“Eh?!”
Hisa Sakura never expected that she would be troubled while simply taking a stroll in school.
Besides, she was also considering her part-time job after school.
The carefree girl never imagined that trouble would come knocking—
A spirited steed, running loose from somewhere!
Why would it be described like that?
Simple. When the girl saw this horse, seemingly startled and unbridled, appearing before her.
Instinctively, upon encountering this situation, she wouldn't foolishly stand there.
However, to her surprise, even though she had moved out of the way and had no intention of getting close.
The horse, for goodness sake, inexplicably stopped and even tugged at her clothes.
And it specifically chose to target the parts that would make her feel ashamed... no, it should be said that it used its mouth.
“Yah?”
“D-Don't!”
“There, no, don't! It’s so embarrassing, someone help me!”
“Don’t pull…”
Someone unfamiliar might even think something scandalous was happening.
But in Hisa Sakura's eyes, her predicament wasn't much different, the only distinction being the "attacker" was different.
And, it was a mare.
But for some reason, it seemed very interested in the girl’s clothes.
“No… Don’t… ”
A frail girl was no match for a tall horse.
It could be said that in a matter of seconds, the girl’s school uniform was ruined, leaving her feeling helpless.
And when she tried to escape, or rather, put distance between them for safety.
As a result of carelessness and the horse's "attack", she stumbled and fell directly onto the grass.
And it wasn’t over. If it had just ended there, it would have been fine. But the mare seemed to be interested in the rest of her clothes.
Suddenly, the shy and helpless girl raised her hand to cover herself and tried to move away and cry for help.
“Sii—?!”
Just then, whether it was excitement or something else, the spirited horse let out a long neigh and abruptly stopped.
Then, as if it had been struck by acupuncture or had seen a natural enemy, it froze.
In any case, to the girl’s astonishment, the horse that had seemed strangely agitated or frightened just now, now became like a puppet or a statue.
If it wasn’t for the fact that it was still breathing, and the various pieces of clothing it had torn apart were still on the grass, Hisa Sakura would have suspected that everything that had just happened was a dream.
The previously lively atmosphere quieted down at this moment.
After all, the horse that seemed to be going crazy just now was now standing still, motionless.
“Huff…”
Seeing this, Hisa Sakura finally relaxed and became curious about this strange situation.
Is it alright?
Why did it suddenly stop moving?
Did it get sick?
Although she had been attacked just now, Hisa Sakura was an honest and kind girl and didn't mind it.
Now, seeing the horse not moving, she, with a gentle, almost airheaded personality, actually started to worry about the horse's condition.
“You—”
“I advise you not to get closer. If you startle it again, it’ll get hurt, and that wouldn’t be good.”
“Eh? Really? — No, wait, e-do, who are you?”
“…”
Originally, Hisa Sakura wanted to approach and try to pet it.
But as she was about to do so, a strange and youthful voice suddenly came from behind her.
Naturally, she was startled.
After all, the place she was at was a wide open field.
Because it was off the beaten track and remote, there were no other people around, otherwise, she wouldn’t have shouted for so long when she was harassed by the horse without anyone coming to her aid.
So, where did that voice come from now?
Could it be... well, it was broad daylight now, and the bright sun was high in the sky. It certainly wouldn’t be a paranormal incident.
The somewhat naive girl didn't realize, or perhaps didn't react to her situation.
Instead, after hearing the voice reminding her, she stopped and lowered her hand, then turned to look towards the source of the voice.
So handsome!
First and foremost, his temperament and image were as gentle as jade, truly a fine and refined young man.
In short, he was stunning and handsome, captivating Hisa Sakura, leaving her somewhat mesmerized just from a single glance.
At this moment, she even forgot everything else, wondering what she should name their children if they had any?
That's right, it's not just guys who imagine their children's names when they see a beautiful woman.
Girls do the same, when they see someone they like or are smitten with, they imagine what their "husband" would be like.
“Thump, thump, thump, thump…”
Lost in thought, Hisa Sakura suddenly found herself inexplicably nervous.
Her heart beat like a startled deer, and after realizing it, her beautiful eyes flickered under his gaze.
She felt restless and uneasy, or perhaps helpless, but she couldn't resist sneaking glances at him.
The girl didn't know what was wrong with her. In any case, after seeing him, his appearance was deeply etched into her mind, becoming clearer and clearer with every stolen glance.
“Hey, snap out of it.”
“Eh?!”
“Hm? Are you alright?”
“I-I'm fine.”
“But your face is so red. Are you sick? Or injured?”
“No, no, it’s the heat. It’s really hot today, haha…”
“…”
Girl, has anyone told you that you're really bad at lying?
