NOVEL NEXT Chapter 293: [Trick Or Treat]
《Trick or Treat!》
《Eek!?》
I was suddenly pushed onto the sofa by Angu Ogu.
She straddled me.
《W-wait!? Don’t just attack me out of nowhere!》
《Oh? So it’s okay if it’s not sudden?》
《~~~~! That’s not what I meant!? I didn’t even say I wouldn’t give you candy yet!》
《Now that you mention it. Give me candy! If not, I’ll play a trick on you! Grr!》
I had the candy all prepared.
Honestly, I thought it was a hassle to prepare, but it was necessary for self-defense. It’s a necessary expense.Seeing Angougue normally, I had predicted this would happen. So, I went to get the candy.
《Um, Angu Ogu? Could you move?》
《What~? I can’t hear you. Where’s my candy? If you don’t give it, I’ll have to trick you.》
《No, I can’t get it because you’re in the way… Wait, are you not going to let me get it!? That’s unfair!? Move! Move!》
《Come on, Iroha. You have to try harder.》
《Ugh, grr~!》
I tried to escape with all my might.
I flailed my arms and legs…
《Nugh! Hnn~!》
《…》
My arms and legs.
《Huff, puff… W-wait a sec》
《…Iroha, you》
Huh, what!?
Uh, I can’t move at all.
Apparently, Angu Ogu didn’t expect me to be this weak either.
She looked at me with pitying eyes.
《You’ve gotten weaker since you came to America, haven’t you?》
《Ugh!?》
《You should exercise more. You’re still going to dance lessons, right?》
《It’s none of your business! Well, it’s true that since moving to America, the dance studio is farther away, so I go less often.》
《Sigh~. Then let’s go to a lesson together next time.》
《Eh!? I’m fine! I remember all the choreography!》
《No, at this rate, you’ll get exhausted before finishing a song.》
《No way!?》
Damn! At this rate… No choice. Time for drastic measures.
I slowly reached for Angougue’s side.
《…Take this》
《Hya!? Hey, Iroha!? D-don’t tickle me! That’s cheating because you can’t beat me by force!》
《Who’s talking!? You’re the one who pinned me down first!》
《Hahaha!? Stop it!》
《Eek!? Don’t pin my arms too!?》
《You started the tickling! Now, it’s time… since you won’t give me candy, prepare for my trick!》
《W-why!?》
《Wait a second? Actually, Iroha, you smell really good… Sniff, sniff. Maybe you’re the sweet treat.》
《No, stop smelling me!》
《Well then, I’ll just eat you!》
《W-wait… kyaaaaa!?》
Angougue brought her face closer.
I couldn’t resist.
I shut my eyes tightly and braced myself, slightly puckering my lips.
My heart pounded loudly, and then.
Ding-dong
The doorbell echoed in the living room.
When I opened my eyes, Angu Ogu’s face was right in front of me.
《《…》》
We stared at each other.
Then, as if on cue, we both closed our eyes again…
Ding-dong! Ding-dong!
《Iroha…》
-Ding-dong ding-dong, ding-dong!
《Iro… who is it!?》
《Angu Ogu! Answer it, so they don’t wait!》
《Grr! It was just getting good!》
Angu Ogu shouted and got up reluctantly.
Her face moved away.
Phew, close call. I almost crossed a line.
She stood up, removing her warmth and weight from my stomach…
《…Oh》
For some reason, a sad sound escaped my mouth.
Angu Ogu whispered in my ear.
《I’ll be right back, don’t worry》
《~~~~! No, it’s not that!》
I denied it, trying to cover my embarrassment.
I watched as Angougue went to the entrance, took a package, and came back.
《What was that? A delivery?》
《Yeah. The Secret Service checked the package and delivered it. It seems it had to be now. This is from Anego, right?》
《From Ah-nee? What’s inside?》
《Hold on, I’m opening it now》
I got up and moved to the table.
I peeked into the box from behind Angu Ogu. Inside was…
《What’s this, clothes? No, it’s… cosplay items!?》
Then, as if on cue… No, it was planned.
My smartphone buzzed with an incoming call.
