《Yuri next door》Chapter 09
Advertisement
Kirin looked around, trying to find something to pass time. However, there was nothing to do in her apartment. After eating breakfast, she had tidied up the place. However, since it wasn’t too messy in the first place, it didn’t take long. Her laundry was already done, folded, and inside her dresser. The floor was already clean and the trash already sorted. She had no tests to correct, nor anything work related to do.
There’s nothing to do, she thought, letting out a sigh. She turned her head towards the TV. Though she had already watched Lovely cure and Two piece, she could watch something else. Or perhaps read a book. However, she didn’t feel like doing any of those things.
In a desperate attempt, she picked up her laptop and searched for clothes. After going through a few stores, she somehow ended up looking on the net for underwear. But it wasn’t the usual ones she wore, but what she called bold underwear.
There’s no way I could wear any of these… Despite blushing the whole time, she didn’t close the tab and continued looking through the site. When she clicked at a red and black lingerie that was too sexy, she had reached her limit. She closed the lid at once the lid, her face burning.
There’s no way I could ever wear that! I don’t have the confidence! Who could wear something like that!?
Maybe Mari… She’d look amazing in that… The moment she pictured her neighbor dressed in such garments, even her ears were red. It’s not fair she can be cute and sexy!
And before Kirin could calm down, the doorbell rang. With a strange high-pitched squeal, she put the laptop aside, stood up, and went to the front door.
To her surprise and delight, Mari was standing on the other side. She forgot about what she was imagining and opened the door right away.

“Hi!” Kirin said with a silly and dreamy smile.
“Hi!” Mari said with a big smile.
“Hi…” Kirin said again. Then the image of seconds ago popped in her head and she became an alarming shade of red.
“Are you free right now?” Mari asked.
“Y-yeah! I mean, yes. W-why do you ask?”
“Do you wanna go on a date?”
Kirin’s heart thumped faster. She even stopped breathing. “Yes!” she answered before she could think twice.
“Wonderful.” Mari’s smile grew. “Isn’t that right?”
“Yes!” Rei, Mari’s daughter came out from behind her, flashing a huge smile.
What…?

It wasn’t a date date, Kirin thought, the embarrassment eating her from the inside.
Right now, she was at the zoo with Mari and her daughter. Rei had to paint an animal from the zoo as a school assignment, so they decided to invite Kirin to go with them.
I was stupid to get my hopes up high the instant I heard the word date. But that’s done. I need to enjoy this.
“Onee-chan, do you like giraffes?” Rei asked, looking at her with bright eyes. “I heard they’re really tall!”
“Yes, they are. When I was your age, I painted them for my school assignment.”
“Is it because of your name[1]?”
“Yes. But when I was a kid, kids used to make fun of me. They asked why my neck wasn’t long as a real giraffe,” Kirin said, smiling. When I outgrew the boys, they made even more fun, she recalled.
“Really? But your name is pretty!”
“Thanks, Rei-chan. How about if we go see them now?”
“Yes!” the kid beamed and grabbed the teacher’s hand.
Rei grabbed Mari’s hand too, and the three of them headed to the giraffes.

We look like a family, Kirin thought, trying to suppress her urge to smile.
“Wow,” Rei said as she looked at the animals. “Are they the tallest in the whole world?”
“On land, I think they’re the tallest, but I know there are bigger animals,” Kirin said.
“Like whales?”
“Yes. The biggest one is the blue whale, and their heart is so big a kid can get in.”
“Really?” Rei seemed astonished.
“Yes. I remember getting inside a replica in the natural history museum when I was around your age.”
“Can we go to the museum, mommy?” Rei asked, clinging to her dress
“Sure. And Kirin will go with us, right?” Mari smiled at the teacher.
“S-sure,” she answered, blushing slightly.
“Yay!”
“But that’s for another day. You need to pick an animal and draw it,” Mari reminded her.
“I’ll pick the giraffe!”
“Great. Now you need to draw.”
“Yes!”
They walked to the closest bench and Rei opened her sketchbook, drawing with a concentrated expression.
Kirin watched with a smile, but then she stopped when she saw Rei drawing three people watching the giraffes.
“You’re drawing me too?” she asked.
“Of course!” Rei answered. “Onee-chan came with us and made this day even more fun!”
“Yeah, she’s right,” Mari said, putting a lock of her blond hair behind her ear.
Kirin blushed again, and this time she couldn’t stop the urge to smile.

The Good End for the Villainess
That night, she was bored and illegally downloaded and installed "Life is but a Rose", the most cheesy and terribly rated otome game of 2001. Just as promised, it was laughably bad. She heckled the game the entire night, finishing it at dawn. As she fell asleep she thought, "Did monkeys write this? How could they let the characters be so dumb, if it were me I wouldn't be that stupid..." And then she woke up in the body of a child "Camilla Florentine." The dumbest character of them all: the villainess. Bad ends and death flags are all that await the arrogant and proud Daughter of the Duke. But only if she went according to the script! As long as she makes her own "Escape Route", surely nothing could go wrong... "Huh? I activated a hidden route? Who cares about that! Love flags or whatever, I've got a great job lined up and can live how I want, screw the game's fate and capture targets! I'M FREEEEEEE!" Runs out the door. Years later: "Why did a Capture Target follow me to a completely different country??????" *** A sweet, silly story written over three days.

8 195The Vampire and The Ghost | ✔︎
[BOOK ONE OF THE VAMPIRE AND THE GHOST SERIES]She's dead, he's undead. An unusual duo make their way through the modern world, and its modern challenges. Annalise Redwood had spent too much time alone, floating in a centuries old house. The very same house she was murdered in 5 years before. She'd watched people leave, come in, investigate and even squat in this house. Yet none of them stayed long. And more importantly none of them saw her. It was hell, and she swore she was cursed. But this all changes, on the 5th anniversary of her death when a seemingly normal young man walks in. And he sees her. Eugene Cubert was old. Too old. He was done with life, had lived, breathed (well not really) and seen too much for one soul to bare. Quite frankly all he wanted to do was find a nice house to live in and spend the rest of the century comfortably locked away from all of the supernatural and natural. He's visiting his 5th house that day, when he hears it. A woman, screaming to be seen. And then he sees her. And nothings quite the same after that.----------------------------------------------------#No.2 in paranormal 3/7/2021#No.1 in ghost 9/7/2021#No.8 in murder 2/8/2021Updates weekly!

She looks up at me, taking a step forward and smiling slightly, "How can I ever get hurt when I have you here to protect me?""But you could have gotten hurt," I murmur softly, hanging my head and feeling my shoulders drop, the tension seeping from my body."No. Stop," She cuts me off sternly but tenderly, "Don't talk like that, Reece.
