Natsuki VS Yuri
They gingerly exchange sheets of paper, sharing their respective poems. As they read in tandem, I watch each of their expressions change. Natsuki's eyebrows furrow in frustration. Meanwhile, Yuri smiles sadly.
Natsuki: (What's with this language...?)
Yuri: Eh? Um...did you say something?
Natsuki: Oh, it's nothing.
Natsuki dismissively returns the poem to the desk with one hand.
Natsuki: I guess you could say it's "fancy".
Yuri: Ah- thanks...yours is...cute...
Natsuki: Cute? Did you completely miss the symbolism or something? It's clearly about the feeling of giving up. How can that be "cute"?
Yuri: I-I know that! I just meant...the language, I guess...I was trying to say something nice...
Natsuki: Eh? You mean you have to try that hard to find something nice to say? Thanks, but it really didn't come out nice at all!
Yuri: Um...well, I do have a couple of suggestions...
Natsuki: Hmph. If I was looking for suggestions, I would have asked someone who actually liked it. Which people did, by the way. Sayori liked it. And MC did, too! So based on that, I'll gladly give you some suggestions of my own. First of all-
Yuri: Excuse me...I appreciate the offer, but I've spent a long time establishing my writing style...I don't expect it to change anytime soon, unless of course I come across something particularly inspiring. Which I haven't yet.
Natsuki: Nn...!
Yuri: And he liked my poem too, you know. He even told me he was impressed by it.
Natsuki suddenly stands up.
Natsuki: Oh? I didn't know you were so invested in trying to impress our new member, Yuri.
Yuri: E-eh?! that's not what I...! Uu... you... you're just...
Yuri stands up as well.
Yuri: Maybe you're just jealous that he appreciates my advice more than yours!
Natsuki: Huh! and how do you know he didn't appreciate MY advice more?
Yuri: I...! no... if I was full of myself...I would deliberately go out of my way to make everything I do over cutesy! Are you that full of yourself?
Natsuki: Uuuuu...!!!
Sayori: U-Um!! Is everyone okay...?
Natsuki: Well, you know what?! I wasn't the one whose boobs magically grew a size bigger as soon he started showing up!
Yuri: N-Natsuki!!
Monika: Um, Natsuki, that's a little-
Natsuki & Yuri: This doesn't involve you!
Sayori: I-I don't like fighting. guys...!
Suddenly, both girls turn towards me, as if they just noticed I was standing here.
Yuri: MC...! She-She's just trying to make me look bad...!
Natsuki: That's not true! She started it. If she could get over herself and learn to appreciate that simple writing is more effective... Then this wouldn't have happened in the first place! What's the point in making your poems all convoluted for no reason? The meaning should jump out at the reader, not force them to have to figure it out. Help me explain that to her, MC!
Yuri: W-Wait! There's a reason we have so many deep and expressive words in our language! It's the only way to convey complex feelings and meaning the most effectively. Avoiding them is not only unnecessarily limiting yourself...it's also a waste! You understand that, right, MC?
MC: Um...!
Natsuki & Yuri: Well??
MC: ...
How did I get dragged into this in the first place?! It's not like I know anything about writing...But whomever I agree with, they'll probably think more highly of me! So, of course that's going to be...! "Natsuki.", "Yuri". or "Help me, Sayori!!"
