Chapter 8
Kotarou woke up with Orchard lying next to him. At first it scared him, but after realizing what happened the day before, he really didn't care. He brushed his hands against her cheek, and slowly, she woke up.
"We both slept late." Kotarou whispered.
"I fell asleep after you." She replied. She smiled and pulled him close.
"Kotarou, I love you."
"But you barely know me…"
"I can tell the future, you know." Orchard sighed, "And I can tell that you are going to get so well with me."
Kotarou thought about what she had said. "Going to get so well?"
Orchard sat up. She had a motherly expression on her face. "Humans are diseased."
Kotarou laughed. How silly she is…
Orchard looked him dead in the eye. "Even you are."
Kotarou shivered. "How?"
"We Mist Demons are the only ones who can help you… and in order to help you, like I said earlier, we need to recharge to stay on the planet."
"I said, how?"
"It's confidential. I can't tell you. Sorry. I shouldn't have said anything in the first place." Orchard rose from the bed. Slowly, she undressed, without any shame or embarrassment, in front of him. Although she looked human, and her body was relatively human, she didn't care. She walked back up to Kotarou and asked, "May I borrow some clothes…? Mine aren't… human-like. Maybe later I can buy some." She held out her hands in a cup-like position, and 500,000¥ suddenly appeared. She grasped it and put it on the table.
"How'd… you… do that?!" Kotarou asked in amazement.
"I'll tell you when you give me some clothes." She winked.
Kotarou listened to her orders and got up from the couch. He pointed out which drawers were which, and told her to pick them out herself, for he didn't want to force anything upon her. He told her he would be back, and he left the room.
Orchard took out a white nightgown. Kotarou must've wore it with shorts, but she couldn't find a pair. She slipped it on and waited on the bed. She suddenly forgot about underwear, so she looked through the drawers for a pair and slipped them on underneath. She returned to the bed and waited patiently.
Suddenly, the door opened. Kotarou saw her in his nightgown and blushed. "So, are you going to tell me how you do that money trick?"
"Humans can't do it anyway, so nah."
"I can't wait to go shopping with you, though. I want you to pick out some things with me. It'll be so much fun! Better than Kannni."
"Kannni?"
"What I did with the money before. But hey, want me to show you something?"
Kotarou nodded. Orchard clasped her hands together and brought them up in the air. Suddenly, Kotarou's pants flew down.
"HEY!" Kotarou yelped, jokingly.
Kotarou shoved Orchard onto the bed even more.
"Recharge?"
