Izuocha's Love Stories

44 - THE NEWLYWED GAME (CHAPTER ONE)

By Sashun08

CHAPTER ONE

This story is more of Japanese culture and tradition when it comes to dating, commitment, and marriage. I can't find a love story that has similar to this so i decided to write my own story. I added shoujo cliches, love symbolisms, and other common love Japanese phrases. 

I added SPOILER here because some parts of this story have been shown in MHA School Briefs and Manga Chapters 347-348.

Few days after Setsubon Festival, Yuuei's dorm system was firmly in place, the student's animated conversations and laughter filled the campus even on Sundays, and today was no exception. Students of Yuuei were busy in prepping for the impending festival. Bunkasai (Cultural Festival) happens every year in schools in Japan to showcase their talents and their artistic achievements. People including their family and friends who want to enter the school themselves or who are interested in the school may come to see what the schoolwork and atmosphere are like. 

In a large quadrangle, the class A's dance squad : Mina, Ochako, Tsuyuu and Toru were in the middle of practice while Eijiro, Minoru, Sero, Sato, Shoji, and Koda sat off to the side, apparently taking a breather. Mineta complains his harem scene was too short and the dance shouldn't be long so that he could be able to watch Yuuei's beauty pageant. He glanced at Asui and Hagakure while they practice their dance moves. Mineta lunged at Asui in the hope of giving his perverted demonstration, but Asui caught him using her tongue and slammed  him to the ground.

Inside the classroom of  1-A , Katsuki, Jiro, Denki, Tokoyami, and Momo were on break. Momo handed them her favorite drinking tea and Fruit Daifuku. Katsuki didn't like Daifuku so Momo gave him wasabi daifuku. After munching his daifuku, he drained his cup dry in seconds, without a hint of sentimental reflection.

"I should have expected you'd have a distinguishing palate, Bakugo," Momo noticed as she munched her Ichigo Daifuku. 

"It so happens that I'm a bit thirsty, ponytail," Bakugo said while munching his last daifuku. 

"Well, today is a second flush Darjeeling, while yesterday I brought the first flush".

"First? Second? What's the difference, Yaoyoruzo?" asked Jiro.

"First flush refers to tea leaves picked during spring, while second means the harvesters waited until summer," said Momo as she passed Jiro a cup of tea poured from another thermos. The latter looked confused about why she was the only one getting a different drink, so the former clarified with a smile.

"Yours is milk tea, which should help protect your throat and singing voice. Some milk teas are added with little sugar but for you, your tea has no sugar in it. You mentioned some discomfort yesterday, right?" Momo explained as Jiro smells the aroma of her tea.

"Oh, arigatou gozaimasu...Yeah, Jouzo! (This is good!)" Jiro smiled

"Yokatta! Annshin shita (I'm glad! I'm relieved)" she said as she finally sat down to enjoy her own cup of tea.

Class 1-A live performance will be held at the gymnasium where it can accommodate more than Three hundred guests, including their parents and friends. At the backstage, another class 1-A group: Aoyama, Ojiro, Todoroki, Tenya, and Midoriya, were also on their break. They sat on the floor and eat their fruit daifuku (came from Yaoyoruzo), Pocky (chocolate sticks), and cheese (I'm sure it came from Aoyama) while playing the so-called "Newlywed Game".
