YuYuYui - Girl power date

Girl power test! A thrilling date - 1

[Kameya]

Fuu: Slurp~, slurp~, seconds please♪

SON: Slurp~, Hmm~m, delicious~♪

Aka: If you want a balanced diet, don't forget to eat one other complementary dish.

Kar: Anzu's salad udon is hitting the balance just right.

Anz: My health and skin condition tend to decline without dietary fiber.

Uta: Yes. Vegetables are a girl's allies! Anzu-san's high-grade girl power, nice.

Fuu: Mgh...!? Cough, cough!

Its: O-Onee-chan, what's wrong!? Aah~ jeez, you started choking... Are you okay?

Fuu: C-Come on. I'm the peak of girl power, right? One more meat bukkake♪

Kar: How is that girl power!?

Fuu: We were talking about nutrition. You gotta show you're eating proteins!

Yos: Inubouzaki Fuu-sama, I find your gluttony admirable.

Fuu: S-See, she agrees!

Kar: No... First of all, you already gulped down ten bowls, it's way too many calories to be considered girly nutrition.

Fuu: It's okay because udon is healthy! Wheat is a vegetable! Therefore, there are no calories!

Ren: Hmph, such refreshing absurdity. Employing the same logic, pizza is categorized as a vegetable.

Fuu: Hey, quiet. Everything entering my body is converted into girl power.

Fuu: In other words, I am the very soul of girl power! I am the Divine era's girliest of girls♪

Kar: Aah, we get it. Girl power is your favorite phrase, but it's getting pretty dull.

Fuu: Wha-...!? D-Dull...?

Aki: The dull part shocked her more than the girl power!?

Fuu: I have girl power!

Kar: Where!?

Fuu: W-Well! Eh~, uuh~... I'm overflowing with it, no? From everywhere.

Kar: It can't be proven if you're not giving us a concrete example. Out~.

Fuu: Gnnnn... A concrete example of my girl power~.

Son: Ah, by the way, I've heard of a new shopping mall that'll be opening soon~.

Anz: A rumor going around girls is saying to look forward to it because there's going to be plenty of cute stores♪

Kar: See. Even when the subject comes out of nowhere, a normal girl shows girl power naturally.

Fuu: I know about the mall too! Right!? Itsuki. We got the flyer, haven't we?

Its: Eh!? Ah... yes.

Sek: Wait... a flyer. That's not very girly...

Fuu: B-But there's going to be an opening sale, I have to be on the lookout for the cheap stuff!

Nat: Fuu, you have a good sense of finances. You have incredible housewife power...

Fuu: Housewife power!?

Chi: There's a huge gap between what she wants and what she actually has...

Kar: We have club members with true girl power, you should just face reality. Jeez...

Fuu: D-Damn you... If you want to provoke me, then I'll show you proof!

Fuu: I'll show you my girl power at the mall, so come shopping with me, Karin!

SON/Son: Oooooh! A date~♪

Kar: Ha? Eh? Eeeeeeeeeeh!?


Girl power test! A thrilling date - 2

[Inubouzaki house]

Fuu: Itsuki~, we're having steak tonight~♪

Its: Yaay♪ Ah, right... So that's why you chopped onions last night...

Fuu: Yes! If you let onion rest overnight, it gets sweeter and tastier...

Fuu: You can't get a good steak shape if the ingredients aren't cold~♪

Its: Your girl power truly shines when you make no compromise.

Fuu: I know, right? You're the only one who understands me~! On the other hand...

Fuu: She claims she's perfect, but she's always rude to the queen of girl power.

Its: P-Please, not that again. I'm hungry, let's eat.

Fuu: Ah, sorry. I'll make the sauce from gravy right away, please wait a moment.

Its: (I can't tell her but... That's what really makes her look like a housewife... Onee-chan.)

Its: Huh? What are you looking at?

Fuu: Hm~. The shopping mall's flyer.

Its: Eh, it's opening on Friday and you'll go with Karin-san on Sunday, right!? But it's Monday...

Fuu: If I don't go in advance to check the prices, I can't impress Karin enough to shut her up!

Its: Eh, the prices...? The sales?? I thought you were supposed to show your girl power...

Fuu: This mall has three udon restaurants, I have to plan out which one I'll choose.

Fuu: Since Karin doesn't eat, going to all of them in a day is impossible, and it's making everything more complicated... Aah~, jeez!

Its: I don't think that it's Karin-san who eats too little, but you who eats too much...

Its: And if you're going to prove your girl power with udon, you'll probably get laughed at again...

Fuu: Urgh... W-What are you saying, Itsuki? You know how much girl power I have, right?

Its: Eh, uuh... yes.

Fuu: All right! I'll prove it to you. I'm gonna wash your back gen~tly in the bath!

Its: Y-You don't have to do this!

Fuu: Really? Isn't it a pretty great idea to prove my girl power?

Its: If you truly think that, why not do it to Karin-san?

Fuu: Haaa!? A-A-Are you kidding me!?

Its: Yes, I am. Imagining you washing Karin-san's or Natsume-san's back is kinda... you know. Haa.

Fuu: Why are you sighing over your own imagination...? It's getting late, go take a bath.

Its: Ye~s.

[Itsuki's room]

Its: (Come to think of it, even though it's a date between onee-chan and Karin-san...)

Its: (It just seems to me like a lucky chance for Sonoko-sans. I don't see it involving girl power...)

Its: (I'm worried they could fight, but I'm sure they can keep their calm, they'll be fine.)

Fuu: Itsuki~, it'll get cold, so go to sleep in your comforter, okay?

Its: Ah, okay.

Fuu: Wear pants over your pajamas!

Its: I-I know! Onee-chan... You skipped being a girl's step and went straight to mother...

Fuu: Gfwoh!

Its: If you can't correct this, Karin-san will retort to everything you say!

Fuu: I-I'll think about it... But I'm worried about your stomach. ...Ah, do you want a belly-warmer?

Its: I don't~~! Seriously~~, Onee-chan~~!!


Girl power test! A thrilling date - 3

[Friday - Opening day]

[Shopping mall]

Kar: .........

High school girl 1: Waah, look! This brand's new colors are all together~♪(*1)

Kar: (E-Erosion...!?)

High school girl 2: This year's designs are so adventure~. But they're so cute I can't choose~.

Kar: (What do you mean the design is adventure!? Are these clothes for expeditions!?)

Kar: Aah~, I don't know! We're supposed to meet the day after tomorrow but I don't understand anything!

SON: Nibosshi~sa~n. Preparing your date aren't you~♪

Kar: Hyah!? S-Sonokos!? W-What are you doing here!?

Son: You're stealing our line~.

SON: I would understand Fuumin-senpai doing reconnaissance for her girl power test, but why are you~?

Kar: W-Well! Uuh... Yes! I was just passing by so I thought why not!

SON/Son: Liar!

SON: Admit that you're here in advance to prepare so that your date with Fuumin-senpai goes well~.

Kar: Haa!?

Son: Aah! The brave heart of a maiden going on her first date who absolutely wants to flirt, or a bleep girl heart!

Kar: What's a bleep girl!? Who said anything about that!? I-I'm busy, see you later!

Kar: Why are you following me!?

SON: Just collecting data, don't mind us~♪

Kar: I mind! Collecting data... Ha!? A-Are you... going to write a novel about me!?

Son: Two girls who against all odds managed to go on a date together. And the tsundere main character, scared of failing went to take a look in advance!

SON: "Maybe she wants something... Then... If I could give her a present..."

SON/Son: Like that♪

Kar: Stooooop!

SON/Son: It hurts~!

Kar: That's nothing compared to what you'll get if you write those lies! I'll report your stalking to Wakaba and you'll get a real scolding!

SON: Calm down, don't say that. Nibosshi, we won't cause you any trouble~?

Son: By listening to our lecture about the mall, you'll be able to guide Fuumin-senpai around with your eyes closed~♪

Kar: Eh...

Son: Don't you think it's a good deal, you'll come with us to prepare for everything you'll need to know on your date~?

SON: Exactly. You wouldn't want this exceptional opportunity to go on a date to become a painful memory~?

Kar: Painful memory!? Urgh... Guh... O-Okay. If you're insisting, I'll take the lecture...

SON/Son: Did it♪

Kar: At one condition! Don't talk about me and Fuu to anyone. If you can't keep your mouth shut, everything we just said is canceled!

Son: Eh~...

SON: Hm~m. It's a shame, but what can you do. I also want you two to enjoy your date, I accept your conditions.

Kar: We have an agreement. Ah, also, stop calling it a date. It's not a date.

SON/Son: Eh~? But it's a date~?

Kar: It's not a date! It's a girl power test! Fuu and I will only walk around the mall, that's all!

SON/Son: Or as people call it, a date~♪

Kar: No they don't because it's not!

Note 1: Shishoku, a fashion term for new colors, same pronunciation as erosion.


Girl power test! A thrilling date - 4

[Day of the girl power test]

[Shopping mall]

Kar: ...Kuh. I was so nervous I ended up getting here an hour early...

Kar: But it's okay... I went through the Sonokos' lecture, there's no way I could possibly fail... Haa!?

Fuu: Ka-Karin... W-Why are you here!? It's one hour too early.

Kar: W-What about you then!?

Fuu: W-Why are you asking... I thought you'd say I lacked girl power if I arrived late...

SON: Kwaah... I know. This is the impatience born from the happiness and embarrassment of their first date!

Son: Sonoko-senpai, are they really on their first date~?

SON: They hung out together before, but this is the first time they both acknowledge it as a date~♪

Son: Ah~! So the novelty is making them nervous~. Memo memo~♪

Kar: W-Well... To avoid wasting our time, let's get going.

Fuu: O-Okay. Uuh... So? Where should we start things off?

Kar: It's not a test if you're not the one making the suggestions!

Fuu: R-Right! Then uuh... Let's go get udon first.

Kar: We're eating already!? What's girly about that!?

Fuu: I don't want you to get anemia because you're hungry, call it girl power consideration!

Kar: Eh, I-... I see... Then that works... I guess. Even though I'm not happy about it.

[Udon restaurant]

Fuu: Rather than its chewiness, this udon place favors a nice feeling when going down your throat.

Fuu: They're the same people who make the dried sardines dashi you eat all the time, I'm sure you'll like it!

Kar: Eeh? I'll try it out. Slurp...!? You were right... It tastes like my dried sardines!

Fuu: Slurp slurp~slurp slurp~♪ The mall has AC, so this is perfect thanks to the "Dosankan rokujou gohai".

Kar: Eh, dosa... What?

Fuu: Dosankan rokujou gohai. It's a word used to refer to the changes made to the sugar quantity and water temperature to match the ambient temperature and humidity.

Fuu: Mfufu. What do you think? I'm casually showing off my intelligence during our date. If that's not girl power, I don't know what it is.

Kar: No, this is just the usual udon power. So? Where are we going next?

Fuu: That goes without saying! Girl power and beauty go hand in hand! And if we're talking about beauty, it means the cosmetics shop!

[Food aisle]

Fuu: U~uh... That's weird, we're in the food aisle. Where's the cosmetic store?

Kar: This way. Follow this aisle all the way, then it's next to the two shoes shops.

Fuu: Eh, how do you know?

Kar: Eh!? I-Intuition! My perfectly perceptive intuition!

Girl: Uuh... Auuh~... W-What do I do?

Fuu: Oh, what's wrong? Are you lost?

Girl: No... I have to bring sauce for yakiniku, but I don't know where it is.

Kar: I see. Then you should ask a store clerk. Uuh... Where's one...

Fuu: If you're looking for yakiniku sauce, you'll find it on the soy sauce shelf, 2 rows over, where they sell meat.

Girl: Thank you!

Kar: H-How did you know? Did you come here in advance!?

Fuu: Hmph. Call it my girl power intuition trained over years of buying at supermarkets and department stores!

Kar: No, that's housewife intuition! But... the adaptability you've shown is... amazing.

Fuu: Eh.

Kar: B-But I haven't seen a shred of girl power yet, so the test is far from over!


Girl power test! A thrilling date - 5

[Cosmetics store]

Son: Now the highlight is in sight~. The time where our advice comes into play!

SON: Even from afar, it is visible, our specialized teachings will activate Karin-senpai's girl power~♪

Fuu: A girl is cuter with red cheeks, that's why blush is a must~.

Kar: Wait, who are you trying to appeal to with a red this bright, monkeys!?

Fuu: What!?

Kar: Your skin is surprisingly white, the color is already nice as is, you don't need more than light blush.

Fuu: Eh, you think so? Eeh~.

Kar: (Good... I'm using what the Sonokos taught me. I don't use makeup normally, I couldn't have followed up on the discussion without the help.)

Fuu: Karin, have you been putting on makeup in secret and I never noticed...?

Kar: I-I don't! That's just the result of prior research I did... Wait, No!

Fuu: Hm? You researched makeup? You're precocious if you're already doing research for when you'll become an adult.

Kar: No... That's not... W-Well, it's too early for you to be wearing makeup, let's go somewhere else!

Fuu: All right, it's finally time to show you the full scope of my girl power! Pay close attention to the way I pick clothes!

[Clothing store]

Kar: Out of all the clothes stores they have here, why this one?

Fuu: Glad you asked. This is an outlet store, meaning that you can buy even high brands at an affordable cost♪

Kar: You picked it for the prices!?

Fuu: Fashion that won't dig a hole in your budget. This is the ultimate girl power!

Kar: This is another case of housewife power or mother... Hey! Are you listening!?

Fuu: Oh~, this is the trendy color this year. This one is nice too. Hm hm hm...

Kar: (So... what was the trick to clothes selection, again? I think... A color you like, then one accent color...)

Fuu: Karin, wanna try this on? I'll be over here with mine.

Kar: Ha? I'm gonna wear this!? This is too girly! And your earth tones are too unremarkable!

Fuu: Hm. Talking about girliness and earth colors... You sure know a lot about fashion terminology... Haaa, then...

Kar: W-What...!?

Fuu: You fiend, you asked for advice from our fashion leader, didn't you? That's low, Karin!

Kar: I didn't get any advice! (...from Sekka.) Anyway, aren't you suppressing your real tastes?

Fuu: Eh?

Kar: You've had your eyes on different clothes since we set foot into this store, are you sure the ones you picked up are what you want?

Kar: I see you're trying to build up your girl power appeal, but if you buy clothes you don't really like, you'll regret it later.

Kar: You're just trying them, while you're at it, why not try the ones you like too? Here.

Fuu: Eh, no... I was looking at them, you're right, but not because I wanted to wear them...

Kar: What? You're not making yourself clear. Talk about girl power.

Fuu: What did you just say!? If that's what you want, I'll try wearing these. But you'll do it with me in exchange!

Kar: Wha-... Fine by me. I accept!

Son: Why...? This isn't the date I was imagining~. Where did the girl power go~?

SON: Believe, Sonocchi. Believe in Fuumin-senpai and Nibosshi's potential until the end~.

Fuu/Kar: I put it on! The match is on!

Fuu/Kar: Huh...!?

Kar: Ah... Uh. H-How do I say this... It's... an unusual... outfit... right...

Fuu: Y-... Yours... too... It's kinda... different... from the usual...

Kar: W-What...? If you have something to say, just say it...

Fuu: D-Don't mumble... It's just... more... something...

Store clerk: Oh my! You two go so well together. Seeing sisters matching is lovely♪

Fuu/Kar: S-Sisters!?

Fuu: T-That aside, it's true you're... rather... c-cute... Karin.

Kar: Urgh... You also look different in this... you're girly and c-cute... I think.

Fuu/Kar: Uuuuuuh~~!


Girl power test! A thrilling date - 6

[Park in the evening]

Fuu: Here... Tea.

Kar: T-Thank you... Fwah~. I didn't notice the clothes that caught your attention were actually for Itsuki...

Fuu: It was clearly adorable... I couldn't wear something like that...

Kar: Maybe you'd be right normally but today... You gave off such a different feeling that...

Fuu: Well... Surely. It was a date after all.

Kar: Wha-...!? N-No, did you forget it was supposed to be a girl power test!?

Fuu: Ah, y-yes, that! So, what are the results on my girl power?

Kar: It was completely nonsensical, my memory gets blurry halfway... But what I'm sure of is that I'm tired.

Fuu: Tahaha... But still, Karin your girl power is pretty decent. I was shocked a little.

Kar: T-That's... probably because... I spend a lot of time next to you so... you know.

Fuu: ...Let's come again. Not as a test this time. We still have two udon restaurants to check out.

Kar: Are you a sentient stomach!? But... Yeah. Let's... hang out together again...

[Hero Club room]

Son: Then they suddenly approached each other! Locked eyes on the bench, and then, their sweaty hands were laid on top of each other!

Anz/Yuu/Its: Ho ho!

SON: As their hearts were beating inside their chests uncontrollably faster! They slowly approached their faces when... Owowowowow~!

Kar: Stop making up wild fantasies!! We promised not to talk about it, remember!?

Yuu: Eh? Karin-chan, was that story about you?

Kar: Eh!?

SON: Aah~ah... I even made sure to hide all names and labeled it as fiction~.

Its: That would mean... Karin-san and onee-chan, hawawa! That's what you did on your date!?

Kar: WWWWhat the-!? O-Of course not...!

Fuu: Morning.

Kar: Fuu, perfect timing! Say something so they understand!

Anz: Fuu-san! Was it true that the atmosphere between you and Karin-san at the mall was nice!?

Fuu: Eh... Aah, I guess... Yeah.

Yuu/Its/Kar: Ooooh~~. / Eeh~~!!!?

Its: It was involving girl power, so I thought it would've been a joke!

Kar: That's totally wrong! Stop with the misleading reaction, Fuu!

Son: They're both slow to make progress but as soon as they're alone together, drama ensues. Aah~, romance is so marvelous, isn't it~.

Kar: There was not a bit of romance! The only thing we did was choose clothes for sister!

Sek: Ha? Meaning Itsuki-chan?

Fuu: Hm, that's right. Stuff happened, and that's ultimately what it came down to...

Nat: It's very like Fuu.

Anz: But Karin-san referred to Itsuki-chan as "sister"... That means... That means...♪

Meb: Would I be right to assume Karin has become Itsuki-chan's sister-in-law?

Nat/Fuu/Kar: Eh......

Its: Eeeeeeeeeh! It went from zero to one hundred during the little time I wasn't here for!!

Kar: There was no progress, not even a millimeter, none!!

Fuu: How will you fix that, Karin!? It turned into this because you called Itsuki, sister!

Kar: If you're blaming someone, your reaction had way worse repercussions!

Tou: Haa... Here's yet another mayhem. Sonocchi, how do you plan on putting an end to it?

SON: Everything's fine. This is just how they normally operate~♪

Yuu: Yes yes. They get along so well♪

Kar/Fuu: How do you figure!!?

Its: I'm glad you're close, but please don't make progress when I can't see you~~!
