Short-Short: 'Pink Blitzkrieg of Love: First Surprise Attack'

Pink Blitzkrieg of Love: First Surprise Attack

“Headquarters here, target confirmed. Waiting on the bench in front of the school gate.”
“Roger. Operation commencing now, over.”

I am Mirei. A military-otaku girl who has yet to have her first kiss with her boyfriend, Yuma.

Operation A: 'The Snack Ahh Surprise Attack'.
“Yuma, here, say ahh.”
“Huh? Suddenly? ...Thanks.”
Yuma opened his mouth, but said, “Let’s share,” and bit the cookie along with my finger.
—Counter-surprise! My face turned bright red, and it was a failure.

“Mirei here, Operation A failed. Next is B, 'Tactical Crawl'.
The moment I put my hands on the ground, Headquarters panicked.
『Stop! You’ll get your uniform dirty! Zero tactical value!』
“Shut up! Field Manual Chapter 3, Section 2: Close-quarters combat requires a low profile!”
I crawled desperately, but ended up covered in mud and was spotted by Yuma, tears welling up in my eyes.

“...Mirei here, second failure. Mission continuation is difficult...”
Yuma gave a wry smile.
“...Are you fighting a war or something?”
“Yes. The battlefield of love is always in a state of emergency...”
“You’re such an idiot. You don’t need a strategy. I would’ve done it if you’d just asked.”

Yuma leaned in, and our lips met.
The evening breeze rustled our uniforms.

『Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Operation failed, retreat! ...Wait, is this a success?』
The radio in my heart wouldn't stop.

Afterword

I participated in the weekly short-short note theme, 'First Surprise Attack'.

“First Surprise Attack”... surely this means “First Kiss,” right?
But wouldn't it also be interesting to write about a literal surprise attack...?
After much hesitation, I decided to just do both at once, which is how this short story was written.

A military-otaku girl carrying out her first kiss as a “mission”—once I started expanding on that idea, the concepts just kept coming and I couldn't stop.
That said, it’s a short-short, and with a constraint of around 410 characters, I had to tearfully cut nearly half of it.

Actually, I had even thought up to “Operation D,” and had prepared two friends who were also military otaku.
I hope to share those on another occasion.

Love and war are never simple, are they?
