A/N: For some reason this chapter came out way too zetta short but whatever. I'm surprised I recieved reviews! 'D Why sankyuu my lovely reviewers! ...Somehow excluding the fact that I didn't notice the reviews until a just short few minutes ago. 'D Hee.
The sunlight glistened 'pon the buildings of Shibuya as the morning day broke into the time of noon. Many were hustling and bustling about--especially on early cold December morning. Of course, traffic was terrible as usual but none of most of the above mattered to one insane mathematical genius.
All that mattered to Sho Minamimoto was his calculations that he made to benefit only himself in the end. And this situation was no exception.
"Yes, radian, I need you to advertise this area all over the perimeter of Shibuya!"
Sho, as usual, stood behind the register of the Convenience store but this time was chatting it up with some unknown persona on his cellphone. He also seemed to be completely oblivious to the line of people standing, waiting for their items to be checked out. Needless to say, the poor people were annoyed to hell with Sho's obnoxiousness.
"Shut up and do it, radian!"
With that happy note Sho smiled, seemingly satisfied as he appeared to get the final word in the conversation before closing his red cellphone which he had done before turning, with a grin, towards the pissed-off customers.
"Alright radians, give me your fractions and decimals; I don't have all day so hurry up!"
Lethal glares (which he ignored) were thrown his way as the poo, verbally-abused people began to stack their items onto the counter. It was only a matter of time before Sho harassed each and every one of them for that half of yen or some other excuse, just because he could. After all, everyone there had to go there as the next store would be temporary out of commission for a while--in Sho's world, there was no such thing as competition.
As the 12-o' clock noon customers vacated the premises, for that time of the day--and the day itself--Sho marked the calender with a whopping '30'. He wore a self-assured smirked upon his lips, seeming to be completely confident in his success. But, he himself knew he was going to have to try harder to reach that goal...by any means necessary.
Then, he started to cackle as he came up with most devilish plan for his success; it was perfect, flawless, like his calculations--
"Uhh..."
Sho turned around, snapping quickly out of his evil plotting (tm) reverie, to see who made that pathetic attempt at getting attention (and yet it worked).
"Yeah."
Neku said, looking at him with a look of suspicion before placing his items onto the counter. Weirdo.
"1500 Yen, radian. What? If you want to know you better mind your business before I turn you into a tangent."
Then, as if realizing something, Neku slammed his hand with the yen onto the counter, the orange-haired youth yelling,
"You! It was you yesterday!"
The sun's rays flashed upon the street as the farmer walked across his farmland, wiping the sweat from his brow and saying,
"Ah, what a relief. My hard work wasn't in vain after all..."
Then a bird was shot dead from the sky.
Sho just stared at him like he had fish dumped on the top of his forehead (and before you ask, no, that wasn't from 2+2 = fish because it doesn't).
"What?"
"You heard me! You were the one who destroyed the store next door!"
Sho crossed his arms with a grin.
"If that's a new excuse you came up with not to pay...CRUNCH--"
"--Damnit, here's your Yen! And it wasn't an excuse, Pi-face!"
Neku yelled, stamping out of the store--he finally resolved he was going to find out what was going on...even if he had to wring some people's necks!
The bells with the skulls chimed when the door was slammed shut.

Somewhere far, far away, Joshua smirked and ordered he be fed grapes!

The door's bell chimed as the next customer--at about eight PM--entered the convenience store. This time, however, Sho was standing vigilant at the counter as he watched the anonymous person walk in. After all, he didn't feel like scheming behind the employee's door as it was getting late--that and the fact that he liked to go to bed at exactly 9:26:53 PM.
However, 15 minutes passed as he saw the customer duck in and out of the ailes to gather food. There was the local O-mart or those other flimsy stores for that!
"Hurry up, radian, I don't have much t for this."
Sho impatiently tapped his fingers on the counter before the customer came up to him with the many bags of items. As he muttered mathematical terms under his breath, he over to begin to check out the man's items. Then, he heard the click of a gun.
"What the f--"
"Don't move, kid."
Sho blinked.
"Look up, down, and around."
Stupidly, the person happened to look up, down, and around before Sho punched him in the face and literally slapped the gun out of the now-shocked perpetrator's hands--causing it to go off at the same time. Sho had come around from the counter, causing the man to get scared and run out the door...right into the police. As he was arrested on the spot, the tan-skinned male gave him the evil eye.
Then, after that mess, Sho decided it was time to call it a day and name another day in his victory.
