Bridal ✽ Chapter 5

[Scene – Fountain]

Koga: Here boy~ stay very still, okay?

…yeah, we got a great shot! Leon, you look at this too. Don’t you look manly as hell? ♪

Aah? What is it Anzu. I’m in the middle of an important photoshoot. Don’t get in my way.

Hey Leon, don’t start jumping around just because Anzu’s here. Though it does get boring staying in the same pose, so just a bit is fine.

Haah? What am I doing here?

I told you already, I’m photographing Leon.

Look. Isn’t this fur the best? I brush it every single day.

I want to bath him every day too, but Leon hates it so I have to limit it to a few times a month.

Nn? You’re asking if I’m just photographing him because he’s cute? Course not. Leon’s at that age, and I’m thinking of finding him a bride.

You upload images and arrange meetings with the ones that seem to work. I can look for partners on my end too. (1)

Can’t start anything without having photos to upload first, so I’ve been taking him to a bunch of places.

Anyway, Anzu. What the hell are you doing here? You seem to want to say something.

Aaah? Have I seen that playboy?

Not at all. It’s weird to see you looking for him though. It’s always the other way around.

Even though you two aren’t even in the same class. He always asks me “have you seen Anzu-chan anywhere~?”, but I just tell him to look for you himself.

Hmm…so you were doing a gravure shoot, and got stuck? And then he went out to get some fresh air, and hasn’t returned since?

There’s no way I’d know where that playboy would go.

Nn? Wait. I might know?

Woah, don’t jump at me like that. Are you a fucking dog!?

I’ll just say this first, I don’t know for sure. Don’t come complaining if he’s not there, got it?

If that’s decided, let’s hurry. Aah? Am I going with you?

It’d be faster if I just took you there. You’d get lost otherwise.

What……it’s not like I’m being nice, got it?

It seems like a good place to get more shots for Leo…that was my intention from the start, anyway.

Oi, don’t give me that smile, I ain’t going with you like that!

[Scene change – the beach]

Kaoru: ……

{Hm? I ended up here without noticing…}

(Even though I said I’d only be out for a little bit to get some fresh air…I wonder if Sena-kun is mad.)

(I even left Anzu-chan and Sena-kun alone together…honestly, what I am doing…)

(I thought I’d managed to change gears, but I was hopeless. I’m such a coward.)

Kanata: Puka, puka…♪

Oh, Kaoru. What a coincidence, to see you here.

Today is a great day for a ‘bath’. It’s ‘dawn’, so the ‘temperature’ of the water may be a bit ‘low’, though.

Kaoru: Waitwaitwait!? It’s still bright, but it’ll be dark soon? Swimming in the ocean at night is suicidal, you know!?

Kanata: Does Kaoru want to ‘bath’ with me? You also love the ‘ocean’, like me, after all~♪

Ah, but I’ve never tried ‘surfing’ before, so I don’t really know…

Kaoru, you always say you want to go ‘surfing’…it’d be nice for ‘summer’ to come soon~♪

Kaoru: Don’t say so many weird things and come over here, okay? Seriously, you’re lucky we happened to run into each other.

What if you went into the ocean without anyone noticing and never came back?

Kanata: Um…did I…worry you? Kaoru, your eyes are ‘swollen’.

If I worried you, I apologise. I am sorry, Kaoru.
