Chapter 2: Improvement~An Exhausted Protagonist~

After dinner, Rito requested that I'd stay for the night.

"I haven't seen you in a long time, we gotta catch up." He said.

I couldn't refuse. Mikado wouldn't mind if I stayed at Rito's place for a day or two. Besides, I still had a score to settle with him. Over the years, I've played every single game and practiced every moves so I might finally beat him.

And so without hesitation, I installed the console in the living room and challenged Rito to a duel.

"You won't beat me this time!" I said.

The first round began. He did the first move, but I managed to dodge it. It was my chance to hit. I used all the moves and tactics possible, and all he ever did was guard.

"Wow, you're good!" he said.

"Of course I am! I've been practicing!"

He let his guard down, and it gave me a chance to hit back. I came in combo to combo, and with one last punch, it was K.O. for him.

"Yes! I beat Rito for the first time!"

"Damn..." he said, "Let's go again!"

So we played another round, but he still lost. Then we played another, but he still lost.

"How could you beat me consecutively?" he whispered to himself.

I answered, "You always do the same moves. I was able to analyze your moves and used it against you."

Then Lala got in the middle and asked Rito if he could play, "I'll avenge you!"

So we played a round, but I immediately won. The reason being that she was just guarding.

"Eh?! How come I lost?!" she said.

"...Maybe because you hardly attacked me..."

Then Momo stood up and took the controller. Then she looked at me with her dark eyes and said, "...You'll pay for embarrassing Rito and Onee-chan..."

For some reason, it got me excited, "Bring it on!"

And so the round had begun. I tried to analyze her moves, but she changed tactic before I could. She attacked me head on and all I could do was guard. Eventually, my guard broke and she fought me with everything she got. I lost in the end.

"I want a rematch!"

"Of course! I'd like to see you in despair once again."

And so we played another round. This time, I was able to analyze her moves. I waited for the right time and gave her the strongest punch I could inflict. She was paralyzed, it was my opportunity to finish it. I gave it my all and I somehow managed to defeat her.

"...You're good, but I won't lose to you!" she said.

"Oh, bring it on!"

We played for hours, everybody else was asleep except me and Momo. We stopped playing once we noticed that it was past midnight already.

"~yawn~ I should probably go to sleep..."

"I should too..." she said.

So I went to Rito's room and slept on the futon that was lying on the floor. Just as I was about to go to sleep, I heard footsteps coming from outside.

I hid inside my blanket and covered myself, only to find out it was Momo.

"What were you doing outside? Scratch that, Why are you here?"

She didn't answer, nor did she give her attention to me. It was like she was in a trance or something.

She began walking to Rito's bed. She passed by me and acted as if I wasn't there. Then she tucked herself with Rito's blanket and lay behind him.

She said with a faint voice, "Rito-san... You're so cute when you're asleep..."

I couldn't sleep. Her voice was so stimulating that somehow it got me aroused.

"Hey, can you keep it down?" I asked her, but again, she ignored me.

Then she let out soft moans. "...n-no...s-stop..."

I tried to ignore it, but her moans got louder and louder that it made it harder for me to sleep.

"R-Rito, t-that's not... a marshmallow..."

I got so irritated. So I grabbed the blanket and pulled it down. However, instead of grabbing the blanket, I accidentally grabber her tail.

"HYAAA!". She jumped and fell on the floor, with her breasts lying on my face. My vision was completely covered.

I tapped her and requested that she would get off me.

"Y-you're exposing your..."

She stood up and run to the wall.

"...D-did you touch it...?" she asked.

"What are you talking about?! You fell on top of me by accident!".

I kept my cool and asked, "What are you even doing here?"

She looked at her surroundings and asked, "What am I doing in Rito's room?"

"Don't lie!" I said, "You obviously know!"

She sighed and replied, "Okay, you got me."

She stood up and jumped back to Rito's bed. "Since I'm here, I might as well sleep beside Rito!"

I got pissed off so much that I grabbed her tail once more and told her to leave the room.

She jumped and screamed, "GYAAAA!"

"D-don't shout! Everyone will hear you!"

"I-I'm sorry..." she said, "Just please... let go... of my tail..."

I did what she asked; I let go of her tail. Then after she got her strength back, she sat down on the bed and offered me a deal: "If you let me sleep beside Rito-kun for the night, I'll leave him alone next time..."

It was a nice offer, but I refused it because I couldn't trust her.

"Denied!" I responded, "You can't fool me!"

After hearing my answer, she started pouting, which I founded really adorable. I couldn't help giving in to her.

"Fine, you can sleep here..."

Her sad face disappeared and turned into a happy face.

"...But I'm gonna watch over you, all night if I have to!"

She smirked and asked, "Isn't it disrespectful for a guy to stare at a girl while she's asleep?"

"Isn't it illegal to sexually harass a sleeping boy while he's asleep?"

"...Good point..." she replied.

I watched over Rito and her as they were sleeping. I was feeling a little drowsy, but I had to watch over them just in case "something" happens.

Before I knew it, it was morning. They were able to sleep peacefully, but I never even got a chance to take a small nap. My eyebugs were darker than before and my throat was very dry.

Rito was the first one to wake up. He leaned on his right and saw Momo lying beside her.

"H-how did she get into my room?!" he said.

"Don't worry..." I said with a weak and frail voice (due to not being able to sleep), "She didn't do anything to you... I guarded her..."

He looked at me and asked, "Hey, are you okay?"

I told him that I was fine even though I wasn't.

"Why don't you take a nap. You look tired." He said.

"B-but... we were supposed to hang out today..."

"Well, we can't do that if you're like that. Just take a nap already."

He had a point. I didn't want to be a bother for him, so I did what he asked and took a nap.

Then I suddenly realized that Momo was still asleep. I immediately stood up and went back to watching her.

Rito suddenly asked me when I stood up, "Is there a reason why you keep staring at Momo?"

"Yes. She's lewd, and I hate lewd stuff."

Rito was very concerned about me, but I couldn't just leave Momo unguarded.

"Seriously..." He said, "She won't do anything. She's asleep."

He was right. She couldn't do anything to Rito now that he's awake. It made me calm down a bit, and eventually, I fell asleep without even realizing it.

Then when I woke up, I saw myself nibbling on Momo's tail.

She was moaning and begging to let her tail go, "Please... N-not my tail..."

Surprised, I jumped out of the futon ran downstairs.

Lala greeted me a good morning, "Good morning, Yume! Have you eaten breakfast yet?"

Then I suddenly remembered that I haven't taken a bath ever since I got here, so I skipped breakfast and asked Mikan if I could take a bath.

"Sure!" she said, "The bath's ready!"

And so I took a bath. I washed my whole body and dipped myself in the bathtub.

"~~~Ahhhh~~~This feels good~"

I suddenly felt something moving in between my legs. Then from out of nowhere, a girl with red hair appeared.

"Huh? You're not Rito-san." She said.

And just when I thought things couldn't get any stranger...


"H-huh?! Who are you?!"

"Are you referring to me?"

"Yeah I'm referring to you!"

"Well, you'll just have to find out in the next chapter!"

"Next on To Love Ru Alternate: Embarrassment ~The Three Sisters~"

"No, seriously, who are you?"

"I'm a sea monster!"

"You're obviously not!"
