At the Mansion Sheltering From the Rain

"Ah, it's the worst!"

AyiloveI was hiking with Ai when suddenly it rained heavily and I ran with Ai.

"Ai, are you okay?"

"ManamiManamiHey, I have a house over there. Let me take shelter from the rain."

Ai pointed to a large mansion. This area is a hill with almost no private houses, and there was nothing that could be used as a building or a roof to protect against this heavy rain, so if you accept it, it would be very helpful.

"That's right. I hope you can let me in until this rain stops."

Ai and I were getting tired soon, so it was just right. If I'm out or rejected, I have to run around again.

"Um~, I'm sorry!"

When I arrived at the entrance of the mansion, I rang the doorbell and raised my voice. I think I can't hear my voice because it's drowned out by the sound of the rain, but I'm **** too.

"I wonder if there's anyone here... What should I do, Manami-chan?"

Just when I was about to give up, the front door opened with a creak. A beautiful older sister appeared, probably in her mid-twenties. She is well-dressed, and the way she carries herself and the clothes that make you feel her elegance, combined with the atmosphere of this mansion, makes me wonder if she is some kind of young lady.

"You guys...?"

I explained the situation to my onee-san, who had a strange look on her face, and asked her to take shelter from the rain as it was temporary.

"That's right. Of course it's fine. Please come up."

Ai and I thanked the older sister who welcomed us with a smile and let us go to the mansion.

"It's a nice mansion. Are you living alone?

"BaiziMomokoYou're beautiful, but you don't have a lover? "

"Manami-chan, you're so straight..."

After we borrowed a towel and wiped our bodies, we were led to the living room where we met the older sister――the name wasKomanotopHe was chatting with a man named Momoko. Momoko and I mainly talk, and Ai doesn't say much, only occasionally joining the conversation.

"I'm late. IIshizuIshizuMy name is Manami. and thisSugisakiSugisakiAi. We went to high school together, and we often go hiking on our days off, but today we were unlucky enough to get caught in the rain. Momoko helped me out! "

That's good. Actually, this kind of thing has happened before. A lot of people other than you have stopped by to take shelter from the rain. There's nothing to block this area, so it's just right." It's okay."

Momoko told us with a wry smile.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Komano."

I'm glad Momoko lives in this mansion. She was in a really fancy mansion, so I was just wondering what I would do if she was a grumpy old man. She could not have been in such a peaceful state.

"Even so, it doesn't look like the rain will stop ..."

"Don't worry about it."

For a moment, I felt a sharp gaze from Momoko, who smiled brightly, and my body trembled. ……What is it now? She returned to her original state of calm as if nothing had happened in a real instant.

"I'll get ready, so take it easy."

Momoko left the room to prepare tea.

"I'm glad Komano-san is a kind person, Manami- chan. "

I shook my head to shake off the discomfort I felt earlier.

"Um, Manami-chan. I just want to go to the bathroom..."

Ai headed in the direction Momoko had left.

"You're late, both of you."

It's been a while since Momoko and Ai left the room. Whether it's Momoko's tea preparation or Ai's bathroom, I think it takes a little too much time.

"Shall we go look for it?"

I also headed in the direction the two had left and started exploring the mansion.

Walking through the corridor again, it is quite wide. Doesn't Momoko feel lonely living alone in a place like this? When I was walking while thinking about such things, there was a room with the door slightly open.

(I wonder if Momoko is over there. Maybe Ai too?)

When I approached the room and took a peek, Ai was standing alone in the room with her back turned to me.

"Ai? What are you doing in this room?"

When I called out to Ai, Ai turned around vigorously. That gaze was the same sharp one I felt from Momoko earlier, and my body trembled again.

"... Manami-chan. Don't surprise me."

Ai loosened her stern gaze and returned to her usual expression. ……What do you mean by usual?

"Ai? Ai... isn't it?"

No matter how you look at it, the way he speaks, and the atmosphere, it's definitely Ai. But I can't get rid of the discomfort I felt earlier. She's also curious about her current phrasing.

" Hey , isn't Momoko here? You went to the Ai toilet, right? Why are you here?"

Called by Ai beckoning me, I entered the room and approached Ai. Then,

“Manami-chan, I caught you.”

“Huh!?”

Suddenly, Ai's arm was grabbed tightly, and Ai smiled with a creepy grin.

“Manami-chan too—” “No!”

I was terrified and pushed Ai hard.

"Nga!"

Ai who fell hard on the floor let out a groan.

"I-I'm sorry, Ai. Are you okay...?"

No matter how scared I was, I threw my best friend away and rushed over to Ai.

"Hey! You damn amateur!"

Ai threw out abusive words at me with an angry expression. I suddenly lost my voice.

" Oh no ... It's terrible, Manami-chan. To push me away all of a sudden.

"Yi?”

Holding the back of her head and scratching her head, Ai muttered. Ai then grabbed something from the back of his head and slowly pulled it down. At the same time, I heard the sound of a zipper opening. Then, the skin and clothes of Ai in front of me became sagging and became like leather. I think the expression "skin" is fine. It's like shedding skin. The skin cracked open on his back, and Momoko appeared from there.

"Eh, Momoko-san...?"

Momoko suddenly appeared from inside Ai. After taking off Ai's skin, she left it on the floor.

"Why Momoko..."

"Because I am the criminal, Manami-san."

Momoko's smile seemed like a demon's expression. That kind of thing, that kind Momoko-san did something like this...

"...Wait a minute. Are you really Momoko-san?"

Momoko distorted her expression to reveal her true nature. Unable to move from fear, I kept looking at Momoko's eyes.

"Okay, I understand. To explain, Ever since you guys came to this mansion, no, since long ago, this Momoko Komano has been acting like me. No, Momoko Komano is definitely a person. It exists."

When I said that, Momoko grabbed something on the back of her head and pulled it down. A tough man with a well-trained body emerged from inside. Momoko's skin increased on the floor.

"Hah, it's been a while since I've returned to this form. Hi, Manami-chan ."

He's the man who lives here."

"Skin..."

After all, it seems that skin is fine. Momoko's skin and Ai's skin on the floor. This man who was wearing it was trying to attack me in his own way.

“I have the ability to turn people into skins. was my stronghold."

The man began to speak fluently.

“As I said, pretending to be this woman, there are people who stop by here from time to time. I invited them in and turned them into skins.

The man went to the closet and opened it to show me what was inside.

"Hi!?"

In the closet hung the skinned women.

"How is it? It's spectacular. It's my best collection."

I lost my waist at the sight and sat flat on the floor.

"You look a little strong. Momoko Komano might lose, so you've returned to your man form after a long time ."

"I'll add it to my collection with my friend Ai-chan."

The man grabbed me tightly and threw me face down on the floor.

"Because it will end soon."

When I thought I heard a man's voice over my back, I put my hand on the back of my head.

"Oh!"

Something is attached to my back. I'm sure it has a zipper like the leather of the two people and the closet. From that moment on, my whole body lost strength, and my body turned into flimsy skin.

(No, what is this! Eh, I can't speak!)

"Yes, Manami-chan's skin is ready."

I was gently lifted by a man. Am I almost weightless now?

"Then let's try it on right now."

(Stop it!)

I was floating in the air with only the floor visible, but I felt something enter my back. A man must be wearing me. The man first thrust his leg into my right leg, and then his left leg as well.

(No, I don't feel well...)

While feeling sick, my legs regained their shape. But I can't move it by my will.

(I can't move! Even though it's my leg, I can't move it!)

"Oh, maybe I'm trying to move my leg right now, but it's no use Manami-chan. You can't move it. Like this."

Right after the man said that, his right and left legs moved alternately. My legs moved involuntarily, making me feel even worse.

"Let's continue. **** isn't my hobby."

This time, the man put his arms through and regained his original shape from the neck down. But I still can't move it.

(No way! Seriously, why isn't it moving!)

"Finally, it's your head."

you won't hear my voice The man lifted my head and covered it. That's when I lost consciousness.
