A Friendship Ribbon?
Jacqueline: Ufufu, today Alexander-chama behaves very well nano ♪
Oscar: ……He’s been so quiet.
Jacqueline: Oscar-chama, Jacqueline wants to say thank you for letting Jacqueline play with Alexander-chama today nano.
Oscar: It’s not a big deal. I owe you a debt of gratitude for taking care of Alexander in other days.
More importantly, I’m impressed that you’re able to tame him after just a few days under your care. If you’ve any tips, please let me know.
Jacqueline: Understood! Oscar-chama, do you have a ribbon?
Oscar: Ribbon……oh, I think the Christmas present that I got from the citizen had a light blue ribbon on it. As I recall, it was around here……
Found it
Jacqueline: Then, put it on your head, Oscar-chama.
Oscar: ……Eh?
Jacqueline: Let Jacqueline tie the ribbon for Oscar-chama, Jacqueline is really good at it.
Oscar: N-No, wait a second……! If I’m wearing the ribbon, what does it have to do with Alexander’s pining for it?
Jacqueline: You see, Jacquline and Alexander-chama are good friends because Jacqueline wears a ribbon nano.
Oscar: ……Oh, that’s how is it?
Jacqueline: Jacqueline also put the ribbon on papa to see if Alexander-chama liked it. Alexander-chama didn’t even look at papa when papa wasn’t wearing his ribbon but when papa wore the ribbon, Alexander-chama suddenly became quiet and behaved like a good boy.
Oscar: How……
Jacqueline: If Oscar-chama wears the ribbon, maybe Oscar-chama surely can get along with Alexander-chama.
Oscar: ……I understand the logic. But I can’t do it.
Jacqueline: Why?
Oscar: Because the ribbon and me are not a good match.
(Even the bunny ears that I wore as a rookie didn’t turn out that well. Now the ribbon……)
(I can’t……just imagine it make me feel uneasy)
Jacqueline: Oscar-chama, don’t worry. There’s only Jacqueline and Alexander-chama here.
Oscar: Uh……
(Don’t get carried away……!)
(When thinking about it again, I’m still not sure. Why the ribbon……?)
Jacqueline: Jacqueline really want to see Oscar-chama and Alexander-chama get close • • •
Oscar: Uh!
(……Really? If I put the ribbon on my head, will Alexander really come closer to me?)
(Maybe I can try it once……)
(No way, be cool! No ribbon or anything for me……!)
…………
…………
But I’d really want to be close with Alexander……
Jacqueline: Jacqueline also tested on papa, it’s work nano ♪
Oscar: ……Alright. I wear it.
————
Jacqueline: How is it, Oscar-chama?
Oscar: Ah, it’s catastrophically ill-fitting……
(Still, this is nothing. The real matter is whether Alexander would be close to me or not……!)
Brad: Oscar, about the Christmas League on the others……day
Oscar: Uh……!?
Brad: …………
Oscar: Brad-sama……! This is not what you think, I’m just……!
(Worst timing ever……to be seen by Brad-sama of all people……!)
Brad: Are you playing with Jacqueline?
Jacqueline: Oscar-chama asked Jacqueline for tips on how to get along with Alexander-chama and the tip is that wearing the ribbon would be a good help for them to get along.
Oscar: I apologize for my unflattering appearance……
Jacqueline: But • • • Alexander-chama and Oscar-chama didn’t look that weird.
Ah, Jacqueline got it! Maybe because of the color. Papa also wore the red ribbon like Jacqueline’s, probably Oscar-chama wanted to wear red too—
Oscar: No, I’ve had enough…… That’s enough……
And I don’t have a red ribbon to begin with. Let me remove this—
Brad: If it’s a red ribbon, I have it.
Oscar: ! ?
Brad: It was a decoration from the present that I got from the citizens. You can use this if you need it.
Oscar: B-Brad-sama……
Brad: Still……by that logic, in order to be close with Alexander, you always need to wear the ribbon. Is that right, Jacqueline?
Jacqueline: Possibly nano • • •
Brad: If you want to know whether it’s work or not, you can try it. But is that so?
Oscar: It’s……not like that.
It’s not like I’m going to wear a red ribbon every time.
……I’m not think about it until now. Thank you for waking me up, Brad-sama.
Jacqueline: Jacqueline feel really sorry if it’s not helping nano • • •
Oscar: No, I’m grateful to Jacqueline as well. Thank you, you’ve taught me a good lesson.
Brad: If you want to try it, you can always try it. The red ribbon will always be here.
Oscar: What……B-Brad-sama?
Jacqueline: Whoa, please invite Jacqueline too when Oscar-chama wants to wear it! Jacqueline will wait for it~♪
Oscar: —! ?
