Miu's FTEs 4 and 5

>You're worried about Iruma, who said that she's a cyborg, so you tried talking to her again...

>(Iruma Miu)
...........

>She seems less energetic than usual. Maybe she's thinking about something.

>(Saihara Shuichi)
Um, Iruma?

>(Iruma Miu)
W-what do you want? D-don't talk to me!

>(Saihara Shuichi)
But... I'm worried about you.

>(Iruma Miu)
W-w-w-worried?! You're worried about me?!

>... Did her voice just crack?

>(Iruma Miu)
I-I-I'm just fine.
I'm not nearly bummed enough for you to be worryin' about me!

>(Saihara Shuichi)
But, y'know... You said that you were a cyborg.

>(Iruma Miu)
W-who cares about that?! Whether I'm human or not, well, that's none of your business.

>(Saihara Shuichi)
Yeah, of course. You're you, that's all there is to it.

>(Iruma Miu)
W-what? How can you say such a thing?

>(Saihara Shuichi)
Iruma? Your face is bright red. Are you okay?

>(Iruma Miu)
H-huh?! N-n-n-no it's not!! I'm hot, okay?! It's friggin' hot as hell in here!
Guess we've gotta strip, huh? That's right! It's stripping time!!

>(Saihara Shuichi)
W-?! Hey, wait!

>(Iruma Miu)
Check it out! My Venus-like body will be unveiled!!

>(Saihara Shuichi)
Cut it out!

>(Iruma Miu)
Th-then... you do it. You strip.

>(Saihara Shuichi)
What for!?

>(Iruma Miu)
If you won't strip, then beat off! Just beat off to my perfect proportions!!

>(Saihara Shuichi)
What in the hell are you talking about?! Just forget about stripping, okay?!

>(Iruma Miu)
*Mumble mumble* *sniffle*

>(Saihara Shuichi)
...Iruma, what's wrong?

>Are you sick?
>You should get to bed and take it easy.
>Are you worried about something?

>(Saihara Shuichi)
Are you sick? You're acting strange... Maybe you have a fever.

>(Iruma Miu)
F-fever?! N-no way! Fever my ass! Uh-uh!

>(Saihara Shuichi)
But your face is all red.

>(Iruma Miu)
W-what are you gettin' at? A-a-are you trying to say I'm lovesick or something?!

>(Saihara Shuichi)
...Huh?

>(Iruma Miu)
Aahhh! U-uh, w-w-what I meant was... Aahh!

>(Saihara Shuichi)
Love, huh... That's what was on your mind.

>(Iruma Miu)
Y-y-yeah! I-I'm in love with you!

>(Saihara Shuichi)
What?! M-me?

>(Iruma Miu)
You said it first, remember? You're worried about me so much... and you love me.

>(Saihara Shuichi)
...I didn't say that last bit.

>(Iruma Miu)
...Huh? You didn't?

>(Saihara Shuichi)
Nope, I didn't...

>(Iruma Miu)
Ah, ah... Oh no!!

>And with a face as red as ever, Iruma ran off...
>So, I guess you could say... Iruma confessed her love to me...?
>I couldn't chase after her, so I just returned to my room in a daze.
>How should I act around her now?

-

>After Iruma confessed her love to me... I had no idea how to act around her anymore.

>(Iruma Miu)
Hahaha! Yo, U-shuichi-less! Lookin' as dull as ever!

>...Guess she's talking to me.

>(Iruma Miu)
Got a present for you, U-shuichi-less!

>(Saihara Shuichi)
Oh, no... Another weird invention of yours?

>(Iruma Miu)
Hahaha! I feel ya.
But I'll show you what the genius Iruma Miu can really do!! Here!

>(Saihara Shuichi)
Is this... a pie?

>(Iruma Miu)
You bet your ass it is! An apple pie, at that! Made it myself!

>Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined that Iruma baked.
>Plus, it looks good enough to be sold in a store. Iruma's really talented at cooking.
>As I was admiring the pie, I noticed something.

>(Saihara Shuichi)
Um, Iruma? It looks like, uh... there's a hair in it...

>(Iruma Miu)
Hahaha! Don't worry about it! It's just the secret ingredient!

>(Saihara Shuichi)
Of course, I'm gonna worry about it!
There's something seriously wrong with hair in food!!

>(Iruma Miu)
Oohh...
B-but... I want the person I love to eat a little piece of me...
I-I made other things, too... some cookies with my fingernails in them... chocolate with my blood...

>...So Iruma really does love me.
>B-but, the way she's trying to show it... it's BEYOND heavy!!

>(Iruma Miu)
...............

>Oh, no... She wants me to eat it. I can see it in her eyes!

>(Saihara Shuichi)
U-um, well... I'm glad you feel that way about me... But we've gotta maintain some standards of hygiene when it comes to food, right?
This isn't a hospital, and you never know what could happen... Gotta think of the consequences.

>(Iruma Miu)
.................
Ha-ha! You've got balls to lecture me like that!
Even though it's the work of the genius Iruma Miu, I guess we do hafta be careful.
Besides, if something were to happen to you... I... I don't know what I'd do...
I-if that DID happen, it'd be the end of the world! Yeah! Isn't that right?

>(Saihara Shuichi)
Y-yeah...

>(Iruma Miu)
Oh, well! Then, I'll give you something else!

>(Saihara Shuichi)
...Huh?

>(Iruma Miu)
Ha-ha! The time has come to use THIS!

>Iruma took out a laser gun-looking thing. I felt like I'd seen it before...

>(Iruma Miu)
Begin operation "He Ain't Wearing 'Em!"

>The light of the laser gun hit Iruma...

>(Saihara Shuichi)
Wha-?!

>Suddenly, a piece of cloth appeared in my hand!
>That invention must be the underwear... Wait, so that means...!

>(Iruma Miu)
How about it, Saihara? Can you feel my warmth?

>I guess it is a little warm, but...!

>(Iruma Miu)
Listen up! Those give you the right to go on a date with me!

>(Saihara Shuichi)
Whhaaa?!

>(Iruma Miu)
When we get outta here, you're gonna take me on a date! Got it? These decide it!

>(Saihara Shuichi)
It's already decided?

>(Iruma Miu)
Duh! If I go on a date with you, I'm gonna explode with excitement!
If you refuse, it'll REALLY be the end of the world! You got it?!
You're the only man in the world that's made me come!
You gotta take responsibility! Hahahahaha!

>(Saihara Shuichi)
.............


>I guess Iruma's trying to tell me her feelings... in her own way...

>(Saihara Shuichi)
Okay, I understand.

>(Iruma Miu)
Ha-ha! It's settled! That's a promise! You'd better not forget!!

>(Saihara Shuichi)
Haha...

>Iruma looked so happy, smiling from ear to ear... All I could do was force a little grin...
>But I wonder... had she taken so much interest in me before?
>Having made these bonds with her, we became so close... and I'm glad for that.
>It has caused a little - okay, no, a lot of trouble, but I'm optimistic for where the future will take us.
>Everything will be fine. We're gonna get out of here and move forward!

>I spent a while after that hearing about Iruma's plans - where we would go on our date, all the details...
