Part 60: Megumi Yakushiji 5

Chapter 60: Megumi Yakushiji 5









Music: Ennui Vibes (Yoshimi Kudo)



What?



Fuyusaka-san is in your class, right?




Welp, poor Megumi. Your beau is having weird premonitions about other girls. What are you gonna do now?



And why about her?





Two topics here to talk about with the cat.



I won’t bother you if you do.







Kindly go away.

Use Tomi Kisaragi on Fluffy



Well, then I stand corrected. Looks like you had it in you after all. A deal’s a deal. I’ll poke inside Juro’s head for you.

Use Iori Fuyusaka on Fluffy



What’re you talking about?
The one about Iori Fuyusaka. Why is he dreaming about her?
Don’t ask me. I had nothing to do with it. Seems like he dreamt it on his own.
Oh…
He *is* a boy. And right at that special age… No surprise he dreams about the girl he’s into.

Fluffy, can you stop screwing with Megumi for two fucking seconds? …There’s a reason I don’t usually use the cat’s name, I realize.

That’s not true…



Does Juro have feelings for that girl?



You’re in the past now, right? Well, maybe *this* Juro…
Enough.
How about I give you an order that’ll change that?



So she’s one too.
Indeed. Time to shoot and drag her onto the battlefield.









Fluffy flees when we get close.








After we follow him again, he runs offscreen. Okay, jeez. Be like that.





Uh, what? What’s up with you? Is this about the other night?



I knew you were being annoying.



Miwako suddenly starts running. Maybe she’s late or something?




You know you want to.
I’m only doing it because she’s a witch.
They say jealousy is flattering… But lying about it is just sad.






Music: Bleak Pressure (Kikuchi Yukinori)




We were just talking about Nenji-kun. You remember, right? She *said* she wasn’t interested… But it totally seemed like she was! So… Yeah, there’s that.
Come on, Miwa-chan. You’re always looking for romance. You said the same thing about me and Kurabe-kun.
I know, but still… I’m definitely right this time.
Usami-chan? Really? I just don’t see it. (loop)



Do you have a second?
Hm? Oh, you’re in Nat-chan’s class, right?
Yes. I’m Yakushiji. Could I talk to you? Just the two of us?
Huh? Well, sure. I don’t mind.



All right, then. See you later, Miwa-chan.



Oh, it’s a little hard to talk about here…

Let’s head to the roof. That should be over on the right end of the hallway, no?





(This isn’t good…)

Maybe we can sneak past him.




Who’s that?
Yakushiji-san. She’s from 1-C.




It was just another imagined scenario!



Hm?



What would you do?
Like, do you need your friend’s approval?
Yeah. Do you choose love or friendship?
Wow, that’s deep. The ultimate dilemma.
Totally. I still want a boyfriend though…






What did you want to talk about?
……

Music: Lonely Struggle (Rikako Watanabe)




Jesus christ, Megumi!



Yet another instance of Megumi’s overactive imagination…



Um?

Use Magical Gun on Iori Fuyusaka

Well, we’re really doing this, huh?





Is it really? Who is this for…?





Music: Who D-Unit (Yoshimi Kudo)

Yakushiji-san?
Even so.








How did I get here?





M-Miwa-chan…
This girl’s been acting strange, Iori-chan. I saw her just this morning, in front of the school.







Not the time for this, Miwako!




So, uh… yeah. Fluffy’s a ghost? Or something? Weird.




And there it is.



Locked until Juro Kurabe’s “Juro Kurabe” event. Rolls off the tongue, don’t it? Juro Kurabe.



We add a blue link between Megumi and Iori because of GUN.



We also add a black link between Iori and Chihiro, because we never actually noted that they’re also kind of the same person.



“What the fuck is Fluffy” is now a mystery. As it always should have been, really.



Here’s the final board!



And here’s my seven dollar pack of corkboard pins that I now have to get a new one of because I accidentally tilted it, mixing the pins, and I’m too lazy to sort them!
