Hey, y'all, welcome back! Had to take another break again yesterday…birthday party. Another thing, if any of y'all can find an English subbed version of the TLR Darkness 2nd OVA please can you let me know? Not being able to watch that has been driving me crazy. And, again, anything you want: review or PM. Anyways, let's go!
Disclaimer: I do not own the To LOVE-Ru franchise.
…
(Jack's POV)
So we finally made it to the Sainan Shrine, where the festival was held. As you could expect, there's a TON of people here, men mostly dressed in casual wear and women in their traditional dresses. Why did they make me dress up again? What a scam.
?: Hey, Yuuki-kun!
A girl yelled at Rito. I think I might have seen her around school the other day…
Rito: S-sairenji! *blushes*
Lala: Hi, Haruna!
Oh…so this is THAT Haruna…
Jack: *whispers* Hey, Momo, is that Rito's crush?
Momo: Yes, she is! Maybe we should leave them alone!
Wow. This harem thing still surprises me to no end…
Jack: Yeah, I guess…alright, y'all, I'm gonna walk around for a bit! Oh, sorry I didn't introduce myself. I'm Jack, nice to meet ya!
Haruna: H-hello! My name is Sairenji Haruna!
Jack: Alright, again, nice to meet ya! Anyways, I'll see y'all later!
So, Rito stayed with Haruna and…Lala (for some reason…well she seems to be friends with her), Momo seems to have walked into a…bush (my best guess is in order to spy on them…Jesus) and Nana walked off somewhere. So I was left on my own.
(A couple of minutes later)
Jack: *sniff* Oh, that's the smell of something sweet and fried…
I followed the smell to a small stand selling some sort of fish-shaped pastries, which smelled delicious to be honest.
Shopkeeper: Hello, my friend! Do you want a taiyaki? It's delicious!
Jack: Sure seems like it! Sure…how much will it be?
Shopkeeper: It will be one dollar for a whole bag of taiyaki!
Jack: Man, that's quite the bargain! Sure, here ya go! *hands one dollar*
Shopkeeper: Alright, wait here a second.
Yami: I see you also like taiyaki.
Jack: HOLY SH- You gotta stop doing that! And by the way, I ain't tried it yet, but it smelled delicious indeed!
Yami: I love taiyaki, it's the only thing I eat other than Mikan's cooking.
Jack: Oh, yeah, Mikan. Didn't you come here with her?
Yami: Yes, I did. But I told her I needed to do something, so she left to be with some of her friends.
Jack: Oh…and what might that something be? I hope it ain't spying on me!
Yami: *shocked* How did you know?
Jack: W-wait, I was joking! Good lord, do you have a problem with me or something?
Yami: I do not yet know. That's why I spy on you.
That makes a bit of (disturbing and incredibly creepy) sense, in a way.
Jack: Y-yeah, sure. Anyways, did you come here to buy some of this stuff too?
Shopkeeper: So, here you are! Enjoy your taiyaki, friend! So, is your girlfriend here gonna buy some too?
Okay, mental note: if you're alone with a girl in Japan, people WILL think she is your girlfriend.
Jack: She ain't my girlfriend…*whispers* thankfully
Yami: *blushes* Y-yes I do want to buy some *hands over money*
Shopkeeper: Okay, okay! Coming right up!
Jack: So…I'm kinda on my own here, so I guess we could hang out for a while. If you don't mind, of course.
Yami: Sorry, but I must get back to Mikan, she must be getting worried.
Shopkeeper: Here's you tayaki, miss!
Yami: Thanks. Goodbye.
Just like that, she was gone. Why does she have to be so deliberately enigmatic? I was hoping to ask her what she knew about that creepy woman too…ugh, whatever, someday.
Shopkeeper: Girls, huh?
Jack: I tell ya…
So I kept on walking around. I tried that taiyaki, and it was delicious! Such a sweet vanilla flavor, and let's be honest, anything tastes good when it's fried! Suddenly, I spot some sort of game stand, I guess I should check it out…
Jack: Hey, sir, excuse me. Is this some sort of game?
Shopkeeper: Sure is! What you gotta do is grab this dart gun here, and shoot these 50 paper cups, with one shot each, without missing
Jack: Well, I pride myself on being a pretty good shot…is there some sort of prize?
Shopkeeper: Oh, yeah, of course! The first to be able to win this game, gets the grand prize of 5000 dollars!
Jack: Wow, that's great! I assume no one's won yet?
Shopkeeper: No one's come even close! They might shoot the first three, or none at all in most cases. We Japanese are not used to being around guns after all, I can't even tell you how hard it was for me to find this dart gun! But a fine American man like you should do alright! Think you got what it takes? It's 50 dollars to play!
Jack: Well, it probably did cost you a bunch to set this up…whatever, might as well try! *hands 50 dollars*
Shopkeeper: Good luck, my friend!
Momo: Hey, Jack-san! You're gonna try this game?
Jack: Oh, hey, Momo! You done spying on poor Rito?
Momo: *giggles* You noticed that…yeah, well, I spotted a couple of VMC members close to where I was so I basically run off, and ended up here!
Jack: Yeah, that bunch of fools…anyways, yeah, I plan to take this on!
Momo: Well, good luck!
I grabbed the dart gun from the shopkeeper, and pointed to the leftmost paper cup, and…
Jack: *shoots* Got that one!
Rinse, repeat…second one, third one…tenth one
Shopkeeper: Wow, you weren't running your mouth! Still a long way to go, though!
Jack: Yeah! *shoots* Boom, one less to go!
Still going on…12th, 13th…20th…30th…40th…
Momo: Oh my, Jack-san! You're almost there!
Shopkeeper: Don't get complacent, kid!
Does this man wanna lose his money? Why is HE cheering me on? Oh, by the way, a decently large crowed formed behind me and Momo. I was becoming quite the attraction, it seems.
Jack: You kidding? *shoots* Complacency ain't my thing!
41st, 42nd, 43rd, 44th, 45th, 46th, 47th, 48th, 49th…
Spectator 1: Wow, he's down to the last one!
Spectator 2: He's so cool!
Spectator 3: I wish my boyfriend was cool like him…
Jack: Well, down to the last one…*takes aim*…*finger on the trigger*… *BOOM*…
And the last paper cup fell down to the ground, having been hit by the last dart! I won!
Jack: YEEHAW! I can't fucking believe it! I made it!
Crowd: *cheers* JACK! JACK! JACK!
Shopkeeper: Well, kid, as much as I don't wanna get rid of my money, you deserve it! Here you go, the grand prize! 5000 dollars!
Jack: Thank you very much, sir! I would do it again!
Shopkeeper: Oh no, I ain't a bank, boy! I can't afford you playing my game again! So, anyone else wanna try?
A bunch of men run up to the stand to play the game…probably to impress the girls, haha! Who knows, maybe even though he lost all that money, the poor shopkeeper might still make it all back!
Momo: Wow, Jack-san, you were great! Congratulations! How did you learn to shoot so well?
Jack: Something you pick up having your father take you to the range every weekend since you were six. He would sure be proud…
Momo: Come on, no time to be sad, Jack-san!
Nakajima: My lady, what are you doing with this man again?
These creeps again…
Jack: *in a posh British accent* "This man" who apparently has no name salutes you, my most honored member of the VMC! How shall I help you?
Nakajima: I was not talking to you, you pervert! You know very well what you want to do to my…OUR beloved Momo!
Momo: Nakajima-san!
Jack: Momo, you mind leaving this guy to me?
Momo: Fine…
Jack: Hey, buddy, you see that game over there? *points at the shooting game*
Nakajima: The shooting game? What's the problem?
Jack: I just won the grand prize on it. 50 small paper cups shot in a row, WITHOUT MISSING, by "this man". What do you say…I ask the good shopkeeper there to loan me that dart gun, have Momo here tie you up real nice against a tree, and get to practice shooting on a living target?
Momo: *giggles* That sounds fun, doesn't it, Nakajima-san?
Nakajima: W-what are you talking about! Momo, get away from this man, he will hurt you!
Jack: *gets really close to Nakajima* Listen to me, smartass. You keep pissing off Momo and myself, and I'm gonna have to give my little game a try. And I'll make sure to point between your legs, so you ain't ever gonna have the chance to use that "little guy" there. *laughs* Not like you ever were gonna use it already…but that will put it off the table for good. Do you like my plan? Or maybe you wanna leave us alone, and I'll give you a reprieve?
Nakajima: Y-you are much much scarier than Yuuki! Maybe I should harass him…sorry to bother you!
Jack: *grabs him* You didn't seem to listen correctly, punk. Leave Momo alone for good, if you love her as much as you say you do. No harassing Rito, or me, or her, or anyone. Go back to your little club, and fantasize about her all you want, but I ever as much as see you being a pain to Momo or ANY of her friends, and you and I will have a fun time!
Nakajima: Ah…AHHHH! *runs off*
Momo: Well…thanks! He and his friends were getting a bit annoying lately…you just really helped my plan, Jack-san!
Jack: It was nothing! Scaring off stupid punks like him has always been one of my favorite pastimes! I do wonder what you did to make them so obsessed, though…you didn't do anything naughty, now did ya? *laughs
Momo: Not that they know of…*giggles*
Jack: Haha, sorry, don't wanna know! Anyways, we better find the rest of the crew…oh, hey there's Rito! Wait…why is he running?
I noticed Rito was running from something…oh, running behind him was Yami, with her hair turned into a combination of knives, swords and fists, all directed towards Rito.
Yami: I hate ecchi!
Rito: I'm sorry!
He was also running full speed towards our position…
Jack: STOP-*CRASH*
Oh my Lord, that hurt!
Jack: *cough* *cough* Ugh…watch where you're going, Rito!
Rito: I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
Ok…just now I notice that as he fell, he somehow ended up with one of his hands on Momo's left breast, and his right hand on my…lesser region
Momo: Oh my, Rito-san, you're so bold…*blushes*
Jack: Okay, okay. Now I'm gonna ask you really nicely. Take your hand, put it in your pocket, and walk away.
Momo: Oh my, Jack-san, are you jealous?
Jack: RIGHT HAND, Momo! RIGHT HAND!
Momo: *giggles* Well, Rito-san, I didn't know you liked boys too!
Rito: W-WHAT? *looks to his right* Oh no, Jack, I'm really sorry! You too, Momo!
Yami: This man's perversion has truly reached the level of a superpower. I must finish him…
Jack: Okay, let me play devil's advocate here! How about you just torture him a bit, but don't kill him? Just killing him is too small a punishment, don't you think?
Yami: Hm…you're right, Jack Klein. I shall do that.
Momo: Hey, Yami, wait! You know he didn't do it on purpose, right?
Jack: Yeah, well, ask me too, because this time, he grabbed onto my balls!
Rito: I said I'm sorry! Next time we have dinner, I'll let you eat all of mine, I swear! Just don't let her do this!
Jack: Okay, Yami, you can release him. Not eating seems like a good enough punishment. Letting me eat double is enough of a bail out payment, too.
Yami: Very well. *releases Rito* By the way, Jack Klein, Doctor Mikado said you should meet her at her clinic tomorrow after school. Goodbye.
So…she left, again. Without explaining. Getting tired of that, to be honest.
Rito: Ugh…she was gonna kill me back there!
Jack: I doubt it. I would have killed you if she wasn't there, though, to be honest. Anyways, where's Lala and your friend?
Rito: Lala said they needed to talk in private…something about a confession? I didn't know Haruna liked someone…*sad face*
Jack: Hey, I know! In these kinds of situations is when a drink works best! Let's go find somewhere to buy some beer, and drink away all our problems! I'll buy!
Rito: Are you sure? Do you even have any money?
Momo: Oh, he didn't tell you. Jack-san won that shooting game there, and got 5000 dollars!
Jack: Yeah, I just need to set aside about 500 dollars to give back to your old man for that time I went shopping, and that's it! WAY more than enough left over for a few beers! What do you say? Momo, join us too! You seem like you could use a drink as well!
Nana: Hey, guys, here you are!
Mea: Hi, Rito-senpai, Jack-senpai! Does any of you want to lick me?
Rito: W-what are you talking about, Mea?
Jack: Yeah, that seems to be her pastime, asking people to lick her…anyways, these two can join us, I guess!
Rito: I didn't agree yet…
Nana: What are you talking about? What can we join?
I explained her about my winning the shooting game, and about my plan to have us all enjoy this beautiful summer evening by drinking a bunch of beer!
Mea: Oooh, that's that drink you said you liked! I wanna try it!
Nana: Wait, we can't do that! We're minors!
Momo: Oh my, Nana, calm down. It's normal for humans our age to try alcohol…besides Jack-san will buy it, so there will be no problem.
…...
Okay, end of chapter! I loved writing this! Jack showed his badass side for the first time on the series, and scared off that guy from the VMC! And next chapter seems like it will be even better…they're all gonna get drunk! Remember, aliens should react differently to alcohol than humans! Okay, not gonna spoil anything, so I'll shut up. Anyways, review or PM (as always), and see y'all later!
