Chapter 36: Advancements?
-Katsuragi's House-
It's was a nice evening everyone was seated on the table, Keima was serving dinner.
"Darling come sit me now!" suddenly shouted Yui.
Yes, Yui was indeed in the Katsuragi Residence for dinner again. Yui's shout actually made Keima, Mari and Kanon feel uncomfortable, but it wasn't just them apparently Yui brought other guest with her.
Mari laughed nervously, looked at Keima who was serving food and said " I'm sorry Keima-Darling for troubling you with cooking dinner tonight, I didn't know we were having so many guest.".
" I didn't know too! I thought it was only Yui." thought Keima as he continued serving food.
" Sorry about that Mother!" said Yui that agitated the others, then she continued " But apparently when I said I was going to Keima's house they wanted to come." then she laughed.
As Yui said it wasn't just her, Tsukiyo, and Ayumi also came, along side Kanon who was already there since morning.
"I had nothing particular to do, so I just went to visit Keima!.." proclaimed Tsukiyo as a light blush appeared on her face.
Meanwhile Ayumi was just silently sitting on her chair as she blushed.
Mari laughed awkwardly again as Keima finished serving the food, but suddenly someone knocked on the door.
"Who might that be?" said Mari as all of them looked at the door except Keima who was cleaning his glasses. " Would you kindly get that dear?" said Mari as she smiled at Keima.
Keima looked at Mari and sighed then he stood up and walked to the door while saying " Of all the days...".
Keima opened the door unwillingly.
"Ah! Ano!... G-Good evening Keima!..." suddenly said Tenri while blushing as Keima opened the door.
"Tenri?" said Keima as he looked slightly confused
"Uhm..Diana said that I should..ano.." shyly said Tenri.
"Diana said what?" asked Keima.
Tenri blushed more and was unable to answer. When suddenly Tenri's shadow changed a bit.
"Katsuragi! Why didn't you invite Tenri to dinner as well?!" yelled Diana.
"What?! Who said I invited anyone?!" Keima answered back.
"Don't make excuses! You still haven't made it up to Tenri for suddenly leaving last time!.." said Diana slightly furious.
"Diana, I told you that was okay!..." said Tenri embarrassingly.
"Oh? Isn't that Tenri I hear?" suddenly spoke Mari from her chair.
"Tenri?.." thought Ayumi, Kanon, and Tsukiyo simultaneously.
It made Keima sweat drop from his head. Keima slowly opened the door wide revealing Tenri to everyone.
"Ahh!...G-Good evening!..."said Tenri.
" Ahh, so it was Tenri." Mari said happily as she waved and continued " What brings you here Tenri?" asked Mari.
"Uhmm Ano!.." said Tenri who was blushing and was unable to answer.
"I also invited her..." suddenly answered Keima.
"Eh?" said Mari who was shocked.
"I'm sorry for not telling Mother." said Keima.
"No! No! It's ok!.." said Mari then she laughed awkwardly.
"Th-Thank you Keima..." Tenri whispered happily.
"Shall we sit down and eat?" asked Keima as he turned to Tenri.
Tenri nodded as she smiled.
Moments Later...
Yes, it was a very silent dinner, well... except for Yui's constant dotting on Keima.
"Darling here! Let me feed you!" said Yui as she tried to do so.
"Ahh.. No Yui... I can eat just fine." said Keima as he refused politely when suddenly Kanon spoke.
"Yui! Would you please stop bugging Keima!.." said Kanon in a slightly irritated voice.
Everyone was surprised by Kanon and was stuck staring at her.
Kanon found it awkward herself and said " It's just that!.. Keima looked bothered by it!..".
Mari laughed awkwardly and said " I'm glad to you guys hanging around Keima and all, but ... I'm starting to worry that Keima doesn't have any male friends.".
The other girls then laughed awkwardly in the sudden realization.
" Now that you've mentioned it..." said Ayumi.
"It's not our fault, right?.." asked Kanon a little worried.
"But he does have a male friend.." suddenly said Tenri.
"He does?!.." said the other girls and Mari.
Tenri nodded and said " He was a blonde guy, I think his name was Ryu?..." said Tenri.
"Now that you've mentioned it...Chihiro did mention he met a blonde guy here once while she was visiting Elsie.." recalled Ayumi .
"Really?!" said Mari getting all excited then she looked at Keima and continued " Hey dear! Why not try inviting him next time? I want to meet him!..".
Keima sighed and said "I don't have other friends , because I'm fine with the situation right now, I'm ok with just you guys." then continued to eat.
Keima noticed the sudden silence then took a peek at them and saw them blushing, even his mother. Keima's sweat dropped again.
" If Keima says so, who am I to disagree. " said Tsukiyo happily while still blushing a little.
Kanon and Ayumi agreed by nodding.
"Ahh.. I almost forgot, where's Elsie and your cousin?" suddenly asked Yui.
"Elsie is still in Haqua's place I guess, but Keima's cousin? " asked Mari.
Keima suddenly jolted.
"So she really wasn't your cousin?" said Kanon as she stared at Keima.
"She's my cousin!" suddenly answered Keima then he sighed and said " Mom.".
"What is it ?" said Mari nonchalantly.
Then Keima came closer to Mari and whispered " Truth is my cousin from Elsie's family came to school today...".
"Oh..I see.." said Mari in a understanding way, but Keima could feel a little anger.
"I'm sorry dad..." thought Keima.
"I'm sorry, but it was Keima's cousin, it's just some complicated family stuff." said Mari then she laughed it off.
" Ahh... sorry for bringing the topic up Mother." said Yui.
"No no , it's ok Yui. By the way , you made advancements towards Keima?" said Mari while smiling.
Everyone else suddenly coughed except for Yui.
" Mother?!" shouted Keima.
"I just wanna know some stuff dear. " answered Mari still smiling then she looked at the girls who were blushing and continued " so?".
" As if anyone of them is gonna answer." Keima thought in relief.
"Uhmm.." Kanon suddenly spoke while blushing.
"Wait?! Kanon?!.." suddenly thought Keima as Kanon began to speak.
"Keima...swore that he won't abandon me, that he'll be with me through thick and thin..." said Kanon while blushing, smiling and being embarrassed.
" Keima said that?!" said the surprised Mari.
Kanon nodded slowly as her blush remained then she looked at Keima who was clearly embarrassed.
"Hmph!.. I bet everyone tells that to you since your an idol.." said Tsukiyo then she looked at Keima and said " I could never forget what Keima said to me.." then Tsukiyo started blushing and continued, " I don't actually believe it, but... Keima said...Keima said he'll make me happy...". Tsukiyo didn't notice, but she was already smiling a little.
" Keima did you really say that?" asked Kanon a bit worried.
" Keima, dear , you do know what that means?" asked Mari also a bit worried.
"Keima! I'll be the one who'll make you happy!" suddenly said Yui.
"Uhh.. Ano .. wait!.." answered Keima.
"Couldn't we just ask Keima!..." suddenly said Ayumi.
They all looked at Ayumi.
"A-Ayumi's right!..." said Kanon.
" I guess that's fair." said Tsukiyo.
"Don't just force the decision on me!..." thought Keima.
"So Keima dear, who? Who's the one most close to you?" asked Mari while smiling.
Keima looked around and saw nothing but stares, "Tsk." he thought as he started to sweat. " I guess it would be...Tenri?.." said Keima. " Tenri does know about the conquest and all and she is my childhood friend. " thought Keima as he answered.
"Eh?!" said Kanon, Yui and Tsukiyo.
"I guess you did really like Tenri Keima." teased Mari.
" I said she's the closest to me!.." defended Keima.
Meanwhile Tenri was burning up silently in her sit.
"Alright , alright I understand" said Mari then she sighed and said " You don't have to be too embarrassed dear, it's not like you kissed one of them already." playfully. Then she started eating again, but she noticed the sudden silence.
"Hmph?.." said Mari as she looked at the girls while chewing. Mari saw them blushing and somehow fidgeting in their sits except for Yui who was rubbing the back of her head while smiling.
Mari then suddenly dropped her spoon and shouted " Wait! Did you guys kissed already?! Did you?! ".
The girls just looked down as their blush grew.
"Mother!..Stop it!" shouted Keima.
Mari was now panicking and kept speaking " When did it happen?! Keima did you kiss all of them?! Who was first?! What's the reason?!.. Why haven't you told me?! Does-..." then she fainted.
-Kitchen-
Moments later Mari was in her bed, everyone went home ( Kanon went with Yui just like what Keima planned ) except for Tenri who was helping cleaning up .
Keima sighed and said " Finally, some peace and quiet..." while washing the dishes.
"Uhmm.. Here Keima." said Tenri as she brought the other dishes to Keima.
"Thanks." said Keima.
Tenri then waited for Keima to finish cleaning when she said " Ano...Keima?..".
"What is it?" said Keima still washing the dishes.
" It's just, tomor-.." said Tenri but she was cut off when Diana suddenly spoke as her shadow.
"Couldn't you look at Tenri when she's talking to you?! You even said that you guys are the closest!" said Diana.
"That's because she knows everthing about the plan!.." Keima answered back.
"Jeez! Would you two just go out already! I mean, what happened earlier is still playing inside Tenri's head.". said Diana.
" Diana!..." said Tenri while being embarrassed.
" Enough of that already!.." said Keima as he finished washing the dishes and closed the faucet then he faced Tenri and said " What were you gonna say Tenri?".
Tenri jolted and said "Ah!... That's for tomorrow our schools are...".
-At Nikaido's place-
"All plans for tomorrow have been prepared." said Nikaido as she ate.
" Yes, now it's up for the Capturing God himself to think how he'll handle the situation." said Rimyuel as she also ate then she smirked.
"Is this really necessary though?" asked Nikaido.
"It is, if we want to speed up the capturing process..." said Rimyuel then she looked outside the window and said " As Chief Dokuro said we don't have enough time left...".
-Katsuragi's House , Kitchen -
"What?! Why didn't you guys tell us earlier?!" shouted Keima.
"Katsuragi don't just shout at Tenri!" complained Diana.
"It's because it was too awkward earlier... I'm sorry!.." said Tenri shyly.
"Rimyuel what kind of plan is this?!..." thought Keima.
