「What? Wait! Hold it, Momoi-san! You mean we have to call each other『Romeo』and『Juliet』here!? In the shopping centre!?」

「Uh huh! ‘Course, you are referring to each other like that. Andou-kun being『Romeo』and Sakura, you being『Juliet』~」

「I get that! It’s just… not what I’m hesitant about Momo… I-It’s just really embarrassing to do that publicly…」

「Nonsense! Sakura, we’re doing all this for your sake, ya know…?」

「Momo…」

「For the sake of ensuring you become one with your role, you must play out Romeo and Juliet and truly be Juliet. While you’re at it, you and Andou can—Oops~ Anyway, I will be observing the both of you to see whether you are able to keep to the theme~」

「Huh? Momoi-san, didn’t you just try to imply something? 」

「Hmm? Did I~?」

Fufufu. Recently, Sakura was labelled as a ham actor, yeah? But if you give it some thought, she doesn’t need to play the role of a girl who’s fallen in love. That, in sum, is what we’re going to drive through Sakura. (Momoi)

It can’t be helped then… Since the purpose is for Asakura-san to improve her acting, I’ll try not to call out to Asakura-san too often unless I have to— (Andou)

「Oh, before I forget, Class Rep also said regarding the assignment,『Both of you must call each other by your character names no less than 30 times today. If you say it less than 30 times or call each other by your actual name, there will be a penalty!』」

「「Penalty?」」

「Oh? Right! I haven’t told you guys about it yet. A penalty awaits you if you call each other by your real names instead of your character’s name~ The same applies if you fail to call each other by your character’s names 30 times by the time the date ends. You’ll be penalized. 」

「Mo-Momoi-san… Just curious, what is the penalty?」

I have an incredibly bad feeling about this… (Andou)

「Sure. The penalty is the loser has to whisper to the other party『sweet nothings.』」

「「Sweet nothings!?」」

「Wait, Momo! S-S-S-Sweet nothings!? … You mean, if I get the penalty, I-I-I have to whisper sweet nothings to Andou-kun!?」

「A-Asa—MMHNGH!」

Shit! I was just about to call out to her by her name! (Andou)

「Yup! Now, whisper『sweet nothings』to Andou-kun, Sakura~」

「Hnn? Andou-kun, what’s the matter—- EH!? Momo, why are you suddenly making me whisper『s-s-sweet nothings』to Andou-kun?」

「Well, didn’t you just say

『 S-S-S-Sweet nothings!? … You mean if I get the penalty, I-I-I have to whisper sweet nothings to Andou-kun!?』

Hmm?」

「Oh…」

「Asa— No. Juliet-san… It seems the date has already begun so please be more mindful of your words.」

「Yes… I’ll be more careful, Ando—」

「Juliet, stop!」

「Mmrgh! T-That was close… Thanks… for that, Ro… Romeo…」

「Anytime…」

This is super embarrassing… calling each other like that. (Asakura & Andou)

「Any~who. Although, flirting is a huge no no, but Sakura, the penalty is you have to whisper to Andou-kun sweet nothings three times~」

「What? Momo! Why must I do it three times? Shouldn’t the penalty just be that I only have to say it once!?」

「 Sakura, you did call out his name three times~ Duh!」

「Har…?」

「Ah… now that you mentioned it, she did…」

「Eh? Andou-kun… Y-You’re kidding, right?」

「And~~~ That’s the fourth!」
