Ch.189IF Side Story – And the Two Lived Happily (43)

“…..”

Eila’s face was flushed bright red.

However, she didn’t lower her head.

Despite her embarrassment, she didn’t avoid my eyes.

I’m not stupid enough to misunderstand the meaning behind that.

“Um, excuse me…”

“Huh?”

“When you look at me like that… it’s embarrassing…”

Eila turned her head slightly.

With a rustling sound, a few strands of her hair fell down.

As I unconsciously followed the fallen strands with my eyes, at the end was her collarbone.

Her flawless, fair skin had a reddish glow, as if trying to prove that what flowed inside her was indeed blood.

Strange.

It’s not like Eila and I have only been intimate for a day or two.

Why do I feel so strange?

I’ve seen her completely naked before.

So why does this sight now…

Is it just my imagination that this feels more erotic than before?

“…Eila.”

“…Yes.”

“You understand what you just said, right?”

Eila nodded silently.

Without realizing it, I clenched my hand.

There was a crinkling sound as the plastic bag in my hand crumpled.

Perhaps startled by the sound, Eila’s body trembled slightly.

“…Phew.”

I exhaled deeply to release the heat building up inside me.

I should hold back for now.

My head is too hot right now.

If I were to embrace Eila in this state…

…I should wash up first.

I’ve sweated a lot, and it would help cool my head too.

As I turned around, I felt something tugging at my sleeve.

“W-where are you going…?”

I heard Eila’s voice.

Without turning my head, I answered with my back still to her.

“I’m going to wash up first. I’ve sweated a lot, and I smell…”

“Ah….”

I heard a voice that sounded disappointed.

With a soft sound, the hand holding my sleeve let go.

As I took a step forward to go wash up.

“Huh?”

It’s heavy.

I feel something warm on my back.

“Just a moment.”

It didn’t take long to realize that Eila was hugging me from behind.

“E-Eila?”

“Sniff…”

I felt something at my shoulder, or more precisely, at the nape of my neck.

The sound of breathing and warm breath.

…I have a feeling…

Is she… smelling me right now?

“E-Eila…? What are you…”

The weight on my back disappeared, and I heard a giggling voice.

“Hehe, you don’t smell bad at all! Rather, you smell good…”

Saying that, she buried her face in my neck again and breathed in, then, as if something had occurred to her, Eila got up from the bed and ran forward.

Where she stopped was… the box.

The box placed in front of the door, the one I had expected Eila to be in.

“Just a moment… where was it…?”

Eila put her body into the box.

She seemed to be looking for something, but weren’t there definitely small boxes inside?

I didn’t open it, but was there something in there?

“…Ah, found it.”

The rustling stopped, and Eila raised her head.

“Ta-da…”

Eila’s face as she looked up was no different from usual.

Pretty as always.

But…

But…

What are those ears attached to her head?

“Ehehe… Do they suit me…?”

Cat ears?

No, dog ears?

At least, judging by how her hair is pressed down, it seems to be a headband…

“I, I prepared a tail too… but it seemed a bit too much…”

“…Tail?”

Tail?

The one I’m thinking of?

Why would she prepare…

…No way?

“Eila, wait a moment.”

“Eh, yes?”

Clearly, Eila had mentioned earlier.

That she had received help choosing my birthday present.

There aren’t many people Eila would ask for help.

Especially considering who she went out with today.

And if I think about that pink-haired pervert there…

I searched through the boxes.

Boxes tightly closed, boxes with torn packaging.

And… a box already opened with its contents visible.

Inside that box was.

“…A collar?”

“Ah! That’s right!”

Eila jumped off the bed, snatched the collar from my hand, and took it away.

Then, as naturally as flowing water, she crouched down and clicked the collar around her neck.

“Ehehe…”

With the collar on, kneeling on the floor, looking up at me.

Lightly clenching her hands and bringing them up under her chin.

“Woof woof!”

Seeing her bark like that with a bright smile on her face…

“…So it’s a dog?”

“Yes… H-how is it? Am I cute… woof?”

Wow.

I can’t take this.

“…W-when you stare at me like that, it’s embarrassing–!?”

“…A dog.”

“Yes…?”

“Why is a dog speaking human language?”

“Ugh…?”

Oops, I unintentionally said something harsh…

But, isn’t this the reaction Eila wanted in the first place?

Otherwise, this situation doesn’t make sense.

“…W-woof!”

I guess that was her answer?

“Sigh…”

Deep breath.

Let me take a deep breath.

Slowly breathing, I gently scratched Eila’s chin.

“That’s right, good job.”

“W-woof…!”

Her face, which had been bright red, now returned to its normal color.

Whether she had gotten used to it or had given up, I wasn’t sure.

What mattered was that all of this was increasing my blood circulation speed.

“Eila.”

“Yes, what… W-woof? Woof woof?”

“Pfft.”

I couldn’t help but laugh.

Slowly, I stroked Eila’s hair—or should I call it fur now?

Anyway, I stroked Eila’s head.

The headband got in the way, so it wasn’t as pleasant a sensation as usual…

With one hand on Eila’s chin.

And the other stroking her head, this scene felt like I was petting an obedient, cute puppy…

…This is driving me crazy.

Have I always had such a perverted taste?

I’m pretty sure I had normal, healthy preferences…!

“Ehehe, ehehehe…”

Hmm.

At least it doesn’t seem to be my fault.

Isn’t it Eila’s fault for being so arousing?

Let me imagine for a moment.

If a woman other than Eila were to act coquettishly with a dog collar and headband…

…

Surprisingly, I don’t have any particular thoughts, which means it must be Eila’s fault after all.

“…Eila?”

“Woof!”

See?

How can anyone stay calm when she’s acting like this?

In this situation, it’s the normal person who’s strange.

Unless there’s a problem with one’s sexual function, it’s impossible to maintain sanity in this situation.

While tickling Eila’s chin, I spoke.

“Eila, so how far does this go?”

“…Woof?”

Eila’s head tilted slightly to the side.

She’s probably asking what I mean.

“Well, you said I could do whatever I want… but, you know, there’s a line? If it’s too much, you’ll dislike it too.”

“Umm…”

The angle increased.

Increased, then returned to normal.

Eila, who had been blinking her eyes, turned her head as if a bit embarrassed, and turned her body.

She headed toward the box.

Just like I had done earlier, she put her body into the box and rummaged around for something.

It didn’t take long.

Eila took out boxes from inside the box and placed them between my legs.

There were three boxes in total.

The topmost box was the one I had seen earlier, already opened.

Inside were cat ear headbands and… two tails.

One was a cat tail, and one was a dog tail…

“Woof!”

Eila bar… spoke.

She probably means I should open the rest too?

Right?

“Hey, Eila, should I open the remaining two?”

“Woof woof!”

Eila nodded.

Seeing her barking like a dog with a bright smile made me feel somewhat guilty.

“…Aren’t you embarrassed? Barking like that?”

“Woo…”

She stopped mid-word and lowered her head.

Something was hitting my thigh repeatedly.

It was Eila’s fist.

“…You’re the one who told me to do it… woof.”

“You don’t have to force yourself…”

I moved aside the open box and unwrapped the packaging of the box below.

The second box contained clothes, neatly arranged and wrapped in plastic.

But these “clothes” were somewhat outrageous.

“…Oh.”

These are items that might get someone arrested for fraud if sold in a normal clothing store.

Clothes so thin and small in area that one might question if they can fulfill the role of clothing at all.

How much fabric did they skimp on?

If the purpose of business is to create profit through cost reduction, these clothes before my eyes must be the most faithfully produced clothes to that purpose.

This is just a string.

“…Are you wearing it now?”

“I wonder? What do you think…?”

Eila raised the corner of her mouth.

I wanted to unwrap the packaging and check the contents right away, but keeping order is important.

It’s not too late to unwrap everything after opening the last box.

But what’s in this one?

It’s heavier than the second box.

Well, it’s probably some kind of outfit?

Cosplay clothes like a bunny girl—-

Clank.

“…Huh?”

This is.

If my eyes aren’t deceiving me…

“…Eila, this is…”

“W-well…”

Inside the third box were items that far exceeded my imagination.

For example–

Handcuffs.

Notably, the handcuffs were the least extreme item.

“…Is this what you wanted? Eila?”

“Well… ugh?”

As I pulled the collar, Eila’s face came right between my legs.

“Answer.”

“Ugh… W-woof…”

“That’s right, good girl.”

I hold the collar tighter.

Naturally, Eila’s face moves further forward.

This creates quite an indecent posture.

“Now, lick it.”
