For someone who despised gaming, she certainly seemed like she had the hands for it. Leaving that to hang in the air, Yoshino noted how quick Asashi was in answering the question and stating their status to her. Well, well, she couldn’t really see why Retsu hated the boy so much. He seemed fine enough so far. [color=8493ca]“Well then, I’m glad Yuuno is finding interests in smart, respectable young men,”[/color] she said coolly, adjusting her glasses all the same. [color=8493ca]“The union of a Blue Guild player and a Black Guild player…it’s almost ironic given the alliance we find ourselves in these days. But yes, you’re right. The Festival is much more important than two love birds in blossom. Carry on. By the way, I want you to contact your King about this Yuuno. She’s been ignoring my calls for the past two days.”[/color] She finally let go of Yuuno’s shirt and crossed her arms to listen more intently for the plan at hand. Asashi was being vague about it though and it caught both cousin’s curiosity. The more the boy spoke, the more Yoshino raised her eye. Being bed ridden seemed to have become an outlet for Asashi’s inspiration and all for the better too. [color=8493ca]“Both of us? Well, I suppose it won’t be anything too extraneous. Provided you tell us of course. And actually, I think your sister may have something to help this idea of yours as well,”[/color] the President said. Assuming Retsu was willing to reveal her little light show to the world. Back in the school, Bel was all smiles as Alex helped her back up like the proper gentleman he was. So many things needed to happen because the Festival would be starting soon. Oh, it was going to be so much fun, she was barely able to breathe! [color=6ecff6]“Don’t worry about it Jukey. Thing is, you’ll be helping me fix a certain something for the festival, heh! Something to help out my new alliance buddy and her personal spokeswoman. Besides, you wouldn’t dare put anything over your little Blue Bel, would you? >:3”[/color] With a wink and a grin, she scuttled off to who knew what else. But although her words seemed light-hearted, there was something ominous behind her tone. Whether Alex was going to outright question it couldn’t be known because time was moving all the same. The Festival was approaching without pause. [hr] [center][@KoL], [@Lucius Cypher], [@McFazzer][/center]
