Extra Chapter – Birds of a Feather [Part 6]

Carne’s POV

“…a comrade…”

William-kun muttered slowly.

His eyes held moisture in them I couldn’t understand.

“Eh? C-Comrade?”

Upon hearing William-kun‘s sudden words, I looked at him with a confused face. I thought I heard him wrong.

“I never thought I would meet a comrade here! That was no good, Carne-sama! You will stain the lolicons’ name if you cross over that line!!!”

“Eh? William-kun? Eh?”

As I stared at him blankly with my waist bent to match his eye level, William-kun lightly put his hand over my shoulder and shook his head slowly.

“You mustn’t lay your hands IRL. RL is an inviolable area. Children, little girls are pure, honest, and beautiful. They are sacred beings. Staining them with your own hands is preposterous!”

I didn’t really get it, but William-kun‘s eyes told me he wasn’t joking around.

“I-IR…L…???”

“I know how you feel. I know full well how you feel to the point that it hurts! Little girls are lovely, pure, and innocent. Even if you are a dirty old man with an afro head, they will accept you kindly with a pure heart… Whatever other people say, that undeveloped bo— Gack!!!”

William-kun before me was sent flying in the middle of his fervent speech.

Emma-chan, who was supposed to be a lovely, clean, honest, beautiful, pure, and innocent little beauty, kicked him down heavily.

“Lolicon… go perish.”

“Uuughhh…” William-kun stood up slowly while clutching his neck, which got kicked, in pain.

“J-Just like this, ouch, ouch, ouch… you will sometimes meet little girls who are the complete opposite of the word “pure, innocent, and honest” IRL… ACKK!”

William, who could finally get on his feet, was knocked down again.

“E-Emma-chan? He’ll die! Any more than this, and William-kun‘ll die!”

I helped William-kun, who was twitching on the ground, stand. While doing so, I found myself shuddering from the contrast between the image of the little girls I had always dreamt of and the little girl right before my eyes.

This was not… the little girls… I knew…

“Tch, this soon-to-be criminal…”

“Eeeekkkk!”

The string of words she spat out with eyes that looked like they were looking at something rotten didn’t sound like it came from a pure and innocent little girl at all.

Wrong. The little girls I was searching for were meeker, nobler, more obedient, and…, and…

…they wouldn’t look at me with such contemptuous eyes.

To think that little girls were this scary…

“Not every girl is delicate and lovely… The minds of we lolicons are too fragile to witness that with our own eyes. We can’t stand that blow at all! This is but a fraction of my older sister’s brutality!!!”

William-kun, who was wounded all over, stood up unsteadily as he continued his fervent speech that got interrupted earlier.

The way the younger brother spoke of Emma-chan was so mean. And Emma-chan treated her younger brother so cruelly.

“Wi-William-kun, then what should we do?”

I held onto William-kun, trying to escape Emma-chan‘s cold stare.

Although there were some words I didn’t understand, maybe because of the dialect or the meanings, the thing William-kun spoke of was the exact problem that had haunted me for years. Never before had there been anyone who understood my sexual disposition better than he did. Because I wouldn’t be able to continue living if it were ever discovered by the nobles’ high society.

I was living a life where I had to hide my true self while pushing and forcing myself to fit in with my surroundings. Were you telling me that despite my efforts, little girls… little girls had come to betray me first?

If it were truly like that, I would be left with nothing but despair.

I can’t love anyone.

If little girls were exactly like how he described them, I would break down.

“Carne-sama, spread your wings of imagination.”

William-kun answered with an expression full of compassion.

“What are you? Anne of Green Gables?!”

William-kun ignored Emma-chan‘s retort, which I didn’t really understand the meaning of, rummaged through his pocket, and took out a piece of paper.

“This is my treasure, but… I will give this to Carne-sama. It’s an artifact that can save us. Only one exists in this world.”
