Maijima Private High School, Wednesday Morning.
It looked like another normal day. That's what the coming students in front of the gate expected.
However, for some reason almost half of the senior high students who already at school were gathering at the 3rd floor of their building, to be exact, the East School Building.
That was due to one of the room found completely in mess this morning.
The door could be found in the ground floor outside the building, seems like it was opened forcefully by a tremendous power. The inside of the room wasn't any better. The sofa was overturned and its outer layer was ripped, papers with notes were scattered and ripped everywhere, nothing was recognizable about the room. But fortunately, there were no victims inside.
Even Katsuragi Keima, who named himself as the god of conquest, couldn't help to concern about this incident. In the crowd in front of the room, he, his buddy, and his neighbor peeked into the room. Keima felt very uncomfortable by this. Because he had entered the room a countless time before to help a girl who had a runaway spirit in her heart's gap.
The room is the astronomy club's room.
"This is…"
"I hope you are okay…"
"Tsukiyo..." Keima said deep in thought, but expressed an uncomfortable face.
...
..
Tuesday Morning
...
Keima and Tenri walked to school together. Nothing could be heard between them. It was a total silent.
"Kami –samaa!" cried Elsie, her cute innocent face popping up in front of Keima.
"Don't yell at me every single time, you bug demon…!"
"It's because you left me while I took your bento at home!"
"I never tell you to go back home. It was your decision. I myself would be okay without a homemade bento," he said briefly while looking to a pile of papers on his hand, ignoring her "sister". Tenri, who walked beside him, accidentally peeked at the paper and noticed the content.
"Katsuragi –san…!" suddenly she pulled Keima's ear.
"OW! Tenri!? No… Diana? What's wrong with you –Ouch!"
"Nothing!" Diana hesitated, "Nothing at all!"
"Hmm? Somehow I felt like I have seen someone reacted to me that way…"
"Well, whatever," Keima continued his walk, forgetting what the goddess next to him just done to him. He looked very calm and collected as usual.
"I'm going to draw out at least one of your sisters today, so don't do anything weird, Diana."
"Really?" Diana looked at Keima, intrigued, "How?"
"What? Of course with this" Keima said as he showed Diana the papers in his hand only to make himself take the heaven's judgment once again as Diana smacked Keima across the face. In those scripts, shown a bunch of dialogue and lines Keima would use against his remaining targets: Ayumi, Yui, Tsukiyo, and Shiori. In other words, a lethal weapon to let them feel what love is once again.
(Just as I thought… I can't take it when I see Katsuragi-san flirt other women… Even though they are my sisters)
Diana was still piping at the thought of Keima's strategies, but calmed herself. She needed to think of Tenri first, not that insensitive man.
"Katsuragi-san? May I have a request?"
"What is it?"
"Please take care of Tenri as well… You are hers from the very beginning…" Where Diana would usually stare daggers, she looked at him softly, something that caught Keima off guard. He wondered what the goddess was thinking, but he came to his answer as quickly as he thought of the question.
Keima sighed. He clearly understood that Diana's power hasn't replenished much yet, so he threw a glance at her and stated, "I know…"
Keima sensed pressure in the air. He became increasingly aware of the situation that was unfolding around him, and he quickly knew he needed to get away from Diana or his situation would certainly get worse.
"Later!" Keima ran with Elsie to their classroom at top speed, something rarely seen performed by the Otamegane, except when he ran from Elsie's bento of horror.
Diana could only let out a sigh. She ran out of words to describe her anger against Keima.
At Class 2-B
"I wonder…"
"What is it, Kami nii sama?"
"Almost all students glared at me since we ran from Diana. Have they already caught on?"
"Ah, now that you mention it, Kami-nii-sama, usually they ignore you…
"But today… They are all looked so scary…
"Ah, look! It's Kanon-chan!"
"It's good to see her all right without scratch", Keima thought.
"Does this mean 'the hunter' didn't attack her?"
Keima and Kanon made a blink of an eye contact.
"….."
A secret lied within their eyes briefly and disappeared just as quick as Kanon broke the moment, a longing in her eyes and a blush painted on her face.
...
-Flashback—
Monday, 2 days before today.
On their way to the stair that led to a level below, Keima held Kanon's hand.
"Kanon," the god simply said.
"Let's make this a secret."
"Why, Keima-kun?" Kanon looked at him with hungry eyes, desiring the affection of the boy who changed her path. Keima, however, looked at her knowingly externally. Internally, however, he was calculating how he should handle this fragile situation. He had to take the best possible role with the idol to not only ensure her safety, but also have enough freedom seek out the other goddesses.
And secretly, he knew that the idol could give him a valuable advantage.
"It will be disastrous for an idol being too close to a certain boy," Keima answered seriously.
(Well, I believe Kanon won't be doing it though)
"And furthermore I…. I don't think the society would like to accept me...
(Act! I have to raise her love points!)
"Keima-kun, aren't you so modest?" Kanon smiled towards Keima, who's still holding her hand tightly. She then threw her eyes away, making a disappointed face, but yet was still smiling, "But I must admit that you are right, Keima-kun…" Kanon looked down.
"Let's keep this our secret, okay?"
"…Yeah"
"Oh. One more thing, Kanon…"
…..
..
-end of flashback—
Now there, Kanon is surrounded in the classroom by a lot of students.
"Kanon-chan?! Is it true that you really are going out with Otamegane?!"
"Yeah! I heard about that too!"
"Have you two known each other before?"
…..
"I believe I've told Kanon not to tell anyone about this."
"But why does this annoying rumors still wavering around?"
"No… We aren't like that… We are just classmates. That's all…" Kanon answered the questioning students with a smile, just like the way she normally answers questions in one of her talk show.
"But there are people who saw you walked together yesterday!"
"It… It's just a coincidence! We are heading to the very same class, remember?"
"Well…."
"Class is about to begin! Get back to your seat at once!" Suddenly Nikaido came into the class. A group of students which surrounded Kanon scattered as soon as they heard their teacher's howl. Nikaido is always firm to her students, except for Keima, who got great grades, despite his poor and uninterested attitude to every subject at school. She has grown tired of scolding him and decided to ignore him.
"Nikaido can be useful at a time like this" commented the god of conquest."
"For now, let's wait until lunch break. Then I shall start with my plan from there!"
"And my first target is…"
"Tsukiyo"
The bell rang. Lunchtime starts, as well as Keima's plan. He walked out of the class as soon as the latest teacher went off.
"The first time I met Tsukiyo was also around this time"
"She should be there now!" Keima said as he moved his legs to his favorite place, the rooftop.
He finally arrived at Maijima Private High School's rooftop.
And just like Keima had expected, Tsukiyo is there now, sitting on her usual observatory carpet and watching the moon together with her obedient doll, Luna. Keima boldly walked to where Tsukiyo is sitting then he stared at her.
"Tsukiyo…"
The blonde-haired girl responded to man who stand in front of her by giving him a cold glance.
"About yesterday, I'm sorry."
"…."
"She doesn't even flinch her eyebrows…?"
"You must be angry to me right?"
"…"
"Still no answer? Did Diana really detect that there is a goddess inside her?"
"Huh? Wait…"
"You are very angry after all…"
"What…? I don't know what you are talking about! I don't even know who you are! Get lost now!" She stared dagger at him. Unfortunately for her, the god wasn't fazed.
"He… Hey!" Tsukiyo yelled at Keima who suddenly sat beside her.
"When we first met, you were always blabbering about your own separated world."
"And the last time I saw you, you've already stopped putting the carpet down."
"But now, you are using it again." Keima pierced her gaze, shattering her only defense.
"So I think it is okay for me to assume that you are ang…" Keima said as he grated his sitting closer to the small blonde girl.
"Don't come near anymore, you beast!"
"GUHAH!" Keima got punched right in his face.
"…"
"You…!"
Tsukiyo's face was reddened and her breath could be heard. She couldn't contain her anger anymore. So she stood up and pointed at Keima, "Your ugly presence irritated me! I don't want to see your disgusting face ever again! BE GONE!"
"No! I want to speak with you, Tsukiyo!"
"…", with a hard sigh, Tsukiyo's expression was back to normal' calm yet beautiful. She looked at the God with hurt, yet longing eyes, bittersweet in every way. Keima couldn't help but ache, even though he knew what he was doing, at the almost defeated looking girl who sat next to him.
Later, she frowned and spoke, "You never came to see me after that… Yet why do you appear again right after acted all-sweet to a certain woman while I was there with Luna?"
"…I hate you."
"And I don't want to know the likes of you anymore!" She made one last attempt to spit venom at him. Keima retreated internally.
"She really is pissed off… She is angry, as angry as she can"
"Well, as a goddess container, she will have her memory about the conquest. It's only natural for her to be angry."
"However, this route is already under my calculation!"
"Tsukiyo, I want you to know that Kanon isn't anything special for me. She is just a classmate."
"Don't lie. I saw you holding hands and I heard the rumor about you going out with her."
"I don't care about the rumor. But I don't want you to misunderstand.
"I might act all lovey-dovey with her but that was nothing.
"It was all nothing compared to us…
"Huh?"
"What is this?! UAAAAAAAAGH!"
Keima yelled in pain. His body suddenly floated in the air and flied from the bench to a tree across them. Keima gasped and fell to the ground. He revived his train of thought, "Don't tell me…!"
"Ugh… that hurts…" Keima said as he tried to stand up. Keima felt another presence in the air, and came to a shocking realization.
"The hunter is around here and this is their power?"
"…" He gazed at Tsukiyo now, who is still sitting on the bench, folding both of her hands in front of her chest and closing both of her eyes. Her long blonde hair turned crimson red now. The conquering god also noticed a halo floating on Tsukiyo's head.
"No… It is not… This is…
"A goddess!"
Keima could see Tsukiyo's expressionless doll, Luna, floated in the air, as well as benches around her and Keima.
He also could hear a voice came from her, """THAT'S… IT."""
"""DON'T YOU DARE TAKE ON TSUKIYO AGAIN, YOU INSOLENT MAN!""" She said as she moved the benches to make a barricade around Keima. There is no way Keima could escape it.
"She seems to be able to control freely any other objects around her as her will" Keima analyzed calmly despite him facing a goddess.
"This will be troublesome"
"""I am Vulcan. A goddess from heaven who loves justice and tenderness."""
"""I am warning you."""
"""Do not. Ever. Come near Tsukiyo again!"""
Keima could only gulped in response to Vulcan's words.
"This is bad. This is certainly not in my calculation."
"On the important note, she can't keep continue using her power like this. You'll never know when the enemy would strike."
"But I can't bring out the subject of goddesses either!"
"Then what I should do now is… Talk to the host directly and re-conquer her!"
"TSUKIYO, CAN YOU HEAR ME!? I WANT TO TALK TO YOU!"
"""What a stubborn, insensible man not to be surprised even a little after seeing me"""
"Shut up, you damn doll! I need to talk to her! Get me out of here!" Keima pointed at the floating doll.
"""Tsukiyo said she is not willing to see you!"""
"""If you still want to see her, you must defeat me, a goddess, and get through!"""
"Damn it."
(There is no way I will let it end this way!)
Keima, from the back of the barricade, spoke,"…. Hey."
"""What is it!? I won't talk to you either! Just get lost at once, you disgusting man!"""
"I won't leave until I talk to Tsukiyo!"
"….."
There was a silent after that.
However, the silent is over as Keima saw Luna fell off to the floor.
"I… who would have been happy to left alone… Yet I let this heinous man…"
"I am ashamed of myself", she spoke to herself.
"I am sorry, Tsukiyo. It's just that… I had no choice."
"What do you mean?! How could you say such irresponsible words?"
By this point, Keima jumped through the benches barricade and threw his own body towards the moon girl, hugging her.
"I really had no choice."
"… eh…" Tsukiyo gasped. Her appearance and personality changed again.
"Muuuu…"
"KYAH!" Tsukiyo shrieked, reacting to Keima who advanced his head towards her. She pushed him away straightway. "What are you trying to do just now, you beast!"
"It's obvious, giving you a kiss!
"I need to show Tsukiyo my true intentions!" Keima declared to the moon child.
"And a kiss! A kiss is the ultimate move! Every galge must have a kissing scene, to turn around the greatest of sufferings to the greatest triumphs!"
"""YOU ARE SICK!"""
Vulcan suddenly took over Tsukiyo's body again and sent Keima back to the benches by pulling his shirt.
"""What an indecent man! You think a kiss will make up for your heinous crimes
"""If you try to kiss or embrace her again, I will give you divine punishment!"""
"...Punish me all you want"
"""What?!"""
"I've hurt Tsukiyo… Even now I'm not sure that I can guarantee I won't stop hurting her. I worth it…
"But please. Even just for now, please love me again!"
"""Be gone. NOW. Tsukiyo will not see you anymore."""
"If you do not… I won't be able to protect her anymore."
"""GO AWAY! Or I will drop this on your head!""" The goddess summoned another bench and hovered it over Keima. Keima did not waver, however, as he could already see the ending.
"Luna, stoooop!" Tsukiyo hugged her doll who is floating in front of her.
"Tsukiyo!"
"""Tsukiyo! What are you doing?!"""
...
..
...
"…Can I…?"
Tsukiyo's voice broke the silence.
"Can I really trust you, Keima?"
"I would prefer dying then failing to protect you!"
"….!" Tsukiyo attacked by her memories of her conquest. She gasped as she realized what was going to happen to the one who held such importance to her heart.
"You know that."
"Ke… Keima…"
Suddenly, the school bell rang. The fifth period is about to start.
"It's the school bell…" Keima both felt blessed and cursed at the sound of its ring. He wished he could have kissed her, but he also feared the interference of the goddess again.
Besides, he had more than enough future routes to keep her love points high enough.
"Let's go back to class, Tsukiyo."
"…." Tsukiyo blushed, couldn't say a word.
"Keima…"
"What is it, Tsukiyo?"
"Can you… accompany me to the astronomy club's room?"
"… What a child"
...
"I made it..."
"Now, shall I proceed to the next goddess?"
….
…
Back to Wednesday Morning
"Elsie."
"What, Kami nii-sama?"
"We'll skip class and looking for Tsukiyo"
"Alriiiiight!"
Keima and Elsie parted in front of the astronomy club room. Keima went downstairs.
"Tsukiyo must be was attacked by the hunter. So it was not an assassin who tried to assassinate an idol after all! They are hunting down the goddess!"
"Who are they?"
Keima went to the rooftop, hoping to see Tsukiyo.
He managed to guess correctly, but Keima could see that she is overtaken by Vulcan.
And she was in the midst of battle.
"Tsukiyo? No... Vulcan!"
"Katsuragi...?"
Keima ran to Vulcan whose body was hunched against a wall of benches. She sent more rounds of tiles and benches at her assailants, two black cloaked figures in the distance. They dodged every round thrown at them and were only getting closer to the goddess in question.
"Why are you hunching over? Are you hurt somewhere?"
"No… I haven't told you, have i?
"I am a powerless goddess. My eyesight is blurry, my hearing is bad and I can't walk.
"However, I can breathe a soul into an object, making them move as I will."
"Is that so? I'm grateful that you are okay
"So who is the opponent?" Keima turned his head from Vulcan to two black figures that fought her.
"I don't' know, but they are quite formidable."
"Let's leave, Vulcan."
Nevertheless, the figures, who are wearing a large robe that covered its body, took a step back as if they were going to leave too. Suddenly, a wind blew, bringing a strand of hair to Keima's foot.
"Huh? Could this be... the hunter's hair…?"
"This is impossible!"
"HEY!" Keima screamed to the figures but they already left.
"What's wrong, Katsuragi?"
"No… Nothing"
"It can't be right?"
"Haqua?"
….
