This is bad. Hime is feeding Hisamori.
Well, even though she said that, of course she doesn't really think of Hisamori as a pet. It was just Hime's playful joke.
"Hmmmm... a dog, perhaps? It's a little small to be likened to a golden retriever, so a Shiba Inu might be closer."
...You're kidding, right?
Um, that's right. Hime was just comparing Hisamori to a pet, or a dog. A dog-type girl or something like that. Maybe the usage is different, but that's how I interpreted it.
"Hisamori-san, hold your hand."
No good. Hime was definitely looking at me like that.
It's ruined all the effort I put into following them.
"one!"
And Hisamori was also enjoying the experience. He sat like a dog and put his hand on Hime's small hand.
"Okay, well done. Here you go, a snack."
"Woah!"
Hisamori seems to enjoy being treated like a pet. This girl has such a cheerful personality...!
"H-Hime? I don't think it's right to treat your classmates like pets."
If it was a joke I would just laugh it off.
Hime's expression was expressionless, so it was a little hard to understand what she was trying to say. If Kiyoshi were nearby, I would leave the decision to her, but right now it was just me and Hisamori, and Hisamori was happy to be treated like a pet, so I was the only one who could point it out.
"Is that so? I think it's cute."
However, Hime doesn't seem to get it.
He strokes Hisamori's neck like a dog. And Hisamori looks happy being stroked. Hime shows him off as if to say, "See, I'm happy."
"But don't you think Hime wouldn't like being treated like a pet by me?"
It's not exactly emotional education, though.
Although she may seem mature, Hime is only eight years old. Her sister had taught her that it was no good to be lenient with her. Education is not just about pampering.
Thanks to this, I also started to tell Shinyo off when she did something really bad. Although I was unconsciously doing something similar to Hime.
However, in this case, the example may have been a little incorrect.
"Youhei-kun's pet... I'm happy about it."
"picture"
This kid has a lot of liking for me.
And he didn't even sound embarrassed. He said it with a straight face, as if he was saying, "It's raining, isn't it?"
"Hisamori is a Shiba Inu, what will I become?"
"That's true. Hoshimiya-senpai might be more like a kitten than a dog. Woof!"
"Kittens... they're nice. They're cute and I like them."
Ignoring me, the two girls are having fun.
...Maybe I'm just taking it too seriously and it's actually a joke.
Hime has such a serious expression that I can't tell...!
And perhaps girls surprisingly like this kind of topic. Both of them seemed to be having fun.
"Yohei-kun"
"...Wh, what?"
If it's a joke, there's nothing to say.
I was starting to worry that I might have pointed it out in a strange way, when Hime clasped her hands and tilted her head cutely.
I was watching to see what he was going to do,
"Meow"
It rang.
She posed like a cat, looked up at me with her eyes tilted up, and meowed softly.
"..."
I'm sorry, Hime.
Correction: Yes, they are incredibly cute as pets.
It was so cute that my heart almost stopped for a moment.
