Event Story – LOST FOUND, ch. 6

[kozvme]

Bianchi: (ーIt's time for another round of cleaning volunteer work today. This time, I'm cleaning the beach ♪
With beach season just around the corner, I have to make sure it's nice and clean for everyone to enjoy!

And obviously, I'll be careful not to get sunburned today as well...

 

Of course he's here.
He was waving at me earlier, but I totally brushed it off... Did that seem a bit harsh?

But I can't shake the feeling that it's better to not get too involved... I can't really explain why though.

No, looking into my plans is enough of a reason. I can't let my guard down.)

Jude: ~~~ ♪

Bianchi: (Yikes, he's humming... Was that guy always this happy-go-lucky?

Wait, is he dancing? He's stepping around so lightly...)

Jude: Like this? No, maybe like this?

Bianchi: S- Say, what is it that you've been doing?

Jude: Cleaning.

Bianchi: I mean, I can see that, but what's with those steps?

Jude: Oh... You have to dance at prom, don't you? That's why I'm practicing.

Bianchi: Prom? Are you thinking about going?

That's kind of unexpected... Oh, sorry, I feel like I might speak with some biases againー

Jude: It's so I can dance with you, Bianchi.

Bianchi: ... Huh?

Jude: I have to make sure I can dance flawlessly to avoid embarrassing you, Bianchi.

Oh, and you might get nominated for both King and Queen. Which title are you leaning towards?
I still can't quite figure out your way of thinking, and it's been keeping me up at night.

Bianchi: W- What are you even saying...

Jude: I think you would look great in either crown. I'm really looking forward to seeing how it goes.

Bianchi: I'm not going to prom.

Jude: What?

Bianchi: What's with all these ridiculous thoughts you're having… I have to say, it’s pretty creepy, you know?

Jude: I figured you'd be really into events like prom.

Or more like, the whole dressing up part of it... even if it was just my own assumption, that's the impression I got.

 

I didn't understand anything about you, Bianchi...

 

Bianchi: ... You know, you aren't far from the truth.

I do love being stylish, and prom is generally a really exciting event.
But I'm not going. If I get involved, I won't be able to hold back.

Jude: ... What does that mean? If you want to go, just do it.
When you were giving the old ladies a makeover, you looked like you were genuinely having fun.

Since I was right next to you, I could see how much you really enjoy it...

Bianchi: ......

Jude: If you want to go, you should definitely go. Life is a one-time deal, and you should embrace every challenge, no!?

Bianchi: Ugh, seriously... why are you getting so worked up?

I actually wanted to work in fashion design. But right now, I'm trying hard to become a hero, okay?

I'm aware that if I go too far, I might not be able to walk away from it.

Jude: So, what you're saying is... you don't actually want to be a hero?

Bianchi: ... Yes. If I had to answer with a yes or no, I'd say yes.
But I took the plunge and enrolled in the Academy. So, just leave me be.

Jude: Kh, why do you have to give up on what you want to doー

Bianchi: Alright, enough talking.
We're here to clean up the beach, remember?
Come on, get those hands moving! No dance practice either, got it?

Jude: ......
