"Kyaaah!"
Nozomi immediately turned around and saw a blonde girl rubbing her eyes on the ground.
"Are you okay?" Nozomi asked politely as she offered her hand to the blonde.
The blonde stood up and replied coldly "can't your hair keep still? I got hit by it."
"Oh. I'm sorry about that. Say, maybe we can go to our class together?" Nozomi asked, ignoring the blonde's cold tone.
The blonde just huffed and walked away.
"Hmmm...she seems interesting." Nozomi thought as she giggled to herself on the way to her classroom.
Nozomi went to the science lab after school and did some mixing.
The blonde saw her and she stared at her for awhile and suddenly rain fell from the sky.
"Guess more research for me." Nozomi said to herself cheerfully as she glanced at the window.
Nozomi caught the blonde from before staring at her and the blonde immediately averted her eyes and ran away and Nozomi followed her and called "hey! It's not safe for you to go out without an umbrella!"
The blonde stopped running and sighed deeply.
"You can stay with me for awhile until the rain stops." Nozomi said with a warm smile on her face that made the blonde roll her eyes and scoffed "s-sure. It's not like I want to but just to keep me from getting a cold."
Nozomi chuckled and went back to the science laboratory and the blonde followed her.
"So, what's your name?" Nozomi asked as she continued her experiment.
"Aren't we in the same class? You didn't listen to my introduction in class, did you?" The blonde replied coldly with a glare.
Nozomi laughed nervously and said shyly "I was spacing out at that time…"
The blonde rolled her eyes and said with a cold reply "the name is Ayase Eli. I'm from a foreign country which is Germany."
Nozomi smiled at her and introduced herself "I'm No-"
"Save it. I know who you are since I pay attention." Eli scoffed as she stared at what Nozomi was doing.
"Hmmm? Alright then. What's my name?" Nozomi challenged with a devilish smirk on her face.
"You're Toujou Nozomi and aren't you forbidden to use the laboratory after class?" Eli asked curiously.
"Well, no one's around so…"
Eli widened her eyes and asked "you're using this room without permission?"
"Obviously." Nozomi said as she stirred the red liquid until it turned into blue.
"What are you even making?" Eli asked curiously.
"I don't know...actually." Nozomi said as she placed the beaker down.
Nozomi stared at Eli and Eli asked coldly "what are you staring at?"
"Hmmm….aha. Ericchi! That's what I'll call you!" Nozomi said as she hugged Eli tightly.
"H-hey! What's with the nickname? And don't hug me." Eli groaned as she pushed Nozomi away.
Nozomi lets her go and chuckled.
"Ericchi, let's be friends."
Eli rolled her eyes and said "no way. And stop calling me that."
Eli stood up and Nozomi tried to chase her around the laboratory.
"Toujou-san, please stop chasing me." Eli said sternly but Nozomi ignored her and continued chasing her until she accidentally made the liquid she made spill on Eli's uniform.
"Ericchi, I'm so sorry." Nozomi said as she quickly took out tissues and tried to wipe it off but Eli said "it's fine. I'll just change."
Eli took Nozomi's tissues and tried her best to wipe off the liquid.
"Say, you can just call me Nozomi. I insist." Nozomi said with a smile.
Eli glared at her and said with a flustered tone "um...could you please go outside for a minute?"
"Say the magic word, Ericchi."
"I hate you." Eli mumbled and Nozomi teased her more.
"What was that?"
"Please...N-Nozomi." Eli said hiding her blushed face.
Nozomi nodded and left and said on the way out, "it wasn't that hard, Elicchi."
Eli slowly unbuttoned her blouse and Nozomi suddenly entered,
"I am so bored!"
"Ahh! Nozomi! I told you to get out!"
Nozomi looked at the blonde who was flustered while covering her chest.
Nozomi blushed and said "we're all girls here, Elicchi. So...it's fine and you actually have a nice figure."
The sky slowly became sunny and Eli buttoned herself up and ran away.
"Ericchi, wait!" Nozomi said as she grabbed her bag and chased after her.
"Stop following me! I'm not a fun person to be with." Eli said as she began to run faster.
"Who cares? I just think you're interesting." Nozomi said and Eli stopped and turned around and faced the purple haired girl who was catching her breath.
"Me? Interesting? I don't think so." Eli said as she walked out of the school building.
"Ericchi!"
Eli felt Nozomi's grip on her arms and she was clinging on to her.
"Nozomi, what are you doing?" Eli groaned as she tried to free herself from Nozomi's grip.
"I told you...I want to be your friend." Nozomi said as she didn't let Eli's arm go.
Eli stared at Nozomi's turquoise colored eyes and can see her determination.
"Why do you want to be friends with someone like me? Eli asked curiously.
Nozomi loosened her grip and said "because...we're both the same."
"You? Me? The same? You have got to be kidding me." Eli scoffed as she walked away, leaving Nozomi alone all by herself.
….
At the middle of the night…
Eli was just finished changing in to her pajamas when all of a sudden she was surprised of what she saw in the mirror.
"A-a tail?!"
Eli was shocked but at the same time angry at a certain purple haired girl.
Eli tried to find a way to contact Nozomi when she got to her bag she found a piece of paper that said:
"Here's my number Ericchi. If there are any effects of the potion that I made. It's kinda new."
And at the bottom there was Nozomi's number. Eli contacted her immediately and Nozomi answered.
"Ah. I see you found my little note. So, are you fine or...do you just miss me?"
"Enough with your games, Nozomi and just come to my house!"
Eli heard Nozomi chuckle and huffed "I mean it. And don't get any ideas."
After that, Eli hung up and Nozomi immediately grabbed her lab coat and wore it and left her home.
In 15 minutes, Nozomi arrived at Eli's house.
"Ericchi! I'm here! It's me Nozomi!" Nozomi called out and Eli opened her window and signalled her to come in.
Nozomi entered and went to Eli's room.
"Ericchi, what seems to be the pro-oh...I see what it is."
"How can you be so calm at the situation? Your experiment or whatever made me grow a fox tail! So turn me back." Eli said sternly and Nozomi stroked the tail.
Eli jumped at the sensation and moved her tail away from Nozomi.
"D-don't do that. Please." Eli said, a little flustered as she looked away from Nozomi.
Nozomi thought it was a cute sight to see this side of Eli.
"Fine. But I'll do my best to do the antidote." Nozomi said as she saw that Eli grew fox ears.
"Nozomi, is there something wrong?" Eli asked with a curious tone and as she turned around to look at the mirror she widened her eyes and asked Nozomi "Nozomi, what exactly is happening to me?"
Nozomi squealed at Eli's cuteness and patted her on the head and gently rubbed her fox ears and it made Eli shiver.
"N-Nozomi…" Eli groaned as she stood up hiding her blushed face.
"Sorry, Ericchi but you're just so adorable." Nozomi said with a playful smile.
"Maybe it will all be better in the morning." Nozomi added.
"You better be right, Nozomi…" Eli sighed as she sat down on her bed.
After a moment of silence Nozomi decided to speak,
"So...are we good now?"
"Yeah. You should probably work on the antidote or something." Eli said as she rested her body.
"No. I meant, you can now rest while I observe you." Nozomi corrected.
"You're staying here?!" Eli asked
Nozomi tried to find some futons and said "well, yeah. How am I supposed to observe you?"
"If you want me to make an antidote then, please just trust me."
Nozomi had pleading eyes that Eli couldn't say no.
"F-fine. Just don't do anything weird." Eli scoffed as she covered herself with a blanket.
"I can't promise you that." Nozomi said quietly along with a giggle.
'Ericchi looks cute with her tail sticking out." Nozomi thought as she laid out the futon and watched Eli sleep.
