Where the Wind Carries Me...
CHAPTER 5 Mayu just looked away and ignored those puppy eyes. She stomped away and it made Jurina follow her. They both left the forest and went deeper into the town, straight to the bookstore. The cyborg walked in and went to the cash register.
“The usual order for the Oshima family please.”
“Right away, miss.” The bookseller answered and went to the storage room.
“Oi, Sasshi!!! The usual for the Oshima family!!! Where is it?!!!” could be heard in the bookstore.
Jurina giggled. She knew Sashihara Rino was such a wota that she probably was too much into some idol show and didn’t care about the orders or anything else.
‘BOINK’
“Argh! Rie-chan!!! Why did you do this to me?!!”
Whatever happened there afterwards was not for the others to hear but it was so usual that no one paid attention. While waiting for those two to finish their love deeds, Mayu and Jurina went to the manga stands and got indulged in the stories.
“Well, here is your order.” Kitahara Rie, the bookseller, said while coming out of the storage room some hours later.
The two girls put manga away and picked the huge box which had a weight of about two elephants, or at least that was what Jurina thought.
“Thank you and have a good day.” Mayu bowed and the two left the bookstore.
“What’s in there? Elephants?” Jurina asked and was elbowed so hard she had to stop in her tracks and intake a deep breath of air.
Fact number #2: Thoughts – There is no way you can always tell everything you are thinking about coz it might hurt afterwards. In her case, stomach.

*ding dong*
Yuko took off the mitten and cleaned her other hand in the wet towel, then she went to open the door. There standing in her white long dress was Rena. Smile was apparent on her face but one could easily tell it was a forced one as her eyes were beaming with sadness.
“Ah…Rena….come in…” Yuko had a hard time trying to take her eyes away from the beauty.
The raven haired girl walked inside and went to the kitchen. Her eyes suddenly lit up as a 10000000000 karat diamond and she secretly wiped the drool forming in the corner of her lips.
“Hehe, same as always, nee?” The squirrel asked and pushed the baking tray full of soft melonpans towards Rena.
The raven haired girl grabbed the plump piece and stuffed it in her mouth, biting on it like it was her last supper and humming something silently as the sweet taste seeped into her mouth, down her throat and exploded throughout her body like some fireworks in the sky.
“So, what brings you here?” Yuko asked.
“Can’t I come to see a friend?” Rena retorted with a gentle smile and took another bite of the treat in front of her.
The word ‘friend’ resounded in the squirrel’s head as a harsh verdict of reality and she gritted her teeth while observing the pale girl.
“Oshiri~!” Mayu yelled and entered the house. She and Jurina dropped the box hard on the floor and slumped there, unable to move their legs and bodies from exhaustion.
“Oshiri…” The short woman went to check on them and for a moment forgot the guest in the kitchen. “My papers~!!!!”
She jumped around happily, took the box without trying much and carried it to her room.
“How…can she lift it so easily…?” Jurina wondered and closed her eyes.
“She’s a superwoman when it comes to strength, especially when she has to carry her beloved papers…” Mayu replied without any excitement and curled in a ball, hugging someone’s leg without realizing it’s a leg.
“I would prefer if you hugged Jurina instead of hugging my leg like it’s your pillow.” Rena noted and Mayu hurriedly scrambled away, not only releasing the hold of the older Matsui’s leg but also gaining the strength to run to her room. The slight ‘spicy’ undertones were heard in the raven haired girl’s voice and the cyborg just didn’t want any trouble.
“Why is this household so weird? Aren’t we their guests? Yet they go to their rooms to do whatever they please and we are left here like some uninvited guest.”
“Which we kind of are…” Rena sighed.
Suddenly...
“Nani KORE?!!!!” Yuko’s scream could be heard probably even in another dimension. “Why is there a picture of Rena in a Playboy magazine?!!!”
