Rouge's POV
"Uh... wait can you repeat that?" I look at Dengekiko, while scratching my head.
"Basically, she wants to write an article on all five of us. Of course, we'll be doing quests the whole time." Noire says.
I cross my arms and pout, "Ugh! Why?! So lame."
"Yeah, lame is right. We're freakin' CPUs! We can do other things than just do Quests." Neptune nods.
Dengekiko looks a little nervous from what she said, "I... get it. Maybe I didn't say it right. I wanted it to sound exciting!"
"Argh! Quests aren't exciting... I'm about to throw a fit!" I start fidgeting around.
Vert attempts to calm me down, "Now, now. If we all would just look past Dengekiko's... sensationalism... then this shouldn't be too bad."
She turns to Dengekiko, "However, doing Quests to make for an exciting read isn't a valid reason."
I stroke my chin, "Yeah! Why not write about something better, like my exercise regiment!"
Neptune jumps in, "Or my adorableness? Ooh! Ooh! What about my sweet, slender, toned legs?"
"No! You know I'm the jealous type! I forbid you of-"
Dengekiko brightens up, "Sounds like a scoop! I'll pull as much cuteness out of each of you that I possibly can!"
"H-Huh?" I'm so confused.
"Wait just a moment! Gamindustri's been at peace for the most part. There aren't any Quests demanding our attention." Blanc says.
Dengekiko grins, "I know. I gathered you all here with that on my mind. I've looked into the Quests and isolated the ones that'll make you five shine!"
I sob, "No... hard work..."
I look over as Noire jumps.
I swear I can see sparkles in her eyes.
"That's wonderful! I was starting to think that not enough articles about me were being written. In fact, I'm willing to bet that the people of Gamindustri want to read more about me~"
I groan, "...Suuuure."
Blanc nods, "I agree. I'll be in an article and I'll complete these tasks. It's really killing two birds with one stone."
"Shoot! I was hoping you'd all agree. Oh well! Noire and Blanc, we'll have the interviews and-"
Vert interrupts, "Just a moment, please. I never said that I was not interested in these interviews."
I snicker, "Wow. Just because Noire agreed everyone's biting. Two faces... hehehe."
Vert turns to me, "Are you not curious about the quests we've been assigned?"
"Nope." I smile.
Neptune points the accusing finger, "Vert! How could you!? Turning against us like that."
Vert crosses her arms, "I was never on your side, Neptune. Besides, how could I let Blanc and Noire have all the glory?"
Her words catch my interest, "Glory? M...Maybe I wasn't listening! Dengekiko, Red Riding Rouge is now going to be in your article!"
"Glory? Rouge, I never would have took you for that type." Blanc says.
I wipe my cheek, "Well... it's just been a long time since I've done anything productive. In fact, all this week I've been in my room either playing with myself or lurking on the internet."
"...Uh..."
Noire glances at me, "You do realize that you just admitted something so pathetic, right? You don't have to hole up in your bedroom, y'know. I-Instead... we could... maybe go on a date...? We could do something fun... like... g...going to a l...love hotel?"
I can't help but laugh, "Oh, Noire! That's too cute! I might just take you up on that offer."
Blanc clears her throat, "Noire stealing Rouge's heart aside, Neptune, are you sure you don't want to tag along?"
"Yeah! Join us, Neptune! Be like the cool kids!" I cheer.
"Eh... sure, why not? Although, something feels like it's missing." She says.
It takes me a while to figure out what she's getting at, "...Oh! Y-You mean... a conflict, right?"
"Yeah. You know, we argue and bicker and then we turn this into a competition. Then we bond as friends, learn our lesson and skipping off into the sunset."
I nod, "Totally! But... you just broke down this whole story's plot... kinda makes it useless now."
"If you two keep speaking frivolous dialogue, then we won't finish before the sun sets." Noire chuckles.
Neptune and I both groan, "My Red, Noire. You're such a sourpussy."
Noire jumps, "W-What!?"
Blanc winces, "Rouge... I think you meant to say, "sourpuss"."
I sigh, "Whatever, Einstein. Let's just get this show on the road!"
Dengekiko cheers, "Great! Motives aside, I'm glad to see everyone agreeing. I'm looking forward to this, CPUs. Oh! And that plot point you two brought up will be my Plan B in case tragedy strikes for some reason."
I whisper, "Which it will~"
Neptune grins, "Alright, ladies! Let's get to this article!"
Dengekiko nods and she leads us to where the Quest will take place.
Why did I just feel a sudden disturbance in Gamindustri?
