She Asked for a Rope… So I Asked Her to Stay

That question was so abrupt it took me a beat to react.

“Uh… welcome.”

After reflexively spitting out the standard greeting, I froze again.

“…”

It was because I got a clear look at her.

And then, without meaning to, I…

Fell in love at first sight.

Some might call it cliché…

But my eyes were genuinely glued to her the moment I saw her.

That’s right, I was captivated by her appearance.

The most striking thing was her white hair… I never thought I’d see a beautiful girl in real life who suited white hair so perfectly.

The internet says everyone’s obsessed with white hair, and I’m definitely one of the contributors to that statistic.

But a white-haired 2D beauty and a 3D one are worlds apart.

Beautiful women with natural white hair are rare in real life, and most of the time, it’s just wigs for TV shows or cosplay events. Young people with the guts to actually dye their hair fully white are few and far between… Actually, there are basically none.

There was a trend for a while with a color called “granny gray,” which looked decent from a distance.

But if you looked from even a little ways off… it just made them look like an actual old lady.

I really thought white-haired beauties only existed in 2D…

That notion was shattered in this moment.

A stunning figure, beautiful white hair, and the perfect face I’d always dreamed of.

And those beautiful legs wrapped in black tights… a.w.s.l.

While I was standing there in a daze, she walked up to me and leaned in slightly with a concerned expression.

“Excuse me… are you alright?”

“Yes! I’m alright!”

“Alright?”

“Ahem! No! I’m fine!”

Phew, calm down.

What kind of impression am I making? I look like a little boy who’s never had a girlfriend… Well, I haven’t, that’s true.

No! That’s not the point!

The important thing is… she’s incredibly beautiful!

As a human male, and more broadly, as a male animal, every male has a type they’re drawn to.

That’s the difference in aesthetic preference. To put it bluntly, everyone has different fetishes.

And as a professional lewd pic artist, I have a type I like best too.

And then she appeared… it was like my most satisfying unfinished work, materialized right in front of me as a real entity.

That feeling of hitting the bullseye.

To put it more romantically, this must be a fateful encounter.

I never thought I’d meet someone who perfectly checked every single box I had, like a woman made just for me…

Uh, that sounds way too disgusting and narcissistic.

Maybe it’s because I’m used to streaming, but it felt like I could see bullet comments floating before my eyes.

—— You say it’s love at first sight, but you’re just into her looks, right? ——

Yeah, so what?

Isn’t love at first sight just your hormones talking?

For someone you’ve just met, whose name you don’t even know, the first impression is always based on appearance.

If I said it was because of her kind heart or something, that would be the real lie, right?

I can proudly say I’m into looks. I’m a looks person. I’m a lookist.

Especially after seeing so many stunningly beautiful 2D girls, my aesthetic standards have been honed to an abnormally picky degree.

And this girl in front of me isn’t just perfect in the face, her figure is also…

She’s too big.

No way, I can’t just stare at her white… chest right from the start… that’s too shameless!

Luckily, at that moment, the white-haired beauty was looking around the store, searching for something, and didn’t notice my gaze.

Right, she said… she was looking for rope?

“Um… you mentioned rope, right?”

“Ah, yes… but it seems you don’t sell rope here.”

“Well…”

I forced a smile and didn’t finish the sentence.

But she could tell what I meant from my expression.

How could a convenience store possibly sell rope…

This isn’t a hardware store or a market. Rope isn’t something you’d look for in a convenience store, especially not a chain store focused on snacks and drinks.

It’s absurd to come here for rope. Seems this white-haired beauty is a bit lacking in common sense…

Wait! Something’s wrong!

Late at night… buying rope?

What does she need rope for?

What is the purpose of the rope?

① To tie something up.

② …

Hold on… no way?

“So there really isn’t any…”

The white-haired beauty gave a wry smile and nodded to me.

“I’m sorry for asking such a strange question. I’ll be going then.”

“Okay…”

In the moment she turned, I saw the smile completely vanish from her face, replaced by a dark, heavy cloud.

A sense of dread welled up inside me.

Late night, buying rope, and that expression just now… could it be…

A very unpleasant thought suddenly crossed my mind.

It’s not really option ②, hanging herself, is it!

Snapping back to reality, I saw the white-haired beauty had already walked out of the convenience store.

No way! If I just let her go back like this, something terrible might happen?!

I slipped out from behind the cash register, dashed out of the convenience store in a few quick steps, and called out loudly to the white-haired beauty who was already over ten meters away.

“Um! Please wait!”

“Yes?”

She turned around!

Ugh…!

Now what? What should I do?

I need to stop her somehow… I can’t let her go home alone…

Ah, screw it! Just say something!

Whatever it is! Just say something, me!

“Can I buy you a cup of coffee!”

The words were out before I realized I’d just blurted out the most clichéd pickup line ever.

Instant, crippling awkwardness. I wanted to dig a hole and bury myself.

Such a failure…

She’ll definitely think I’m a weirdo.

But to my surprise, she actually turned around and came back!

She walked back in front of me and gave me a smile.

“Alright… I’ll take you up on that offer for a bit.”

OHHHHHHHHHHHH!

I made it!

I made contact!

—— That’s not love. You just lust for her body. You’re shallow! ——

You’re right! I admit it! So what!

I do lust for her body!

I’m a virgin, but I’m not a eunuch!
