CH 2: Hiromu is a chicken
Usada was so busy looking at new amusement park brochures that he forgot to remind Youko of her packed sweets while she goes out to shop. For a super human like Usami Youko, she needs her daily dose of carbohydrates—otherwise she'll collapse. Usada tried to ring her morphin brace but apparently Youko kept it hidden inside her bag eversince she and Hiromu haven't been communicating with each other recently.
Although she's not going to use it, Youko was looking for mobile phones. She was having fun looking at yellow clamp shell phones that resemble her buddyroid, Usada. The saleslady noticed that Youko was muttering "Usada!" many times while pointing at yellow phones.
"May I help you?" the saleslady asked
"oh. I'm looking for a good phone. Would you recommend something to me?" Youko asked
Since the saleslady was too observant that Youko liked yellow, she took out a clamp shell and a 4.5" phone of her desired color. Youko couldn't help admiring both phones.
The saleslady took the rectangular one (with the 4.5" display) and showed it to Youko. Youko knew that salespersons would usually ask the personality of the mobile phone user. When Youko asked what's so special about the phone, the saleslady answered, "it's easy to use and the interface is capacitive. About it's features, it's too honest."
Youko bit her lip when she heard the word, "honest". For her, honest = Hiromu. And HIromu = siscon. She left the store with the clamp shell phone in her hand.
Meanwhile Hiromu was busy dropping by at mobile phone stores using his super human speed. A minute wouldn't pass by without Hiromu looking at his morphin brace. Apparently, his buddyroid told him that Usada forgot to remind Youko of her sweets. Hiromu kept ringing Youko's morphin brace, but she's not answering. Gorisaki, Ryuji's buddyroid had been informed also. He and Ryuji used their afternoon break to look for Youko.
Youko was tinkering with her new phone when suddenly Hiromu appeared. Youko's eyes rounded in surprise. When Youko did this, Hiromu looked straightly at the ground and his vision caught a view of a mobile phone.
"You bought a phone?" Hiromu asked
Youko nodded.
Hiromu replied quickly, "But you, Ryu-san and I use the morphin brace for that purpose".
Pause.
"Oh," Hiromu said slowly, "so you're communicating with other people now.-Good for you"
Youko bit her lip, "what kind of people are you talking about?"
"like the person who gave you that yellow box weeks ago" Hiromu said without hesitation
Youko frowned, "that's none of your business!" She marched off but her stomach let out a growl. She fell with her face flat on the ground.
When Hiromu saw that Youko was out of carbohydrates, he crouched down quickly and offered her a chocolate bar. "He smiled at her, "You made Usada worry"
Youko puffed her cheeks when Hiromu was nearing the chocolate bar to her face. She was hesitant at first to accept help from a person who just offended her. But her weak point was her top priority so she took a huge bite from the treat. When she was finished, she helped herself up and brushed away the dust from her clothes.
When she caught his glance, both at them looked away. Youko said out aloud, "chicken!" Hiromu froze in an instant.
Youko was so amused at Hiromu's weak point that she had to laugh so hard. She used to do the trick in the past when Hiromu's being too honest. To force again another trick, she grabbed her phone and took a picture of him in his frozen state. Youko stuck out her tongue and said afterward, "I can use this after all!" (referring to the phone)
