Chapter 29: The Last Supper… Kinda (2)
It's been a full month since that fateful dinner and… many things have changed in Sainan City ever since that little event.
Most of its citizens knew of the presence of aliens, outwordly royalty and creature beyond earthly comprehension being around in the last few years, but many still ended up fairly surprised when the newest residents that came to settle there were revealed as much more than mere 'royalty'.
The large mansion now domineering a large section of land nearby the city was in fact a clear sight that the new arrivals were not the 'usual visitors', but rather a new grand element to the wacky history of the town.
Gid Lucione Deviluke was the Emperor of the Galaxy, a powerful pint-sized humanoid with lightly-selfish personality and a crave for quick means to get some amusement in his daily life.
His 'true reward' ever since reaching Earth, the new Gym teach taking pleasure in throwing the various students under his care to hell, letting them suffer before actually granting them 'his mercy'.
Quite interesting as an individual to spare some quick conversation when he was off-duty and, much to the dismay and chagrin of the Student Council, a known-pervert in certain occasions.
The teacher wouldn't be pursuing any sudden lewd situation, but for sure he would jump at the opportunity to peek at some unaware girls where he could, reserving himself from actually going as far as the lecherous degree displayed by the previous principal.
Something that ended up warranting some citations and lectures all directed at me, 'the principal' surely having to know how to handle someone that could demolish 'him' with no effort put in the act.
Some considerations were forwarded, Gid growing much less 'overbearing' with this predicament, but certainly not giving up on the habit for two distinct reason.
He was a pervert by nature, something that had more than once alluded by Nana and that now was here to be shown with its full glory; he was also pissed at me, rightfully so, as I was the one that unofficially screwed him with the current job he was now 'forced' to have.
Much to his immense displeasure, what he would have thought to be the perfect mean to ogle at girls going for some physical training with all of the details that would come with that specific situation ended up turning to be but a misunderstanding of the Japanese laws about gym teachers.
Some schools allowed male teachers to teach to female students, some regulations within their contracts forcing them to abide to some limitations and the presence of some assistants when required by said rules.
Sadly, Sainan High was no such school as its laws about teachers being fairly stricter than I had initially thought them to be; Male teachers were only supposed to teach male students, the girls were to be taught by female instructors.
This little development, something I had been aware for some time before that dinner, had been right what I wanted for Gid to discover slowly and personally as I had wanted to take an indirect shot at him for many different issues born from his mere laziness in the story.
The shocking surprise ended up getting him quite 'incensed' about the subject, forcing me to displace some funds to repair a section of the local park that ended up getting erased by his 'quiet walk'.
He did some damage, no one got hurt and the reason why he wouldn't do much but fuss at the subject was all because of a single emotion he was so attached too that it would surely led to his downfall in the future.
It was his pride as a 'smart and strong' ruler, someone that would 'surely' see a trick instead of signing without looking well at the 'perfectly-visible' details on the contract I've given to him, that kept him from genuinely retaliate, no matter how angry he felt over the matter.
Maybe it was also the fact that he didn't have to endure the horrible stress born from the paperwork of being a ruler, the paper being dealt by a curious duo as of now and I was glad that I thought about this individual to help the Queen.
Yui Kotegawa, prominent student at Sainan High, was certainly surprised when I first introduced her to Sephie, the pinkette instantly taking a liking of the good-standing girl and almost immediately accepting my little request over the matter.
While the rule-abiding teen was more than prepared to deal with the task offered (behind good remuneration and some optimal addition to insert in her Curriculum), my secondary objective behind this little team-up was actually a little concern of mine that I had going for some days now.
Yui was relaxed around me, still giving me some strong looks when I ended up dealing with some 'difficult to explain' situations, but accustomed to my personality to know that I wasn't the kind of guy that was 'lecherous and untrustworthy'.
While this was quite helpful in keeping a good relation with the Student Council, I was still concerned over her little improvement when dealing with male students as some parents had been complaining about some of her still-present dislike for 'half' of the student body.
That is why, after some deep pondering and some fact-checking, that having Yui 'work' under Sephie would have been my best bet to see her somewhat change her views to something a little more manageable.
The Queen had been enduring her husbands for decades now and I was certain that her inner strength, charisma and silver tongue would have molded the young woman to finally take a proper path to adulthood.
She was mentally-mature to be considered one because of the way she had handled many 'disasters' with some steely resolve, but I found her little dislike to be a tad bit too strong to be left unchecked.
Sadly, much to my surprise but also grimace, this development ended up clashing with another predicament happening with Sephie, the woman having taken another responsibility as the 'Royal Mansion' had been fully built and furnished with everything required for their daily life.
Rito was surprised when his possibly soon-to-be mother-in-law had decided to have him deal with the paperwork too, the orange-haired boy certainly not expecting the fact that, as the heir to the Empire, he would have to learn how to get accustomed with some of the diplomacy and traditions of the various races under the Deviluke's rule.
Encouraged by Lala, the teen had little choice but accept the new duty and soon he ended up encountering Yui on a more frequent basis than before and… accidents were still an issue for the clumsy fool.
It wasn't much of his fault considering the effort pushed by Rito, but I couldn't help but shake my head at his unconquerable (bad) luck continuing to be an ever-present variable in Sainan City's life.
With the new house now available for the Deviluke family to use without restriction, Nana and Momo were glad to have their 'normal-sized' rooms recreated on Earth, the newer space offering them the opportunity to enjoy life on Earth without 'leeching off' from the Yuuki family.
The eldest of the three sisters had been the only one deciding to stay back in the household, motivating that she wanted to stay 'the closest possible to her fiancé'.
The logic finding no major opposition, Mikan actually elated of the fact that the major lessening of people in the house meant less work for her in her home while also keeping her brother from growing too distant with someone that 'sounded the best choice for him to have'.
Of course, the little brunette would have wanted Rito's crush to be onboard too but even her covert matchmaking attempts were limited enough to discourage any attempt of getting that gig going.
Time had gone so quickly that I was almost unaware of what was going to happen quite soon, my mind too deep in that endless sea of paper, ink and despair.
It was another day at work spent dealing with the few circumstances created by Rito, some mishaps with the Deviluke sisters and some other scenes caused by the other unique students here at Sainan High.
I was also aware that once the holidays were over, new students will come while older ones will have to go and I was quite interested over a particular student that was going to join the next first year.
Mikan Yuuki had decided to enroll to Sainan High, citing the fact that she couldn't just pick another school and leave 'her brothers and the others to despair without her help and watch'.
A big but rightful claim considering the wisdom she had been displaying for some time during some of the insanity happening to her and her family, always finding some solutions or befriending those around her.
Truly an interesting girl to keep an eye on as she would be a new element in the shenanigans happening in this 'seemingly normal' school.
I yawned, one of my hands lifting up from the table and massaging my head as I felt it throbbing in minor discomfort at the current headache, too much to do and so little time to accomplish everything as the closure of the year was soon to come and I still had so many things to do and-
The stress-induced inner rant was cut short as I felt something soft wrap around my chest and lifting me up, my eyes staring down and quickly noticing the familiar strands of black hair now turned in some vines holding onto me quite tightly.
I glanced around and I found a familiar smiling face leaning towards mine.
"Muha~!" Nemesis accentuated her lasting peck on my lips, smiling brightly as some blush spread on my face. My embarrassment much less pronounced than it had been in the last few weeks, especially after dealing with other similar situations.
"Morning, darling~!" She chirpily added, getting a twitchy smile out of my surprised reaction as I slowly nodded back at her.
"Morning, Neme-chan," I replied softly, causing her to giggle amusingly at my little shock.
The transweapon was in her adult form and she was wearing a pure white sun-dress, a small hat on her head as she slowly let me back to my chair, humming quietly as she tapped at the paperwork.
"I remember you promising that you would have been done by now," She huffed, glancing with some irritation at me. "You did promise me that."
I flinched a little but I still managed a nod. I did promise her that I would have been able to spare some time to go for a walk in the park, my memory giving me a false state of the current paperwork… but then I discovered that the stack had mysteriously tripled overnight.
I knew that paperwork was born from witchcraft, but what kind of sorcery was I dealing with?
I opened my lips, ready to apologize for this sudden development as I hadn't no excuse for what I was dealing with in that very moment and-
Creak-!
But I stopped as my eyes ended up finding a certain red ahoge pooking from the now slightly-open door, causing me to narrow my sight at the little spy behind it.
I glanced momentarily at Nemesis, the tanned young woman frowning at the door herself, something in her face telling me that this was expected… but also not.
I blinked as I returned my attention at the 'sneaky' redhead and faked a cough.
"Imouto, you may enter," I said, causing the ahoge to snap momentarily stiff before the girl's head peeked a little more.
Blue eyes showed a little embarrassment but her amused smile dignified that she was far from feeling guilty over this intrusion.
Instead Mea entered the door slowly, wearing a cute green short-skirt and a sleeveless blue shirt, and she was soon followed by two other familiar individuals.
Yami was smiling shyly as she remained close to her younger sibling, her hair combed in a twintail and she was wearing some black pants that reached her knees and half-sleeved yellow shirt.
The last of the intruders looked incredibly relaxed, causing me to almost facepalm at the genuine happiness exuding from her.
Momo had grown a little from just a single month.
Her hair were now long enough that they needed to be combed in a short ponytail to be kept a little bit above her shoulders and her body was now experiencing some growth spurt, with her height increasing a centimeters or two from the dinner.
It had been quite sudden, but the girl was more than elated to once again 'prove to the entire world' that she was still better than Nana somehow with their sibling rivalry.
Her sister had finally started to develop some… curves and that had brought to her sisters' attention the fact that now she needed to have bigger bras to keep up with the growth, something that made Lala proud and Momo somewhat annoyed at the fact that her twin was catching up with her.
Despite the fact I was happy to see some familiar faces in this moment of dread, I couldn't help but notice that the clothes that they were wearing, while cute and gorgeous, were not the school uniform and… it was still a little early for the school day to be over.
"Neme-chan," The young woman turned at my confused look, sporting some curiosity over my call. "I don't want to sound disrespectful but… why are you all here?
She blinked, her pout melting in a little grin as she patted again at the paperwork.
"Dear, did you forget what day is today?"
The question rang strange, my brain stopping for just a moment as I thought about this very query and… I found myself blinking.
Then again.
And again.
Finally my mind conceded that I had indeed committed a major case of brainfart, my previous understanding of today's date being of March 14th- as I didn't have the means to check on some calendar, so focused on work that… that I missed the date by a full week.
My eyes widened as a sound facepalm ensued, a groan leaving my lips while the girls giggled at my sudden realization.
"So today is… the last day, isn't it?"
Nemesis hummed positively. "Lessons end early today and I did make some plans to make this little 'walk to the park' a little more than just a walk."
Moving my hand away from my face, I blinked one last time. "You mean that… we are going to have a picnic?" I guessed quietly, getting a bigger smile from the tanned girl while Momo slowly revealed a picnic basket.
"Since it's the first day of the holidays, we thought of spending it together by the park," The pinkette commented. "I've also asked Dad to have today free of training, saying that I had some important business to do and promising him to have double training session tomorrow."
And that was saying a lot, considering that a single session was as tiring as painful to even look at, giving me some insight over Momo's determination over the matter.
The girl's confidence had somewhat returned to some stable levels and her competitive streak had lessened by the time Nemesis had decided to 'spend some time with her'.
I was wary of this development, knowing full well that beneath that innocent exterior the transweapon still had some mischievous and naughty side to her personality, which was more than enough to have my attention up when the two were around my proximity, something telling me that they weren't just chatting with one another.
Still, I had to admit that the improvement and the support was genuine, enough to say that Momo had indeed found some balance with the help of Yami.
The pinkette would still have her 'strange' moments when she was around me, but those were now rare cases with little 'danger' around them.
"That sounds like a lot of pressure for a single day," I replied back, getting a nod from Mea.
The redhead took some soda bottles from her bag. "I went shopping for the drinks," She pointed at her sister. "Yami-nee prepared some delicious-looking sandwiches with Mikan's help-"
The blonde blushed a little at the positive comment, but her smile barely faded in that circumstance as the red-haired girl turned her aim at Momo.
"Hime decided to bring some fresh fruits and Neme-nee is bringing some pillows."
That sound quite healthy and all- Wait, what is this about pillow?
My attention was quickly on Nemesis, the girl giggling eagerly at that reaction but she nodded as she showed the backpack she had brought with her, opening it and showing the little pillows inside.
"Since it's a nice day with no clouds and no duties to go through, I thought it would be nice to nap a little under the shade of some trees," She explained, drawing a slow nod out of me as I pondered over the chance of some… rest after this paperwork was signed and done for.
But just as I glanced at the stack of paper, I saw a happy-looking Mea transform some of her hair in a battle-axe, taking a swing with the weapon and cleaving the paperwork in half.
The suddenness of the situation and the damage committed at the blood of my work were enough to prompt me to jump in my chair and drag it to the floor with it.
Panic surged quickly, but the sound of some amused giggles got me glaring at Nemesis. "W-Why are you laughing fo-"
"Dear, you sure didn't notice the little prank I pulled at you, didn't you?" She asked with a strong hint of mirthfulness, ignoring the frown plastered on my face. "Did you even look at what you were signing at?"
I opened my mouth, eyes narrowing at the now damaged pile of paper but my brain giving me no solution to whatever this prank could be and then… it was Momo to speak.
"Nemesis-chan decided to spend the rest of yesterday's night getting the paperwork you had left completed." The pinkette explained while glancing at the… visibly tired Nemesis. How did I fail to notice that she was tired? "Then, before you woke up, she made sure to create some fake copies of the paper you had for today for you to think it was the real thing."
"And that's where the fun paper-cutting became the best prank to pull at you," Mea giggled, tilting her head and now sporting some curiosity. "What did you think of it?"
Blinking at the question, I found my brain conflicting over the possible answer I could give at the query.
While I was genuinely angry at this stunt I was the victim of, I couldn't help but notice that it wasn't truly harmful nor done maliciously.
Plus another look at the tanned young woman was enough to get me worried about her current state of awareness.
I stood up from the ground and nodded. "That was some sneaky move," I admitted but, before I could say anything else, I was quick to pull Nemesis in a hug, lips near her ear.
"And I think you will need more than a nap after wasting a full night of sleep."
She tensed a little at the comment, eyes glancing at mine with a stubborn light, trying to silently protest at my request but… I wasn't going to step down from that particular subject.
Just as I turned to resume the discussion, I saw a certain red-haired missile propel herself towards us, the girl giggling mirthfully as she joined the embrace… only to be followed by Yami and Momo.
The sudden impacts were enough to send us all back to the ground, the mass of giggling teens consuming the room in amused noises as I tried but failed to get out from that super-hug in the making.
Groaning a little, I decided to let out a little smile and enjoy the little situation as it was.
After all, life was going well here in this crazy world and I was sure that only good days awaited us all, to walk together with hopes and dreams.
AN

REVIEW Q&A!
Mdhunter: I think this chapter answer it all! :)
Genderbend: I think that is a yes, I do have personal experience with girls loving Yaoi to that degree (not to the nose-bleeding point, of course, but she was incredibly keen to make pairings among us guys at school. Quite awkward than anything else.).
