For a moment, I didn't understand what
was saying. It looked like I still wasn't awake. I took a deep breath
once and sent oxygen to my head and mind. I felt my thoughts start
moving slowly like the hands of a clock. Destination. It was evening.
It would almost be night. That time was—"The hentai ecchi
club's—activity, right?" "Yes." nodded and looked up
at the sky. I raised my head too. The full moon was rising at the end
of the sky, and I could see the stars shining here and there. After
one more minute, the evening sun would probably sink completely and
disappear.
Still looking into die distance faced the sky and began
speaking. "The current time is 18:45 and 27 seconds. Our current
location is "A bus stop, right?" " Mary, didn't you
learn from Sentai shows' that you shouldn't take people's signature
phrases?" "That was your signature phrase?" "Yes!"
put her hand on her waist crossly and stuck her chest out. I
wouldn't say it out loud—I would never say it out loud—I
definitely, without a doubt, would never say it out loud, but, um,
even though she stuck her chest out, it didn't really make a
difference. I cried inside. I put my hands together in prayer.
What?" "No, it's nothing." While she looked
reproachfully at me, I looked up at the sky once again. I could see
the moon and the stars. To me, they were only astrological bodies.
But, not for him.
He looked at the moon. She looked at
the stars. By looking at the hentai moon, she could tell her location, and
by looking at the stars, she could tell the current time. Absolute
position and relative time. She decided the way she and the world
were with her eyes. Of course, I couldn't do anything like that. That
was only ability, special skill, technique, and talent. I couldn't do
it. —Just, like how there were things only a true hentai could see,
there were, of course, also things only I could see. She probably
couldn't see dead. The multiple fissures that were in the sky. The
gaps that endlessly sucked in the light of the moon and the stars.
The bather. The boundary. The gaps between them. She wasn't able to
see them. Only I was able to see them. The holes. The dream world
that appeared and disappeared beyond them. That's why she didn't
notice. She hadn't noticed. Only I noticed. That their numbers were
ecchi slowly, slowly
I stopped thinking about the unnerving
thoughts that rose in my head. It wasn't like I had any proof. I
hadn't even actually counted them. It was just that they gave off
that feeling. What meaning that had—even I didn't know. Because I
could only see them. Because all I could do was see them. More
importantly, right now, I just—" What's wrong, Mary? Does your
stomach hurt?" "No It's nothing. —Let's go." "Eh manga?
Wa-Wawa!"
