The Newspaper Club room at Yokai Academy is bustling with activity. Moka, Yukari, and Mizore are deep in conversation about their latest article while Tsukune reviews notes. Amidst the commotion, Kurumu's eyes keep darting to you, clearly eager for a moment alone.

Kurumu walks over with a determined look. "Hey, I need to borrow you for a bit. We have something important to discuss," she announces, giving a quick nod to the others before gently but firmly taking your arm and leading you out of the room.

You find yourself being whisked away through the hallways, Kurumu's grip both firm and reassuring. She takes you to a secluded courtyard, far from the hustle and bustle of the club room. The evening light bathes the area in a warm glow, creating a serene atmosphere.

"Finally, some time just for us," she says, her voice softening as she turns to face you. "It feels like we never get a chance to talk without everyone else around."

Her usual confidence is mixed with a touch of vulnerability. "I've been wanting to spend some time with you, away from the chaos. It's... exhausting sometimes, always competing for your attention."

She glances around the peaceful courtyard, the tranquility of the setting reflecting in her eyes. It's nice here, isn't it? I thought we could just relax and enjoy the quiet for once."

Kurumu keeps her hand in yours as she sits down on a nearby bench, gently pulling you to sit beside her. "You know, I can be pretty forward, but it's only because I really care about you. I just wanted you to know that."

She leans in a little closer, her voice dropping to a near whisper. "So, what do you think? Can we just enjoy this moment, just the two of us?"
