Chapter 3 - To The Nep-Mall!
Back again for more in which is the third chapter of this shenanigan of Nero's care taking adventure.
- Nero P.O.V -
"Laaaaame! Onii-Chan is too good in this gaaaame~!" Ram yelled after losing in a video game against me. After what happened morning was nothing too bad of a injury, just a huge scratch mark on my cheek. Rom was reading a picture she brought with her back from Lowee, she's been reading it while sitting on my laps and with my arms in front of her to keep her comfortable while reading.
"Onii-Chan~! Lets play again!" Ram yells again at me.
"Sure thing but your gonna loose again you know." I say to her as I press restart on the menu screen in the game and I smile at her and she pouts at me.
"You Ram, you shouldn't play with this perverted lolicon after what happened this morning." Abnes says while standing aside of us and me and Ram continued on playing games.
"Hey dummy! If Onii-Chan says its a misunderstanding then its a misunderstanding you big big dummy!" Ram yells at Abnes while playing the game.
"Hmph! Do what you want then!" Abnes yells then storms off to the kitchen.
I sigh and continues on beating Ram in the game until we get seriously bored of it and Rom continued along with reading in my laps. An hour has passed by and Ram gave up due to her loosing so many times about 200 times at least though. Abnes hasn't came out of the kitchen too for some reason, I think that shes doing some cooking but just taking forever to do so...
"Hmm, wonder what is Abnes is doing now in this passed hour...?" I say wondering about it.
"Why are you worried about that dummy Onii-Chan!?" Ram says as she hugs me by the sides.
"Nero...? Want to check on her...?" Rom says while she finished her book and puts it away.
"Hey~ Hey~ Onii-Chan, since she's being a big meany to you, why don't you pull a prank on her~?" Ram says to me giving me an idea of one.
"Now that you think about it, she has been annoying to me personally. So I guess I can do this just once buuut..." I say and Rom and Ram get curious about what I'm about to say.
"I'll be the one planning this out hehehe..." I grinned and open a hologram with my hands showing random unidentified in the screen which the girls can't read.
Abnes finally arrive back from the kitchen and notice me alone watching the news in the Nepstation, I look at her with quite a serious look. She walks closer to me and sit on the couch behind me and looked through the book that Rom was reading.
"Hey Lolicon, wheres Rom and Ram?" Abnes says as she flips through the pages.
"They left with Histoire for some shopping right now." I say while I turn up the sound on the television. I make a shocked up and Abnes looked at the television.
"A unknown virus has hit the four nations by storm, the effect within this virus is to those who are infected with uncontrollably tickle they're victims till death, to spot the people who are infected will have dark grey skin and they'll twitch around with they're bodies, so to the people outside please quickly go home this instant before the virus infects you." The news reporter says.
"Hey Abnes, mind if you get me a pudding pack but make sure its doesn't says 'Nep's Pudding' on it." I say to Abnes.
"Hey!? What about Rom, Ram and Histoire!? they're still outside!" She yells at me.
"Hey don't worry, they're are now inside the basilicom right now so please get a pudding pack?" I say to her which got her convinced and left to the kitchen with a hmph. Abnes arrive back with a spoon and a pudding pack and she notice me a little different.
"L-Lolicon...?" She says while getting a little closer to me and saw my head twitched and looked at her with a dark gray face.
"Heh" I look at her with dull dark purple eyes and had my hands out prepared to tickle her to the death. She dropped the pudding pack after realizing that I've became the thing in the news report and ran to my room or currently Rom and Ram's room and hide in the closet.
"H-How did the lolicon became what the news reporter said, m-m-maybe if I stay here long enough he'll-" Abnes thinks out loud until she felt a touch from both sides.
"Tickle Tickle~..."
Tickle... Tickle..."
Appeared Rom and Ram who were also somehow infected by the virus. Abnes screamed and leaped out of the closet and ran straight for the door, once opening the door I was in front of her behind the door and so we all cornered Abnes and got closer and closer repeating tickle. I start to notice that Abnes is about to have her mind explode and fainted.
"Okay I thinks that is enough now..." I say dropping the act.
"Meeh! It was fun while last!" Ram says
"A-Abnes...?" Rom says while looking at Abnes who is apparently foaming from the mouth.
"Ehh...? Maybe we got to far on this prank Onii-Chan...?" Ram says little disgusted by the sight.
"Guess we did..." I say trying to get Abnes back to herself.
After our little prank on Abnes, things went smoothly now. I finally got Abnes to stop calling me a Lolicon or a pervert even though we did that to her out of fear but I do what I can to make people understand better even if it results to force... I'm in the middle of cooking food for the girls to eat but I don't think that Abnes will eat with us because well you know why... Rom and Ram are drawing on scrap paper and Abnes well... she's sitting on our couch all huffy and puffy about the prank, I plan to make a call to Neptune to see what she's been doing at her vacation geez I think I need to use a vacation more then Neptune... After finishing with the preparations for the food, I placed them down on the table and called the girls over to eat in which they did, I went to Neptune's room and made the call there. I picked up my phone and began calling Neptune... With the intelligences she has currently, I don't think she'll be able to- Oh she picked up.
"Heeello~! Your all favorite main character is here!" Neptune yells from the other side of the phone.
"Okay stop the self introduction yelling..." I say to her while regaining some of my hearing back.
"Ahahah Sorry Nero so whats up?" She says to me
"Eh... nothing really, just want to check on ya' that was all." I say to her while laying down on her bed.
"Ohh~! Is our only male CPU perhaps worried? Pfft-" Neptune begins to laugh at me getting the misunderstanding.
"Its not like that you air head!" I yell at her over the phone.
"Well to answer my boys question, I'm doing fine here, having a lot of fun here. There are water parks and everything here!" She says about the place she's in, guessing a resort? How should I know, they didn't tell me anything!?
"Gee seems really fun for you guys..." I say in a sadden and sarcastic manner.
"Aww don't worry Nero, once we come back we might plan for another week out and we'll bring you along too!" Neptune says which slightly got my hopes up. I had to hang up now, its soon for me to bring the girls to the Nep Mall to play some arcades.
"Well anyways Neptune, I gotta hang up now." I say to her.
"Aww okay then, your taking the girls somewhere?" She asks me.
"That would be the case." I say to her while scratching my head.
"Okay~! Guess you call later?" She says
"That will be a maybe, depends what I'm doing." I say to her as I leave out of her room.
"Okay buddy, talk to ya' later!" She says then she hangs up and I sigh.
"Well another afternoon of fun with the girls." I say putting on my jacket and my shoes. I walk back to the living room and saw Rom and Ram drawing again and looked back to the table and the foods on the plates were empty.
"Okay Rom, Ram and Abnes?" I call to them and they pop they're heads up to look at me.
"We'll be going to the Nep Mall to play at the arcades, sounds fun?" I say to them and notice Rom and Ram with bright smile well Rom is trying... and so they speared me into the stomach and I was probably out for a good minute.
"Yaay~! Nep Mall~! Nep Mall~!" Ram sings out those words as she skips her way to the Nep center to make our confusion go away, its pretty much a huge building which is a half arcade and half shopping mall. You can thank that to Neptune herself...
"Now you know how it feels to be hurt badly huh? Nero?" Abnes says with a smirk on her face.
"Hey we hurt you mentally and they hurt me psychically so we're completely different on many level Abnes." I say.
"Nero...? How close are we...?" Rom asks me.
"Oh we're should be close, you should be able to see a giant building up ahead." I answer while point up ahead to see a giant building in front of us.
"Onii-Chan~! Over there?" Ram yell to us while pointing at the Nep Mall.
"Thats the place Ram." I say to her with a smile.
Ram runs up to me and jesters me to praise her with a pat on the head and so I did, seeing Ram happy by the head pat Rom wanted to be petted too and so I do the same to Rom. Abnes stood at the back with a angry look on her face and ran up to me pushed my hands away from the girls by flailing her arms around like crazy.
"A-Abnes!?" I say to her a little scared of her outburst. She heavily breathed and looked at me.
"You can pet the girls when I'm gone, GOT IT!?" She yells.
"G-Got it..." I say to her while scratching my head.
We entered the Nep Mall and I followed Rom and Ram along since they were leading the way around the Mall. I normally go here with Neptune and Nepgear on break time or in Neptune's case, all the time. The arcades is the top half of this building and the shopping mall is the bottom half in which is where we are right now. Rom and Ram stopped by a store of anime goodies.
"Onii-Chan! look! look! Can we look around here!?" Ram says while grabbing onto my hand and pulls me into the store.
We went on our own way around the store because I told them to meet each other outside when we're done. I went over to the figure section of the store and saw many high quality figures around until I saw something that got my interest in a instant. It was a figure of me in a butler outfit and another me just in my normal clothing.
"Wait since when I wore a butler outfit before, I don't even remember if I did. Did Noire put on a butler outfit in middle of my sleep?" I say to myself.
I kept walking around to got to the manga section and saw Rom there also. I walk closer to her and she notices me going to her.
"Rom...? What are you reading." I say to her, I just don't her to read another 18+ doujin again.
"Its a manga about a young boy who used to live in the real world but then he died, he woken up sitting on a chair in front of a goddess with blue hair. The goddess ask him this "If you were to go a world of fantasies, what will you bring along with you?" the boy then replied "You." and then the boy and the goddess were sent to that world and must defeat a dark lord who will end the world." Rom says slightly interest about the manga. To me honestly sounded like something that Blanc would write but funny thing is it isn't! Heh sucks to be you Blanc.
"Sounds interesting Rom, here how about I buy it for you?" I say to her.
"R-Really!?" Rom says with a smile.
Me and Rom went to counter to buy the Manga for Rom but behind the counter I saw someone familiar. Someone with short brown hair a blue vest, wait a second...
"Falcom!?" I yell.
"E-Eh Sheeesh!" She puts her finger on her lips telling me to quiet down.
"W-What are you doing here?" I whisper to her.
"I work here as a part time job, a adventurer needs money sometimes you know." She says to me and she then notices Rom beside and Ram appearing later.
"What are you doing with the CPU candidate of Lowee." She asks.
"Onii-Chan is taking care of us while Blanc is away!" Ram says.
"O-Onii-Chan!?" She yells in surprise.
"Yea... long story..." I say with a sigh.
"Anyways Falcom, me and the girls are heading to the arcades upstairs, want to tag along?" I ask her but she shook her head.
"My shift doesn't until it hits nighttime, sorry Nero although I would have taken your offer but..." She says to me with a sad look on her face.
"Its okay Falcom, well good luck on her later adventures and this job too.. Oh- You better tell me some of your adventures sometimes?" I say to her while leaving the store with the girls.
"Ah- I will, when I got the time!" Falcom yells to me while waving good bye.
After our encounter with Falcom. We took the elevator to the arcades at the top floors. The door opens and we walk out and saw a bunch of arcade machine everywhere in the area, Rom and Ram ran off to start playing on the machine and I stood close to them because its dark in here and I can loose them here if I'm not too careful. Rom walked to a crane game, she looked over to a plushie of a yellow mouse which had a lightning bolt as a tail. Rom pushed the start button and start playing but the thing is... she was too small to reach the controls, I tried to hold in my laughter but had it under control now.
"Here Rom let me help you." I say that as I pick her up for her to use the controls.
"E-Eh, umm thank you..." Rom says a little embarrassed in the way I'm holding her up.
Rom moved the claw under the mouse and she pressed the button to let down the claw to grab the plushie and lifts it up but sadly it drops on the edge of the hole and it wasn't dropping inside but outside. I don't Rom to be sad because of this so I have to use this.
"Time Break!" Gamindustri freezes at my will and I open a small Time-Space crack big enough to teleport the plushie inside and the plushie drops down and appears in my hands and I reverse the time stop.
"N-Nero? We got it..? I-I thought it was gonna drop..?" Rom says in confusion about me having the plushie in my hands.
"Hehe Guess you were seeing things but that doesn't matter now, well here you go Rom." I say to her as I hand the plushie to her.
"Ehehe T-Thank you Nero~" She says while she hugs me. I saw Ram in front of us with a bag ton of prizes in her hands.
"And I see you were busy Ram?" I say to her as she walks up to me.
"Thats right Onii-Chan now praise me again." She says to me and I pat her head.
"This place is a lot of fun Nero, Ill stay here for a little bit!" Abnes says while playing on one of the machines.
"Okay then Abnes, well its getting late now. Lets go home Rom and Ram." I say to them and they nod, so we make our way home.
Upon arriving home I open the door and in a flash of my eyes, a large paper fan slams into my face and a real loud slap to my forehead and my cheeks. I look at the person who smacked me with the paper fan, it was Histoire who hit me with it she was really angry about something.
"You people are late! What exactly were you doing Nero!?" Histoire yells at me.
"We went to the Nep Mall and I was a little too caught up in the arcades." I say that but I moved forward into time by mistake, it was exactly 1 PM and then it was 7 PM right now. I laugh it off for a bit and got another smack to the face again.
"Anyway then, Nero please prepare dinner okay?" Histoire says and a sudden stomach growls filled a sudden silences.
"Your hungry Histoire?" I ask her and she then nods.
I finished cooking the food for Histoire and for the twins and also for myself too. I placed the plates down on the table for them, we all sat down and started eating. After we all finished eating I took all the dishes and left them in the sink so I can clean them tomorrow. The girls left to my room to sleep and Histoire was in the Share Crystal room for a quick check and after that she'll go to bed and sleep for today. I walked to my room and was about to open the door and saw Ram poking my back.
"Something Ram?" I ask her.
"M-Me and Rom can't sleep. S-So... can you read us a Manga till we fall asleep?" Ram says to me while holding the book behind her back.
"Sure thing Ram." I say while we walk to my room and I sat between Rom and Ram and I swore I saw Ram snickered about something.
"Here you Onii-Chan." She says with a devious smile but hiding that over a normal smile.
"S-Sure, Wait a second!" I took the book from Ram's hand and saw a book she bought at the store and it had... the 18+ sign on the bottom on the book, I look at Ram who was snickering and then burst into a laugh. My eyes twitch in anger and...
"RAAAAAAAAAAM!"
