❝Oh ! No… um ! A-A cosmetologist is basically!… A person who provides helpful treatments to skin, hair, and nails!

She stands with a proper and stiff posture suddenly, smiling all the way. Apparently she hadn’t come across somebody who mistook her title for a sort of fortune teller before, but that doesn’t deaden her excitement in any way!

‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒‒   𝐔𝐑𝐆𝐇,      𝐖𝐇𝐘      𝐓𝐇𝐄      𝐇𝐀𝐈𝐑      𝐒𝐖𝐀𝐓𝐒   ?      It’s   like   a   layer   of   salt   on   top   of   this   whole   mess   that   is   Mioda.      Hajime’s   gritting   his   teeth   trying   to   put   up   with   her,      looking   just   on   the   verge   of   just   tossing   the   whole   musician   out      &      standing   up.      Of   course,      she’s   in   a   pretty   good   position   to   keep   her   balance   on   his   lap   at   present,      &      given   the   kind   of   person   she   is,      chances   are   she’s   gonna   have   no   trouble   at   all   with   him   trying   to   stand   up   or   shove   her   off.      At   least,      he’s   got   reasonable   cause   to   believe   that’s   the   case.

So   he’s   not   exactly   thrilled   with   her   being   here,      but   he’s   sticking   it   out   like   a   champ.      Even   with   that   growing   heat   of   embarrassment   under   his   skin,      or   flustering   or   whatever   it   is.      Of   course   she   looks   cute   winking   at   him,      tucking   back   her   wayward   strands      &      carrying   on.      Almost   exaggeratedly   so.      But   he’s   about   to   go   nuts   on   that   freaking   hair   of   hers      (      &      why’s   he   so   damned   flustered   just   having   her   thighs   pressed   flat   on   his   ?      ).

❝   So,      you’re   telling   me   …   you   want   to   play   the   harp.      On   my   lap.      Am   I   understanding   you   correctly   ?      &      why   my   lap   in   particular,      Mioda   ?      I’m   pretty   sure   you   could   get   away   with   using   Soda’s   …   although,      now   that   I’ve   said   it   out   loud,      I   can   see   why   you   wouldn’t   want   to.   ❞

Eugh.      Yeah,      that   wouldn’t   end   well   for   Mioda.      &      she   probably   would   make   it   end   badly   for   that   dufus   after   he   made   it   end   badly   for   her,      which   would   create   a   mess   that   surely   somehow   would   wind   up   being   Hajime’s   responsibility   to   clean   up.      So   much   for   that.

❛        OH   HAJIME   ,   ever   -   so   -   humble   hajime.   ❜   ibuki taunts lightly.        ❛        i   guess   that's   a   fair   question.   ❜   as she hums aloud, mind concentrated on pondering the question, ibuki’s body relaxes by sinking further into hajime’s chest. 

surely there were plenty of laps to go around, but this is ibuki, which means things are a lot more nuanced than usual. so, with every new person she contemplates, a finger raises. for example   :   sonia is the freaking ultimate princess so if anything , it should be ibuki asking sonia to sit on her lap. teruteru or fuyuhiko were out of the question for reasons that should be obvious        ————        though   ,   if she were really trying to simulate maximum uncomfortability they would probably be tied for the best option.

ibuki grimaces while revisiting hajime’s suggestion. the thought alone makes her nauseous, imagining the fumes radiating off of soda. gundam’s came with running the risk of either being cursed to ETERNAL DAMNATION or him taking it as some weird act of submission that would inevitably be misconstrued as an invitation for breeding. it was a tie between mahiru and mikan for most comfortable lap, but that was really neither here nor there.

she relents , hands falling at her sides in discomfiture        ————        (        hey   ,   wait   a   second   !   is   this   sh*t   really   working   ?         )     ❛   LUCK   OF   THE   DRAW   ?   ❜        ————        BINGO !     ❛   that’s   it   !   ❜        she exclaims joyfully, as though having cracked some masterful code. bounding off of the brunette’s lap she turns to face him        .        .        .     ❛   while   ibuki   practices   the   harp   ❜     taking a brief pause to play the air-harp     ❛   hajime-chan   can   see   if   it   helps   him   remember   his   talent   !   ❜        she plots back into his lap, arms outstretched and hands up towards the sky.     ❛   that   is   ,   if   he   can   hold   his   own   against   ibuki’s   mysticism.   ❜
