( closed ) this is how confessions work, right?
[ Today, Naegi Makoto made the decision to call Kirigiri out for something important. At least, it was important to him, anyway. He was nervous about going through with it, especially since this would probably be easy for someone who was known for her talent as a detective, but he also thought that maybe she'd appreciate his hard work.
So when he invites her over, he has a rather large rectangular table that has boxes of many different shapes and sizes, Naegi standing behind the table, gulping a little nervously before he warns her, carefully: ]
Ah... don't touch the boxes, Kirigiri-san. [ It's like a warning, even if it doesn't work out with the slight wavering of his voice. But he's trying! ] I know you're a really good detective, and I'm probably not that good at making puzzles like this myself, but--
I wanted to try something. I guess you can call it a deduction game? Um, anyway, I brought in twenty boxes. They're all different sizes and colors. One of the boxes has something that the other twenty don't. If you want to play, there's just a few rules you have to follow. The first is that you can't touch the box unless you've chosen it. The second is that while you can ask me any question and I'll answer truthfully, you're not allowed to ask me a question like "is this the box the item is in?" or anything that indicates which box hid the item. And the third is that you can ask up to thirty questions... although if you've figured out the answer, you can pick up the box and open it to see if you're right. Only one box has a good item while the other nineteen are duds.
[ That isn't to say that they're empty, however. ]
If you don't want to do it, Kirigiri-san, it's okay. We can do something else, instead. [ AT LEAST HE TRIED???? ]

[ His face is turning a beet red and he lowers his face to hide it. ]
T-Thank you, Kirigiri-san...
no subject
[ And yet he's signed up to date her. This... might be a bad idea. ]
no subject
[ Also known as: 'should he be concerned'? ]
no subject
[ so.... potentially he should be??? ]
no subject
[ Him? Okay, yes, he's definitely concerned. But not severely! ]
no subject
[ that's reassuring, right... ]
no subject
[ It's not helping, basically. ]
no subject
Then, should I be telling you to worry instead? That seems silly, Naegi-kun.
[ But, to avoid being completely mean: ] Still, it seems that we've gotten lucky today. Nothing terrible has come up after all.
