First Night: Perform a Contract with me, You Present Here

Part 1

—————–The first thing that caught my eye was her purple hair.

It was in the middle of night, in the park, a really dark place where I saw that.  

The hair of that girl in her evening dress was shining terrifyingly in the dark. It was as if it were just a bunch of silk threads floating in the air. Those strands of her hair fluttered every time the wind blew, as if it were riding the smooth waves of the nightly breeze. That sight stopped my breath momentarily.

It’s not as if the girl was doing anything specifically over there. She was just bathing in the light of the moonlight which shone periodically through the clouds. She was just standing there gracefully. That’s all she was doing. But even so, with just that my heart was completely grasped by that ephemeral sight in front of me. Because that sight was ever so incredible, she was incredibly beautiful.

Looking at the night sky with her big broad eyes, and that pointed nose, those long eyelashes, was very-very sexy. That lustrous line continuing from her chin  all the way down to her slender neck was just enchanting to the eyes. Those slender long legs, and those—- 

No~, I must control myself.

Her entire body, those features of hers were just too attractive to me. I cannot even comprehend where to even look at anymore. This was the first time that I, a boy of just 10 years old, felt such a feeling for a girl. I can’t understand anything anymore, what should I do or what not to.

……Moreover, is that person really a human to begin with?

That was indeed a fundamental question which arose in my mind all of a sudden. I indeed perceived her as a human through my eyes, but the entire atmosphere, or should I say, the whole ambience surrounding her is nowhere even close to any ordinary human—- like my friends or family. 

Above all, her entire body radiated a gentle light of purple color. As if the cherry blossoms were dancing amidst the pale moonlight; small reflections of colored lights were born and extinguished one after the other; and after getting extinguished, they were reborn over and over again.

That scene was breathtakingly beautiful, but to think that there is a human capable of doing this….

It’s beyond my realm of knowledge. But for now, rather than thinking about such unnecessary things, I must continue to gaze at this person. It is my very duty as a boy, no, as a man. I MUST NOT NEGLECT IT. And thus, concluding this thought, MY ACTIONS ARE INEVITABLE!

Being driven by a sense of duty which originates from who knows where~, I continued staring at the girl who was standing in the darkness of the night, gazing at that lonely or perhaps star-laden sky.

……….

Ah…

So Beautiful~.

A terrible place, and with that, the words whose meaning I can hardly even understand myself now, is withheld deep within my chest. She’s not someone who’s considered beautiful just because something about her is pretty, no, she’s beautiful because each and every single part of her is pretty. Such a thought was comprehended deep inside my heart. At that very moment, that girl finally noticed the silly-faced bystander— me, looking at her. It was as if she was drinking the air present in the atmosphere with those well-structured lips. Her eyes, which appeared as if it would suck me dry, continued to stare at me.

My heart made a loud ‘Do-Kun’ sound.

Whilst continuing to stare at me, who was on the verge of losing consciousness at this very moment, that person opened her small, cute lips.

“—-I plead to you. Please don’t tell anyone about what you saw tonight.”

An incredibly gentle, comforting and glasslike voice permeates my ears and reverberates into the inner layers of my heart. Whether she was a beast or even a monster, her sweet melodious voice, which could melt anyone who hears a single word by her, went on to ask for a specific ‘request’ from me. 

Needless to say, I nodded in agreement.

I, who even forgot how to speak, shook my head vertically vigorously – ‘kokukoku’ – many times to show my agreement. Of course, even during all that, I didn’t take my eyes off her for a single moment. When she turned her waist around and was just about to leave, from the thin layer of clothing hiding her waist, I was able to, just by a complete coincidence, peek at those pure white thighs of hers. 

The very moment I witnessed them, my heartbeat started to beat a dozen times faster than before.

And the most eye-catching part, from that boldly exposed chest, a peek of those soft, graceful, and rich looking chest, were two —-

“BOOBIES!” [OPPAI DA!]

“HYAAA~!!”

Our loud screams reached my ears, as I returned to being back to myself after that again.

Etto… where is this place even?

I blinked my eyes looking at my nearby surroundings and found something after what came first to my field of vision, a familiar white wall. With it was an outdated printing-press and a bookshelf filled with various files. The next thing that comes to my line of sight is this week’s student council work orders schedule that was written on the whiteboard close-by.

If you look down upon the hand, there are a bunch of clips and summary tables thrown and scattered around carelessly. The column mentioning the name of the creator of this schedule, was a familiar name written in a shitty handwriting, the words read – ‘Shimotsuke Takuma’, that was indeed, my own personal name. But other than that information on the schedule, there was nothing else written at all. It was a completely blank board.

It seems like I had fallen asleep while sitting on the chair.

“AH! Now I understand! I was just having a dream.”

When I finally got convinced in my still puzzled mind, I went on to scratch off the remaining rubble in my still drowsy eyes. It seems like I had fallen asleep while working in the student council room, and was dreaming the same dream I had dreamt over 6 years ago again.

Accurately speaking, it was the night of April 30th from 6 years ago. I had just happened to cross by that park that day where I saw that sight I still remember occurring that night.

“Well, when I do my club work, I do get sleepy very easily~ heh…… ok~, just one last spurt~”

“…… But unfortunately, it’s already closing time.”

*pan-pan

When I hit my face with my hands and got some motivation drilled into my mind, a cool voice suddenly reached my ears. 

“Huh, is that so~?”

I felt as if I had struck the lottery, I had felt drawn towards that clerical-emotionless voice,, I turned over to look towards the speaker. What came into view was a small-petite girl standing there looking at me, or rather a small-petite girl who was being blatantly wary of me.

As I was discerning whether it was this very child that raised the scream as I got up and said those words; (TL: OPPAI DA, remember?) that small someone, with an expression cold and inhuman-like, bowed her head in front of me.

“Good Morning, Shimotsuke-Sempai”

“Eh? Ah, good morning. It is very polite of you.” 

[TL note: kind of like an add on, said as a response when children or juniors are polite to them, “Kore wa go teinei ni” ]

I reflexively bowed to her too, after doing which, I once again looked at the girl in question standing in front of me. As I sat down again, I found out that her height was just about the same as me sitting on the chair; so perhaps she was about 140 cm tall, hmm.

Her well-structured face still retained those childlike qualities you’d expect from looking at her, but because of her long soft hair, which hid not only her ears, but her eyes too, I was unable to comprehend her expressions.

From the gap of her blazer, you could see a uniform for middle school students being worn with a simple silver pendant shaped in the form of a key, hanging and fluttering alongside her neck. Other than that, there weren’t any other ornaments that could be seen from this sight. If I say so myself, she appears to look like a really normal child/student. Rather, she should actually already cut those overgrown bangs of hers which cover her eyes… If only she could show a little bit more of her face~.

And with that, just add a bit more height and slightly larger breasts!… and so, I instinctively started to think while searching for a memory in my head.
