Dating Game - Chapter 5General POV
After the awkward incident between Yukirin and Mayu which both girls somehow managed to explain and even show the proof, everyone once again get together in the dinning room as there was one more announcement from the hosts.
Jurina still managed to squeeze in some time and elbowed Mayu while hiding her uncontrollable laughter from the others “I never knew you’re so fast. Does it mean that I need to stay from Yuki from now on?” Mayu pouted and sighed “this means both of us will stay away from her because when I think back at it… this was one of the most embarrassing moments in my life…”, “you should at least apologize though. I mean… hot coffee on your body… doesn’t sound like much fun… unless you enjoy pain… but still”. Mayu sighed disappointed “I will…and after that I won’t need to speak with that girl again…” some relief could have been heard in her voice at the thought of that.
Jurina and Mayu stopped their short conversation when Rino take out a paper with a list on it “as you all know… because you read the rules of this dating game. Every week you will be assigned partners… to put it simply. You will spend a week with another person as couple while competing against each other and you will even win a prize at the end of the week. Of course the competition will variate and you should be prepared any moment… it all starts tomorrow… I can tell you that we start the game with competition but you need to know one thing… your couple might lose on the first day but you still need to act like one whether you like it or not..or punishment waits for you.Remember it. Before coming here Micchan and I made a list of couple for the first week…I’m pretty sure you’re all waiting impatiently to hear with whom you have been assigned, right? Oh… by the way don’t worry… you might probably wonder but what if later I like someone…or it will even be mutual feelings and I can even spend time with that person… well later on you will be the ones who decide with whom you’re gonna spend the week and involve in competitions. So for the beginning you just need to survive first week of adventures. Let’s begin?”
She looked up waiting for question but all the girls were way too impatient and looked too nervous to comment or ask questions.
“Good… the first pair we have chosen… Jurina and Mayu”.
“Eh? Really? But we’re best friends in real life… what’s the fun in that?” Jurina spoke up before Mayu had the chance to stop her.
Rino and Minegishi Minami looked at each other in panic “oh…really? wait a second!”, they turned around and started whispering about something, probably changing tactics. It looked like they were in serious discussion on the spot changing everything that they have decided on before. This time gave Mayu a change to comment on Jurina’s recklessness “you didn’t have to tell them that!”.
“But its the truth”, Jurina smiled cheekily.
“I know its the truth… but we could have had a simple relaxing week”, ”yeah… but where’s the fun in that?” she smiled again and put her hand on Mayu’s shoulder “relax. You will see… everything turns out alright”.
Rino coughed getting everyone else attention as there were more chatting between the girls. “Sorry about our little mistake… now we can continue… so the first pairing… Watanabe Mayu and Kashiwagi Yuki. We changed our minds on the spot after your little incident in the closet. We’re pretty sure you will have a fun week and the viewers will definitely like that”.
Jurina instantly tried to step away from Mayu but her friend caught Jurina’s arm and kept her in place while commented through gritted teeth “everything will turns alright?”
Rino continued without sensing the tension “that means… another pairing is Matsui Jurina and Yamamoto Sayaka”.
Mayu couldn’t hold on her laughed and everyone turn to look at the girl. She suddenly faked that she was just coughing until everyone turned back to look at the hosts. At least her grip on Jurina’s arm loosened “well we’re obviously even”.
“Let’s carry on.. Takahashi Minami and Oshima Yuko is our next pick. After that, Maeda Atsuko and Kojima Haruna”.
It was hard to understand these four thoughts of this decision because they just looked at each other and smiled awkwardly. Obviously it could have been noticed that Haruna shortly checked on close to her standing Yuko, meanwhile Takamina pouted a bit disappointed when Atsuko waved at Haruna.
"I guess we can announce more than one couple at the time. So for the week: Kitahara Rie - Furukawa Airi; and Matsui Rena -Takayanagi Akane. You can easily see the only couple that's left. Yokoyama Yui and Watanabe Miyuki. So do we need to repeat it or everyone understood who their second half is going to be for this week?
The girls turned around looking at each other. Some haven’t got to speak yet so obviously they understood that the week might be awkward. Especially not knowing what kind of competition they might need to involve themselves in.
Rino looked around and clapped her hands with relief “good. I see that you understood everything… now Micchan and I are going to leave you for the rest of the night… and we will probably meet tomorrow…or maybe the day after tomorrow…you never know”. Rino looked at Micchan and nod to her. Minegishi Minami looked like she’s ready to fall asleep here and now. She waved her hand while they walked to the doors “yeah… have fun! Or not! That’s your choice! Goodnight!”.
A/N: that's all for now but you can see the pairings for the week now
