A new day...
Well, the room was dark and I assumed it was a new day because I woke up.
Anyways. So I woke up with the immediate feeling that I played right into Vert's hands.
How so? What is Vert's biggest wish? Getting a little sister. Diana could fill that role.
And while speculative, I suppose she wanted to seduce me first (which kind of failed because I prefer oxygen over... well, anything), and then pull my sister in.
I agreed anyways and did so. VERT'S A FREAKING GENIUS... kinda.
I slowly opened my eyes and took in the surroundings... same green and white room we fell asleep yesterday.
I and Diana had to share a bed, but that's not a thing we really cared about as it was a large bed.
Nevertheless, Diana was hugging me in her sleep. This kind of looks bad, as we're both in nothing but our underwear (we thought it's more comfortable like this).
But we're family and I didn't think anybody would support the stuff that goes further than this. (I'M LOOKING AT YOU, TRICK!)
Ahem... Where was I? Ah, yes. I got out of Diana's grip and stood up. When I noticed the clock, it was almost 10 am, so I shook Diana a little so she would wake up.
"*yawn*... G'Morning... Deniz..." She sleepily greeted me. "Yeah, morning."
After my sister took the shower first, she was obviously ready earlier than me and went to the kitchen.
When I got out of the room, I was also heading there.
"Hey, Deniz!" It was Vert's voice behind me. I turned around and waved her. When she was next to me, I started walking as well again.
"I was wondering why you didn't want to me to refer to you as my brother." Right, I said something like that... still, I turned my head to her and questioned why she was asking.
"Oh come on... you know..." She jiggled her breasts... I looked forwards again and quickly waved of her suspicions.
"No, thanks. If it's about my preference in women, I don't care all too much for their looks. I'm looking more somebody I can share and have fun with."
Now that I thought about it, that sounded really cliche... well, actually that kind of includes Vert... Gaming 'n stuff.
"So, you're..." I cut her off again. "Yeah, no. I'm not sympathizing with you that much. For example, I'm sympathizing with a lot Nepgear or Uni."
"Why is that?" "Their kind of playing second fiddle all the time." I quickly realized that I pretty much said 'everybody is forgetting me and I have no friends' and mentally facepalmed.
"That sounds like you didn't have a lot of friends back in the other dimension." "That's kinda true. And I was not noticed a lot." Now that I thought about it, that was *exactly* true.
"But that's now different." I added with a smile on my face.
"That's good to hear and I'm happy about it." "What happened to Chika?"
What I was referring to, was the mint-haired Oracle laying flat on the floor, unconscious.
Then we saw Diana standing behind her still in a fighting pose.
"What did Chika do again?" Vert asked worriedly. "I guess 'violation' would get close to describing it." Diana said, slightly angry, but lowering her arms.
"..." "..." No response from us. Did I ever mention she had a great bust? No? Well, here you go...
We stepped over the unconscious Oracle into the kitchen where (presumably) Chika had already prepared breakfast.
"And what did you do?" Diana asked as she smeared butter onto her toast.
"Well..."
After the breakfast I and Diana got out to 'explore the city', as we called it.
'We would need to know the place we would protect and blah-blah' we said.
While we would do that, too, we wanted to also get ourselves some reputation. Hopefully a positive one by helping where we can.
Diana would probably test one of her skills on the first guy that dares to drag her off. A second one wouldn't come after that.
Due to the technical advancement in Leanbox (and pretty much all Gamindustri) compared to our dimension, cars were pretty much obsolete, therefore you would mostly see pedestrians on the street.
The people that needed to get somewhere quick had other possibilities to travel. We didn't use those as we wanted to explore.
The first important building we found was the guild. We decided to sign up to the guild (or find out how it worked at least).
As the sliding-doors opened and we stepped in, we were greeted by a woman at the counter. "Hello, you're new at the guild, right?" "Yeah. How does it work?" I replied and asked.
"Simple, just go up to a computer, accept a quest and take the ejected card. Once you're done with the task, bring it back and put it into the corresponding slot in a computer. You're reward will be dispensed."
Simple enough. I thanked her. "Thank you. We won't accept a quest yet, but we will make sure to at a later point. Bye then!" "No problem!"
Then we left the way we came in.
The next thing we noticed was that most shops were along the same alleyway. Weapons, 'armor', accessories, items for various needs, clothing, food etc.
At the end of said alleyway, there was a park. We decided to go there next and rest for a little.
We sat there for a while now and it was pretty peaceful. Birds chirping, small animals like squirrels running from tree to tree... It was relaxing to say the least.
"Hey there, chick." Oh, it was too nice to be true... Some rocker guy was coming our way. "I'm way better than that guy, come rather with me. You're body has it better."
I gave off a smirk. "Ooooh. You, first of, have the wrong impression of our relation, second of, you might just regret it."
"HA! As if I'd do! Come with me." As he tucked my sister on the arm, she just smirked and kept sitting there.
"COME ON!" That guy was already attracting people. "Dude, why don't you do anything?" somebody questioned me. I just coolly replied. "She can handle that guy herself. Trust me."
"I have enough!" The rocker snapped and grabbed Diana by her arm and pulled her up. Wrong move. "Mess with me, mess with the gods." Diana said as she freed her hand again.
She pushed him a little, causing him to stumble back a steps due to being caught of guard.
"ICHOR!" She yelled dramatically. She slowly moved up her right arm up her side to stretch it out above her. Then a yellow-transparent liquid gathered above her.
The rocker seemed to visibly pale a little. The people had already surrounded us, so there was no way he'd escape.
Once Diana was happy with the amount of ichor she gathered, she flicked her wrist towards the rocker, completely covering him.
It didn't smell or anything but it looked somewhat disgusting. "WHAT THE ****!" he shouted, while I still sat there, smirking and on the inside, laughing.
"Effect in battle: Lowers your VIT and MEN," Diana said "and since that wouldn't do..." Diana smirk went and her face darkened.
"LAST PRISM!" Oh, no she wouldn't. I frantically got up to stop her from using her EXE Drive and while she was raising her arms and I smacked her on the cheek.
"Ouch, what is it?!" "Don't you think you're going overboard?" "Oh... ahahaha..." She lowered her arms again, canceling the attack to which booing was heard. "Hey, better than a dead body in a public park." I retorted.
I sat back down to watch what she was gonna do now. She got dangerously close to him, a smirk on her face again. "I'll spare you," she said seductively "but..."
She put a finger tip on his mouth and moved her own closer to his. When they were about to meet... "OUCH! ****, DAMMIT, PEACE OF ****, ******* *****!"
Yep, knee to the crotch. Especially with lowered VIT, not the nicest thing to experience. After his... colorful... speech, he dropped down to the ground into a fetal position, clenching the affected area.
The crowd cheered on Diana. "You rock!" "He deserved it!" "The knee!" "Damn~" "Are you related to 5pb. by chance? 'cause you're music to my ears!" The last one was... weird? I dunno.
I added my claps, although I knew that she had done something like that before. Like more than just once. Or twenty times. The crowd quickly disbanded when I told them we didn't like it to have a crowd surrounding us.
We were left with the guy still on the ground... and a short girl, with pink hair and a white hoodie... Neptune was here. 'cause why the heck not?
"Hey, switchers*, how ya doin'?" She cheerfully greeted us, as she sat down next to us. I wasn't even surprised that much that she was here. I mean, it *was* Neptune. Diana was neither.
"We're doing great, how is it going in Planeptune?" Diana replied, emphasizing her point by pointing at the guy on the ground.
I intercepted quickly "Shares are on a steady level, you're not doing your work and the latter is the reason you're here, so you can escape Histy."
"Ahahahaha... yeah... 1:0 for you." Neptune sheepishly replied before adding "But I was also gonna talk to Vert because of the things she's doing with Nep Jr.!"
"Cosplay or video game wise?" I questioned... oh wait. "... video game wise, right?" "Yep. You've got it, buddy! You seem to know me like the back of your hand!"
"Speaking of 'Nep Jr.'..." Diana spoke as she pointed at the CPU Candidate descending from the air.
"Neptune, you have to do your work!" She said as she landed. "YOU'LL NEVER GET ME ALIVE!" Neptune shouted and tried to run...
I grabbed her, preventing her from doing so. I sighed as Nepgear came closer to pick up her sister.
"Thank you." She said as she picked up Neptune from my grab and took off with her. "TRAITORS!" was all we could hear from Neptune after she took of.
"And we should get back to the Basilicom, it's almost noon." I argued as I looked at my phone for the time once they were out of sight.
"I agree, I'm getting hungry." Diana replied.
And with that, we're heading back to the Basilicom.
