Sss, sss, sss! Well, "zero" is still a number, isn't it? So you were arguing over your lack of relationship status! Same thing!
What exactly did you both talk about? Obviously you must have put together something to say that calmed her down... y'know, keeping her from dragging you off, that is.
Listen here! We were arguing over who the hell told your little columnist we were ever interested in each other!
[ The worst part about this is the fact that Nonon has had reason outside any of this stupidity to wonder if she's attracted to Ryuko. ]
I don't understand why everyone is so interested in whether we were dating or not! W-Which we definitely aren't, alright!? She's just a friend and ally! Hell, for the last year or so we were enemies!
Nonon, Nonon, Nonon... take a deep breath! You've got it all wrong!
I don't care who you're dating or who you may not be attracted to! I'm just interested in reporting the facts!
--And here, the facts are that you were suddenly attacked by this Ryuko person, for reasons that seem to be about your relationship. Is this wrong? It happened in a public place! People witnessed it! That makes it a matter of the public record that the public deserves to know about. It'd be negligent not to print... something!
Tell me everything, start to finish. If I have enough details, I can better make decisions over what's newsworthy. If the whole "relationship" angle is just fluff, then it doesn't need to be mentioned.
There is no difference! You're still the one printing it, therefore it's still your fault people are even thinking of us as a couple!!
[ ...Are people thinking of them as a couple or are Ryuko and Nonon just hyper paranoid? Nonon being Nonon thinks everyone is waiting on the edge of their seats to find out.
Growling a little... she thinks about not answer... and then does anyway. ]
It wasn't about our relationship! It was about you printing that stupid gossip column! She was pissed at me, thinking I had something to do with it!!
[ Oh no, why won't her mouth stop? ]
She's a delinquent transfer student! Why would someone like me in the student council have a crush on her?! [ Yeah, that's totally not in a million different yuri mangas Nonon... ]
Well, technically, the column said nothing about you being a couple. It said this Ryuko had you in "her sights."
So let me see if I have this straight... you're the uptight, jacket top-buttoned, stickler for the rules member of the student council. Ryuko on the other hand is this delinquent transfer student who positively bursts into your life unexpectedly, upsetting the status quo and showing you a passion you've never seen before.
One that follows you all the way to Cerealia, even?
[ Everyone read it as them being a couple, she knows that. ]
S-She didn't burst into my life! She came to fight my best friend, the President of the Student Council, and daughter of the chairwoman; she ruled the entire school herself! I just stood in her way, it was my job as one of the Elite Four on the Student Council to make sure no one touched Satsuki-sama! Just because Matoi ended up being Satsuki's sister didn't change anything!
Well, sorry, I can only write corrections for what's actually said, not what isn't said. You're still welcome to write a letter to the editor.
So, Ryuko was a born troublemaker, the rejected half of a pair of siblings, the other whom you had already swore your devotion to? Sounds like there might be a jealousy angle. Any comment there?
W-Why the hell would she be jealous!? Never mind!! This is a stupid topic of conversation!!
[ She wasn't going to talk about Ryuko and Mako. No, even that would be farrr too much information and not something she thinks Ryuko would take well at all. ]
Just get it into your cardboard head, Ryuko and I aren't dating, and have no intention of it. I think I'd know if she liked me!
You know how it goes! Sibling rivalry: one sister gets all the attention, gets to be student council president, gets their own Elite Four...
So, you're saying Ryuko is so repulsed by you, that at reading the gossip column, she became enraged, and confronted you about it, as if you had written it?
"Nonon Jakuzure and Ryuko Matoi were seen having a brief fight at a local cafe. After a brief flare up, the situation was de-escalated and both were soon seen talking in a calm manner. Nonon Jakuzure has reported they have both been relocated to Cerealia from the same world and adjusting to daily life here has been 'weird.'"
Sss, sss, sss. I'm just a journalist. I report, you both decide!
Besides, anything this article says about this event would be the full unmitigated truth. Surely there's no problem with a newspaper printing the truth, now, is there?
It's hardly something worth reporting about, is it? There's a high school yakuza boss here, a girl who became a lawyer in highschool, or hell, even I'm a prodigal musician and I haven't even gone to graduated yet!! Why's my love life so important as news?!
[ Well, okay, yes, she does like being center of attention, and yes, Myriam did just all too easily win her over by calling her a celebrity, but the problem still stands that she doesn't know what she thinks of Ryuko. She's Satsuki's sister, and her gut instinct is that dating her is the stupidest thing in the world, but that doesn't actually make her feel any more at ease. ]
Celebrity or not, why would you think that I want who I may or may not be romantically interested in broadcast to the entire colony here?
...Though I guess I can thank you and your stupid coconspirator for not trying to say I had some kind of crush on a gross guy.
--You're missing the lede, Nonon. I'm not reporting on your love-life! I'm reporting on this violent outburst, in a public place, of which you were the victim? Kahk-kahk-kahk.
At any rate, I think I've got all the necessary information I need for this article: how's your own column coming along...?

There is no relationship status to argue over! We are not dating!!
[ ...They are living together in a one bedroom apartment though. But she isn't saying that, because they are lying low from Nui at the moment. ]

Re: audio;

She was just shocked as I was that people apparently think we are dating! I have more important things to do right now than kissing Matoi!
Re: audio;
So... you're not repulsed, but you're not attracted... you're just both... neutral?
Re: audio;
[ And yet since dancing with her, seeing her actually in a pretty dress, Nonon's been having strange thoughts. ]
Re: audio;
[pause]
--Okay, how's this?
"Nonon Jakuzure and Ryuko Matoi were seen having a brief fight at a local cafe. After a brief flare up, the situation was de-escalated and both were soon seen talking in a calm manner. Nonon Jakuzure has reported they have both been relocated to Cerealia from the same world and adjusting to daily life here has been 'weird.'"
...how's that sound? Kahk-kahk-kahk.
Re: audio;
[ Oh so now she's defensive about her relationship with Ryuko? ]
What's the point of even writing that? People are just going to ask more questions!!
Re: audio;
Re: audio;
[ Nonon's thinking this is a good strategy to get Myriam off her back. ]

It's coming. I'll send you the first draft in a little while. Don't worry, I never miss a deadline.
