Whaaaat?!

No way! Not in a million, billion years! Geez, why the heck would you even think something like that place would be okay?! I don't care what you've read on my fan pages, but that sort of thing is--!

...even if Senpai is there, my mind's made up, and that's final. Time for another plan, you perv!

[idolchatter]

Okay. That makes me feel a bit better about everything. Well, not everything, but about that part.

I'm sure Senpai will take very good care of me.

[shiroganefortune]

I'm certain he will.

[She's lucky, really. Not that Naoto will say it but having someone around she could have trusted from the start would have made her adjustment a lot easier]

[idolchatter]

What, that's the only reaction I get? No "Really, him?" or "I never knew you felt like that!"...?

...I guess I was pretty obvious about it, huh.

[shiroganefortune]

Hmm?

[Oh yeah, so obvious that Miss Socially Oblivious hadn't even let that cross her mind]

Oh...I hadn't realised it was quite like that, although I know you've always held a fondness for him. I thought it was merely that he is someone you already know you can trust and thus an obvious person to turn to for collar assistance.

[Yeah, she's still not entirely past the stage of sex as practical first, even now she knows it can be more than that]

[idolchatter]

Well duh! That part goes without saying!

But it's supposed to be fun, Naoto-kun. I know you and having fun aren't always the best of friends, but come on!

[shiroganefortune]

I'm perfectly capable of having fun!

[Great, now she has Rise and Shayla Shayla to contend with. Just what she needs]

Look, I'm really not the best person to talk to about this. It's only recently that I've come to regard it with anything other than resigned contempt and then only because I haven't had to deal with it at all of late.

[idolchatter]

Even with Kanji-kun~? Hmmmm~?

[shiroganefortune]

I would have thought the "only recently" clause to that sentence would have made it obvious that it's different with him.

[idolchatter]

Oh, right. That makes sense when you put it like that.

But I think now we've kind of brought this conversation in a circle.

[shiroganefortune]

So it would seem. Was there anything else you wanted to know about Atia?

[idolchatter]

Sexiest outfit you've worn there?

Hee hee, I'm just kidding.

[shiroganefortune]

You know there's no way I'm answering that.

[idolchatter]

Not without some effort on my part, anyway.

What, you won't dress up for me, Naoto-kun?

[shiroganefortune]

Why would you want me to dress up for you? Bad enough my mundane makes me do it for Kanji's sake-

[Oh dear, someone said a little too much there]

[idolchatter]

Aha, I knew it! You do dress up for Kanji!

I bet he'd love to see you in a nice, slender kimono. Or maybe he'd rather see you out of it...

[shiroganefortune]

That's enough! I'm putting an end to this line of discussion right now.

[Before she passes out from sheer embarrassment]

[idolchatter]

Okay, okay, fiiiiiiine.

But as long as this conversation is kind of in one of those weird nexus-y places that neither of us will ever remember, what's that your mun was saying about "it's okay if it's you"?

[shiroganefortune]

[God damn her mun]

I believe her intention is to seek out a curse or similar that will allow her to indulge so-called "shipping" urges while recalling that the one other instance of my engagement with another woman was very much not to my taste and something I am in no hurry to repeat.

[And something she doesn't really talk about - even Kanji doesn't know about that one]

[idolchatter]

You know, I think mine was thinking something similar. Haha, talking about it like this is kind of embarrassing though--

--wait! You were with another girl? I guess that's only to be expected after the reception you got at the beauty pageant, Naoto-kun!

[shiroganefortune]

It was the result of a curse, some fairy-tale thing...I have tried to think of it as little as possible ever since.

[idolchatter]

Okay, okay, that's fine, I'll drop it.

...you know, now that you mention it, I wonder if Kanji might die of a nosebleed to watch that kind of thing.

[shiroganefortune]

Actually, he's gotten better about that lately...although, I'm not sure if that wouldn't still be too much for him.

[Still, he'd managed to avoid it Christmastime so there was still hope]

[idolchatter]

Me and you? Two cute girls right in front of him? There's no way he'd be able to keep it together!

[shiroganefortune]

Maybe...so long as he wouldn't run away this time.

[Because that was embarrassing, mainly because it was at the masquerade while they were still pretending they didn't like each other]

[idolchatter]

There's an easy solution to that one, Naoto-kun. You're with the police, so I'm kind of surprised you haven't thought of it yet!
