Want to be human, but cube-like

"...Waaah! Wait a minute!"

That's what they said, but Aine had been lost in thought for too long, and it was too late to stop her. In the time it took to say half a sentence, Alex had already rolled up her shirt to her neck.

The light-colored underwear and large expanse of snow-white skin that were revealed were so dazzling that Aine almost felt dizzy.

She had no choice but to hurriedly turn around to face the closed door, her back to Alex, her head down, her face flushed, and she said nothing more.

A rush of blood to her head made her instinctively cover her nose, and she hasn't let go of it yet.

"what happened?"

But after hearing her voice of protest, Alex froze and asked a question.

"No, it's okay, you should change quickly!"

We can't just walk out now, so it's better to let Alex change her clothes quickly so she can get out of this awkward situation as soon as possible.

Alex's lack of common sense really bothered Aine. This situation, where only Aine blushed and felt embarrassed, happened almost every now and then when she was with Alex.

"……Um?"

After a questioning nasal sound, there was movement behind me again.

The thought that there was a beautiful woman she liked changing clothes just twenty centimeters behind her made her unable to stop fantasizing about Alex's current state.

The rustling sound of clothes rubbing together began to reach Aine's ears, making her feel that the air was gradually getting hotter.

The sounds of clothes rubbing against clothes, and clothes rubbing against skin, constantly decomposed and reconstructed into concrete images. It was the first time Ai Yin had realized that her imagination could be so powerful.

She closed her eyes, trying to clear her mind, but as her vision went black, the image of Alex's stunningly beautiful body that she had just caught a glimpse of became even clearer in her mind.

She hurriedly opened her eyes again, looking at the pure white door in front of her. Because of the overly smooth plastic surface, she could vaguely see Alex's slender arms raised behind her, and thus she could clearly see her pulling at her clothes with her arms.

Although the reflection was not thorough, making the shadow very blurry, only the movement could be seen, and all other parts were obscured by the shadow itself.

But this actually makes the images in my mind even more vivid!

In my mind, this time, which should have been incredibly short, gradually became long and unbearably agonizing.

Standing there, Aine was at a loss. She could only gently cover her nose with her fingertips and place her thumbs on her cheeks, feeling her skin gradually warming up.

Why am I so shy...!

She let out a sharp, explosive sound in her mind, trying to distract herself in this way.

Shouldn't it be Ellie who's shy at a time like this?! It's not me changing clothes in front of others!

Seriously, isn't Ellie completely shameless? That's just too unfair!

Biting her lower lip, Aine

I tried hard to sort out my chaotic thoughts.

Besides... we're both girls, and there's nothing particularly attractive about us. I have everything she has, so why am I so concerned about her body?!

But the more Aine thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong with her mind.

Could it be—no… wait! I'm not… how could that be…

Her pupils began to tremble, and a sudden sense of self-doubt arose in her heart.

I'm perfectly normal!

Although all the people I interact with in my daily life are women...

I don't think I've ever paid attention to my peers of the opposite sex before...

I prefer female video bloggers...

He might also find other girls attractive and glance at them a few more times...

I get a little excited when I see cute girls...

"Woo..."

The more she thought about it, the more something felt wrong. Ai Yin closed her eyes in pain, and a small, suppressed groan escaped her throat.

Doesn't this look like there's absolutely something wrong with it?

"I've changed, Aine?"

While Aine was still caught in her inner struggle, Alex suddenly spoke up, interrupting her thoughts at just the right moment.

This happened right before Aine started trying to find reasons to convince herself that her orientation was okay.

"Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees!"

Caught off guard by Alex's call, Aine couldn't help but let out a small scream.

"Eh?"

Alex, who was also startled by Aine's not-so-loud scream, paused for a moment.

"Phew... Ah, sorry, I'm fine..."

Turning around in a panic, Aine's face was flushed red. She didn't dare to look Alex in the eye. She lowered her head and stammered a reply.

"Now that you're changed, let's go out..."

After glancing briefly to confirm that Alex was indeed dressed, Ai-yin finished speaking quickly, then eagerly pushed open the door and went out.

"...!"

Aiyin, who was still gently fanning her neck with her little hands to try to cool down, looked up as she came out and saw the shop assistant. She hesitated for a moment and stood not far from the door, looking in this direction.

She was probably drawn over by Ai-yin's scream. Although the volume wasn't very loud, the fitting room wasn't soundproof, and it could definitely be heard from the surrounding area.

Before her face could even cool down, she saw the shop assistant's worried look, and Aine's emotions were immediately overwhelmed by shyness again.

"Um... could you help me measure her body dimensions?"

Not wanting to deal with the shop assistant's questions, Aine immediately took the initiative. She stepped forward, pointed to Alex who was following behind her, forced a smile, and asked a question.

"No problem at all."

The shop assistant looked at Aine with some doubt, then at Alex. Unsure of what had just happened between the two inside, she didn't dwell on it any longer out of respect. She simply smiled and took a soft ruler out of her pocket, handing it to Aine.

"Huh? Shall I come?"

Aine, who thought the shop assistant would take Alex's measurements, froze in place when she saw what was happening.

"Yeah, of course."

Nodding slightly, the shop assistant smiled as she looked at Alex's figure and demeanor, then at Aine.

"If I were to do it, wouldn't the guests be jealous?"

She seemed convinced that their relationship was unusual, and said this very considerately.

I don't want this kind of thoughtfulness!

She opened her mouth, but Aine was too anxious to say anything.

And we really aren't a couple!

Volume 1: Chapter 107 Pretending to be a couple and eating a Valentine's Day set meal?

As dusk approached, two young women, one dressed in pink and the other in white, slowly walked out of a clothing store, carrying several shopping bags filled with clothes.

Alex, who was walking ahead, seemed to be in a good mood, with a slight smile on her lips and a light step.

For her, this afternoon's shopping experience was indeed quite satisfying.

Throughout the entire trip, Aine took her around, and when Aine saw something she liked and asked for her opinion, she just nodded in agreement.

This is because the so-called "other person" is Ai Yin, whose voice and name are very similar to her mother's.

Therefore, this feeling of being able to completely give up thinking and let others decide everything is something she has been missing for a long time, and it makes her feel very comfortable.

It felt like going back to the past, to the time when I was still being manipulated by my mother.

In particular, during the few minutes when Aine was directing me while I was taking measurements, and I was being manipulated by her, I had the illusion that I had become a puppet in her hands.

For some reason, Aine always has a blush on her face and always looks absent-minded.

Compared to Alex, who walked ahead with a relaxed expression, Aine, who was walking slowly behind, was somewhat troubled.

Could it be that I really am...?

No, no, how could that be...?

It seems she is still troubled by the strange thought that had just popped into her head.

Even when I was picking out clothes for everyone, I didn't seem very focused. However, these clothes are just the initial selection, and they will need to be further processed and modified after being bought, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

Speaking of which, when I was taking Ellie's measurements just now, it really felt...

Her face was flushed, her head was down, and she seemed to be lost in thought. Her free hand, which wasn't holding the shopping bag, unconsciously made a fist in the air.

Ugh! Why am I thinking about this again?!

Then, Aine, realizing what she was doing, froze. She pursed her lips tightly, clenched her small hands, and even squeezed her fists hard, as if trying to erase the tactile memory that still lingered in her hands.

At this moment, Alex, who was walking ahead, lifted the shopping bag in her hand and glanced at her phone again.

It was dinnertime.

"Aiyin, are you hungry? How about we find somewhere to eat dinner? Or do you want to go back to the burger joint?"

After thinking for a moment, Alex turned around and asked Aine.

"I...I wasn't savoring the feel of the touch...!"

But then Ai-yin seemed startled and let out a loud scream, which attracted the attention of many passersby.

"……Well!"

Coming to her senses, Aine froze on the spot, completely overwhelmed by shame, unsure of how to react.

"Reminiscing...about the feel?"

She was shouting so loudly that it was hard for Alex not to hear what Aine was saying, and she repeated it in confusion.

"nothing!"

She shook her head vigorously, her loose hair flying wildly, Ai Yin

He quickly interrupted her thoughts and questions.

"By the way, Ellie, what did you just ask?"

"Are you hungry? Would you like to get something to eat?"

Alex simply repeated the question she had just asked, then glanced at Aine's tightly clenched little fists, somewhat puzzled.

"Hmm, okay~"

Trying her best to act as usual, Aine forced a slight upturn in her voice and smiled.

"Oh right, I'll send Xiangzi a message now and see if I need to bring her some food."

After receiving Aine's reply, Alex suddenly remembered that there was someone else at home who might be waiting for her.

Although I had mentioned to Xiangzi before that we might not be able to get back in time for dinner, that was only about whether the burger shop was still open or not. Because of the burger shop's business, their dinner time was always quite late.

If Xiangzi needs anything, Alex can buy her something to eat after they finish eating out.

"...Xiangzi seems to be unable to see the news."

After waiting for a while, Alex discovered that the message she sent to Xiangzi remained unread.

He had replied to all the messages he sent to Xiangzi immediately.

"If I can't see you, you're probably busy, right?"

Ai Yin also made a slight guess.

However, Xiangzi could actually find something to eat in the kitchen of the hamburger shop to solve her dinner problem, so there was no need to worry about her going hungry.
