Editing NouCome: Volume 3 Chapter 4 (section)

===Part 4===
“…………….Okay, now what to do”

With her child transformation not settled as usual, I pulled Yuuouji’s hand and lead her to a place with little people.

“Ouka, it isn’t scary anymore. This is outside and it isn’t scary at all. Get back to your usual self already”

“What’s the usual? I don’t understand”

Kuh…………..

“…………also, I am still a little scared”

Yuuouji’s expression looked clouded. It’s not simply because of the haunted mansion, it probably includes that pick up just now too.

“Then, what should I do to make It not scary anymore?”

“Hug”

“……….huh?”

“The piggy-back just now was comfortable so, it’s hugs this time”

Oi oi…………I think she’s childish daily but, to think that she’s this pampered when she’s really a child………… 

“Hug me hug! That princess one!”

“P-Princess carry? No, there’s no way I could do that”

“……….no?”

Uuu…………what’s with that upward look.

“O-only once”

“Yay”

It’s really embarrassing but, I have to do it if this can calm her fear.

I made up my mind and lifted Yuuouji up.

“Uu………….”

What is this………….i felt that she was very light when I was carrying her just now but, now that I have the arm strength of a woman, maintaining my balance from collapsing was all I could do.

“A-are you satisfied now?”

“Nope, not yet”

No, this is cute tough…………10 seconds then passed.

“……….Ho-how about now?”

“Un, I am slowly not feeling scared……..a little more”

This is bad, my hands are shaking…………….10 more seconds passed.

“………..A-about time?”

“Uuun………………I’ll scratch my head for the finale”

“Huh?..........wait, hey you…………..”

Yuuouji’s head suddenly got closer and started scratching at my cheeks.

“S-stop!”

“Don’t want to. It feels calming doing this----eh?”

With my cheeks scratched when I was originally close to my limits, I could not maintain the princess carry any more.

[Uoou!] [Uwawa!]

I could not do anything and dropped Yuuouji’s body.

Also, i fell forward because my balance collapsed and I ended up covering over Yuuouji, who was on the ground.

“So-sorry. Are you okay…..wait, hn?”

I felt a really strong odd feeling from her expression.

“Hn…….Ah-re?”

And; Yuuouji’s voice clearly sounds different from what happened until now.

“Ah-re? I…………..”

Oi……….isn’t this……….

“I entered the haunted house……………and what happened there again?”

She’s…..back to normal?

A-at this timing huh………thi-this is just too sudden. Doesn’t this kind of event have a little premonition!?

Yuuouji looked blank and our eyes looked at each other at a face distance which was close to touching.

Thi-this is bad. From Yuuouji’s view, she’s being leaned over by a girl she doesn’t know off when her consciousness came back. Uu………..how should I explain this to her.

But but……………the situation was much worse than what I predicted.

“Ama………chi?”

“…………Huh?”



I’m………….back……being a guy?



“Eh………eh? Why……….is Ama-chi on me?”

“U-uuuuoooooo!”

I quickly jumped off her body.

“…………..”

Yuuouji got up next made a blank expression and was staring at me silently.

Thi-this is really bad……………I wonder if she thought I was forcefully attacking her.

“Y-Yuuouji, there’s a circumstance with this-----“

The moment I opened my mouth to try to justify my actions,

“……..eh?”

A stream of tears dropped from Yuuouji’s eyes.

“Wha……….”

With that as the beginning, tears continuously flowed out of Yuuouji’s tears.

“Ah-re…….Ah-re?”

It seems that it wasn’t done intentionally by the person herself.

“T-this is weird, wh-whats wrong with me, me crying is…………” 

Which means; she was so shock that she could not control her emotions.

“Sorry! I-I didn’t meant anything bad. There was a circumstance I couldn’t go against………”

This is bad this is bad THIS IS BAD! What should I do? What’s the best thing to do here!?

I completely fell into panic.

“Y-Yuuouji, err……well-----“

“No, it’s different, Ama-chi”

Yuuouji’s tone was surprisingly firm.

“Eh? Different?”

“Un, Ama-chi was really close to me when I woke up………….i would usually run way from embarrassment but, it didn’t feel bad at all just now…….i can’t put it in words good enough…….”

A complete change; her tone turned awkward.

“You know………things like it was fun whenever we talk or, whenever we make Sensei angry, err………..wh-whenever I got embarrassed when you saw my panties……………every good and bad memories of Ama-chi…………would *baa* float up in my head instantly”

There was no settlement in her words, and her intentions weren’t conveyed to me. But, I clearly know that Yuuouji is carrying a strong emotion in her chest.

“Just now………..err……….when you touched me……..it was embarrassing but………….i felt that I wasn’t displeased about it”

Is she talking about the time I grabbed her hand during that time with the scream machine?

“Also………..around half-way through the haunted mansion, I don’t have much memories about it but…..somehow, I somewhat remember Ama-chi working hard for my sake……”

Yuuouji continued talking to herself.

“All those emotions mashed together………..and it became warm around my chest area……..”

Even within her words, Yuuouji’s tears continued falling.

“Ahaha………even so, I wonder why I cried. This is weird, I don’t know, even though it’s about me”

Yuuouji, looked at me with her tears falling and made a satisfied smile.



“This is the first time in my life……I felt this”



I lost my words and looked at that smile blankly.	

Such a pure expression………exists in this word huh.

“Amakusa-san~~”

“Uuou!?”

Suddenly, a nonchalant voice pries in.

“Okay, cut~~”

“P-President………”

“I apologize for coming in when you two are in a very good atmosphere but, this is probably the last chance for you to clear the mission~~”

“Ah…….”

That’s right, I completely forget because many impactful events occurred.

“Here you go~~”

The president handed me a digital camera………..is this person my ally or enemy; I really don’t know.

Well, I have no reasons to refuse in this situation so, I accepted it and pressed the shutter just like that.

“Okay, mission is clear with this~~”

After the president received the digital camera, she looked at the crystal screen.

“Oh my, you took a very nice expression there~~. I’ll print it out later and give it to you”

“No……….you’re willing to go that far but, I’ll pass”

I politely refused her offer.

Even without her doing that, Yuuouji’s smile will forever be scorched into my mind and will never disappear.
