Chapter 206
“Motokooooo!” I blinked looking away from my lunch.
“Hey Hiromi.” I greeted as she rushed inside the apartment and leapt onto the couch. “Shouldn’t you be at school?”
“Noooo!” She whined and I just watched her until finally she stopped. “Yes, technically. But more importantly, Section 9 needs to sell some of the goods we picked up, and I set up some sales today. Guard my body?” She asked, suddenly throwing her head back as she lay on the couch. If this was an old movie, she’d have asked me to paint her like a french girl or something.
“Goof.” I told her as I reached out and poked her nose causing her to shift a bit more backwards and end up flat on her back. “Let me finish my lunch?”
“If you must! Ichi is downstairs in the truck.”
“Poor Ichi.” I said and then grabbed my lunch and took a big bite.
I continued to eat as Hiromi lay on the couch looking up at me upside down and it took until she reached out and poked my side that I realized she was focusing on something.
“Hiromi? I’m not ticklish, you know.” I said as her fingers were exploring my side. Showing no signs of stopping.
“Shush Motoko. If you are going to make me wait, then I’m going to enjoy the view.” She said and I laughed at that, but she was pressing against my side with a look of something on her face.
