I guess I don't mind.

Chapter 12: I guess I don't mind.

Mochizou and Tamako were lying on Mochizou's bed turned away from each other. Why? Because after dinner, Mochizou's mom had sent them both a recording of their mini makeout session.

"So..."

Tamako flinched at the sound of Mochizou's voice.

"S-so..."

"H-how about a goodnight kiss?"

"Huh?!"

Tamako flinched again, accientally hitting her head against the wall.

"Ah! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have... uh..."

Cue awkward silence. The 2 of them were turned away from each other still, but Tamako slowly turned to face Mochizou.

"M-Mochizou? Can you turn around?"

"Huh? Yeah, su-mmph!"

Tamako grabbed his wrists and pulled him in for another deep kiss, although her eyes were shut tight and her face was completely red.

"T-there's your goodnight kiss. S-see you tomorrow morning, Mochizou..."

"Mhm..."

They slowly drifted off to sleep, facing each other (of course).

"Tamako, you can put those down now!"

"Come on, Mochizou! As your girlfriend, I can't approve of this type of art."

"It's not that! Jeez, Konosuba is a pure comedy, and that's all there is to it! You've read the first volume already, so you should know that by now!"

"Fine then. Then can I rip out the... uh... lewd ones?"

Mochizou looked away upon seeing Tamako shielding her face with the light novel.

"Sure, do what you need to. I would sell those, but that's probably illegal."

After a while, they 2 of them went down and ate dinner, strangely without any talk of the previous day's events from anyone. After they finished, they'd changed and were discussing the day ahead of them in Mochizou's bedroom.

"Hey, Tamako? Are you ready to begin filming? I've told everyone that we'll be in the market, going around as we need."

"Mhm! Although I'm not sure why you want me to wear my uniform..."

"Ah, that's because... uh..."

Mochizou shuffled on the spot and looked away while turning slightly pink.

"I think it looks... er... iconic! Yeah, the schoolgirl asthetic is pretty popular, so it'll sell well."

"That's smart, Mochizou!"

"Y-you look good in it, by the way..."

"Hm? What was that, Mochizou?"

Tamako tilted her head to the right and stared at Mochizou with a confused expression, eliciting a sigh of relief from Mochizou.

"Nothing! Let's head to the market!"

"And this isn't some kink of yours? You've got Tamako, so don't try to rope us into your roleplay."

Midori had a small smirk on her face while Mochizou's face was tinted pink.

"It's not that! Again, it's appealing to a wider audience, and it's easier to paint a narrative this way."
