Chapter Text
Towa knew she had to do it. If not, what would happen? She knew she felt something for Kirara, and she knew it was definitely romantic. These feelings had caused her to act strangely. She would get more embarrassed around Kirara, she would get too caught up with her thoughts and begin to jumble her speech when talking to her, and she would get too flustered whenever Kirara would ask Towa to do something simple for her or asked how she was doing.
Towa was sure that this affection was real, but she didn't know how to handle it. Towa never understood what love even was, as she never experienced the feelings involving it. Well, that is, until now. Was it really love? Or just strange, mixed feelings? Either way, she needed an answer. She thought to herself, wondering how to approach it correctly. Should she tell Kirara in a fancy way, like a handwritten letter? Perhaps a party? She pondered on about it, until she decided on the most simple solution: telling Kirara her feelings old-fashioned.
"Today is the day," Towa whispered to herself, "I, Princess Hope Delight Towa, will face my feelings. I will tell Kirara, and I will not let myself down!" Towa yelled in an upbeat voice. She was extremely nervous, but she had to be brave and do it.
Towa wanted to look presentable today, since it was a very important day. She wore a semi-dark red dress with white frills, a white bow with red frills, black thigh highs and crimson dress shoes. She knew Kirara was a sucker for good fashion, so she hoped this would charm her, or at least get a compliment out of Kirara. Towa looked into her mirror, gave herself some reassuring words, and got ready for the moment she was waiting for.

"Towacchi, you look cute today~"
Towa yelped and turned around to find Kirara standing behind her.
“K-Kirara! I-I had no idea you where there.." Towa stuttered as she glanced at Kirara. Kirara was wearing a yellow sweater that slightly fell off her shoulders. She was wearing a purple tank top underneath, and she was wearing blue denim shorts with black stockings. In addition, Kirara was wearing her star-shaped earrings. She had a purple headband with two small bows at each end, and she was also wearing tan designer boots. Towa couldn't help but blush. She tried to hide her face from Kirara so she didn't see her blushing.
Unluckily for Towa, Kirara noticed her cheeks had a rosy tint, and of course she was curious. She walked over to Towa's side, and placed her hand on Towa's back. "Towacchi, are you okay?"
Towa jumped and let out a small cry. "I-I'm fine! N-nothing's wrong!" Towa shouted. "I'm perfectly fine.”
Kirara side-eyed Towa, but smiled at her. "Well, okay... if you say so. Ah, y'know, since we don't have class today, I was planning on going out. You wanna come with me?"
Towa froze, unsure of what to do. Should she go with Kirara? What if she does go, but makes a fool of herself? After all, she was still learning about everyday life on this world and was still trying to adapt to everything. If she did go, she was sure she would screw up and embarrass Kirara, and herself in the process.
"I..." Towa began to reply in a shy, small voice, "I...I'll go." Towa's cheeks began to turn pink again, and she looked down at the floor.
Kirara suddenly wrapped her arms around Towa and hugged her tightly, which startled Towa. "Thank you sooo~ much Towacchi! Let's have fun, OK?" Kirara kept her arms around Towa, which made Towa even more tense.
---------------------
A few minutes later, the two went back to their room to get the things they needed for when they went out. Towa was very, very afraid. She knew she shouldn’t be, but she was. How would she get the courage to confront Kirara? What if she embarrassed herself? Many ideas crossed Towa’s mind, which caused her to become even more anxious of what might happen.
She tried to shake off her thoughts, and tried her hardest to prepare herself for what was to come.
