Kusunoki Mebuki no Shou 6-3

Mebu's weakness - 3

[Gold Tower, cafeteria]

Suz: Do the two of you know of any weakspots or shortcomings Mebu could have?

Shi: Shortcomings?.. Ramen...

Suz: Not liking ramen is neither a weakspot nor a shortcoming!

Shi: Aww...

Suz: Oh, right. Ayaya, you clean Mebu's room up all the time, right?

Aya: Yeah, I do.

Suz: So, did you ever find anything weird in her room?

Suz: Like a really cute plushie or a girly and maidenly romance novel?

Suz: Heh heh heh... If Mebu had something like that...

[Suzume's imagination]

Meb: Haah, today's training was exhausting.

Meb: Pooh-chan, my little bear, were you alright~?

Meb: My time with you is the only comfort Mebu has~.

Meb: Alright, now I'll get back to reading this "Princely Love Romance" novel I bought yesterday~.

Suz: Fuhahaha! I finally have you now! Solid proof! Mebu, I didn't even imagine you were into girly things like those!

Meb: Suzume!?

Suz: If you don't want anyone to hear about this, reduce the time we spend on training!

Meb: I got it! I got it, so please keep this secret from everyone!..

Suz: This is how things would go!

Aya: Hmm... I can't say I saw any plushies or romance novels...

Suz: I see... But maybe there was something else strange?

Aya: Not particularly strange, but she has a lot of plastic and other models in her room.

Suz: That's! It!

Meb: No matter how many times I see it, it always stirs my heart... This 1/300 scale Takamatsu castle...

Meb: Huh!? Wait! Now that I take a better look, the shachihoko on the keep's roof is missing! [1]

Suz: Fuhahaha! I have the shachihoko from the keep! If you want it back, reduce the time we spend training!

Meb: Rrrrgh... I can't do anything if you take my models hostage...

Suz: It'll go like that, I'm sure!

Shi: Kagajou, it could also go another way...
