A Moment Sweeter Than Chocolate: Epilogue

featuring top student someya yujiro at his finest

previous part (chapter 7)

The day after the Valentine’s Day live—

Yujiro and Aizo went to their lesson studio like they usually did.

Aizo: Have you considered just staying home on the day after a live?

Yujiro: Speak for yourself, Aizo. You sure do have tons of free time, no?

Aizo: Don’t lump me in with you. I just wanna work on my choreography for the next live festival.

Yujiro: Same goes for me.

Hiyori: Ah, you guys are actually here.

Hiyori: Geez, y’all should just rest on the day after a live, yannow?

Yujiro: Aizo doesn’t have anything to do aside from work, you know? He doesn’t have a girlfriend either.

Aizo: Same goes for you!

Hiyori: I can’t believe these are the same guys who made the audience squeal at yesterday’s live… Well, whatever.

Hiyori: On another note, hey Someya, your interview for the fashion magazine seems to be rather popular.

Yujiro: Is that so?

Hiyori: Yup. Even people who have never heard of LIPxLIP are buzzing about it.

Hiyori: They’re saying stuff like “Who’s that cool-looking boy on the cover of that magazine?!”, yannow?

Hiyori: That magazine issue is selling really well too.

Hiyori: That fashion magazine seems to have been experiencing poor sales lately, so I heard that the editor-in-chief had said something like “I have nothing but gratitude for Yujiro”.

Yujiro: (I see… I’m glad that it has brought happiness to others.)

Hiyori: Good for you, Someya.

Yujiro: Of course it went well. I was on the cover page, after all.

Aizo: I read that issue of the fashion magazine too.

Yujiro: Eh?

Aizo: What’s with that “Eh?”?

Yujiro: No, it’s nothing…

Yujiro: (It had nothing to do with Aizo. It was a solo job for me. And yet he read it…)

Hiyori: What did you think about it?

Aizo: Well, considering the terrible answers he had written on the questionnaire at the start, I think that he had given a great interview.

Aizo: Especially that part about the couple he had met at the crepe cart.

Aizo: That was pretty good. Did you make all of that up?

Yujiro: No, it really happened.

Aizo: That so?

Yujiro: Yeah. Speaking of that, the boyfriend of the couple…

Yujiro: Now that I think about it, he seemed a little similar to you, Aizo.

Hiyori: He was similar to Shibasaki?

Aizo: What kind of guy was he?

Yujiro: Hmm…

Yujiro: He seemed like a frivolous flirt, and he gave the impression that everything he said was completely fake.

Aizo: That sounds like… he’s absolutely nothing like me, though.

Yujiro: You think so?

Aizo: Of course I do! Rather, I should be asking you what made you think he was similar to me in the first place!

Yujiro: Hmm, the vibes you give off, for one.

Aizo: I don’t give off the vibes of a “frivolous flirt” though…!

Yujiro: (But they really are similar.)

Yujiro: (Come to think of it, didn’t his girlfriend call him “Shibasaki”...?)

Yujiro: (Well, that’s probably just a coincidence.)

Yujiro had no idea who the two of them even were, and he figured that he would never meet them again. Thinking along those lines, he forgot all about that couple fairly soon after.
