Toshuusai Sharaku - Stellaworth Story

“Thank you very much, brother. Wish me luck!"

“Don't worry, it's going to be fine.”

“I’ll believe your words!”

I wonder what I’d do for a living. I was a painter before my death, but now it's hard to call myself that. After the jailbreak riot, Asakusa has already regained peace, and I am continuing this business, or fraud, or charity work, to overcome boredom.

“Water is sold out..... and the weather is looking doubtful, so I'd better close up the store.”

A small raindrop hit my cheek when I was throwing my tools into my bag.

“It's raining after all, I knew it.”

If I ran now, I would be able to reach home before the rain came down hard. I put my favorite hat back on... That's when she said, "Oh, thank God, I made it in time.”

"Eh..?"

I looked over and saw her approaching at a brisk pace with an umbrella in her hand. It is a brand-new snake-eye umbrella, one I bought on impulse after finding it on Enma Street and falling in love with its color.

“I saw it on the porch and thought maybe you didn't have an umbrella," she said.

What is this happy situation, a lover coming to pick me up with an umbrella, like in a human realm movie? But I am twisted. I am twisted to the point that I'm disgusted at myself. I can't say thank you honestly at a time like this.

"......You're a dense woman."

“Huh?”

“You don't need two umbrellas to pick up a man, you can just say, 'Come in my umbrella.’”

Her face slightly tightened. She looked at me with a sultry, embarrassed look.

“Well I'm sorry I'm a dense one. Here, then."

She handed me the snake-eye umbrella and was about to turn her heel.

“Wait, I'll at least thank you for the umbrella. I'm hungry. I'll buy you your favorite sandwich at the cafe.”

“No need to thank me, but ...... I was just starting to get hungry too. If you want to stop by, let's hurry.”

The rain was not too heavy yet. I didn't mind walking around soaking wet, but I also had art supplies today. Above all, I wanted to quickly use the snake-eye umbrella she had brought with her.

“I've never used this before."

“Ah, I didn't know that.”

“By the way, that black, dowdy, plain-looking umbrella of yours… If I remember correctly, I saw it in Jigoku.”

“You have a wonderful memory. This is the one provided by the prison school. It's large and convenient, so the older students use it. I'm very attached to it.”

“Get a new one! If you want, I can get you a new one, or any number of more expensive ones.”

“Don't waste money.”

“Who would waste?!”

“It's so useful. It never breaks, no matter how hard the wind blows.”

“This is not Jigoku, but the human realm. There are no winds that can blow sinners away, no fire sparks, spears, or icicles.”

“But ...... ah.”

Her gaze fell on a high school girl in a group. It looks like she doesn't have an umbrella.

She put a handkerchief over her head and tried to run, but as soon as she moved, the cloth fell off, making it difficult for her to move forward.

“You there, wait!”

“Oi…?”

She ran up to the high school girl and handed her the umbrella she was holding.

"Use this umbrella if you like."

"...... Sister? Are you the one from the cafe by any chance?

“Oh, you must be our customer. It's hard to run with that and you will get wet if it rains too hard, so please use it.”

"Um, but ......."

“You can return this umbrella to the cafe.”

"But won't ...... you get wet? I see, that must be your boyfriend over there!"

The high school girl suddenly turned to me.

“I knew you had a boyfriend! My friend wanted to confess to the water vendor the other day, but I'm going to tell her not to do it.”

"Yeah, tell her, we are already living together."

"Kyah!"

“Sharaku?!”

“Anyway, use it and go home before the rain gets worse. Can you please deliver the umbrella to the cafe properly? It's her favorite.”

“Got it! I'll make sure it gets there tomorrow!”

“Have a safe trip home. Be careful.”

“Yes, thank you! Thank you very much!”

The high school girl runs away, happily holding up a plain-looking umbrella. And then...

“If you want to play with me under the umbrella so badly, just say so.”

"Whip or electric current, whichever you prefer."

“I'm not kidding, I'm serious.”

She takes out the whip with ease. The fact is that she is not honest in this way, but this seriousness is what makes her so adorable. I'm not an honest person to begin with, so I'm not the best person to say this.

"You can't leave alone, it's about to start raining. Come on, get under the umbrella."

When I held out the snake-eye umbrella to her, she took a frightened step back.

“Don't be shy, come on in, you'll get wet.”

“Then, excuse me .......”

The rain is getting stronger little by little and her glossy black hair is already dripping with drops of water.

Darn, I want to just kiss her.

I don't care if people are watching or not, but she is the daughter of Lord Enma. The Jyoburi Mirror is supposed to reflect the deeds of human beings in life, but now it has completely turned into a surveillance system for the daughter of Lord Enma.

Even the model prisoners are watching her and our movements, even though they are not aware that they are spies.

Again, I don't care what they say about me or what I do. I just don't want to give her something her father will make fun of.

"Are you okay? Isn't it hard to walk with me?"

“Dear customer, is this your first time sharing an umbrella?”

There was a small gasp. She nods silently.

Oh no, this is not a good situation. She’s too cute, I want to hug her right now and steal her lips.

“Um... About what you said earlier, in a case like this... Are you sure we only need one umbrella?”

I was at a loss for an answer. She was an elite graduate of a prison school, but she didn't know the first thing about the world.

"It's not so much a mistake. But it’s my preference." "I see... Preference." "But well, in today's case, two would be correct, right? I saved that little girl from getting wet."

Her face broke into a smile. It's really strange, how could such a damn serious and merciful girl could love me.

“And I think this umbrella is happy too, because it's their rainy day debut.”

“Is that... Is that something you should be happy about?”

“You saved me. According to the weather forecast, I thought it would last until night.”

“The weather forecast in the human realm varies sometimes.”

The usually busy plaza was getting less and less crowded due to the rain, as if spiders had been scattered. I'd like to think we'll be spared the lightning.

"Excuse me, Ms. prison guard.”

“What's wrong?"

I put my lips on hers as she looked up at me without question.

"Ah!"

Fortunately, she did not run away. I was so happy that she didn't run away, maybe because she didn't want to get wet in the rain, or maybe because she wanted to kiss me more.

“Why are you always so abrupt?”

“It's the only thing to do when you're under an umbrella.”

“That's your own idea, isn't it?”

“I love you, so let's do it again.”

I devoured her lips harder and deeper than before. I'll do it even if you don't want me to.

“I'm not going to let you do this to me.”

You said that, but we were holding on to each other with such intensity. It is impossible to extinguish desire, to desire nothing, even if heaven and earth were to collapse.

“Sharaku…. No more… Stop!”

She’s beginning to catch her breath. But I won’t stop. This is what happens when you come to pick me up with an umbrella.

I'm a twisted person, so I can only show my happiness and love in this way.

“If anyone tipped your father off about your misbehavior, you can blame it on me."

I whisper, tracing her sweet, soft lips with the tip of my tongue. I don't think I'll be able to hold out until we get home.

Quickly, quickly... I have to find a place to shelter us from the rain.
