New Fanfic, In the World of Type-Moon, Starting as Morgan's Husband! Having trouble with MC's name, so it would be kind if you could help me...
=============================================
[Your sudden arrival and intimate actions caught her off guard. Facing you, she lost her usual elegance and composure.]
[And from her own words, you finally learn the real reason why she stopped coming to STARRY.]
[Her stagnant mock exam scores, combined with your unwavering patience and support, had left her feeling anxious.]
[Uncertainty about her future put her in a slump. She didn't want her mood to drag down the band—or you—so she chose to avoid STARRY altogether.]
[She had always thought these thoughts were impossible to share with anyone. Yet, for some reason, when she was with you, she could speak them freely, without hesitation.]
[The worries she had been bottling up seemed to slowly disappear the moment she saw you.]
[And once they were gone, the usual Ryo Yamada—confident, self-absorbed, and slightly arrogant—made her return.]
Minami closed his eyes, letting the images in his mind replay the scene of him
sitting in Ryo Yamada's room, talking with her.
"So, in other words, you like me."
Seated on a lounge chair in her room, the
blue-haired girl
lazily raised a single finger, pointing at her
elegant and beautiful face
as she analyzed the situation before her.
Minami, who had been casually observing the
room's layout
, instinctively turned his head to glance at
Miss Yamada
, who was sitting with her arms crossed.
He honestly had
no idea where her confidence was coming from.
"The reason is simple."
Changing her posture, Ryo propped her chin on her palm, adjusting her position slightly so her
white sleeve slipped back
, revealing a slender, delicate wrist. Then—
She straightened her back slightly, puffing out her chest with an air of absolute self-assurance.
"Because I'm beautiful."
"My personality is impeccable—adorable, even."
"My figure? Impressive."
"So, of course, it's only natural that you'd fall for me."
After stating her
objective analysis
, she gave a small nod of satisfaction.
"Mm. As expected of me."
Tilting her
delicate face
slightly, she cast a
languid gaze
at Minami.
"Am I right, Minami?"
"..."
Minami.
He opened his mouth, about to speak—
But before he could say a word,
Ryo raised a hand to stop him.
"I know. Right now, you're probably about to say—"
"'Please go out with me, Miss Yamada.'"
Her
amber eyes
locked onto him, her tone unwavering.
A few moments ago, she had been caught off guard by his sudden
trick
, but that had only happened because she was in a
bad mental state
.
Now, however, she was
back to her usual self.
And honestly—
She was
eager
to see Minami flustered for once.
But—
The scene she imagined
never happened.
Instead of turning
red-faced and embarrassed
, Minami showed
zero hesitation
.
Instead, under her gaze, he
fell silent.
Time passed.
Then—
"Then how about we give it a try?"
His voice was
calm, steady, and completely serious.
For the first time,
Ryo Yamada's expression didn't change.
Because at that moment—
She realized something.
Minami knew her
too well
.
He knew
she'd try to play this game.
Since that was the case—
"Then say it now."
Lifting a leg wrapped in
black stockings
, Ryo rested her chin on her palm.
"Say it seriously—'Miss Yamada, please go out with me.' If you do, maybe I'll consider it..."
"Please go out with me, Ryo."
"...?!"
Before she could even
finish speaking
, Minami had already said it.
His
expression was serious.
Not a
single hint
of a joke.
For the first time—
The
confident, ever-composed Ryo Yamada
found herself
thrown off balance.
But on the surface, she kept her face
calm and impassive.
Even as Minami
stared at her without wavering
, she pretended to be
unmoved
.
"If you say you were joking right now, I'll be mad, Minami."
Her tone was
flat, emotionless
—but there was
something else
behind it.
Minami didn't say anything.
He simply
looked at her.
Under his gaze, the
cold and elegant mask
she wore
finally began to crack.
Then—
"I'll think about it."
She pulled her
knees up to her chest
, wrapping her arms around them as she
buried her face.
Her voice,
no longer cold
, came muffled from behind her knees.
"I'll think about it."
This outcome
didn't surprise Minami at all.
As for
how long
that "thinking" would take...
That was anyone's guess.
A
girl's heart
was as unpredictable as a summer sky.
One moment
clear and bright
, the next—a
storm.
The Rain Begins to Fall.
Checking the time, Minami figured it was about time to leave.
He stood, said his goodbyes, and—
Ryo, still curled up in thought, didn't
move
to see him out.
The weather had grown colder with the
end of autumn.
As Minami
stepped outside
, he exhaled, watching his breath turn to white mist in the air.
And then—
The sky,
like a girl's emotions
,
suddenly shifted.
After taking only
a few steps
, a sudden
downpour
forced him to
seek shelter
under a nearby bus stop.
The world became
blurred
by the endless
curtain of rain.
Isolating him from everything.
"Minami—"
A voice, drawn out,
called his name.
Minami turned.
And there she was.
Ryo Yamada, standing in the rain, out of breath.
Her
short blue hair
clung to her
damp cheeks
, her
elegant face
glowing in the rain's reflection.
A scene straight from a
painting
—and she was the
living masterpiece.
Holding an
umbrella in one hand
, she carefully
stepped over puddles
, looking somewhat
clumsy
.
Finally, she
leaped into the bus stop shelter
Like a
swallow returning to its nest.
"I was going to bring you an umbrella."
Exhaling a puff of white breath, she
shook the water off her arms
, like a
lazy cat.
As she spoke, her
amber eyes
turned toward the
rain-soaked world outside.
Minami understood.
In rain this heavy, bringing an umbrella wouldn't have helped much anyway.
"It's so cold..."
She
shivered
, then—
Without hesitation, she
moved closer
, sitting beside Minami.
Holding out her
rain-chilled hands.
"Yeah. It is."
Without a second thought, he
took her hands
, warming them in his own.
For a moment, they simply
watched the rain together.
Then—
"I've made my decision."
"Hmm?"
"I'll be your girlfriend."
"Okay."
"Mm."
They
held hands
, turning their gaze back to the endless downpour.
"The rain is really coming down, huh?"
Leaning her head slightly against Minami's shoulder, she murmured.
"Yeah."
For some reason—
Minami
found himself wishing
this rain would
never stop.
Outside the bus stop shelter—
The
rain kept falling.
