Volume 13 Chapter 231-2 Shirogane Kanon, A Night Melody for the Sleepless Ladies
Edited by: Kanaa-senpai
’Alright, let’s dive in. Hmm… this question’s from Tsuno-oni-san. They’ve got more time and money now that they’re getting older, so they’ve been focusing on self-improvement. They want to know what we do for self-improvement, and how to become a woman that men find attractive.’
’Ooh, good question!’
Back when I was at Stars, I wasn’t a fan of self-improvement in that sense.
I was basically forced into lessons since I was a kid.
I barely had any time for myself.
And I had to do things I didn’t even like.
But everything I learned was useful.
It was necessary for me to behave properly as a princess, so I’m incredibly grateful for it.
These 2 probably had similar upbringings, so I’m curious to hear their thoughts.
’Honestly, I’m not a fan of lessons. I barely have free time with all the rituals and public duties, and those lessons just took up even more of it. But thanks to Aqua-senpai, the noble families were abolished, and I’m free from that now. I’m so happy to have more time for myself. Still, I’ve had many opportunities where I thought it was good I learned those things, so I’m really grateful to the teachers, and that time was very meaningful to me. Tsuno-oni-san said they have more free time, so I think they should try doing whatever they want. Or, maybe something that could be useful for their job… I write a lot of letters, so learning calligraphy and penmanship was really helpful!’
Exactly!
Kukuri-chan gets it, too.
I nodded along with Kukuri-chan’s words.
’People often think self-improvement means lessons, but you can do it without them.’
’Like what?’
Emily-senpai paused a bit after Kukuri-chan’s question.
Uh oh…
Emily-senpai usually says something crazy after a pause like that.
’Listen up! A woman’s charm isn’t just about looks──it’s about polishing your inner beauty, too.’
Oh, for sure.
Improving things like diet and sleep to make yourself shine from within──that’s definitely a good idea.
’I’m always trying to be conscious of my inner self, but are you all honestly living with that awareness?’
Emily-senpai!?
Just because it’s a late-night radio show doesn’t mean you can skip all the way to that!
Kukuri-chan, quick, stop whoever’s next to you!
’I really don’t have any value anymore. I’m already in my late twenties, so I’ve given up, you know? But to all the women who think like that, let me tell you──there’s Aqua-sama out there! A guy who makes you believe there’s still hope as long as he’s alive, strolling around without a care!’
Ugh… that’s too on point to argue with.
Seriously, just Aqua’s existence is saving most women out there.
The other day, he even mentioned that his strike zone is wider than a black hole, and they had a special show discussing how no woman can escape becoming Aqua’s target!
’It’s vital to walk with a conscious mind down there. You never know when you might turn a corner and bump into Aqua-sama, or meet him fatefully at the bottom of these stairs! Thinking that way gives us no time to be careless!’
Ah, yeah.
I get it.
Just the thought of possibly meeting Aqua makes me feel so excited!
Your mindset matters a ton, and when your mental state is good, it really shows in how you carry yourself.
Considering that, what Emily-senpai said might be the best self-improvement advice ever.
’So I live every day with my inner self in mind. And you too, Tsuno Oni-san, should start paying attention to yours starting tomorrow!’
’I-I see…’
Kukuri-chan, don’t fall for it!
I almost did for a second, but this is just Emily-senpai’s style.
They’re giving some totally plausible reasons, but honestly, it’s just a bunch of nonsense!!
’And for our final letter, we have a question from someone who’s about to be a mama. They’re currently pregnant and worried about what life’ll be like after the baby. Will my husband still love me once I’m a mother? Any advice would be appreciated!’
Oh, that was my question sent anonymously!
Yes!
I can’t believe it’s the last one they read! I’m so happy!!
’You don’t need to worry. Aqua-sama will still love you, so just relax and let yourself be held, Kanon!’
Wait, what!?
I sent that with a throwaway account!
How could they just assume it’s me!?
Sure, I sent it, but how did they figure it out?
Ughhh!!
’Eh!? Is this letter from Kanon-san?’
’No idea! I just thought it’d be hilarious if it really was Kanon and she was freaking out. Sorry if it’s not you, Kanon!’
Not cool!!
I can’t believe I got totally played!
Aahhh!
I’m rolling around in bed, stressing out.
’So, if it’s not Kanon-san, what do you think Emily-oneechan would advise?”
’Since I’m also pregnant, I looked it up, and I think getting your body back in shape should be a priority.’
Yeah, that makes sense.
I’ve been planning my postpartum workout menu too, so I need to get serious about it.
Aqua might say I look fine just as I am, but I really don’t want him seeing me like this.
’Kukuri, do you have any advice?’
’Umm… maybe buy some sexy lingerie for when you’re a grown woman? Sorry, I just turned high school and haven’t dated anyone, so I’m not a great advisor.’
No, that’s not true.
You’re fine!
Buying sexy lingerie could be a solid idea.
Just the other day, Nee-san and I were raving about stuff like that!
’Alright, for Kukuri’s birthday, I’ll get her some sexy lingerie.’
’E-eh?! Really…?’
’Huh? You don’t like it?’
’No… I don’t dislike it, but I wonder if I can pull it off… I’ll do my best!’
Heh, Emily-senpai is a total pervert, but she’s got a knack for picking out lingerie, so you can trust her.
I don’t know how she does it, but she always nails Aqua’s tastes perfectly.
’Well then, everyone, farewell.’
’See you again!’
And just like that, Emily-senpai and Kukuri-chan’s first radio broadcast ended.
I was worried for a bit there, but it went pretty well, I think.
I was getting sleepy, so I turned off the lights and dove into bed.
