It was only one more day before the big day. Over the past few days, the sisters enjoyed each other's company, taking advantage of their vacations. Crowded places were a no-go due to Ichika's and Yotsuba's popularity, but they did their best to blend in with the crowd.

They took a trip to their old high school to meet the teachers. During their trip, they would come to find out about the new principal that had been taking the helm. It was the History Teacher. Having had surgery on his buck teeth and sporting a wrongly colored wig, while doing his best to look professional, he would still lack the experience. He also held a grudge to the one student who could outsmart him. However, the sisters would see the passion he put forward in his job. Didn't stop Yotsuba from laughing in his face for his appearance.

Miku occasionally had to plan with Fuutarou, but at that point they left the final steps to the professional planners. However, there was one more thing they had to check before it was all said and done. In the church, Miku was putting on her dress to make sure it would fit. Today, specifically, she had spent a good amount of time there.

Miku:"This looks great."

Fuutarou:"Are you sure I can't take a look?"

Fuutarou was standing outside, also making sure his suit fit.

Miku:"I hear it's bad luck to see the dress before the actual vows."

Fuutarou:"Hm."

Fuutarou looked to see a wide selection of dresses lined up.

Fuutarou:"I mean, I can see plenty of dresses just fine."

Miku:"But I'm not in any of them."

Fuutarou:"..."

"Sir, do you have a fever? You're getting awfully red."

Fuutarou:"I'm fine. Just took a trip to the sun real quick."

"...?"

Miku:"Fufu~"

Fuutarou:"In any case, you really had to change into all of these? Some of those designs look pretty out there."

Miku:"I was hesitant, but dad did go out of his way to get them all for me. He wasn't sure which one would look the best on me."

Fuutarou:"So he just bought all of them. How indecisive. No wonder you've been here all day."

Miku:"Well, I haven't just been putting on dresses. But, due to that, I've had to take pictures of me in each one to send to him. He's quite good at picking apart fashion. I guess Nino really took after him."

Fuutarou:"What an overbearing dad."

Miku:"It just shows he cares, like you and your dad do with Raiha."

Fuutarou:"Oh, come on, we're not that bad."

Miku:"Hm…"

Fuutaoru:"Okay, I'm not that bad. The stalking was all him!"

Miku:"I'll need to stop you from getting worse in the future. Oh, and you better not ask dad for the photos I'm sending."

Fuutarou:"Tch, you're really teasing me here."

Miku:"You have an imagination, use it to picture what I'll look like tomorrow."

Fuutarou:"I've already tried, but I know the final product will blow away even my greatest expectations."

Miku:"..."

"Ma'am, do you have a fever? You're awfully red."

Miku:"I'm fine, I just took a trip to the sun myself after hearing such rave reviews."

"...?"

Fuutarou:"Haha."

After looking over his suit, Fuutarou was satisfied with it. Once he took it off, he was allowed to move around again.

Fuutarou:"You still have a few dresses left."

Miku:"You could always try a kimono."

Fuutarou:"Maybe for the after-party. I'll be waiting for you outside. Keep rocking those dresses."

Miku:"Yeah, yeah."

As Fuutarou left, Miku looked at the mirror. After some time, she started blushing.

Miku:"...Hehe, this is really happening."

Fuutarou was standing outside the church, looking at a piece of paper.

Fuutarou:"Here's hoping everyone got these in time for them to make it."

Fuutarou:"I hope nobody picks absent. I know I haven't been the greatest person towards them, but…"

He looked to the sign at the front, advertising the wedding.

Fuutarou:"I want everyone to be there for her."

Fuutarou raised his head and stared at the clouds.

Fuutarou:"Damn, I'm still so selfish."

Miku:"Yes, you are."

Fuutarou:"Gah!"

Surprised by Miku, he covered his eyes and moved away.

Miku:"Don't worry, I'm back to normal."

Fuutarou:"...Ah, yeah. Well, I haven't seen you in that outfit before. Just by how it has more than 2 colors, I assume Nino and Ichika picked it out."

Miku:"It was Itsuki, actually. Ichika's choice had too much cleavage showing and Nino's was too tight."

Fuutarou:"Hmm…"

Miku:"Please don't attack me with those lewd eyes."

Fuutarou:"...Just thinking about how good that looks on you. Meanwhile, I'm stuck wearing white shirts for all eternity."

Miku:"Just like in high school. But, that's normal for you."

Fuutarou:"Yeah, the outfit I remember the most was your high school uniform...That fit you really well…"

Miku:"Am I witnessing the birth of a fetish?"

Fuutarou:"Only for you."

Miku:"Jeez...I could put it on later…"

Fuutarou:"And I'm the weird one."

Miku:"I never said I wasn't weird either."

Miku walked forward and booped Fuutarou's nose.

Miku:"And I have you to blame."

Fuutarou:"You say that like you weren't weird already...Huh?"

Fuutarou noticed something on Miku's ears.

Fuutarou:"You wear earrings now?"

Miku:"Oh, these."

Fuutarou:"I hope Itsuki was also the one to poke those holes, I can't imagine Nino being gentle and Yotsuba would cause you to lose the whole ear."

Miku grabbed the earrings and ripped them off.

Fuutarou:"Ah! I don't think you're supposed to do that!...Oh."

Miku:"They're fake. Ichika was adamant about me wearing some, but I refused to wear real ones. My ears are pretty sensitive, so we settled on these."

Fuutarou:"I see."

Fuutarou went over and started rubbing her ears.

Miku:"F-Fuutarou!?"

Fuutarou:"These are pretty soft."

Miku:"S-Stop that~"

Fuutarou:"Your whole body is pretty soft, huh. Marshmallows all around."

Miku grabbed Fuutarou's hands.

Miku:"N-Not in public. If you want to, I can always show you in pri-"

Miku stopped talking as she developed the look of death on her face.

Fuutarou:"What's wrong?"

Hands shaking, she pointed to her right. Fuutarou followed her hand. His eyes widened and he let go of her ears. They saw a car with four figures inside.

...

Nino:"Took you long enough to notice."

Itsuki:"W-We came to pick you up."

Yotsuba:"We were going to call out, but we all agreed that we should keep watching."

Ichika:"A very nice show indeed."

Fuutarou:"...How long?"

Ichika and Yotsuba got out of the car and started mimicking Fuutarou and Miku.

Ichika:"Damn, I'm still so selfish."

Yotsuba:"Yes, you are."

Ichika:"Gah!"

Yotsuba:"Don't worry, I'm back to normal."

Miku/Fuutarou:"That's the whole damn conversation!"

Nino:"It's your fault for being so blind to what's around you. Being in your own little world. And I can totally be gentle when poking holes...I just don't like doing it to myself, you hear!?"

Itsuki:"That last line...Miku, please, at least wait until tomorrow!"

As Itsuki put her head in her hands out of embarrassment, the couple stood there, defeated.

Miku/Fuutarou:"...We will never talk about this again."

After begrudgingly getting in the car, the teasing wouldn't stop. But in all the embarrassment, Miku was thinking about something else.

{Fuutarou:"Traffic, huh? I do have somewhere I want to go on that day…"}

Miku:[I wonder what he was talking about...I have to ask him...But once we're free from this torment!]

Yotsuba:"N-Not in public. If you want to, I can always show you in pri-"

Miku:"Please stop!"
