"I'm not a good match for him," Miyabi stated softly. "He's incredibly handsome and excellent. He's not someone an ordinary girl like me can hope for."

"Don't say that," Yuuko chuckled. "You're quite beautiful, and the light novel you wrote received the Silver Award. Since you're both beautiful and talented, I don't think you can call yourself an ordinary girl anymore. Besides, it doesn't matter if you're ordinary or not when it comes to love."

As a member of adult society who isn't as young as she used to be, I recommend that you should be more proactive while you're still young. Otherwise, you'll be likely to regret things in the future." Yuuko paused for a moment. "For example, I've regretted multiple times about how I never confessed my love to the boy I secretly fell in love with in high school."
