Chapter 56: SNS ◇  After White Day

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

Yuuko: It feels like a dream. Ah!! Maybe it’s only a dream after all?!

Hina: Hellooo?

Yuuko: …Ow. Nope, not a dream. Thank goodness. It’s not a dream.

Hina: Hellooo? Yuuko? I get that you’re over the moon, but how many times are you going to do that today?

Kyoko: If you keep pinching yourself like that, you’re going to get bruises. But, but, I totally get how you feel! The prince’s smile was seriously amazing. I’ve never been this swept off my feet before. I still feel like I’m floating. I can’t believe that really happened.

Ran: Even you, Kyo-chan? Was the confession really that romantic? Now I’m curious.

Yuuko: The bells.. They rang out in celebration…Diiiing, dooooong…Ow. Not a dream.

Chika: Yuuko, let’s calm down.

Shizu: Super. Super super super super super cool. This memory is going in my permanent collection. Come on, my brain cells, don’t let me forget! If I think about it too much, I might start crying again.

Chika: Whoa. Even Shizu? The three of you in the “Prince’s Group” are all completely lost in dreamland.

Mika: Alright! The defeated squad has arrived! Now, spill! Tell us everything about this fairytale confession! I demand details!

Hina: Mika, what’s with you?

Mika: I’ve already accepted the outcome, so now I just want to hear the story for future reference. That’s the mood I’m in.

Saki: Plus, there’s a bit of hope now, too.

Hina: Hope?

Chika: Actually, through my little sister, I secretly got some inside info on Yuuki-kun. It turns out that because of his family circumstances, he was forced to turn down every single confession this time. I told Mika and Saki about it.

Hina: Is that something we’re even allowed to know?

Chika: I think it’s probably fine, but it’s not something that should be spread around, so let’s keep it between just us.

Mika: Yeah, keep it quiet. I don’t need the competition increasing.

Saki: Right? That news gave me the motivation to focus on my entrance exams. It’ll get out eventually, but for now, let’s keep it under wraps. Hina, sorry for keeping secrets.

Hina: Don’t worry about it. If it’s good news for you two, then treasure it. I’ll be rooting for you.

Mika: Thanks. Now then, don’t hold back on our account! Go ahead and brag about your happiness!

Saki: Yeah, yeah. We’re good now. Spill everything!

Ran: Hmm, well, I’d love to share, but in my case, Uesugi-kun’s confession wasn’t really that romantic.

Chika: Right? When Ran and I went up to him with our cards, he just said, “Thank you for your confessions. I look forward to being with both of you from now on. Here, take this.”

Ran: His wording was polite and sincere, and I could tell he meant it, but… He was too rigid.

Chika: Yeah. It felt more like a legendary arranged marriage proposal than a love confession. It was formal, but it didn’t exactly make my heart race.

Ran: And he immediately started talking about setting up a meeting with the other three. It felt like we were already moving to the next step right away.

Hina: It really varies from person to person, huh? In my case, Houjou-chi was a little more bashful than usual, which made it extra sweet. He’s already cute and endearing, so yeah, my heart did flutter, but his confession was more warm and fluffy than dramatic.

Ran: I can totally picture that.

Mika: Hmm. So Uesugi-kun is super formal, and Houjou-kun is all warm and cozy. Alright, next up… The Prince’s Group! Judging by your reactions, it had to have been ultra romantic. So unfair! Spill it! Maybe not everything, but at least something!

Yuuko: The stars… They were holding hands… And the bashful prince said he liked me… He likes me… Ow. Not a dream.

Mika: Next!

Kyoko: A bashful prince, huh? Yeah, that was definitely moe. I mean, an ikemen getting embarrassed? That’s basically the ultimate reward a girl could hope for! And then he said, “I look forward to being with you from now on.” Then he asked me where I’d like to go on a date. What did I say again?

Yuuko: A date? He didn’t ask me that! It was a dream… No, wait. Ow.

Kyoko: Yuuko, no! I was the one who brought it up. I told him that since the three of us could work out our schedules, we should definitely go on dates.

Yuuko: The three of us? That includes me?

Kyoko: Of course!

Yuuko: You’re a goddess!! I’ll follow you forever! Kyo-chan, thank you!

Shizu: Kyo-chan, thank you! Let’s all be happy together! The four of us!

Saki: What about you, Shizu? Did he say all those swoon-worthy words like “I love you” and “let’s go on a date”?

Shizu: Me? Umm… It’s a little embarrassing to talk about.

Ran: Now I really want to know!

Mika: Come on, spill the juicy details!

Shizu: Alright, alright. So… I had this confession scenario I’d always dreamed of, and I asked him to do it for me.

Ran: A dream confession? What did you ask for?

Shizu: Umm… A kabedon.

Mika: Kabedon!? You mean that kabedon!?

Ran: The ancient fantasy trope that only exists in novels and movies?

Shizu: Yep, that kabedon. Ufufu.

Saki: I have to hear this! So, did the prince actually do it?

Yuuko: Kabedon. The prince’s kabedon. That kabedon. The stuff of dreams. I think I’m gonna…

Hina: Yuuko! Here, pinch pinch!

Yuuko: Ow! …Not a dream.

Mika: Forget that! Back to the kabedon!

Shizu: I kinda let my wish slip out, and the prince, being as kind as he is, asked me about it. I figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask, and—he did it. For real.

Kyoko: What was it like? After he put the pendant on me, I asked him for a selfie together, but I never thought of asking for a kabedon.

Shizu: It was perfect. A once-in-a-lifetime memory.

Mika: I—I’m so jealous. A real kabedon!

Ran: Do you think Uesugi-kun would do it if I asked?

Saki: We should totally try. He might just agree right away.

Yuuko: Kabedon. Selfie. Kabedon. Ugh—I’m an idiot. Why didn’t I think of that!?

Shizu: It’s not too late. If you ask, I bet he’ll do it for you.

Yuuko: Really?

Shizu: Yeah. He looked embarrassed when I asked, but he didn’t seem to mind. And more than anything, he’s incredibly kind.

Kyoko: Hey, Yuuko. How about we both ask him for a kabedon during our date?

Yuuko: I want to! But I’m worried… What if I get too overwhelmed and get a nosebleed?

Hina: Then train your nasal blood vessels! You can do it, Yuuko! For the kabedon!

Yuuko: I’ll try~! But… How do I even train my blood vessels? Someone, tell meee!

ーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーーー

T/N: Lowkey curious how do you train your blood vessels too… No. The right question should be, can you even train your blood vessels…?
