Miyuki (finally) meets Suzuko!
“I-It’s nothing,” Miyuki said, but gently touched her hair while grimacing. “To be honest…I was teased a bit about my hair colour when I was younger. For some reason, I started thinking about those…unpleasant memories a bit.”
‘Teased a bit? Ha! That’s the understatement of the century.’
“Ah, but I love Takamina!” Miyuki said, eyes twinkling. “She’s so small and cuddly, almost like…Like a kitten that you want to protect?” She giggled at her own statement. “But…Being tall does have its disadvantages as well. If I could, I’d share my height with her.” She laughed, and subconsciously touched her hair again.
Did she get that tall using her magical powers?
Witch, witch, witch…
She blinked and shook her head, focusing back on Suzuko. “She was tall, but not this tall,” Miyuki said, rather somberly. “I mean, she was only 167cm…I’m…” She blushed, slightly embarrassed. “Uhh, I was 18- uhh, 178cm last time I checked.” That was a lie; she was actually 181 cm, hovering dangerously close to 6 feet tall. Whilst others lied about being taller, Miyuki had spent her entire life lying about being shorter.
Suzuko was fairly certain that Miyuki was trying to brush the whole thing off, and if she didn’t want to talk about it Suzuko wasn’t going to force her…still she felt a bit worried.
“Takamina-san….as a kitten.” She repeated, mulling it over. She giggled after a moment.
“That’s a very accurate description of Takamina-san. I’m sure she appreciates the sentiment at the least.” She had seen the girl requesting platforms for her boots the other day and the thought made her chuckle again.
Suzuko frowned a little as Miyuki stumbled over her height. She was certain Mikyui’s official height was larger then that.
“I see,” She mumbled, pulling her phone out to confirm the detail with the official record.
Miyuki glanced at what Suzuko was looking at, and desperately tried to cover it up. “Um, uhh…! The measurement was…Uhh…Off that day!” she said, making something up on the spot, then sighed and gave in. She was a terrible liar. “Okay, I’m 181cm…I just don’t like being so close to 6 feet tall.” She shuddered. “I mean…That’s kind of freak-ish for a girl, isn’t it? Not to mention that Akibastar, being Japanese and all…Well, the average height in my class for girls was around 155-160cm.”
She frowned. “Come to think of it, the average height for the boys was only around 165-170 too…” She blinked and shook her head as she tried to wipe the memories of being half a head taller than almost everyone in her class. “Not to mention that my physician said I might still be growing.” Her face looked pained for a second, as though she was imagining what it would be like if she grew even more.
'There must be a height limit or something for an idol, right?' she thought miserably to herself. 'I mean, there’s a limit to how cute someone can be when they’re a head taller than you.’
