Medusa

Gorgon's Bride

Medusa:
(sigh...)


Fujimaru 1:
What's wrong?


Fujimaru 2:
What's up?


Medusa:
Oh, Fujimaru. Actually...I was offered a chance for an arranged marriage...


Fujimaru 1:
Uh-huh...Wait, did you say arranged marriage!?


Fujimaru 2:
From whom!?


Medusa:
I have two older sisters, and they approached me about having a formal marriage interview.


Fujimaru 1:
O-Okay...


Fujimaru 2:
So who are you meeting?


Medusa:
Well, I don't think they're that serious about matchmaking.

Medusa:
I have a feeling that they're just interested in my reactions...


Fujimaru 1:
Can't you turn it down?


Fujimaru 2:
Let's turn it down!


Medusa:
Sure..., but my sisters gave me a condition for turning it down...

Mash:
...So, you and Senpai must pretend to be a couple.

Fou:
Fou...

Dr. Roman:
Hey, cheer up, Mash. It's just a performance, not like they're going to actually link their arms or kiss...

Dr. Roman:
Wait, maybe they should?
Unless they do, they won't be seen as a couple.

Mash:
...!

Medusa:
Uh, well, I don't know.
You know, I'm not used to that kind of stuff...

Mash:
...Whew.
Well, of course, not you of all people, Medusa.

Medusa:
I'm not really happy either that you felt so relieved...
I'm just not used to being in a relationship...

Medusa:
At any rate, I'm sorry, Fujimaru.
For making you go through the extra trouble.


Fujimaru 1:
[♂ I look forward to dating you. /♀️ Have you noticed that I'm a woman?}

Medusa:
[♂ Oh, me too. /♀️ Of course, but I don't mind actually...}


Mash:
...

Dr. Roman:
All right, let me shoot the video evidence.
You back me up, Mash.

Mash:
...Yes, understood.

Medusa:
Hehe, I enjoy doing stuff like this once in a while.
Though I'm sorry to trouble you.


Fujimaru 1:
You don't have to be sorry.


Fujimaru 2:
I'd rather be ready to enjoy it.


Medusa:
Really?
You have odd taste in things.

Mash:
...

Dr. Roman:
Now, now, Mash, it's high time you got over it.

Young Man:
Hey, lady. Look at your sexy body.
Why don't you hang out with us?

Medusa:
...? Fujimaru, who are they talking about?


Fujimaru 1:
They're talking to you, Medusa.


Fujimaru 2:
Hmm, this is so typical...


Young Man:
Heehee...I'm sure it'll be more fun to hang out with us than a kid like that.

Medusa:
I'm sorry, but I'm enjoying my time with Fujimaru right now.

Medusa:
I'd appreciate it if you could quickly disappear from my sight...

Young Man:
What the heck? What a snob...
Hey, you guys. Teach her a lesson!

Medusa:
...Well. I may be used to it, but the fact that it's the same as always gives me a headache.

Medusa:
I'm sorry, Fujimaru.
Give me a little time to take out some trash.

--BATTLE--:

Young Man:
Wh-What the hell...this woman...
D-Damn it!! Boss!! Call the Boss!!

Boss:
Let me see... Ha!
You can't even handle a woman and a few kids?

Young Man:
Yeah, but that woman's a "giant" with "crazy strength."

Medusa:
...(Humph)

Boss:
Tsk, letting a single woman have her way with you.
Well, I do agree that small and cute girls are better.

Boss:
I'd turn down a "giant" like that even if she asked me out.

Medusa:
...(Ticked)

Young Man:
Hehe! With our Boss here, we're not afraid of you any more!! Hey, guys!! Let's take her down!!

Medusa:
...Master.
May I go all-out?

Medusa:
No, I'm not angry, I'm really not...
It's just that my mystic eyes are aching.

Mash:
Senpai, let's back her up...!!
Oh, it looks like we don't need to do that.

--BATTLE--:

Boss:
?!?!?! (Freeze)

Young Man:
Whoa!? Boss turned to stone?
Dammit, I'm going to get you for this!

Medusa:
Whew... I lost my temper a little there.
Fujimaru, I apologize.


Fujimaru 1:
I don't mind.


Fujimaru 2:
It happens.


Medusa:
Hehe... you're a kind person.
I appreciate your concern.

Medusa:
Besides, you treat even someone like me like a normal person.

Medusa:
Anyone who approached me would turn to stone, their faces twisted in horror...

Mash:
Medusa...

Dr. Roman:
The monster Medusa... The Gorgon...
By the way, how do your sisters look...

Mash:
Doctor!

Medusa:
My sisters are very cute.
They are not at all violent, unlike me.


Fujimaru 1:
You're cute, too!


Fujimaru 2:
You're close with your sisters, huh?


Medusa:
!!!

Medusa:
...Thank you, Fujimaru.
I like being around you.

Medusa:
I'm inexperienced, but let's get along from now too.
