For the rest of the ride, Shiina and I tried to avoid eye contact, feeling strangely aware of our thoughts. The atmosphere was really awkward and none of us knew what he should do.

We both kinda wanted to marry…

Yet our minds were like:

WHATTHEFUCKAMIEVENSUPPOSEDTOSAY;SUREIWANTTO;BUTHOWISTHISEVENSUPPOSEDTOHAPPEN?DOESSHEWANT?WHYWOULDSHEWANTTO?OHMYGODMYBRAINJUSTEXPLODED!

In other words, both of us were entirely incapable to deal with the very concept of it. We adamantly stared at the windows, suppressing any kind of urges why might feel.

Mei on the other hand was having a great time watching our soap opera. She was constantly grinning as her eyes were darting between the two of us. I was kind of afraid of what she was thinking about at that moment.

Well as long as she had her fair share of fun….

After an incredibly long time of strange and uncomfortable silence, at least this was how it felt to me and Shiina, we finally arrived in front of the zoo and the car slowed down. Finding a parking lot was a little bit of a hassle since a bunch of kids were playing football (IT IS NOT CALLED SOCCER!!!) and refused to make place for our car.

A little bit irritated our driver got out of the car and yelled at them.

Mr. Tanaka, our driver, was a thirty-five years old yakuza with a menacing scar that reached from his eyebrow to his upper lip. Adding to this already scary image was his impressive height of almost 1.9m (for Japanese this is quite impressive).

To make it short, he scared the absolute shit out of that kids who hurriedly made place for us. One of the smaller girls even started to cry.

Satisfied with this outcome, Mr. Tanaka went back to the drivers seat and parked the car.

“Have fun, Shisho-sama!”, he said with a smile.

God, his face smiling was the scariest thing I ever saw. Even Jill, that nympho psycho wasn’t as scary as that man!!!

“T-thank you.”, I replied with a slightly trembling voice, trying my best to not show and fear on my expression.

Shiina and Mei did not manage to do it quite as well as me, resulting in Mr. Tanaka’s dejection.

I felt sorry for this big, scary criminal who had most likely killed more than just a few men.

“….yeah….we are going?”, I couldn’t stand the situation anymore and hurriedly escaped from the car. Shiina and Mei similarly jumped out of the car as fast as they only could.

I would have to figure something out. This poor man couldn’t walk around scaring people all around him for the rest of his live. I honestly hoped he was married or had a very fearless or blind girlfriend.

Leaving the car behind, I payed for the entrance to the zoo and we started our ‘sight-seeing’.

For better or worse, the whole Mr. Tanaka episode had replaced the awkwardness between Shiina and me with the deep and long-lasting fear of being alone with this terrifyingly looking man. As such we joked around and had a lot of fun while watching a bunch of monkeys grooming each other.

Since my body wasn’t quite on it’s peak yet, both Shiina and Mei supported me. This resulted in me having one girl on each of my arms. Yes…. This caused a lot of envious looks by both younger and older male orangutan-… I mean humans.

As always Shiina couldn’t just leave it at this. She purposefully pressed her upper body against my arm, causing her small breast underneath the jacket to rub against it. Of course, the layers of clothes between us made it tamer than it normally would have been, but it still provoked some dark looks from the other male donke- I mean humans.

If it was only this I would have still managed, but of course she couldn’t stay true to her innocent looks for once. Instead she made the most incredible statement I ever heard.

“In japan, I think I will make a zoo just with naked woman. For every race I will get one!”, she grinned mischiefiously while saying this.

Luckily, I did not have to facepalm as Mei already did that for me.

“Can’t you be normal for ONCE??”, she said with an annoyed look on her face.

“Says the slave.”, Shiina shot back and stuck out her tongue.

“Calm down, will you…”, I intervened and somewhat deescalated the situation.

Both sulked, though they did not seem to hold a true grudge against each other. For some time, we just continued to walk around the zoo and watched the many different kinds of animals that were kept there.

It was quite the impressive collection, especially when considering that it was only the zoo of a relatively small city of 300.000 inhabitants.

We were observing the two leopards kept on a plain-like area, when suddenly it was Mei who spouted nonsense.

“I think it would be quite the cool sight to have a zoo with beautiful nude woman… But you should also gather some famous ones, or maybe children of famous ones….”, poor child, why have you already been corrupted by the evil?

While I was mourning Mei’s innocence, Shiina’s eyes lit up.

“A private collection!”, please stop making it even more ridiculous!

Sadly, Mei was nodding enthusiastically.

I could only sigh while they continued to develop their plan to create a whole harem of beautiful girls.

Suddenly someone tapped on my shoulder. Surprised I turned around and was greeted by the sight of a somewhat familiar asian face. It took me a moment to remember who it was that was standing in front of me.

It was Shojiro, the yakuza we had spoken about during our drive here.

Surprised and confused I stared at him.

“What the fuck are you doing here?”, ok… my words weren’t really fitting for this situation…

Shojiro did not mind it and smiled.

“Hawatabe-san prepared something for Shisho-sama and the two ladies!”, he had a strange smile on his face.

At this point Mei and Shiina had also realized Shojiro’s presence and now his words had piqued their interest. They basically pulled me along as we followed the young Japanese Mafioso to the building that housed the big aquariums of the zoo.

The building was completely empty, only the countless fish of the small and big tanks noticed our arrival. He led us to the largest of the tanks, a south America themed tank with really beautiful and colorful fish inside it.

Actually, it was more of a pond than a real aquarium. There was only a relatively low, one-and-a-half-meter tall glass wall on one side that allowed a look into the water. On the other side of the ‘pond’ was a small sand beach.

Someone had placed a blanket and some food there.

I instantly understood what Mr. Hawatabe had thought off.

“You are allowed to swim in the tank. No worries, there in nothing dangerous in the water.”, Shojiro informed us quickly and then waited for my reaction.

“Tell Mr. Hawatabe my thanks.”, I said to Shojiro, who nodded and took his leave. The three of us then walked over a small bridge on the side that led to the small beach. There I sat down on the blanket and looked through the things that had been prepared.

“There is no swimwear…”, I said with wry smile.

Neither Shiina nor Mei seemed surprised. In fact, Mei even gave me a meaningful look. It was obvious that she would have been surprised if there was any swim wear.

Both began to strip while I remained sitting on the blanket.

Well, this is also a way to enjoy the view, isn’t it?
