S3C Chapter 48: Don't Believe The Hype

Sorry if this chapter feels a bit short. The next chapter should be the Grand Festival chapter. Hope you enjoy!

(Y/N) POV

(Y/N) was smiling as he was lying on his stomach atop his bed. He held his phone in front of his face as the other person on the other side of the video call got ready.

Shiver: Okay, now, how do I look?

Shiver asked as she stood back in front of the phone camera she set up before doing a little spin so he could see all around the outfit she was wearing.

Her outfit had a professional jacket over a simple white shirt underneath. Along with them were a special Grand Festival card hanging around her neck and a Grand Festival armband on her left arm. To top it all off was a pair of thin, red glasses.

(Y/N): You look really great. Real professional. I'd say you even look like someone who might not tell me fake news.

Shiver: Perfection! Because I can't sprinkle any fake news in, this is important for the Grand Festival.

(Y/N): It's also rare that I get to see both of your eyes.

Shiver: Yes, yes, I keep both eyes reserved for only the most special of occasions that require my full focus. Or if there's something really valuable that catches my eye.

She says as she glares at him with a smirk through the video call.

(Y/N) let out a giggle before asking another question.

(Y/N): But what's with the glasses?

Shiver: Oh these?

Shiver asks as she grabs the glasses and flashes them a bit before putting the glasses back on her face.

Shiver: All three of us are wearing them. They make us look smarter.

(Y/N) shook his head with a pitiful smile.

(Y/N): Of course, that's the reason.

He really should've expected that from them by now, but the three idols of the Splatlands always surprised him regardless.

(Y/N): Any insider leaks you can give me?

Shiver: Depends on how well you behave yourself, doesn't it? What do I get out of letting a bit of info slip from my lips?

Shiver spoke like she was a cat playing with its food as she sat down on the edge of her bed and scooched closer to the camera.

(Y/N): What do you want?

He asked, sure that she would want something ridiculous she could extort from him.

Shiver: Now that you mention it~... I've been-

Shiver was cut off as her door flung open to reveal Frye, along with Big Man in the hall behind her.

Frye: -Shiver! What's taking so long? Let's go alreadyyyy!

Shiver blushed embarrassedly as she turned around to see the other two had barged in on her and (Y/N)'s call.

Frye: Wait, have you been video chatting with (Y/N) in here on your own?!

Shiver quickly turned back to her phone as she got closer to it.

Shiver: Gotta go! Talk to ya later!

Frye: Hey! Wai-!

Shiver ended the video call, cutting off Frye mid-sentence, leaving (Y/N) alone by himself on his bed, laughing at how Shiver's nefarious ideas were foiled by the others.
