Chapter 3: Artist meets mangaka
The incessant clapping swarmed the girl as she stood on the grand stage, her expression indifferent despite of the never-ending pairs of eyes fixated on her.
Slipping a sigh, she forced a smile, as natural as she could, to face the gigantic crowd.
Chants of her family name could be heard roaring within the prestige hall.
"Megurine! Megurine! Megurine!"
Ah, how she thirsted for someone to actually call her by her own name. To actually be recognized as Luka the artist instead of the daughter of the Megurine family who happened to be a gifted artist.
The chants ceased to end as it started to ring louder in her head. Louder, closer, the voice was almost tangible...
"Megurine! Wake uppppppppppppp~" The voice resonated. As she slowly fluttered her eyes open, she was greeted with a girl with an annoyed expression plastered on her small face.
"Oh my god. You've finally woke up and I was thinking that you had died in your sleep or something." The petite girl blabbered, flashing a sheepish smile as she continued to ramble.
"... Hatsune-sensei...?" The artist softly spoke, her voice full of hesitance and uncertainties.
"Eh...? Sensei? Me?" The girl said, the words that came out of her mouth felt foreign to her. She looked at the artist with disbelief, before casting the words away with her hand, shouting, "Megurine, are you okay? Are you like, going to die? Don't go into the light! Stay with me! Megurineeee!"
The girl blinked, she wasn't used to hearing a dramatic monologue immediately after she wakes up.
"It's okay. I will perform mouth-to-mouth resuscitation for you, even though it'll be my first but still, having my first to be from Megurine Luka is an honour from a low-life like myself! Unless you're a vampire that's going to suck my blood dry when my lips touches yours, then that's a different story. You're not a vampire are you? Oh my god, you look kind of pale. No. My Megurine Luka, why! I'm out of here!" The mangaka exclaimed before jumping away from the confused artist and running towards the door.
"You will never get my blood, creature of the night. Never! Goodbye! Sayonara! Hasta La Vista- Ouch!" the flustered tealette declared as she firmly gripped the door handle, but was knocked out by the sudden attack from the door.
"Ah. My bad." The girl said as she poked her head in, to see what had collided with the door.
"Pretty... Leeks..." Miku choked out before fainting.
"Was this a bad time?" The newcomer asked, poking the twitching body of the tealette.
"You have no idea what you've saved me from." Luka smiled, chuckling a little upon seeing the weird expression on the tealette's face and the very attractive pool of drool that had quickly appeared from the girl's mouth.
'Urgh... What happened?' Miku held her head, feeling a slight bump on it. She cringed a little from recalling the events that had happened before she had passed out.
Timidly, she opened her eyes and looked around, afraid that the pinkette might have dumped her body in a forest. Instead, a pleasant sound resounded within the four walls, along with the fragrant smell of leeks drifting about the room.
She looked for the source of the humming and the leeks, to see the target of her affection, humming while cooking. Oh, and wearing an apron, sadly, with clothes underneath it, clothing the voluptuous body.
'Ah damn it. I have to rely on my overly detailed imagination now.' She cursed mentally as her mind began to flutter somewhere else, perhaps out of this world and already ascending to heaven.
"Hmm~ Oh, Hatsune-sensei, you're awake~" The girl chirped and clasped her hands together, glad that the tealette had recovered. As she approached the still body, she could see a trickle of fresh blood oozing out of the girl's nostril. Panicking, she shook the girl, trying to get her back into this world.
"HA. I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING. I'M NOT A PERVERT. I DENY EVERYTHING." Miku declared as she snapped out of her imagination. Confused, she blinked, and saw a beauty in front of her, and in an apron.
"Ah. I must be dying~ For God to let me see a gorgeous woman that looks like Megurine Luka to be so close to me, I've lived a meaningful life." She continued on, blatantly oblivious of the concerned expression on Luka's face.
"Hatsune-sensei, snap out of it. Please!" Luka pleaded earnestly, shaking the girl more vigorously now.
"Ah~ That voice~ Huhuhu~" Miku giggled as she felt her body becoming lighter and a warm fuzzy feeling settling in her heart. However, she was rudely jolted out of her daze by a slap.
"Miku. Don't be a nuisance. Seriously, I can never leave you alone with her can't I." Lily sighed as she shook her head disapprovingly.
She forced a laugh as she looked away.
"Actually... I would like to be left alone with Hatsune-sensei now." Luka said.
"Eh?!" The two of them exclaimed in shock as they stared at the girl before heading to a corner and began to whisper to each other.
"Well... I was thinking of asking Hatsune-sensei to teach me the way of manga." She added on, ignoring the two's heated discussion in a corner.
"Manga?" The two replied in union as they stared wide-eyed at the pinkette.
"No no no no no no no! I am not worthy of teaching you anything!" Miku refused repeatedly as she bowed down.
"No no no no no no no no! I am the one who is not worthy of receiving your teaching but please, teach me master!" Luka replied as she too bowed down.
The two continued to blabber about them being unworthy of each other until Lily became annoyed and slammed their heads together.
"No... No... No?" The pinkette whispered as her consciousness seeped out of her body.
"Unworthy... Me... Luka... Boobs..." Miku said before fainting yet again.
"Urgh. Just get married already you two." The blonde grunted before leaving the couple alone.
