[CH.45] Women-only group chat
Akane: "I got a boyfriend."
Mimasaka: *Emoji* (Surprised)
Nishina: *Emoji* (Astonished)
Kuhou: *Emoji* (I see)
Akane: "Well, I was just kidding."
Mimasaka: "As long as Akane-san keeps writing stories where childhood friends die, I don't think she'll get a boyfriend."
Akane: "That's harsh."
Nishina: "I read your latest work. Another childhood friend died, didn't they?"
Kuhou: *Emoji* (Sweating)
Aoi: "But, I did hang out with a guy for real."
Kuhou: *Emoji* (Eh?)
Aoi: *(Attached a photo)*
Nishina: "Isn't that Hanamucchan!?"
Aoi: "I went on a date with my sister and Hanamura-san, all three of us."
Akane: "Went on a date."
Mimasaka: "Not exactly a third wheel, but Hanamura-kun's face looks pretty tense."
Nishina: "Where was this photo taken?"
Kuhou: *Emoji* (Punishment)
Akane: "The other day, Aoi and I went to see that rumored 'tearjerker' movie that everyone in America cried over. There, we happened to meet Hanamura-san."
Aoi: "Since Hanamura-san had the same purpose in mind, I invited him."
Nishina: "I wanted to see that movie too. Why didn't you invite me?"
Mimasaka: "He's not the type to do that. It would have been surprising if he had invited Aoi-san or Akane-san instead."
Kuhou: *Emoji* (Exactly)
Aoi: "To everyone who had their sights on Hanamura-san, I'm sorry... We got a little lovey-dovey."
Mimasaka: "Well, he should get used to girls, and it was probably a good experience for him."
Nishina: "Oh, no, I'm not targeting him or anything."
Kuhou: *Stamp* (Blushing)
Akane: "Well, I can somehow understand Hanamura-san's position. But Kuhou-san remains a mystery."
Kuhou: *Stamp* (I'm sorry)
Akane: *Stamp* (It's okay)
Aoi: "But Hanamura-san is a really nice person, isn't he? He's calm, not rude at all, and has a lovely smile."
Nishina: "Exactly! Hanamucchan's smiling face is quite renowned."
Aoi: "Nishina-san, do you like Hanamura-san?"
Nishina: "No! I'm just supporting him as a fellow colleague!"
Kuhou: *Stamp* (Nervous)
Aoi: "Oh dear, I should have asked when we meet next time. I wanted to see Nishina-san's expression right now."
Kuhou: *Stamp* (Certainly)
Mimasaka: "Seems like we're in the middle of a romantic comedy. Beer goes down smoothly."
Akane: "What do you think about Hanamura-san, Mimasaka-san and Kuhou-san?"
Kuhou: *Stamp* (No comment!)
Aoi: "Oh, I asked Hanamura-san about it at that time. Who among Mimasaka-san, Nishina-san, and Kuhou-san he likes."
Kuhou: *Stamp* (Surprised)
Mimasaka: "In his case, he'd probably say he likes everyone to play it safe."
Akane: "The correct answer is 'on the web'!"
Nishina: "Even now, it's on the web... Isn't that joke a bit outdated, Akane-san?"
Akane: "I'm actually younger than Mimasaka-san."
Mimasaka: "Hey, don't use me as the punchline (laughs)."
Aoi: "Well, you did manage to divert the question."
Mimasaka: "But surprisingly, he might prefer someone like Aoi-san or Akane-san over us, who are close to him."
Aoi: "Well, Hanamura-san and I are probably the same age, so we get along well."
Akane: "But he might prefer someone a bit more assertive. It's better to have someone who can shake up a woman."
Mimasaka: "Here we go again with the flirting."
Akane: "Unforgivable."
Mimasaka: "LOL."
Kuhou: *Stamp* (Flustered)
Akane: "I guess we need to settle things with Misasa-san."
Mimasaka: "I've been thinking it's about time. Let's do this!"
Nishina: "What's the bet?"
Kuhou: "Who can finish reading Aoi-san's novel first."
Mimasaka: "I surrender."
Akane: "I surrender."
Aoi: "Revenge."
Nishina: "I can't read it, but it sounds scary."
Kuhou: *Stamp* (Shivering)
Aoi: "Could you at least try reading the prologue? You'll appreciate the depth of the fantasy."
Nishina: "How many characters are there in just the prologue?"
Aoi: "1.5 million characters."
Akane: "Is this hell?"
Aoi: "Hanamura-san did read it, though. He praised the visible effort I put into it."
Kuhou: *Stamp* (Is that really praise?)
Aoi: "Hehe, I'm sure he likes me."
---
Aoi: "I'm sorry, please stop leaving me hanging for two hours."
Akane: *Laughs*
Aoi: "Siri, how to destroy my sister."
Akane: "Then, shall we have a competition to see if Hanamura-san can confess his feelings to you?"
Nishina: "Huh!?"
Mimasaka: "Hehe, that sounds interesting."
Akane: "He's coming to deliver the filters the day after tomorrow, so let's make the first move."
Nishina: "Isn't that a bit rude to Hanamucchan?"
Aoi: "My sister is just joking. Nishina-san, you're really cute."
Mimasaka: "Well, even if it fails, it'll just be in vain."
Akane: "That's true."
Kuhou: *Stamp* (Nervous)
Nishina: "W-What... it was just a joke?"
Kuhou: *Stamp* (Hehehe)
Mimasaka: *Stamp* (Hehehe)
Akane: *Stamp* (Hehehe)
Aoi: *Stamp* (Hehehe)
Nishina: "Which one!?"
