R x J Week 2024 Day 7: Recognition

@senshixshitennouweeks

"And 1st place goes to Ms. Rei Hino!"

She’d joined this competition on a whim. And maybe as a favor.

Minako, in her infinite wisdom, had gone and caught herself a summer cold (during one of her coquettish escapades) and had begged her friends to join the Miss Seaside pageant in her place.

Of course, College courses for the rest of the senshi had left them with little time to actually join a beauty pageant, which left Rei to take pity on Minako (or rather try to get her to stop pestering her) and enter.

She hadn't expect to *win* though. But here she was, bedecked in a tiara and a swimsuit being handed a sash and bouquet of roses.

It was almost too much.

“She asked you to what?”

Rei huffed at Jad and tossed another handful of seeds to Phobos and Deimos.

"Enter the Miss Seaside pageant for her and I won!"

"That's crazy," Jad said. He'd just returned from a "guys' brunch" and had yet to change into the robes he wore for working at the shrine.

"It's like something out of an anime!?" Rei replied.

"Well, I can't say I'm surprised you won."

Rei frowned.

"What do you mean by that."

"I mean, you are incredibly beautiful."

Rei flushed.

"Get changed and get to work," she grumbled.
