Ok, here it is, the next chapter!

Thanks for reviews/ comment/faves and follows!

Thanks to Crimson for the Edits!

Hope you can enjoy this!


Yesterday was quite troublesome,

Can you believe that we ended up chasing the two Wish makers around this house?

Many of my father's workers thought that we're playing hide and seek together. Though what makes me wonder is… how could they act like Nozomi and Eli were not suspicious?

They should've realized that the two never entered this house.

Perhaps it's because Kotori was with us that time?

And anyway….

I just realized Umi's weakness is something lewd. She gets all panicked and unstable—though she also could fall unconscious.

Heh—not that I want to abuse it. I don't want to get in trouble later.

Being with Niko is also… somewhat… fun…

I wish I could meet her again… or maybe… everyday?

For what occasion though…?

I wonder if Eli could grant me that wish…

But then, she hasn't acknowledged my music for something to pay her with. I still owe her two songs…and that was just a wish for her to dress herself up and the other one is a wish for her to stick around with me.

Those are ridiculous wishes, I know. It can't be helped though. We are sort of in need to keep them under control.

It was insane…

Those two were acting like they're in a jungle or something.

Parading their lust around— showing their might and wit….

It's like they have never cared for what people will say about them.

But come to think of it, perhaps it is a best way to live after all.

To live like you're in an eternal solitude…

Listening to the breezy wind and grasses,

Or perhaps the song of nature that could soothe any pain…

It must be great.

But…

Eh….

We are human beings. Not animals. We live together as a social being. We are born to live side by side…

Only stupid people would that think they could live by themselves.

I'm aware that I might be one of them…

Because…

I do have a thought to never trust anyone…

That's before I met those people anyway…

They seem ok.

Maybe they're having a hard time expressing their feelings like me and started to act like that?

Heh—maybe I only can apply that to that Niko, or so my delusion says.

But…am I really just imagining it?

I mean…whenever that Niko talks, it feels like her voice tells me that she cares a lot about me.

Why do I feel like I'm the younger one?

I'm the older one, right? She is just a 10 year old?

I don't believe she is older than me…

And I won't embarrass myself to trust that—especially from her looks, who wouldn't judge her as a little kid?

Uh…anyhow, why am I thinking about her again?

It's not like I don't have anything better to do.

Because, to tell the truth,

It's been bothering me that my mind has been thinking of nothing but her…

Urgh… I'm repeating myself.

What the hell is wrong with me?

Sigh.

I need to think of something else…

Like…

How to tame this fox-lady?

She has been doing nothing but snuggling her own tail….

I can't even tell her to do anything… and the way she scratches her own bollocks really disturbs me.

I know it was my fault to not ask Niko—but then it was also Niko's fault for not telling me! Not like I would not mind if I got a male— I was hoping for a cool girl, not a wild fox who doesn't even appreciate my music!

"Hey…." I called her.

She turns her eyes towards me,

"What kind of music do you like…?" I asked.

She turned away from me—she is ignoring me!

"H-Hey! Don't you ignore me!" I yelled.

She remained quiet for a moment, and then she sighed at me,

"A music that could make me listen, a music that could make me want to listen…" she said.

Huh?

Make her listen and to make her want to listen?

Aren't they the same thing?

Or maybe it's not?

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"I have never heard music that makes me listen, or want to listen. If you really want to pay me with it, then you will have to play music that makes me do so…"

"Ridiculous, you just listen to music—you don't have the choice… If I play my music…."

"Listening and hearing aren't the same things…." She cuts in.

"I don't get it…." I said.

"Too dense to get the idea, huh? Then let me tell you— I might hear your music, but I might not be able to enjoy it. A music that I want is a music that I can enjoy—in other words, a music that I listen to… get it?"

"But music is music, they are made and they are an expression. You cannot tell me that music has no meaning!" I said.

"You clearly have never seen anyone who plays music just for the sake of making sound…" she said as she fix her todger position under her Hakama.

"There's something like that?" I asked,

She sighed at me,

"Trust me; the previous person who often played music totally hurt my ears. He played just for the sake of it… he doesn't have any expression in his tone and yet people are praising him. That's a total joke…" she smirked,

"Plus the fact that my ears are better than you humans…" she continued.

"I'm glad he is gone… if I happened to be this big before he died—I could've gone to bite his head off…" she continued again,

That's extreme…

"Heh—anyway, you've never heard me play! So I'm going to show you that I can play and I can make you listen to me!" I said proudly.

"Meh…." She rolled her eyes.

I'll really show her, damn it!


I dragged her to the hall,

Because She refused to move on her own and guess what? She doesn't even try to retort.

"Keep your ears open—I'll make you listen!" I said.

She exhaled heavily.

Hmmph…

Anyway

I started with a play of etude to check the accuracy of each notes.

Then…

I started to play a song that I have made long ago.

It's a song that I made out of my loneliness.

A song that I made at the time after my father started to be strict and merciless towards me.

To tell you the truth behind it,

I was too excited over the outer world and began to wander around almost everywhere, then…. Something happened and I couldn't really remember how it went, but I just know that the next day—he took away my freedom.

He made me regret that I ever knew how great freedom is.

I'm sure that I would've been better off ignorant
Holding such pain in my chest,
I smiled each day, not saying a word about it
and told myself to forget.

I shut away my memories….

Heartbreak!

With this clichéd sadness and clichéd pain,
I barely hold back tears and watch the stars
They shine brighter than usual, and seem to fall
As they quietly illuminate me...

And at the end of the song, I turn my gaze towards her. I can see her eyes look bright and her ears perked up as if she acknowledged my skill.

She lift herself up and started to sit on the floor—like how a human does.

"Not bad…." She said.

"Hah… so you do listen to my music!" I said.

She chuckled,

"I could sing it better than you…"

"Huh?"

She pulled out a music instrument out of her hakama— it's a guitar!

Geez!

Then she started the song immediately,

I….

I can't believe this!

Wh-What the hell?

She knows how to play a music instrument?

But…

She was a fox, right?

Then….

Uh… what surprises me more is...

She actually knows how to sing as well!

And her voice fits the song better than mine!

W…wow….

I….mean like…

WOW…

A big…big….wow….

She has…

A talent….

And as she ended the song…

I…I think I'm getting touched by how much her feeling reached into the song. She also knows how to put her feelings into the song….

I'm amazed…

I…I don't know what else to say to her…

She is….

Urgh..how do I put it….

"So…. Are you going to tell me that you will pay me with the song that you just sang and turns out I can do better than you?" she smiled proudly,

Urgh….

Right…

So that means that she did not value it…

"I….I'll come up with a better song…" I said.

She chuckled,

"Show me what you got, will you?" she smiled before she put back her guitar inside her hakama and it just suddenly disappeared.

I clenched my fist as I stare into my piano.

I don't know what to come up with now.

"Anyway…since you've tried…" she said.

I turn my eyes to her,

"Do you have any wish?" she asked.

"Huh?" I tilt my head, flustered.

"What? You don't want any wish?" she asked.

"No..it's just that.. I thought you will want a payment…." I said.

"Oh—come on, you're still a kid. Do you think I'll be cruel to you?" she smiled at me somewhat gently.

I'm not a kid…. But…

Maybe I am compared to her…

"Then…" I paused for a moment to think again about this wish….

"I wish I can go out every day…." I said.

"Wish granted… you'll be free to go anywhere you want and on any day…."


So by the time I asked for that wish,

I was able to go out from house like no one was going to stop me. Umi—who was told to guard me was letting me to go out too. Even if I tried to go to where my father works…

He suddenly told me to just go out and play all I want, though he still warns me to return home by dinner time. By then, our family always hangs out together…and I wouldn't want to miss that moment too. To be honest though, lately, papa always has been returning late because of the outbreaks that's keeping him at work. I wonder about that outbreak sometimes, but I never cared anyway. None of my business….

It's not like I can do—….

Wait a minute…

Maybe I can do something….

I turn my eyes to Eli who has been following me around.

"Hey…Eli…" I called her.

"Hmm?" she replied as her ears flapped,

Uh…that's pretty cute.

"Do you think you can do something about the outbreaks?" I asked.

"You have to be more specific…" she replied.

"Huh? Well…if I said, I wish the outbreaks were gone?"

"Like I said before… you have to be more specific. You need to tell me what exactly you're talking about. What outbreaks and how do you want it to happen…" she said.

"Huh? Well… that's troublesome…" I said.

"Wish makers are made to grant your wish, but you have to remember that we don't own this world…plus, the fact that you're not paying me with what is precious to you right now… you can't simply make a wish and make it happen…"

"So…I have to do…what?" I asked,

"To know what exactly you're wishing for…"

"I don't get it…" I said.

She sighed at me,

"To put it simply, Maki…" she paused for a moment,

"I can grant your wish about the outbreaks, but you don't even know what caused it and what exactly the outbreak is… so…even if I do that right now, it will appear again later and your wish will be abolished… then you may have to owe me more than you should have…."

Oh…

So she was trying to make me think of exactly what I want wish for…

"Then, if I wish for people to not get sick?" I asked.

"Then your father loses his job…" she replied.

Ghgh….

Good point…

"….and there will be population overload…" she added again.

Argh… that too…

"Think of what you want to wish for, ok?" she said with a concerned look in her eyes.

But…come to think of it though

She is a kind person…

She is not as annoying as she looks.

I mean, just look at how she warned me about those things. I wouldn't have thought about it before she told me.

"Then...perhaps, I can wish to be able to understand what caused it?" I asked.

Eli sighed at me again,

"What about…instead of wasting my power to grant your wish—you go work that out and decide what you really want?" she said.

Eh….? What?

Work that out?

"Look, you're a human being, right? You are given a decent wit so that you can understand your surroundings…you have legs to move and hands to work. If you waste those— you're better off disabled…" she said.

Hmm…. well…

True….

But...

"Wait… I don't get it… isn't the point of a wish maker to make me do less work." I said.

Then she sighed at me again,

"Just…. how should I explain to you about what I really mean?"

I still don't get it.


She took me out and told me to stand in the marketplace,

doing nothing but looking at the sky. The crowds around me are busy on their own. Eli stood behind me, doing nothing but staring at me, apparently she could make herself unseen by the common people.

What's the point of doing this though?

"Hey, can I go somewhere already? I'm bored…" I said.

I waited for a moment, yet Eli didn't respond to me.

"Just tell me what—…" and suddenly, someone hits my butt.

I quickly turned around, and then I caught a glimpse of a girl with short orange hair, wearing a dark green hakama.

"What the hell was that…" I mumbled,

"Check your wallet…" Eli said.

I quickly did as she said and—

Hey! It's gone!

"W-what the hell?"

"So… what are you going to say now?"

"She took my wallet! I want it back!" I said clearly,

"How?" Eli asked to me,

"By…taking it off her of course! That was mine!" I said.

"Be more specific, what do you want to do?" she asked.

This is annoying.

"G-Gh! I wish you took me to her place right now so I can get my wallet back!" I said clearly.

"As your wish…"

So…

Well…


She teleported me to a place...

I stood right in front of a wooden gate. There is no one right here now, but I could feel like someone is watching me. Did she literally take me to that girl's place?

"Hey… this is not what I meant…" I said.

Eli remained quiet as she stood next to me,

"What I mean is, you took me to where she—…"

And before I finished, I could see the orange haired girl walking to approach this place…

"N-Nyaa?!" the orange haired girl seems to be astounded as she looked at me.

"Hey! You! Give me back my wallet!" I yelled,

"Nya—who do you think you are to be in this place-nya?" she replied.

"I don't care—just give me back my wallet! That's mine and you shouldn't have taken it!" I said.

Then she smiled at me,

"Kayo-chin! I wish she disappeared from this world-nya!" she said clearly as she pointed at me so boldly.

Then suddenly a calm and gentle looking woman with short brown hair appeared behind her, she has a pair of deer ears and wearing a pure-looking kimono.

"As your wish…." The woman said before she created some kind of bright light and about to cast it to me.

"Hurry up, wish something before you're gone…" Eli said.

"E-Eh?! Well…then… I wish I exist…?"

"You cannot wish for what you already are now…" Eli said.

"W-what? Then… just protect me from that spell!" I said.

Then before the bright light could touch me, I could see it get blocked by a transparent blue shield.

That orange haired girl looked surprised,

"K-Kayo-chin! I wish you reveal that Wish maker-nya!"

Then I could see a fast light blast my surroundings, I could see Eli trying to cover herself. The orange haired girl looking at her with eyes wide open,

"N-Nyaa?!"

"W-whoa?!" The woman with short brown hair also looks surprised.

Then the orange haired girl frowned,

"This is our chance-nya!" she said before she took out a pair of knife out of her hakama. Then she quickly dashed toward me.

I swear—I couldn't even see where she was but….

Eli quickly stood right in front of me; the quick clash made me close my eyes in reflex, after few seconds of not hearing any sound, I opened my eyes as I heard the knife parried with something hard and sturdy.

I hope it's not that thing she has between her legs.

That was her sword, right?

The same sword that Umi made?

"Kayo-chin! I wish you kill that red haired girl!" the orange haired girl quickly said.

I'm in trouble.

I can't wish Eli to protect me because she already did.

Then maybe I can wish for….

"Eli! I wish you give me a power to protect myself!" I said quickly before somehow I was able to figure out that I had to jump away before that short haired woman blasted something upon us.

Then as smoke surrounded the area,

For some reason, I started to be able to feel and hear something coming up at me. I quickly crouched down before the orange haired girl dashed with both knives, slashing to where I was.

That was close, damn it.

Just as I thought I was safe, the woman with short brown hair casted something on me. Roots were coming out from the ground and tangled me to the ground—then it started to squeeze me so hard.

"Eli! Help!" I shouted.

In an instant the roots suddenly turned into ashes before Eli decided to grab me and take me away in her arms.

"Kayo-chin! I wish you to—…"

"Eli! I wish you to silence her!" I said quickly before she managed to finish wishing.

Then suddenly the orange haired girl lost her voice, though her Wish maker was still after my life.

"Eli! I wish you to make her stop!"

And the woman actually just stopped in mid-air.

"Not bad…" Eli complimented.

"Heh—what was that for, though…" I said.

"It's not over yet, by the way…." Eli said—and before I realized it, the orange haired girl sprint forward, about to slit my throat— I quickly crouched again, though before I realize it, she slashes the knife on my back.

That was…

Painful as hell.

I have never experienced this kind of thing.

But now that I know it's not going to be over before she stops moving,

"Eli! I wish you to disable her!" I said clearly,

The orange haired girl suddenly fell on her knee and when she tried to hold herself with her hands, she couldn't do it.

Urgh…

What a pain…

Sigh…

"Heal me…." I said as I tried to compose my breath.

I never knew that it was somewhat tiring to do this.

It was actually fun though…

After Eli healed me and she sheathed— thank god that it turn out to be her sword not her todger.

"What a problem…." I said.

"You're a quick thinker, I like that…" Eli said.

"Heh—that's nothing…" I said.

"Now what are you going to do next?" she asked,

"Going to look for my wallet, of course…" I said.

"Then go on…" Eli said as she gestured to the orange haired girl who couldn't even move from the ground.

I was about to look for my wallet from her…

But….

That means I will have to touch her, right?

This going to be embarrassing…

"E…Eli…I wish—…"

"Look for it yourself, you can do that… stop wasting my power…." she said.

Sigh…

Fine…

I began to look for the wallet from her…

Then I just realized that she held a lot of knives in behind her hakama, I even found something that looks like… uh… a star?"

"Those are shurikens…" Eli said as I held it.

"What is this for…?" I asked.

"You can throw that thing…but that's not your focus, right now… look for what you were looking for…" she said.

True…

I started to look for it again.

After a while, I finally found my wallet, taking it back from the other girl, I walked back towards Eli.

"Done…" I said.

"….what are you going to do next?" she asked.

"Go home?" I replied.

Eli remained quiet for a moment,

"Alright… I guess you're cold enough to leave them here after you took away their freedom…" she said with an emphasis on the word 'freedom'.

Now…that makes me feel somewhat bad.

I turned back to them,

"But…if I let them go, then…. they will start doing what they were doing?" I said.

She sighed at me,

"Think of something, will you?"

Well..alright….

Let's see if this works….

"Hey… you… I'm going to let you live normally, but don't ever try to bother me again, ok?" I said.

She couldn't respond….

Of course because I silenced her and her position on the ground doesn't seem to be giving her any chance to say something with a gesture–I disabled her after all.

"Eli, cure them…" I said.

Eli claps her hands and they started to move normally again.

The woman with short brown hair seems to be quiet while the orange haired girl tried to breath.

"Wah…you're clever-nya…." She said.

"Heh—of course, who do you think I am?" I said.

"Hehe— I want to get to know you-nya! I'm Hoshizora Rin!" she said cheerfully.

Hoshizora…..

Did I hear that name before….?

"Heh—I'm…Nishikino Maki…" I said.

"Oooh! You must be from that new rich family who just moved here recently!" she said.

"Yeah…" I said.

She smiled at me sweetly,

"Then… thank you for buying the gold fabric! It means a lot to me!" she said.

"Huh?"

"Yup—I was the one who was selling it… hehe, didn't expect anyone to actually buy that one… but anyway, do you want to come in? Let me greet you properly-nya!"


So…

Rin took me in; she even introduced me to her Wish maker, Koizumi Hanayo. She told me that I can call her Hanayo, but I can't call her Kayo-chin.

Who wants to call her Kayo-chin anyway?

Hanayo is a very shy girl; she doesn't really do anything when she is idle… and she doesn't even look at me.

Then…Eli has been looking really decent as she was sitting very politely next to me.

I'm glad that's not how she does things at home. As you already know... She scratches her bollocks even when she knows I'm around her—or, fixing her todger as she talks to me face to face.

Rin returned with a few bowls of ramen on a tray.

"Hehe…thank you for waiting-nya!" she placed it on the table.

The ramen…..

Smells….

Like….

A dead fish….

This is…

Disgusting!

"Urghg! W-what the hell is this?!" I exclaimed,

"Ramen…"

"I know its ramen! I have seen it somewhere in the marketplace— But I swear it's not this disgusting!" I said.

"E-Ehh?! Maki-chan doesn't like it?"

"Of course I don't! Who likes something like this anyway!" I yelled.

"Weird…everyone in this house loves this…" she said sadly.

I sighed at her.

"I don't care! Just—…" and before I could finish talking, I could see her eyes sparkle. She is…uh…

Cute….

Too…

She is like… a cat?

Well…it does look like she is trying to imitate a cat.

Anyway!

I can't let that cute face beat me.

"Why don't you just wish you can cook well or something… this is clearly a mess… even for me who can't cook…" I said.

"That's a good idea! I've never thought of that before…" she raised her eyebrow. Then she quickly turns to Hanayo,

"Kayo-chin! I wish I can cook well!" she said.

To that Hanayo smiled gently,

"Rin-chan… you don't have enough rice to make that wish…" she said.

"N-Nyaaa!" she grabs her head in frustration.

What the hell…

She pays with rice?

"Hey…you pay your Wish maker with rice?" I asked.

"Yup…" she said.

"Ridiculous, you could get rice at the marketplace…" I said.

"You haven't looked at the price I bet…" Rin said.

"Huh? It's cheap…" I said.

"Maki…not everyone could buy what you can buy…" Eli said.

"Oh—right… I'm…. I'm sorry…. I should've not said something like that…." I replied shyly.

Rin seems to be slightly flustered, I thought she will say something like its fine or something. But….

She laughed instead,

"Maki-chan. you're cute-nya! You must've never hung out with people-nya!"

"H-Huh? How could you say something like that! I have people to talk with!" I said.

She giggled,

"For some reason though, I feel like you're very inexperienced with talking to others! I bet you must be kept at home for too long-nya!" she said.

Ugrh…

Well…

That's true…

But…

"N-Not really! I have been traveling a lot, you know!" I said clearly.

"Ehhh? Isn't your family working in a medical career-nya?" she asked.

H-How does she know?!

"Y-Yes…."

"Why do you move a lot then? Don't they usually stay in one place for a long time-nya?"

"Well…my family was called here… said to deal with an outbreak…"

"ohh…your family must've been getting a lot of acquaintances then-nya!"

"Hah—you mean, a lot of home to stay in? Then I probably can see that…" I said.

Rin raised her eyebrow,

"You don't like living with your family-nya?" she asked.

"Not quite… I was just getting sick of being stuck at home every single day… my father is a really strict person…. And he just let me walk around recently…"

"Hehe, maybe because he knows that you already have a wish maker… and what best is you got Wish maker Ayase Eli's soul! That's lucky of you!"

"What's so lucky about having her?" I asked as I turn my eyes to Eli—who has been silent the whole time.

"Well—first, she is very popular among the Wish makers… because of her ability to grant wishes are better than many! Then… she is also known to be able to share 'food' with Wish maker Toujou Nozomi!"

Toujou Nozomi is Niko's Wish maker!

"W-what do you mean?" I asked.

"Uh…Maki-chan doesn't know? There are a lot of Wish maker's all over this world… and they who own them tend to change their route into a Criminal organization! Because once they own a wish maker, the law will never be able to touch them-nya…"

"I-Is that so?" I asked.

"Yup! That's how it is-nya!" Rin replied cheerfully.

I don't get it…

Just because someone can make wishes, then people start to use it for something like that?

What are they looking for in life?

"….Ayase Eli and Toujou Nozomi are top tier Wish makers! It's hard to find their soul because they are always turning into something else from generations to generations! But they never change their face and hair looks-nya!"

"That's because Nozomi is powerful enough to predict and send suggestions…" Eli said.

"Eh?"

"Never mind me…" Eli said.

We both are quiet as we look at her.

"Toujou Nozomi… she specializes in time magic. She could predict the future and read the past, and we may never know when she does that. She just happens to know things. When she is owned by someone, that someone will automatically have an ability to control the time flow, but they aren't free… it will cost them something—which may depend on what they offer to her…" Hanayo suddenly explained to us.

Eli still seems to be quiet,

I wonder what exactly she is thinking right now; it's really hard to tell what she thinks or how she will respond.

"…and I hope you don't mind if I tell them that Hanayo Koizumi specializes in eating rice…" Eli said.

"E-eehh?! E-Eli-chan! D-Don't tell them about it!" Hanayo said shyly.

"Y-You know each other-nya?" Rin asked.

"Sort of…" Eli said.

"Uh…yeah….sort of…." Hanayo said as she scratches her head shyly, her face is all red.

Suspicious…

"W-waah! Kayo-chin! C-Could you be…. her ex-nya?!"

"H-Huh?! That's never going to be anything like that! I can't possibly be anywhere near that!" Hanayo retorted,

"But…Kayo-chin's face looks red-nya…." Rin said.

"D-Don't think anything like that, Rin-chan! I'll never be that, ok?"

"Ok-nya!" Rin replied cheerfully.

"Hey, tell me, what's your specialty?" I asked to Hanayo.

"M-My specialty?" Hanayo asked.

"Yes…" I replied,

Hanayo remained quiet, and then she looks around,

"I told you… eating rice is her specialty…" Eli said.

"Y-yes! I can eat a bale of rice every day!" Hanayo said.

Then we all remain quiet for a moment….

"I-I mean! That's not my specialty! That's just something I like to do!" Hanayo said in panic.

"I don't get it…" I said.

"What's so special from eating rice… it's not like you can—…."

Wait a minute….

She said…

Eating rice is her specialty…

Could it be….

"W-wait a minute, does that mean, you just need to feed her rice for a wish?" I asked.

"Well..yeah, she did indeed only ask for rice-nya! I haven't got them since the outbreaks caused a lot of farmers to fall sick… we're running out of rice and they're getting more and more expensive…" Rin said.

"Oh…so it doesn't matter what your owner values, you will always eat rice?" I asked.

"Yep!" Hanayo said cheerfully.

Well now I understand that specialty! That is indeed a cheap wish!

"But…the more change you make to the world, the more rice I want!" Hanayo said.

"Oh…."

"So it's not as simple as giving me a bale of rice or anything like that, ok?" Hanayo continued.

"I….I see…."

Now I see where it is troublesome at.

Somehow I started to imagine her asking for a billion bale of rice to make a wish like… conquering the earth? Heh— that will be epic… maybe a bag of rice would become more valuable than a bag of money one day. Then I probably can see a bank of rice or maybe getting gold from a bowl of rice… people will start to carry a bag of rice on their back everywhere….

W-what am I thinking…

That's one absurd idea…

Anyway…

"What about you, Eli? You haven't told me what your specialty is." I said.

"My specialty?" she smiled,

"Yes… your specialty…" I said…

"Well…" she closes her eyes, and then she stood up…

"My specialty is…." she placed her hand behind her own neck…

"Me…." she said as she lashes her blonde hair—then sparkles of light just suddenly appeared around her.

What…

The….

Hell…

Is….

That….

"I'm the clever and cute Elichika—with IQ over a four million score, you cannot be any smarter than I…." she said.

But you clearly look like an idiot now—with all those pink-ish sparkles around you…then the way you tried to make your hakama slightly loose….

Sigh…

Now her hakama just fell off her shoulder…

And…

That…dangling huge and long todger just showed as her lower part of clothes also fell….

Why are you letting it loose…?

Sigh….

"EEEEW!" Rin and Hanayo quickly closed their eyes. Their face is all red.

"E-Eli-chan! Since when did you have that thing between your legs?!" Hanayo exclaimed.

"Ever since someone screwed up with the recipe…" Eli said as she looked at me.

"N-Not my fault! B-but anyway, just… fix your clothes! You're embarrassing me!" I yelled at her.

"What's so embarrassing about this? Nozomi said this looks good—and she also said it also taste good…" Eli said shamelessly as she held her todger.

"Who cares?! She can say anything about that…Just—keep that thing off our eyes!" I yelled again.

"Fine-fine…" she said as she fixed her hakama again and sat back down.

What a pain…

Rin and Hanayo tried to peek before they sighed heavily and dare enough to open their eyes.

But I doubt they will see her the same way…

I just hope this visit doesn't turn awkward…


At the time before night fall,

When the sky turned orange and the bird started to sing a song as they returned back to their homes, we decided to take our leave. Not only because it's almost time for dinner, but also because I don't want to bother them any longer.

Something was really weird about that place is… it's a huge place, yet I didn't see anyone around other than Rin and Hanayo. There's a time where I wonder why they don't start their own farmland, but then perhaps the answer is behind the empty place and the outbreaks.

After that dangling todger incident, I was trying to pry some information about the outbreaks, but Rin said that she doesn't really know what it exactly is. Hanayo also seems to not know, but they said…. people just started to disappear and die—though they will have some kind of a sign that they are sick.

Though, they said, people are starting gain back to health after they went to my father's clinic.

I don't know how my father is doing it, but I guess that's a good thing as it might fix the balance of this place.

I told Eli that I want to walk home calmly with her, she agreed to it and now she is walking next to me.

I know this may be strange, but I think….

I feel like Eli has become a good big sister for me…just in a few days…

She taught me a lot of things today, even though it may not be directly.

I realized that what she wants to tell me is that— because I'm not the only person with a Wish maker…I really-really have to be more specific about my wish. Instead of wasting the fee, I have to find a way to solve my problems for now and for the future. The fight between me and Rin is a good lesson that I will have to prepare myself to counter other's wishes.

"Hey…Eli…" I called her,

She turned her face at me,

"Thank you for today…." I said— feeling somewhat embarrassed by it.

"For what?" she asked.

"For the lesson… and to meet me with her…. I learned plenty of things today…" I said.

"I didn't do anything; you are the one who learned…." She said as she turns her sight away from me again.

I can see a hint of smile in her face…

Heh—I think I smiled too...

I have to say though…

Eli is really a kind person…

But I don't want to tell her that!

I had enough with her dangling todger today!


When I returned home,

Kotori and Umi greeted me nicely. Though Umi was undeniably ready with her sword—and when eyes flicker at Eli….

"Haaaa!" Umi quickly dashed and slashed her sword—it was so close to cut something on Eli's groin, maybe she aimed for her todger? But…why?

"H-Hey! W-what was that for?!" Eli complained.

"I heard from Kotori—you let your thing stand in front of her today….…."

"Huh? It's just a morning wood, I can't do anything about that!" Eli said.

"How dare you ruin her day with that sight? I'll cut it down!" she said.

"W-what?! Hey—!" Eli quickly dodged before Umi took another attempt to attack.

Then the two started to run around the house. Umi is aggressive today too….

Sigh….

Well… at least it kind of makes this house feel a lot more lively…

But… seriously though…

"Kotori, did you mind that?" I asked.

"Hhnngg… actually….i saw her thing stand this morning when she was asleep, I was a little scared that she is after me with that thing…..especially after she opened her eyes and looked at me…."

"That's actually just something that naturally happens, you know… even women get an erection at that moment… it's not because she is horny or anything…" I said.

"Oh…. I…I didn't know… maybe it just looks disturbing because her thing is so big and long…it almost looks like a powerful spear that many warriors have used…"

"I see… then I guess you should prepare one room for her next time, don't let her sleep on the sofa again…."

"O-Ok! Maki-chan! Then…uh… uhm…. I think I have to apologize later, Umi-chan got the wrong idea…"

Sigh….

"You should do that now before she actually cuts it down…."

What a troublesome bunch of people….

Now I wonder how Niko is doing with her Wish maker.


Ok, see you next chapter again!
