nebulancer | It’s party time! – Iku & Reina Mini-Drama

[Someone knocks on the door.]

Iku: Oh? A knock? Coming!

[He opens the door.]

Reina: Trick or... TREEEEEAT~!!

[Reina bursts out in a flurry, dumping something on Iku’s head.]

Iku: Wh-wh-whoaaa!

Reina: Yahoo, hooya! Hope you’ve been doing well, Ikkun?

I’m here to have some fun!

It’s me, your October duo partner, Ichisaki Reina-chan, at your serviiice~! ☆

Iku: R-Reina-chan!?

Reina: YEEES! Reina-chan, at your SERVIIICE!

It’s been totes long, Ikkun. Hope you’ve been in good health!

Iku: Huh!? U-uh, yeah. Um, sure, I’ve been in good health, b-but this is a very unexpected visit. A-and what’s this thing you suddenly put on my head...?

Reina: Candy.

Iku: Uh...

Reina: Didn’t I mention it just now? Trick. Or treat.

Iku: Uh. Yeah.

Reina: The whole world is gearing up for Halloween, don’tcha know?

Iku: Yeah, in two weeks!

Reina: Tomorrow’s a fan-only event for my fave genre!

Iku: I can see where this is headed.

Reina: So! With that being said, I’m here to hang out!

Iku: I-I-I get it now...

From every angle, Halloween coming up is clearly just an excuse to justify you coming here for the fan event...

Reina: Fufufu~ It’s not like I can drop by constantly to have fun, y’see. Like, I came out here to have fun, so I considered, “Hey! Might as well visit and see Ikkun for a little bit.”

It’s a real relief you were in the dorms and had the day off.

Iku: Um, sure... *chuckles* Gotcha. I’m glad I get to see you, too.

Welcome, Reina-chan.

Reina: Yeppers!

[Iku is rummaging through the snacks Reina gave him.]

Iku: Huh... Still, I’m impressed you managed to bring this much candy with you.

Reina: Despite my looks, I’ve got a good deal of strength on me!

HEH-HEH!

Iku: Did you buy it all?

Reina: Nope. Huhu, all of these were actually gifts. I dropped by the office on my way here, and these are sample products that they had lying around there.

They had ‘em all in a box, but the sell-by date was real close, so the people there said that it’d be okay for me to grab as many as I wanted.

That’s why I took them up on their offer and brought the whole dang box with me!

Iku: ...That’s the first time I’ve heard of someone taking an entire cardboard box with them when they’re allowed to take as many as they want. That’s sorta impressive.

Ahaha. Wasn’t it tough, carrying it all? I could’ve helped if you asked.

Reina: Ahahahaha! It’s okay, it’s okay! I’m, uh... Let’s see... I’m fine with just taking a paper bag of ‘em with me.

I was originally planning to give them to you when I received it all, anyway.

Iku: Huh? To me?

But again, why?

Reina: Ai-san told me~ That very soon, in these very dorms, you’re going to hold an extravagant Halloween party!!

So I thought, maybe you’d need some candy! That’s why I brought ‘em all ☆

Iku: Oh, I get it. *chuckling* The source of your information came from Ai-chan?

True, I am the co-organizer of the Halloween party, alongside Ai-chan’s brother Koi.

Reina: I knew it!! But dang it~ having a Halloween party~ sounds so fun~

I wish you the bestest of luck on your organizing!

The event-loving Reina-chan will be cheering on the Tsukino dorms’ Halloween party with all her heart!! Which is why...

I have presented to you these refreshments.

Iku: Ahaha! Thanks, Reina-chan. In that case, I’ll gladly accept.

Reina: Yeppers~

Iku: And so you’re going to hang out with us on the day of the party, right?

Reina: Hyuh? Wha-whuh— Me?

Iku: Yeah! You love events, don’t you? So you should drop by the party to have fun, too. Invite your friends over, too.

I do suppose it’d be worrisome if you stayed too long into the night, but it’d be fine if it’s from noon to evening, right?

See, Reina-chan, you’re basically like... a sponsor who provided us with these snacks, too. Let’s enjoy the party together!

Reina: Wheh? Wha? Is it really okay for me to?

If a girl barges in on some easygoing, relaxed guys-only party, wouldn’t I be a huge bother~?

Iku: Huh!? Huh, no way. If anything, everyone’d rejoice and go, “Yes! A lovely influence!✨”

Reina: But what about... your passionate man-to-man talks...!?

Iku: Passionate talks... I don’t think we really have that sort of thing... We talk about stupid things, though.

Reina: Like love gossip!?

Iku: It’s not going to be a school field trip during the nighttime...

Reina: Th-then...!?

Iku: Yeah!

Reina: Is it really, truly, positively okay for me to intrude on your party!?

To tell the truth, I’ve been rather... um, terribly... um, INCREEEDIBLY curious about boys’ get-togethers for a while now!!

Iku: Th-that curious!?

Reina: YES!! THAT CURIOUS!!

Can’t you see!? It’s casual banter between men!! From the perspective of a girl like me, it’s basically a world that I’ve only seen in manga and the like!

And, like! If I were to phrase it in a way that’d be easy for you to understand, don’t boys have this sorta... wonderment when it comes to the terms, “girls’ dorms,” or, “girls-only parties,” or “pajama party”!?

It’s pretty much the same thing!!

Iku: If I nod in agreement, I think you’ll be unbelievably grossed out, so I’m putting my answer on hold.

Reina: As long as it gets across that I feel the same amount of wonderment~ then that’s enough~

...Ooh, whoaaa~! NIIIICE~!!

It’s time to infiltrate the Tsukino dorms’ Halloween party!!

Iku: *chuckling* I don’t think our stuff’s so admirable that it’d warrant such wonder in you, though... Regardless, I’m glad to hear you’re happy about it.

You definitely better come and hang out, okay?

Koi, Kakeru, Rui, and I will do our best preparing so that it’s a fun party!

Reina: Mmhmm! Please dooo~!

I’ll invite the Seleas and Fluna members so we can all hang out, okay!?

Iku: *laughing* Whoa, man! Things are going to take a turn for the gorgeous in one fell swoop, huh!

I think You or Arata-san would be over the moon hearing about that. Hehe.

Reina: ...Whaaahwaaah~! *squeals*

Aw man, I knew it! Events are really just so wonderful!

When plans are settled, my hype levels absolutely skyrocket outta the roof!!

Fufufufu...! All us girls definitely have to get started with our impactful “trick or treat,” so we need to start with practicing it right now!

Iku: I only request that you don’t overdo it!

Fufu. It’s the last big event of October, after all.

While surrounded by delicious sweets, let’s make sure to thoroughly and mightily enjoy ourselves!

Reina: You got that right, buddy~!!
