Characters: Hosho Isagi & Yui Kotaro.

 

Title: Christmas and rodents

 

-Downtown-

 

Hosho: (The illuminations are sparkling brightly… It’s dazzling……)

(And the people who are smiling dressed up as Santa…… they look like they’re having fun, and it’s wonderful… But even so…)

(...... My reflection in the store window…… It’s completely out of place.)

But this pet shop has all sorts of animals that are rare…… 

So I want to check it out for a little while longer…… but maybe that’s presumptuous of me.

(...... Like I thought, I should just hurry up and pass by already... I’ll walk along the curb as much as possible……)

 

[Bump!]

 

Hosho: Wha—!

 

Yui: Oomph……

 

Hosho: I’m s-sorry. I’m so sorry. Someone like me is obstructing your path……

 

Yui: It’s nothing……

 

Hosho: I’m honestly so sorry. How can I possibly express my apologies……

 

Yui: …… You…… 

 

Hosho: O-Oh, y-yes…… I’m sorry. H-How can I make it up to you…… 

 

Yui: That’s not it. You were gazing at the pet shop with intense focus just now…… 

Are you also interested in this place?

 

Hosho: Yes…… I wanted to try going in because it has all types of rodents.

Oh, but someone like me entering such a place is out of the question. I’m sorry.

 

Yui: Not at all. I can feel the love coming from your gaze towards the animals.

You don’t need to be so humble.

 

Hosho: N-No way, someone like me……

 

Yui: It’s okay to be confident.

No matter what anyone will try to tell you, you don’t need to back down on what you love.

…… Even I have something that I refuse to give up.

 

Hosho: Something that you won’t give up…… 

 

Yui: Seeing as that’s how it is, let’s go inside right away and take a look.

 

Hosho: Huh, oh, no…… That’s a big step.

(If I’m together with someone whose appearance is this radiant, then it'll shave off years of my life.)

 

Yui: Fret not! What awaits us are the adorable rodents!

 

In the end, while he discussed about animals with the pink-haired male…

The university student enjoyed himself in the pet shop.

The next two people will be in the middle of planning a ski trip……?
