Hi! Hello. Just Another Love Story has not been updated in a while; however, it was not abandoned.
As of 2/4/2019, THE REST OF THE STORY IS COMPLETE! :tada:
The remaining chapters will be uploaded at regular intervals.
Because of the long intermission since the last update, I cannot expect or even ask anyone to read the first half of the story again. And so, I did so you don't have to. What follows is a brief summary of the story up to the ninth chapter, in one to three sentences per chapter.
If you have not read the previous chapters: Spoilers ahead!
Chapter 1: The Musings of a Scriptwriter, in which Blanc muses on her success, herself, and her script. This is the night before Film Club shoots the opening scene of the planned third movie, and the night Blanc decides to start the movie with a passionate act of love.
Chapter 2: Ex-Director, in which Tamsoft bails during the recording of the opening scene, and Blanc and Neptune have a heated argument in private over Blanc's failure to communicate her ideas to the rest of the club. Neptune tries to be agreeable, but when Blanc goes too far, she snaps and strips Blanc of her position as writer and director before telling her to leave the room. Blanc goes back to her room and realizes she fucked up.
Chapter 3: Meetingless, in which the club (sans Blanc) meets the next day, everyone (sans Neptune) unaware that the club is at risk of dissociation. Noire, the last to leave when the meeting ends prematurely, notices that Neptune is down and lets her know that she's there for her. Noire then lifts Neptune's hand, gives her a high five, and walks out of the room.
Chapter 4: Noire to Be Found, in which Noire accidentally ends up confronting Blanc in the library, debunking Neptune's flimsy excuse for Blanc's absence. Noire tells Blanc that if she values her friendship with Neptune, she had better get her shit together and talk to her.
Chapter 5: Final Cut, in which Neptune bumps into Nepgear and Uni in the hallway after class. Neptune evades Nepgear's offer to hang out and returns to her room, where she drops her cheerful act and starts to cry when the past few days hit her all at once.
Chapter 6: 888-NEP-TUNE, in which Blanc goes about her day dazed and afraid that Neptune will never speak to her again, because all her calls and texts have been ignored, and she cannot find Neptune anywhere. After class, Uni confronts her in the hallway, frustrated because Neptune is avoiding not only Blanc but everyone, before storming away. Desperate, Blanc begs her for Neptune's room number, but to no avail. However, Plutia hears her and provides.
Chapter 7: Lost and Found, in which Noire visits Neptune in her room after school, only to call and find out that Neptune went for a walk and got lost in Gamicademi's sprawling city. Neptune sits down in front of a caf , and a waitress shows her an unobtrusive kindness as she waits for Noire to show up and pick her up. The two return to Neptune's room and hang out the same as always, only for Neptune to kiss Noire on the cheek and tell her how she feels.
Chapter 8: Interlewd, in which nothing unusual happens between Neptune and Noire in that second-story room with a beautiful view of the city on the cusp of night.
Chapter 9: See You Tomorrow, in which Blanc knocks on the door of Neptune's apartment and tries to make amends, but her apology does not click, and Neptune bids her good night and closes the door. Blanc stands limply in front of Neptune's room for a short while, but she leaves when she hears Neptune speaking to Noire. Neptune tries to ignore the ominous feeling she has about her relationship with Noire for the sake of one more night.
Thank you for waiting. Thank you for giving this romantic drama another chance, even though it really is just another love story.
