Vol 2 Chapter 30 – Theo Is Mine!【Vol 2: The Cat-Eared Girl, Eclair】

“—I see. So the ‘treatment’ went well?”

When Milfy asked, Éclair fidgeted, looked away, and nodded with her face flushed red.

“Y-yeah. For the most part… I guess.”

“Hehe, that’s wonderful.”

“D-don’t celebrate too soon! The curse marks are still mostly there, and it’ll be a long time before they’re fully removed…”

“Oh, that’s not what I meant. I’m happy that you and Theo came together.”

“Wha?! Wh-what are you saying, Mil-sis?! It’s not like that! That was just treatment! Nothing more, nothing less!”

Éclair flailed her ears and tail frantically, desperately denying it.

Milfy placed a finger on her cheek with exaggerated innocence and tilted her head.

“Really? I thought for sure you two had started dating.”

“Grrrrr! D-don’t say such stupid things! That’s like a dream come true… I mean, that’s not it! Ugh, you say something too, Theo!”

“Uh, what…?”

I could only stand there confused at this sudden attack.

“Even if you say that…”

The morning after that passionate night.

When I woke up, what I saw was Éclair, trembling as she looked down at my naked body.

The moment she realized I was in the same bed, she panicked and nearly clawed me.

What was I supposed to say after experiencing such mortal danger?

“So, what about it, Theo?”

“Well… I don’t really understand either… but last night, I saw an unexpected side of her.”

“Hey! What are you bringing that up for, you idiot Theo!”

“Huh? But last night, you said, ‘I love you, I love you, I love you so much ♡’…”

“Nyaaaaaaah! Say one more word and I’ll claw you, you perverted monkey! Don’t take that seriously!”

Éclair’s face turned bright red as she barked at me.

“Th-that was just something I blurted out in the heat of the moment! Like a drunk person—it’s not real! Not at all! Not even a little bit serious!”

“O-oh, I see…”

Well, even Milfy was like a completely different person when she was in heat.

It wouldn’t be strange for someone to say things contrary to their true feelings.

I was a little happy to hear her say she loved me… but I guess that’s disappointing.

Next to me, Milfy let out a deep sigh.

“Haah… two steps forward, three steps back, I suppose.”

What does that mean?

“…Actually, more importantly, you two.”

“What is it?”

“What?”

“Could you… let go of me?”

With both my arms held captive by the two of them, I let out a pained voice.

That’s right—for a while now, the two of them have been clinging tightly to my sides, gripping my arms and refusing to let go.

Milfy gently hugged my left arm while Éclair yanked on my right.

And we’re in the middle of a crowded marketplace.

We came here to continue the shopping we’d interrupted yesterday…

The afternoon marketplace was full of people’s chatter and savory smells.

Naturally, walking through such a place flanked by two beautiful women would—

“Hey, isn’t that Milfy?”

“Wow, she’s gorgeous!”

“The other girl’s super cute too…”

“Who’s that plain-looking guy between them?”

“Being sandwiched between two beauties like that… so jealous…!”

Yeah, this is what happens.

“Um, the stares are killing me, so could you let go…”

“See? You should let go, Éclair.”

“M-Mil-sis should let go first!”

“But it’s better balanced this way, right? If you pull on Theo, he might fall over.”

“That’s not true!”

“Then what about you, Éclair?”

“I-I’m just… making sure Theo doesn’t run away!”

“Run away? Why would he?”

“W-well… because he wouldn’t know where to look! Like at Mil-sis’s chest!”

“H-hey, Éclair?! Don’t make me sound like a pervert!”

“Sh-shut up! Anyway, I’m keeping an eye on Theo!”

Éclair gritted her teeth while Milfy wore a relaxed smile.

The scene looked just like an older sister teasing her cute younger sister.

Milfy’s definitely doing this on purpose…

“Hey, Theo?”

“Y-yes?”

Milfy leaned close to my ear and whispered—quietly, but clearly loud enough for Éclair to hear.

“How about tonight, after a while, you and I… do it? Curse removal aside ♡”

“Huh?”

“N-no way!”

Immediately, Éclair’s cat tail bristled.

“My curse removal isn’t done yet! Until it’s all finished, Theo is mine! We have to keep doing naughty things together, lots and lots more!”

That shout echoed magnificently throughout the entire marketplace.

Murmur. The crowd stirred.

All eyes turned toward us at once.

“Wait, Éclair…”

“Ah…!”

The moment she realized what she’d just said, Éclair’s face turned bright red.

Her ears and tail stood straight up, trembling violently.

“Oh my…”

Even Milfy could only manage a wry smile.

“Lots more naughty things…”

“That cute girl and the kid next to her…?”

“Youth is wonderful, isn’t it~”

Such comments flew at us from all around the marketplace.

Éclair’s face turned as red as a tomato, and then—

“N-noooooo!”

She took off running at tremendous speed, racing back the way we came.

“Wait, Éclair! What about the shopping?!”

My shout was in vain as her figure quickly disappeared beyond the crowd.

“Oh my, how troublesome.”

“Milfy, you went too far with that joke!”

“Huh? I was half serious though.”

“Th-that’s why…!”

“Hehe. Please continue to look after Éclair. Curse Breaker ♡”

Milfy smiled brightly.

I looked up at the sky with a wry smile.

The clear autumn sky stretched out above, as if it were laughing.

And so—my naughty curse-breaking life shows no signs of ending anytime soon.
