Chapter 6

Group Talk

While Miya is at work, Risa had called her friends, Sara and Nanami to hang out at her house for the day. The three of them were planning to hang out for a while to talk about some stuff, but mostly about their lovers, like they usually do. Risa is excited about that, but sometimes, talking about some personal stuff is a bit embarrassing for her. Either way, she loved hanging out with her two friends.

Risa had prepared some tea when the clock strikes 2:00 pm. The time when her two friends should arrive. When she poured the last cup of tea, the door bell rings. Risa immediately runs towards the door. Both Sara and Nanami greet her with happy smiles on their faces.

"Hey, Risa-chan!" Sara cheers with a wave.

"Hi, Risa-san!" Nanami greets.

"Hey, Sara-san, Nanami-san," Risa greets back as she lets the two in.

"Here! I brought snacks!" Sara holds up a bag full of pork buns.

"Awesome!" Nanami says. "I always wanted to try one of those!"

"Me, too!" Risa agrees.

"Well then, let's get going!" The model cheers with a fist pumped in the air.

The girls trot over towards the living room and enjoy the pork buns along with the tea Risa made. They talk for about an hour while eating the pork buns and having a good time together. The pink haired girl is glad that she invited those two over. There were so many things that she can talk about regarding her beloved.

And then, as if on cue, Sara is the first to talk.

"So, Kaede-chan and I are planning our next photo shoot in Tokyo!" she says. "My manager insisted on having us together to make magazine covers get more attention! Best of all, we get to wear wedding dresses! Oh, it's like we're newlyweds already~!"

Risa smiles. "That's great to hear, Sara-san." She turns toward the pig-tailed girl. "What about you, Nanami-san?"

"Well…Yuuna-sama and I are doing well," Nanami replies. She blushes at mentioning her name. "We've been dating for quite a while and she's been taking me to some amazing places, including a trip to the beach."

"That's so wonderful!" Sara says.

"I'm glad you two are having a good time," Risa adds.

Then, both of the girls turn toward the pink haired girl.

"And what about you, Risa-chan~?" The model says. "What have you and Miya-chan been doing?"

Ria blushes furiously as she fiddles with the hem of her skirt. "We've been…doing well. I mean, since the tests have been going around, we haven't been with each other because of studying. I had missed spending time with her, but luckily we contacted each other after the test was over and went on a date at the park."

"How did it go?" Sara asks.

"We just went for a friendly walk and sat on the bench together," Risa replies. "Then…then she did some embarrassing things to me and I had no choice but to leave." She blushes from the memory. "It was…too much for me to handle, so I told her I would go get us some drinks."

"And then what happened?" Nanami inquires.

"Then, when I brought the drinks and came back, Miya was with some other girl."

Sara gasps. "No way!"

"Was that girl being mean?" Nanami asks.

Risa frowns. "She was. Our classmate, Shouko, had feelings for Miya and didn't even care about us being a couple. She just wanted Miya for herself. At first, I thought Miya was cheating on me. But then…as I approached closer to them, I heard the most wonderful thing: Miya was defending me. She was saying all this nice stuff about me, how I was a better girlfriend than she would be and such." She blushes as she smiles. "Miya told her about every nice thing that she could ever thing of about me. That made my heart race. I knew that Miya wouldn't cheat on me for a minute just from hearing her say that. Shouko-san was flustered by us being together and just left. I was very happy that Miya defended me like that. We remained in the park until sunset after that."

Sara and Nanami smile happily.

"How wonderful!" Sara exclaims.

"Miya-san is so brave!" Nanami says.

The model puts her hand on her friend's shoulder. "You two really are the Best Couple in all of St. Michael's! Nanami-chan and I are going to continue to support you two!"

"Agreed!" The pig-tailed girl agrees.

Risa smiles at both of her friends. "Thank you, girls. That means a lot to me."

For the rest of the afternoon, the girls talked some more and had fun watching some TV. Pretty soon, the girls had to leave and Sara and Nanami bid farewell to their friend. Risa closes the door and takes the time to clean up the room. The girls had so much fun that they had forgotten about the mess they made, but lucky for Risa, it was only a little mess.

When she's finished with the cleaning, she looks over on her phone and stares at a picture of her and Miya together, holding hands. Risa is the one who took the selfie. She blushes deeply and smiles at the picture.

"Oh, Miya," she says. "I love you so much…"

"Awww~!" a familiar voice says from behind her. "That's so sweet of you to say that, Risa~!"

The pink haired girl jumps from the sudden voice and hides her phone behind her back. "M-M-M-Miya! I-I didn't know you'd be here!"

"Of course you did~" Miya says. "I told you earlier that I'd come back here to visit you after work, right?"

"Y-you did say that, but…"

"Oh, were you looking at the picture of us just now~?"

Risa blushes furiously and turns away to hide it. "I-It's none of your business!"

"Why not? We are girlfriends, right~?" Miya peers closer to her lover. "Am I right, Risa~?"

The pinkette bites her lip as she blushes even more and reluctantly presents her phone to her. "H-here. I-it's not like I was staring at it just for fawning over it or anything."

"Oh~! I remember this," Miya says. "You took this picture while we were taking a walk in the city. It was one of our best dates ever."

"Y-yes, it was." Risa can't help but smile at the memory. She then feels arms wrap around her and being pecked on the cheek. "M-M-Miya!?"

"What~? Can't your girlfriend show some affection after a long day at work?"

Risa blushes again, bites her lip as she glances at the floor. She then reluctantly kisses the dark-haired girl on the lips and quickly pulls away while turning her head.

"I…I love you…Miya," Risa says quietly.

"I'm sorry, what's that?" Miya teases. "Can you say that again, just a bit louder? Oh, hold that thought while I get my recorder on my phone."

"Ah, geez!" Risa shouts as she puts her hands on her head and shaking it roughly. "That's enough already!"
"Hehe~! This is the best moment after coming home from work~!" Miya says.

A/N: To be honest, I haven't played "Maidens of Michael" nor "Snow White's Knight", but I have heard from some images and people that Miya has a job or something. I don't know. And to what Sara, Nanami and Risa call each other, it's just a guess. I have also found out that they are a group of friends that like to talk to each other about their love lives and such. So, I thought I might include that in there.

And also, a quick shoutout to Kuu-chan. She's been the reason why I'm back into the Sono Hanabira spirit~! Her reviews and stories inspired me to write more stories for this series, so I would like to thank her for that. ;)

Feel free to give out any suggestions, questions or concerns and don't forget to review~! ;)
