Just a quiet evening... Day 3/07...

By Daferge...


Looking over Lord Yosho's shoulder, Nobuyuki got a good view of the paperback cover...

" That looks like one of the outfits in last years Fredericks of Hollywood(1) catalog... "

All eyes in the room turn to him... A number of mouths were open...

What?

He smiled back...

" Do you want me to go see if I still have it?... I know I have this years... "

Yosho rubbed his forehead, trying to dis-spell the growing headache...

" Maybe later... "

This drew all eyes to him... He sighed...

" For reference... It may give us a clue as to who did this Manga... "

Several heads nodded, but a few eyebrows went up too...

" I wonder if The Royal Family has seen this? "

Sasami giggled...


Yosho turned to look at his youngest sister, who was trying her best not to giggle and failing...

Yosho sighed and raised an eyebrow... Sasami calmed herself and smiled...

" Earlier today as I was working in the kitchen, I heard Ayeka answer a call on the TV... I though I heard father ranting about something... "

She glanced at Tenchi...

" Then mother took over and said something that left Ayeka in shock... She didn't say anything later... "

She looked at the book... Then at Yosho... She now had an impish grin...

" I think the family knows... "


Yosho sighed...

" Ha!!... "

This drew every-ones attention to Kyone, who was glaring at Mihoshi, who was hiding behind Tenchi...

Yosho spoke up...

" Do you have something to say?... "

Kyone suddenly found herself the center of attention... She took a deep breath...

" It seems the Princess wasn't the only one... "

Once more raised eyebrows... Yosho sighed again, but smiled...

" Did you by any chance get your own book?... Kyone?... "

Kyone reached into her pack and pulled out a paperback, the same size as the princesses...

Mihoshi Kuramitsu of the Galaxy Police and her loyal partner Kyone...

On the cover was indeed Mihoshi and Kyone, back-to-back in G.P uniforms, but the uniforms seem to be painted on...

Sasami giggled, Yosho sighed, Nobuyuki grinned, Tenchi tried not to get a nosebleed, Ryoko struggled not to laugh, both Nagi and Ayeka was still out...

Kyone waved the book at Ryoko until she calmed down...

" Last issue she defeated the infamous villain Kagato... This issue she defeats the wicked Space Pirate Ryoko and wins the heart of the crown prince of Jurai, Prince Tenchi... "

" WHAT??... "

Ryoko grabbed the book and started searching through it... Glaring at Mihoshi, who was still hiding behind Tenchi... Tenchi had his eyes closed, slowly rubbing his forehead...

Nobuyuki tried to lighten the mood...

" Those uniforms look nice on you... "

Kyone started to say something, but Mihoshi spoke first...

" Really?... You should have seen the French Maid outfits we wore to sneak into the evil warlord fortress... "

" MI... HO... SHI... "

Mihoshi disappeared again... Behind Tenchi...


It was a while before any one spoke again... Lord Yosho had a question...

" Kyone?... You mentioned issues?... Issues with Kagato and Ryoko... Mihoshi mentioned the evil warlord... Just how many issues have there been?... "

Kyone took a deep breath...

" I understand it's a weekly publication and this is issue 14... But we didn't learn about it until we reported to Headquarters a few days ago... We were getting a lot of stares and winks as we reported in and were informed that the Lord Marshall wish to see us... It was there that we informed of the publication and asked what we knew about it... The GP tends to frown on officers 'Moonlighting' without permission... Even if it's in manga... "

Yosho raised an eyebrow...

" And the Marshall's reaction?... "

Kayone glanced at Mihoshi...

" Oddly enough, after being reassured we'd had no knowledge of the publication, we were told not to worry about it... Seems that since it's publication, enlistment into the GP has doubled and a number of law suits against the GP involving Mihoshi have been resolved if... "

Kyone looked at the floor... Yosho lifted her chin with his fingers...

" IF?... "

" If Mihoshi and I would autograph issues of the publication for them... "

It was quiet for a while...

"AND?... "

" We both signed copies of the French Maid issue before heading back here... "

Everyone was startled by Ryoko's hysterical laugh...


" This is why you two are my favorite GP officers... You just crack me up... "

Mihoshi grinned, but Kyone was steamed...

" What will you guys get into next?... "

She was interrupted by a pull on her sleeve... Looking down she discovered Ryo Ohki, in child form, smiling up at her... She was up holding Ryoko's opened package...

" MEOW!! "

" Something I should see?... "

Ryoko took the package, peeked inside and withdrew a familiar looking publication, only this one was titled...

RYOKO, SCOURGE OF THE SPACE-LANES... And her sidekick Nagi...

Ryoko was standing on a pile of bodies, a wicked smile on her face, very little in the way of intact clothing on... Nagi was leaning against Ryoko's leg, holding a gun in each hand also smiling wickedly... She seem to have more clothes than Ryoko...

As if sensing something Ryoko turned around...

Nagi was awake and from the glow in her eyes, not happy...
