Chapter 250 250: Yakumo Christmas (Part 8)

In the end, even after lunch, when the sun was gradually beginning to set, the two still had not managed to help Megumi.

Even when they looked for classmates or friends they knew, although those people were not as extreme as the Fraxinus crew, the evaluations they received were still only things like "too ordinary" or "not impactful enough."

"I'm sorry, Shiori, Mikoto. I made you stay with me for so long for nothing."

As night fell, Megumi, who had been observing couples in the park, seemed to have made up her mind.

"Let's stop here. As expected, I still can't truly understand love."

She smiled wryly, then took a small box from her handbag and handed it to Shido and Mikoto.

"This is our company's main product. I hope you'll like it. Then, I'll be going."

The woman gave a small bow, then walked off into the distance.

"Ugh… um…"

Mikoto wanted to call Megumi back.

"What's wrong, senpai?"

Shido asked in confusion.

"No… I was just wondering—does Megumi-san know the way to the Shinkansen?"

Mikoto said in confusion. Earlier, she and Shido had learned that Megumi was not a local, and that she had to go back today. However, the direction Megumi had just walked in was the complete opposite of the Shinkansen station.

Well, maybe she's going back to her hotel to get her luggage first.

After thinking about it, Mikoto ultimately chose not to chase after Megumi. Instead, she sat down on a bench together with Shido.

Mikoto raised her head and looked at the sky.

Because it had snowed yesterday, tonight's sky was very clear. They could see countless stars, as well as a bright moon. It was a rare sight in a city filled with light pollution.

The sky was filled with stars, and the earth was covered in white snow.

It was like a dream.

"Speaking of which, Shido, what kind of girl do you like?"

Suddenly, Mikoto turned her head and asked the Shido sitting beside her with a playful smile.

"Eh? Why are you asking that all of a sudden?"

Shido shyly scratched his cheek, looking up at the stars in the sky, not knowing how to answer.

"I just want to know. After all, there are so many cute girls around Shido, right?"

Mikoto said with a giggle.

"Ugh…"

As a result, Shido became even more embarrassed.

"A girl as innocent and pure as Tohka?

Or one as timid and shy as Yoshino?

Ah… Kotori has to be included too.

And Kaguya and Yuzuru. Twins are a dream for a lot of boys, you know.

Miku is a national idol.

Natsumi… although she lacks a bit of confidence, unexpectedly, a lot of boys like that kind of girl. (TL: me me me me me I love Natsumi)

Origami has her own charm too.

Right, we have to include Kurumi as well."

Mikoto listed the cute and special points of the Spirits one by one.

"Ugh… someone… like… someone like…"

With no other choice, Shido lowered his head and hid his expression behind the girl's long bangs, speaking with a red face.

"Eh?"

Because his voice was far too quiet, Mikoto did not hear Shido's choice clearly. The boy's voice was practically as soft as a mosquito's buzz.

"R-right! Speaking of which, what kind of company does Megumi-san work for… Uwah?"

In order to change this overly embarrassing topic, Shido took out the popular company product that Megumi had given them earlier.

Then, after looking at the words on the box, he cried out in shock.

"Ara, ara."

Even Mikoto's eyes widened.

No matter how one put it, this was the world famous popular biscuit—Shiroi Koibito.

"Want to eat it, senpai?"

Shido asked.

"Mm-hm, I do."

Mikoto nodded.

Being able to sit beneath such a beautiful starry sky with Shido and share this sweet snack made her feel as if she had gained something.

"Ah, right. Earlier, when we were in the park with Megumi-san, didn't we see couples eating Pocky?"

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Mikoto clapped her hands and said that.

"Ugh… wait, don't tell me senpai wants to…"

And so, Shido also remembered the Pocky game between couples from earlier.

Simply put, two people each bit one end of a Pocky stick, then slowly ate it.

Because the Pocky would get shorter and shorter, in the end, the two would kiss.

So Shido seemed to understand what Mikoto was going to say next.

"Let's try it too, using this biscuit."

Sure enough, Mikoto said with a smile.

"Wait… that's way too embarrassing, right?"

"What's wrong with it? There isn't anyone else around now."

Winter nights were still very cold, and there was already no one in the park. Of course, it was also possible that the couples, especially the men, were rushing to places like love hotels on Christmas night.

"Besides, today's Shiori-chan is my 'present,' so you have to listen obediently."

Finally, Mikoto said with a smile.

"Ugh…"

Looking at that sly smile, Shido felt that he had already lost the right to choose.

And so, the two beauties sat beneath the beautiful starry sky, supporting themselves against the bench as they gradually moved closer to each other.

"Mm…"

Mikoto's small mouth gently bit the other end of the Shiroi Koibito biscuit that Shido was holding.

Unlike long, thin Pocky, the square Shiroi Koibito biscuit was very hard to use for the Pocky game. But perhaps because the two of them were too in sync, they each took one small bite after another. Gradually, the sweet biscuit became smaller and smaller, and the distance between them grew closer and closer.

Looking at the other person's shy cheeks, they both felt the urge to close their eyes because it was far too embarrassing. Yet at the same time, they also felt the desire to eat the remaining biscuit in one go and kiss those tempting lips.

Pulled between those two completely different thoughts, the two kept the same pace and ate the remaining biscuit bit by bit.

Then…

"!!!"

Their lips finally pressed tightly together.

(TL: almost broke my damn table)

A girl's lips became as sweet as white chocolate on Christmas. That was the only thought in Shido's mind.

Mikoto also seemed to want to sink deeper and deeper into that sweet kiss. She reached out and wrapped her arms around Shido's neck. Shido held the girl's slender waist, and the two kissed like that, unwilling to separate for a long time. (TL:phew, getting hot in here, dawg they really kissed on this huh? if only a certain girl in other house can get active like this)

"This is it!"

At that moment, a voice like a sudden thunderclap rang out from the bushes in the park.

"Uwah!"

"Eek!"

The two girls quickly separated like startled small animals, then looked toward the direction of the voice.

"M-Megumi-san?"

Shido looked in shock at the woman who had fallen out from the bushes.

"Didn't you… already leave?"

Mikoto's face also turned red. She had not expected that their intense kiss had been completely seen by Megumi.

"Ah, no, actually, after walking for a while, I suddenly realized I didn't know where the Shinkansen was, so I wanted to come back and ask…"

Megumi scratched her head awkwardly.

She had not expected to see such an astonishing scene the moment she came back. While the girls were kissing, something like sparks had flashed through her mind, and she could not help shouting out.

"In any case, thank you! You helped me find some great inspiration! Ah! I need to hurry and write it down! Goodbye!"

As a result, Megumi left in high spirits.

"…"

"…"

The two, whose atmosphere had been mercilessly interrupted by a third wheel, looked at each other and fell into a subtle silence filled with shyness and awkwardness.

"Pfft… haha…"

"Hehe…"

Then they both relaxed and laughed together.

The girl and the girl leaned against each other, enjoying the beautiful scenery beneath the night sky and sharing the sweetness that belonged to Shiroi Koibito.

Several days later…

"Darling! Look! Look!"

Miku excitedly came to the Itsuka house, holding a box of biscuits in her hand.

"What's this?"

Shido took the biscuits Miku handed him and asked curiously.

"It's Shiroi Koibito's new product. Apparently, it's a yuri flavored one."

Miku said happily.

Although it was a new product that had not yet reached the market, because they had chosen Miku, who had yuri traits, as the product spokesperson, the girl had obtained this product earlier than others.

"Eh? Wait…"

"Ara…"

Shido and Mikoto lowered their heads and looked at the biscuit box. The boy's eyes widened in shock, while the girl shyly covered her mouth.

Under the Shiroi Koibito logo, there was a beautiful picture of a brilliant starry sky and a snowy white field.

A girl with long blue hair and a girl with long black hair stood within that dazzling scenery, embracing each other. (TL: Yumetsuki found dead in the house btw)

And between their lips, they were gently biting opposite ends of the same biscuit.
