Vol 2 Chapter 15 – Get Out of Here! You Pervert Monkey!【Vol 2: The Cat-Eared Girl, Eclair】

Regardless of the circumstances, we made our way inside the house. Seated around the round table in the living room were me, Milfy, and the cat-eared girl who’d attacked me so suddenly.

She wore a white sleeveless tunic over a vivid blue short-sleeved jacket. Her legs extended gracefully from extremely short blue pants—Milfy called them “hot pants”—with a supple thigh that spoke of youthful energy. She had a different kind of charm than Milfy, something more wholesome and athletic.

But the way she stood with her arms crossed, her cat ears quivering as she stared daggers at me—honestly, it was terrifying.

“Sorry about that, Theo. Are you hurt?” Milfy peered at my face with concern. I gave an awkward laugh in response.

“No, I’m fine. Just my shirt got torn.”

“Like I said, introductions got mixed up… this is Éclair. She’s my childhood friend and, as you can see, a cat-folk. She’s five years younger than me, so she’s about your age, Theo.”

“Ah, I see.”

I felt a small wave of relief finding something in common—which lasted all of a second.

“That doesn’t mean you get to speak casually with me, or I’ll kill you.”

“Hyuh?!”

“Éclair!”

At her threat, I instinctively recoiled. Milfy’s voice cut through sharply with rebuke.

“Honestly! Can’t you talk to people normally?”

“Sis, how can you talk to that guy like he’s normal? Didn’t that perverted scumbag dirty your body?”

“I’ve told you already, it wasn’t like that. It was purely treatment.”

“Yeah, right. Maybe he sweet-talked you into it? Sis, you’re more naive than you look.”

“That’s not it. Look—I’m cured because of it.”

“What proof do you have that body fluids cured it? Maybe he lied and said it was the only way to treat it with body fluids, then took things in a perverted direction.”

“That’s enough!!”

Milfy’s sharp voice made Éclair’s shoulders jump.

“There’s a difference between what you can and can’t say. You’re being rude to Theo.”

“…H-hmph.”

Éclair turned her face away with a huff, putting up a wall. Milfy let out a small, troubled sigh.

“Don’t take it personally, Theo.”

“N-no, I don’t mind at all,” I said, waving both hands to protest. Though that was a lie, I wanted to keep things peaceful here.

“I told Éclair about you during my treatment. But when I explained the cure method, she absolutely lost it…”

“Of course! What kind of world has a curse remover who treats people with… with that?”

Éclair spat out the words.

…Fair enough, honestly. If I were in her position, I’d think the same thing. Milfy was the unusual one for accepting it so readily.

“So that’s why I’m late asking you to treat her. Sorry about that.”

“No, please don’t apologize. I mean…” If I’d been treating both of them at the same time, I definitely would’ve collapsed from exhaustion.

“Um, but Éclair, Miss…”

“What?”

When I spoke up, she glared at me as expected. But I steadied my resolve and continued.

“I think we can’t just leave the curse as is. Isn’t it causing you serious pain right now?”

While Milfy and I had been treating her curse over those several days, Éclair’s had been progressing the whole time.

“The heat symptoms get worse with each passing day. There’s no way you’re fine, right?”

“…Tch.”

The arms she had crossed tightened, her knuckles turning white. For just a moment, her tough attitude seemed to crack—or at least, that’s what it looked like.

“…U-unfortunately for you, I’m completely fine as you can see. If you’re hoping to put your hands on me next, sorry to disappoint.”

“Th-that’s not what I meant… I’m just worried…”

“Ugh, shut up!”

BANG! Éclair slammed the table and stood up.

“Even if I accept your whole ‘body fluids cure curses’ thing, I’m never relying on such a filthy method! I’ll find another way, I swear it!”

“Wait, Éclair…”

“Shut up, shut up! Sis is in on this with him anyway! I don’t need anyone’s help! I’m not even in heat!”

Her cat ears stood straight up as she pointed directly at me.

“You got that? Now get the hell out! You perverted monkey!”

Vol 2 Chapter 16 – Getting Excited Over a Guy’s Scent Like That…♡【Vol 2: The Cat-Eared Girl, Eclair】

I was practically chased out the front door before Milfy let out a heavy sigh.

“Sorry, Theo. You came all this way, and she just had to be so stubborn.”

“No, really, don’t worry about it.”

I understood Eclair’s feelings. From her perspective, I was basically the enemy.

“But Eclair seemed fine physically, didn’t she? Maybe the symptoms really aren’t that severe, like she said…”

“Hmm, I don’t think so, but… let’s try again another day.”

“All right. …Oh.”

“What’s wrong?”

“Sorry. I left my canteen on the table inside.”

“Then let’s go back together?”

“No, I can manage alone. Please wait here.”

I gave a light bow and opened the front door again.

Eclair had retreated to a back room, so the hallway was empty.

“Excuse me, I forgot something…Eclair?”

I called out, but there was no response.

She didn’t fall asleep… I hope.

I’d left my canteen in the living room. I walked straight down the hallway and stopped at the door—

…Huh?

A faint sound came from beyond the door.

“…Mm… ahh…”

I strained to listen. There was no doubt about it. It was Eclair’s voice.

“Mm… haa, haah…”

Her breathing was hot and strained, escaping in labored gasps.

A chill ran down my spine.

Could it be…a heart attack or something?!

Powerful curses can sometimes erode the body from within. Maybe she’d been putting on a brave face, and her limit had finally come.

This is bad! I have to help her!

There was no time to hesitate. I grabbed the doorknob and pushed the door open forcefully.

“Eclair! Are you—”

My voice died in my throat. The scene that spread before me as the door swung open made my breath catch.

“Haa…y-yeah… aahhh♡”

Eclair was seated in a chair in the living room. Her legs were spread wide, her white tunic hiked up around her waist. Her left hand pressed against her chest while her right hand was thrust deep into her hot pants, her fingers visibly squirming beneath the fabric.

“Ah, ah, ahh♡ Y-yeah… it’s hot, it’s so hot down there♡”

Gone was every trace of her earlier bravado. Her face was flushed crimson, her eyes glazed and unfocused. She didn’t seem to notice me standing right in front of her at all.

Uh… w-what…

I stood there in shock as she continued to moan, drowning in her own heat.

“Why… why is my body reacting like this just from a guy’s scent…♡”

Ragged breathing. Furrowed brows. She was clearly fighting against the desire welling up from deep within her—but her hand wouldn’t stop moving.

“Getting excited over that guy’s scent like that…♡ I can’t… this can’t be right♡ But every day, every single day♡ It’s driving me crazy♡”

Her shoulders trembled and tears threatened at the corners of her eyes as she panted. Then her eyes suddenly met mine.

Time stopped.

Our gazes locked. Just that simple act froze the entire world.

Her legs stayed spread. Her mouth stayed open. And down below, everything remained exposed.

Eclair went rigid like a statue.

“Uh… um… well…”

I moved my mouth like a rusty automaton.
