Ch. 81.1 - Her Thoughts Pt1
When had Shihou and Nogami suddenly disappear?
It was only a brief moment of carelessness. When Harutaki turned his head again, he realized that the two girls who had been huddled together whispering just moments ago were nowhere to be seen.
Just as he was wondering whether he should head deeper into the shop to look for them, someone suddenly patted his shoulder from behind.
“Yo, isn’t this Hoshikawa? What are you sneaking around doing here?”
He turned around. The moment he saw who that familiar voice belonged to, his heart skipped a beat—
An oversized white knit sweater hung loosely on her frame, giving off a precarious, almost fragile kind of cuteness. The layered round neckline looked like ruffled lace encircling a swan-like, slender, fair neck. Over it was a sky-blue canvas jacket, though she had only slipped her arms into the sleeves, leaving it half-worn, half-slipped-off, like the feathered robe of a celestial maiden, lightly supporting her delicate body.
Below that was a pleated gauze skirt that fell all the way to her ankles, revealing a pair of pale pink high-top canvas sneakers.
“Y–yo… yo?”
Isn’t this cheating?!
