chapter 32
Episode 32: Rehearsal
Wow… yesterday was really a meaningful day… I never thought I could consume so much gloom…
Yesterday, due to a large-scale attack by Seleks in the city center, the buildings in the city center were almost completely destroyed.
But now, a day later, the reconstruction work by the Artemis Group has already begun, and the recovery seems surprisingly fast.
But what was that thing with Luna yesterday?
Thinking about such things, I opened the rooftop door as usual, and there was already someone on the bench.
The person put something in their pocket and turned to me with the usual cold eyes.
“Yo, Reina.”
“Oh, you came today too. I have some food.”
“Oh, thanks.”
I had almost no resistance to being treated like a pet anymore, so I took the lunch box handed to me by Reina and sat down next to her.
When I opened the lid, as usual, it was filled with delicious-looking food, and the taste was also superb.
“How is it?”
“Oh, it’s really good. Sorry for always getting such good food every day.”
“It’s fine. It’s the owner’s duty to prepare food for their pet. Besides, this is practice to be able to serve perfect dishes to someone someday.”
“Oh, the person you mentioned before.”
“Yes, that person is———”
Suddenly, her eyes changed and she started talking about that person, so I responded appropriately while enjoying the lunch.
Ah, it’s a nice day today too… and the lunch is delicious…
“Hey, are you listening to me?”
“Huh? Of course, I’m listening. I thought you seemed much more energetic.”
“…Yes, thank you for that time. It really helped.”
—
“That’s fine, I haven’t done anything anyway.”
Having Luna like me any more than this would just be an obstacle to my goals.
“Fufu, but I really am grateful. So I want to thank you… Let’s go somewhere fun together tomorrow.”
“Eh?”
I stopped eating my bento upon hearing those words.
Why is this happening!? There wasn’t any flag for a date event to trigger right now, was there!?
“…I appreciate the sentiment, but… you have someone you like, right? Then it’s probably best not to go on a date with someone like me, a regular student. Yeah, that’s definitely it.”
“This is just a simple way to repay you and practice for my date with that person. I have zero interest in you, so don’t worry.”
“Oh, is that how it is? If that’s the case, then I guess it’s fine.”
“Fufu, it’s settled then.”
And so, for some reason, I ended up practicing for a date with Reina tomorrow.
◇
After school ended, and with unusually little student council work, I returned home, took a shower, washed my hands thoroughly, and was now enjoying my healing time.
“Fufu♪”
As I gazed at the black cloth, a smile naturally spread across my face. This cloth, part of his robe, is the most important thing to me.
Waiting for this cloth makes me feel like he’s always by my side, which calms my heart immensely.
“Ahh~… so happy…♡”
Omega… I wonder where you are and what you’re doing right now… Maybe you’re thinking of me too…
As I indulged in these strange fantasies, a certain desire began to swell within me.
“…The scent… should I try to smell it…?”
I had tried to smell it many times before, but I always hesitated, thinking it might be too much.
But… I can’t hold back anymore…
In the end, unable to resist the urge, I inhaled the scent of his cloth.
Instantly, the smell of when he held me flooded back, wrapping me in a wave of happiness.
“Omega…♡”
At that moment, my love for Omega surged, and a chill filled the air, gathering around me.
The chill transformed into a pure white dress, and I unconsciously transformed into a magical girl.
“Wh-why am I transforming…? More importantly, the cloth of Omega!”
Looking at the cloth, I saw that it was untouched by the frost, and Omega’s cloth was safe.
Relieved by this, I released the ice in the room, lay back on the bed still transformed, and once again savored his scent.
—
“Surely this cloth will bring us together again… hehe”
Omega… for you, I would…
After that, I spent a blissful time.
