So I'm back as I have mentioned to someone and here is last part of truth and dare game.
@sasshirie, @Minami-chan, @Key17, well you all asked for truth and that's definitely sounds like the only reasonable thing Rena can choose... obviously that's not the only thing that's going to happen in this chapter...
@buciq, yeah, you're quite on spot (with Rena avoiding dare because that's dangerous)
Acchan described the situation this time so I guess she might have looked like a narrator for the moment... oh... and Takamina... between two fires... she doesn't realize what is happening herself... well at least she's getting the attention and who knows maybe Acchan was a little bit jealous (as she left in the middle of the game and come back only to comment on the situation)... but enough about that. Hope you will enjoy this chapter
Dating Game - Chapter 24
[Truth or Dare] Part 3, LAST
Matsui Rena’s POV
Considering that Jurina might have the craziest idea if I chose dare, I decided to choose “Truth”, thought obviously there is no right answer to this question as either way she’s unpredictable.
I don’t know how it is possible to smile even brighter than she already did, but somehow Jurina is shining like a sun at the moment (weird comparison but I’m not sure how else I could describe it).
“Ohh…truth?…interesting… what should I ask?”
Why are you asking me? You’re the one who needs to come up with a question. Is it just one of those times when Jurina is putting on a show? I swallow more of this alcohol though I’m not even sure what it is. Well Kojiharu has been drinking it all evening and hadn't drop dead yet, so maybe I’ll be alright too.
“I will go with the easy one too… we like copying each other questions here… so Rena, tell me 5 things that you like about me”.
For the very first time in this game I heard Mayu react to something. She laughed out loud and maybe would have carried on with laughing if Yukirin hadn't covered her mouth surprised and confused of her behavior. Mayu somehow calmed down but I still heard her whispering “it’s just… SO Jurina”.
Also, for a minute or so I forgot that I’m the one who needs to answer this question. Only when Jurina rushed me I spoke up, noticing that Sayanee and Milky left for the kitchen with different intentions rather than listening to my mumbling.
“What if there are no 5 things?”
Jurina stared me down with those beaut…I mean… with those eyes and with confident smirk “I think there is. Just don’t over-think it”.
I had no other choice like many girls before (which had done even worse things… for example Akane speaking up about such matter and obviously hurting Airi… this girl still sit here silently looking down, too afraid to leave the room and at the same time that expression didn't say — I don’t love you, I feel just fine telling you the truth. Instead she looked really miserable because she got to say those things to Airi. I wonder if that’s even truth).
“Fine… you’re obviously brave… I don’t think you would have an issue with doing…or saying anything”. Jurina nod with my answers as if confirming that what I’m telling is truth. “I guess you’re good at giving compliments… that also comes naturally to you… mmm… what else…?”
I heard Mayu chuckling again. This time she herself tried to control it while covering her mouth and even received a stink eye from Jurina. Luckily this gave me some time to consider my next compliment.
“You’re good with puns? Well… not that you’re good but… I think that’s also part of you… like coming to you naturally as well as those compliments to others.” Jurina nod again. She’s enjoying it way too much and I still need to tell her two things.
I had to think really hard about the fourth one… there’s just something I have noticed but I think Jurina would get even more cocky if she heard about it. Still… I guess I need to speak up, its not like any other ideas are coming into my mind “you care about other people”, I guess I could have commented on a matter even more but maybe its enough that I acknowledged it in the first place.
Noticing that I’m finding it hard to come up with next point Jurina suggested while showing at herself “oh…I don’t mind compliments on how I look… you’re free to mention it too if you can’t come up with anything else”.
“I like your hair…”
“Eh?”
Even I can’t believe that it’s the best thing I could come up with. I like your hair… that’s something you say to your grandma or… fine, laugh at me.
Jurina looked at her own hair holding it between few of her fingers “I guess… it’s quite nice, isn’t it? Oh… and smells good”, she added while sniffing it.
Oh gosh Jurina… how do you even… wait it’s my turn to ask. I know… how about I take that smile down for a change?
“Okay… Jurina truth or dare?”
“Really? Only two of us playing this game? I don’t mind it thought. What would you prefer?”
“Do you want me to make a choice for you?” I squinted my eyes remembering the moment when Yuko questioned Jurina before and younger girl practically let Yuko chose what she would like to see.
“Fine. If I say truth… you will chose truth?”
“Yes. Truth… we’re being honest at the moment after all”. Jurina commented with the same confident I get to see every day.
“Okay. My question is… tell us something real about yourself. All we see is you running around giving compliments, cuddles, teasing others and having best time of your life. How about some back story? For example… why are you afraid of the dark?”
I guess I should have take the fact that Mayu stopped giggling as a bad sign. Well I think more about it… it’s not like Jurina talks about her personal life. She’s more into having fun and asking what you think or did instead of questioning how you feel. Unless that’s to make you feel uncomfortable and embarrassed.
Mayu spoke up speaking sitting straighter “maybe… that’s not really necessary Juri?”
Instead Jurina quite simply shrugged her shoulders “No…why? Its a game… also, we have been in this place for more than two weeks and people outside know my story either way. Fine…I will tell you why I’m afraid of the dark…though not exactly the dark…” she squinted her eyes slightly and I think that’s the first time I saw Jurina this serious.
“I don’t want to get into that whole soppy back story so I will continue on mentioning the most important facts that lead it to this moment… first of all, my parents died when I was 12 years old. Though maybe I shouldn’t start at that point…”
I’m starting to dislike my question very much. I kind of considered Jurina just laughing it off and as usual telling something that hasn’t much importance to tease me and others of how mysterious she is. She’s doing the opposite of that.
“I should start by the fact that my parents didn't care much about me… they never beat me, I can’t complain about being abused… maybe I can complain about the lack of attention as I doubt that people like that should have had a child in the first place.Whether they wanted it or not…they did… and this is how Matsui Jurina was born…”
…
After this Jurina started telling everything that she promised to tell. All the things that only Mayu knew. Her parents used to lock her in their pantry so Jurina wouldn’t make too much noise when they went away or had guesses. Their pantry didn’t have light so Jurina was not only locked in but also had to sit there in the dark.
It hadn’t bothered young girl very much until the time when they forgot about her and scared, alone, cold she got to sit in that place for two days. Jurina couldn’t recall if she was 6 or 7 years by that time… after that incident she got some sort of phobia.
She wasn’t afraid of the dark… but if you combined darkness and being locked inside somewhere… she had panic attracts. Just like the very first day of this show with 7 minutes in heaven game.
Jurina didn’t stop her story at this point and completed telling everything. Her parents died in a car accident and she didn’t even cry about it feeling relief instead of hurt… that’s not a normal feeling but Jurina realized that herself too.
She knew Mayu because they went to the same school and were both classmates and friends. They weren’t that close by that time but still spend quite a lot of time together in same classes or sometimes outside of school.
After her parents death Jurina was send to the orphanage because she didn’t have other relatives in Tokyo and who knows how everything would have ended for a young girl if not Mayu’s aunt.
Mayu’s aunt always wanted a child but couldn't have it on her own… after her husband’s death she decided that it has to happen now or never and as a coincidence it all happened by the same time.
That’s how Jurina and Mayu got even close (not really related but at least in a way),and for the very first time Jurina got a loving family.
…
Jurina smiled quite innocently as childishly as usual “is that real enough?”
I couldn’t find words to answer it, a bit guilty that we got to hear all of this because of some stupid game. It didn’t seem that this affected Jurina very much… but now… I think she’s someone who’s good at hiding their feelings. I’m not that good at hiding mine though… I certainly have ‘guilty’ written all over my face.
“Don’t stress about it. I think I would have told my story sooner or later”, Jurina commented simply, probably noticing my confusion though it didn’t make me feel any better.
Also, because of the gloomy atmosphere we decided to end the game for this time. Who knows if we will play it ever again but there’s a certain amount of stuff you can hear during one evening and everyone reached their limit feeling tired both physically and emotionally.
Thanks for reading! See you next time!
