Chapter 8.5: Hirais Secret V
On the following<em>i</em>night. Trantor: MadHatter
In<em>i</em>the rear wheel of my motorcycle, I put rubber gloves, a shovel, newspaper, a<em>i</em>tiny tin of cat food I had bought at the supermarket, and a cut and ttened piece of cardboard I had at home, and attached it tothe bike with cords.
All<em>i</em>of these things were prepared for mourning the<em>i</em>cat.
After<em>i</em>all, touching<em>i</em>the cat with my bare hands<em>i</em>was out of the question, so I had to wear<em>i</em>gloves and carry the cat in the<em>i</em>cardboard box.
I left home early, contemting<em>i</em>the cats burial. That cat I wondered<em>i</em>what happened to it.
Todays weather<em>i</em>was bright and beautiful<em>i</em>as if yesterdays day<em>i</em>of incessant rain had been<em>i</em>a lie. After being<em>i</em>drenched by precipitation and exposed to the sunlight, the<em>i</em>cats carcass must<em>i</em>be devastated once<em>i</em>more, now that I<em>i</em>thought about it. A shudder crept through me as I imagined<em>i</em>it. I should hurry up and bury the cat in the<em>i</em>soil.
As I<em>i</em>approached the exit of the tunnel, I slowed down and parked my<em>i</em>bike where it would<em>i</em>not disturb others. Nheless
What<em>i</em>was happening?643fd
Nowhere<em>i</em>on the tunnels exit road could a cats carcass be discovered.
Odd. It<em>i</em>was certainly around here I searched and<em>i</em>searched, yet<em>i</em>could not find anything that<em>i</em>resembled the remains<em>i</em>of a cat anywhere.
Apparently, it<em>i</em>had been disposed<em>i</em>of before I<em>i</em>arrived. Or<em>i</em>perhaps someone thoughtfully buried<em>i</em>it. Whichever the<em>i</em>case, that<em>i</em>was for the best. It would be better that way than<em>i</em>to have it exposed<em>i</em>here.
Although<em>i</em>it was true that<em>i</em>what I had brought<em>i</em>with me had<em>i</em>ended up in<em>i</em>vain, I<em>i</em>quietly sped<em>i</em>my hands together<em>i</em>on the spot for the moment and set off on<em>i</em>my motorcycle to head for the convenience store.
Yoo-hoo! Hakamada! Long time<em>i</em>no see!
Oh<em>i</em>yeah, I forgot to<em>i</em>mention that my<em>i</em>partner for todays night shift<em>i</em>was this Hirai.
Indeed, it had<em>i</em>been a long time since I had<em>i</em>seen Hirai. For over a week, I hadnt seen Hirai as the<em>i</em>schedule of our shifts was not always the same.
Seeing her<em>i</em>smile was somehow a little nostalgic.
Yeah, the<em>i</em>bust of her uniform was<em>i</em>still as bulging as ever, too. Well, that<em>i</em>wasnt the point.
Long<em>i</em>time no<em>i</em>see, Hirai.
Yeah, how<em>i</em>have you been?
Hirai<em>i</em>and I exchanged<em>i</em>a light greeting after she left the back<em>i</em>room.
I<em>i</em>am fine, well, a lot of things have been going on
Hmm?Not shared on aggregator websites
Oh, no, no, no, I am talking about my<em>i</em>side of the story. Did<em>i</em>anything unusual happen to you, Hirai?
Me? I am in high spirits all the time! All year<em>i</em>round! But recently I<em>i</em>have been diligently working on the thin book!!
Hahaha youre<em>i</em>making the thin book.
Yeah! The festival is<em>i</em>around the corner! I have been putting<em>i</em>a lot of effort into<em>i</em>this one! I am<em>i</em>not cking! When<em>i</em>it is finished, I will show it to<em>i</em>you!
Huh, I would<em>i</em>pass!!
What? Why? I<em>i</em>want you to<em>i</em>have a look<em>i</em>at it especially, Hakamada.
Whats with<em>i</em>that?
You<em>i</em>will understand it once you<em>i</em>see it.
I thought, unfortunately, that I had be ustomed to<em>i</em>this unusual string<em>i</em>of words as soon<em>i</em>as I was able to follow up<em>i</em>with her discourse.
Right, I had<em>i</em>already learned the identity of Hirai, which<em>i</em>had been unknown to me<em>i</em>until recently.
No After all, I dont want<em>i</em>to touch that kind<em>i</em>of genre.
Until recently, I<em>i</em>had no idea<em>i</em>what this kind<em>i</em>of discourse entailed, nor<em>i</em>did I have a<em>i</em>clue what<em>i</em>Hirai was<em>i</em>getting excited<em>i</em>about, but with the help<em>i</em>of my sister, I<em>i</em>checked it out on<em>i</em>an Inte search<em>i</em>site the other day. I learned<em>i</em>that this behaviorwhat the general public referred to as girls like Hirai and the others who concentrated on one thing to heighten their<em>i</em>excitementwas a pathology.
Hakamada, why<em>i</em>dont you get hooked on yaoi and be a fudanshi!!
As if!! How<em>i</em>could you say that with a broad smile on your face!!
I<em>i</em>involuntarilyunched a clean counterattack.
Hirai, please<em>i</em>dont talk about this stuff at work, its awkward for me.
Huh? I enjoy it, though, particrly<em>i</em>when you get confused.
Hah.gr4
Sorry but when I look at<em>i</em>you, Hakamada, its apparent that you reek<em>i</em>of ying the <em>bottom </em>role or bullying.
Hiraiiiiii?!
I<em>i</em>mean, I am a fujoshi! Even<em>i</em>when I am working, I am<em>i</em>a living creature that looks for moe, you know? I<em>i</em>can ept anything from prepubescent boy to uncles, intense or soft, oh, and I<em>i</em>am not opposed to humanoid creatures, thoughtely, I have been able to ept inorganic things as<em>i</em>well
Inorganic?!Not shared on aggregator websites
Right. Now, this person herself had candidly unveiled herself without a<em>i</em>shred of embarrassment.
What<em>i</em>was hidden was that Hirai Kaname, a.k.a. Lolita Big Tits Hirai, was a<em>i</em>splendid fujoshi who loved yaoi, which<em>i</em>meant no plot, no punchlines, and no meaning,[i] in short. Among<em>i</em>them, she was a fearless expert. She was an<em>i</em>open fujoshi. Furthermore, she loved<em>i</em>these things, rmended them, and even produced them on behalf of yaoi fans all over the country.
For<em>i</em>those of you who were not familiar with this, please<em>i</em>try typing those words into the search bar. If you<em>i</em>had the courage and determination to take it all in, you<em>i</em>could do so by going to (this was important).
The<em>i</em>details beyond this were too much for me to exin since it was quite<em>i</em>shocking.
I mean, girls had<em>i</em>such horrifying thoughts; they<em>i</em>were so introspective. What<em>i</em>did she mean by humanoid and inorganic things?
Why<em>i</em>did you produce and sell so many<em>i</em>books of such nature during<em>i</em>the summer and winter?
These<em>i</em>books are very profitable. And<em>i</em>above all, its enjoyable! When everyone<em>i</em>gathers together, the<em>i</em>topics of conversation broaden!
Dont mention it<em>i</em>with those sparkling eyes<em>i</em>of yours!<hr>
