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!

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!

[shiroganefortune]

[Ah...well yes, there was that...]

Intriguing as that might be, I wouldn't want to force him to stay if he didn't wish to.

[idolchatter]

I'm sure he'd actually want to stay. We'd just be helping him face his insecurities!

[shiroganefortune]

...Perhaps.

[Though what it would do for her insecurities, she couldn't say]

[idolchatter]

Naoto-kun, am I just going to handcuff both of you to each other?

[shiroganefortune]

There's no need to go that far!
