The reason why this genius little girl who doesn't get along with anyone, wants to be only spoiled by me - Episode 2

Episode 2: The Munching Princess

—Hoshimiya-san was happily eating the chocolate snack.

Even though her usual self is composed, yet right now her cheeks were adorably plumped up. Watching her like that, I couldn’t help but be surprised.

(Hoshimiya san, when I see her act like this, I realize she really is a little kid at the end of the day.)

Given her skipping grades and that mature demeanor she exhibits, Hoshimiya-san’s mental age should be far beyond anyone else. At just the age of eight, she had a composure reminiscence of an adult, also her attitude incredibly patient.

That was the very reason why her youth is extremely lonely. No, perhaps “solitary” would be a better word instead.

To me, she was a noble, untouchable “princess.”

That’s exactly the kind of existence I thought she was. But…

“…Want one more?”

“—-!!”

After eating up her piece of chocolate, she looked at me with those wanting-hungry eyes, so I took another piece from the bag and asked if she would want another. Doing which, she nodded enthusiastically.

Maybe it was just that delicious?

On the other hand, she, without even bothering to grab it herself anymore, Hoshimiya-san bit down on the chocolate bamboo shoot along with my fingers still holding it.

“*Nom. Munch munch. Funyaaa.*”

If I had to put it into sound effects, it would go something like that.

She chewed and savored it, and then had her face lighting up with a sweet smile with the aftertaste.

Seeing her adorably smile delightful, I couldn’t help but have my own face break into a smile as well.

“There’s plenty, you can have as much as you want.”

“….Mm! Mm!”

At my offer, her eyes sparkled, and she opened her mouth. She was staring at my fingers, as if saying, “Feed me more already.”

(I—I’d really prefer if she ate it herself, though…)

I offered her the box of treats, but Hoshimiya-san didn’t respond at all. She just sat there with her mouth open, waiting for me to feed her.

Oh well it can’t be helped huh. To an outsider, it might look like I was feeding a little girl, but Hoshimiya-san was clearly the one requesting it. Right now, I should just go along and respect her desires/will.

With that said, I continued feeding her those chocolate snacks for a while.

“*Nom*”

At first, Hoshimiya-san savored each piece, but soon, as if she couldn’t hold back any longer, she started eating them faster. Before I knew it, her cheeks looked like a chipmunk, puffed out as she munched.

Because of which, before long she finished the entire pack.

*Nom*

For the last piece, she bit down my fingers and the chocolate as a whole, after which, she even licked off the chocolate that had melted on my fingers before savoring it in her mouth.

*Nom nom nom… gulp*

After a while of enjoying her munching session, she finally finished and murmured this softly.

“…I never knew something this delicious existed in this world.”

Her voice was refined yet slightly lisped, almost childlike.

Now that I think about it, this was the first time I’d really heard Hoshimiya san speak in a complete sentence. Till now, I’d only ever heard her say “yes” or “no” in response to questions placed before her.

In her response to her mature vibe, her voice was as adorable and cute, suiting her age.

“W-Who are you? To have something so delicious hidden away… are you perhaps a spy from another country trying to win me over?”

“No, no, I’m just your classmate.”

Just what is this girl saying?

If any other kid said that, it would sound like a joke and would laugh it out. But in Hoshimiya-san’s case, given her intelligence and connections, it was hard to tell if she was serious or playful.

She was famous to that degree after all.

If I remember correctly, she’d had a few papers published in prominent scientific journals throughout the world. Even at her age 8, she’d already collaborated on research with many countries too, so maybe she actually is being targeted my various foreign countries.

Well unfortunately so, I’m just an ordinary, normal high school boy that you can find just anywhere. Far from anything as cool as a spy.

At best, I’m just a background character, Mob A, after all.
