as your pet?”

“Hold on! I don’t know where to start, but for now, while I did say, ‘I’ve always wanted to have a dog or a cat as a pet someday,’ I never said anything about ‘I want a pet so badly right now, anything, even if it’s Himuro Reika!’ At the very least, I need to point this out (Tsukko masete morau)! If that’s really what you heard, then I’d recommend visiting an otolaryngologist!”

“To retort to a girl with ‘let me insert it into you (Tsukkoma sete morau)’… after all, you’re a boy, Inukai-kun… But such matters should be discussed after our hearts connect as pet and owner, you know?”

“No, normally that’s a discussion between lovers, not pet and owner!”

This is bad. I can’t keep up with these retorts…

“Why did you even confess to me in the first place, Himuro Reika?”

No longer regarded her as the unattainable flower from a different world up now, I naturally stopped using honorifics with Himuro Reika.

“Of course, one reason is that I like you, Inukai-kun as a man. But I’ve also always been aware of my unique ‘preferences’, so I’ve kept those feelings deep down inside, never letting them show.”
