And now chapter 3 is up, sorry for the delay. To answer the question of the unchanged Kyon, the main idea was to keep him the same with only the rest of the world changed. I thought it would be a bit humorous on my part, partly because I think the character of Kyon is probably part jealousy and part sarcasm. It's funny when you look from the point of view of a normal person viewing an extremely fictional world in which anything can occur. Oh wait, that's already the plot of the original Haruhi series lol, that was stupid of me.
But don't worry. In the upcoming chapters I plan to make some stuff happen to him, so heads up. I plan to make this a 7 chapter story so it's plenty for adding more things too, not just things for him.
Once again, I don't own anything related to the subject of Haruhi Suzumiya. Please support to the official releases.
Happy reading! Advice and criticism is welcomed.
Chapter 3
So how is it that Haruhi never notices that she doesn't get paired with me, even if seen by other people as extraordinary coincidence? Nevertheless, it's a good thing I didn't get paired up with her this time, not that I usually would anyways.
Thanks to Nagato's manipulation, choosing a matching stick to Haruhi is impossible. But the one staying with her is a different thing, because the total amount of people in our group is 5, so there has to be a pair of 3 as well as 2. So, to make it a bit different this time rather than just choosing who goes with her, the time traveler, the esper, and the alien have an intense match of rock paper scissors.
Nagato and Koizumi have an advantage in this of scenario since they can hold their own poker faces, compared to Ms. Asahina. The match was actually over faster than I expected. Both Koizumi and Nagato seemed to have read Ms. Asahina's expression and chose scissors, the latter holding out a stretched open hand, representing paper.
"Uuhuu…", she whimpers.
"Well Ms. Asahina, unfortunately fate has it that you must accompany Suzumiya-san for the period of this day."
Koizumi says that with an even more unnaturally creepy smile. Nagato responds with shining glints of excitement in her eyes, geez Nagato you look like a person who just won a new high score in a game.
By the way, in order for this to all have happen, we all said we had to go to the bathroom in the cafe so that we could stay away from Haruhi finding out any suspicions about us. After the match, we all came through a way that did lead to the bathroom, but was not actually in it.
Haruhi had an annoyed expression on her face, sitting with her leg and her arms crossed and tapping on an arm with her finger.
"It's about time! What were you guys doing, a number 2?"
Well Haruhi, if it were me, I would rather have an agonizing moment of number 3 for half an hour then go through another world changing scenario. By the way, for those who might not know, number 3 to me is the rare event known as diarrhea, so read this with added risk would ya?
"We all just had a large amount of urine to give out, humans have to release when they have to.", I say.
"Whatever. Anyways, let's draw the matchups for today's pairings."
She takes out 5 sticks from her pocket. She tells us the usual explanation, one type of stick has a mark, the other doesn't, and that the bottoms are covered with a thin sheet of paper to avoid anyone seeing if it had a mark or not. She holds them out with her hand gripping them, prompting us to pick one up. As well all proceed to do so, Nagato mutters a command quietly, her mouth moving at a fast speed.
Once we all finish picking up our sticks, we show them to each other, the mark, if one had one, being on the bottom as we unwrapped them. As planned, Ms. Asahina had the only other marked stick along with Haruhi. Haruhi grins, hands on her hips as she proceeds to walk out of the cafe. As everyone else left, I unfortunately empty my wallet out again. What I would give to have a power to generate whatever I want.
After I finish paying the bill, I proceed to walk out and meet up with the others who were a short distance away. It's about time we discuss about this new world.
"Alright everyone, once we go off, search for any signs related to cat people or demons. Don't forget about the magical boys and girls too got it?"
"As you say, Suzumiya-san.", Koizumi responds.
"Good, initiate the operation! If I catch you guys slacking, it's a PENALTY!"
And with that, she walks off in the opposite direction, Ms. Asahina following her slightly behind. Well, we might as well go too. I wonder where though? Hmm, I feel like somewhere quiet, maybe the library? Nagato would probably like it, and Koizumi wouldn't mind either I guess.
"So, shall we head off as well? Nagato, do you want to go to the library again? You could get another book after we're done discussing the situation."
"Yes, let's!"
She says that with her animal ears perking up and her tailing waving back and forth. She looks a lot cuter with those features I have to admit. Koizumi just chuckles a bit. Well with the suggestion settled, off we went.
It takes around a good six minutes to reach the library. Once we get inside, we looked for an empty table further inside the facility and take a seat. Nagato sits next to me, eyeing some books a bit. I pat her head and say we can get some later. She pouts a little.
"Very well then, shall we discuss the topic at hand, Kyon-kun, Nagato-san?"
We both nod. Nagato proceeds to go back to her poker face as well as I.
"So, as you have may noticed by now, Ms. Suzumiya-san has altered this world yet again. This time she has manipulated the world's environmental aspects to allow the existence of other various life forms in which humans may have cut ties off to. For example, people with different DNA structures which give them the appearances of animal characteristics, as well as other physical and mental changes. And although some of these forms cannot exist along with other forms of life, either because of the effects those other lifeforms may have on one another, she manipulated those factors to be able to coexist somehow."
"So putting it short, she made it so that different types of anime characters can exist without putting one or the either in danger with each other?"
"Exactly. Understanding as ever Kyon-kun."
I scratch the back of my head, absorbing the information said my Koizumi. So basically, even though some of these people aren't meant to be with each other because of what they can do to each other, Haruhi made it so that they can, and she even made it so they fit in right with society as if it's perfectly normal. Well, I guess that sums it up, but then I look at Nagato, who looks like she wants to say something.
"Hm? What's up Nagato, is there more information to be said?"
"Yes. Continuing along with the explanation that Itsuki Koizumi said, Haruhi Suzumiya has made it so that multiple forms of life can co-exist with each other. As it may seem a positive idea, we must also take into account certain lifeforms."
"Certain lifeforms? What lifeforms are you talking about specifically?"
"Those who would pose a threat to the status of this planet. I assume that either one of you have witnessed a form of media that included some form of apocalyptic type of natural disaster or being?"
Both Koizumi and I nod our heads to answer Nagato's question.
"Taking into account the changes in data those events and individuals can create, I can conclude that those types of beings exist here on this planet, and that the possibility of either a supernatural or a natural disaster is possible to come to the planet as well. Haruhi Suzumiya yet again is unconscious of her data altering abilities, so her awareness of such an event may not come close to her attention unless the event directly involves and interacts with her on a global scale."
"Ok Nagato, sorry to say this, but can you simplify that please?"
She looks at me a bit, her feline ears twitching a bit. She blinks a few times.
"Simply put, because Haruhi Suzumiya allows multiple types of lifeforms to exist, and she allows certain planet changing events to happen as well, she unconsciously has put the planet in danger again."
As we discuss about the changes Haruhi has made to the world, time flies by. By the time we're finished, it would be around 20 minutes before we had to meet up with Haruhi and Ms. Asahina.
"Ok then, now that the topic at hand is dealt with, Nagato, why don't you and I go look for some books for a little bit?", I suggest.
Nagato perks up at the offer, nodding a few times.
"Well then, while you two are occupied with that, I must make a call to the Organization to discuss the situation with them. I'll let you guys know when I'm done.", Koizumi says.
And with that, we get up from our seats. Nagato and I start walking towards the bookshelves. I take a quick glance over my shoulder to look at Koizumi. He seems to have already initiated the call to his organization, and in his...attire. Nevermind that.
Anyways, Nagato and I approach the shelves. I look up at the ceiling to see which aisle we were in, and apparently we just happened to be in the psychology section, huh. I could tell Nagato was fascinated by the variety of books at her disposal because her tail was wagging like crazy, but I reminded her that we couldn't spend that much time looking since we had to regroup with Haruhi and Ms. Asahina. She acknowledges what I say, and quickly picks a few books. She seems to have picked up a book about human desires, a mystery novel. She also picked something about the things that cats like? Well, she is feline-like at the moment, I really should plot an activity to test out on her to see if she'll react in different ways. But nevertheless that time isn't now unfortunately.
"Well, I'm done with my call. Shall we head back?"
What the heck Koizumi. I get it that you're an esper, but does making you a Magical Boy give you the powers of telepathy?
"Not exactly, I can't dwell into people's minds. I can simply communicate with a person if I'm close and if I'm familiar with him or her. If you wanted to, you could voluntarily deny me access to your thoughts."
Duly noted.
And with that, Koizumi walks around the corner of a shelf to show himself to us. I give him an annoyed glare, but all he does is chuckle. I give a light sigh and turn myself back to Nagato, who was tugging on my blazer like a little child.
"Well, now that we're back, we might as well go and regroup, oh but let's go check out those books Nagato."
"Yes, please, let us do so.", she responds eagerly.
Well aren't you in a haste? Seems to me that the catifying of Nagato further increased her need for books. Though not in the annoying way, but more childish in a matter, and it was kind of adorable if you looked at it that way.
Coming back to the entrance of the library, we check out at the clerk, who just happened to be a psychic. When we ask him to check the books out, he grabbed them with his telekinesis and proceeded to scan the books for approval. He then hands them to Nagato.
"Those books are due in three weeks little lady, so take your time reading them."
"Yes, thank you very much.", Nagato says nodding slightly.
And with that we exit the library. Nagato is walking a bit tiptoed while embracing her books in a bear hug. Her ears are also perking as well as her tail wagging, she really likes books doesn't she? As we come towards the center where we usually meet up, we wait a minute and we then see Haruhi and Ms. Asahina in the distance. I checked my phone, the time was six p.m. Shortly after, they come a bit closer to talk.
"Alright Kyon, did you and the others find anything out?"
"If you call some weird guys posing in weird positions and uttering some random jumble, call me crazy but that's the best illustration of a Magical Person. Other than that, nothing basically. We searched through the alleys and everywhere else. If cat-people were anything like real cats, most likely they would be there, but since they weren't, it was just a dead end."
"Geh, I guess that's acceptable then for now. Very well then, this operation has ceased, you are all dismissed!", Haruhi commands.
Saying that, Haruhi takes a quick 180 turn and proceeds to walk home. Ms. Asahina walks up to us sighing a little.
"I've successfully completed the task of making sure Haruhi Suzumiya-san avoids meeting with any supernatural beings and sub-humans."
"Alright then. Catastrophe has been avoided for one more day. What should we do as of now?"
"For now, we should simply observe both Suzumiya-san as well as the world. I have colleagues who can tell me of any event that may be happening globally. Nagato-san, would you be so kind to go to Suzumiya-san's household and install surveillance devices?", Koizumi suggests.
"Affirmative. Kyon, I request that you come with me, is it alright?"
Hm? Me? What for? Well, I have nothing else better to do now, I guess I can go. It would be interesting to see how Nagato installs spytech without being noticed too.
"Sure, I don't mind. Let's get going then."
We begin walking away from Koizumi and Ms. Asahina, who were also walking away to go home. Actually, where does Haruhi even live? How does Nagato know? Well knowing her, she probably has GPS technology in her system, how convenient that would be.
Shortly after walking from the plaza, I see Haruhi in the distance. If she's walking, she either lives close, or takes a station, my bet's probably on the first thing though. I asked Nagato and she simply said that she does live close to school.
"We are nearing the vicinity of the Suzumiya household."
"Are we? Which one is it Nagato?"
She points to a beige brown-ish house that has a gate in the front. Well, at least she lives in a normal household...yeah right. By now I'm not even going to be remotely surprised by anything. But anyways, Haruhi goes through the gate and into her house. Nagato and I quietly go around near the entrance.
"So Nagato, what's the plan to get in?"
"Do not worry. I have a plan in mind for you. We just need to wait a bit."
"For what?"
"My sisters."
Eh.
And with that, I heard a blast of wind behind me. I quickly turn around, looking to see what was causing that disruption of sound. And I said that I wouldn't be surprised, but you can call me a lying buttface by now.
"What in the name of-"
WHOOSH!
I cover my eyes for a second with my arms. After a few seconds, I uncover my view to see a couple of...Nagatos? She did say sisters right? I didn't expect these kinds of sisters of all things… Wait. Sisters. She doesn't mean-...ooooooh. Those sisters.
"I see what you mean now Nagato. But these sisters aren't artificial clones with a third person speaking system are they?"
"No, we are not.", says one of the Nagatos.
"We are all the same, yet different in a way."
"Having the same core data, but visually different codes in appearance."
"So you're all Nagato, but with different looks basically? Do you also have different personalities as well?", I try to ask.
"That is correct. And indeed we do have different core personalities. To put it in words, the colors of our appearances and shapes of our bodies determine our emotional fronts."
So, getting this all together, the Sisters all have the same body as Nagato herself, but with different feline looks which reflect their personalities. I guess that's the gist of it.
Speaking of different feline features, I should probably go over how they all look like. Five other Nagatos were currently present. One had brown and white hair, a calico perhaps. Another had black hair like a panther, while another with golden brown symbolizing a lioness. And then there were the last two, a blue haired and a white haired Nagato. Why do those last two colors give me a picture of Nagato with angel wings flying around? Well nevermind, at least they all had the same expression.
"So then, how will you all be proceeding with securing Haruhi's house?"
"It is simple. We will simply sneak into the household."
"Sneak in? Well can't you already do that easily with just a single one of you?", I asked.
"In any other situation other than the current one taking place in the world right now, this method would prove to be unnecessary. Thus the need for a plan such of this is an ideal choice in the matter."
"Well if that's the case, then how'll we get in?"
And with that question, all the Nagatos' eyes glinted. Well now, it was already getting weird, so how are going to make this experience different for me compared to the other times Nagato?
It was then that I would soon come to regret that decision of allowing Nagato to pull a stunt plan.
Ok, this chapter may be a bit emphasizing on Nagato, but what can I say, she's my favorite character, well besides Kyon of course. Nevertheless, even though it's a bit fluffy, there isn't going to be any relationship establishments in this story. Maybe I'll make another story just for that, who knows?
Anyways, thanks for reading. The next part will probably be done in a few days.
