So...
Blanc, Ram, Rom, Noire and Uni left back to their nation as they (excluding Ram and Rom) had work to do.
They couldn't leave their Oracles to do everything anyways.
We were left with Vert, who joined our gaming session by taking forcefully Linda's controller.
The girl knew better than to attack a CPU so she just went with it and doodled on her phone.
Good thing was, she brought snacks and drinks for everybody. Wonderful!

"So, Vert, why'd you not leave already?" Neptune finally asked in a short break from gaming and took a sip from her drink. I and Diana had a suspicion.
"It's... Ah, well, I'll have to tell you anyways at some point." Vert began "I offered Deniz and Diana to became my CPU Candidates."
Neptune's drink went from her mouth into Vert's face. I'd be surprised, too, but *that's* a little too much.
"Wha- Why'd you not tell us?!" the CPU of Planeptune asked me. "Uh... Good question! I don't know!"
While Vert was cleaning herself, Diana asked her another question. "What'd you tell Chika? I don't think she'd be too happy getting less attention."
"If I'm happy, she is too. Well, at least that's what she told me." she replied. I and Diana just shrugged. I supposed that was true.

After the gaming session, Neptune decided to inform Histy about Vert's plan. There was not stopping Neptune, so we just followed her.
"Uh... she wants to do what?!" Histoire's reaction was expectable "I would suppose that is rather a good thing... if they don't mind."
We unhesitatingly confirmed it. "She asked us and we accepted. Simple as that."
"Well then, I suppose Vert is taking her leave and takes both of you with her, right?" "Yes, that is correct." Vert answered.
"Whoa! You're not gonna carry *both* of us on your own!" I said "How would you even do that?!"
"I'll carry one of you on my back-" "You've got enough back problems." I argued. "I suppose that's true-"
Nepgear cut her off. She was here? Wow, she was not getting a lot of attention. "I'll help. Besides, I've done my work already."
"Great, Nepgear. That will also give your sister some time to do hers." Histoire supported the idea.
"But, Histy..." Neptune tried to say something, but was cut of by the tome. "No 'but', you're gonna do your work. I'll. Make. Sure. Of. It."
"G'bye!" "Bye!" "We'll be off!" "Later!" I, Diana, Vert and Nepgear hastily gave our good-byes before running off.
"No, traitors!" Neptune was about to run after us, but was intercepted by IF and dragged away.

Wait... *Where* did IF come from?

It was not exactly a pleasant ride for me. Not sure whether from the thin air or the fact that I had to close my eyes to not look down.
When Diana was set down, she almost collapsed. Good thing Nepgear caught her. I, on the other hand, was relatively okay.

"Worst... ten... minutes... of... my... life..." Diana said while regaining her balance. "You'll get used to it. Eventually." Nepgear tried to cheer her up.
Before I could say anything, Vert hugged me, still floating. "Help me! Can't... breath..." I tried to say, but it came out very muffled. Vert giggled a little from my attempt to say something.
And then, I lost consciousness...

Huh? Looks like I didn't suffocate after all.
When I woke up, I was laying in a bed. A women in black clothes and green, long hair greeted me. Probably Chika.
"How... long was I out?" I asked her. I sat up and looked around the room I was in. Fancy PC- and Console-Set-up, wall-posters of male anime characters, video game collections, even more merchandise. Yup, Vert's room.
"Not too long, just about half an hour." Good. I don't wanna miss any news... Right, I haven't introduced myself.
"By the way, I'm Deniz. Nice to meet you." "Chika Hakozaki, Oracle of Leanbox. So you're the boy, who Vert chose to become the Candidate?" I nodded, got up and took her hand-shake.
"So, where's everybody?" "In the meeting room." "Could you take me there?" "It would be my pleasure."

She was eyeing me on the way to the meeting room like she didn't trust me...
"Is... something wrong?" I questioned. "N-no, not at all." "That doesn't really sound promising." I paused a second before I continued. "I suppose you don't know about the dimension I come from?"
"You're from another dimension?" "Mmhm. One without CPUs, where this world is a video game." "You don't think I'd believe that, do you." "Honestly, no. But you can ask Neptune about it. She was there."
Silence covered us once more. "You know, we suspect Arfoire is going to return. Possibly targeting that world." I broke the silence once more.
"Yeah, Vert told me about that, but I didn't think I'd be that different... Ah, we're there!"

We entered the meeting room. And true to Chika's words, Vert, Diana and Nepgear were there, relieved to see I'm okay.
"If *that* happens again, I'll make sure to smack somebody." I said while looking at Vert. She waved her hands dismissively. "It won't, I'll make sure of it."
"It. Sure. Won't." Diana added in a deep, threatening voice. "She's... creepy..." I could hear Chika mutter. I and Chika sat down on one of the couches in the room.

Yeah, the room. Mostly green and white walls, a pair couches facing each other, in between of them a coffee table. Looks nice and comfortable.

"We're pretty much done with the preparations and my speech for your announcement as CPU Candidates." Vert said as we sat down.
"And we made sure Plan B is executable in case Plan A is not enough." I assumed Plan A was announcing us and Plan B was the CPU Memory thing.
"If all fails, Plan C is still an option..." Vert averted her gaze.
"We don't want to know, right?" I asked. "Not... really..." "Let's... just hope Plan A is already enough."
"And what's missing-" I was interrupted by my phone vibrating once. "Uh, sorry, but might be important."

'Wo bist du?' It was a WhatsApp message from my mom... Let me see...
'Andere Dimension, hast du den Zettel nicht bekommen?'
'Unsinn, komm nach hause!'
':( Glaub mir eben nicht. Und geht jetzt grad nicht. Wichtiges Zeug.'
'Und deine Schwester?'
'Sitzt neben mir und kommt vorerst auch nicht. Wir sind fast erwachsen, hab etwas Vertrauen in uns.'
A few second passed without any more replies. Okay, guess she gave up.

At the time I put my phone away, I noticed everybody was looking at me.
"My- Our mom." I said coolly. "Wondered where we were although we left a message."
"I suppose that's-" Vert was interrupted as my phone vibrated. "I COULD FLIP A TABLE!" I snapped.

I accepted the call and angrily yelled into the microphone as I saw it was my mother "WHAT?!"
"Ich wollte dich hoeren, wissen dass es dir gut geht." I cooled down a little and replied. "Ich... stell dich auf Lautsprecher... Nicht dass dich jemand verstehen wird."
I took the phone from my ears. "Don't talk about what the plan, nothing about Arfoire, and just act like people I casually know." I told them, they responded by nodding.
Then I put the call on the speakers and placed the phone on the table.

"Diana, bist du da?" The voice from the speakers asked. "Ja, bin ich." Diana replied annoyed.
"That's your mother?" Chika asked. "Yes, she is." was my reply. "Wer ist sonst da?" My mother asked again.
"Ich bin Vert, die andere Stimme geh rt zu Chika. Wir sind Bekannte." Vert answered my mother's question in *fluid* German. We (including Chika) slowly turned our heads towards her, with a questioning look on our faces.
"What is it?" Vert questioned "Oh, that. I researched a little with the inter-dimensional internet while I was at the Planeptune Basilicom." Aka: I learned a to speak and understand a language in. One. Freakin'. Day.
Then again, she was a goddess, who was I to question her. She was playing video games *perfectly* while doing her work *reliably*.
"Ehm... Okay. Hallo, W- Ehm... Vert." my mother greeted Vert, completely mis-pronouncing her name.
"Sonst noch was?" I asked annoyed as well. "Nein, nicht wirklich." "Ciao." I said and gave the others a look that said 'Say good-bye'.
They did so and I quit the call after that.

"Our mother, ladies." I said, flopping back into the couch.
"Oh, goodness. It's late, I need to go. Bye!" Nepgear said hastily after checking the clock, quickly leaving the room. We waved our hands.
And yeah, it's like 5 pm... and I never even had lunch... Nah, I'll survive.

I'M STARVING!
Joking.

We just had dinner. Made by the fast-food-restaurant down the road.
It tasted well, but I had the feeling that Vert eats *nothing* but fast food.
How did she even keep her figure... Let's not think about that. It was a long day. I was tired and we (I and Diana) were assigned a room to sleep in.
Let's just sleep and see what was about to happen next...

Translations of the German text in order:

'Where are you?'
'Other dimension, did you not get the message?'
'non-sens, come home.'
':( Don't believe me then. And not possible right now. Important stuff'
'Where's your sister?'
'Is sitting next to me and won't come for now as well. We're almost adults, have a little confidence in us.'

"I wanted to hear you, wanted to know you're well." - "I'll... put you on the speakers... Not that anybody would understand you."

"Diana, are you there?" - "Yes, I am."
"Who else is there?"
"I'm Vert, the other voice belongs to Chika."
"Uhm... Okay. Hello, W- Uhm... Vert."
"Something else?" - "No, not really."
