This will be posted on time in Japan time, I believe. *giggles*

Oh as in publish date, this will NEVER be posted on time considering Blogger- Welcome back to the second half of the fanfic season (haha) because in case you have missed the (almost) week-long special that started a week ago and featured nothing but my love for them ladies, feel free to go back and read them all. I'll wait. *smiles*

To start this half of the season which will conclude end March, and since I haven't thought of what to send Marinka-chan for her birthday tomorr today (lol) even though she shared her Amazon wishlist to the fanclub and THEN said to send her through usual means ie. mail or send a package to the talent company at their address (don't even try gifting her from Amazon as they will reject them ALL) because I will never anyways, but I am sinking in bliss just being part of your fanclub (and her liking my not-so-offensive replies haha yup) in which she sent a birthday voicemail telling me to be together... So YEAH I probably will considering you're not so sad now thanks to AI which isn't me- I'm not going to think to deep into that. *cringe*

I WILL though, think deeper into how our times as cousins all started so that I can justify using one of these 4 plot cards lol assuming polygamy of my parents and stepparents lol TMI, and it started with...!!




Kouno Marika in a school uniform squatting by a wooden pole by the beach, squnting her eyes with a smile
I got a call from my cousin Kouno Marika how much she wanted to hang out with me, living across the city. Since exams were over, she wondered if she could skip school to come find me, even saying to do it the next day.

The next morning, she messaged me that she ran to the beach near my high school, as I stared towards the glaring sun. Texting and calling her did not help, and I did not want to alert her parents.Β I excused myself of club activity that afternoon, dashed to the beach where we usually meet, and found Kouno-san squatting by an electric post.

I looked around for her schoolbag. She stared at me in her school uniform and smiled.

"I lost it!"

My jaw dropped as I saw her empty-handed, not even with her hand phone. I relented on how she can be so calm, and decided to help her look near the river where she last left it. We searched till sunset, which led us to a police box where it had to be left to dry.

Kouno-san said she had a lot of fun, and we hung out all summer long.




I... I didn't really mean to make her a dumb idiot (lmao) but hey, I think I would love a clumsy girl Marinka-chan wholeheartedly and embrace her everything even if she ends up depressed and weird. *dabs* As a cousin, please, I got the girlfriend. *laughs* I also wouldn't let anyone else do that to themselves blindly searching for a schoolbag, and I mean it in the nicest way possible. *giggles*

Image was from her very first (and last) (physical) photobook from like, 2018 (OH I AM OLD lol) which was also why I needed a proper refresh and not the digital photobook which is filling up my phone wallpapers for the week. *giggles* (Which also reminds me I gotta change it for the night LMAO) (Okay I'm back haha) In terms of lore though, I did consider whether she knows of Ten-chan or vice versa considering if it's a cheeky girl like her, she might even go as far as drop by my school to be seen by Ten-chan, but she did also reject me and I also didn't specify when this happened (yet) so let's just say they don't know each other.

Though I would argue my cousin helping me confess (again) to the girl I like in my school but eventually decided to be with me forever, sounds like a GREAT plot to a new light novel series. You're welcome for the nth dumb idea for high school romance. *laughs*

P.S. ON TIME because this post is scheduled. *dabs* Please go read all the thin book reviews which is finally done this week hopefully more than 90%, fingers crossed. *smiles*
