"Eh…"
Naho thought out loud, scratching the cat-like ears that have sprouted on her head. It was the same, bluish-gray colour as her hair. The tail was the same - but had a white tip.
"I am not going to school like this."
She went back to her desk, her newly-discovered tail swishing back and forth. Grabbing a small book from one of the piles stacked on the floor, she began to read.
The story was about a lost dragon, and a small Viking girl taking care of it. The dragon had dark azure eyes, with a red tint to it's maroon scales. The shade of maroon was quite similar to the Paulownia blazer's colour.
Although, Naho's rushed reading session was interrupted by a knock on the door.
She sighed, carefully leaving the book open on her desk. She stepped towards the door, opening it - and as some sort of punishment, she accidentally forgot to cover up her cat-like features.
"Naho-tan! Why didn't you come to school todaahhheeehhhh?!"
Sayaka yelled, startling Naho considerably.
"I didn't want to be humilated like this. Sayaka, do y-"
"Humilated?! You're so cute! I can't even-"
"Just come inside already."
Naho dragged Sayaka into her room.
"Waaahh, you're so cute…!"
Naho ignored the sudden outbursts of 'fangirling' that Sayaka was experiencing, and carried on reading her book.
As the story progressed, the Viking girl was able to ride the dragon and protect the village from all of the goblins.
Naho thought this was a pretty childish book, but she still insisted on reading until the end.
But…
"Naho-tan, your tail is moving!" Sayaka pointed out. "Can I touch it?"
"Absolutely not." Naho denied.
"Aww… Boring."
The dragon protected the Viking girl, and vice versa. They worked together very well. But, the dragon had to leave in order to obey the rules of the Vikings' leader. But then, the Viking girl proposed for a new village to be made, and with that, a new law to allow the dragon to protect them. Everyone left the leader.
The end.
It strongly hinted to a sequel. Perhaps the leader has his revenge?
A hand petted Naho's head.
"Hey, I told you not to touch me!"
"Eeeh, you only said I couldn't touch your tail…"
Naho gave up, closing the book.
She flicked Sayaka on the forehead, and then sat across from her.
Sayaka pouted.
"I swear, if you touch me again, I'll-"
"Do what?" Sayaka interrupted.
"…Good question."
Naho's ears flickered. Her tail swished back and forth in an almost hypnotising motion.
Sayaka waited impatiently. She asked again.
"Naho-tan, please? Just once?"
Naho knew Sayaka wasn't going to give up so easily.
"…Fine."
Sayaka grinned, and lifted a hand to pet Naho.
Naho blinked several times out of confusion as to why Sayaka was able to make her push her head further into her hand.
"Ahah, so cute~!" Sayaka squealed, as she withdrew her hand. "See, wasn't too bad, right?"
"Whatever." Naho replied, crossing her arms. "But that did feel… kind of nice." She tilted her head to the side.
Sayaka petted Naho again. Strangely, it felt nice. Maybe she could just live with it.
Sayaka smiled in mischief as she poked Naho's tail, causing her to 'yelp' out of shock.
"Hey! I told you, don't touch my tail!" she growled, frowning.
"Aw…" Sayaka whimpered. "You're still super cute though! Even when you're angry~"
The last part was almost inaudible, but Naho was able to hear it.
"What was that?!"
"Ohoh, nothing, nothing~!"
