Erm... I'm Sorry?

Uni is frustrated

On one hand she is glad that Nepgear, her rival (as far as Uni is concerned), is training to become stronger and more capable

On the other hand she's frustrated that she can't spend time with her best friend, also Nepgear

Then there's the odd situation she finds herself in where Noire is in Planeptune more often for significantly longer periods of time

Really, three to four times a week is a bit excessive

Especially since Rom confirmed for her that Blanc only goes to Planeptune once a week

So what's Noire doing by going to Planeptune so much?

Uni didn't know and that just adds to her frustration

So, to figure out what Noire is doing, Uni clears one of the days that Noire consistently goes to Planeptune (she makes sure that its one of the days that isn't a gaming session between the CPUs) and follows after her, keeping her distance as to not be spotted

What Uni found was interesting to say the least

Uni found that, at least for this particular day, Noire isn't going to Planeptune Basilicom but rather to Virtua Forest where she met up with Nepgear (Le gasp)

The two of them had partnered up to do some quests it seemed (Uni noticed that Nepgear's movements were more fluid and seamless compared to a few months ago)

But why was she here for the entire day? She couldn't possibly be doing quests for the entire day with Nepgear could she?

The thought makes her feel jealous, "of whom?" one might ask and the answer was a simple "both of them"

Uni was jealous of Noire for getting to spend the entire day with Nepgear and vice versa for her jealousy for Nepgear

Thankfully the pair of them weren't doing quests for the entire day and that's where the thankfulness ended

Because after they were done with their questing they cleared out a clearing in Virtua Forest and Noire started to instruct Nepgear to better help the lilac haired girl battle more effectively and efficiently

And now Uni is feeling doubly jealous of Nepgear, not only does she get to spend the entire day with Noire, she also gets Noire's personalized training, how's that fair?

And it's not like she can bring this up with either of them without admitting that she was spying on them

The last thing she wants is for Nepgear to give her a label that will stick to her like Noire's "loner" label she got from Neptune

She didn't know why but she felt that if Nepgear were to find about her spying on them, she would get labeled as a "pervert" and she definitely didn't want that

Even if she ended up staying and watching them train as the hours went by

Watching as Nepgear's white sailor dress become more and more see through as the girl continues to train and sweat more and more

…

Uni will take the fact that blood had dripped out of her nose to her grave, she would die of embarrassment if anyone finds out

Then there's the issue of Noire

Uni has never seen Noire this happy before

Was she not good enough?

Is that why Noire is there with Nepgear?

Or is it because she uses a gun? Because Noire knows very little about them, so much so that Uni probably knows a hundredfold of what Noire knows when it comes to guns

Or does Noire enjoy teaching something that she's good at? Showing off what she's capable of and just simply guiding someone who wants to improve

Uni wants to improve too, but as mentioned before Noire knows basically nothing about guns

This leaves Uni in an impasse

Regardless, Uni feels like she's further away from her sister than she ever was

It makes her almost regret following Noire on this day

Almost…

So yes, Uni is frustrated but now she's also insecure

How this will effect her in the future

Is a chapter for another time
