Chapter 19:

Drama, Tears, and Alepou’s Heroic Entrance

Jikirukuto: Takoyuki Arc


Aight, imagine this as a diary vlog, okay? Picture me sittin' in my chair, one hand on the mic, and the other casually gesturing like, "Bruh, lemme tell you what went down today." Y'all aren't even gonna believe this.
So, Prince Gabrielle, yeah? My guy comes in like he's about to drop the hottest truth bomb of the century, voice sharp enough to cut through tension like he's slicin' pizza. "That's enough! In this city, we judge by actions, not appearances." And I'm over here like, Dang, okay Prince Hero, I see you!
And then Yuki—my girl's kinda stunned for a sec, but she recovers real quick. She hits back with, "Yeah, what he said! And for the record, I'm not a thief. But if you wanna play 'Whack-a-Noble,' I'm game." Like, she ain't scared at all. Lowkey, she's ready to throw hands.
Meanwhile, these nobles, bruh. They're out here lookin' like they just got hit with the ultimate side-eye. Crowd's feeling the drama, it's thick, like we're all just waitin' for someone to throw the first punch or whatever. You could feel the energy shift like, yo, something's about to pop off.
But then, Gabrielle—my guy, the prince—he starts lookin' unsure. Like, man's second-guessing his whole hero speech, and suddenly, Yuki's not feelin' it anymore. Next thing you know, she's got tears welling up, and I'm like, Oh no, don't do it, Yuki. Not the waterworks, not in front of the whole city!
BUT WAIT! Alepou, strutting in like she owns the damn scene, orange tracksuit and a bright yellow cape. She's lookin' like a superhero crossed with a fashion icon. Her hair's bouncing like she's got her own personal wind machine, you know what I mean?
She kneels down all dramatic, lifts Yuki's chin with a gloved hand, and goes, "Yo, Yuki! What's with the waterworks? You look like you're auditioning for a soap opera." 😂 Like, she's not even phased, just straight roasting her in front of everybody.
And Yuki, poor thing, she's barely keepin' it together. She points at the old dude still makin' a scene in the background, "That old geezer's causin' all this drama!" And now everyone's turning against her, and I'm sittin' here like, yo, this is some Shakespearean-level mess.
Alepou, though? She switches it up real quick. Concern's out the window, and now she's standing tall, ready to fight the world. She's like, "Oh, we're doing melodrama now? Bet. Let me show y'all what happens when you mess with my girl."
Prince Gabrielle? Man's still tryin' to be all regal. He clears his throat like, "We need to restore order. Any more drama, and y'all are gettin' benched." Like, chill, bro, we got this.
The nobles, feeling the shift in the room, just... quiet. That old dude? He's lookin' like he's seen a ghost, being dragged off by the guards. Like, RIP to your credibility, grandpa.
Yuki's still kinda shaken, but Alepou's there, and she's like a living hype machine. "Thanks for swoopin' in like a superhero," Yuki says, managing a smile. She's feelin' the vibes again, but still a lil' shook.
Alepou? She's all "What are friends for? Now let's bounce before these clowns make a comeback. And remember, when you're dealing with drama queens? Let 'em cook."
Yuki, blinkin' like, "Let them cook? You mean, like... dinner?"
And Alepou's just laughin', gives Yuki a playful nudge like, "Nah, sweetheart. I mean let 'em stew in their own nonsense. They'll dig their own graves while you sit back and watch the fireworks. It's like a whole comedy show, but they're the punchline." DANGGGG, that's some pro-level advice right there.
She turns to the crowd, real loud, "Lesson time! When a Karen, or in this case, some snobby noble, starts actin' up? Just let 'em rant. They're gonna make fools of themselves while you chill. No need to clap back—just let 'em self-destruct."
Prince Gabrielle's face? He's out here like, "I've never seen anything like that." Man's completely shook.
And Yuki? Now she's back to her usual self, flashin' that cheeky grin. "Stick with me, Your Highness, and you'll see a lot more. Now, let's grab some takoyaki before another noble decides I'm public enemy number one."
So yeah, they walk off into the sunset like it's the end of some superhero movie, and the crowd? Still sittin' there, processing what the heck just happened. The moral? Let 'em cook, let 'em stew, and enjoy the show, baby.
