Episode 41: Chocolate Pie Bitess

By the time we finished lunch, I took out a certain product from my convenience store bag.

“…Ah!”

Upon seeing it, Hime’s eyes sparkled like stars.

Sitting right next to me on the sofa, she watched closely at my hands with keen interest.

“Yohei-kun, is it bamboo shoot snack today as—eh, arre? This one’s a looks a little different.”

“Un. This one’s delicious too, so I wanted you and Sei-san to try it.”

What I pulled out, was a snack that I had bought along with my lunch from the convenience store.

The past two days, I had brought the mushroom and bamboo shoot snacks, but I figured they might get bored of the same thing if I brought that continuously. So today, I chose something different.

“This is… ‘Chocolate Pie Bitess’ or so it’s written on the pack?”

“Eh? But that’s weird, isn’t it? Pies don’t grow on trees, right~.”

Exactly. What I’d brought this time was a famous chocolate pie-fruit snack, well known as the lover of all sweet gourmets.

Standing alongside the mushroom and bamboo shoot sweets, another popular treat. Even I bought it often myself whenever I had a craving.

Moreover, its bite-sized portions are just so perfect for snacking during gaming sessions right.

“Onee-chan, calm down. This is just the product name. It’s not a real fruit.”

“O-Oh, a–as I thought so, right! Phew, for a second I got perplexed thinking that the technology had advanced so far without me knowing anything about it.”

“But… a tree that grows chocolate pies…! That sounds so dreamy, although it isn’t realistic. But, it reminds me of a candy house I heard in fairy tales!”

Sei-san, just like Hime, seemed quite curious it seems.

Until a moment ago, she had been lounging comfortably on the opposite sofa, but at some point, she had already moved to our side.

With Hime sandwiched between, and right beside her was Sei-san. Somehow I feel like my heart is going to race because of that.

For someone like me, she looks like a flower too far from reach. Rather more appropriately, she looks so feminine that just by closing distance with her, I was getting perplexed, so I was trying my best to not think about it. Thus, I instead decided to concentrate my presence of mind on the heat that was getting exchanged from the part of my body touching Hime’s. For the sake of relaxing and controlling my emotions.

Fu~… As I thought, Hime’s warmth really soothes me. Okay, now I’m all calmed!

“…Here, if you’d like, try one.”

Saying so, I opened the box, took out two individually wrapped chocolate pies, and handed it out to them.

“Thank you~! Waaa~ I wonder what it will taste like?”

Sei-san politely accepted hers. But Hime didn’t even try to reach out her hand to me.

Not because she didn’t want it—her eyes were instead fixed on me expectantly.

“Yohei-kun, thank you so much for today as well♪ Aah~nn!”

After expressing her gratitude, she opened her mouth wide and looked up—like a little chick waiting to be fed by her mother birdie.

(Don’t tell me, has she… made it normal for me to feed her?)

Come to think of it, I had fed her in the mushroom and bamboo shoot snacks too. As she ate from my hand itself, maybe this time as well, she thought this was just how things worked, or so.

How should I say… somehow, I felt a little guilty and reluctant. It is a feeling like, I am taking advantage of the fact that the small child knows nothing about this, and doing what I please with her; because of which, I felt even more reluctant.

“Aah~n.”

But Hime kept waiting patiently, her tiny teeth and pink tongue visible in her open mouth.

Her still small baby teeth, which hadn’t fully grown in, with her little canines and molar teeth were slightly exposed in front of me.

Her other small teeths, without any blemishes, with her innocently pinkish colored, and as I stared a bit too long, the guilt started building in me.

To judge the way a little girl’s teeths are happening, that is definitely something that can prove that I am a lolicon. Such thoughts went by me.

(…well, whatever.)

For the time being, if this was what Hime wanted.

If I were to think about something strange, because of which I disappoint her instead, then it would be better to not think about anything whatsoever right now.

With that thought, I unwrapped the chocolate pie and gently placed it into her mouth.

“Nom… nom… ehe~♪”

Doing so, Hime’s cheeks puffed out as she happily chewed, putting on a blissful smile, blooming on her face.

I am able to see this smile. Then I suppose guilt doesn’t matter as much anymore.

Even if people thought I was a lolicon—if Hime was happy with that, that was what mattered the most——.
