[CONTINUE + 3] Week 1 || Act: mingle

[foundationmods]

Monday comes onto the snowy town once more, though it still looks as if it's 'night' as ever.

Then again, you are underground. That's just to be expected, considering no natural light can get down here in the first place. The Monsters around you are just as friendly as ever, despite this being your fourth 'time' trying this monday.

There doesn't seem to be many Monsters here...or at least, you think there was more before? Huh.

Well, whatever.

You still have a mission - And with three trials under your belt, you're now a little closer to figuring things out.

...How much longer will this repeat?

[dereban]

That's true.

I do think most of the girls here lean towards 'cute' though, huh...

[Like if there was a scale of cute beauty to sexy beauty, most of them would lean towards the former.]

[le_mat]

Yeah, you're not wrong.

[He siiighs]

I missed Kirijo-san, she was a beauty... Like Red but more likely to just murder you.

[dereban]

Ah, the "I wouldn't mind if she stepped on me icy beauty" type?

To be honest - I do miss one of my friends, from back home. She isn't the 'beauty' type, but she is really cute. We were kind of like two sides of the same coin because of that.

[le_mat]

Even down to using ice magic.

[That makes him turn towards her, chin in his hand]

How cute are we talking?

[dereban]

She won the Cultural Festival Beauty Pageant - she was basically known for being the 'number one most beautiful girl' in our school.

But compared to myself, let's see...

[Himeko leans back a little, sinking a bit.]

If I'm the cool, model-type beauty, she's the cute, idol-type.

[le_mat]

Oooh, I get it. The type of pair that enhances the attributes of each other.

[dereban]

I suppose that's true.

Although Iori really stands out on her own.

[le_mat]

Well, I don't know Iori-san so I just have you to go off of. And you're very pretty, you know.

1 / 2

[dereban]

I can show you a picture of her sometime. I should have some on my phone.

[dereban]

Wait, you can't just casually say that?!

[le_mat]

Why not? I'm confident in my relationship, so I'm not trying to hook up with you. So I'm allowed to just be honest!

[dereban]

It's still weird to say in a hot springs. . .

[le_mat]

[He laughs lightly]

I'm sorry, I'm not trying to make you uncomfortable. But you really shouldn't compare yourself to other people, especially your friend.

[dereban]

[She pouts a little bit.]

I mean -

It's not like that... I'm less uncomfortable and more embarrassed? People don't really say that sort of thing to me.

[Just goes further into the water, glub glub.]

[le_mat]

Ah, should I beat up your boyfriend then?

[dereban]

. . . which one.

[le_mat]

Well, I meant Atsushi since without powers I might have a chance against him.

[Yeah no way with Ichigo]

[dereban]

Please don't kick his ass? I already know he's not the type of person to... in fact, I'd be even more embarrassed if he suddenly started showering me with compliments or like... romantic sonnets...

[le_mat]

Romantic sonnets!

[That makes him laugh, trying to picture either man doing something like that]

Well, maybe Ichigo, since he likes Shakesphere... but definitely not Atsushi-kun.

[dereban]

... yeah, I can imagine Ichigo doing that.

I think Atsushi would get embarrassed making an attempt - he... kind of did the last time he gave me a poem.

[le_mat]

...oh that sounds cute though.

[dereban]

It kind of was.

I wrote a return poem as well, but... he only got it after...

[After she died.]

[le_mat]

Ah...

It almost makes me wish Nine did that kind of thing. But he's a more direct action type of guy and also I'm not sure if he can read.

[He's joking]

[dereban]

He always kind of seemed like that type, yeah...

Well - people show their love in different ways. Although now that I'm talking about it, maybe I will write another proper poem for him. One that isn't... y'know.

[le_mat]

Hmm... you're not wrong. So does that mean I don't have to beat anyone up?
