Yuahuatouri: A New Life Being a Legend

Chapter 399 - Lover Contest

The night had come, it happened that Arata had just finished preparing all the salaries they wanted and they received it with a smile filled with gratitude. Tomorrow they will continue their work of being a waiter and Arata also does not forget to tell Honoka that she wants to order more ingredients, honoka quickly contacted some people who delivered all the materials needed by Arata and 10 minutes later all the goods had arrived.

Honoka went home alone while holding all the recipes and dishes given by Arata, Honoka felt impatient to give it all to Kou who was waiting at home. Hana also thanked him as much as he wanted to help his work, he said, Marie happens to come home first because she has to follow Honoka's plan so that Mitsuki and Asriel can go home together because the path of their home is almost the same so the right time for them to spend alone at night.

They were walking alone in the middle of a very quiet street, there was no one but the two of them as all of the Legends were currently enjoying the song show in the center of the city and it just so happened that the lover contest was also currently being prepared for tomorrow. Asriel sees Mitsuki moving her hair and feels a chill when a cold gust of wind hits her body.

"Cold?"

"I'm fine." Mitsuki's expression seemed to worry about something and it made Asriel instantly aware.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing..." Mitsuki actually wanted to walk home while feeling the warmth from Asriel's hand, she tried to take a deep breath and exhaled slowly, trying to brave herself. That courage was already accumulated in Mitsuki's body and she was ready to tell Asriel.

"A-Asriel..."

Asriel takes some time to realize it, he sees Mitsuki who looks very embarrassed and tries to say it once again but can't, seeing the movement of Mitsuki's cold hand made Asriel immediately grasp his right hand, making Mitsuki surprised because he had just gotten what he wanted before he got home, Mitsuki stared at Asriel's face that looked so embarrassed that she could even see her reddened cheeks.

As their hands clasped together there was a warmth they shared, the sound of wind gusts felt calmer and quite conciliatory for them even making Asriel's heartbeat continue to beat without giving any pause.

"I'm having a great time today..."

"You can even beat that nervousness, too, good."

"Actually, I had a wonderful time because of you, Asriel..." Just hearing it made Asriel misbehave with shame filling her body.

"I'm so glad that you've been teaching me since. This is even the first time I've held a man's hand except my father..."

"Uh. um..." Asriel immediately misbehaved and felt awkward, unable to say anything but look around because he did not want someone to see him holding Mitsuki's hand, seeing Asriel who is being misbehaved makes Mitsuki chuckle because he looks funny too when feeling embarrassed and awkward.

***

The two of them returned home safely and could still feel the warmth that was shared by each other because of the hand held earlier, Asriel was currently alone in her room, thinking about Mitsuki because she did not understand what to do next. His mind is filled with himself and the love that Chloe once told him that it is time he sought a partner who would accept him, especially a couple who want to accompany his life until finale.

"I like you..." It's a word that comes out of Asriel, trying to practice expressing her feelings to Mitsuki, fear continues to fill his body because he cannot expect anything ahead of Mitsuki because he still does not understand so much about the love he feels and experiences today.

"I have to tell him..." Asriel still feels a sense of rejection in her that she is afraid that Mitsuki thinks of herself as a friend or a sister, hopefully, his expression of feelings for Mitsuki does not end in vain because he expects a positive answer from her, he just needs to mentally prepare to receive the answer that comes out of him, the point is that he must use confidence and courage to express it.

Tomorrow has come, as Hana and the others usually work at Arata's restaurant until five, after which they return home to bathe and prepare to attend the lover's contest. The contest is very much awaited because there are so many lovers who are compatible and cute plus the appropriate clothes they both wear, all the lovers are already gathered in the changing room because the lover contest is about to start, just need to wait for the lovers to wear clothes that look suitable and romantic.

"Is this enough...?" Asked by a legend who was preparing for the stage, he was helping Hana regarding her daughter's dress which looked very eye-catching, a white dress that looked exactly the same as the color of snow white.

"Wahhh, it turns out that my partner looks so compatible with princess clothes huh." Honoka approached Hana in her princely attire that looked so suitable. Honoka and Hana had entered this contest only to be a joke because Hana had just been trapped by Honoka by her coercion, Honoka wanted to have experience in entering this contest but she did not have a lover so she chose Hana who easily accepted anything.

"You're so weird, Honoka. The prince's clothes look so good on you, why were you born into a girl?"

"I didn't expect princess clothes to suit you so well, Hana, looks so pretty that even her partner looks so handsome right...? A girl in disguise, hopefully the judges don't know." Honoka laughed, Hana let out a long sigh and could do nothing but accept this quite strange state.

"Will everything go well? It seems like all lovers are very serious about entering this contest, unlike us. two girls are undercover."

"Nothing, new experience! I wanted to do this a few years ago when winter came but still haven't found a partner." Honoka hugged Hana tightly so she let out a long sigh and smiled as she also wanted to feel the experience of entering a lover contest.

"I don't deserve you, Honoka..." Hana chuckles.

Marie smiled broadly at the sight of Asriel and Marie wearing clothes that were perfectly suited, such as the clothes that were currently being famous for winter. Clothes covered with jackets are also scarves and they also wear gloves, making everything look so fit and beautiful.

"Wahhh, you guys look so good ya~" Marie said.

"Remember, don't be nervous you can't win first, second, or third." Honoka approached the two of them, Asriel immediately put on a flat face when she saw Honoka disguised as a male, just to enter this contest with Hana even Haruka herself noticed it and she patted him on the face because she did not expect Honoka to have just lied to her, she initially thought Honoka already had a boyfriend.

The lover contest is finally starting, all viewers are looking forward to seeing the couples who participated in the lover contest this winter, all viewers are already looking forward to seeing the couples who participated in the contest, the host usually opens this contest with a few words that the winner will be determined by three judges who will judge the match and the pair that looks so harmonious as a whole, the point of this contest is arguably fierce because the whole pair looks suitable.

Each pair will enter the stage in turn with a choice of numbers they take, or, the jury had five minutes to judge and the five minutes the couples used to show their entire outfit and romantic side, now it has entered number five and the couple who entered the stage are Rokuro and Haruka who look so suitable because they are wearing wedding clothes, like newly married husband and wife. All the spectators started clapping and cheering loudly as they looked so suitable.

Arata smiles proudly at his son who looks very suitable in bridal clothes, the other couple started to arrive according to this number of times the part of Honoka and Hana that was about to enter the stage because the number they chose was 17, all the girls were instantly fascinated to see Honoka who was so handsome, so, they did not know the fact that she was a girl. Arata and Ophilia widened their eyes when they saw Hana also coming along and her partner somehow looked like someone.

Honoka raised Hana like a princess, making the audience cheer loudly even to the point of making the judges smile with interest. The last number was twenty and it was Asriel's part with Mitsuki to visit the stage, the light of the lights started to shine on the stage and showed the arrival of Asriel and Mitsuki who were wearing clothes that were so suitable and harmonious that it even made everyone clap and cheer as well.

Mitsuki unintentionally slips away but Asriel manages to catch her so she accidentally hugs her, leaving the audience even more fascinated to see the couple in front of them who are so romantic, and who are so, Asriel is arguably a lover who cares so much because he managed to save Mitsuki earlier. The lover contest ended with all the spectators clapping their hands as loud as possible, the result will be determined by the judges who are currently in discussion.

It took them 10 minutes to get the results of these three lovers contest winners, the judges had just given the results they rated to the readers of the show. He began to read it and was surprised by the results because he did not expect the winner of the first champion turned out to be him, he began to hold tightly to the microphone and then smiled widely.

"This lover contest was won by three winners in a row..."

"...two couples who look fit and harmonious..."

"...Honoka Comi and Shimatsu Mizuhana! Congratulations!" Everyone was immediately delighted when they heard the results, they cheered loudly and applauded even to the point of making Arata surprised whereas Ophilia could only laugh because their joke somehow led them to the top of victory that was champion one, Haruka herself did not even expect Honoka and Hana to win the first place.

Honoka and Hana took the stage back to wave to the entire audience, Honoka thanked them while Hana was embarrassed because she did not expect to win with Honoka. There are still two winners left and the readers of the show start to appoint Rokuro and Haruka who won the second place while Asriel and Mitsuki won the third place, which is the third place, at least the champion three was still arguably the champion and Mitsuki felt a feeling so happy.

They don't really care who wins but at least they have fun with being a matching couple for today, Honoka and Hana start to talk that the first champion deserves to be won by Rokuro and Haruka or Asriel and Mitsuki but the judges seem to see Honoka and Hana as a suitable match.

"It's so weird, yeah..." Hana says.

"Yes, they look so cute. We shouldn't have done this but already, hahaha, we won!" 

The three winners get a ticket to enjoy a movie together, three privacy rooms that can be used to view a romantic movie. Mitsuki was immediately nervous when she saw him because tomorrow she had to use the ticket with Asriel, watching a movie in the privacy room seemed to make things even more awkward.

"Ticket for tomorrow, will you go?" Ask Asriel.

"Te-Of course..."
