... What do you mean, "what if she doesn't"? Weren't you two already getting it on?
[ Maybe a.. slightly too broad wording (although Minako doesn't even necessarily mean it in that kind of way, it's just.. Minako..) but the sentiment behind it is at least pretty much the same. ]
[ The power of shamelessness will draw out everyone's secrets, obviously.. ]
"Different"? Come on, you're sounding like a couple in the middle of mid-life crisis therapy! This is supposed to be the spring of your youth, you need to enjoy it while it lasts! [ Sigh. Kids nowadays... ] You love her, right? Then that's it, no need to think too deeply about it!
[It's Natsuru's own fault, with the note she sent to Minako... but it's still surreal hearing Minako say such things so easily! Referring to her and Maizono as a couple... asking if she loves her...
... Does she? It definitely feels that way. And if she still feels it, maybe...]
Are you an idiot?! Don't tell me this year's Christmas miracle is your common sense disappearing! [ Then again, this isn't common sense at all, it's just.. Minako logic.. which is the exact opposite of common sense.. ]
[Without even going on a(nother) date first?! Isn't that rushing things too much?
... She's a little too preoccupied with her own thoughts to actually put all of that into words, though. Because they have kissed before, and... it's a nice, if confusing, memory...]
Of course just like that! If you guys like each other, then you should definitely be a couple and kiss..! Don't tell me there's some sort of Romeo and Juliet kind of story going on here.. Or, well, I guess in this case it would be more like Romea and Juliet... [ mumbled to herself. ]
The important point is that you shouldn't let anything hold you back!
[There's definitely something in particular that's holding her back, but she's not ready to talk about it yet. Maybe someday, with certain select people she's really close to. Possibly including Maizono?
But at least Minako's making her think about it right now.]
[ She answers it easily. Of course it's not that easy, and despite Minako's ditzy demeanour she knows that very well, even better than most people.
After all, there's plenty of things that are holding her back. The difference is just that she's voluntarily letting them do just that. ]
Come on, Natsuru-chan, have I ever given you bad advice? Life's too short to get all hung up on a few difficulties! You need to go for what you want to get and be happy.

[There she goes, admitting everything again! This Minako girl has super secret powers or something...!]
I-it's just... it seemed so nice at the time, but after Christmas, everything seemed... different...
[Not that her feelings changed, oh no. That's the confusing part. But her willingness to act on them went straight down to awkward again.]

Go up to where she is and kiss her!

[There's a bit of an awkward pause, but it seems like maybe Minako got through to her? With... Minako logic.]
I'll... do my best, then.
[It'll take her a while to figure out what exactly that is, but still! She's totally sincere about this!]
