Placing her cup of tea down, Mimi looked towards Emilia with a serious gaze. "I know it may be hard for you to believe what I'm saying. After all, I've broken your trust, and that's something that takes time to earn again. But..."

Pursing her lips together, Mimi averts her eyes and coughs.

"I hope we can start over. And this time you can get to know me as Mimi."

As Emilia watched Mimi's awkward expression and tone, she blinked her eyes dramatically, a faint smile forming on her face.

Lifting her chin, Emilia puffs out her cheeks with crossed arms.

"Well since you asked, I don't see why not." She harrumphed. "Besides, the fact that you've never had a friend before, I can't help but pity you. So just consider it as me committing a charitable deed and helping the pitiful."

Mimi's eyes darkened for a brief moment before a smile curled up on her rosy lips. Laughing softly, she nods her head.

"Excellent!"

A mischievous glint flashed through Mimi's eyes as she snickered and leaned close to the blonde beauty across from her.

"And this time I'll try even harder to make you fall in love with me."

Emilia was speechless. Almost immediately her face flushed red as a scowl settled on her face.

"Who fell in love with who? You must have imagined it! Like I'd ever fall in love with someone like you!" She glowed while averting her teasing purple eyes.

"Oh? Are you sure?" Mimi giggled mischievously. "If I'm not mistaken, we've already performed actions passed being friends."

Confused at first, Emilia begins recalling the time Mimi revealed her gender.

That's right, to her chest she...

Blushing even further, Emilia's brows twitch. "You...That wasn't my fault!"

"Is it not? My poor maidenhood was almost at risk there. How will you compensate me?" Mimi pouted pitifully.

Burning with embarrassment, Emilia points a trembling finger at her. "Shameless!"

"Only to you doll face," Mimi winked.

Feeling her heart skip a beat toward Mimi's seductive wink, she quickly turned her face away and pursed her lips.

Ah! It seems she was only worse as a girl! Her heart was even transmitting her mixed signals!

Who knew the two's friendship would be one no one would ever be able to forget...

After Mimi teased Emilia, the young girl quickly scurried out to leave the apartment. However, before leaving she stared at Mimi with a superior expression.

"This weekend, the two of us are going shopping. Because I'm such a good person, I'm giving a pitiful person like you the chance to experience shopping with a girl your age. Consider it our first outing as friends."

Mimi was taken aback and tilted her head. "Tomorrow?"

Noticing the girl's confused expression, Emilia's expression stiffens, a look of uncertainty and nervousness clouding her face.

"Ah, if you're busy that's fine...I was just asking."

Giggling, Mimi shakes her head and flashes a teasing smile. "No, I'm not busy. I'd love to go shopping with you!"

Inwardly sighing a breath of relief, Emilia quickly composes herself and crosses her arms.

"Of course you would. After all, who wouldn't want to shop with me, Emilia Yimo?"
