11:00 am
While the girls were walking to their third period class which was usually science but today was study hall (for Ms. Nakamura, the science teacher had been incapacitated once again in one of her many failed attempts to catch Nano), they happened to wander upon a crowd gathered around the windows looking outside the courtyard. "I wonder what's going on over there", Nano comtemplated. "I have no idea. We should go see.", Mio answered. The four girls ran over to where the crowd was. "Hey, what's going on here?", Yuuko asked. "Didn't you hear?", Tanaka, the boy with the afro, explained rather nonchalantly, "Apparently, a dear wandered into the courtyard again". "Principal Shinonome is trying to fight him off", Nakanojo, the boy with the mohawk, added, "I wonder who's going to win".
It was an appropriately epic battle of man versus beast. After failing to corral the deer with a lasso, the deer then gave the principal a kick from his front legs. This caused him to roll on the ground several times from the force before coming to a stop. The whole crowd gasped in shock. "Eeeehhh? What's going on?", Annaka, the girl with the huge red ribbon, sputtered. "Koucho!", Yuuko shouted. Principal Shinonome then climbed on top of the statue next to him. "Wow, he's still going!", Mio exclaimed. "Go! Go!", Weboshi and Fecchan cheered. He then jumped from the top attempting to land on top of the deer but instead landed on the dirt. "It looks like its a stalemate between the deer and my grandfather", Nano stated.
Just then the deer charged, jumped in the air, and headbutted the principal in the abdomen, causing blood to come out of his mouth as he fell on the ground. The whole crowd then gasped in horror. "Koucho! Koucho death!", Yuuko screamed. "Grandfather!", Nano shrieked. "Oh my god!", Mio shouted. But to everyone's astonishment, Principal Shinonome then got right back up a few seconds later. He then threw off his jacket, revealing a bulletproof vest. "Whaaaat?", Annaka shrieked. "He's still going!", Weboshi and Fecchan shouted. "Damn! Our principal is tough as nails.", Tanaka noted. "Hopefully, Principal Shinonome will finish the deer off now.", Nakanojou agreed.
They were right, as a few seconds later, the principal finished off the deer with a German suplex, which then sent the deer running back into the woods. The students then applauded and cheered which did not go unnoticed by Principal Shinonome who took a bow to the students. "Hooray!", Yuuko cheered. "Wonderful!", Nano squealed. "Well done!", Mio exclaimed. "Impressive", Mai noted, clapping her hands.
1:30 pm
Later on that day, in the school yard, Makoto, Ms. Sakurai's younger brother, and Mr. Takasaki, the Japanese teacher, were engaged in yet another Igo Soccer match. They even had a referee involved as well as witnesses, in the form of Kenzaburo and Yuria, the two founding members of the Igo Soccer club, who both looked on in awe. Makoto was standing on his hands and holding the ball in between his legs. Mr. Takasaki stood there with his right hand stretched out and his hand at a 90 degree angle.
"He told me to read the guide and I didn't and now I haven't a clue what is going on", Kenzaburo complained. "Even if you did read it, you still wouldn't understand", Ogi explained, appearing seemingly out of nowhere, "Both of them are cheating. Not only that, but the high-level atmosphere of their game could make this very dangerous". Both of the students next to him gasped as he concluded, "People could die. That's why I need to stop this before someone gets hurt".
With that, he charged, shouting, "FINAL RABUDO! OGI FORBIDDEN TECHNIQUE!". He then flew right under Makoto and Mr. Takasaki, much to Kenzaburo and Yukia's astonishment. As he crashed into the wall, the force caused both players to fall onto the pavement. Both men struggled to catch their breath. "Not bad, kid", Mr. Takasaki stated. "You as well, Sensei", Makoto agreed. They then stood up and shook each other's hand. "Unbelievable! I never gave this much thought when we started the club. Is this really happening?", Kenzaburo thought to himself
Content Warning: Here is where things start to get intense, folks. (Not to mention a little confusing for some). Just remember that in Nichijou, anything, and I do mean anything can happen.
3:30 pm
At exactly 3:30, the last bell rang signaling the end of the school day. As the girls exited, Yuuko cheered, "Woo-hoo! Christmas vacation! No school for two whole weeks!". Nano replied, "Now I'll be able to keep a better eye on Hakase", then noticing that Mio wasn't there, she asked, "By the way, where is Naganohara-san?". "Away on business", Mai told her. "Excuse me?", Nano asked. "What Mai-chan means to say is that Mio-chan said she had some important business to take care of", Yuuko explained.
Of course, what they didn't know was that Mio had actually challenged Misato, the red-haired tsundere (Extreme Type A), to a kendo duel. Why you ask? Well, Mio had seen Misato walking with Kojiro, the dude with glasses who rides a goat to school, as well as the boy that Mio is madly in love with. The problem was that Misato had feelings for him too, no matter how much she denied it or shot at him with her endless array of guns (don't worry, he can take it), it was still pretty obvious.
On the school roof, Mio and Misato faced each other with swords in hand. Two of the latter's classmates, Weboshi and Fecchan, were also on hand watching the whole encounter. "Tachibana! This ends now! Sasahara-sempai will be mine!", Mio yelled. "Think again, Naganohara! You're not taking Sasahara away from me!", Misato shouted. Both girls screamed an epic war cry as they charged towards each other with their blades drawn. This got the attention of the 3 girls on the ground. "What was that?", Nano wondered. "It came from the roof", Mai responded. "That sounded like Mio-chan. She must be on the roof!", Yuuko gasped, "Damn it! We need to get help!".
With that, the three girls ran inside to find a teacher. "Hey look there's Sakurai-sensei", Yuuko explained as they ran up the hallway, "Maybe she can help". She tapped Ms. Sakurai on the shoulder who then screamed in terror and held up her notebook to protect herself. "Sakurai-sensei. It's just us.", Nano assured her, "We need help. Naganohara-san is on the roof!". "What do you mean?", Ms. Sakurai wondered, "Is she in trouble?". "I don't know, but we need to find out!", Yuuko explained. The four girls then rushed up a central stairwell that would lead them to the rooftop.
Meanwhile, the showdown between Mio and Misato was heating up with astonishing speed. Remember when I said that in Nichijou anything can happen. Well, it is now. Misato had now resorted to firing a machine gun at Mio. "Eat lead, man stealer!", Misato screamed. Mio jumped up in the air, a blue battle aura surrounding her as she somersaulted and avoided each bullet. "Get a taste of my laser beams, fireball!", Mio shrieked as she fired a huge blue ball of energy from her hands.
Seeing Mio fire her lasers, Weboshi and Fecchan ran for cover. At the same time, Misato fired a big ass bazooka in Mio's direction. When the projectiles met, it caused a huge explosion that shook the building and sent both girls flying through the air. The two other girls emerged from a pile of rubble. "What just happened?", Fecchan asked. "Something big, that's all I know", Weboshi explained. At the same time, Mio and Misato emerged from their positions and charged at each other again with their weapons. "Oh god! Here they go again!", Weboshi shouted. "Quick! Hit the dirt!", Fecchan cried out. Both girls dived onto the ground and braced themselves for another hard impact.
At the same time, Yuuko, Nano, Mai, and Ms. Sakurai arrived on the roof. The teacher swung open the door leading to the roof. But another huge explosion nearly sent them falling down the stairs. "W-What was t-t-that?", Ms. Sakurai sputtered, clearly frightened. "I don't know, but whatever it was it was huge!", Yuuko exclaimed. They ran back into the fray where the four girls were, and were greeted by a huge pile of fire, smoke, and rubble. Upon seeing this, Ms. Sakurai finally put her foot down and scolded both Mio and Misato for causing so much damage. However, she wasn't really as mad as she was scared, and she got them to declare a temporary truce. With that, the two girls separated and went off.
Author's Notes:
Chapter completed on November 25, 2011
Apparently according to Episode 26, the principal's name is Shinonome.
Koucho - Japanese for principal.
Type A Tsundere - they generally have "tsun-tsun" (cold and harsh) as their default mood, but sometimes they have their "dere-dere" (warm and loving) moments. Misato had a MAJOR one in Episode 25.
