A/N: This was supposed to released on 14th February. But... because of my work. I decide to put this special OS by today. Sorry, everyone... I hope all of enjoying all SoraPile moments in this fic along with our precious Jolks, ShikaRippi and of course EmiUcchi. Thx. Don't forget to give a review. Bye2...
"Everyone I have urgent matter that we should to discuss"
"Urgent matter? What is it?", asked Ucchi curiously.
"Hm. It's almost 14th February. And I'm quite sure each one of you knows what I'm trying to said, right?"
"A-ah… Maybe…", answer Mimorin as she doesn't have a clue what her best friend trying to said to her.
"Haah… 14th February is a valentine day. And it will come soon around the end of this week. But… look at them", said Soramaru as her gaze looked into across the room. Where they can see four women is busy chatting among them.
"Is there something wrong with Pile-chan?", as she looked into across the room.
"I didn't see anything wrong with her. Except her hair?! Did she just cut it?", said Rippi in glee.
"That's true! Wow! She looks beautiful!"
"Hey! I'm right here!"
"Sorry. Could you tell us what this is about?"
"A…Actually… Are you… Not worried with them? I don't want to expecting something from her…it just… it's almost valentine day…and she…she didn't even planning some romantic date with me. Uh…Uh…Uh…"
"It's just your imagination. Pile is a romantic person. She must be preparing something special just for you. Isn't that right girls? WOAH! E-everyone… What happens to…you?", Mimorin looked very confused right now. Especially after she saw this unexpected scene in front her.
In front of Mimorin there was three women who crouching on the floor as they hugging their feet very tightly. They even begin to mumbling some incoherent words that doesn't making any sense at all. Mimorin doesn't know what is happening to them but whatever that is it bring a great effect towards these four women and somehow she having a bad feeling that makes her body shiver. She knows it just her intuition but sometime her intuition never lie to her and she quite sure they will drag her into one big mess. 'I better prepared myself for the worse…'
"Now could you tell me why all of you acting like this?" Asked Mimorin politely but only got a glare from her friends. Those intense glares makes Mimorin backing away several meter from her friends; she even taking a shelter to a nearest desk that was used by them previously. "I-I'm just asking! S-so… d-don't look at me like that! Mou… "After hearing Mimorin plead these four women back into their respective position but still with those glare and pouting in their face. 'Haah… This going to be a long night…' Thought Mimorin as she looking into her friends direction once again.
"Tik…tok…tik…tok…tik…tok…" Mimorin looking at the clock; it's already 7 pm and she still sitting in her with her stubborn friends. Mimorin take sigh. She begins to lose her patience after waiting for half an hours. She don't have time to wait for this nonsense anymore so she decide to taking a leave from this place before she got drag into something she don't want to. She begins standing abruptly from her seat as she taking her bag with her. She then walking towards the exit and before her hand can reach the door knob she feeling a tug in her clothes. Mimorin turn her face and meet with Soramaru face that somehow looks scary in her eyes. "Mimo-chan. You're not going anywhere. Not until you can help us with our dense partner" Threaten Soaramaru as she begins tightening her grip that been holding Mimorin shoulder all this time. "Fine, I'll help you. But…Can we talk in nearest yakiniku restaurant? I kind hungry"
"Ucchi, did you just order another beer for you?", asked Kussun.
"Hmm~ Could you pass it to me? Thank you so much~ I'm so happy having you as my kouhai", as she kissed Kussun forehead.
"Oh no… She is drunk… Maybe we should go now…", Rippi starting to worried. As Ucchi begin pouring in all the content of the beer she just received from Kussun.
"Eh?! But I'm not done yet!", yelled Soramaru.
"Sora-chan"
"We can stop by in that small café near the intersection. It seems they have a different variety of cakes. Maybe we should go there? If you want to", suggest Kussun.
"Hm…Cake. Let's go!"
"Yeah!"
"SORA-CHAN!"
"Y-yes…M-Mimo-chan…?"
"You didn't forget why we're in here, aren't you?"
"Ah! Valentine!"
Suddenly the situation became tense once again. Each one of them looks very serious that they even didn't touch those tempting food that can make you drool just looking at it. Out of sudden Ucchi who have been in her drunk state stand up from her sit and point her finger towards Mimorin."Suzu-chan~ I-it's time…hic…to make KotoUmi…hic…became reality…hic…" Said Ucchi with her mischievous smile. But somehow didn't get any respond from other party and it makes the rest of them become curious so they turned their gaze from Ucchi toward Mimorin to see her condition. In front them they saw Mimorin who look frozen after hearing Ucchi straightforwardness. They know Ucchi just messing around with Mimorin after a certain someone being to clueless with Ucchi action these couples days. Even they can understand how she feeling right now especially when they got into the same situation like her.
'Guess I'm not the only one who feeling despair with the coming valentine' Thought Soramaru as she looking her surroundings. She somehow feels a little bit happy because she is not the only one who having a dense partner that who doesn't know the meaning of valentine. Especially if you are spending this special moment with someone you love and also special to you. 'Walking under the starlight that reflected her beauty. As we passing through this bustling city together. With a starry sky as our eyewitness. Watching at us while we sharing our warmth with each other. Kyaaa! That so romantic! Wait a sec! I don't have time for this!' Soramaru realizing this is not the right time for her to daydreaming about her biggest plan with a certain ojou-sama especially if she doesn't have a clue to bring up those topic in front of her and that's why she need Mimorin help to bring this topic so casually. And to get Mimorin help, she will need to snap her out from her trance.
"Mimo-chan! Mimo-chan! Hey, Mimo-chan!", as she shake Mimorin body.
"Ah! Sora-chan. W-what's happen?"
"A-actually… you kind-"
"Let me tell you what's happen~", before Rippi can say anything Ucchi already cutting in as she hugging Mimorin close to her.
"KYAAA!"
"Ucchi~ Be careful. Someone will be jealous at you. Hahahaha", said Soramaru mischievously.
"Don't worry~ Don't worry~ She…hic…didn't know that….hic…I'm with Suzu-chan now. Hehehehe~"
"I see. Then… We will leave her to you Mimorin. She kind comfy in your lap. Hehehehe"
"Hey, Kussun that's not funny! Kyaaa! U-Ucchi…S-stop snuggling at me, please. E-everyone is l-looking at us"
All of the attention going towards Mimorin and Ucchi who is now taking occupied Mimorin's lap. She begin sitting comfortably at Mimorin lap as she her hand begin embracing Mimorin's neck very tightly. Mimorin can just stare helplessly at her friend that sitting in her lap peacefully. Suddenly she can feeling a ticklish sensation in her neck that sending a shiver into her whole body; Mimorin turn her head only to see Ucchi face that looks so innocent and adorable that buried in the crook of her neck. Who starts sleeping peacefully in Mimorin's body after those busied activities that makes her look very tired and weary. Mimorin can't do much than to accept her cruel punishment even though inside her mind she doesn't mind at all borrowing her body as replacement for a pillow. 'Haah... Guess I will let her stay like this for a while' As she turns her gaze towards Ucchi faces who looks very peacefully and cute in the same time that makes Mimorin showing her sweetest smile as she patting Ucchi head.
"Mimo…chan…", Soramaru looked into Mimorin. With her pleading look that somehow look very cute and adorable.
"I know. Valentine, right?"
"Yeah… So…Do you have any plan about it?", asked Rippi nervously.
"Hmm. How about this one? Why don't all of you just ignore them? For example… all of you avoiding their presence and just ignored them whenever they trying to having a conversation with you. After they were being ignored for several hours or maybe…several days. I'm quite sure they will give a lot attention to you when they seeing you again", said Mimorin casually.
"….."
"Hahaha. Just forget about it. I'm only messing around with you all"
"That's it!"
"We can use this plan! Mimorin you're the best!", Rippi then hug her.
"W-wha? Hey, I'm just messing around! Everyone listen to me! Great… What I'm going to do now?", said Mimorin as she looking to her friends who begins planning something on Valentine day. She can only regret it everything she said right now because she knew these girls capabilities in term of mischievousness especially if it involving with that four women.
"Hmmm…Emitsun…baka…", mumble Ucchi quietly.
'Or… I can play along with them...', though Mimorin as she begins caressing Ucchi hair. Somehow Ucchi can feel a familiar hand that always held her hand when she was lost and encouraging her whenever she feeling down. This warm hand that always had been together beside her alongside with Emitsun. Ucchi knew very well the owner of this protective hand that been caressing her head for a while. She can imagine a certain Mimori Suzuko patting her head very slowly as she begin lull her with her melodious voice.
"Mimo-chan. Arigatou...", said Ucchi as she begin drift to the dream land.
"Ah... Don't mind it... It's my job" , said Mimorin as she show her sincere smile.
~14th February~
Today the nine member of µ's was called by the staff for a special nico nama dedicated to their beloved fans. When nine of them come inside to the studio they was welcomed by lovely decoration around the room like a pink heart balloons and they even changed the background with a beautiful scenery from their anime scene. "Woah..." Emitsun look speechless with that beautiful scenery. Especially in front her she saw many fairy lights that decorated around this dim room with their bright and pretty color that makes this small studio look amazing with those flickering light that adorned every corner of this room. She never expects to witness this beautiful illumination that looked very beautiful and warm as this close. Behind those bright light she can see many memorable scene from their anime where including one of scenes where nine of them watching sunset together. With their hand entwining with each other. As she begin caressing that nostalgic picture carefully with her own hands suddenly tears begin streaming down from Emitsun eyes; as her mind begin reflecting all those precious moments when she performing together in the same stage with her precious friend. "Like us..." Said Emitsun bitterly. As she looking at the image in front her.
Everyone can understand what Emitsun thinking as they feeling the same way like Emitsun. Nine of them have been through this together for almost six years now and µ's not just a mere character for them; each one of them is already became part of their life. It seems like these nine girls were there standing beside them singing and dancing together alongside with them. Delivering their passion towards those massive crowds; who have been cheering on them for six years. To make them smile brightly and to never giving up on what they dreaming about. They can see Emitsun begin wiping her tears as she starting to remember all those precious memories with her friends that begin flowing back into her minds. She than straighten up her back and look into the wall that full of images that been taken either from their anime and movie. "Hehehe. It's too soon for me to cry. Right, Honoka-chan?" Said Emitsun as she shows her brightest smile once again in front of Honoka.
Suddenly she can feel a light tap on her shoulder. Emitsun then turn around and see their friends standing around her in their respectively uniform with the usual hairdo when they will have a live event or nico nama. Each one of them show their sincere smiles that makes her feeling happy and relief. Because she knows they will be always be standing beside her until there is no µ's anymore. Her smile become more brightly than before as she coming forward to her fellow member group and hug them very tightly. That makes several of them can't breathe properly. Especially when you're being pinched together with nine people and one of them have an unquestionable strength to begin with. "E…Emit..sun… we…can't…breathe…" Plea Soramaru helplessly as she and Shikaco were being crushed by Emitsun strength. Where the rest of member can only laugh at the silliness of their friends that happens in front their sight.
"Love Live Valentine date Special nico nama!", said everyone in unison.
"It's been a while since we gather like this… Hmm…Is it two months ago?", asked Emitsun a little bit confused. She then looking at the ceiling as she trying to recount when the last time they being together like now.
"It is. When we announce our last live", confirm Shikaco.
"That's right! That's really sad… And we also have KotoHonoUmiMaki special nico nama…"
"That's happen several weeks ago. Ah…..It's so embarrassing…", Mimorin begin covering up her face with her hand.
"Yeah…", said Pile as she begin remembering the image of her when she became a guest for KotoHonoUmi.
"But… I really liked it. Especially, Suzu-chan ikemen voice. That's so lovely… and cool. I wish you could do that every time I call you~", said Ucchi with her seductive tone.
"Eh? Really? Then…. Starting right now... I will use my ikemen voice just for my beloved and prettiest woman I ever had seen. Aya-chan~", reply Mimorin.
"Mou… Suzu, stop that. It's embarrassing"
"Eh… I'm just telling you the truth. You're not just sweet but… you're so kind. No matter how many time we are teasing you. You never angry with us. You just show those gentle smile that makes my whole body weak and… and…", Mimorin can't continue her words. Because the next thing she going to said is really embarrassing and to make it worse she going to said in front those cameras. 'Oh no… I can't do it. But I must do this. This is for Ucchi and my… sake too. So, I'm going to said it. Emitsun. Gomen.' As she trying to encourage herself.
"And?", asked Ucchi curiously.
"M-makes me… realize… that I want to beside you. Forever. To protecting…those smile to never flatter"
"…."
The studio turned into silent. After hearing Mimorin sudden revelation everyone inside this studio look very shocked that's including the whole staff and the member itself. Everyone begin asking what is going on here especially the members because there is no way someone like Mimorin can say all those thing without preparing everything unless something force her to do it. The reason why they can think like this is because they know Mimorin very well; even though she likes goofing around or doing some silly faces but she never going to said something as embarrassing as that. Unless someone has force her to saying those embarrassing words in front of camera. All their attention goes to a certain tall woman with her twin tail hair trademark. 'Sora-chan. It's definitely her idea' Who pretend didn't know anything as she can feel all attention direct to her.
Suddenly they can hear 'Anemone Heart' playing in the background by one of the staff as they don't want this awkward moment to be last forever. And somehow it really works. Ucchi and Mimorin standing abruptly from their sit and they begin the singing the song exactly like they do in the live event. With some little changes in the choreography; rather than look forward into camera they were looking at each other as their hand begin entwined together. Mimorin looking deep into Ucchi eyes that looks very beautiful and somehow it makes Mimorin so entranced to her as she beginning moving closer towards Ucchi. She keeps closing in until their lips just a mere inch left. But it got stop by Emitsun, who look very confused and bewildered, sudden reaction that slamming at the table that makes both Mimorin and Ucchi backing away.
"W-wha… What going on in here?!", asked Emitsun confusedly.
"Oh, this! Because it's a special nico nama so we deciding to have a special performance for our fans", said Ucchi as she making an excuse.
"This… not even…. in the script. Are you sure you're not making up all this?", asked Nanjolno.
"Of course not! That's why we call it special!", defend Kussun.
"Yeah! And to make it more interesting we will make a valentine choco. As our special corner", yelled Soramaru.
"Choco?", asked Pile.
"Never heard that…", said Shikaco as she looking through the script once again.
"Emitsun. Do you know about this?"
"I…I don't know either. It's not even in the script"
"Then…."
"Hehehe~ Sorry but the script in your hands is old one. And this the new script I just got it from our staff where we got a special segment where we going to make a choco", said Soramaru confidently.
"To make it more interesting…This choco will be given to a lucky person inside the box. So… You better prepared yourself for whoever name you got. Ok?", explain Rippi as she shove the red box towards her friends.
"WHAT!"
Actually no one was known about this special nico nama expect Soramaru and her gangs who hanging out together after their dance practice last week. After several hours spending their time in Yakiniku restaurant they deciding to make something so these four dense women will noticing their effort for this valentine. So they suggesting they should make a special program in valentine day to the producer as they knew many fans missed them to having nico nama together like this and the other reason is to gain attention from these four dense women. Unexpectedly they got an approval from the producer because they thought this will be a good chance for their fans to see another side of their beloved seiyuu's.
After hearing this good news, these five women decide a special corner including a usual corner that made by the staff for this special nico nama. No one knows what kind special corner they made, but they just said it will be fun and will be lot of fan service on it. The staff thought this will be a usual fan service they usually do in front their fans like when they having fan meeting or live event. Without knowing that this special corner was made especially for four dense women who doesn't having clue that their denseness being test by their precious partner. Including with Mimorin who going to watch over everything and help them if their plan didn't worked at all.
So when the rest member heard that they will be having a special nico nama from the staff they quite surprised especially their last live event is almost close. And they kind missed this chance where they can gather around together like this. And without knowing the reason behind this special nico nama they just accept this rare occasion so they can meet with their precious friend and having a warm conversation like they used it. But they never expected to be like this. Making a chocolate in fronts their fans and to make it worse they doesn't know who will get these chocolate. As the receiver will be decide by this famous box.
"Woah! Look, Suzu-chan! It's your name! We're so lucky" Ucchi then show her paper with Mimorin name on it and somehow Emitsun feeling an anxiety in heart when she saw the scenes in front of her. Her heart begin beating so loud as it want to erupted from her body and without her realizing her breathe become irregular that makes her can't breathe properly. She doesn't know why she feeling like this but she doesn't like it when she saw Mimorin so close with Ucchi. 'I'll do anything to get that choc- I mean protect her from Mimorin…' Said Emitsun as she looked towards Mimorin direction with her menacing aura. And somehow Ucchi realized it. Before she return to her seat; Ucchi lean over to Mimorin with one her hand taking support on Mimorin's shoulder as she coming closer to her ear and whispering something that makes Mimorin blushed.
"Hihihi~ I hope you like the choco I made for you. Suzu-chan~"
"Aah… I'm wai-"
"AH! UCCHI! I got your name"
"Eh? But… I'll prefer Suzu-chan…"
"W-wha?"
"Hehehe…She…Prefer Mimorin… than you… Oooh. That's rare"
"Shikaco, that's not funny! How about you? Have you found out who will be receiving your chocolate later?"
"Isn't it obvious? It was for Rippi"
"Next please"
"D-did she just ignoring me?"
"She must be prefer someone else beside you"
Hearing Emitsun comeback makes Shikaco a little bit irritated. She knew Emitsun just teasing her but deep inside she asking herself. 'Is she prefer someone else than me? If it's true… than what the purpose I'm doing all of this. If… In the end she… Only regret it' Thought Shikaco bitterly. Her eyes keep intact on Rippi. She saw Rippi talking happily with Kussun and Pile; she doesn't know what they're talking about but she kind of jealousy with those two. They can be that close with Rippi while she can only standing not too far from her; she really want to go there and hug her from behind like she used too but hearing her reaction before she can understand it if she prefer to be with someone else beside her. Shikaco then turn around and go toward to a long table where all the ingredient for chocolate was prepared; she then take several things for her chocolate then came back into her own sit with a sad face.
Without she notices it, all this time Rippi has been watching at her. From her movement. Her expression. Everything. Because she wants this valentine to be perfect and she doesn't want someone in this studio ruined it. Either it came from the staffs or one of her friends. Especially Shikaco. And that is the reason why she pretends to be cold with her even though deep inside she feeling happy that she will received chocolate from Shikaco. It makes her sad when she notice Shikaco look very down after hearing her response just now and she wished she didn't said that to her but she can't back down now especially after she preparing everything just for her. But… She doesn't have a heart to continue ignoring her as she can't to giving a cold shoulder towards Shikaco anymore as she looks really cute and sweet with her pleading look.
"Shika-chan", called Rippi sweetly. Hearing her name being called; Shikaco then turn her attention from all those ingredients in her table towards the young woman in front her who holding a piece of paper with her name on it. As she showing that paper to her; Shikaco can't contain her tears anymore. She feeling happy as her prayed being listen and even thought there is a slim chance Rippi wouldn't like her chocolate; she still trying her best as she don't want to disappointed the young woman who standing in front of her. "RIPPI!" Shikaco then running toward to Rippi and hugged her very tightly. Rippi can feel a wet sensation in her shoulder and when she turn around she saw Shikaco who buried her face into Rippi shoulder as she don't want anyone else to saw those tears that begin streaming down from her eyes. Rippi then begin patting the older woman who is embracing her with her warmness and tenderness as she whispering something for her.
"You must be thinking. I must be expecting someone else to give me a chocolate. Actually... That was true", Rippi begin teasing the taller woman who still buried her head in Rippi shoulder.
"What?!"
"The person I'm expecting is very cheerful and quite interesting. She... she always makes my day full of laughter whenever we are together. But… I know she is very sensitive with a certain subject in her past. And maybe that is the reason why she can become so strong like now. And that is the reason why I like her so much", said Rippi.
"S-someone… who very cheerful… but also having struggle in the past? Who… are you… talking about? Ah! Is it Pile…the one you're talking about? The one you expecting who going to give you a chocolate", Shikaco looked at Rippi with her teary eyes.
"Of course not, silly. It was you. I never expect someone else to give me a lovely homemade chocolate. So… I'm expecting something from you because I already preparing something special just for two of us", said Rippi seductively.
"….."
"Shika-chan? Shika-chan? Are you okay?", asked Rippi worriedly. As Shikaco look frozen right now especially after she hearing Rippi explanation.
"That… was dangerous. Let's leave them for a while. Honestly, I'm kind expecting something good will happen when we started this corner. Hehehehe. I wonder what it is. Mimo-chan. Shall we started it?", asked Soramaru.
"Yes. Everyone looks very impatient. They can't wait anymore to make a delicious chocolate for their special someone. Ah! Almost forgot. Please acting it out as your own character as you confessing your love with whoever member you got from inside the box. By using the chocolate you make"
"EH?! Confessing our love?!That's embarrassing!", the members begin complaining. Including Soramaru itself.
"Stop complaining. That was written on the board. We don't have a choice than to do it. Let's we started this special nico nama"
After a short CM; there is a slight changes inside the studio where the long table that previous used by them was replaced by a big table with many ingredients on it. And interestingly they even separate the member into two different teams. Where Mimorin is acting out as a judge because she is the only one who got blank paper; so the staff decide her to be judge to watch over this whole corner while they preparing something for her. Mimorin then look at her friends; she can see nervousness in their faces she can understand their situation rights know because they are going to prepare their own chocolate for their partner. That been decide by this mischief red box.
'I'm so glad I got blank paper. If not… I'll be in the same situation like them' Then her eyes stop trailing until she meet with Ucchi gaze. When their gaze meet, Ucchi return it with her sweet smile and it makes Mimorin flinched a little a bit because there is a certain woman who keep on checking on her move. She begins feeling goose bump as she just realizing her mistake by accepting Ucchi request. 'Oh no… I just make Emitsun angry with me. Why I say yes that time? If I knew it will be like this… I should say no. But… she is sooo cute… with those two adorable eyes that looking into me. And … and… those sweet and innocent voice. KYAAA! Hah…Hah…Hah… Calm down. Calm down' Thought Mimorin as she finishing recalling her memory regarding her conversation with Ucchi.
'But she not the only one…' Mimorin look into Soramaru direction. She noticed that her best friend is preoccupied with her own task as she didn't realize that someone has been watching at her curiously. 'Like she said. This going to be interesting…' Mimorin can't stop smiling. She knew this going to be a long day for her but she will try her best to help them because she knew there will be lots of interesting thing to be seen especially from these dense couple. Even though she is a little bit worried with Ucchi plan. And whatever she is planning she doesn't having clue at all but one thing for sure Emitsun going to get jealous at her and she will be receiving those menacing look for a whole day.
"Then… shall we start our cooking corner? It's more like preparing than cooking. Hm? Got it. 'Me? Her? T-this is our… doki doki chocolate time corner'!"
"Eeeh… The name kind lame. Mimo-chan, can you think something better than that?", complain Shikaco.
"Really? I thought it was interesting", defend Pile and somehow makes Soramaru irritated.
"Can we started this corner already?", asked Nanjolno.
"Hihihihi~ Someone looks impatient~", tease Kussun.
"Don't get it wrong, Kussun. I-I just want this... to finish quickly. I-I have... Never mind", a blush can be seen in Nanjolno face. She somehow tries to keep something from her friends. Especially towards Kussun.
"Eh?", somehow Nanjolno reaction makes Kussun become curious to her.
"OK. So, what are you waiting for? C'mon start already before this nico nama end"
After hearing Mimorin cue all of them starting to search something for their "chocolate". Somehow the content of this corner turn into something simpler then as it used to be because the members begin complaining and the staff doesn't have a choice to give them some dispensation. By providing them several chocolates so they only need to decorated this chocolate according to their taste. Rather than ask them to make this chocolate from the start.
"There is lot of stuff in here. There is even an ice cream in here! Hmph~ It's delicious! Emitsun, tried it!"
"Woah, this looks so good. Eh? Can we really eat this?", asked Emitsun curiously. As she looking towards the staff and get a nod from them approving her.
"Sora-chan. You are supposed to make something for your partner. Not eating the cake!", said Pile as she take the cake from Soramaru hand.
"They said we can eat this. So I'm eating this cake before it got waste. Anyone wants it?", as she offering the cake to her friends.
"W-we're…on diet…"
"I see. Then… Itadakimasu!"
"Sora-chan!"
"Kussun… Are you okay? You didn't sound like you at all"
"What do you mean, Nanchan? I'm totally okay. I… I just don't have appetite. T-that's all"
"Really? Because you look unwell to me. Ah! Could be you having a fever? Eh? That's strange your temperature seems normal to me? But… your face? It's so red. A-are you sure… you're okay?", asked Nanjolno.
Nanjolno looks very worried with Kussun condition. She even checks up Kussun temperature by put her own forehead into Kussun forehead. But without her realizing; her little action makes Kussun can't think straight anymore as the distance between them became so close that she can see Nanjolno lips in front of her that somehow look very tempting in her eyes. And it makes her face blushing furiously. She even doesn't have courage to look into Nanjolno face who coming in closer to her face that looks so beautiful and gorgeous in her eyes. 'A-aah... W-what should I do?' Asked Kussun as she realized how embarrassing their situation is and she just want to get out from this situation very quickly.
Kussun then decide to escape from this embarrassing situation by coming back to her sit. But before she can executing her plan suddenly a gentle and caring hand was already in her shoulder stopping her in her own track. She then turned around her face and meet with Nanjono face once again that somehow look very sad and quite disappointed with something. Kussun then feel guilty with she have done just now as she trying to push away Nanjolno who concerned with her condition. "Nancha-" Before she can say anything she can see Nanjolno face just inches away from her. With those charming eyes. She didn't said anything; she just looking at Kussun brown eyes while both of her hands cupping Kussun face gently. And because of this little action it makes Kussun poor heart begin beating rapidly especially if she so close with those beautiful faces that has been invading her mind these days. 'Kyaaa! N-Nanchan…S-she is so close! I-I can even feel her sweet breath in my face! I-if it keeps on like this... I-I can't think straight anymore! M-mou, Nanchan you're so unfair!'
"Mou! Nanchan baka!", as she pushed away Nanjolno from her.
"Eh?! I-I'm... sorry..."
"T…That's unexpected…", said Emitsun who looked dumbfounded with unusual attics in front her eyes.
"Yeah…That's definitely…unexpected"
"That's kind true. She never rejected Nanjolno approached. She evens the one who always initiated it by flirting with her. Or by teasing her. But this… Hehehehe. Could it be?", a mischievous smile can be seen in Rippi face.
"Seem so. Well, at least there is an improvement in their relationship. Compare to those two", reply Soramaru with the same teasing manner as Rippi.
"Improvement? What are you talking about?", asked Pile.
"Haah… Nothing. By the way, Pile… What is this? A parfait? You know what we should do, aren't you?"
"O-of course I know!"
"Then... Why a parfait? You can at least decorate this chocolate with something gorgeous. Rather making something completely new"
"I-if I just…only decorating this chocolate… i-it doesn't sound like…a valentine gift. So…I…you know… decide to make something… even though it's not…as beautiful as yours…", said Pile quietly.
Pile look so embarrassed after she said all those words in front of Soramaru. She even didn't expect to be this close with her in this valentine; even though she already planning something special just for her but she doesn't have a courage to confessed it. In the end when the valentine comes, she can only regretting everything she did. Unexpectedly luck is in Pile's side. When she thought she will get others member name somehow she end up with Soramaru name on her hand. And this is will be her best chance to redeem her mistake by making something for her.
Even though it's just barely a whisper in her ears but Soramaru can hear every words that coming from Pile mouth very clearly. And hearing those words makes her can't stop loving this gorgeous, amusing, and dishonest ojou-sama who so sweet to her. 'Guess…She didn't forget at all' Thought Soramaru as she looking towards Pile direction with her earnest smile. She then embracing this cute ojou-sama from behind by wrapping her arms around Pile slender waist and pulled her very slowly into her own body. Because of that sudden pull; Pile begin losing her balance and ends up sitting on Soramaru lap.
"I don't know to whom you're making this parfait. But… This specially-made parfait by you. I'm not going to let anyone to taste it… except me" Said Soramaru seductively with her husky voice. And somehow it really works towards Pile because after she hearing Soramaru words her face began blushing furiously. She didn't expect Soramaru words can take a great effect towards to her as she begin covering up her whole face with both her hand and she even can't look at those sincere and lovely eyes that been looking at her for a while. Seeing Pile cute reaction makes Soramaru want to tease her more than it used to be. She then closing in her face to Pile that makes Pile can feel the warm breathing come through from Soramaru and it makes her face become redder than before. Of course Soramaru saw this from the corner of her eyes and she pull one of Pile's hand so she can look into those two adorable eyes again that look so amazing to her; seeing those sincere eyes makes her noticing what she really want it all this time and somehow it makes her really happy.
"Looks like both you and I were alike" Said Soramaru as she showing her sweet smile to Pile.
"Hah? What are you talking about?", asked Pile.
"Here. Isn't this kind strange? Like there is something… that can't be explained that was pulling us together… like this", as she show her paper to Pile.
"Yeah. Like a magnet… Hmph- Hahahaha"
"Hahahaha. Ow, my stomach hurts. Maybe that is the reason why we are so alike. Even though I'm more into silly side where you…"
"More into serious side?", said Pile. She then leaning her head into Soramaru shoulder as she holding dear Soramaru hands that keep her warm and safe with her embrace.
"Already? That fast. The corner not ends yet and… both of you already begin flirting with each other. Isn't that to fast? We even not done yet~", tease Kussun.
"Yeah, Sora-chan. At least wait until those two finish with their skit. Then… you can have Pile. I… mean the parfait", add Rippi. That makes Kussun and Shikaco can't stop laughing.
"Hey, both of you be quiet!"
"Sora-chan, calm down. They just tease you. Kussun, which one do prefer? A white chocolate with a fresh fruit on top of it or… you prefer this chocolate truffle cookies?", as she showing two delicious looking dessert in front of Kussun.
"Nanchan. Both of them look gorgeous. But… I will take this", reply Kussun nonchalantly. As she taking a small chocolate bar beside Nanjolno and put inside her mouth before she continue her work.
"Yoshinon. You need to be honest with her. Or… you will end up eating the small gift that you preparing for her", said Shikaco as poking Nanjolno cheek.
"How did you know that I buy something for her?", asked Nanjolno.
"Nanchan, you're easy to read. Like Sora-chan", answer Rippi.
"Really? I-I didn't know that. Rippi, I thought you're going to be ignoring Shikaco all day. So, why you acting so close all of sudden?", asked Nanjolno curiously.
"... Ah, Ucchi is making a move now", Rippi then dodge the question to her by change their attention toward Ucchi.
"Suzu-chan~ Aaaa… What do you think? Is it good enough? Or I need to add something?"
"Hmph. It's really good. You don't need to add something. Unless you wan-"
"DONE! Now, we can continue with the next part right? Let me see~ Confessing your love? Ok , I got it. Ahem. K-Kotori-chan. I-I actually…want to say something to you… I… I… I think I gain a weight from eating too much! Could you talk to Umi-chan so she will not give me cruel punishment like that time! I-I even prepare a chocolate for you. Onegai, Kotori-chan~"
Suddenly the room become fell to silent after hearing Emitsun confession of love. Rather than a romantic type of confession like in those romantic movie that will makes your eyes tearing up ; Emitsun confession of love is turned out into a silly confession. It may not something she expecting it but this side of her is what makes Ucchi can't stop to loving this person who really kind and sweet to her. She may a little clumsy but behind that clumsiness she can see how hard worker she is by showing her calm manner and her loyalty towards her beloved fans. Maybe that is the reason why she is the leader of this group.
'Even in this kind of situation. She still thinks something silly as that. Emitsun, Emitsun. You never change' Thought Ucchi as she look into Emitsun. Emitsun who notice Ucchi gaze towards her return it with her usual sincere smile. Seeing that sincere smile makes Ucchi heart begins beating rapidly. She kind feels sad with herself as she think negatively about her. She begin regretting everything she done just know because she know no matter how clueless Emitsun is with her approach she still care with her; if not why she acting out like that unless there something bugging her. 'Time to end all of this. I just need to brave. I'll see her and tell her why I'm acting like this. And... if she not angry with me. I-I will give this to her'
"WHAT?!"
"W-What is it? D-Did I doing something wrong?", asked Emitsun.
"W-well. Rather than confessing… it more likes you bragging Kotori to help Honoka from Umi's wrath", explain Mimorin.
"Can't you think something better than that?", said Sormaru.
"W-well…There is nothing good come to my mind. S-sorry"
"Hm- Hahahaha… Emitsun, that's really funny. I loved it. So... this is for me?", Ucchi then take the chocolate.
"A-ah. Y-yes. T-this chocolate... I made it especially for you. Well... Not entirely. I-I just made the decoration... the rest already prepared by... the staff", explain Emitsun.
"It may be true…But that still your effort to get my attention. So I'll take this lovely chocolate with me. In return…Don't go anywhere after this because I've something special just for you. Ah, Mimo-chan-", Ucchi then turn around and walking towards Mimorin. Emitsun looks speechless as she doesn't quite understand what is going on here but one thing for sure she will get something from Ucchi. And she can't wait until this day is over.
"Okay, I'm next. Ma- R-Rippi, what are you doing?!"
"Shhh! You can have Pile's parfait later! Now it's time for the main attraction!"
"But… I already prepare all of this…", said Soramaru. As she looking into her gorgeous chocolate that specially prepared for Pile.
"Sora-chan. It can wait. But those two… it will be one of the rarest moment we going to see. Everyone prepare your phone!", order Pile as she taking out her own phone.
"GOT IT!"
"HEY! T-These kids. A-ahahaha. Kussun, just ignore them. T-they a little bit excited with this valentine event. Especially Pile-chan. S-she even looking around the town just to find a perfect gift for Sora-chan"
"Why you tell her about that?! Mou!", yelled Pile.
"P…Pile-chan…"
"Eeeh…I-I'll give it to you later. N-now you can have this…", as she giving the parfait to Soramaru.
"Pile-chan, arigatou!"
"I'm feeling jealous now. Mimo-chan, we should find our valentine partner. Before we ended alone without anyone else in this day that fill with love and affection", said Nanjolno.
"Thank you for your offer, Nanjou-san. But… you already have your own partner. Don't make her wait"
"W-wha?"
Nanjolno look confused right now. She doesn't have a clue what Mimorin trying to say to her. She then looks up towards her friends looking for an answer but rather than an answer she is expecting for; Nanjolno meet with a kind and gentle smile directing her. It maybe just her imagination but she can feel it that each one of her friends trying to tell her something. And she knows it really important; but she doesn't have a clue what is it until she feeling a tug on her blazer. Nanjolno turn around her face only to meet with a heart shaped box that wrapped in blue and violet ribbon along with a same matching color Hydrangea flower adorned it.
Nanjolno look astonished with these beautiful arrangements and it makes her moved with this lovely gift. It really moved her that makes her eyes begin tearing up; before her tears can fall down to her cheek she wipe her own tears with her hands. Nanjolno look at the person who giving this lovely and gorgeous chocolate. Behind those hear shaped box she can see a certain young woman with her short shoulder light brown hair who look very nervous that she didn't dare to look at Nanjolno face directly. Nanjolno then come forward to Kussun and when she is close enough she held Kussun hand as showing her usual smile that felt with sincerity on it. And without she expecting Nanjolno wrapping her arms around her waist and embracing her into a hug; Kussun begin blushed furiously as she didn't expected to being held protectively like this by Nanjolno.
She can hear a melodious sound coming from inside her and Nanjolno body. Their heartbeat is beating rhythmically that create a symphony melody; this beautiful sound enchanted Kussun towards Nanjolno and without she realizing she already wrapping Nanjolno closer to her. "The Hydrangea. Is it how you express your gratefulness and heartfelt feelings for me?" Kussun buried her face into Nanjolno chest. She intends to confess what she really thinks towards the small senpai but she doesn't know how to express it until she heard from her mother about the meaning behind Hydrangea flower. So, she put this flower along with the chocolate as her way to say thank you. But unexpectedly Nanjolno can see the meaning behind those flowers very easily.
"Y-yes. B-but! I-if you... don't want it... I'm okay with it"
"Who said I don't want it? I'll take your special gift for me. And here. I don't have time to wrap it because of my tight schedule so I can only give you... this", said Nanjolno as she give Kussun small pink heart shaped chocolate box. Along with another chocolate bar with a simple engraving 'Dear Kussun. Thank You' on top of it.
"Nanchan, thank you"
"Mimo-chan your turn now!", said Emitsun excited.
"Eh?! Why I must do this too? Am I supposed to be judge for this corner?", as she trying to defend herself.
"It's true but it sound doesn't fair if you didn't doing the same like us", as Ucchi begin convince her to join them.
"Then how about them? They didn't do what supposed to do for this corner"
"You mean this… Kayo-chin~ Kayo-chin~ Look nyaa! Today I am receiving a lot of chocolates from our friends. It's so many... I wonder… can I finish this just by myself nyaa? Ah! Kayo-chin, let me share it with you so I can try Kayo-chin chocolate~", as Rippi begin using her Rin's voice starting a skit between her and Shikaco.
"Rin-chan, I'll help you. But you don't need to finish all of this today. I mean… I can keep my chocolate in my place and giving you later when you have finished with these chocolates. How is it?"
"But… I want to try Kayo-chin right now…", said Rippi as she looking at Shikaco with her pleading look.
"Ah… Here! I'm so sorry for not preparing something beforehand but… this chocolate show how important you're to me. I…I even planning something… if you didn't like my present…"
"Ara~ Are you expecting my gift, Shika-chan? Sorry. You must be wait until we finish our nico nama"
"Seems this corner almost offers. Everyone back to your sit because we going to decide who will be the winner. Now let me s-", said Mimorin. She then looked at everyone chocolate and before she can decide who the winner is Ucchi already planning something behind her back. With the assistance of the staff.
"Mimo-chan, here~ And say this line in front of camera"
"W-wha? F-fine… Hah…Valentine… In this romantic day I never thought I will end alone like this. But don't worries I still have Kotori present with me. I wonder what it is. Eh? Neko mimi?...Okay. Area clear. Nyaaa nyaaa nyaaa~ T-this is so embarrassing", said Mimorin.
"Hahahaha. EH?! The winner for this corner is everyone?! Then… congrats?"
"It was unexpected but this is really fun. Even though this may be our last nico nama. All of us including the staff will never forget this experience. And lastly…"
"Happy Valentine!"
~On the way home~
After they finished with their special nico nama; nine of them decide to walk around the city before going back to their home. They passing by a small playground and stop in there for while for taking some picture. Where they intend to put in their social media account. Even though some of the pictures look a little bit silly. Then they continue their walked again until they see a park that adorned by the moonlight that shine very brightly; as it wasn't enough they can even see a magnificent beauty of this city in the night with their panoramic and amazing view. Light begin illuminating this bustling city into one magnificent display. Each one of them looks amazed with this beautiful display that makes them enchanted and astonished by this natural beauty.
"This is the best valentine I ever had" Said Soramaru as she looking at the sky. She felt something warm entwining her hand and this warm sensation makes her feeling happy as this certain person not as dense as she thinks. Because without she noticing Pile already close with her protecting her from the cold weather with her jacket; as they sharing their warm bodies beneath this winter cold. 'Hihihi. She is sweeter than I think. Guess I'll cancel my plan for next week' Thought Soramaru secretly. Soramaru then pulled Pile cotton scarf that makes her face just inches way with Soramaru; and before Pile can said anything she felt something soft and sweet in her own lips. It didn't take long for Pile to realize what this sweet sensation is that been lingering in lips because she know very well that innocent smile in front her. And Pile can stare at her with her blushing face.
"I'm so glad seeing you two love dovey like this. But… You didn't forget about your promise, aren't you?", said Mimo as she wink at Soramaru.
"What? Promise? Sora-chan. You better explain it to me. Now!"
"Mimo-chan! Why you must ruined everything! W-well… I'll explain it later!", Soramaru then run away from the park. Leaving her friends behind.
"Sora-chan, comeback!", said Pile as she chasing Soramaru.
"So…Shall we go now?", asked Emitsun timidly.
"Hmm~ Let's go. Bye everyone. We must go now. Emitsun, I know a good restaurant near here. Want to try?"
"Sure, I love too. Ah! I almost forgot! Hop! With this on you don't have to worry to get a sick in this cold weather. Because I already put a charm in this scarf. Hehehehe~"
"Thank you so much, Emitsun. I'll treasured it"
Only five of them remain in this park. They don't know what to say after their friends leaving them speechless with their sweet flirting. Shikaco then took Rippi hands and begin walking away towards the exit. Her face is blushing furiously as she mumbling some incoherent words that make Rippi look very shy and can only reply her with a small squeeze on Shikaco hand. "I-I love too. I-it's been a while since both of us hanging out together" A sincere smile can be seen from Shikaco face as she leading Rippi to her home.
"Shika-chan, could you wait in here for a while? Nanchan, I already give my chocolate to Kussun. You just asked her for yourself. I'm waiting for your return in White Day. Bye"
"W-WHA!"
"C'mon. Let's go~"
"I-it's a long story… J-just forget about it, okay?"
"Eh? Why? I like that type of Nanchan. Who is acting like a spoiled kid. You're really cute. I can imagine your pouting face when me and Rippi teasing you on the Twitter"
"Mou. S-stop it already… I-it's embarrassing…"
"I kind understand how Nico felt right now… Well… I'm going now. I don't want to ruin your sweet moment so I'll take my leave now. Bye"
"Bye, Mimo-chan. And thanks for your advice. It really wo- N-Nanchan…"
Kussun felt a warm sensation around her body. This sensation makes her heart beating ecstatically; she feeling safe and happy just being embraces by these sweet and gentle arms who always reaching out to her whenever she needs help or accompany her when she felt alone. She knows it since the first time regarding their issue; before they begin planning all of this for these four dense women who doesn't know what to do for Valentine day including Nanjolno itself from Pile. She felt a little bit angry and that is why she is teasing her in the Twitter.
She actually doesn't mind as she knows what kind of person Nanjolno is. But she is wrong because this Nanjolno is not just sweet but also endearing that makes her begin flustered with their close proximity. She even can felt Nanjolno warm breath in her skin that makes her feeling ticklish and makes her could not stand up straight as she is being enchanted by Nanjolno's charm. Nanjolno then held Kussun face carefully using her hand and turn Kussun's face to facing her way. Nanjolno moving in closer make her and Kussun distance become close. After a couple seconds, she then leaves away from Kussun as she taking Kussun bag along with her own stuff. Kussun then tracing down her finger toward her lips. It may be brief but she will never forget this sweet moment. "Nanchan, wait!"
