Chimidoro Ice-cream ch4

p1
>Nagatsuki-san didn't go to an overseas zombie quarantine facility
>and ended up staying here.
>O-
>Once again, let's get along, Nagatsuki-san.
>Ah...!

>Just Shion is fine, Hinata-san.
>We're gonna be spending more time together, after all...
>Indeed. We have a lot to think about your school life too...
>Wait.

>Oh right! School!
>We better hurry back, Shion!
>Ah!?
>I told you not to pull me so-...

>Ah.
>GYA!?

>>The serialization begins this issue!!!
>>She can stitch it back together herself, so it's safe(?).

p2
>After school...

>...So with that said,
>in order to make sure people don't find out you're a half-zombie, Shion,
>we should settle on a few rules.
>Right!

>First, don't say or do anything that makes it seem like you're going to attack someone!
>The scent
>of meat~
>Calling people meat
>and eating raw meat in public is banned.
>Right!

>Also, make sure you don't leave my side.
>We should do all of our activities together at all times.
>Eh...!?

>D-Does that mean we have to go to the bathroom together too...?
>Don't you dare look!
>That's an exception!!

>There are going to be limits to what's possible,
>but it'll be a problem if something happens where I can't see you.
>I-I guess so.

>All that's left
>is a method to get your heart pounding...
>Ahem...

>How exactly am I supposed to make
>another girl's heart pound~!?
>Uwah~
>How about some juice~

p3
>I'm sorry you had to see me home...
>Don't worry about it.
>There was something I wanted to give you anyway, Hinata-chan.

>What's that?
>Material I've collected over many years.
>I figured you could use them as reference.
>Eh!?

>So inside this box are...
>classified documents about zombies...!?

>Hm?
>Shoujo manga?

>So that's what she meant by material!?
>It certainly makes for good reference, though!

>I'll make you...
>understand my love.
>Uuh...
>Will I be able to do something like this...?

>No, no.
>Now's not that time to be saying that!
>Shion's school life is on the line here!

>Since it's come to this, I'll read this shoujo manga
>and become a heart-pounding master!

p4
>The next morning
>Okay!
>Phew...
>I did a lot of research,
>so I'm sure to make Shion's heart pound a lot today.

>Good morning, Hinata-chan!
>Ah...
>If I recall, the appropriate gretting here is...

>Good morning, Shion.
>Once again, you're the c-...
>cutest in the world!!
>Eh...?

>Then that would make you
>the cutest in the universe<3
>Wha-...
>Never mind me!!

>Geez! What's the point of my heart pounding!?
>Uh~
>Morning~

>Hah
>Come to think of it,
>the protagonist of that manga pinned the heroine against a wall and made her heart skip.
>Maybe now's my chance to do that?

>Shion!
>Hyah!?

>The class rep's cornering Nagatsuki-san?
>I wonder if she did something...
>D-Did I do something wrong...?
>Eh!?

p5
>This is harder than I expected...
>Hah...
>Alright, turn to page 20 in your textbooks.
>Ah...

>Hinata-chan, could you show me your notes?
>!
>This situation... was in the manga I read yesterday too!

>I think it went like this...
>H-Here!
>!

>Th-Thank you.
>!!

>Kh...
>Looks like I'll have to be even clingier.
>I'm stuffed♪
>We should head back to the classroom~

>Ah~ My legs are numb~!
>Hurk!?

>That hurt...
>You okay, Hinata-chan?

>Huh? Hinata-chan, where are you?
>It's...
>It's all over...

p6
>Hah...
>I couldn't do a single thing today...
>Nagatsuki-chan, let's go home together~
>Ah...!

>Sorry. Not today...
>I see. Maybe next time!
>Is kissing
>really the only option...?

>You okay, Hinata-chan?
>You've been acting kinda weird...
>!!

>N-No I haven't!
>Let's just go home!
>O-Okay?

>I need to make her heart pound
>before we get home...!
>...Ah!

>This is the park where you and I first met, Hinata-chan.
>Eh? Ah...

>Yeah...
>Hah...
>...

>Hinata-chan... Come here a moment.
>Eh?

p7
>Wh-What's this all of a sudden?
>Hinata-chan...

>You're hiding something from me, aren't you?
>Eh!?

>I-I'm not hiding anything...
>But but,
>you've been acting differently today!

>Do you have a fever or something...?
>>chill
>Kya!?

>Y-Your forehead's cold...!?
>Ah.
>Oh no!
>I forgot that my body's cold because I'm half-dead...!

>Maybe this'll make your fever go down!?
>No, it's not a fever!
>Aren't you cold, Shion?

>I am... but I've always been like this so I'm perfectly fine.
>Fine...?

>That's no good!
>You're a girl! You'll freeze!
>Eh?

p8
>It may be spring, but it's still the cold season,
>so you need to stay warm.

>Got it?
>Y-Yeah.
>But...

>Mom said that I'll start to rot if I get too warm.
>Tell me that sooner!

>But
>this much is perfectly fine...
>Can we hold hands on the way home from now on?
>Eh?

>I don't mind...
>but make sure to wear some gloves on cold days, okay?
>!
>Okay!

>Ehehe...

>Hah~
>I'll have to read that shoujo manga again when I get home...
><3

>"Heart-pounding" isn't something that is manufactured, it's something that is born unexpectedly♪
