「Not-so Secret Admirer」

(🌟🍬) Living in a Fantasy

Rui finally got out of a detention room along with Mizuki. It was pretty fast since the purple haired convinced the teacher to let them out. Let's say more like he blackmailed.

"Actually, Mizuki worked part time at the clothes shop so if you don't let us out soon, they're gonna be late. I have practice and here's the show ticket. See you there!"

Well, all they did was to snuck up. The teacher hasn't even answered yet.

"Oh? Tsukasa-kun and Nene aaand, Emu-kun?"

The five of them ran away instantly before each of them getting caught. Mizuki waved the troupe goodbye so they could focus on their part time job. The rest of them went to the rehearsals. Actually they're just 7 minutes late because of that certain purple haired over there.

"One time, the princess is weeping because she is waiting for her dear knight."

Rui narrated, following Emu and Tsukasa act the lines they were given.

"Waa! My dear knight, where are you? Will you come here to save me? Hey! Hello?"

With these lines, Emu portrayed the character perfectly. Her voice acting skills are exquisite, well opposing to her natural voice.

"Ms. Cendrillon, I'll be serving you breakfast"

Nene, portraying as the maid, handing "Merry Cendrillon" pancakes with berries.

"Wow! I am so impressed you could make this!"

"Anything for you, your highness."

Meanwhile, Rui and Tsukasa are preparing for the stunt, where Romeo will save Merry from the abyssal castle. First, he has to run through the forest while escaping the guard robots, then climbing the trees until he reaches to the window. He had redone the stunt and it was better than before, now he is lending the princess's hand.

"Now, is my princess waiting for me?"

"Romeo! I've been waiting for you!"

Emu's acting resonating herself, as if she was the princess and Tsukasa is her knight. She jumped from the window, leaving the food unfinished and finding herself around "Romeo's" arms.

"Your highness?"

Leaving the maid alone in the room, both Romeo and Merry jumped and rode a horse nearby. Emu saw her beloved in adoration, living in a fantasy. She used up all her feelings to acting as usual but this time she applied how she feel about Tsukasa to how Merry saw Romeo in adoration when he saved her.

"Ahaha! Thank you for saving me, Romeo"

"I swore to protect you, even if the world is against you"

The scene has happily ended. Everything went well. For about tomorrow Thursday, they will rehearse the theme song. They realize they went overtime and the two childhood friends walked together home, leaving the pinkette and the blonde standing at the gate for a minute.

"Tsukasa-kun!"

"Hmm?"

The blonde looked at her in a puzzled face, resulting into making her eyes shine even more.

"I'm having so much fun! To think acting is quite easier when you put all your feelings to it! Thank you, I really appreciate how you helped me like I did!"

Emu teared up in joy, while the blonde wiped her tears.

"Emu, you taught me that feelings are important of how you convey your acting. Want me to walk you home?"

"Sure! My family won't mind!"

They walked together until Tsukasa offered to buy her taiyaki.

"Hey? Can I do something in return, Tsukasa-kun?"

"No need! Now let me walk you home while you enjoy your snack!"

"Yay! Thank you so much!"

They continue walking. Emu should've rode her car service but she decided to walk home once again for a change of pace.

"Tsukasa-kun! My house is on the way! Thanks again!"

Emu hugged him and waved him goodbye, but she was hugged back.

"Stay safe, okay?"

"Okaaay! I'M HOOOOOME!"

Her loud voice reaches through the house even if it's far away.

"I guess I'm going home too."

Tsukasa formed a small smile and walked away from the house. He realized he has improved oh-so much! He's being determined to do his best even when he's at his limits. He thanks her and the other members for helping him to the top. Just like the others, he can't wait to perform a show at Friday. Atleast he won't have to go school before that.

Meanwhile at Otori Mansion, Emu's older sister, Hinata welcomed her while the others are still at work.

"Ah, welcome back! You must been so close with Tenma-kun, huh? That's great!"

"Yep! He offered to walk me home once again!"

"That's very nice of him. He's a good example of a man treating his friends better"

"Yep! That's why I love him so much!"

Hinata is correct. She knew about Emu's first love and looking forward to her happiness. Emu's brothers supported her love for Tsukasa but somehow they're strict when it comes to love. Her father? As long his youngest daughter is happy, that's all he cares.

Minutes after dinner and bath, Emu changed into pajamas and reminiscing all the good times they spent.

"Tsukasa-kun! I'm glad I met you!"

Taking a photocard of her with Wonderlands x Showtime, she kissed a picture of Tsukasa Tenma.

"He's so cute! I'm so happy! He reminds me of my grandfather! He's definitely my type! I like him- NO I LOVE HIM! Someday we'll be the best together, along with the others of course!"

Back to Tenma's Household, Tsukasa went home safely. Surrounded by Saki's arms, knowing that her brother is safe and sound.

"Onii-chan! Two nights left and your show will start! I'm so happy! Emu-chan told me about your practice and you were so good!"

"I'm grateful, Saki. You supported me the most!"

"Let's gooo! Mom cooked Acqua Pazza for dinner!"

"REALLY? YES! I'M TAKING MY SHOES RIGHT NOW!"

"SLOW DOWN, YOU KNOW!"

Their mother chuckled, seeing these two getting along like usual.

"Teens are enjoying their youth is wonderful!"

And the family are happily eating dinner. What kind of fate awaits the only one, Tsukasa Tenma?
