CHAPTER 3
Outside the haunted house, Natsumi and Tomoriru look at both Miyu and Agupon. Behind them, Akari mutters 'I can't' repeatedly as Maria tries to calm her down. "Courage test?" asked Natsumi. "Yeah, since it is summer and we just have a small break before next recording for our third album and second season of our anime," said Miyu. "Is it Mayuchi's idea since she is the only one that can think this type of thing," said Tomoriru. "Well," trailed Miyu, adverting her eyes. "It was Kaori's idea. Miyutan's idea is we go in pairs," said Chiemi. "But since we have extra..." trailed Miyu. "Who are you pairing up anyway?" asked Tomoriru. "Well, you both, Akarin with Chunrun, Mayuchi with Kaorin and Agupon with Chiemi," said Miyu. "So, you're the extra?" asked Tomoriru. "Yeah but I will be joining Agupon and Chiemi," said Miyu. "I can live with that but is it wise to bring her?" asked Natsumi, pointing towards Akari that still muttering 'I can't' repeatedly. "The manager wants all the member of Nijigasaki to enter so she doesn't have a choice," said Miyu. "Okay then, who will be the first in line?" asked Natsumi. "You both. Chunrun and Akarin will be next," said Miyu. Both of them glance towards each other and the entrance to haunted house. They take a deep breath and walk in. The sexy member of Nijugasaki smiles. 'Perfect' thinks Miyu.
"I don't want to go in there." Miyu sighs again. 'Forgot about that scardy cat' thinks Miyu as she looks at Akari. "Come on, Akarin. You need to face your fear," said Miyu. "I don't wanna," whined Akari. "Don't worry, Akarin. I can watch your back," said Maria. "Really?" asked Akari. Maria nods with a smile.
Meanwhile, inside the haunted house, Natsumi and Tomoriru arrive at the long corridor. "The reviews are correct. It has the atmosphere," said Tomoriru. "Yeah, I can feel scary," said Natsumi. Subconsciously, Tomoriru's right hand holds Natsumi's left hand that holds her hand tight. The jump scare here and there as they scream out of shock. They enter each stage inside haunted house and enjoying every level of horror even they still scream.
They arrive at the exit. Both of them laughing. "That was fun," said Tomoriru. "Yeah, it is really fun," said Natsumi. Before Tomoriru could say anything, Akari runs pass them, accidentally push Tomoriru. Setsuna's seiyuu tumblers towards Ai's seiyuu and their lips lock with a kiss. Maria gasps behind them. Kaori points her smartphone camera and snaps the picture. The duo separate from each other, fully blush. Maria smiles. "Let's move on. We're blocking other people," said Maria with a smile. The duo nods, still blushing.
Few hours later, Miyu, Mayu, Kaori, Maria, Akari (still shivering from fear), Agupon and Chiemi gather around, waiting for Natsumi and Tomoriru at the toilet. "Good job Kaorin," said Miyu. "I really want to keep this as momentum," said Kaori. "We will keep on with our plan to make them together," said Miyu. "So, what is the next plan?" asked Agupon. "Love tunnel. Perfect for that duo," said Miyu.
Natsumi and Tomoriru head towards them. "What is our next activity?" asked Natsumi. "Love tunnel," said Miyu. Natsumi shrugs again but Tomoriru looks at them blankly. "I have a feeling you're planing something on us," said Tomoriru. "I have no idea what you're talking about," said Miyu. "I'll bet," muttered Mayu. Karin's seiyuu looks at Kasumi's seiyuu with a 'I'll washi washi you later' smile. She swallows her salvia.
They head towards the Love Tunnel ride. Miyu pushes both Natsumi and Tomoriru towards the ride. "Enjoy yourself," said Miyu with a smile. The duo takes the ride as Mayu and Kaori jump on the ride behind them. Miyu looks at Akari that still hugging Maria. "Still shiver from that haunted house experience?" asked Miyu. "Everyone has their own fear that they can't conquer," said Agupon."I know that," said Miyu. "So don't force them to face it," said Agupon.
Inside the tunnel, none of them, saying anything, still in deep thought but already holding hands. 'I have a feeling that this is a set up from Miyutan to get us together' thinks Tomoriru. She moves her right hand to her lips. 'That kiss is just accidental but it feel so sweet' thinks Tomoriru. "Hey Tomoriru." Tomoriru looks at Natsumi. "Yeah," said Tomoriru. "Do you like the kiss?" asked Natsumi. Setsuna's seiyuu holds her lips again. "Yeah, do you?" asked Tomoriru. "Yeah. It gives me the feeling I never felt before," said Natsumi. "Yeah," said Tomoriru. 'Too bad it is just accidental' thinks Tomoriru.
Their ride comes to an end as the duo walks out. "That's was...interesting," said Tomoriru. "Yeah, very interesting," said Natsumi. "Glad both of you enjoy it," said Miyu. Kaori and Mayu walk out. "Man, that's creepy," said Mayu. "Maybe because you're not mature enough," teased Miyu. "Hey," pouted Mayu. "So where's next?" asked Natsumi. "Since we don't have much time, we end it with Ferris Wheel,' said Miyu. "I want to visit cosplay shop," said Kaori. "I want to join beauty contest," whined Mayu. "You can join after that," said Miyu. "Let them have fun. We can try Ferris Wheel before we head back," said Agupon. She looks at the others. "Okay, you girls have fun, we will meet at the Ferris Wheen before sunset," said Agupon. "Sound cool to me," said Natsumi as she pulls Tomoriru's hand and head towards nearby arcade.
