The Carnivorous Beast Beauties Are Dying to Devour This Herbivorous Beast Me - 28

Chapter 28: The Beginning of a New Spring

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

“The long-awaited day has finally arrived!”

“It really has…”

“You’ve been saying ‘I can’t wait!~’ almost every day.”

“But… The new uniform really suits you, Chinatsu-san.”

Donned in the same uniform as us, Chinatsu looked so full of energy this early in the morning. Yes. Chinatsu started attending the same high school as me starting this April. The new student entrance ceremony was already done yesterday and today was the actual start of the new school term. This was also the first day for the upperclassmen to meet the new freshmen. In other words, this was the first day that I got to walk to school together with Chinatsu.

Having watched my back every day as I walked to school with Miran and Seira-san, Chinatsu was eager to attend the same high school as us. She was now finally free from the loneliness of having to walk in a different direction from us. It was no wonder she was so full of energy this morning. 

“In any case, congratulations on becoming a high school student, Chinacchan.”

“Yeah. Congratulations.”

“Thank you! From today on, I will be going to school with all of you! I won’t let you keep hogging my Onii all to yourself!”

“And looks like we’re going to have another noisy year…”

Though Miran muttered that with a hint of exasperation in her voice, but she couldn’t hide the smile tugging at the corners of her mouth. Despite everything she said, Miran was really fond of Chinatsu after all. 

“Shall we go to school now? I don’t want to be late on the first day of school.”

“Yeah! Let’s go, Onii!”

Now that we had finished getting ready, Chinatsu immediately grabbed my right hand as we stepped out of the house. A moment later, Miran also took hold of my left hand. Feeling left behind, Seira-san reached her hand out to me, but her hand found no place to settle. For someone who usually remained expressionless, she actually looked visibly dejected. 

“Well, it can’t be helped. Today’s main star is Chinatsu-san, after all.”

“This is my rightful throne for today!”

“And what about Miran?”

“… She might get lost if Haruku-kun doesn’t hold her hand.”

“Oi! Do you think I’m a grade schooler or something?!”

“To be fair, people would definitely think you’re a grade schooler if they don’t know who you are.”

“You… Don’t compare me to someone as oversized as you! It’s not me that is small, it’s you who are too big!”

“Nnha-! Wait-! Nnh…!”

While raising her voice in a fit of anger, Miran for some reason mercilessly grabbed Seira-san’s boobs. The sheer size of Seira-san’s chest was extraordinary, even through her uniform. Miran’s small hands sank into the soft flesh. She kneaded and squished. The soft flesh between her fingers was very compliant, moving in accordance to Miran’s motion. Seeing the difference of size between them, it seemed it’d be hard for Miran to handle one side with only one hand. Miran had to use both hands just to knead one side. This made me think that both of them had a point. Seira-san’s size was remarkable, but at the same time, Miran was also on the petite side. Still, Seira-san was at fault too. She had the tendency to throw out blunt remarks without thinking it twice first. 

“Onii, let’s just leave those two behind and head out to school already.”

“…! Ri-Right…!’

It seemed Chinatsu caught me staring at Seira-san’s chest, since he suddenly gripped my hand so tightly that my hand almost creaked. Unable to resist, I let my body get pulled along by Chinatsu as she took the lead. 

♢♢♢♢

It didn’t take long for Miran to catch up with us. She quickly grabbed one of my hands, making both of my hands occupied. Left with no choice, Seira-san stood directly behind me, clutching the hem of my uniform. Being surrounded by beautiful girls on all sides might sound great, but I couldn’t help wondering what passersby might think about this strange dynamic… The stares were almost palpable. We continued walking toward the school in this fashion for a few minutes and just as we reached an intersection—

“Ahh…!”

“Kyaa!”

But then, Miran suddenly collided with someone who came running from the left side. The two of them fell toward me together. I instinctively tried to prevent them both from falling. Thanks to my beastman quick reflexes, I was able to catch both Miran and the other person, but because of my small frame and lack of core strength, the momentum caused me to lose my balance. I began to fall backward—

“Nh…!”

“Be careful!”

Thankfully, both Seira-san and Chinatsu reacted just as quickly as me. They caught me effortlessly, preventing me from falling. 

Hmm… This softness reminds me of an airbag… No, wait! That’s not it!!

While ignoring the softness from Chinatsu and Seira-san’s body that enveloped my back and shoulders, I helped Miran and the other person to their feet. The person who had collided with Miran was a girl who was slightly shorter than me. She was wearing glasses. Her black hair was tied neatly in a braid and her slightly hunched posture gave me the impression of… Well, to put it bluntly… A classic ‘introvert’ vibe.

No offense intended—I’m not exactly one to talk, given I look like an introvert too.

“U-Umm… I’m so sorry…!”

“Running like that is dangerous!”

“Anyway, are you two hurt?”

“I’m fine, but… Thanks, Haru.”

“Ye-Yes! U-Ummm… Thank you for catching me! I didn’t get hurt either!”

“Thank goodness.. But you know, running into an intersection is really dangerous, okay?”

“That’s right. You’re lucky it was just us, but if it had been a car, you would’ve gotten seriously injured.”

“Hii-! U-Umm… I…”

Miran and Seira-san’s piercing glares locked onto the girl like a pair of lasers. Their words were spoken out of concern for her safety, but well… Even I would be trembling from fear by their glares. I couldn’t help but feel a bit sorry for the other girl…

“I-I’m so sorry!!”

“””-?!?!”””

Unable to withstand the pressure from Seira-san and Miran’s piercing glares, the girl suddenly pressed herself against my back to hide from their stares!
