40-Episode 37: The punishment shouldn't be hit. Maybe.







 May. The snow in the city has completely melted and more and more people are going out in short sleeves.

 The clothes I chose to wear for such warm weather were a plain gray hoodie and black jeans.
 It's the downside of not being interested in fashion. I would unconsciously choose gray and black.

 And, aside from that...

We're here! Sapporo Factory!

It wasn't me who was screaming, it was Takigawa.
 Right now, the group is all here to do some shopping for next week's overnight recreation.
 There are five members of my group: me, Ishida, Takigawa, the committee chairman, and Aihara-san.


I don't really know where it is, do I?

 The chairman of the committee responds to my words.

 The Sapporo Factory is a huge facility, and I'm not sure if it's a shopping mall or an entertainment facility.
 Anyway, it's huge, with a garden inside the large atrium. City, wow.....

I'm sorry for following you around because of your selfishness. Isn't it hard to move around with so many people?
I'm totally fine! Rather, I'm super happy to have Akari here! I can move so much!

 As I was thinking about this, I heard a pleasant conversation from behind.
 The voices were Akari-san and Takigawa. That's an unusual combination.

''Tch.''
Hi!

 Perhaps offended by Akari and Takigawa's banter, Soji is threatening Takigawa.

''Yuki-kun. I wonder if I don't need to stop you.
Don't worry, it's okay. Takigawa's a tough guy.

 Shizuku asked anxiously, but she's probably okay with it. We've only known each other for a short time, but Soji is not in the nature to resort to violence.

 The reason why Akari-san, Soji and Shizuku-san are here is because they are not only coming with our group to shop, but also with Shizuku-san and the others.
 Therefore, we have a large group of eight people in total for this shopping trip.

''Ah! Yuki-san, do you want me to take your luggage?
Sorge, it's really okay. You don't have to be so careful.

 Tuntz...it wasn't. After Soji intimidated Takigawa, he was coming towards me in a lurch.
 The reason why this is happening is because since Kuro revealed my identity, Soji, the Tsuntsunn punk, has been following me around, wanting to repay me for my kindness.

If you need anything, please feel free to tell me.
No, no, really, I'm fine.

 That's why Soji wanted to come with me for this shopping trip, and Shizuku and the others came along as well.

I'll allow you to have some privacy, but don't follow me around at school.
I'll be careful, sir.

 I don't want you to be careful, I just want you to stop it altogether....
 By the way, if you don't call me Soji, I'm forced to call you Soji now because you said you'll pick me up at home every morning if I don't call you Soji.

So much for the contrast, I'd better get going. It's Saturday and it's even more crowded than usual.
Yeah. Let's get out of here.

 I didn't mean to be contrived, but Ishida and Aihara-san were rushing us, so we had better get in.
 We went through the big automatic door and stepped through it to the Sapporo Factory.
 And then...






I'm sitting alone on a bench in front of a women's clothing store.

How did I get myself into this situation...

 Well, the reason is simple. The members disappeared one by one as I went around to various shops.
 Soji disappeared in front of a jacket shop and Ishida disappeared in front of a bookstore. Then Takigawa and Aihara-san hit it off on the subject of the outdoors and headed for the outdoor shop.

 So I was going to be with the chairperson, Shizuku and Akari.
 When three girls of that age get together, it's inevitable that they will talk about fashion.

I'm sorry, Yuki-kun. Can I go check out your clothes for a while?

 So, Akari left the words "I'm not busy.

'I'm bored...'

 I say a little bit, but it's been 20 minutes now.
 The clothing store that the three of us went into also has a selection of risqué underwear, making it difficult for me to get in.
 I'm bored.........

''Ah, yes.''

 Although I feel bad for the committee chairmen, I further strengthen my hearing, which was enhanced by God, with 'enhancement' and listen to a few conversations in the store.
 We're being waited on, this is the kind of thing that shouldn't result in punishment. Maybe.

''Sis, you're embarrassing me........''
"What are you talking about, your outfit looks great...! Shizuku, aren't your breasts getting bigger again!
You're right! You're big, Shizuku.
Ugh....

 I can hear Shizuku-san, Akari-san and the chairperson's happy conversation.
 It seems this is the first time the chairman and the Tsukino sisters have been involved, but they're getting used to each other a lot. And it's quite interesting.......I feel bad, but I'd like to hear a little more about it.

"Shizuku, what size are your breasts? You used to wear an E cup bra, didn't you?
'Uh-huh. It's still the same bra, so the size hasn't changed.
You're lying! His chest bulge is unnatural! You're wearing a bra while crushing your breasts!
Ugh....
Oh, so Shizuku has an F-cup too? Oh my God, I try so hard to massage every night and I'm a C-cup...
"Uruka-chan, a C is enough for me. I'm an A. I do my research on massage, diet and sleep and I practice it, but I'm an A. Shizuku, aren't you stealing my nutrition from me?
Oh, Lisa, don't rub it so hard.

 
 Akari is an A-cup, the chairman is a C-cup, and ...

Shizuku-san is an F-cup.........?

 I thought it was big when I held the princess, but I didn't expect it to be that big....
 I'm not a big-boob enthusiast or anything, but if it's that big, it's a matter of concern. I've heard that women are sensitive to gaze, so I must be careful.
 Anyway...

Thank God for that.

I thanked him for the coincidence of knowing the number of cups of the top three girls in the school that I wanted to have as a girlfriend.
 And then he dismisses the 'enhancement'. It's indeed bad to ask any more questions.

"Well, I'll wait a little longer and be quiet...
Do you believe in God?
!

 Suddenly, a man appeared in the seat next to me and spoke to me.

"Do you believe that God exists?
What, the existence of God...?

 Scary! I mean, when did that happen! I didn't notice it at all.
 The man is wearing a black hoodie and gray jeans, the exact opposite shade of my top and bottom. I couldn't make out his face because he was wearing a deep-brimmed knit hat with a brim.

'Do you believe that God exists?'

 What is this guy? Soliciting? I'm so scared!

Do you believe in God?
No, I mean, I believe in...

 I was so persistent that I couldn't help but answer.
 Well, I really believe it. I've met him in person.

'Right. Here's the stuff you were talking about.

 The man muttered and placed the paper bag containing something on the floor beside me. Then he quietly walks away.

'Hey!'

 I tried to rush after him, but he was no longer in sight.

'What was that, what was that...?

 It's so strange that it appears and disappears out of nowhere.
 Perhaps it was a phenomenon caused by 'yin and yang arts' or 'other powers'. Even if so, I couldn't learn it because it was so spur of the moment.
 It was a waste of time.

''But what is this?''

 I looked into the paper bag that was placed on the floor and saw what looked like a water bottle.

'If it's a bomb or something I'm afraid.

 Whatever the case, it would be a bad idea to leave it here without doing anything.

''Yuki-kun, I'm sorry for making you wait. Tell me Shizuku's chest size as an apology....
Hey, sis!
Akari-san, you need to apologize properly. Yuki-kun, I'm really sorry for making you wait.

 As I was thinking about this, Akari, Shizuku and the committee chairman came out of the shop.
 They hurriedly put away what looked like a water bottle into a paper bag and greeted the three of them.

''Huh? Were you shopping too, Yuki-kun?
Yeah, yeah. Sort of.

 The chairman of the committee asked me, and I lied on the spur of the moment. There's no way around it, let's bring it back.
 And I wasn't going to deliver it because it might be dangerous.

''The 'Triple Warding'

 I put a small 'ward' inside a paper bag and stiffly enclose something like a water bottle.
 Even if it's something dangerous, this should be able to handle it.

''........''
Junkanai, what's wrong?
"...Nope, nothing. I guess it's just my imagination.

 The chairperson walking in front of me turned around with a dubious look on her face. He responded to Akari's words with 'it's just my imagination', so he must not have noticed that I put up a 'ward'. I'd like to think so.
 From now on, I'll be careful when I use the 'Onmyoujutsu' in the future.

''Oh, Kosuke, you're here.......! What are you making a harem out of?
Mr. Yuki, there you are!

 In the midst of all this, everyone who had been scattered around, led by Takigawa and Soji, gathered together.
 The man from earlier and the object that looked like a water bottle were worrisome, but for now, I'll just enjoy shopping with everyone.

 The day ended happily with a bowl of soft-serve ice cream from the famous shop behind the Sapporo Factory.
