[Free Talk: This is Ikeyamada Go’s new series. I got the twins’ name from a Japanese blog *lucky* so except for them, most of the names are guesswork.]
Narration: “199x year, there are fraternal [mixed sex] twins that was
born into the Kobayashi family. The boy’s name is Kobayashi Mitsuru [十]
and the girl’s name is Kobayashi Megumu [愛]. This is the two’s cute
love story.” While the twins are drawing penguins, their mother tells
them that their names were taken from the wife, ‘Megohime’ [愛姫] and
retainer, Kojuro [小十郎] of Sengoku’s Date Masamune. One of the twins asks
if it is Masamune again. Their mother tells them that he is a great man
who governed the northeast of Japan and it seems that her ancestors are
Masamune’s relatives. Megohime is a cute princess. Kojuro is a really
amazing and manly trusted aide of Masamune. So, their names Megumu [愛]
is from Megohime [愛姫], while Mitsuru [十] is from [小十郎]. “I hope that the
two of you will grow up and become outstanding people like them.” Ten
years after, Megumu has become an amazing rekijo [otaku who is fond of
history; in this case, Masamune] and gamer. Megumu is playing Sengoku
game on her PSP. With sparkles, she gushes that Masamune is still quite
cool today. At a kendo competition, someone wins the match. It is Akechi
[明智] School’s Kobayashi Mitsuru. The other school’s girls scream that
he is amazing, cute and cool. Mitsuru kisses the girl’s hand and asks
for her name. And, Mitsuru has become an energetic[/bold] manly guy in a
different kind of sense[/meaning]. Someone mutters to the captain that
Mitsuru is hitting on the girls again. The captain laments that
Mitsuru’s good point is being good at kendo but when he touches a girl,
he is beyond salvation. Narration: “A girl longing for a 2D love. A guy
with no specific lover. These two who still doesn’t know true love are
about to come across a miraculous encounter.”
In school, Megumu calls her friends Otomo [小友] and Koshizu [小靜] to
look at the super precious Masamune cellphone strap that she got. She
thanks them for helping her write 100 postcards to get it. Otome, an
idol otaku, tells her that it is mutual for they helped her get a
KISSXKISS concert ticket. Koshizu, a fujoshi [otaku into BL] also thanks
them for helping her get the limited card of ‘I x You’ <- bl novel.
The three happily exclaim that nothing is impossible with an otaku girl
group and long live otaku-friends. The guys think that if they don’t
talk, those girls seem well-behaved. They lament that it is such a waste
for they are quite a personality. Narration: “Kobayashi Megumu. 15
years old. (First year high school) Everyone calls her, Minia Megu-chan [this one
is guesswork from 小愛; I just chose the one that starts with M. ^^;]
Despite not having a 3D love yet, but everyday, she is quite happy being
with her beloved friends♡” Skipping down the stairs of the pedestrian
bridge, Megumu is thinking of playing her game when she gets home.
Suddenly, she trips. To her surprise, a guy grabs her from behind to
stop her from falling down. Blushing, Megumu thinks that this guy’s
smell makes her feel good. The guy asks her if she is okay. Megumu is
thinking that this is the first time a guy has held her tightly. Then,
she remembers that she must thank him. She abruptly turns around to
thank him but she ends up accidentally kissing him. Embarrassed Megumu
shouts her apology and quickly runs off. Later on, she catches her
breath near a post and wonders what she is doing. She couldn’t believe
it that they suddenly kissed and he must have thought that she is a
pervert. She wasn’t able to see his face clearly [because his hair is
covering his eyes] but it is obviously a guy, and there is a scent that
captivates her. She thinks that she could only say ‘sorry’ and not even
properly thanking him. Narration: “But, on that night, Megu-chan is in for a
bigger shock.”
Megumu exclaims that she’ll go to his school as him. Mitsuru asks his
twin to please switch with him because he failed his history exam again
and starting tomorrow, he has supplementary lessons and a quiz. If he
didn’t get satisfactory grades, he will always have to supplementary
lessons every Sunday. Megumu exclaims who is he kidding and he should
resolve it himself. Mitsuru tells her to just agree for it is only for a
week and isn’t her history really good and she is always playing that
Sengoku game. Megumu exclaims that she absolutely does not want to and
she fundamentally isn’t good in acting like a guy. Mitsuru tells her to
please do it because he has dates with girls on Sunday. Megumu refuses
and kicks him out of her room. She shouts that she won’t do such a
reckless thing. Megumu angrily thinks that this isn’t some manga or
anime so how can they just switch. Even if they look alike, their
natures are the opposites. Popular with girls, Mitsuru is active and
outgoing, and is into sports. And, she is an average ordinary student
who can pass her studies. That is why she can’t believe that they came
from the same genes. The next day, Megumu screams in shock for she can’t
find her bag and uniform. On the table, there is a wig, Mitsuru’s
uniform and a note from Mitsuru that he’ll leave it up to her. Megumu
angrily shouts Mitsuru’s name but Mitsuru is already running out of the
house. He proudly says, “No wonder it is the great me. Perfect girl
disguise☆” He put on a wig and padding for the chest. Mitsuru tells
himself that actually he is cuter this way than Megumu and it would be
okay if Megumu dresses up herself [like this; Megumu doesn’t seem to
wear ribbons in school] but then, she is still his younger sister. Then,
he notices a couple of guys passing by. Trying it out, he gives them a
chu with a wink and totally captivated them. Mitsuru proudly thinks,
“Success!! Guys also think that I’m perfect!! The great me is already
cute that I can captivate someone.”
Riding on the bus, Megumu’s friends hug ‘Megumu’. Mitsuru wonders if
they are Megumu’s friends and these two really have a chest. Otomo
comments about ‘Megumu’s cute ribbon and asks if ‘she’ has seen
KISSXKISS new song JUMP and it really sounds great. Then, Koshizu lends
‘Megumu’ a BL novel on Sengoku and asks ‘her’ to tell her ‘her’ opinion
on it after reading it. Soon, Otomo and Koshizu kept on raving about
idols and BL that Mitsuru thinks that he totally couldn’t understand
what they are talking about and except for their appearance, one
wouldn’t have known that they are otaku. So, Mitsuru just tries to blend
in by saying that those idols are good. Meanwhile, Megumu has arrived
at Akechi School which looked like a delinquent school with lots of
graffiti on the walls. Dressed up as a boy, Megumu wonders what the heck
this is for even if she did end up going to his school, she never heard
of such a tall guy there, like 3 meters tall. Aghast and nervous Megumu
decides that she’ll just quietly go in and get out. Then, pointing at
‘Mitsuru’ a crying guy shouts, “You twerp, it seems that last week,
you’ve dated my Nana. I really won’t forgive you for making a move on my
girl. I’m going to beat you up to a pulp!!” It is Mogami-senpai (3rd
year), the third strongest in school. The other delinquent-looking guys
say that it is out, first year Kobayashi is quite daring to make a move
on the third’s girl. “We’re going to see a bloody fight!!” Trembling
Megumu mentally shouts at her twin. And, Mitsuru is having the time of
his life. He thinks that Igaku [井學] is really good for there are lots of
girls and the classroom is clean. Compared to a guys’ school, this is
heaven. In the cafeteria, Megumu’s friends are letting ‘her’ test some
juice. Mitsuru thinks that Megumu ought to be very happy for that place
is like a male harem and later on, she’ll have an immunity from guys.
Then, he notices a reporter and cameraman interviewing a girl. Koshizu
says that it is section A’s Tokugawa Azusa [德川 梓]. ‘Megumu’ says that
‘she’ saw her on the magazine. Otomo asks what she is saying when Azusa
is famous in their school. She is Eighteen’s famous model and the
daughter of the school director. The other guys are saying that she’s so
cute. Mitsuru thinks that his cuteness won’t lose to her but then, a
guy can’t help but be moved by her for her smile is like an angel’s.
Later on, holding his cellphone, Mitsuru wonders whether or not he
can get Azusa’s email. Then, he bumps into a girl who drops some cans of
drink. Helping her pick it up, Mitsuru asks long fringe girl if she is
alright. He offers to help her carry them since those are a lot. The
long fringe girl just shakes her head and quickly leaves. Mitsuru
wonders if she can drink all of those. When Mitsuru is wondering if his
cellphone is okay, he overhears a girl complaining why it took such a
long time for her to buy some drinks and she is so useless. Mitsuru
turns to that empty classroom to see the long fringe girl being
reprimanded[/bullied] by Azusa and 2 friends. Azusa says that she is
tired from the shooting today so she shouldn’t have made her to wait for
a long time. She complains over having to keep on smiling and her
shoulder is aching. Her friends tell her that is how it is being a
famous model. Azusa also complains that oyaji[older guy] who was staring
at her during the shoot is quite disgusting. Then, she notices ‘Megumu’
looking at her. Mitsuru has turned to stone over this kind of Azusa.
With a scary expression, Azusa glares at ‘her’ and asks if ‘she’ got a
problem. This made Mitsuru quickly run off and apologize. He thinks that
girl has two personalities and what part of that is an angel, how
scary. In a bad mood, Azusa drinks the juice and complains that it isn’t
the juice that she asked her to buy. “Okay, I’ll give it to you.” Azusa
throws the contents of the can at long fringe girl’s head. She coldly
asks if it is delicious. Azusa’s friends giggle over this. Clenching her
fist, long fringe girl glares at Azusa. Azusa asks what’s with that
look. She calls her friends and tells them that this girl wants to drink
more so they should give her some more. The friends start to open their
drinks and say, okay. One of the friends tells the girl to quickly
drink some more. Then, she tosses the soda can at the girl. To their
surprise, ‘Megumu’ goes in and hits the can away with a shinai [bamboo
sword used in kendo]. [<- he borrowed it from the kendo club] The can
splits in half and spills its contents on Azusa and friends.
While Azusa screams that it is cold, Mitsuru laughs and says that it
is like a wet beauty. The long fringe girl thinks that ‘she’ just broke
that can in half with a shinai. Mitsuru says, “Fundamentally, the great
me would acknowledge that among girls in this world, you are a cute
girl. But even if your appearance is quite beautiful, your inner and
outer being, are two different persons. Sneering while maltreating the
weak, I hate this ugly [personality] kind of girl the most! *points his
shinai at Azusa* I’m talking about you, Tokugawa Azusa!!” Azusa angrily
asks if ‘she’ said that she’s ugly. Long fringe girl blush a bit.
Turning to long fringe girl, Mitsuru asks if she is alright. With a
handkerchief, Mitsuru tells her to wipe her face and head first. He
tells her to lift up her head. Mitsuru freezes upon seeing a pretty face
behind her long fringe hair. “At that second, my heart seems to have
stopped.” Meanwhile, Mogami is running after Megumu at the corridors.
Mogami shouts that if he has integrity, he shouldn’t run away. “Stand
still, Kobayashi!!” Carrying her bag, Megumu shouts, no way. She wonders
why is she being punished this way and she hates Mitsuru. She manages
to run up to the roof. She looks around where she can hide. She decides
to go up the stairs to the upper roof and hide there first. She finds a
guy sleeping there. She quickly clings on to him and mentally begs him
to hide her. She is quite scared for she doesn’t want to be beaten up.
Then, she notices a comfortable scent..it is like before, when that guy
‘saved’ her from falling down the stairs. The guy sits up and looks at
her. The guy has a bandaged right eye. [fyi, Masamune also has a
bandaged right eye] Megumu blushes. The guy says, “You are..” She thinks
that it is the gentle lavender scent that seems to captivate her.
Narration: “Right now, the first grand miracle love, the playing of the
overture. *twins blushing* On 201x, Sept △, 15:20:02 [time], we first
learned the meaning of what was called as ‘dokidoki’ [/heart beating
fast](>o<).”
