A/N: Hello Reader~san! How are you doing? Great I hope! Now, *cough cough* CONGRATULATIONS VEGETABLE~SAMA(If you are reading)
on being one game away from S Rank. YOU'RE AMAZING! (Well, I guess I got a bit excited hehe. OK, fine too excited.) Ok, now that I've finally calmed myself down... without further ado I present the third chapter of Squidtastic! (PS. I apologize for how short the last chapter was._
Nico scowled for the fifteenth time that day. They had been at a cafe all afternoon. Nozomi was still rambling on and on about that Egghead girl or whatever her name was.
"Would you please stop talking about that blondey for a second?!" Nico yelled in frustration. The other people in the cafe turned to stare at her. Nico covered her mouth in embarrassment.
"I'm sorry," Nozomi said earnestly. "What would you like to talk about? Your relationship with Maki for instance?" Nico's face blared red.
"Would you shut up!" Nico scowled, looking away in embarrassment.
"Oh, so you did do something with Maki!" Nozomi snickered and wiggled her eyebrows."Was it fun?"
"It was nothing like that!" Nico hissed, clearly frustrated. "It was just a date okay?" Nozomi sighed in disappointment. "Well, was it fun?"
Nico wrinkled her nose. "Absolutely not! All Maki did was grumble at me!"
"Did you at least take Maki out to dinner?" Nozomi asked.
Nico shook her head. "She left after lunch."
"Ouch, cold," Nozomi winced.
"Anyways I think I ought to go, my boss is gonna get mad at me," Nico said standing up hastily "Oh yeah, I already paid when we entered." Nozomi nodded and stood up.
Nozomi walked through the street, humming softly to herself. Nico hadn't changed at all since the last time she saw her.
"HEY PSST!" a familiar voice said. Nozomi whirled around. "UP HERE STUPID HUMAN!" the voice hissed. Nozomi looked up and saw the squid girl from earlier that week sitting up there.
"Oh hi," Nozomi said awkwardly.
"I know you have a thing for that blond squid girl," the squid girl said bluntly. Nozomi blinked. "I know how you can get her to like you."
"It wouldn't work, all she does is stare at her video game console all day," Nozomi said firmly.
"True, it is impossible to stop a squid from squidding about," the squid girl said thoughtfully.
"What do you mean?" Nozomi asked.
"Yoshiko!" a new voice sang from around the corner.
"Shit!" Squid girl muttered as she jumped down from the tree. "Human, all you need to do is ask that squid what's so fun about her video game."
"YOSHIKO!" the voice sang.
"Uh thanks, Yoshiko was it?" Nozomi said.
"YOHANE!" Yohane hissed, running down the street.
"Yoshiko~chan don't leave me!" the owner of the voice said running forwards. It was a girl with sandy brown hair. The girl panted and stopped to catch her breath. "Oh, um excuse me, but have you seen a girl in a squid outfit?" Nozomi pondered if she should tell the girl where Yohane went.
"Uh, I think she went into the bookshop across from here," Nozomi lied, pointing across the street.
"Thank you so much!" the girl said, running to the crosswalk. Nozomi sighed, and headed into the apartment building. She wondered what Yohane meant about squidding about.
When Nozomi entered the flat, she saw Eli lying on the ground with her switch in ha
"Um, what are you doing Elichi?" Nozomi asked.
"What does it look like?" Eli shot back. "I'm playing Splatoon,"
"Um, yeah I- I've been meaning to ask," Nozomi said, suddenly stuttered. "What's so fun about Splatoon?"
Eli immediately sat up. "It's amazing, the graphics are amazing, the gameplay is amazing!" Nozomi raised her eyebrows, Eli seemed to get really hyped up whenever Splatoon is mentioned. Over the past few days Nozomi had learned Eli's gaming habits. She would usually swear every fifteen seconds during a match. It was quite amusing. "Say why are you asking me anyway, are you planning on doing something?!" Eli said accusingly to Nozomi.
"Nah, I'm just curious," Nozomi said good naturedly. It seemed genuine to Eli.
"F-fine I can show you how to play," Eli said, her face heating up a bit. To be honest she had barely told anyone she knew that she played Splatoon. The only two people besides Nozomi who knew her gaming habits were her friends, Umi and Maki. Not that Maki would ever admit being friends with her. She scooched aside on the couch to allow Nozomi to sit down. "So… basically here are all the basic controls…." she began.
It had been a few minutes and Nozomi was starting to actually get the hang of the game. She thought it was probably purely just by luck. Eli was right, the graphics were amazing. Nozomi ran across the playing field, she was being pursued by an
octoling.
"Elichi, how do I get away from this thing?" Nozomi whined.
"You should have killed it before it noticed you," Eli said, shrugging. "Figure it out yourself."
Nozomi pouted. "Mou, Elichi's being mean to me!"
"Not like I really care," Eli rolled her eyes. Nozomi chuckled and went back to playing. The octoling ended up goring her much to her chagrin. She just decided to nuzzle up against Eli.
"Hey! Stop it you purple succubus!" Eli growled, attempting to nudge Nozomi off. "Do not taint me with your cultiness!"
"That's not even a word," Nozomi deadpanned while curling even closer to Eli's arm.
"Shut up," Eli grumbled as she took the controller from a very content Nozomi. She had an almost serene look on her face. Eli would have thought she was an angel if not for the fact that she kept muttering something about Eli wearing thigh highs. Eli's face reddened. "Creep," Eli muttered under her breath. Suddenly she felt something crawl up her chest. "The heck?!" Eli growled, trying to pry Nozomi's hands off her chest. When she finally got them off, Nozomi had taken to laying her head there. Eli screamed internally.
"So warm," Nozomi said, nuzzling Eli even more. Eli sighed, she wasn't going to be getting off the couch anytime soon.
