Tenchi Muyo! in the World

おことわり

After preparing for the brief return to Jurai, Yoshyo came back to Funaho. Transferred to the hall where the Royal tree Funaho was located, he found Airi there.
'What are you doing?' asked Yoshyo.
Around Funaho, there were dozens of puppies running all about and in the middle was Airi in delight. Yoshyo walked up to her.
'-Er.'
'Oh. At last you are back,' said Airi in a cold voice. 'I believed that you would notice us more early. Didn't we darling?'
It was just like a wife complaining to her husband who was busy with his work and did not care much of his wife. Of course as a 13 years old boy, Yoshyo was not able to understand what she wanted to say and Airi also did not expect for him to do so. It was just a joke of her to a younger boy.
'I am sorry. Are these puppies Funaho?' asked Yoshyo.
'Yes, that's right. I wanted to try it once. You were late so I though it was a nice chance,' said Airi giggling and hugging one of the puppies which Funaho mimicked. Funaho reacting to her emotion of joy, and all the puppies running all about suddenly dashed up to Airi and Yoshyo. An enormous number of puppies covered them.
'No, Funaho! Stop!' cried out Yoshyo.
'Hahahahahahahahahaha------------!!' laughed Airi.
To the soft touch of the puppies and the tickling emotions pulsed from Funaho, Airi turned into trance condition. covered by the puppies, the two of them slightly touched each other.
"I'll not forget this", thought Airi, "I'll not forget this till he will come back half a year later."
