Chapter 35: Kanon's Second Visit!
- Katsuragi's House -
Mari was in Cafe Grandpa, at the counter while brewing some coffee when suddenly the door opened.
"Welcome to Cafe Grand-!.." greeted Mari as the door opened, but she stopped as soon as she saw who came in. " Keima?" said Mari in confusion then she approached him while asking " What are you doing here so-", but paused when she saw another person who entered after Keima, "early?.." she continued after pausing for a while.
"Good morning ! " happily said Kanon as she bowed down, then she continued " It's a pleasure to finally meet you , my name is Kanon! ".
Mari was quiet for a while then she turned to Keima and asked, "Keima, darling, what is Kanon-chan doing here? " while smiling.
Keima started sweating and slowly looked at the side to avoid his mother's face. Mari kept smiling at him when suddenly her right eye began twitching, Keima noticed it and sweated more.
"Uhmm, Ano.. Ms. Katsuragi... I'm sorry it was my fault!.." suddenly said Kanon.
Kanon's word made Keima and Mari look at her.
" I called Keima while I was in trouble this morning!... He rushed to my side as fast as he can and saved me from a stalker, so please don't get mad at Keima!.." sincerely pleased Kanon.
Keima was focused on Kanon when suddenly he felt something heavy lean on his shoulder. Keima looked at his shoulder and found his mother leaning on his shoulder.
"Keima...running to a girl's aid?... I think I should rest a little..." said Mari weakly then she slowly walked to the her room.
"Ms. Katsuragi? Are you ok?" asked Kanon as she watched Mari walking to her room.
Mari stopped for a moment and looked at Kanon and said " Y-Yes , Yes.. I just need to rest for some time..." .
Keima and Kanon stood still at their spot until Mari reached her room and closed the door.
-Keima's Room-
Moments later Kanon and Keima went up to Keima's room.
"How is ?.." asked Kanon as she sat on his bed.
"She's fine. She's just sleeping. " said Keima as an image of his mother resting on her bed appeared on his mind while placing his bag on his game chair, " Well I'll leave for a moment." he continued.
"Where are you going?" asked Kanon curiously.
"I'll get some refreshments and snacks." said Keima as he exited the room.
As soon as Keima left silence surrounded Kanon, then she suddenly rested on Keima's bed.
"It's Keima's bed..." thought Kanon as she happily laid down on Keima's bed.
As she turned around in Keima's bed she spotted something unusual that made her sit up.
"What is that? " said Kanon as she stood up from the bed and approached the object that caught her attention.
"What's this doll doing her?... Was it here the last time I was here?.." said Kanon as she curiously inspected the doll.
"My my, I didn't expect to find this here." suddenly spoke Apollo who was now visible from a gaming screen in Keima's room.
Kanon jolted as she heard Apollo speak and quickly turned her head to face Apollo and said " Don't just suddenly talk Apollo! You're gonna give me a heart attack!".
Apollo giggled a little and said " Sorry! Sorry! But I thought you grown used to it by now!".
"Well you are different from before!" Kanon answered back.
"It was because of Katsuragi's determination to pursue you." Apollo said teasingly.
Kanon blushed as she heard what Apollo said.
" Anyways! That doll you're holding, it's one of Vul-nee-sama's vessels." said Apollo as she pointed on the doll Kanon was holding.
"Vul-nee-sama's vessel?..." said Kanon as she closely looked at the doll again.
"That's right! That means that was given by Vul-nee-sama's host, hmmm..." said Apollo as she thought seriously while rubbing her chin and continued, " I forgot her name... she had blond hair and a small body..." and continued to think.
"Tsukiyo?..." said Kanon.
"Yeah! That girl!" said Apollo as she nodded.
Kanon still looked confused and said " But why would Tsukiyo give Keima a doll?".
"Kanon, I'm back, did you wait long? " said Keima as he entered the room while holding a tray of tea.
Kanon jolted as Keima spoke and quickly hid Luna behind her back. " Not at all!... " said Kanon.
Keima confusedly looked at Kanon as he sat on the floor and placed the tray in front of him.
"What are you hiding?" Keima calmly asked as he poured tea to the cups.
Kanon jolted again as Keima asked that question. Kanon sighed then sticked her tongue out playfully as she sat on the floor and placed Luna on her lap.
"About this.." said Kanon as she placed Luna on her lap.
"You mean Luna?" said Keima.
"Did Tsukiyo give you this doll?" asked Kanon.
"Yes, why?" said Keima.
"Why would she give you a doll?" asked Kanon as she picked up her cup.
Keima picked up his cup and drank first then answered, "I need to keep Luna...for Tsukiyo..." then Keima coughed intentionally ,quickly changing the subject and continued "Anyways, where will you be staying? I mean you can't obviously stay in your apartment." .
" Ms. Okada said she'll find me a new place to stay in!" Kanon answered.
"That won't do." Keima suddenly spoke which made Kanon to stay quiet and focus on him, " I know Apollo can defend for you now, but I still need to know you're in a safe place, somewhere Satyr can't easily charge in, my mind won't be at ease if I know you aren't safe. " Keima continued.
Kanon blushed slightly as she heard Keima's words.
" Kanon? Are you ok?" said Keima as he noticed Kanon spacing out.
"Ahh it's nothing!.." said Kanon then she giggled a bit and continued, " So where do you suggest I go?..".
Keima began thinking and thought "I can't let her stay here , if the others find out it would cause chaos... " then he got the idea ,"How about at Yui's?.." said Keima.
"Yui Goido?" confirmed Kanon.
Keima nodded and got his phone out and started to message Yui...
" Yui , I'm not coming to school today ,but after school could you pick up Kanon from my house and let her stay at your house for a couple of days?
-Keima"
As Keima sent the message and closed the phone he instantly got a message.
"That fast?!" thought Kanon as she heard Keima's phone.
Keima opened his phone again and read the message..
" Ok! Ok! I'll come over for dinner later and pick her up! Could you ask Mother what present she would like?
-Yui"
Keima smiled a little and said " She agreed to take you in for a couple of days."
"Really?..That's great.." said Kanon a bit disappointed and thought " I wish I could have stayed here though...".
Keima looked at Kanon confusedly and then stood up and said "I'll prepare lunch then."
"Ok!.." Kanon answered while smiling.
Keima smiled back at her and exited the room.
Moments later...
A plate of lunch was left on the dining table for Mari as Keima and Kanon ate at his room.
"Keima really is a great cook!" said Kanon as she munched on Keima's home made lunch.
"It's nothing. " answered Keima as he played his PFP while eating.
"By the way... when is Yui coming? " suddenly asked Kanon as she continued eating.
Keima looked at Kanon and said " She said she'll come over for dinner and pick you up." .
Then the thought suddenly entered Keima's mind that made him drop a sweat and nervous.
"Yui is coming over for dinner again?!..." thought Keima.
"Keima?" said Kanon as she looked at the distressed Keima.
