With You Upon My Back (1)

Kaede

(Now that I finally have some free time… I should probably take a look around.)

(Still, when our break came around, Kuguri-san was gone before I knew it… I wonder where he went off to…)

(I already told him what time to be back, so I’m sure he’ll be on time, but… huh?)

Kuguri

What is it?

Camel

(Grunts)

Kaede

(Oh, there he is! He’s… with a camel…?)

(Well, there is a camel riding attraction here at the sand dunes…)

Kuguri

Do you want me to pet you?

Camel

(Grunts happily)

Kuguri

Good girl. Alright, I’ll pet you as a special treat.

Wow, you’re so smooth. I can feel how warm you are under my fingertips.

Kaede

(Is Kuguri-san going to go for a ride? Something…)

Camel

(Grunts happily)… ♪

Kaede

(…Doesn’t feel right.)

Suspiciously Grinning Staff Member

Camel

(Grunts happily)~♪

Kuguri

Ufufu, what an adorably sweet sound… Where do you want me to pet you next?

…Here?

Kaede

(He’s petting her under her chin…)

Kuguri

Or maybe over here?

Kaede

(Now he’s petting her neck…!)

(Every time Kuguri-san pets the camel, she neighs…)

(She’s not just being affectionate with him, she’s completely smitten!)

(Wh-What in the world is Kuguri-san doing?!)

Camel

(Grunts even more happily…!)

Kuguri

…You want me to ride you?

Beg for it. If you do, then I’ll think about it.
