Maki: Finally, someone who agrees with me that Talisman-san is going out of track! Candus98, hi five me.

Maki, why are you still here?

Rin: She just wanted to see what would happen to us nya~

Whatever, anyway this will be a chapter that makes Nico reflect on some things related to Umi.

Nico: Eh~ Nico needs to be in a romantic scene with that shivering wreck over there? *points to Umi who is shivering at a corner*

Know what? I give up, you guys can stay. I just want to write the chapter already...

Nico: Enya-chan doesn't own Nico at all!

Or the other Love Live characters as what Nico had missed out.

"Seriously, why the heck do we need to search for those two? I bet they're doing it as we speak!" Nico sighed, not the least bit happy that both herself and Umi were deployed to search for Rin and Hanayo.

"What if they're really lost? We still have to look for them even though they may be doing...that..." Umi said with a hushed voice, face becoming red as she imagined her two friends and fellow colleagues being intimate.

"Right... Anyway, where are we in th- KYAAAAH!" Nico said before screaming. She had unintentionally stepped out of the cliff as they were searching for Rin and Hanayo, causing her to plummet. Luckily for her, she landed in a lake, making it easier for Umi to save her.

"Nico! Hold on I'm coming!" Umi shouted to Nico while preparing to jump into the lake. Within a few seconds, Umi was right beside Nico. "Nico! Oh thank god you're fine!" Umi worriedly said, checking Nico's body for any sustained injuries.

"Hey Umi... Why did you love me?"

"Huh...?" Umi was surprised at Nico's unrelated question. What made her more puzzled was the fact that Nico was staring at her with a faraway look, as though she wasn't really paying any attention to Umi.

"I mean... Look at me, I'm just a stupid childish student who make you so freaking mad in the past! Like last year May when threw a ball at your face... Or take this year for example! I actually flicked my pen at you, so why do you still love someone like me?!" Nico sobbed, completely breaking down in front of her girlfriend. Umi said nothing, instead opting to hug Nico in an attempt to soothe her.

"Nico... I'll admit it, you did piss me off last year and this year. But then, your antics, your highly arrogant attitude are all just masks to cover your real side... Your kind and helpful side, your responsible side and most of all..." Umi reassured, before continuing her thoughts on Nico. "Your emotional but adorable side..." Once the last few words rolled off her mouth, Umi immediately kissed Nico, as though that kiss was a kiss to seal their relationship for all eternity.

"U-Umi-chan... Geez... We better get back..." Nico said, embarrassed at what had just happened. Umi nodded and carried Nico back bridal style, both forgetting their aim of locating Rin and Hanayo.

"Achoo!"

"Oh my, Nicocchi caught a cold... Never mind, both of you just stay near the fire."

"Thanks Nozomi..."

"Haa... Must we really light up the fireplace? Now Santa won't be able to enter the chimney..." All eyes turned to Maki who was still lamenting on the fact that Santa Claus won't be able to enter the chimney.

"Maki-chan, repeat that again nya~" Rin said. Umi, Nico and Maki all turned to face Rin and Hanayo, who were standing at the doorway.

"Rin, Hanayo, you're back. Where have the both of you been?" Eli asked, concerned about the fact that Umi and Nico couldn't find them.

"W-We're actually under one of the trees that was facing the lake that Umi and Nico were..." Hanayo stuttered out, not comfortable with being interrogated.

"Hanayo-chan, it's okay. By the way, did anything happen to Rin-chan?" Kotori asked, wanting to hear some juicy information about their disappearance. What she heard greatly disappointed her but brought shock to the others.

"Eh? But Maki-chan said that the pouch you took contained aphrodisiacs!" Honoka exclaimed. While Honoka was busy grilling Rin about her supposedly 'hot' night, Umi consumed a yellowed coloured sweet while getting some water for Nico. All of a sudden, her face turned red. Her breathing pace became more shallow with every second and the glass of water held securely in her hand fell to the floor with a loud crash.

"Umi-chan?! What's wrong?!" Kotori panicked, worrying about her best friend's sudden behaviour.

"Red face, shallow breathing... Oh no... Umi-chan ate the aphrodisiacs!" Maki summed up, amethyst eyes going wide with shock.

"Eh?! But you said they were in a green... pouch..." Nico said before noticing a lighter shade of green pouch on the table.

"Nicocchi, quickly bring her to your room! I'll give you some materials on how to have sex while you're at it!" Nozomi said, urging Nico to settle Umi's problem.

"I don't need to know how to do it damn it!"

"Haa... Okay then... Step one, remove Umi-chan's clothes." Nico said, uncertain on how to actually have sex despite going through it twice.

"N-No... Y-You're... supposed to... kiss me..." Umi panted out, unable to bear with the heat building up in her body.

"Like this?" Nico asked before inserting her tongue into Umi's half open mouth. She managed to dominate the older woman completely as Umi was too weak to battle against Nico's tongue.

"Step one completed. Next... Step two's removing clothes?" Nico asked, not fully confident in executing her next plan. Seeing that Umi was unable to remove her own clothes properly, Nico decided to assist in the removal.

"Hey hey Nozomi-chan, what are they doing now?" Honoka asked, outside of the room that Umi and Nico were in.

"Nicocchi's starting to remove Umi-chan's clothes..." Nozomi sighed, disappointed that Nico had not made much of a move. Both Kotori and herself her eavesdropping on their friends' somewhat intimate night. The rest of them opted to hear information from Nozomi and Kotori as they were too embarrassed to directly hear what was happening inside the room.

"A-Ah... N-Nico... D-Don't suck on me like that..." A moan escaped from the room, loud enough to be heard by Hanayo, who was the farthest from the room.

"Hmm~ Umi-chan likes it huh? Let's see... I'm supposed to go in here right?" Nico teased, her right hand hovering over Umi's panties but never directly touching it.

"N-Nico... S-Stop teasing me... I-I can't... hold it in..." Umi said in short gasps, her voice sounding increasingly pained.

"Fine fine. I'll give you what you want."

"Ngh?! N-Nico..."

"Okay, this is getting more personal so let's just get back."

"Elichi's a spoilsport! I'm not leaving until Umi-chan comes!"

"Nozomi-chan... Can we go to sleep? I need to drive tomorrow..." Nozomi heard this and turned to look at Maki, who was clad in nothing but an over sized shirt with a raccoon print and pink panties. She immediately pounced on her girlfriend before dragging Maki back to her room. The others saw this and took this as a sign to sleep. All except Kotori that is.

"Kotori-chaaan... I wanna sleep~ Stop being creepy and start following me to bed!" Honoka whined, unhappy that her grey haired lover was still listening on Umi's and Nico's 'hot' night.

"You go on ahead first then Honoka-chan." Kotori replied, not willing to budge. What she saw next instantly make her follow Honoka back to their bedroom. Honoka stripped all of her clothing, revealing her slightly toned body due to pounding mochi.

"Well if you don't wanna sleep with me, I can't force you right?" Honoka seductively asked before sauntering back to her bedroom, effectively enabling Nico privacy to 'cure' Umi.

"U-Umi-chan... Slow down!"

"Sorry, I-I can't stop my hips! Ahn!"

"U-Umi-chan, I-I'm coming!"

"Ah!" Silence ensued, leaving the two of them lying on the bed. Both were sweating and panting heavily after their two hour night session, leaving them exhausted.

"Hey Nico... Thanks for helping me to get rid of the aphrodisiac's effect..."

"N-No it's fine..." An awkward atmosphere soon settled as both of them had nothing else to say.

"Come here Nico, I want to wake up with you beside me..." Umi murmured, pulling Nico closer towards her body.

"I swear, one minute you're so innocent, the next minute you're back to your flirtatious self." Nico sighed before hugging Umi.

"Yes yes, whatever you say... I'll always love you?" Umi tried to appease her younger girlfriend, which was somewhat successful to a certain extent.

"I'll always love you too, but why does that sound like it's forced?" Nico asked, suspicion growing with every second.

'Nico over thinks things sometimes...' Umi thought before falling into a deep sleep.

Nico: WHAT THE F*CK WAS THAT?! REALLY, YOUR IDEA OF A ROMANTIC SCENE IS ME FALLING INTO WATER?! YOU B*TCH! *insert image of Nico strangling me*

Umi: Nico! Let Talisman-san go! Honestly, it wasn't that bad... At least you dried off...

Umi's right. Anyway, even if Nico does strangle me to death I'm still happy.

Umi: Oh? Why?

Cause I managed to obtain the SR Eli event card!

Nico: Oh right... Enya-chan plays SIF, how could I've forgotten?

Eli: Well, she's happy... Anyway Nico, she didn't say that you're going to be in a romantic scene. In fact, she said that you're going to reflect on your relationship.

Thanks for clearing up Eli, unfortunately I plan to involve you in some trouble in the next chapter...

Eli: I think I can wait till the next chapter to find out... Anyway, to all the readers out there please review!

Umi and Nico: See you till then!

Yep, see you guys soon...
