Chapter LXVIII: An Important Cabin

                                    

                                          
Kanji: It's gonna drive me nuts if I don't ask. How do you always have your gun with you? I've never seen you wear a holster.
Naoto: *rolls over in bed* Kanji, it's 3 in the morning, go back to sleep.
Kanji: Please?
Naoto: If you wake me up again, it'll be no snuggles for a week.
Kanji: Ok, ok... *wraps his arm around her and goes back to sleep*
Begin!
The second day of the ski trip... Yu decides to spend your time on the slopes until the sun sets...
Chie: All right! Time to hit the snow!
Yosuke: Someone's full of energy... You guys were up talking all last night, too.
Yukiko: How do you know about that!? Don't tell me...
Naoto: It's no surprise that they heard you, considering how loud you were. I told you over and over the walls were thin...
Yukiko: O-Oh. So that's all... I thought he might have been peeping...
Rise: We were talking about some pretty risque stuff in there... Sorry, Kanji. Did you get a nosebleed all over your pillow?
Kanji: Shuddup. Who'd wanna listen to you hens cluckin' all night, anyway?
Yosuke: I think I would... Just a little.
Teddie: I maaaaaay have done a little listenin'... I heard things about Nao-chan's size...and Yuki-chan's shape!
Chie: Stop lying, Ted! We didn't talk about anything like that!
Yukiko: Wait, what about my shape!? H-Have I changed somehow!?
Izanagi: (I wouldn't be surprised if all that TV World business made you all buffer.)
Yu: (It did to me.)
Naoto: You're letting him get to you. You're being manipulated.
Yu: Besides, I highly doubt that's what Kanji and Naoto would talk about.
Rise: Geez, forget about it. Let's just enjoy our day skiing. Let's go, Senpai!
Chie: ...Hold it right there. R-Rise-san, don't you think you're being a little too... y'know? You've been hogging the same ski partner way too much.
Rise: Huh? But it works out so nicely. You and Yosuke-senpai are both on snowboards. Teddie and Yukiko-senpai keep taking the steep slopes and won't slow down for me. And Kanji seems to want to be with Naoto-kun.
Kanji: Hey, what're you gettin' at...!?
Yu: Oh geez I wonder why?
Rise: So it's only natural that I'd pair up with Senpai yesterday. He and I will take it slow. You don't have to worry about me. C'mon, Senpai, let's go!
Chie: Her logic is 100% ironclad... Show biz people have amazing ways of persuading people.
Yosuke: Why're you impressed!?
Yu: Don't forget, I still have a girlfriend.
Rise: I know. But I want to enjoy my time with you until you end up leaving. Even if as friends only.
Naoto: Ahem... She's right. Th-The reason we're on this trip is for all of us to make some good memories of spending time with Senpai! In other words, we should all be trying to have some skiing time with him!
Kanji: Oh crap, you're right... You're right! I want to make memories with Senpai, too!
Yosuke: Sometimes, when you say things, I wonder if you have some hidden agenda behind them.
