Uchusen Vol.186 (Autumn 2024) Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger | Detail of Super Sentai ft. Main Cast Interviews (translation below)

Publication: October 1, 2024 (between episode 31-32)

Iuchi Haruhi x Hayama Yuki x Suzuki Miu Saito Ryu x Soma Satoru x Miyazawa Yu

"Filming will start to move into the endgame, so do you feel that your teamwork is now fully established?"

Iuchi: If we're talking about team work……to be honest, yesterday, including Hashiyasume-san, the seven of us went out to eat for the first time (laughs).

Suzuki: She'd been talking about "wanting to go" for awhile, and it just so happened that we all finished filming together, so when we invited her she said, "Definitely, let's go!" We all ate yakitori together and had alot of fun!

Soma: It was an exciting time.

Suzuki: It was fun, wasn't it? We saw new sides of each other.

Iuchi: We're often split up when we go out to eat, but this was the first time we were all together with Hashiyasume-san included.

Suzuki: Still, since there's always someone who can't make it, that might've also been the first time all six of us were together.

Hayama: That may be true. However, when we went out to eat, Hashiyasume-san said, "I know this is alittle late, but I don't know you guys very well," and so we introduced ourselves again. We started with basic info, such as our ages and the agencies we belong to (laughs).

Suzuki: When I came back to my seat after leaving for abit, Hashiyasume-san was saying things like, "Everyone's doing their best!," but what were you guys talking about?

Soma: I think it was about our auditions for Boonboomger. Hashiyasume-san asked us, "How'd you all get in?" and when we said, "We had to do countless auditions……" she was like "That must've been tough!"

Suzuki: Ah, I didn't know that.

"Was that the first time you spoke about private matters?"

Miyazawa: Outside of filming, yeah.

Suzuki: When we're filming, we don't have that much time to talk. That's why it's been alot of fun talking about so many different things!

"In the first place, when you're filming every day, you don't have much time for your private lives."

Hayama: Also, on the topic of food……in the curry shop run by the Hashiriyans, the four of them - Ishiro, Jou, Sakito and Byun Diesel, finish eating curry in one bite (episode 31), but those scenes were filmed with us eating normally and then being sped up in the broadcast. However, when filming, Miyazawa-kun was eating so slowly……Ryu and I kept acting as if we were scooping at curry that was already gone so that the timing for the end of the meal would match. It was already really late, and when I glanced over halfway through, his still hadn't decreased at all (laughs).

Miyazawa: Ideally, the four of us should've finished eating at the same time. That's why before filming, when everyone was nervous and said, "Will we be able to eat all of it?," I said stuff like, "Don't worry, in fact, if you're nervous, you won't be able to eat, so it's best not to tense up." However…….once we started and I looked up at Ryu in front of me, by the time I had eaten about a third of mine, he was already halfway done with his, and I thought to myself, "This ain't good"……

Suzuki: I'd be in a hurry (laughs).

Miyazawa: It's good because you guys are young, but once you get older, you won't be able to take it all in. I did my best to shovel it in my mouth in one go, but I just can't swallow it at all.

Hayama: When I had about three bites left, Ryu had already finished eating, but even though he was told, "Keep acting like you're eating," for some reason, he just waited patiently, which was also funny (laughs). Furthermore, when I saw Byundi in front of me, he couldn't eat because he was wearing a mask, so he had to continue to pretend to eat. More than that, Sakito, who was across from me, looked like he was in pain while eating, and it was really hard to hold back my laughter in that moment (laughs).

Miyazawa: I'm often teased because of my age. You guys oughta have alittle more respect for your elders! (laughs).

Hayama: We're always screwing with him (laughs).

Suzuki: It's proof that we're good friends, don't you think? (laughs).

"The story is also becoming more and more interesting."

Miyazawa: Recently, I think Genba's withdrawal (episode 27) is definitely worth watching. Satoru made the atmosphere serious, and I got the feeling that "we also had to do our best."

Suzuki: Normally, he really screws around (laughs), but when it comes to work, his face changes. I also think it's amazing that he always observes and studies the performance of Ono-san, his Suit Actor.

Iuchi: Is it just me, or does his acting seem to have gotten even more colorful recently?

Hayama: For some reason, I feel like Satoru-kun's expressions have changed recently.

"Does this mean that the role has become your own?"

Soma: No, no, I am honored though (laughs). Still, since the focus is on Genba due to his withdrawal, I feel that I have to work harder, and there are parts of his past that'll be revealed and foreshadowing resolved, so I have to make sure that I clearly convey them. I feel that this awareness is stronger than ever before.

"Is it also challenging to do the makeup when you change into his Bureki form?"

Soma: On its own, the makeup only takes about an hour, but I think the challenging part is for the makeup artist rather than myself (laughs). First I'm filmed as Genba, become Bureki after that, and then was filmed as Genba once more, so that was abit challenging. As for some behind the scenes stories……my skin is fairly tan, but when you combine that with the long white hair, it ends up giving me an unintended "gyaruo" look (laughs), so I use foundation to whiten my skin abit.

Saito: I think the contacts are also pretty challenging, no?

Soma: I wear colored contacts when I'm Bureki, but the pupils are vertical just like a cat's. However, when I blink, the pupils can't help but spin around and the angle becomes misaligned, so we have to reangle them every time.

Suzuki: Because of that, you try not to blink as much as possible during filming. Even though your eyes are drier than usual when you have contacts in, it's alot of trouble since you can't blink.

Soma: Still, there are some eye performances where you deliberately blink, right? That's why when we were filming in dry places, there were times when my contacts would fall out.

"Nevertheless, Genba's withdrawal was a shocking and abrupt development."

Soma: It was a huge development, I didn't expect that I'd be leaving.

Miyazawa: The scene where Genba walks away was good.

Hayama: It was good, wasn't it? It was abit dark on set that day of that shoot.

Soma: The mood was pretty rough.

Iuchi: On the way home too, everyone was silent.

Suzuki: Everyone was depressed……

Saito: Furthermore, the following week, Genba was removed from the opening. In addition, it starts from the end of the previous episode and leads into the opening, and Zawa-nii and I were saying, "This definitely isn't gonna be good for the people watching!"

Suzuki: You know about the picture of that girl who cried "Don't quit!" that was sent to Satorun on SNS, right?

Soma: I thought, "Yeah, I'm sorry"……but, well, it's my job.

Suzuki: To shatter her dreams even further?! (laughs).

Miyazawa: I wanted to tell her, "Just hold out alittle longer!"

Soma: Seeing photos like that still breaks my heart. Unlike in the past, we can now see direct reactions on SNS, but I have mixed feelings about this, as it's both gratifying and saddening (laughs).

"The untransformed action scenes seem to have increased, but what do you think about filming action?"

Hayama: I really don't have much confidence in myself. I'm just trying to get by with the power of editing.

Miyazawa: Episodes like the boxing one (episode 29) were really cool.

Hayama: That was through the power of editing (laughs).

Saito: Still, didn't BoonBlue's Suit Actor Yone-san (Yoneoka Takahiro) say, "I was very impressed with Yuki-kun's action skills"?

Suzuki: I guess you "leveled up" without even realizing it, huh?

Hayama: No, I've done nothing but work on my body. Around the beginning, I talked to Takahiro-kun about how I was, "Curious about the difference in our body shape before and after transforming." Takahiro seemed to also be concerned about that.

Suzuki: Yone-san's build is pretty amazing, isn't it? (laughs).

Hayama: I was really slender at the time, and we wanted to create a stronger link between us, so we decided on it with, "Alright, Takahiro-kun will lose weight and I'll get bulkier."

Suzuki: You were like, "Let's just meet in the middle" (laughs).

Hayama: Right, we decided to compromise with each other, so maybe that's why I started going to the gym. I was never the exercising type, but I feel like I have alot more stamina now.

Suzuki: Did Yone-san ever get thin?

Hayama: Takahiro-kun is actually fairly thin. The last time I saw him in his BoonBlue suit, it was wrinkled and had alittle extra room.

Suzuki: Eh, amazing!

Hayama: That really surprised me.

Miyazawa: Yuki was happy too.

Hayama: I was very happy (laughs).

"What other action scenes impressed you the most?"

Iuchi: While in his Bureki form, Satoru-kun did some wire action, and it was amazing.

Soma: I was able to do it because I had practiced in advance, but it was still more difficult than I had imagined. You have to balance in the air, so you've got to have a strong core.

Saito: When I looked at you after it was over, you had marks all over your body from the wire rubbing against you.

Soma: I didn't realize it while I was doing it.

Hayama: The action reminded me of the scene in the episode where Sakito first appears (episode 16), where he and Taiya fight in the parking garage. That was really cool, and Haruhi's athletic ability……I was surprised it wasn't terrible (laughs). Well, it's not that Haruhi's ability isn't good, it's just my own biased opinion.

Suzuki: Haruhi-kun's hobbies include reading and playing the guitar, so you can't help but get the impression that he's an indoor person. And yet, when he does action, he's actually very lively.

Miyazawa: Surprisingly, he likes exercising and action, and when we play futsal together, he has more fun than anyone else.

Iuchi: Personally, I'm really jealous that Genba takes on an alien form. That's why I've been appealing to the Directors and Producers with, "How about a development where Taiya also becomes an alien?" When I become an alien, I'd like to do some wire action, cause some explosions with napalm shooting out of my hands, and in the end, fall into some water and vanish.

Soma: In other words, you just want to do all the actions that only tokusatsu can offer, so it's basically just an "assortment of things you wanna do" (laughs).

Miyazawa: Seems like a happy meal of tokusatsu actions (laughs).

"What developments are you looking forward to in the future?"

Iuchi: What I'm most concerned about now is Sakito. When I watch, I feel that he still hasn't become a member of Boonboomger, or rather, he's become one of them, but his position is alittle different from the other members. He's always with Byundi, and they tend to act separately from us.

"You're not wrong, they give off the vibes that make them seem like a separate team."

Iuchi: Right. So, as the story progresses, and we all move toward our dream of the BBG, will Sakito move forward with us, or will he go off somewhere else?……

Miyazawa: It's true that Taiya and the others have big dreams, but Sakito's goals haven't been revealed in the main story yet. Previously he said, "My dream is to watch the fireworks with you guys."

Suzuki: That was an easily achievable goal (laughs). Still, that scene turned out cool.

Miyazawa: We may find out about it in the future, or maybe it just hasn't been made clear yet.

Suzuki: That being said, while each of them is depicted as growing, Taiya's still one step behind, and there's something mysterious about him. I'm pretty curious to see how he'll grow from here.

Miyazawa: Regarding Taiya, although his growth is depicted through things like his battles with Madrex, I get the impression that there's still alot that hasn't been revealed about him. Other than that, the only other story that focused on him was the episode of his first love (episode 24).

Suzuki: That's right.

"As we reach the climax, will this be discussed together along with the situation regarding Naito Raita-san?"

Iuchi: Yes, a disturbing topic will be brought up (laughs). Depending on how things unfold, I might cry for real.

Suzuki: We also don't know anything yet.

Hayama: Taiya and Naito-san are old acquaintances.

Iuchi: There may even be an episode where Taiya withdraws……?

Saito: Is that because all you want to do is use napalm and fall into water?

Iuchi: I've been caught (laughs).

Hayama: I also wonder how Tokoyari Eiichiro-san, the ISA Director, will interact with us in the future. He has a connection with Ishiro, but it hasn't been depicted in detail yet, so he's almost certainly going to be an enemy.

Suzuki: Well, that's how he's been portrayed (laughs).

Hayama: I'm really curious to see how he'll clash with us in the future.

Iuchi: I'm saying this as a viewer, but I'm also curious to see what'll happen to the Sanseaters. There are alot of fans of the Voice Actors, and while they're villains, they're characters that you just can't hate.

Hayama: In that sense, this job is a dream come true for an anime lover like me. Like, there's Morikubo Showtaro-san who plays Disrace……

Suzuki: In any case, the Voice Actors are just too extravagant.

Hayama: I had the chance to talk with Madrex's Kamiya-san the other day, and his natural voice was just like the soldier captain in that one anime. I thought, "I'm talking to my idol right now!," and my excitement was steadily cranking up (laughs).

"This is a benefit only Sentai can offer."

Suzuki: When I observe the Voice Actors recording, I can tell that the way they use their voices are completely different. It's not so much the volume of their voice, but the tone, like the way it resonates even if they don't speak loudly.

Hayama: When I observe Voice Actors recording, they're on such a different level, that I honestly wonder, "How do I even learn what to do?" (laughs).

Suzuki: Still, when I spoke with Bundorio's Matsumoto Rika-san, she told me, "We Voice Actors play the characters, but since everyone acts out the characters themselves and then provide their own voices after they transform, I think it's better if you do it in your natural voice for realism." That's definitely something I agree with.

"And now finally, please give a message to the fans."

Miyazawa: I think the story is gradually reaching its climax, but I wonder how everyone in Boonboomger will grow and develop from now on…..the same is true for Genba, but I'm sure we'll be able to see each person's own vision, including their relationship with Sakito and the Sanseaters, who tend to act alone, so I hope that you'll pay attention to this area and enjoy the story to the very end as it reaches the most interesting part.

Soma: Lately, I think each and every episode has been pretty intense, including what Genba's been doing since he left, but I wonder how the Boonboomgers will reunite from here. In the future, I think there'll be a boss to fight towards the end, and there's really alot left that's yet to be revealed. Even with that in mind, you'll still be able to enjoy it, and I think it's an interesting enough show that you could watch again from the beginning to check for the foreshadowing!

Hayama: Including the six of us, each character and their backgrounds are being depicted more and more intensely as of late. Especially now that Taiya and the others dreams of the BBG are being discussed in more detail, I'm also looking forward to seeing what'll happen. Then of course, there's Champion Boonboomger. I hope you'll enjoy the new evolution of the Boonboomgers.

Suzuki: Boonboomger is a group of professionals known by "-ers" and I think they're strong because it's a group of six people who each have their own strengths. However, with Genba's departure, I'm sure that it's not only us, but also the viewers who have been able to realize how significant it is when one person is missing. I hope you'll look forward to the drama of whether Genba will come back and what his friends will do.

Saito: The ultimate goal of Boonboomgers story is the BBG, but I think there are many more details to be explored, including Genba's story, so please look forward to that first. Also, please pay attention to the guest appearance of ToQger! This is the most recent appearance of a senior Sentai following Go-Onger, so I hope you'll look forward to future developments and seeing what kind of "spice" they'll add to Boonboomger.

Iuchi: When Genba left in episode 27, there was alot of reactions like, "He'll come back soon, right?," but even after a few weeks, he still hasn't come back. Including the appearance of Champion Boonboomger, I hope you'll pay attention to how everyone in Boonboomger grows by overcoming this predicament. Also, this was a personal request and something to look forward to, but although there was a story about Taiya's first love during his childhood, the very core of his past, such as "I can't sit still when I hear a scream," hasn't been explored yet. That's why I think It'd be good if we could delve deeper into Taiya's roots, along with his relationship with Naito-san. I'm really looking forward to it myself, and I hope that the fans will enjoy it too!

ESSENCE OF US - CH 12: MAYBE, BABY?

Please read responsibly. This fic will get hot and heavy as the story progresses, 18+ only MDNI | READ CH 11 | MASTERLIST | READ CH 13

summary: a fleeting encounter with a mysterious Trent leaves you wondering if fate is playing a bigger match. your paths continue to cross in unexpected places as the fragrances around you mirror the growing tension between you. maybe it's just a coincidence..or maybe its destiny in the making.

warnings: FLUFF, smut (mirror sex), language, mentions of pregnancy, smau wc: ~8.5k song inspo: Me & Ur Maker x ¿Téo? ft. Maesu | Real Thing x Pink Sweat$ ft. Tori Kelly 💌: as always, anyone can read but the IG smau is how y/n looks TO ME

It had been almost a week since the infamous pregnancy conversation you had with Camille at Les Notes d’Amour. It was laughable at first, but here you were six days later..still without a period. That little fact took up residence in your mind, rolling around like a pebble in your shoe. You were a bit on edge to say the least.

This couldn’t possible be happening to little you – but it was.

Today, your unease only grew at the sight of the stack of Miu Miu clothes sent over for an event they invited you and Ezzie to in London after the Tea with T video went viral. Normally, you wouldn't consider yourself someone who would dive into the world of flashy events for the sake of digital consumerism, but you didn’t mind wearing the influencer title if it meant your younger sister could immerse herself in the fashion world she adored.

You slipped into a dark wash two-piece that sat snugly on your frame. The crop top hugged your chest just right, stopping just above your waist with the classic Miu Miu logo stitched on the hem. The skirt sat high on your waist, fitting around your hips and ending mid thigh. It would be a cute look any other time, but today..not so much. You were bloated as hell.

Okay, what is going on?? Did I give them the right measurements?

You were bloated to the point where the waistband of the skirt dug into your skin, making you extremely irritated off rip. You tugged at the hem and then the waistband, trying to shift things around like that would automatically fix the outfit, but nope. Didn’t work. You weren’t really feeling this outfit.. or any of them for that matter.

I can’t wear this… I look so bad.

Frustration washed over you as you stripped off the set and your eyes started to sting in a flurry of oncoming tears. You grabbed a dress next and quickly slipped it on, but it wasn’t any better than the two piece set. The fabric skimmed over your bloated stomach and it all felt wrong.

I can’t do this for nine months. There’s no fucking way. I can’t be pregnant..what the hell am I supposed to wear?

Irritation gnawed at you as every single thing piled up, making you feel worse. Rêveur was smelling weird to you lately and you couldn’t figure out why. You also hadn’t seen your perfume diary in forever, which held every single work in progress. Lastly, the possibility of being pregnant was looming over you like the darkest cloud. You bought the test, but you hadn’t taken it yet or even told Trent there was a growing possibility of pregnancy on the horizon. If you didn’t know..maybe you could pretend everything else was fine. Still, just looking at yourself in the mirror heightened the possibility even more. You huffed, not even wanting to go to London for the Miu Miu event anymore. If the look wasn’t eating you weren’t trying to be seen at all, especially if you really were pregnant.

Downstairs, you heard nothing but loud noise and rambunctiousness. Ziggy, Trent, Marcel, and Tyler were all lounging on the couch, yapping over a Boston Celtics and Dallas Mavericks basketball game. You made your way down the stairs, each shout and laugh grating your nerves. When you made it to the last step, you took in the scene: the boys were all leaning forward on the edge of the couch, eyes glued to the telly.

Ziggy got up on his feet, shouting and pointing at the TV, “You see Luka Dončić’s fadeaway?! He’s floating! Look at the form. Fucking legend! They call him ‘The Don’ for a reason!��� Trent shook his head at your brother’s antics. “Nah. Tatum’s gonna come through. His stats are solid..he’s got the range for a win.”

Marcel shook his head and threw a pillow at Trent, laughing. “Delusional. His shooting is not that great. Luka’s working with a lot less and getting it done.”

Tyler was hyped by the back and forth, clapping at the telly like he was a coach on the line. “Luka’s got this..I’m telling you.”

You rolled your eyes, not knowing what the hell they were going on about because you were more of a footie girl. You watched them, annoyingly fascinated by how well your brother managed to integrate into their life so seamlessly. Ziggy had somehow found the time to come over for workouts in Trent’s home gym setup, but Trent and your brother spent the majority of the time yapping rather than training, aggravating you whenever they had a chance. It was kind of cute at the same time – no one would have ever known they hadn’t seen each other the past 10 years. They were nearly inseparable.

As the game intensified, Trent looked over at you and caught your eye – like he felt your presence immediately even though you didn’t say a word. He grinned and gave you a nod of acknowledgement, immediately perking up your mood. You walked over to the couch, standing right in front of their view of the TV just as Luka took another shot.

“Y/N! Fucking move!!!” Marcel yelled, waving his hands in the air like a mad man. “You’re not made of glass you know!” Ziggy reached out to give your a harsh prod on your leg, yelling at you too. “You’re blocking the telly! Get out the way! Can’t you go do something else with Ezzie?”

You ignored them and turned to Trent, tugging on his hand while batting your lashes. “T, baby... can you help me with something, pleaseee?” you asked, dropping your voice into a flirty tone. Trent didn’t need much convincing at all and got up immediately, completely immune to the complaints surrounding him. He gave you a kiss where your jawline met your neck and collective annoyed groans followed.

“Ugh, get the fuck out of here with that! We don’t want to see it!” Marcel yelled with a dramatic eye roll. Ziggy rolled his eyes too and pretended to gag while muttering something about Trent displaying ‘ultimate simp behaviour’, Tyler shook his head and crossed his arms, telling Trent he was beyond gone and completely whipped. You were unbothered by the peanut gallery full of haters and stuck your tongue out at all of them, reaching over to shove all of them in the head for good measure. “You lot are just jealous.” Trent laced his fingers in yours as you led him away from his boys’ night. Once you reached the bedroom, Trent looked around curiously eyeing the scattered clothes covering the floor. “What am I helping with again?” he asked, taking in the tornado that just ransacked the bedroom.

You let out a sigh, crossing your arms as you surveyed the hotchpotch of outfits, purses, and jewellry around you. “I need you to be my audience,” you frowned, feeling a pang of frustration. “Nothing looks right on me today.” Trent tilted his head, moving his gaze over your frame in awe like he always did when he looked at you. “I doubt that.. you look good in anything,” he replied simply, without a hint of doubt in his voice.

You led him over to the walk-in wardrobe which was now overflowing with your clothes, purses, shoes and half packed boxes. Trent’s eyes widened, taking in the scattered stacks of items that took over his space within the past week. You had finally taken him up on his offer to officially move in – you basically lived here already anyway, so it made sense. The more you unpacked, the more you underestimated how much stuff you were bringing over. You kept your apartment for now, mainly due to your instincts telling you to not fully let it go just yet – it wasn’t that you didn’t trust him, you did, but you always needed a plan B..and maybe a plan C. Even with all the packing, you couldn’t find the perfume diary that was still MIA. You turned your entire place upside down looking for it while packing, but you still couldn’t find it. The notebook had all of your handwritten notes, formulations and every scent memory you pieced together. It was like a personal archive for everything you ever crafted – the foundation of Les Notes d’Amour.

“I think we’re gonna need more space,” Trent gave a suppressed laugh, eyeing the collection of clothes and accessories that claimed the majority of what used to be his space. To make room, he moved a bunch of his own things into a spare room, just to make you more comfortable. 

You rolled your eyes, feeling a bit moody. “Oh? Now we need more space?” you shot back. “You didn’t mention any of that when you kept begging me to move in. I can leave. I have my own space.”

Trent grinned, unfazed by your sassiness for now. “Baby.. I’m just saying. You have a lot of clothes.”

“No. I don’t. Some of us just have taste and like to wear more than trackies and matchday kits..unlike you,” you snarled back. It came out a lot ruder than you anticipated, but he was starting to get on your nerves, so your point still stood for now. Trent placed a hand dramatically over his chest like you wounded him with daggers. “Ouch.. that’s how you really feel, huh?” He still wasn’t all that phased by your moodiness, but he also wasn’t going to let you get away with it the longer you kept it up either.

You sighed, tilting your head back and ran your hand over your forehead. “I’m sorry..I didn’t mean it like that.” You started taking off the dress you were wearing, quickly eyeing for any other pieces that would make you look better than you felt at the moment. “Nothing I put on looks right…it’s really frustrating.” You could feel tears pooling and you lightly dabbed at the corners of your eyes, not wanting him to see how crazy you were for almost crying over an outfit.

“What about that? Put that one on and lemme see you.” He pointed to a two piece set that featured an edgy washed denim corset top that was laced at the front with a matching skirt that had a frayed hem. You looked at yourself in the mirror, tilting your head as you tried to picture wearing it to the Miu Miu event with your sister. Normally, you would’ve loved the look – but you just weren’t feeling your best today. 

Hmm..maybe my man does have taste? This is cute..but I don’t know. 

With a sigh, you slipped into the two piece set and Trent stood behind you, staring in appreciative amazement as his hands settled on the slight curve of your stomach. “Yeah..wear this one, baby. You look fucking unreal.” he murmured against your skin while he drank in your reflection through the mirror. “I’m a lucky man. I’ll never get tired of this view.”

You tried to smile, but him having his hand on that part of your stomach made you tense up. You were cringing internally, suddenly feeling like this was an impromptu maternity shoot. Trent noticed immediately and turned his head to look at you and not the reflection of you in the mirror.

“You okay?”

You nodded, pulling yourself from his embrace. “Yeah..just cramping. I’m okay.” 

It wasn’t a total lie, you were cramping – but that was a symptom of pregnancy too. You kept trying to convince yourself your period would come soon, but the longer it took, the more worried you became. You were praying to every deity by this point, too scared to just check and get it over with for your own peace of mind.

“Oh. That time of the month again?” he asked, watching you as you avoided his gaze and tried to distract yourself by fumbling around with random clothes around the room.

You shook your head, “Um, no.. not yet, but almost.” You turned back at him with a forced smile, trying to change the subject immediately. “But..do I really look good in this?” you motioned to the two piece set you were wearing. “Or are you just saying that so you can go back and watch the basketball game? Be honest. I won’t get mad if you say I look terrible...are you lying to me?”

Trent burst into laughter and cupped your face. “Y/N, you would be pissed if I told you that.” He brushed his thumb over your lips before giving you a tender kiss. “I’m not lying though. You always look incredible. I almost want to convince you to stay here with me.”

You scoffed, knitting your brows and crossing your arms. “So if I did look a mess you’re just going to let me walk around...looking a mess? Without telling me?” It was meant to be a rhetorical question at first, but you kind of wanted to know the answer at the same time.

Trent was not winning this quarrel. Every question was a set-up at this point. He tried to stifle a laugh, realizing he was treading into dangerous territory. “Nah, nah. I’m saying you look good mostly. But you’re telling me you want me to tell you if something’s off?”

You nodded, still crossing your arms. “That’s exactly what I’m saying. Don’t let me go outside looking crazy just because you’re scared I’ll be mad at you.”

“You don’t have that many bad days..so I’m safe.”

Oh, he fucked up with that one.

“Excuse me?? So there’s been days where I looked a hot mess and you didn’t think to mention it?” You leaned in and gave him a cold stare, feeling your irritation grow. There was no winning this for him and you both knew it. Yet he still looked at you with a soft smile – infatuated with every part of you. Trent scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, trying to quickly think of something that wouldn’t have you interrogating him. “Uh...no? That’s not what I meant. You just –”

Before he could dig a deeper hole, you heard the boys downstairs shouting at the top of their lungs about the basketball game.

“THAT’S WHAT I’M FUCKING TALKING ABOUT! LET’S GOOOO! TOO EASY!” Tyler yelled with way too much excitement. The other two joined in, clapping loudly and yelling way too much for your liking. You gave the nastiest eye roll and sighed. “I know it’s not that fucking serious..” you snapped, feeling your patience wearing thinner. “They’re being so loud..and for what? It’s just basketball.”

“It’s a pretty intense game, baby.” Trent tried to explain, but he was amused by your irritability and started laughing at you, much to your displeasure.

“Trent..get out. You’re annoying me so bad right now. Nothing’s funny.”

His smile faded and he moved his hands to your hips, pushing you up against the wall as he stared into your soul. “You wanna try saying that again?”

You let out an exasperated breath, looking at him like he was stupid. You weren’t in the mood for any of his nonsense, so you didn’t back down with the sass. “I said you’re annoying me. Get the fuck out.” You waved your hand toward the door, fully expecting him to just laugh and walk away, but instead he pinned your arms above you. 

“Not keen on that tone of yours” he said in a low voice, his eyes challenging you.

You wanted to say something back, but you couldn’t think of anything witty when you saw the dominating way he was looking at you. You tried to keep your voice steady, but you started stammering over your words. “T-trent. Seriously...just go.”

“Yeah? You want me to go back downstairs? Say it like you mean it then.” he murmured, daring you to push back. He kissed your neck, making you suck in your breath. “I thought you said you needed my help?”

“Trent…we’re not the only people in the house,” you whispered shakily, trying to mask the effect he was having on you. “We can’t.”

“I don’t give a fuck. This is our house.” he breathed against your neck, pulling your skirt up to grip your ass. “Just be quiet for me, yeah? Let me show you how beautiful you are.”

You bit your lip, nodding as he took the set off of you. He guided you forward to position you in front of the mirror, staring back at your naked reflection. Your heart raced as Trent’s hands trailed down your sides. His breath ghosted over your neck and goosebumps appeared on your body when he whispered against your skin, his gaze staring deeply back at your reflection through the mirror. “Eyes on the mirror, baby. Just keep watching. Don’t look away.” He nudged your legs apart with his foot and slipped his long fingers between the folds of your pussy, gliding through the warmth easily with a sensual touch that made you tuck your lips in, struggling to hold back a moan. His hand kept working you and all you could do was stare at the reflective glass while he continued with hunger in his eyes.

“See?” he murmured, dipping his head to kiss the curve of your shoulder while his other hand moved to pull his shorts down. “I told you..” you could feel his dick spring free and push up against your entrance, “you’re beautiful. Now be a good girl for me.” You felt his lips twitch into a grin against your skin, savouring the face you made when he positioned himself to tease you before sliding inside; his dick deliciously filled you up and left you on the verge of moaning loudly.

“Trent..” you gasped, struggling as he began his thrusts in a smooth rhythm, each stroke more intense than the last. “I can’t..” You barely managed to get those three words out, much to his satisfaction based on the smirk you saw on his face in the mirror.

“Yes you can. Arch your back for me, pretty girl.” He slowed his thrusts to a teasing pace to pull your arms behind your back, leaving you squirming as you attempted to arch your back like he told you to. 

Once he started thrusting into you again, you couldn’t hold back any longer and you moaned louder than you wanted to, but you couldn’t control the way he was making you feel; your head fell forward which made your eyes drift from the mirror. Trent stopped and one hand left your arms to grip your chin, lifting it to make you meet your reflection again.

“Nuh uh. Watch yourself.” he commanded. “I can edge you all night. Your choice.”

You nodded, wide eyed with tears streaming down your face from the intensity of it all as he resumed. He increased his pace, using his grip on your hands to buck into you harder. A string of expletives left your lips in a whimper and one hand left your arms to smack your ass. “Shhh..you can take it baby.”

“Mmm fuck,” you hissed, loving the stinging sensation. Your lips parted when you saw him look down to watch the recoil of your ass from his relentless thrusts. He looked back up at you through the mirror and gave you a sinful smirk and then licked his lips.

“T..oh my god” you whispered, catching your own eyes in the mirror when you saw how fucked out of your mind you looked. Your breaths came out in shallow gasps but he kept thrusting, knowing you were getting closer.

“Best view in the house. Y’know that?”

You were struggling to hold back, feeling the tightness in your core winding like a musical box. Trent’s grip on your arms tightened and held you in place as he pushed you to the brink of seventh heaven, but just as you were about to orgasm, he stopped. A strangled cry escaped your lips as tears continued to stream down your face. You tried to push up against him but he stilled you and released your hands. He snaked one arm around your waist while the other hand trailed up to grip your neck.

“You still think I’m annoying?” he whispered in your ear in a teasing, commanding tone as he held you against him. You shook your head ‘no’ in a dazed state, but he wasn’t satisfied with a half answer, he wanted to hear you.

“Say it” he softly commanded again, searing his gaze at you through the mirror. “Talk to me.”

A breathy whine escaped as you tried to grind against him again, seeking the orgasm he was skillfully withholding from you. “Nooooo. You’re not annoying. Trent, pleaseee. I want to cum.”

He hummed in satisfaction, brushing his fingers over your jaw and pressing soft kisses along the side of your neck, trailing up to your jawline. Then he brought his eyes back to the mirror, tracing every detail of your blissed out face and the curves of your body.

“You’re so fucking beautiful, baby. See how pretty you look like this?” he asked, his voice hoarse. You nodded, barely holding back the sounds threatening to spill over. Fucking you was one thing, but fucking you while speaking to you in affirmations had you ready to soak him immediately.

“Yessss, I see it. Please Trent.” you whimpered, biting your lip. Any coherent thoughts you had were long gone. Your pleas drove him further and he picked up his pace, bringing you to the edge again; but this time the tension snapped. He could tell you were about to let out the most sinfully loud moan, so he moved his hand over your mouth, stifling your sounds as you came undone around him; each muscle quaking and pulsing around him with the strength of your orgasm.

“Oh shit,” he strained, struggling to hold back when he felt the way you were squeezing him. His body trembled and you felt his dick start to twitch around you, but you managed to grab his wrist and push up against his hip bone to signal him to pull out just in time. You dropped to your knees and let him finish in your mouth. You touched the patch of skin underneath his balls that always drove him crazy and he groaned your name loudly as he spilled into your mouth, but then his head fell back and hit the wall behind him.

“OW! Fucking hell!” He flinched and grabbed his head like he was just knocked out by the world’s heaviest boulder, making you giggle.

“Aww, you’re fine. So dramatic, aren’t we?” You rubbed the back of his head, pretending to check for any actual damage but you both knew there wasn’t any. You let out a playful sigh as you smoothed a hand over his curls and pulled his shorts back up before giving him a tender kiss on the lips. “Thank you, T...but you were supposed to be helping me with outfits.. not fucking me. Now go. I need to finish packing.”

He eyed you with a lazy grin, still trying to catch his breath. “I did help, though. Wear this one.” He pointed to the set that was now scattered across the floor. You scoffed, patting his chest. “Fine. I’ll wear that one. Now go back and watch Luka Donkick or whatever name they keep screaming about. I’m fine up here.”

Trent laughed and rubbed his head again. “Damn. Not even going to offer me any ice? AXA staff treat me better than my own girlfriend..that’s mad.”

You raised a brow, crossing your arms and flashing a smug smile. “Doubt that. I don’t think the physios have you moaning their names..and if you are moaning their names, I’ll fucking kill you.”

“Ahh, touché. You’re feisty today.” He laughed as he turned toward the door, giving you one last look before he went back downstairs. “I’m gonna see about extending the wardrobe for all your clothes.”

You rolled your eyes with a smirk as he disappeared downstairs, laughter and yelling from the boys followed shortly after. You glanced back at your reflection in the mirror, shaking your head and smiling with a loving glint in your eye. You were in a better mood all of a sudden, maybe all you needed was sex? Sometimes, all a girl needs is the attitude fucked out of her. 

You made your way to your suitcase to finish packing, and you opened it – noticing there was a notebook that looked eerily similar to the one you lost. It was pastel purple, but it looked brand new. You scrunched your brows in confusion, knowing you weren’t the one who put this notebook in your luggage. You noticed your first initial was etched into the front of the notebook, followed by the last two letters of Trent’s initials. He was still keeping up with his marriage joke, of course.

Huh? What is this…? That’s not my initials.

When you opened the notebook, there notes left on multiple pages. The handwriting was unmistakably Trent’s:

I don’t know what all you had written in your other one, but I memorised some things. Maybe we can figure out the rest together?

Me:

Lavender

Geranium

Apple & Mandarin Orange

Vanilla

Cedar & Guaiac Wood

Sandalwood

You:

Vanilla?

Amber maybe?

I smelt marshmallows too I think?

Something else sweet..can’t figure it out yet

Us:

Bergamot 

Cardamom 

Pistachio 

Ylang Ylang 

Jasmine 

Tuberose 

Tonka Bean & Coconut 

??? 

???

I read the other notebook a lot while you were sleeping..wanted to learn how your brain works a little more. Hopefully this one will be just as useful.

I love you for as long as the stars shine, my forever.

- T

You were shocked he wrote down the notes for the fragrance you were testing on him; you couldn’t remember all of the notes yourself, yet somehow he figured them out with his own nose. 

Of course he’s annoyingly good at my job too. What can’t this boy do? 

Finding yourself getting lost in the notebook, you read the notes and doodles he jotted down. He clearly spent a lot of time on this and his doodles were amateur at best, but adorably his. You ran your hands over his words, pausing on a drawing he added under one of the pages – it was a stick figure version of himself grinning beside a smaller stick figure of you. His figure held a football and yours held a perfume bottle – both of the figures hand in hand. Next to that, he drew what looked like a squiggly outline of Les Notes d’Amour and a bunch of happy stick figures lined up outside. Up above the stick figures, there was a tiny sun partially hidden by the moon with lines radiating around it like a beam of light. He tried shading the moon with messy scribbles to make it stand out against the sun. You could practically imagine him frowning and biting his lip in concentration, adding little details to make it as realistic as he could. It was almost poetic and made you feel like you were over the moon with joy. Maybe he didn’t mean to be so deep, but it felt like a symbolic capture of what you both found in each other: an unlikely pairing threaded by fate that just...worked. 

You curled up with the notebook in bed, flipping through the pages and studying each detail Trent added with the type of focus usually only reserved for when you were at work. His handwriting was beautiful and his careful lettering reflected the amount of effort he used to write everything down for you. All the notes, doodles, and quirky additions had you smiling so hard that your cheeks hurt. Maybe you didn’t need the old notebook...this one was better. The longer you looked, the heavier your eyelids grew; eventually the lines and scribbles of his handwriting blurred together. You kept telling yourself you would read just one more page, but before you knew it, you drifted off to sleep still clutching the notebook in your hands. 

Hours later in the night, Trent pulled you from your sleep with his voice. It was edged with unusual seriousness. “Y/N.” He shook you gently, trying to get your attention. “Wake up.”

“Hmm?” you murmured, still half asleep.

“Why is there a pregnancy test in the bathroom?” His voice was steady, but there was a thread of concern in his tone. There were only two girls in the house at the moment – Ezzie and you, he knew it couldn’t be for your sister. It had to be for you.

Your eyes immediately flew open and the grogginess vanished in a second. Your heart sank when you realized you left the test laying around. You didn’t want him to find out this way. You sat up in bed, avoiding his gaze because you felt cornered.

“Uhh...I’m just a little late,” you mumbled, trying not to let the conversation spiral out of control. “But I’ve been cramping so...I probably won’t even need it. It’s fine..no big deal.” You tried to sound casual about it, but you were rationalizing more with yourself than him. Trent nodded, slowly absorbing the new information, but he still looked worried. The dots were starting to connect for him like little constellations in the sky: the moodiness, the sass, your strange cravings for sweets and salty snacks. He noticed the bloat too, but as a man he knew better than to mention that. Plus, he loved whatever your body looked like. He didn’t care.

“You can still take it, right? Just check.” he said softly, studying your reaction. “May be better to go ahead and get it over with for peace of mind for both of us.”

You looked down, fiddling with your shaking hands as you tried to think of an excuse. “I’m really tired Trent.” you whispered, not being able to meet his eyes. “I’ll take it in the morning before I leave. I promise.” Procrastinating for a few more hours seemed logical to you at the moment since you were scared of what the result could be. He sighed, torn between wanting to press you further but not wanting to push you into an anxious spiral. Finally, he nodded and placed the test back on the counter before returning to bed to lay beside you to go to sleep.

--

The next morning, you woke up still feeling anxious. You were up at the crack of dawn, unable to sleep any longer. You grabbed your phone, hoping a doom scroll through social media would be enough to calm your nerves...but it made it worse. The moment you opened Instagram your heart plummeted to your ass. SpillTheBeansUK made a post about you, claiming to have a verified anonymous source confirming your pregnancy. 

-

SpillTheBeansUK 🚨💥 EXCLUSIVE ALERT 💥🚨 Y/N PREGNANT WITH TAA’S BABY?! 👶🏽🍾 According to a very reliable source (you know we love a verified anonymous tip 👀), it looks like Y/N and Trent Alexander-Arnold might be entering their PARENT ERA! 💫 We can’t confirm specifics just yet but we’ve seen proof there’s a little Scouser on the way. ALLEGEDLY 😳

-

You read through the comments, not letting a single thought of yours settle. You never told anyone besides Camille and Trent. Trent wouldn’t send that in himself, that would be ridiculous.

But Camille...she wouldn’t. Would she?

You sprung out of bed to make your way to the bathroom to FaceTime Camille, not even checking the hour. You held your breath until she answered, her face popped up with tousled hair and a pillow crease on her cheek. It didn’t look like she was at home.

“Camille,” you hissed before she could even say hello. “Did you say something?! Have you seen STB’s post?!?”

She blinked back a couple of times, confused with your audacity to question her with something so ludicrous. “What?? NO! Why would I–” She paused and looked away from the screen for a little too long. Your eyes narrowed as you waited for her to finish, tapping your nails impatiently on the edge of the unopened pregnancy test box. She finally looked back at the screen, whispering. “Y/N, I would NEVER,” she insisted, but you could tell by her voice that she knew exactly why you were asking.

You took a deep breath, trying to hold back a long rant. “Why are they saying there’s a ‘verified source’ then? I only told you and Trent..he wouldn’t send something like that to them.”

Camille yawned and stretched out her arm. “That page makes up stuff half the time..they’re probably just running with some random rumour that just so happens to be close to something accurate this time around.” In the background, you could faintly hear voices from a Spanish TV show. This was definitely not Camille’s house, but you let it slide for now.

“Um, no. Not accurate.” You held up the pregnancy test box in front of the camera. “I haven’t taken it yet.”

“Anddd…why not? Why are you dragging it like this?”

You groaned, feeling embarrassment and nerves churning around in your stomach. “Because...if I don’t take it..there’s zero percent chance I’m pregnant until I feel a kick or something, right? But if I take it right now, there’s a fifty percent chance and those odds are way too fucking high right now.” You knew your logic was flawed and sounded more like girl math, but it felt true enough in the moment. “Camille..I really don’t think a baby on my hip is a cute look for me. That’s definitely not my type of lifestyle right now. I’d rather have a dog or something.”

Camille snorted, shaking her head. “Girl..just take the damn test. You sound insane right now.” You knew she was right, so you groaned again and opened the test to read the tiny lettered instructions line by line – you were procrastinating again. Camille rolled her eyes with impatience. “Babe, it’s not rocket science,” she said with a smirk while watching you fumble with the instructions. “Just dip the stick and wait for a couple of minutes until it pops up. Two lines is a yes..one line is a no. You can’t mess it up.”

Her attempt at humour didn’t really ease your nerves but it gave you the final push. With a deep breath, you tore the test open and took it. The next few minutes of waiting for the results to load felt like agony. Who knew three minutes could feel like an eternity. You had the test face down until your timer went off; with a deep sigh you flipped it back over and took a hard glance.

“Oh. My. God.” you covered your mouth, gasping in shock as the results popped up.

“WHAT DOES IT SAY?!?! Don’t edge me like this, girl!” Camille half whispered, half yelled through the screen as if she was trying not to wake someone. You were shaking, almost crying while you stared at the results.

“Wait....is it positive?” she asked, reading your reaction to gauge the results.

You took a deep breath and held up the test in view of the screen, shaking your head. “It’s negative!” you shouted, grinning as relief washed over your face. “Oh my days..I swear I saw my whole life flash before my eyes in those three minutes. Imagine me waking up and there’s a tiny version of Trent staring back at me and pulling at my boobs for milk? In this mess?? Absolutely not.” You patted your stomach, thankful the bloat was likely just a PMS symptom. “Thank you for not betraying me, ovaries.”

Camille burst out laughing, covering her mouth to muffle the sound. “They would probably have his eyes, huh? A googly eyed gremlin running around would be so wild.” she snorted, wiping a tear from the corner of her eye. “Thank god though. Now we can get back to our regularly scheduled madness.” Just as she said that, you noticed there was someone resting their head on her chest with a silky durag tied around their hair.

“Camille...where are you right now? you asked, arching a brow once you realized.

A guilty grin spread across her face. “Barcelona. And before you ask – yes, I am laying in Jules’ bed right now,” she said in a playfully sheepish tone. “He wanted me to fly out for a shoot, okay? That’s all you need to know, babe.” She tilted her head, winking as she ran her nails across the silk on his head. “You know the vibes.”

You giggled, shaking your head at her antics. “Well..I’m glad the French we learned is coming in handy for you outside of the perfume world.” You paused before adding a teasing statement. “La Liga, though? That’s going to get real interesting for El Clásico. I don’t think Jude will appreciate that very much.” Camille stifled her laughter but then stuck her middle finger out at the screen in a playful manner. “Fuck Jude. He’ll get over it.”

After chatting with Camille for a few more minutes, you wrapped up the call to eavesdrop when you heard Trent and your brother’s voice down the hall. They were being very hush-hush about something and it piqued your curiosity. You crept down the hallway, stopping just out of sight to catch bits of Trent and Ziggy’s conversation.

“Yeah, I know what to do.” Ziggy said, sounding more grown up and certain than you had ever heard him before.

“Looking forward to it, mate. I’ll let ‘em know.” Trent replied, pulling Ziggy in for a quick brotherly hug. You were suspicious but you brushed it off, chalking it up to the bond they reignited after the gala. After a while, you couldn't resist breaking into their huddle, so you crept up on Trent and poked his sides with your index fingers, making him jolt in surprise.

“Congrats, you’re not a daddy yet! Just checked. I think we should try for a cute puppy instead, maybe.” you whispered into his ear, adding a cheeky smile. Relief flickered across his face and you wrapped your arms around him, shifting your head to the side to narrow your eyes at Ziggy. “What are you two yapping about now?”

Ziggy looked like he was caught red handed but he recovered quickly and shrugged with a smile. “Uh, nothing. Just footie bants,” he replied innocently, but it seemed like more than that. He changed the subject quickly and put his focus back on Trent.

“Hey, can I stream on your gaming rig? Gonna play some FIFA and maybe some Val with Marcel.”

Trent shrugged and gave him a radiant smile, “You know you don’t have to ask, right? We’re brothers now.” Him and Ziggy dove into the most ridiculously overly complicated handshake you ever saw in your life, and you couldn’t help but roll your eyes at the sheer absurdity.

“Why are you stealing my man?” you asked your brother, sticking your tongue out at him playfully.

Ziggy didn’t skip a beat and fired back before making his way to Trent’s gaming PC. “I found him first” he quipped with the same protective tone he used when you were walking home from the park the day you asked what the older boys’ name was.

Trent turned around and wrapped his arm around you, pulling you in for a soft embrace. “Thank you for the notebook” you murmured, pressing a gentle kiss on his lips. “Didn’t know I had a ‘nose’ as a boyfriend now. I don’t even remember using a marshmallow note...how did you figure that out?” Trent gave you a sly smile as he glanced at you with pride twinkling in his eyes. “I’m learning a little something” he teased, gently squeezing your sides in a similar way you did to him earlier. He looked at his watch and then back at you. “Ready to head out?”

Much to your dismay, taking the train to London was out of the question nowadays. The block was too hot and you were garnering a lot more attention than you did before you met Trent. Being the best boyfriend he could be, he graciously booked a private car service for you and Ezzie. It would be a long drive, but you were thankful he took the time to cater to your needs.

A few hours later, you and Ezzie arrived at New Bond Street in Mayfair. The street was lined with designer boutiques and prestigious brands like Alaïa, Hermes and Burberry to exude luxury that was just as quintessentially London as the red telephone booths dotting the city. Snazzily dressed passerbyers strolled around with designer bags in hand, some holding takeaway coffees from nearby cafés, others glancing at window displays that looked more like curated art galleries than store fronts. The faint sound of heels clicking against the pavement mingled with the ambiance of the street as Ezzie took the scene in, barely able to contain her excitement. Her gaze flickered from storefront to storefront, enchanted by the scene. 

“Oh my days, I’m sooooo excited!” she squealed, bouncing around as she latched onto your arm. “Thank you, thank you, thank youuu! You’re the best sister ever!” She repeated with each step. Her enthusiasm was contagious and you smiled, feeling so overjoyed by seeing her happiness. She had been fashion obsessed since she was a child, so this opportunity was a dream come true for her.

As you scanned the high end stores and their shining windows around you, your thoughts drifted to Trent. A gift felt appropriate for everything he did for you. He was your rock and never once let the chaos of his world intrude on you any farther than it needed to. You wanted to buy him something as a thank you...maybe a watch? You made a mental note to stop in a boutique nearby after the event.

“Are you really pregnant?” Ezzie’s sudden question jolted you out of your thoughts, her voice was lower but it was clear she was curious after seeing SpillTheBeansUK’s post. She must’ve noticed the curious glances you were getting as well. “I thought you said you would never give a boy a baby before a –”

“I’m not pregnant! It’s just a rumour,” you said quickly, hoping to shut down the conversation for now. You still couldn’t shake the possibility of someone in your circle spilling tea about your pregnancy scare, but until you could figure out who it was...it was best not to talk about it with anyone, especially in public – whether you were pregnant or not. Ezzie looked disappointed for a split second, but nodded in understanding as you walked through the doors of Miu Miu.

Inside, the store was transformed from its usual modern look to a more lively setup with sections curated for content creation. Brand representatives moved between influencers and their mini entourages, offering champagne in glass flutes while discussing the different pieces on display. Racks of Miu Miu’s latest collection were arranged meticulously by color and style. You wanted it all, everything was so cute – especially the bags...but that wasn’t what you were here for. Your mum’s words left a fire fueling within you and there was no way you were walking out of the store without securing a deal for your sister. The brand was interested and had already made it clear once they checked Ezzie’s engagement rates on Instagram. The rep you spoke to was pretty receptive, nodding and jotting down notes as you spoke. They eventually agreed to all your terms without much negotiation needed at all.

“You can send the contract to my assistant, Ember. I’ll review and send back” you told the rep, sounding very much like a girlboss as you gave them her email. You glanced over at Ezzie who was chatting animatedly with another girl, she was definitely in her zone. You gave her a thumbs up and she responded with a happy squeal before mouthing another ‘thank you’ across the room.

Yeah, life was hectic for you. Stressful and overwhelming some days, but it was finally coming together. It was like both your world and Trent’s had finally merged into a new universe where you could both belong and exist together. You were in a good mood for once, so you took out your phone and posted a few pictures you took while in London:

SpillTheBeansUK: forever or never?

--

After wrapping up at Miu Miu, you and Ezzie strolled over to another storefront on Regent Street – it was a boutique that specialized in timeless pieces that would make anyone swoon. Regent Street was much like Bond Street and featured a blend of luxury and history in its architecture. People bustled along the pavement, dressed in an array of styles with tourists stopping to snap photos while London locals walked along hurriedly, each on their own mission.

When you stepped inside the store, you were greeted by a polished ambiance. There were rows of glass cases filled with watches, rings and jewellery that glistened under the warm lighting. There were different sections carved out for different types of jewellery like classic rings, wedding bands, and intricate limited edition timepieces.

The watch you chose for Trent was a Patek Philippe timepiece with a midnight blue dial that featured a moon phase indicator. It was the perfect watch considering the full moon had become something special between the two of you, even when you were separated across cities you would both look up at it, knowing your other half was seeing the same silver glow above a star studded sky.

On one particular night, you and Trent stayed back after a match to watch the full moon at a very empty Anfield. It was a lot quieter without the chants from fans filling the stadium, and the moon hung up high to bathe the pitch in its luminescent beauty. Nestled into Trent’s jacket, you leaned against him for warmth. You tilted your head to look at him, smiling. “How do you remember every single full moon?” you asked playfully, giving him a soft nudge on his arm. “Are you Zeus, God of the Sky?”

Trent chuckled with his gaze fixed on the moon as he wrapped his arm around you to keep you warm. “Nah” he mumbled in a hushed tone, like he didn’t want to disturb the moon’s beauty. “I have it on a calendar.” He glanced down at you with a sweet smile. “I know it’s calming for you..and the view’s not bad either.” He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone to capture the moment. The moon felt abnormally large that night as it hung over the pitch, its lighting spilling over both of you. It was breathtakingly stunning and was surrounded by scattered stars like diamonds on velvet, each one faintly glimmering in the dark.

Trent angled the camera up to capture it all: the silent stadium, a sweeping arc of empty seats, the pitch bathed in silvery light, and the two of you – side by side, framed by the vastness above. In the picture, both of you were smiling with your heads leaning together underneath the backdrop of the sky – like a tiny time capsule to commemorate your relationship. Just as he snapped the photo, the sprinklers from the irrigation system burst to life and sent arcs of water over the grass, glistening like tiny crystals in the moonlight.

“Oh shit! Run!” Trent shouted with laughter roaring through his chest as he grabbed your hand to pull you towards the tunnel. Both of you sprinted across the field together as laughter echoed around Anfield, water droplets scattering in every direction. Halfway there, your foot slipped on the wet grass but before you hit the ground, Trent scooped you up with a wide grin and carried you the rest of the way. When you both finally made it to the dry shelter of the tunnel, both of you were absolutely drenched.

“You’re a terrible defender” you teased, laughing as water dripped down your face.

He laughed with you, shaking his head as he set you down. “That’s absolute rubbish and you know it.”

After purchasing the watch, your attention shifted over to a nearby case filled with rings. Your eyes locked onto a delicate diamond band. It was subtle, not too flashy..but incredibly stunning. You felt drawn to it in the same magnetic way you felt drawn to Trent, like the threads of fate had your name engraved on the inside of it. One of the staff took the ring out of the display case and before you knew it, the ring was on your left ring finger. It looked gorgeous against your skin and sat so perfectly on your finger that it felt like more than just good sizing – it felt serendipitous. The ring looked like it belonged to you, like it had been waiting for this exact moment to slip onto your ring finger. You admired it for a little while longer before snapping a joking picture to send to Trent – keeping up with his ongoing marriage jokes.

Maybe MRS does have a nice ring to it 😋💍

Ezzie peeked over your shoulder, grinning as she read the text and made a mental note of the ring size. You didn’t notice it, but she was in on something you had no idea about.

“If Trent proposed..would you say yes?” she asked inquisitively.

The question caught you a bit off guard which made you laugh nervously. You paused for a minute, genuinely thinking about what you would say if he did ask, but then you shrugged. “Hmm..maybe I’d consider it like a year from now,” you stated plainly, turning your hand to catch more of the sparkle from the gems under the light. “There’s just way too much going on right now to be planning a wedding, y’know?” Ezzie gave you a nod, but you didn’t catch her shoot a quick text to someone when she glanced at the ring one more time. She sighed, playing along casually. “Yeah, timing is everything,” she replied. Little did you know, Ezzie had a mission of her own and was tasked with gathering intel on your ring size and how you felt about a proposal.

Then your phone pinged with a response from Trent:

T: What size is that? What store?

You rolled your eyes, knowing he was probably being serious before typing your response:

Wouldn’t you love to know

T: Worth a shot 🤷‍♂️

He was one step ahead of you though.

Always.

Down to the timeline.

Can I get a miu iruma with an affectionate boyfriend headcanon who loves her personality

₊˚ପ⊹ affectionate bf hcs ;

ft. miu iruma from danganronpa * ˚ ✦

tags / cw: male!reader

- initially, miu was surprised that you found her witty personality entertaining. people always get weirded out and annoyed with her very fast so a guy like you is definitely a like change in setting for her

- she might just think you’re messing with her — like, you really don’t think she’s irritating and offensive? that’s new. but she’s quick to accept it, and it even gives her a huge ego boost too. with you around, she feels she doesn’t really have to worry about being ridiculed for her behavior

- but miu shuts up fast and feels insanely vulnerable when you show her affection. at first she might try to say things like “are you trying to fuck with me?” or “w-what’s this all of a sudden?” and be visibly embarrassed, but she’ll gradually become used to it, for the most part

- although she’ll still look like a flustered mess, miu will try to embrace your gentle, intimate ways and might even learn to open up about herself more freely

- besides that, miu cares about you a lot. she won’t stand for anyone making fun of her boyfriend. we all know she doesn’t hold back with her insults, so unless you calm her down or someone else makes a snappy comeback, she will go all out

- speaking of which, as much as you love her personality, you should probably help her to not back down easily

- even if miu doesn’t express her feelings for you the same way you do for her, she’ll show you she cares not only because of the way she’ll defend you, but also by giving you little inventions. small stuff that makes everyday stuff more easy and convenient. if you want to buy something, she swears she could make you it and 10x more better than the original product, as the gorgeous girl genius she is!

a/n: I wrote this as I watched gameplay of the v3 fourth class trial

[plaindangan]

"Miu sucks at twerking", "Miu is an embarrassment", "miu is a pushover"

Miu had FUCKING ENOUGH! She has mega fat tits, golden brain and killer looks, money, and heck she’s probably the second strongest girl out of her class! It’s time those LOOSERS see her her as the TOP TIER PEAK OF WOMAN EVOLUTION she claims to be~ she’ll stop at nothing, even upgrading mechanically entirely or switching her dna somehow with her inventions. Time for the world to begin admiring, and jealousing the crude rude "biggest best bitch of the century!"

Disclaimer: R18 material! If not to your liking then please do not view!

It took her months to get this form. So much time burning the midnight oil to research how to alter her DNA! So many weeks trying to get a stable machine up and running! So many days studying and researching how to make herself PERFECT!!!!

...But she did it!

Miu fucking did it!!

She...she was now perfect!

So perfect that she called the worst person she knew of - Kokichi, obviously - over to her lab to not only witness her new form, but get him to be so enamored with her that he would be BEGGING to become her new toy~

Speaking of which...he should be sneaking in her lab now~

"Heeeeeeeeeey!! You rang? I hope this is worth it since my scheduled Miu bugging time isn't for another three hours!!" Kokichi said casually...though strangle the foul-mouthed braggart of an invetor wasn't there to lewdly boast about her next conquest. Yet, she was nowhere to be found. Well, nowhere except the main lab, which he hasn't walked into yet. Maybe she was there?

"Miuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu! Hey, hey, hey, silicone chest, you in here?!!" shouted Kokichi as he opened the door, but the room was pitch black. But, he did hear her voice.

"I'm in here...Kokichi~" Hm? Curious Kokichi walked inside...and was startled as the door immediately closed and locked behind him. Oh boy, he was in for it now. The lights came on - and in front of him was the 'New' Miu.

"How do I look, baby?~"

The immediate notice one would find with Miu was that she was towering over Kokichi at a solid 6"9 ft, not including the platform heels she was wearing as well. The second thing he would notice would be her eyes. Replacing her usual striking blue eyes were cybernetic ones with pink pupils looking deep within the supreme leader's soul. Those wouldn't be the only thing mechanical about her now, as his eyes would be glued to her arms - mostly since she was now holding and stroking his chin.

"Like what you see, ya little gremlin?~" Miu said softly. Despite being metallic, her hands felt as warm as an actual hand was. It's from this touching would Kokichi notice her arms...and how ripped they were. She looked as if she could bench press a car and be none the tired for it. But this was all small potatoes to the outfit she was wearing.

In this case, Miu was wearing a toga of sorts. If Kokichi had to guess it was to showcase her superiority was a 'goddess' now, or something (at least that what she was probably thinking). To be fair, she did at least have the look to warrant being called that downpat.

For instance, her boobs, her pride and joy, were very distracting now, having being expanded by some method of Miu to make them huge and sloshy with each small bit of movement she made. If he had to guess they were probably H-cups(?) but he doubted Miu cared for specifics beyond being 'bustier than every single woman on Earth'. The toga itself was struggling to contain the 'new load', with Kokichi getting a good look at her rack thanks to a heart shaped cleavage in the toga and, even then, her erect nipples were prominent at the front as well. Meaning, she also wasn't wearing a bra.

As his gaze went lower, Kokichi would see more of Miu's 'additions' to herself. Her newly form 12-pack that was very much showing from how tight the toga clung to her belly. Miu's strong, curvy, thighs that matched well with her new robo-arms and dense muscles. A big, ripe, juicy peach that could suffocate someone ten times over. That's not even getting into minor details such as her lips being plumped up as well. Or how her hair, now in a long pony tail, reached right to her ass and had a silver streak running down the middle. From fanged teeth, to a long, Genocider-like tongue fit wriggling in her mouth, all of this had Miu looking at Kokichi in pride and a manner of soft arrogance.

"Just admit it: The way I am now, there is nobody that can ever topple me. I am the golden standard of women now! Someone that you can't help but worship. Be amazed, little gremlin, since you are the first to ever witness my new form! Bask in it, and love it!! Give me the praise that I deserve, and I may even reward you. With. A. Night. Of. Fun...well. There's always a good chance you'd just get a kiss on the hand. But, hey, a kiss from me is still a million times better than those other whores!! Ohohohohohoho!!! So, what do you say?!!! Care to praise the new me?"

...

...

...

"Eeeeehhhhh, nah, I pass." said Kokichi flatly and turned on his heels to leave.

Something that had Miu absolutely flabbergasted. Running across to block his path, she looked down at the dictator and glared.

"What the fuck do you mean 'nah, I pass'?!!! Just look at me!!!! I'm absolutely gorgeous, you little shit!!! How can you just pass up on that?!!!!"

"Meh, not reaaaaaally my kinda style. Especially with all that modification you're doing. Just feels all fake, you know? Have fun roping in some other gooner or whatever." Kokichi said, skipping out towards the door further, only to be stopped by Miu again. Glaring down at him and smirking.

"Y-you don't realize your position, do ya?!! Do you really think I'll let your twink ass just waltz on out at me, just like that?!! Hahahahaaha...I'm getting that 'praise' from you one way or the other and there's nothing you can do about it!!!"

"...You sure about that?~" Kokichi asked, his face twisting from bored to sinister with a smirk. Hm? Slowly, Kokichi pulled down his pants...and Miu knew she was in trouble from two things.

His cock smelt incredibly damn musky that it took all of her systems to force Miu not to pass out yet. God, it reeked so much...but it smelt so good too? What would feel like with her new hands? What would it taste like with her new long tongue swirling on it and licking it clean? A-a-a-and....how good would it be to have that inside of her ass or even pussy?~

As for the second thing that had her in trouble, well, when Kokichi is flashing you an seven inch cock that was gradually pointing upwards at you, with a set of rather full balls with with creamy goodness...admittedly it was very hard not to fantasize about gurgling and fondling and fucking it until he was completely dr-...

...Oh, when did she drop her toga?

When did she wind up on her bed?

And when the Hell did Kokichi not only complete stripping naked, but was also mounting her?!!!

"What's the matter, I thought you wanted to be 'praised', I'm just gonna give you what you wanted!! Aren't you glad?!! Neeheeheehee!!" he giggled, and after a brief moment...Miu decided to cut her losses.

"Fuck it, just don't you dare pull out~"

"Your wish is my command~"

-

Plapplapplapplapplapplapplapplapplapplapplapplaplapplapplap!!!!!!

"FFFFFFUUUUUCCCCK!! YESSSSSSSSSSS!!! ROUGHEEEEEEEER!! ROUGHEER, YA LITTLE GREMLIIIN!!! KNOCK UP THE GREATEST CYBORG ON EARTH!!!! THE MOTHER OF THE PERFECT SPAAAAWWWWNNN!!! DO! NOT! STOPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!! A-A-AAAAAAAAAHHH!! THAT'S IT, THATS ITTTT! THAAAAATSSSSSSSS ITTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!"

"W-woowwwww, y-yyou reaaaaaallly gotten louder with the upgrades, huh?" Kokichi said, chuckling away. At the moment, he was currently mating pressing the shrieking, fuckhappy robot. By now the room smelled strongly of semen, sweat, and faintly of oil, but neither really cared at the moment. All that mattered was continuing to break this 'goddess' in, no matter how many rounds (they were currently on nine) it took.

No matter how much they overflow her aching, needy, holes with the 'attention' she craved for and thensome~

UkuShou Ft. their daughter Miu / CRUNCH !

[funishment-time]

just some v3 post-ch3 thoughts

i really do not mean to Start Shit by saying this, because i love Shuichi and Maki too, but Shuichi is like, so mean to Miu in a way he isn't to Maki. they're both Weird to him, and both just as useful (Miu is consistently right very early on, but no one listens to her), yet i guess because Miu is more vulgar...? i dunno.

overall actually it's odd to me that Shoo2 and Kaito bend over backwards for Maki, who as far as they know could be a danger, and not Miu, who IMO isn't and is just a larger Hiyoko.

i don't really blame the boys for this, though. i think on a meta narrative level it's because Miu is an OP game-breaker and if she loved and trusted everyone, or even a small Poo-dent Council of Slaves, she could just invent them all out of a ton of Situations. (look at Kaede: she wins over Miu immediately for something EXTREMELY helpful.)

it wasn't enough to write Miu as very paranoid, because Maki's closed-off, too. wasn't enough to make her shit on everyone, either, because Maki is quite cold to Kaito and Shuichi. i imagine it was probably easier for Kodaka and co to just write Shoo (and Kaito, and many others) as Inexplicably Dismissive of Miu. at least Shoo is concerned in the FTs when she's trying to Hurt Herself, though he has other kind-of mean thoughts i'm not a fan of

again: no hate on any of these characters, i love them. i think i'm just Biased and wish someone had gone "hey, if we're kind of attentive to Miu, she eases up a little and maybe we can Use Her Skills for stuff"

also i guess i'm really only halfway thru the game so maybe all of this is a total Moot Point. or maybe it's the actual point: Kaede had an Emotional Intelligence that our current protagonist(s) don't quite possess, so she had to go

Uchusen Vol.184 (Spring 2024) Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger | Detail of Super Sentai ft. Main Cast & Staff Interviews (translations below)

Publication: April 1, 2024

Iuchi Haruhi x Hayama Yuki x Suzuki Miu

"First, regarding the three of you, we'd like to ask, what motivated you to pursue the entertainment industry and acting in the first place?"

Iuchi: When I was in my second year of middle school, I saw the TV drama "Death Note" starring Kubota Masataka-san, which motivated me to become an actor. When I was in elementary school, I was really lacking confidence and always wanted to be someone other than myself, so when I saw Death Note, I felt that I could become someone else if I was an actor.

Hayama: I joined my current agency at 16 after being contacted in Osaka. At the time, I wanted to become a hairstylist, and at first I was thinking of turning down their offer, but the agency contacted me for over six months, and my mother said, "Since they're going this far, why don't you take atleast one audition?" And so, I took it and passed, and now I'm sitting here (laughs). I can say this now, but I did my first job without knowing what I was doing……But as I did it, I learned to enjoy the work, and from there I decided to become an actor.

Suzuki: When I was little, I was a regular reader of "Nicola," a fashion magazine for middle schoolers, and I'd carry it with me everywhere I went every day. It started when my sister recommended that I audition as an exclusive model. I applied when I was in my fifth year of elementary school and made it to the final round, but was rejected there. I was so disappointed, that I applied on my own the following year and was accepted.

"Why did you decide to also pursue acting after joining as a model?"

Suzuki: It started when I took acting lessons at my agency. At first, I wasn't very good at the lessons, but after 2-3 years, I had a moment where I felt that acting was fun. It all started with something trivial during a lesson, but from there I wanted to become better, and now I'm working hard at acting.

"Have you watched any of the previous Super Sentai or other tokusatsu productions?"

Hayama: I loved "Kamen Rider Kabuto," and had the transformation items for all the Kabuto Riders and I used to play with them with my younger brother.

Iuchi: I also watched alot of them. My house was full of Kamen Rider toys and my cousin's house was full of Super Sentai toys, so we used to play with them at each other's houses. I remember "Kamen Rider Wizard" being my favorite.

Suzuki: My older sister liked Super Sentai, so because of her, we used to watch "Mahou Sentai Magiranger" together. The other day, when Director Watanabe Katsuya asked me, "Have you seen any of the older tokusatsu shows?" I said, "I watched Magiranger!" and he said, "I used to film that too." I was deeply moved and happy to think that I'm now creating new heroes together with the people who created heroes for me to admire when I was a kid.

Hayama: Someday, we'll also become the ones who people admire.

Suzuki: I want to become one!

Iuchi: There's no doubt.

"What were your first impressions of Boonboomger?"

Iuchi: When I saw the materials for Boonboomger at our meeting, I felt that the designs and naming were back to the "taste" of the old days compared to the recent Super Sentai (laughs).

Hayama: When I read the script, my impression was that Boonboomger would be a cheerful and easy to understand show that both parents and children could enjoy together.

Suzuki: When I first saw the visuals, I thought it was quite original (laughs). It's like it was etched into my mind at first sight. The tires being slapped onto their faces leaves an unprecedented impact.

"How do you feel about the characters you're playing?"

Hayama: I had heard that he was a really cool character, and that's what I thought when I read the script, but as the story progressed I couldn't help but wonder……Is Ishiro really that cool? (laughs). My impression of him changed.

Suzuki: Mira is an innocent, energetic and cheerful mood maker, and I get the impression that she's similar to me. I think it's very easy to play, and that I'm able to project what I have into the role.

Iuchi: My first impression of Taiya was that he was interesting but difficult. When I read a script, to form my first impression, I often think about how the character's personality is similar to that in an anime or movie, but that didn't come out at all with Taiya. Gradually, I'm trying to find my own version of Taiya.

"What were your first impressions of each other?"

Iuchi: I've been together with Yuki-kun since the audition. I was Red and Yuki-kun was Blue, which is a common combination, and while everyone at the audition was nervous, my first impression of Yuki-kun was that he was sharp, cool, and very much Blue. It's completely different now (laughs).

Hayama: Hey?! (laughs).

Iuchi: Once I got to know him, there wasn't a hint of coolness (laughs).

"What about Suzuki-san?"

Iuchi: My first impression at the meeting was that she's someone who pays close attention to her surroundings, and she gives off the image of treating each person in the way they'd like to be treated.

Suzuki: That was your first impression?! I'm glad (laughs).

Iuchi: My impression of Suzuki-san hasn't changed (laughs).

"Hayama-san, what about you?"

Hayama: As Haruhi mentioned, I often worked with him from the early stages of the audition. I wasn't aware of it at first, but Haruhi had also passed the audition, and I was happy that the partner I was competing with for so long was there. My first impression of Haruhi was that he was a quiet person. But when it comes to acting, his voice changes, or rather, the way he speaks changes. His on and off switch is amazing. Now that I can see more of Haruhi's natural side, the image I get is that he acts appropriately for his age (laughs).

"What about your impressions of Suzuki-san?"

Hayama: The four male members of Boonboomger are surprisingly shy, and when we're unsure of what to say, Miu-chan will talk to us and bring the four of us together, so I have the image that she's a caring person. Now, she's surprisingly outspoken and is showing new sides of herself.

"Suzuki-san, what are your impressions of these two?"

Suzuki: Haruhi-kun has a very distinct voice. I got the impression that he was someone who spoke in a very calm and comfortable tone. Also, at the first costume fitting, when they asked if anyone had any problems with their costume, Haruhi-kun raised his hand and said, "I don't know how to walk in these sneakers." The heels on Taiya's sneakers are about 6cm high, and I was really impressed by the way he walked in a very unusual way, without bending his knees, he looked like a penguin (laughs).

Iuchi: They had a high bottom like heels. I've never worn heels before, so I didn't know how to walk in them (laughs). I ended up having the insoles lowered so I could walk safely.

"What about Hayama-san?"

Suzuki: My first impression was that he was a cool person. It's different now (laughs). He's very silly, very meddling, and an interesting Kansai person.

Hayama: How strange (laughs).

"Filming has progressed and we think you've gotten a feel for your characters, but what parts of your performance are you mindful of?"

Iuchi: As mentioned earlier, I still haven't fully grasped Taiya himself yet, but I decided to create Taiya not by thinking about him, but by thinking about the kind of character he is when he's with "this person." I'm getting to know Taiya through his relationships with the people around him, such as the sense of distance between him and Ishiro, and between him and Mira.

Hayama: There are many things about Boonboomger and our character's pasts that I can't talk about yet, but I've had the opportunity to learn more deeply about Ishiro's relationships and the way he interacts with people, and thanks to that, I feel I have a better grasp on my performance as Ishiro.

Suzuki: It's a small detail, but when I speak with a loud voice, my voice tends to come from higher up. However, Mira is an aggressive kid who's always moving forward on her own, so I try to act with the image of putting her voice forward as much as possible. When I saw the broadcast of the first episode, I felt that my voice came out too high, so now I'm trying to express Mira's momentum by bringing my voice forward.

"Did you two get any feedback on your performance from watching the finished footage?"

Iuchi: Taiya's a character who isn't overly emotional, but the Director pointed out that I was too conscious of this and that there was little intonation in my line delivery. When I watched the first episode again, I realized that when the sound effects and BGM were added, my dialogue was drowned out and lost. My voice is loud during battle scenes, but I thought it sounded kind of monotonous in other scenes. I felt that alittle more inflection and speed could be added from the time I'm Taiya before transforming into BoonRed.

Hayama: For me, it was more a reflection than a new discovery. At first, there were parts where I didn't fully understand what the Director was saying, but after watching the footage, I finally realized what it was he was trying to say. I'd like to make the most of it in future shoots.

"After watching the footage, It seems that everyone's performance may change in future episodes. So, is there anything you'd like to challenge yourself with in Boonboomger?"

Iuchi: I'd like to act with more emotion. Like Mira, she's happy, angry, or sad to the fullest, Taiya hasn't had a scene like that yet, so I'd like to try it.

Suzuki: I'd like to try the so called "swapping episode." The other day, we all practiced for a possible situation where our roles have been swapped. For example, I tried predicting what Ishiro would be like in Mira by saying certain lines. So, if there was a swap, I think everyone would be able to do it at a pretty high level (laughs).

Hayama: For me it's action. The first time I practiced action, it was so difficult that I couldn't imagine what it would be like to film it while acting and saying lines. But, I think I can learn alot from it, so I want to give it a try.

"And finally, please tell us some key points to watch out for to make Boonboomger even more enjoyable."

Hayama: Some may feel that Ishiro is a cold person based on his attitude toward Mira at first, but he's a character kinder than anyone else. He doesn't view things with a biased perspective, and is a man who treats people with respect. So, as the story progresses, please pay attention to the relationships between Ishiro and the people around him. I especially hope people look forward to his relationship with Mira.

Suzuki: The five of us are all unique, and if we were in the same class, we would never belong to the same clique. What will happen to these five going forward? I think we may clash with each other when we're together, but how will we change and "become one color"? I'd like you to pay attention to that.

Iuchi: I'd also like you to pay attention to the battle scenes. The staff told me that they place importance not only on coolness, but on how to incorporate a comical touch to the coolness. The voice actors adlibs are also amazing, for example, in the first episode, Mizuki Nana-san, who plays Ittasha, adlibbed "Ka-click" before saying "Ignition," and Matsumoto Rica-san, who plays Bundorio, also adlibs, which is always fun. Because I've read the scripts, I can see that there are alot of lines that aren't in them, and I think you can especially see that in the battle scenes. I'd be very happy if you could pay attention to the comical side within the coolness.

Saito Ryu x Soma Satoru

"First, please tell us how you both became interested in the entertainment industry and acting."

Saito: When I was in my second year of high school, I won the Grand Prix in the Junon Superboy Contest, and that's when I entered the entertainment industry. When I was in middle school, I had the opportunity to think about my career path, but at that time I couldn't find what I wanted to do. However, I admired heroes and wanted to do something to help others, and after that I studied to become a high school teacher. Still, since we only have one life, I wanted to do something even bigger, so I applied to Junon, and that's when I decided to pursue a career in the entertainment industry.

"Does that mean you admired (super) heroes? Did you watch tokusatsu shows?"

Saito: I watched Super Sentai and Kamen Rider. Heroes who purely fight for the sake of others are cool, I admired them. Boys like that kind of thing even after they grow up, don't they? I thought that I wanted to get a job where I could protect people, like a firefighter, policeman, or a school teacher who leads people.

"BoonBlack, who's also a police officer, is a perfect role for Saito-san."

Saito: This character is the very embodiment of my dream!

"Soma-san, what about you?"

Soma: When I was in high school, I was thinking about what I wanted to do, but nothing came to mind. I thought that I might be able to change if I came to Tokyo, so I moved to Tokyo, found employment, and worked in sales for four years. I had alot of connections during that time, and as I worked at my current agency, and was given the opportunity to do things like model, my desire to do acting grew stronger……and that's how it all started.

"What kind of roles do you want to play?"

Soma: I'd like to play characters who are psychopaths (laughs). Genba Bureki isn't a psychopath, but he's a mysterious person whose true identity is unknown, so I think there are some similarities. I've always wanted to take on a role like that, so I'm really looking forward to discovering many new things about myself by playing the role of Genba.

"Saito-san, you said you admired heroes, so can you tell us about the tokusatsu shows you watched during your childhood?"

Saito: I'm from the generation of "Engine Sentai Go-onger," but I was really into "Kamen Rider Ghost." I love historical stories, especially "Romance of the Three Kingdoms," so I was waiting to see if any generals from the Three Kingdoms would appear in Ghost.

Soma: I used to watch "Kamen Rider 555" and "Kamen Rider W," and for Super Sentai, I still have the "Ninpu Sentai Hurricanger" book that I got in preschool at my parents house.

"Soma-san later made an appearance in Avataro Sentai Donbrothers……"

Soma: After playing the role of a playboy (the one who tried to pick up Sononi in episode 8), I finally became a hero this time (laughs). The first filming location for Boonboomger was the same for me in Donbrothers, so I thought, "This is where I was picking up women!" It's kind of inappropriate to say though (laughs).

"When it was announced that the two of you would be appearing in the next Super Sentai production, including your family, what was the reaction from those around you?"

Saito: I didn't tell my family until the very last moment before the production announcement. On the day of the announcement, I told them in a video call that, "I'm going to be playing the role of Black in the next Super Sentai." My father, mother and older sister froze for a moment and then burst out laughing for some reason (laughs). They congratulated me, but then my mother immediately said, "More importantly, there's no snow in Akita, so we can't make snow huts (kamakura)." I thought, "What do you mean more importantly?!" (laughs). No matter how hard I tried to explain it to her, my mother kept talking about snow huts. Especially since I don't come from a family that makes a living off building them (laughs). Still, rather than them expecting too much, I think I preferred it being this easy, so I didn't feel any pressure.

Soma: I think my mother was particularly pleased. Also, my older sister has a 3 year old child, so I'm hoping that when they're older, they'll watch Boonboomger. I want to tell them that their uncle is a Boonboomger.

Saito: If my nephew asked me to "Henshin!" I think I'd do it immediately (laughs).

Soma: I'd call Ono Yukimasa-san (BoonOrange's Suit Actor) to transform for me (laughs).

"What were your initial impressions of Boonboomger during the auditions?"

Soma: At the time of the audition, I didn't even know the name "Boonboomger" yet. However, when I read the script, I felt that the atmosphere would be alittle different compared to recent Sentai.

Saito: I went into the audition thinking that I wanted to be Red, but my image of Red was that from older productions……I imagined Red as a super hot blooded and serious character, but Taiya isn't like that at all. Rather, I'm more like Jou, and as a result, I perfectly fit into his character (laughs).

Soma: Since I'm 27, I didn't aim for Red. I have the impression that recent Sentai casts include older members among the younger ones, so I was auditioning with a pinpoint aim for that position.

"Did you two meet each other at the audition?"

Soma: We met in the third or fourth round of the audition, right?

Saito: I remember my impression at that time. Satoru-kun was really mysterious and I didn't know what he was thinking. Because it was an audition, everyone was very intense, but for better or for worse, only Satoru-kun was just mysterious. He was so laid back, but he had such a strong presence that I thought, "Who is this guy?" That's why I was scared of him at first. But when I talked to him, I found out that he wasn't like that at all (laughs).

Soma: He spoke clearly and had a fresh feel to him, and I felt at ease knowing that he wouldn't be playing the same role as me.

"What are your impressions of Red, Blue and Pink?"

Saito: To be honest, from the beginning of the audition, I felt that Haruhi and Yuki-kun were Red and Blue.

Soma: That's for sure.

Saito: Haruhi's voice and way of speaking are truly Red. The moment I heard his voice at the audition, I immediately "shifted gears" that Haruhi was already Red (laughs). It's not good to focus solely on Red, as Yuki-kun's way of speaking and personality are also Blue. Then I thought about what I could do and gave it a try.

"What about Suzuki-san?"

Saito: I'm not very good at remembering women's faces and names, and I don't really remember much about Miu-chan from the audition……However, I was impressed by a girl who gave me a fist bump, and later I found out that that girl was Miu-chan (laughs).

"Now, please tell us about the characters you're playing."

Saito: Jou's a character with a high amount of freedom, and I'm often asked to adlib or "try something" on set. It's a really incredible role, but it's difficult. The other three male members are cool or mysterious and don't show much emotion. Jou shows his emotions, so I try to express them through my face and body, but it's still difficult. I'm learning how difficult it is to express myself, because I sometimes feel that I'm not expressing myself well, or that it's unnatural. I hope to bring out more of the pitiful and clumsy, yet still lovable character of Jou.

Soma: Up to the current episode that's aired, there are many aspects of Genba that even I don't understand. However, he's the kind of character who will reach out to you when you need him, so I hope I can express both his sketchiness and kindness. He's a character I've never played before, so it'll be difficult.

"What are you mindful of when playing your roles?"

Soma: I'm the oldest of the Boonboomger members, and Genba is also older than the other characters, so I'm conscious of giving off a sense of seniority by speaking in a calm manner. And then there's being suspicious (laughs).

Saito: I feel that Jou's a character that's as close to me as possible, and I think it'd be good if I could bring him closer to me. However, when I try to express Jou's straightforward feelings, I find it difficult to do so. Because the character is so close to me, it's difficult to express the parts of him that are different from me.

"Was there anything that the Director told you during filming that left an impression on you?"

Saito: Director Watanabe Katsuya told me, "You're a rugged and passionate guy like the old Reds, give it your all." I was happy and could feel the Director's passion.

Soma: Genba's hair is orange and permed, so the Director's first order to me was, "I don't want him to come off as a player." I was conscious of the way I spoke and the tone of my voice, keeping my voice low so it doesn't sound too loud.

"Have you spoken with the post transformation Suit Actors?"

Saito: At the beginning of the story, when Jou doesn't appear much and doesn't transform, I didn't have much of a chance to talk to Shige-san (Ito Shigeki). However, I had alot of performances where I was suspended by wires, and Shige-san gave me advice on how to move.

Soma: I can't talk about BoonOrange in detail yet, but I'm trying to make him look more mature while talking with the Suit Actor Ono Yukimasa-san and the Directors. Other than my own role, I'm paying attention to the performance of the Nejiretta. Within Boonboomger, I like the Nejiretta the most!

Saito: Satoru-kun imitates the Nejiretta any chance he can get (laughs).

"Going forward, is there anything you'd like to do in an episode of Boonboomger, or is there anything you'd like to try as an actor?"

Soma: I'd like to do a swapping episode, which may become an annual thing. I'd like to play a character that I'd never play, someone like Mira.

"In our interview with Suzuki-san, she also mentioned that she'd like to do a swapping episode. However, she predicted that Ishiro would be in Mira (laughs)."

Soma: She's been taken (laughs). But, it'd be fun to swap characters with anyone.

Saito: You love the Nejiretta so much, that you'd swap with one of them (laughs).

Soma: I'll go all out when the time comes! (laughs).

"Saito-san, what about you?"

Saito: I'd like to do a battle scene before the transformation. Of course, I want you to see Black's battle after his transformation, but I also want to fight myself. I've been taking action lessons and I think I can do some basic things, so I'd like to do some pure action scenes. I hope the time will come when I can show you the results of my daily muscle training (laughs).

Soma: When changing clothes, everyone else changes in the dressing room, but he changes his clothes on set and shows off his muscles (laughs).

Saito: I'll pull myself together and make sure I'm ready for you all to see me without being embarrassed (laughs).

"And finally, could you tell us about some key points to watch out for to make Boonboomger even more enjoyable?"

Saito: I think Super Sentai in recent years has had many heroic action scenes, and the Robo battles are also very powerful. I hope you'll enjoy the real thrill of tokusatsu. And then there are the Sanseaters. They're not just villains, but rather, lovable characters who are somewhat clumsy, so I think you'll enjoy it even more if you pay attention not only to us Boonboomgers, but also to the enemy characters.

Soma: Don't forget the Sanseaters and Nejiretta (laughs). The members of Boonboomger have distinctly different colors and personalities, so I think you'll be able to discover new aspects of each character every time. I'd be happy if you enjoy discovering these new aspects of every character each time you watch.

Producer Kuji Yoshito x Main Writer Tomioka Atsuhiro

"Kuji-san has been involved in the production of many Super Sentai series, but this is his first interview with this magazine. May we ask about your background?"

Kuji: I joined Toei in 2011, and was one of the rare new employees at Toei who loved tokusatsu (laughs). I was involved with "Space Sheriff Gavan The Movie," and for Super Sentai, "Zyuden Sentai Kyoryuger" and later "Shuriken Sentai Ninninger," but after that, I was transferred to the Educational Video Department and was separated from tokusatsu. Last year, I heard about the use of LED walls in King-Ohger and was very interested, so I gathered information within the company and visited the filming location. I don't think this had anything to do with it, but I was later transferred to the Drama Planning and Production Department and joined the team as a Producer for King-Ohger. As a tokusatsu enjoyer, this was something I couldn't have hoped for, but on top of that, as I was entrusted with the job, I was told that, "You'll also be the Chief Producer of the next Sentai…"

"In addition to the production currently being aired, he'd soon take charge on a new one…! Did you have an idea who the Main Writer would be at that point?"

Kuji: I originally loved "Battle Spirits," which Tomioka-san wrote for. Because of that impression, I was hoping to work with him someday. So, as soon as I started thinking about the new project, I consulted with Tsukada Hideaki, who had worked with Tomioka-san on the anime "Fuuto PI" as Chief Director, and said, "I'd like to meet Tomioka-san! Please introduce me!"

Tomioka: Suddenly, I received an e-mail from Toei, so I assumed it was a request from Toei Animation.

"Tomioka-san has participated in many productions by Toei Animation, such as ONE PIECE and Dragon Ball Super."

Tomioka: When I read it carefully, I was so happy that I jumped up and down because it was a request for a live action production, which I had longed to do. However, there was no mention of the "to" character for "tokusatsu" in the e-mail, so when it was decided that we would meet……I wondered if I'd be able to write about "Kasouken no Onna." After hearing about the Super Sentai series, I wanted to write a live action drama, which is why I originally entered this industry, and furthermore, I wanted to write a tokusatsu hero story, so I said, "I'll do it!"

Kuji: He was very enthusiastic. I was also very happy because we were taking a chance. Joining in on Tomioka-san's high motivation, the conversation proceeded at a rapid pace from there.

"What was the reason you originally wanted to write tokusatsu?"

Tomioka: I love toys! Even when I was working on my debut work in anime "Brave Exkaiser," I was collecting toys of the Gattai Robos. I always wanted to write a tokusatsu show that's closely intertwined with the toys, but I could never find the right opportunity to do so. And then, Kuji-san approached me. I had written stories for various productions in the past while keeping pace with the toy release schedule, so there was no trouble in creating the story. When I heard that the motif this time was cars, I was excited and thought, "I can do car action!" but then I calmed down and realized that you can't really do car crashes in the city nowadays. Nagahara Hideichi-san, my Scriptwriting mentor, wrote "Seibu Keisatsu" in which they drive an armored car through Ginza and had car action, so I'd like to create a world like that someday (laughs).

"It was decided from the beginning that cars would be one of the motifs, right?"

Kuji: Although the keyword was ultimately decided after discussions with TV Asahi and Bandai, I originally wanted to use "creative" as a keyword. Of course, there are many Sentai productions that use cars as a motif, but if we were to upgrade them to modern values, I thought it would be possible to incorporate the "manufacturing" that children are familiar with from videos and games. For example, in the past, the super machines would be given to them by a large organization or an unknown entity like, "We'll give this to you guys!" So instead of that, I thought that building and riding machines from their own hands would be an easier choice for admiration in the modern day. From there, I expressed to Tomioka-san this desire to portray a team doing something creative while gathering together for a mission.

Tomioka: In other words, it's like "Fast & Furious" (laughs). In addition, it's tempting to make cars talk as a way to appeal to younger viewers, but if you're really conscious of the fact that they're cars, it's better not to make them talk. I wanted to express that a machine is the best it can be because of the awesome power of the human driver. Also, in addition to the Boonboom Cars, the five of them would've had a car (through production), and I suggested that their occupations be car related, but that didn't work out……As you can imagine, we can't send out five cars all at once.

"At the same time as Tomioka-san, was pilot Director Nakazawa Shojiro also sent an offer?"

Kuji: When I was thinking about the image of the heroes I wanted to create, I wanted a Director who would take the direction I had created with Tomioka-san and push it even further beyond our imaginations. I think that Nakazawa-san is a Director who adds twists to the story, not just pure coolness. I asked Nakazawa-san to direct the pilot because I wanted him to take Boonboomger to a place where my sensibilities couldn't go. Besides, Tomioka Atsuhiro x Nakazawa Shojiro was the combination I most wanted to see. This combination is "alchemy" at its finest.

"Because of the use of LED walls in the previous work King-Ohger, we think there was more filming on set than on location. On the other hand, in this production, there's alot of filming on location due to driving cars. What were your guidelines for filming?"

Kuji: They really pushed King-Ohger to the limits to see how far they could go with their technological capabilities. This allowed the staff to share the work "calories" for each process. As Tomioka-san mentioned earlier, it's difficult to produce five regular theatrical cars. However, I had alot of discussions with the staff about the possibility of producing many Boonboom Cars by using assets (3DCG model data). Live compositing is used to represent the Boonboom Cars cockpit, the highway space, and the maintenance room. While considering sustainable work calories, I thought about how to produce the best image in a timely manner.

"In the first episode, Mira joins the Boonboomger and the story begins with a three member team. How did you come up with the story?"

Tomioka: We were thinking of doing something that would be most pleasing for children, our main audience, in other words, the classic battle hobby for boys. Taiya and Ishiro, and even Bundorio were already a team, and were strong from the beginning. In my experience, this structure, where it's important to be strong from the beginning, and then add the newcomer Mira to further strengthen them, is something that children feel good getting into. When I heard Kuji-san's idea of each person being a car related professional, Shirakura Shinichiro-san, who happened to be present at the meeting, said, "It's like the Hissatsu series." Actually, I love the Hissatsu series, and Shirakura-san's words made me really excited, thinking, "I can do something that I've always wanted to do but haven't been able to do!" I hope I can portray adults that children will admire to become. The style that's often depicted in the Hissatsu series is that a newcomer (Mira) joins the professionals, and the pasts of the other members are slowly revealed. Then it naturally becomes a story about the bonds of the team. The story line of Boonboomger is moving in an increasingly interesting direction as we incorporate ideas from other Scriptwriters one after another.

"Looking back at the Super Sentai series over the past few years, Ohsama Sentai King-Ohger, Avataro Sentai Donbrothers and Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger have been written almost exclusively by a single Scriptwriter. Tomioka-san, you're working with multiple Scriptwriters to create Boonboomger, what's your goal?"

Tomioka: I believe that by incorporating ideas that come from other people, not just myself, the characters will be able to develop. I'd love to write all the episodes by myself, but I think it's more appropriate if this production is written by a team of multiple people. Besides, it'd be boring to keep the heroes I've always wanted to myself. The style I like is to call my friends and then we all go wild in this new world together. First, since I was approached for "Fuuto PI" by chance, I was sure that Higuchi Tatsuhito-kun, who was in charge of the composition for the Fuuto series would be invited. Additionally, I approached Yamaguchi Hiroshi-san, who worked with me on "K-tai Investigator 7," once the project had been decided to a certain extent. Yamaguchi-san also writes to the extreme at full power. When I came to the Toei Tokyo studio with Yamaguchi-san, he said, "You're always on the opposite side, right? (at Toei Animation)" (laughs). Also, we have a younger man named Morichi Natsumi-san participating. Higuchi-kun and I are inspired by each and every tokusatsu scene, and our members have a deep and reassuring love for the characters. I've also reached out to Konuta Kenji-san, a former Writer for "Uchusen," and I'm hoping to work with this team until the final episode. There's also the fact that each of us wants to write only for the characters we have a strong attachment to (laughs). Like the Sanseaters……

"We'd like to ask you about the enemy characters here, but the Sanseaters seem to have a formation that we've seen in a production that Tomioka-san has worked on…….?"

Tomioka: Team Rocket from "Pokemon," right? (laughs). This time, due to various restrictions, the enemy doesn't have a hideout, so I wondered what kind of enemy I should make…..When I thought about it, I suddenly remembered the Greeed from "Kamen Rider OOO" and Heart and the others from "Kamen Rider Drive." Every time they're in some unknown place, they're talking to each other. When I thought about if I could get any inspiration from that……I came up with Team Rocket. I thought, "Villains who sleep outdoors!" (laughs).

Kuji: It was Tomioka-san's idea. There was no reason to hit the brakes anymore. We all stepped on the gas during the meeting.

Tomioka: To begin with, Yamaguchi-san and I grew up watching "Himitsu Sentai Gorenger," so when we think of Sentai enemies, we got the impression that they're monsters who are abit stupid and do interesting things.

"Listening to his story, we can see that Tomioka-san, who is an authority in children's productions, is putting into full use what he's cultivated. However, you haven't worked on a tokusatsu show since K-tai Investigator 7, and this is your first time working on a Toei tokusatsu production. Did you feel at a loss in that respect?"

Tomioka: In "K-tai," the enemy wasn't monsters. The main focus was on fighting hackers, and the only thing "tokusatsu" was the cell phones (Phone Braver) moving. In contrast, in the Super Sentai series, there are monsters, they become giant, the heroes announce themselves, they transform, and…..alot of other things. I thought I knew what I was getting into, but when it came time to actually write the script, it was difficult.

"There's something you have to do each time."

Tomioka: That's right. On top of that, in order to create something interesting, we received a variety of ideas from tokusatsu Director Butsuda Hiroshi for the giant battles, as well as feedback on what to do with the regular sized battles from Directors with past experience. The interesting part is the drama part, where the Directors don't often express their opinions. Therefore, when thinking about the drama part, I prioritized what Kuji-san wanted to create. I think this is the biggest difference from anime.

"Do you mean that you put the Producer's opinion first?"

Tomioka: In my experience, it's rare for a Producer to lead a production by himself, because in the case of anime, the opinion of the author is important if it's an original story, and the opinion of the Director or series creator is important if it is an original production. However, when Toei's tokusatsu shows are first announced, fans are always wondering who the Chief Producer is, aren't they? It's refreshing to know that fans are also paying attention to who will lead the production.

Kuji: That's what Tomioka-san says, but from my point of view, I'm being too dependent on him. Normally, the Chief Producer of Toei tokusatsu productions usually leads the discussion in meetings, but Tomioka-san took my opinions into consideration and organized the discussion by saying, "This is what you want to do, isn't it?" By incorporating the opinions of other Writers, he makes it even more interesting by saying, "This one's more explosive!" I think this is reflected in the footage in a good way. Maybe this is a style that hasn't been used in the past 47 series.

Tomioka: Come to think of it, in anime, a series composition chart is created to show what happens from the first episode to the final episode, but it seems that they don't usually prepare one for the Super Sentai series.

Kuji: Even though we have a rough idea of what we want to do, it has a strong "live" feel, so there's a possibility that we'll have to adjust the story halfway through.

Tomioka: I couldn't help but be anxious about that……So, before writing episodes 3 and 4, I told Kuji-san, "I want to decide how the story will develop until the end." Of course, taking into consideration the scheduled release of items and Robos, I made a series composition chart, and decided to some extent how many episodes with Taiya would be depicted in the series. But basically, we hope that everyone will enjoy each week's explosive episodes. And then, I'd be very happy if you thought, "That was fun! Let's play with toys too!"

"Boonboomger is finally airing, and it's going to be a year of excitement. We'd like to ask you about some key points of interest that readers who are looking forward to Boonboomger can enjoy even more."

Kuji: Boonboomger is a show that'll cheer you up when you watch it. The staff has put together what they think is "cool," so whether you're an adult or child, there's sure to be a key point in each episode that'll stick with you. We're working diligently on this production, hoping that it'll be a show that'll allow people to absorb the exciting energy on Sunday mornings and look forward to the following week. We'll continue to rev our engines so that we can provide excitement to everyone of all ages and genders!

Tomioka: I see this production as a story of friendship between Taiya and the alien Bundorio, and a growth story depicting the relationship between the Boonboomgers. In addition, as a toy lover, I'm excited to write about how much I can make the Boonboom Changer and Gattai Robos more appealing. Of course, we'll do our best to bring out the charm of the untransformed actors and make this a production that'll make children want to play as Boonboomgers. Now that they've finally started running, where will they go from here? I'd be happy if you look forward to watching them all year long!

author’s note: hahaha love this request, lol. thank you and sorry for waiting so long!

It was a phenomenal night surrounded by amazing and loud people, chilled champagne, delicious three-tiered fruit cake, hot dishes and cold appetizers, good alcohol, great music and dancing until the morning. Your cousin was getting married that day and had a huge wedding full of attractions, games and food. Of course, you showed up at the party with your longtime boyfriend – Natsuya. You spoke to many people that evening; younger and older cousins, uncles and aunts, strangers, as well as the bride and groom themselves, who looked beautiful that day – your cousin in a perfectly tailored suit and his wife in a long white dress and light lace on the shoulders. It was so amazing!

Of course, you danced most of the evening with your boyfriend, your closed family and the bride and groom. There was a lot of singing, jokes, toasts and compliments. It was an perfect evening full of joy and love.

“... Psst, psssst, Y/N.” You heard a whisper to your right and looked at your female cousin. Miu was two years younger than you, and by the way very talented in art and music. Your similar age meant that you talked a lot together and often (if money and time allowed) you met together to talk about school, studies, work or health. “Look, I don’t want to say anything, but you’re our cousin’s age. When’s your turn?” She asked laughing and you only blushed red in the cheeks. You looked out of the corner of your eye at your boyfriend, who was having a great time at the sweet table and drinking whiskey with his peers and your uncles, and then you glanced again at the fair-haired girl.

“It’s a... It’s a contentious issue. I won’t pressure him...” You started calmly. “Although I would love to be on the, uh, next stage of a relationship, if I may call it that.”

“Haha, good to know. I have a plan to speed it up.” She said then quickly got up from her seat and winked at you. “Now I’m going to dance.”

“What plan?”

“See you later, Y/N!”

“What plan, brat?!”

{ ･ﾟ✧ }

At some point, it was midnight, the time of unveiling and capping ceremony and having fun. After several hours of dancing and singing, everyone could breathe a sigh of relief while the young couple thanked their parents and guests; the bride and groom gave flowers to their relatives and hugged the witnesses of this wonderful event. Then, together with the DJ who supervised the course of the evening, they invited all the girls to the center of the room so that one of them could catch a bouquet full of lilies of the valley and white roses.

“The rules are simple: during the song you walk around our gorgeous bride, then when the music stops you stop and wait for Yumeko to throw the bouquet to one of you. The one who catches it becomes the new bride!”

You knew with your bad luck you’d never catch the bouquet, so you just had fun to the beat of the loud song. Miu walked ahead of you and one of your aunts was behind you. The bride was having fun in the center of the circle with the photographer and cameraman walking around her. Suddenly the music died down, so all the women in the circle stopped.

You didn’t even register the moment when the bouquet was in your arms, and you, with a shock written on your face, looked around to find your boyfriend. When you found him, he just laughed shyly.

“Kirishima-kun, this time you can’t wait any longer, we’re all waiting for you!” Yumeko said into the microphone and you reddened all over your face again.

“... You’re welcome, my pretty dear cousin.” Miu smiled to herself and you shook your head.
