Dirty Talk/Three Brats/June 17th, 2021/Warn Emilia

I want to at least warn Emilia before we go ahead with this, but I need to think about how to approach that. I don't want to be too forward or she might tip off her friends. I'll try calling her in a bit. For now I'm curious what Daniel is thinking...

We've already spent so much time going up and down this beach, I was sure someone would notice our marks by now. I suppose I should be thankful. It feels so dangerous to be out in the open like this that part of me doesn't want to be noticed! But even if nothing happens I do understand why these two keep doing it. My heart is racing! It sure is exciting walking around and brazenly showing off your star!

Still... I'll wait until those sunbathers are out of earshot before I mention anything...

I can't believe no one has approached us yet! There are lots of people on the beach.

They're mostly tourists. They likely have no idea what our marks mean.

That's true! I had a vacationing family ask me about mine at the beach a few weeks ago.

Really? You never told me about that! What did you tell them?

*giggle* That if they wanted to know they should take me somewhere private and find out!

S-seriously?

No! I'm kidding! I just told them it was something that some of the kids here did, like a special club. A way that some of us find friends.

Okay, that's not so bad.

That's what you think! The mom and dad told their kids that they should try wearing one around town for a bit, to see if they could make friends with someone too!

Milka! You know you can't trick people! You could get yourself in trouble!

I didn't do anything! But if those kids happened to start wearing stars because they saw mine then I was just doing my part to help keep Kostikki satisfied!

Hmph. Speaking of satisfied, I think I'm done with the beach for now. Maybe we should head into town for a bit?

Aw, but I've barely shown off my sexy bathing suit!♪

You mean you haven't been able to take off your bathing suit yet!

You could still wear it in town if you wanted.

I would draw a lot of attention, wouldn't I? Maybe that's a good idea...

Well we're back at Lover's Beach already so if we're going to go back into town we shou ~ Huh? Is your phone ringing Emilia?

Oh! It is! I left it here with my clothes... Mom? H-hello?

Emilia, this is the third time I've called! Why haven't you answered?

I'm with Heidi and Milka! We were just hanging out at the beach an-

See, that's the problem. I've been meaning to speak to you about them.

Really! Right now?

If it could wait I wouldn't have called you.

Everything okay Emilia?

Yeah! Of course! Just give me a minute.

You don't get any more minutes! We are going to talk about this now.

No! Augh! I wasn't talking to YOU! I was just walking away. *sigh* Now what is it? They're waiting. We want to go back to town.

This attitude. You're spending far too much time with those girls.

Of course I have! They're my friends!

Emilia, you hardly even know them. You only just met and they've already been a bad influence on you.

W-what do you mean?

Where do I start? You broke curfew on purpose. You've refused to answer your phone. And now you're sneaking off to the beach without even letting me know what you're up to? I try to be fair Emilia, but I do not like this pattern of behavior.

That's a relief! I was worried she might know more than that.

But I haven't even done anything! We were only just walking around to, um... go for a walk.

Well I think that you should walk home.

Why?!

Because I don't want you hanging around those girls right now. They're going to get you into trouble.

No they won't!

Trust me. You have no idea.

And what if I want to get into trouble?

Excuse me?

We're only having fun, mom! I'm not going to leave them! This isn't like the city. There aren't any other kids to play with! You want to take away the only friends I have? You're just being stupid!

This sort of behavior. This is what I was talking about. I expect you home in the nex-

We can talk about this later!

Oh no... Did I really just hang up on my mom? But... but she was being stupid! This is so unfair! She's never asked about Sven's friends before! Heidi and Milka have been so nice to me, showing me around and... I should get back to them.

Hey! Was that really your mom?

Are you sure everything's okay?

Emilia could tell them it was her brother on the phone

• Emilia lies to her friends so they can all go to town

Or she could tell them that her mom doesn't trust them

• Emilia warns her friends which gets them thinking
