Happy New Year! Did anyone go to the New Year’s event?
-
- Anonymous Pudding
Here~! I went too. I achieved enlightenment.
-
- Anonymous Pudding
Don’t ascend at the start of the year. Though yeah, it was definitely worth seeing.
-
- Anonymous Pudding
I was in the stands, but the monitor was huge, so I could see really well. Sipping coffee from the guaranteed tumbler while watching the Prince… It tasted unexpectedly amazing! I’m so glad I went ♡
-
- Anonymous Pudding
You won the bath tumbler? Lucky you! I only got a can badge. Jealous, but congrats!
-
- Anonymous Pudding
Can badges aren’t bad, but they’re not exactly rare. The people around me had nothing but badges at that time.

- Anonymous Pudding
With 12,000 attendees, how many body pillows were there, I wonder? There couldn’t have been many.
-
- Anonymous Pudding
If it were 1%, that’s 120. Nah, probably not that many. I’d guess around 30—so maybe 0.25%?

Did anyone win the desk calendar or planner? I’ve been kinda curious about those.
-
- Anonymous Pudding
The calendar was better than I expected. It went: chick, Prince, chick, Prince, chick—photo-wise. And the last page had him in a Santa costume.
-
- Anonymous Pudding
I wanna see Santa Prince. As for the summer calendar…Could it be… a swimsuit?
-
- Anonymous Pudding
>>244 Sadly, August has him in a straw hat licking a popsicle.
-

>>245 That’s kinda erotic in its own way.

Tongue action, huh? My imagination is running wild.

I just saw the real yukata-clad Prince coming out of the large bath. His tall figure is exactly as described in his profile. His damp, freshly washed hair made him look insanely sexy.
-

Which hot spring? Any hints?
-

Dripping Wet Yukata Prince?! I wanna see! I really wanna see!
-

>>671 Was it a trip with a girl, by any chance?
-
- Onsen Pudding
>>674 It seems he’s on a family trip. There was a girl with him, but she called him “Onii-chan.” Didn’t seem like a girlfriend based on the vibe.
-
- Anonymous Pudding
More importantly—any hint about the inn?
-
- Anonymous Pudding
Staying under the same roof as the Prince?! Ican feel the delusions multiplying.
-
- Onsen Pudding
>>677 Sadly, the Prince is staying in a detached villa. So…Technically speaking, it’s not the same roof after all.
-
- Anonymous Pudding
Searching for onsen inns with detached villas! There are quite a few. Among those, which ones accommodate male guests… Hmm, I can’t narrow it down yet.
-
- Anonymous Pudding
>>675 So the rumor about him having a younger sister was true. I heard they don’t look much alike.
-
- Onsen Pudding
The wait during cleaning time is way too long.I’d rather they just not clean it at all!
-
- Anonymous Pudding
>>681 Hold up. Cleaning time—does that mean it’s an onsen with gender-swapped bath schedule?!
-
- Onsen Pudding
>>682 That’s right! The line is absurdly long. But I’m lining up. I mean, I HAVE to line up.
-
- Anonymous Pudding
You mean the bath Half-Naked-kun entered?! How much is a tub of that water worth?
-
- Anonymous Pudding
The wash area where his bare skin must’ve touched the bathwater… Of course people are lining up, hoping for some indirect mixed bathing.
-
- Anonymous Pudding
Wow, that’s just too luxurious.
-
- Onsen Pudding
It’s a free-flowing natural spring, so I doubt any components are left in the water. Still, I find myself lining up. The fresh strawberry juice the Prince drank is already sold out. There’s even a hardcore fan who buried herself in the waiting area sofa where the Prince sat and won’t move.

Just breathing the same air as that handsome guy in the same room would make me happy though.
-
- Anonymous Pudding
Last year at Sweets Satellite, I shook his hand, and I practically ascended to heaven. The real deal isn’t just handsome—he’s beyond that.
-
- Frustrated Pudding
At Sweets Satellite, the tickets ran out just before my turn. And for New Year’s, I lost the ticket lottery. I don’t even want a body pillow—I want to meet the real Prince.
-
- Anonymous Pudding
>>690 I might have felt sorry for you… if not for that last line.
-
- Frustrated Pudding
It wasn’t by lottery. I fought hard in an auction and finally won the body pillow. Thought my blood vessels were gonna burst with those sky-high prices.
-
- Tolerant Pudding
>>692 In that case, I’ll pardon you.
-
- Anonymous Pudding
In the end, money is what matters most.

- Anonymous Pudding
But to obtain a real-life ikemen, you need a little something extra on top of that.

Chapter 149: National University Entrance Central Exam: Part 1
ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー
I was seated in an unfamiliar classroom, larger than any in my high school. There were people sitting in front of me and behind me, and on either side, someone was seated with one seat in between.
Ah, right—this is an exam.
Looking down, I saw a B4-sized test sheet already distributed, turned face-down.
“Begin the test.”
At the sound of the announcement, I flipped the paper over. First, I had to write my name. As I picked up my writing instrument and began filling in the name field, I felt an unpleasant snap—the pencil lead had broken. Not good. I needed to rewrite it. In a panic, I erased the smudged name caused by the broken lead and rewrote it with a different pencil.
Alright. Now for the actual questions… Wait, what is this question? This is the first one?
Question 1. Translate the following text inside 《》 into English.
《The Star-Linking Boy has several cute girlfriends. He’s all excited for his weekend dates. He’s got a confident and perfectly prepared date plan.
“This will make all of them super happy. With this, I’m sure I’ll be able to give them a lovey-dovey date.”
Seeing the overly confident Star-Linking Boy, his father, Star-Falling Man, offered some advice.
“If you’re already content with these easy dates, becoming a harem king like me is just a pipe dream. You’ve still got a long way to go. A man who links hearts must strive further. If you want women to truly love and devote themselves to you, you must think more deeply and polish yourself.”
“Dad, I don’t want to become a harem king. I just want to treasure the time I spend with the girls who say they like me.”
“You’re green. Green like an unripe vanilla pod—far from harvest.”
Star-Linking Boy had been doing his best in his own way, so he felt a surge of rebellion at his father’s words. At the same time, he also wanted to hear more from his father, a pioneer in life.
“What exactly am I doing wrong?”
“Women aren’t simple creatures who live entirely in the moment. You need to fix that self-centered way of thinking.《They’re looking far beyond what we can see. If you’re only caught up in the now, love will slip right through your fingers. If you’re just doing what you think you should in a relationship and calling it good enough, love will burn hot at random and end up crumbling to ash before you even notice. Love between men and women is that uncertain and fragile.》”
For Star-Linking Boy, who had only just begun his journey in love, it was a difficult topic. But at the very least, he came to understand that fleeting enjoyment of romance alone wasn’t enough.》
Wait, today is the first day, right? This is really the Common Basic Academic Skills Test? Are you sure this isn’t the Advanced Skills Test by mistake?
Even while thinking that, I forced myself to start writing an answer. But no matter how much I wrote, it never seemed to end. And just when I finally finished and tried to read over what I’d written… The answer section was completely blank. Everything I had written had vanished.
Why? I definitely wrote something, didn’t I? What should I do? There are more questions too. At this rate, I won’t have enough time. If the rest of the questions are this hard, I’m in trouble.
In a panic, I checked the next question.
Question 2. Explain the following principle.
“In regard to the laws of love, all emotional systems are equal. That is, the courtship equation used to describe the laws of love remains invariant in form across all emotional systems.”
Huh? Did we ever learn something like this? This wasn’t in the high school curriculum, was it? What is going on? T-The next one is… Another English translation.
Question 3. Translate the following text into English.
In courtship motions between Japanese people, it is said that whether one can grasp the other’s “moe” is a decisive factor. While it’s true that “no means yes” sometimes applies, it’s clear as day that making bizarre, off-the-wall comments that ruin the moe, or behaving in a forceful manner beyond what the other person can tolerate, will be viewed through the critical lens of being “self-centered.”
That said, worrying too much about such scenarios and hesitating to express genuine romantic feelings—even during crucial moments like a heartfelt confession to one’s true love—is also undesirable. However, it’s also true that this overly passive tendency is often seen among Japanese people.
M-Moe? How am I supposed to translate moe into English? I remember hearing it’s a concept that doesn’t exist in English. Then is it okay to just write moe as-is? There are other tricky words like “off-the-wall” too… As for “no means yes,” it implies someone keeps saying they hate something even though they actually like it, so the “no” doesn’t necessarily mean rejection…
“Time’s up.”
Eh? It’s over already?
Just as I was about to protest, I was jolted awake by an explosively loud noise. 『Super Bazooka Mega Loud Awakening』—that was the sound of my beloved alarm clock.
“So it’s morning… Thank goodness it was just a dream. I guess I really am anxious if I’m having dreams like that. I need to reset my mindset. Let’s go wash my face.”
Today was the first day of the Central Exam. The acceptance letter from the university had already arrived, and while the exam results were only for reference, it was still the biggest test I had ever faced. I usually go through life absentmindedly, but today, I rediscovered just how much of a nervous wreck I could be.
