Cover page: “Rihon Yuu Satodzuka Nagomi [from 里塜悠/なごみ], 15
years old. Regarding love and boys, until now, she purely has no inkling at
all.” Game #1: Is ideal much sweeter[/hopeful] than reality!? Narration: “Saturated
with a sweet fragrance and mixed with a dangerous scent, this is honey flavored
perfume of love.” At some place, a guy looks at a picture of a group of girls
on his cellphone. He puts his finger on the smiling faced girl and says, “Okay-
Then- I choose this girl.” Together with her friends at Cote Bazur [café/karaoke
bar], the smiling girl is sitting on the table. She happily looks at a crudely
drawn princess book and giggles that it is too perfect♡♡♡ Narration:
“Hiyii-♡♡♡ I’m Satodzuka Nagomi. 15 years old. Today is my first gokon
[group date].” Holding her book, Nagomi innocently asks, “Hey- Hey- Saka
[guesswork from 早歌] You
said that today’s gokon has some prince-sama types, right? Hee hee” Saka
scratches her head and she says that she reckons that there is none. Nagomi is
stunned and goes splat on the table. Saka tells her that it is embarrassing so
go close that book. Narration: “I’ve studied in exclusive female schools during
junior high and high school, so until now, I haven’t talked about romantic
love. Nagomi [<- addresses herself as a third person; a cute effect of Japanese
girls] is always waiting for *crude picture of prince protecting the princess* a
bright handsome, kind outstanding, forgiving[/lenient] Prince-sama!” The door
opens and someone apologizes for coming late. Four handsome guys greet the
girls and the girls blush over them. Nagomi spots a guy whom she thinks is quite
handsome. Their eyes met and the guy goes to her and says that he’ll sit beside
her. Nagomi happily thinks that her Prince-sama has appeared-♡♡♡
“It’s great!! It’s really great!! Could it be what’s about to follow is- the
start of a fragrant sweet romance-!?” While one of the guys are singing at the
karaoke, the guy introduces himself as Sakurada Haruto [guesswork from 櫻田遙斗/工口斗;
they are using two names for the guy ^^;]. As Nagomi tells him her name, she is happy
that he is talking with her. Haruto smiles and says that he’ll call her ‘Nagomi’.
Drooling with hearts in her eyes, Nagomi says okay♡. Then, he talks with her about
what song she likes. She happily thinks that Haruto is like Prince-sama, so messily
cool all together. “Very bright handsome. Perfect, as if he came out of this
manga drawing. *The picture shows Prince-sama saying that she is his princess
and they live happily ever after.* It’s simply like Nagomi ’s Prince-sama♡” Nagomi stands up and says that she’ll go to the washroom. Happily walking with her
manga, she goes into shock upon seeing a guy and a girl kissing at the hallway.
Blushing, she runs away and screams since she thinks that it is too shameful[/brazen].
“That kind of shameful thing obviously cannot be done before marriage. *tears*
How can they do that. How could they do that.”
She bumps into Haruto at the door. Haruto says that she hasn’t
come back so he went to check on her. Nagomi tearfully tells him that something
bad is happening. They look at the corner to see the kissing couple. Thinking
that this shouldn’t be allowed, Nagomi says that they are kissing. Haruto says
that those two are quite capable to have guts to do that in this kind of place.
Puzzled over what he mentioned as ‘capable’, Nagomi exclaims that no good. She
holds up a book [<- Cinderella] to him and tells him that the book says that
before marrying, they cannot do that kind of shameful thing. Haruto is
surprised by this. Nagomi asks could it be that they plan on getting married.
Haruto angrily shouts who is getting married. “Let me say!! *grabs Nagomi ’s
collar* Guys!! Even if they don’t like the girl, whether kiss or sex, they can
do it!! * Nagomi is stunned* Understand!!!” While Nagomi has turned into stone, Haruto’s
friend tells him that it [gokon] is over. Haruto says that is quick. Nagomi thinks
that this kind of thing is impossible.. “Isn’t it sweet romance -> marriage
-> shameful thing..? Then, speaking of that, what is sweet romance like?” Nagomi
is surprised when Haruto turns her face towards her and says after school
dismissal, he’ll go to her school to fetch her tomorrow. While he gently pokes
her cheek, Nagomi asks why. Haruto says that it is nothing. “Absolutely- be good
and wait for me♡” Narration: “Could it be that in reality, Prince-sama
doesn’t exist-!!!” After school dismissal, Nagomi is hiding behind Saka as they go
to the school gate. Saka angrily asks what’s up with her. Nagomi says that she is currently
playing a game of ‘if I am discovered by that shameless disciple, I must
immediately go home’ Saka says who cares about her, go far from her and play it
by herself. They were surprised by the other girls screaming over a handsome guy
by the gate. The girls curiously mutter whose boyfriend is he, and which school
is he from. Nagomi thinks that Haruto has appeared. Just when Haruto turns to see
her, Nagomi tries to grab a leaf to hide herself before he notices her. Haruto
angrily shouts that he has already seen her. Nagomi stiffens and thinks that it is
game over for her. Haruto ‘hooks’ Nagomi by the neck and says that they are going.
While Haruto drags Nagomi away, Saka giggles. Nagomi calls for Saka and tells her not
to laugh. Nagomi wonders what’s going on here.
While timidly walking behind Haruto, Nagomi asks if afterwards,
Haruto is going to do shameful things on pure Nagomi -chan. Haruto angrily asks, “Ha?
Are you referring to sex as the shameful thing? Who would do such a thing with
you? Relax, flat-chest!! It has to be at least with a C-cup.” Embarrassed Nagomi
exclaims that he really has no shame, then what are they doing to do
afterwards. Haruto angrily shouts, “Ah, geez. You’re really an idiot!
Obviously, you’re going out on a date with the great me[/oresama]-!!!” Frightened Nagomi says is that so. Then, she freezes. “Date?” Nagomi asks if he is going on a
date with her. Haruto says ya, that’s how it is. Nagomi asks, “Then, how come you
don’t have flowers?” Haruto goes, ‘huh’? Holding up her Prince-sama manga, Nagomi
shouts, “Look! Read what is written here! Prince-sama would come riding on a
carriage and bring flowers on his visit. Afterwards, he would say, ‘there are
no flowers more beautiful than you’.” Aghast Haruto shouts for her not to say
anymore. Nagomi happily says, “Isn’t it very beautiful♡” Having
goosebumps, Haruto shouts, “How gross.” Nagomi is stunned. Then, the two look
aghast-gloomy. Tearful Nagomi thinks, “Unexpectedly saying, ‘How gross’.. How
mean, Haruto.. This is Nagomi ’s very important first (date).. Ah, I obviously
anticipated it.. *looks at the sky and sees a seagull flying* There’s no Prince-sama
and even saying gross, reality *teary-eyed* isn’t a bit sweet and beautiful..” She
is surprised when Haruto brings her a flower-shaped balloon. She thinks that it
is a big flower. Flustered, Haruto looks away and says, “Let me tell you! The
one whose with you is the great me!! Not the Prince-sama, you’re talking
about!! *blushingly looks at her* Properly look at me.. If you don’t, I would
feel perplexed..” Nagomi blushes and thinks that in her life, this is the first
time she heard the beating of her heart. While she takes the balloon, Nagomi
thinks, “He is obviously not giving me flowers. He obviously isn’t Prince-sama
but rather, he is Haruto. It is totally not the same with what I’ve longed for.
But why do I currently feel my heart always saying dabump, dabump [<-
heartbeat]--” She holds the balloon tight to her face and says, “Ya.” This made
Haruto blush. He wipes[/covers] his face and says that they should go. She says
okay. Recalling him saying to properly look at him, Nagomi thinks, “I’ve never
experience this kind of feeling. It felt like pain. It also felt like restless
anxiety. Unable to use one’s hand to hold this sweet feeling. * Nagomi reaches out
and grabs Haruto’s sleeve.* What is this feeling.. How should I go about this..
This feeling is overly sweet..” Haruto holds her hand and asks what she is
doing. “Showing that kind of expression, I won’t be able to control myself..” Narration:
“He obviously isn’t the Prince-sama in my heart but why, my heart has never
pound like this, as if a deer who is going to get in an accident [<- idiom
of deer meeting headlights and heart beats very fast].”
As the two blushes, Haruto pulls her to him and says, “Close
your eyes, idiot.” Just when he is going to kiss her, the flower balloon flies
away and a piece of paper falls down from Haruto’s coat. Haruto looks aghast
when Nagomi picks it up and reads it: ‘Contract – If within the month, you get the
girl from the gokon to fall for you, we will give Sakurada Haruto one thousand
yen. – Yamasugi [guesswork from 山杉] and Kishimoto [guesswork from 岸本]’ Nagomi thinks that in the end, the guys
they’ve met at the gokon are thoroughly awful guys. “Is that how it it is..” Haruto
nervously tries to cover it up that it isn’t him and that is before, he is
doing that nonsense thing. He thinks, “This is bad. This girl might cry.. But-
even if she cries, I better say something good to hear even if it is just to
sweet-talk her..” He keeps on denying that it is him.. Then, he is stunned when Nagomi shows him a ‘fake smile’ and tears up the contract in half. She throws the
torn paper away and her heart immediately closed tight. Giggling, she turns around
and starts reading her manga. Haruto shouts, “Hey, wait!? Stop right there!!”
Still smiling, Nagomi turns around and says, “Hello. Who are you?” Haruto’s veins
are popping. He angrily shouts, “Stop joking around! Just now, who do you think
you’re having a date with!!” Holding her manga, she says, “Here, it’s
Prince-sama.” Haruto shouts, “Why you.” Flustered Haruto suddenly grabs her and
kisses her. Narration: “Even if there is no Prince-sama, if this sweetness will
bring me danger, then, I won’t fall in love.” Nagomi screams what he is doing and
promptly hits him on the face with her manga. Holding a princess book, blushing Nagomi shouts, “If you want to kiss that much, then kiss with this princess.”
Haruto angrily shouts, “Ha!? What nonsense are you talking about.” Nagomi throws
the book on his face and shouts, “Shut up, shameless disciple. *holding
Prince-sama manga* Whether it is kissing, marriage or other shameful things, I, Nagomi -chan don’t do it with anyone else except for this Prince-sama!! *Haruto
stunned speechless* I have already decided!! Farewell [forever].” Holding the
manga as if she is holding hands with Prince-sama, Nagomi starts walking away and
says, “Okay, let’s go home together, Prince-sama.” Holding the princess book,
aghast and angry Haruto says, “..then, let us kiss, your highness, princess. Ha
ha ha *more popped veins and throws the book on the floor* As if anyone would
do that, jerk!!! I absolutely would humiliate[/embarrass] you!! Remember that,
you darn girl!!” Nagomi turns around and sticks out her tongue at him, “Ble!”
Narration: “Saturated with a sweet fragrance and into this, mix with a
dangerous scent, but it will be soon after, before it turns into a sweet love.”
