Track 6

I’ve been waiting for you aaaaall~ this time, my Bice.

Now it’s time to get married~!

He said it with the amount of excitement you’d have going to the convenience store.

Aww, he’s just a little guy…

Hmm… next are… the vows…

I… vow to love Bice, in sickness and in health… Forever and ever!

Alright, he said it properly.

The intensive training with Nagi really paid off.

It’s like playing house… so cute.

Here comes the ring exchange~! Time to swap my ring with Bice’s!

Here, the ring is my special creation. Once you put it on, it will never come off, so don’t worry ♪

Next is… hmm. What was it again…’love’? Or was it… ‘hug’, or…’bug’…

…Umm. You know, that thing? The one that Gii can't say properly and gets him all embarrassed.

………………

…What was it again?

Hold on, is he going to drop out here—!?

Hang in there, Netaro-kun…!

Nnn….

Ah! Yes, that’s it! A kiss ♪

That’s it!

Alright, he remembered it…!

Hey, look this way.

My Bice… You’re so adorable~.

Those little ears you have, those teary, sparkling eyes, and that tiny mouth compared to mine…

……

…You know what, I’ll just eat you up ♪ Time to dig iiiiiin.

Wait, what!?

I can’t see anything!?

What’s going on!?

The video feed got interrupted!? What on earth…?

…We’re checking now, but it seems there was some kind of equipment malfunction! Was this unplanned, or a totally over-the-top horror effect~!?

Well, I’m most curious about the score—

Ah~, how unfortunate! They didn’t score too many points, probably because it turned into a horror movie…! A frustrating result for the Squadron of Dazzling Pure White Light!

(shaking) Ah…… ah……

How the hell did he turn a wedding into a horror movie?

I don’t think it was that bad.

…That was a bust. Nothing we can do about it. Let’s try to think about how Nagi and I can turn it around in Round 3.

Hm? Was that no good? I did try to weave in a bit of heartthrob charm, though.

It’s alright. The first half was pretty good.

Yeah. You said the vows properly, too. You did a good job, Netaro-kun!

Well, with the scores for Team Gorgonzola announced, the final standings for Round 2 are…

Incredible! Team KiriPara are too strong~!! They’re currently leading the pack!!

Unless the guys in 2nd place get nearly perfect scores, it’d be impossible for them to make a comeback.

Man, can’t they just let KiriPara win? Why are we having a third round?

…...

Nagi. We’re up next, let’s go get ready.

Kafka…

Good luck, you two…!

Oh, the KiriPara members are here… I should go greet them—

Ugh… this match is too easy.

Everywhere you look, people’s ideas about ‘marriage’ just feel so shallow, don’t you think?

It’s like they just skimmed the surface of ‘marriage,’ then filled the rest in with their fantasies. Feels amateurish, you know?

There’s just no sense of reality! Don’t take ‘marriage’ so lightly!

Um, I….

(Now doesn’t seem like a good time to talk to them…)

…Huh. You seem to know a lot about marriage~

…Hah? What’s with you?

I just thought… that’s Nikai-san for you. You know, the one who 'returned' to KiriPara despite the marriage graduation system.

…So, this guy knows Tomoya’s divorced.

I’m still single, so I’d love to hear what married life is like.

…Tch. Hey, let’s go. That superficial vibe is rubbing off on me.

(Superficial…?)

(Up until a few days ago, I was someone who hadn’t even thought about anything like marriage. To be honest, he’s right.)

(…And on top of that, I’m about to show this shallow, fake version of marriage… to them.)

—gi, …Nagi!

Ah…

Are you worried about what that guy said?

…Eh, um—, mhm.

What’s so wrong about what he said?

Huh?

If you want to get married, all you have to do is declare it on a piece of paper and submit it. It’s all part of a system process. He’s right to call it shallow.

Not to mention, the most important thing in marriage…

Is to respect each other, and face destiny together. You’re already putting in the effort to do that as the leader of the Night Team, aren’t you?

…"To respect each other, and face destiny together"...

I think that’s something you can do, too. Am I wrong?

…...

…Maybe you’re not wrong.

(I always thought marriage was just the next step in romance—)

(Sharing your life with someone… Ever since Shunin invited me to join HAMA Tours, and I became the leader of the Night Team… somehow, I’ve managed to get by.)

(If marriage belongs in the same category as those things… If that really happens to be the case—)

Even someone like me, without a family, might actually be able to talk about it…. maybe.

Exactly.

You’ve got many perspectives to choose from precisely because of who you are. Have more confidence.

It’s almost time for Round 3. Please get ready!

Things are finally heating up! Round 3: Ideal Married Life, is about to begin!
