Season 3 Episode 51: Bravo Yukina Competition!

"C'mon!.. Hit this!" Kirie in a Mizuno Mavericks jersey demanded in a growing tone. She sat in front of the living room television on an evening watching a baseball game between the Mizuno Mavericks and the Tokyo Titans. Tomoka and Ebi sat nearby finishing the dinner Kirie had prepared some time ago. "This is the Titans we're talking about here! You can win if you can just hit this one out of the park! Hit this one out!" she demanded loudly.

"Strike one!" the umpire on the television announced.

"Shigeru, what the hell is up with you!?" Kirie growled at the game. "This is the last inning! You can't fail them now!" she urgently pressed as Yukinari rejoined her from his room.

"The last inning huh?" he asked sitting right beside her.

"Yes, the last one and the Mavericks are behind seven to eight" Kirie said with a heavy worry in her voice. "There's a Maverick on second base so if Shigeru could just hit this one out, he'll win this for the Mavericks for sure! It would be such a big win too!"

"So you think he can do it?"

"I don't know.. He's had incredible games before and he's been doing well enough 'til now. But the pitcher he's up against has a cannon for an arm!.. This is almost unbearable!" Kirie said with nervous jitters.

"Strike two!"

"You should just toss the bat at the pitch with a swing like that!" Kirie snapped angrily rubbing her hair in frustration. "Maybe then you'd hit it!"

"Why doesn't he then?" Tomoka asks in response to Kirie's reaction.

"Kirie was joking, Tomoka" Yukinari answered as Kirie buried her face in her hands.

"It, it all comes down to this" Kirie said raising her head. "Okay, let's get this over with" she says, eyes focused. The pitcher rotates the baseball in his hand and stares Shigeru down. Shigeru simply tightens the grip on his bat in defiance. The pitcher draws his hands to his chest and Kirie immediately recognizes the posture. "Oh no! Not that pitch! I can't look!" Kirie says burying her head into Yukinari's chest. "I can't look!"

"What pitch Kirie?" Yukinari questions but before she could answer, the Tokyo Titans's pitcher tosses the ball, his arm snapping forward like a mousetrap. The ball blazes through the air fast and hard, its path curving toward home plate. Shigeru swings just as fiercely, his speed matching the pitcher's own and the sound of the bat hitting the ball pierces the air. Kirie leaps out from Yukinari's arms to confirm what her ears had perceived.

"Did he get it!?" she demanded loudly.

"He got it!" Tomoka answers excitedly.

On-screen, as the ball soars through the air the Maverick on second base speeds to third, Shigeru to first. Two Titans run to intercept the ball as it falls toward Earth. "Don't catch it! Don't catch it!" Kirie shouts as the Titans players reach the edge of the field, both leap up with arms stretched and the ball, inches from their gloves, falls over the outfield fence to grant Shigeru an out-of-the-park home run, the stadium its cheers and jeers, and the Mavericks their victory. "Yess!" Kirie exclaims ecstatic. "Yes yes yess!" Kirie continued. "Shigeru did it! The dynasty is returning!"

"Nyaaah!" Ebi joins in the cheer, one arm raised.

"Hahahahahaa! Mavericks win! Mavericks win!" Kirie chanted lifting Ebi up into the air in celebration, the television broadcast joining in on the fanfare and Ebi smiling widely. The chants and cheers reached out to Yukinari's backyard where Koyomi sat reading. Hebi watched over Koyomi protectively as he tried to sunbathe nearby in the fading sunlight of dusk.

"Kirie sure is loud" Koyomi thought as she turned her gaze up from her book. Snapping the book shut, she picked up the stun baton Nina gave to her and waved it around. She activates it once, electricity snapping into existence between the two prongs. "How scary" Koyomi observed. "But maybe it's enough to keep the pervert away huh Hebi?" Koyomi directed at her python who was backing away intimidated. "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you" Koyomi apologized. Putting the stun baton away, she approaches Hebi and allows him to coil himself around her. "You're really cold Hebi! That's not good for you." Hebi simply flicks his tongue at Koyomi. "Let's head inside" Koyomi said after looking up at the darkening sky and she walked back indoors to rejoin the others.

"Sweet sweet victory! There's no greater feeling!" Kirie breathed with relief as her adrenaline fell. "What a rush!.."

"Hey Koyomi" Yukinari greeted as Koyomi entered the living room.

"Finally, it's over! Poyon's about to start!" Tomoka said seizing the remote.

"You say that like you weren't getting into it near the end" Kirie remarked grinning.

"No! Poyon is way better!" Tomoka countered.

"That's a shame. And here I thought you were acting rather mature for your age when you were enjoying some good ol' baseball. Maybe after you've done some growing up" Kirie teased making Tomoka twitch as though she had been jabbed with a finger.

"Tomo will have you know that Tomo holds a very high rank back in Seiren! So Tomo doesn't need any lip service from a boob monster! You can't get to Tomo no matter how hard you try!" Tomoka finished folding her arms.

"Yeah okay" Kirie swiftly answers dismissively. "Anyways, what a win!" she commented sitting next to Yukinari and Ebi. "If the Mavericks win the championship, let's go out and celebrate! I know a place where a bunch of Mavericks fans like to hang out."

"That sounds like a plan Kirie" Yukinari agreed.

"Nyah nyah" Ebi responds in agreement.

"Can't wait!" Kirie finished before turning to Koyomi. "Hey Koyomi."

"H-hello Kirie" Koyomi returned.

"How's it coming along? You ready to teach Fukuyama a lesson the next time he tries something funny?"

"I, I don't know" Koyomi admits.

"The stun baton should be enough" Yukinari said. "Just hit him with that if he tries anything."

"Or punch the bastard straight in the jaw!" Kirie commanded.

"I will try that" Koyomi says putting on a brave face.

"Good! Or kick him you-know-where" Kirie instructed with a grin.

"I-I will consider that next time" Koyomi responds.

"Very good!" Kirie finished.

That night, Koyomi and Tomoka slept in the bedroom once occupied by Yukinari's parents as they always did since they had come to visit. Ebi slept in the same room in a crib Kirie once slept in as an infant, a crib Kirie's mother had preserved impeccably. It was not because Ebi could not sleep in a normal bed, the crib was put there at Tomoka's insistence fearing her alleged grown-up body could crush Ebi in her sleep.

In Yukinari's room, Kirie stood before Yukinari who was seated on his bed. "Where you sleeping Kirie?"

"I'm sleeping with you tonight, duh" Kirie answered as she took a seat right next to Yukinari.

"You are?" Yukinari asked incredulous.

"We ARE dating" Kirie reminded. "And who's gonna stop us from sharing a bed?" Kirie asked as Yukinari was drawn to the thighs and cleavage allowed by her silk nightgown. "No one stopped us before and you're not gonna stop it, I know that" Kirie said in response to Yukinari's gaze. "Like what you see?" the brunette asked getting up suddenly and twirling and posing for Yukinari in suggestive manners.

"Y-you bet!" Yukinari was quick to answer.

"This is a new nightgown by the way. Hope you like it" Kirie said.

"You look amazing in it!" a titillated Yukinari praised.

"Does it show just enough..?" Kirie asked as she gestured at her chest and pelvis. "Enough to get you going?"

"It shows just enough, it's a real tease!"

"Hahahaha! You perv!" Kirie joked. "You like a good tease?"

"Can never go wrong with a good tease!" Yukinari explains while resisting the urge to ravage Kirie right then and there. "S-sorry, I should do my part..."

"Lose the shirt if you wanna help" Kirie requests.

"Shirt coming off" Yukinari complies revealing his modestly-chiseled features.

"Hot!" Kirie compliments.

"Your parents are okay with this Kirie?"

"With what?"

"You staying over" Yukinari clarified.

"Sure! Why not?" Kirie said simply as she closed in on her boyfriend. "Now stop your worrying you worrywart!"

"O-okay, let me just check see if I have a rubber" Yukinari said searching through his bedside table.

"No worries, I'm on the pill" Kirie reveals with bedroom eyes. "Started taking it not too long ago. Also checked my calendar, we should be safe."

"You did all that?" Yukinari asked impressed.

"You betcha! You know what that means..." Kirie says seductively.

"...Yeah."

"Come to mama!" Kirie says as she pounces.

"Whoa!" Yukinari lets out as he catches the pounce.

The very next morning, Yukinari awoke with Kirie firmly in his arms, Kirie's face buried in his chest. Her soft, steady breathing threatened to lull him back to sleep and her silk-soft skin and nightgown made it nearly impossible to tear away from her. He would lie there all day if he could and the alarm clock had not gone off yet so he had some time to just cuddle with Kirie a little more and that he did: he rubbed Kirie's bare shoulder and then ran his fingers through Kirie's long hair... that ran down her back... Finally opening his eyes, he finds that Kirie's hair had lengthened and turned silver, her skin had been covered with purple markings, and her chest had flattened... He seizes his mouth before he could shout from shock at his discovery of the two girls sleeping in his bed. The actual Kirie was sound asleep opposite his side of the bed. Yukina, leader of Seiren's Space Management Bureau's Special Forces Division, was asleep right in between the two. Yukinari falls out off bed gripping his mouth to stop himself from shouting in shock. Slowly and carefully he gets up off the floor and sits at the edge of his bed.

"Okay Yukinari... What the hell happened last night!?" Yukinari questioned himself quietly but with great urgency. Immediately, he recalled the previous night and he was certain he was only with Kirie. He looks around searching for some sort of clue as to how Yukina had gotten inside, not to mention when and why. Thankfully, he had little reason to worry about Kirie's reaction since she knew who Yukinari was with last night... But then again, what of Yukina? Yukinari reminded himself that Yukina, in response to being unable to touch men, decided to kidnap Miharu and try to seal the link between Earth and Seiren. He had to deal with Yukina delicately especially since surely Yukina had seen Yukinari and Kirie sharing the same bed when she had somehow gotten into the room. Yukinari did not have long to think about any of this as Yukina began to stir. She opens her eyes and spots Yukinari standing there in shock.

"Good morning Yukinari" she greets lifting the blanket off of her revealing she was wearing absolutely nothing. Before Yukinari could say anything, Yukina leaps off of the bed and pounces on him. "Oh Yukinari! I missed you sooo much!" she sung hugging Yukinari tightly. "How long has it bee- Yukinari! What, what's this!?" Yukina posed as she probed Yukinari's firm chest and arms.

"Yu-Yukina, let's get you some clothes" Yukinari said in alarm seizing Yukina's hands and trying to hurriedly maneuver her out of the room.

"But I hate clothes!" Yukina objected resisting Yukinari's movements. "And I'm not done" she said returning to grabbing Yukinari's body.

"Please stop Yukina" Yukinari commanded seizing Yukina's hands a second time.

"Yu-Yukina!?" Kirie, waking up, exclaims making both Yukinari and Yukina jump in surprise. "What the hell is going on!?"

"Who's she?" Yukina asked looking over at Kirie who was covering up with a blanket.

"Kirie, just a sec! Let's go Yukina" Yukinari said pushing Yukina out of his room more forcefully this time.

"What's Yukina doing here!?" Kirie demanded with alarm.

"Sorry Kirie, please just give me a quick second" Yukinari pleaded right before departing the room. Closing the door, he leaves Kirie alone in his room. He hurries Yukina off to his parents' bedroom where Koyomi, Tomoka, and Ebi were sound asleep.

"Where are we going?" Yukina asked as Yukinari knocked on the door.

"To get you dressed" Yukinari says firmly pulling a nude Yukina along. "Walk inside and look through the drawers for something that fits you" he commands avoiding looking at her and pushes Yukina into his parents' room.

"But I don't kno-" Yukina begins but is cut off by Yukinari closing the door.

"I'm sure Koyomi won't mind Yukina borrowing some of her clothes" Yukinari told himself. "Better go talk to Kirie. She's probably freaking out right now" he recalls heading back where he finds Kirie fitting herself into her school uniform.

"Yukinari, what's Yukina doing here!?" Kirie questioned swiftly.

"Kirie, I'd like to know too. I woke up and there she was and I was as shocked as you were" Yukinari explained.

"I'll question her myself then" Kirie said heading toward the door. "Who does she think she is getting into our bed like that? Naked even!"

"Wait wait wait Kirie" Yukinari said intercepting the brunette. "I don't think that's a good idea."

"What are you talking about?"

"Kirie, Yukina had Miharu kidnapped and she tried sealing the link between Earth and Seiren because she had an allergy to men. I think it's best to deal with her carefully. From the very short time she spent here on Earth last time, I suspect Yukina might be obsessed with me and if she finds out about the kind of relationship you and I have... I fear what her reaction might be..."

"Tch. What's the worst she could do?" Kirie challenged with arms folded.

"Kirie, she has telekinetic powers!" Yukinari reveals in alarm. Kirie looks at him incredulously. "Just like Miharu and Koyomi have star marks on their foreheads that give them their powers, Yukina has star marks all over her body! This lets her move things with her mind! I've confronted her before when we rescued Miharu, Miharu and I have seen her use her powers firsthand."

"You can't be serious. How did I never learn about this?"

"She didn't stay here on Earth long and I don't recall ever seeing her using them outside of Seiren" Yukinari recalls.

"So then what do we do?" Kirie asks.

"Right now, I just wish to know why she's here. Also, I think it's best she think you and I are just friends."

"...Right, I understand... So I guess no more displays of affection?" Kirie asks disappointed.

"Just not in her presence" Yukinari says feeling just as disappointed as Kirie was.

"So where is she now?"

"She's in my parents' room where the others are sleeping. I sent her in there to get dressed" Yukinari said getting into his own school uniform. "Now let's go check up on her" Yukinari said and both he and Kirie head to his parents's bedroom.

"Well I for one would like to see her powers in action."

"She'll show them if you piss her off. In other words, let's not" Yukinari responds worriedly. "Kirie, I'd prefer you go in first" he tells Kirie as they stood in front of the room.

"Why?"

"Well, I'd rather not barge into a room where girls are sleeping" Yukinari said apprehensively. "Just doesn't seem right."

"Oh jeez Yukinari, they're just sleeping" Kirie retorts as she enters the room. Inside, she finds clothes strewn about the room and Yukina searching frantically through several of the dressers. She was no longer naked and instead was wearing jogging pants underneath a set of white panties. Underneath a long-sleeved shirt hung a bra loosely, a bra much too large for her chest.

"This is why I hate clothes! They're so awkward!" Yukina whined to Tomoka and Koyomi who had just woken up. "These gloves aren't working!"

"Socks don't go on your hands" Tomoka squeaks.

"Socks?" Yukina says examining her sock-covered hands.

"They go on your feet" Tomoka continues.

"Why would you wear these on your feet?" Yukina challenges.

"Good morning everyone" Kirie announces after clearing her throat.

"Oh! Good morning Kirie" Koyomi greets.

"Yukinari, you can come in" Kirie says behind her.

"Is it okay?"

"Yes, they're awake" Kirie reveals at which point Yukinari finally enters.

"Who are you?" Yukina directs at the strange brunette.

"You mean you don't know who I am!?" Kirie asks masking an annoyance under her breath. She wanted to let Yukina know that she was one of the girls who participated in rescuing Miharu, helped to halt Yukina's devious plot, and Yukinari's significant other but she ultimately heeded Yukinari's words.

"Not a clue" Yukina responds not abandoning her search.

"My name's Kirie Kojima, age 16. Earthling" Kirie says proudly.

"My name's Yukina, age 15. Seirenian" Yukina returns digging her entire arms into another drawer and tossing a bundle of clothes down onto the floor adding to the growing mess of clothes in the room.

"Yukina" Yukinari begins, "are you here visiting?"

"Yes I am, it's my day off! I didn't get to stay here long last time so I'd like to make the most of this visit today!" she says cheerfully as she sifted through a pile of clothes on the floor.

"You're going to pick those up right?" Kirie asked looking at all the clothing strewn about.

"Yeah sure, it should be a cinch" Yukina waved off confidently.

"Psst, Koyo" Tomoka whispers, "maybe now's our chance for a promotion!" she says hopping out of bed. Koyomi meanwhile was simply too distracted by Yukinari's presence refusing to get out from under her blanket. "Here! Let Tomo help!" she said before getting on her knees and sifting through the piles. "Tomo's name is Tomo by the way! Tomo works for the Space Travel Agency!"

"Could you at least pick up the piles you're done searching through?" Kirie asked hoping to see what Yukina would do next.

"Ugh!.. Fine!" Yukina sighs rolling her eyes. Suddenly, the markings on her body glow and several articles of clothing levitate. Just as quickly they are folded in the air and fly into the drawers which close right after. All that remained afterwards were two piles Yukina and Tomoka were still looking through. "There."

"Skillfully done!" Tomoka compliments.

"Okay, very good! I'll go get breakfast ready. Yukinari, gonna need your help" Kirie said as she made her way out.

"Gotcha" Yukinari agrees as he follows closing the door behind him.

"...Well, Yukina's telekinetic powers have been confirmed. So now what?" Kirie asked concerned.

"Yukina said she was here on vacation and I believe she mentioned something about visiting today. Based on this, I think it's only for one day" Yukinari inferred.

"So then we babysit her until the day's over?"

"Pretty much" Yukinari confirmed. Both stand there quietly for a moment.

"...I get the feeling it's going to be a long day today" Kirie predicts in distress and both sigh. "...I'll get breakfast ready."

"I'll help" Yukinari offered as he followed Kirie into the kitchen. Several moments later, with breakfast assembled, Ebi was the very first to descend the stairs and immediately make her way to the table.

"Good morning Ebi!" Kirie greets brightly as she adds the last touches to breakfast.

"Hello Ebi! You're looking rested" Yukinari added as Ebi climbed a chair.

"Nyah nyah" Ebi meowed.

"If you think about it, we won't really have to babysit Yukina. I'm sure she can take care of herself" Kirie said as she hung a napkin off of Ebi's shirt collar.

"You might be right. She has people who work for her doesn't she? Miss Hijiri worked for her right?"

"Yes. And please don't remind me about her" Kirie requested. "Whatever the case, we might not have to worry about Yukina until after school."

"Let's hope so" Yukinari concludes as he served Ebi a bowl of warm oatmeal.

"So every morning, Yukinari and Kirie walk together to school along with Seiichirou and Miharu" Tomoka elaborated for Yukina as they both descended the stairs.

"So Earth has schools too, huh? I'd love to try one out!" Yukina said as she took a seat at the table right next to Yukinari. Yukinari and Kirie turn alarmed to see her dressed in a seifuku, the school uniform of Mizuno High.

"I'm sure they can give you a tour!" Tomoka answered brightly. "They're like the schools back in Seiren and the uniform you're wearing is the one they wear! You'll fit right in!"

"That's wonderful!" Yukina declares cheerfully. "I've never gone to school back in Seiren so this will be so much fun!" At that moment, Koyomi descended the stairs.

"G-good morning Miss Yukina!" Koyomi made sure to greet as she has a seat at the table.

"Good morning!" Yukina made sure to greet back cheerfully.

"You've never gone to school back in Seiren!?" Tomoka gasped.

"I had my own army of private tutors" Yukina explained. "Hello, who might you be?" she directed at Ebi who answered the only way she knew.

"Nyah nyah" she said as she spooned warm oatmeal into her mouth.

"You'll never guess who she is! She's Ebi, Tomo's pet catfish! Tomo turned her into a human using Tomo's magic!" Tomoka boasted taking a seat. "As you can see, Tomo is very gifted and Tomo takes very good care of her!"

"No you don't!" Kirie objected as she sat next to Yukinari opposite Yukina. "You just shove her off on everyo-"

"So anyways" Tomoka interrupted loudly, "bet you can't wait to go to school today eh Yukina!?"

"I am so excited!" Yukina said turning to the breakfast that had been prepared for her. "Yukinari my love, will you feed me? Aaaa" Yukina asked opening her mouth awaiting to be fed. Yukinari struggles to come up with a way of dealing with the awkward situation. Before he could react, Kirie takes advantage of the fact that Yukina's eyes were closed and feeds Yukina herself. "That tastes really good Yukinari!" Yukina complimented.

"Kirie cooked it! Her tamagoyaki is to die for!" Yukinari reveals.

"Wonderfully done Kirie!" Yukina praises.

"Thank you" Kirie answers stoically.

"One more time Yukinari!" Yukina asks again, her mouth open just the same ready to be fed by her beloved. Just the same, Kirie sneaks another serving of breakfast into Yukina's mouth. She glares at Tomoka who struggles against the urge to giggle.

"What's so funny?" Kirie whispers, teeth clenched.

"Serves you right" Tomoka hisses back. Koyomi bows her head in shame. "Tomo missed Poyon because of you!"

"You've seen that episode seven times already!" Kirie counters under her breath as Yukinari and Yukina distracted each other.

"How would you know?" Tomoka pressed.

"Because" Kirie responds as she stealthily feeds Yukina a third time, "you've watched it seven times!" she says with an exhausted frustration in her voice.

"Since you've fed me Yukinari, now I'll feed you!" Yukina offers lifting a serving of Yukinari's breakfast and hovering it near his mouth.

"I'm sorry Kirie" Yukinari thought as he accepted Yukina's offering.

"You know, as much as I'd like for you to accompany us to school" Kirie directed at Yukina as everyone neared finishing breakfast, "I'm afraid since you're not a student at the school, you won't be allowed entry. I'm very sorry Yukina."

"Really!?" Yukina and Tomoka both exclaim in unison.

"That's right. It's a darn shame too" Kirie says tossing a quick glare at Tomoka. Tomoka responds by pulling out a mobile phone from somewhere in her person.

"Oh, well what will I do now?" Yukina asks distressed.

"Tell you what: you wait for us here and when we get back from school, we'll show you a good time!" Kirie offered. "We'll take you to all the hot spots and tourist attractions this small town has to offer! What do you say?"

"Th-that sounds like a plan!" Yukina answers happily.

"Nonsense!" Fukuyama cut across.

"Fukuyama!?" Yukinari and Kirie gasp at the sight of Fukuyama descending the stairs.

"Kyaah!" Koyomi shrieks as she runs to take cover behind Yukinari and Kirie. Immediately, she searches her person for her stun baton only to realize she had left it upstairs.

"Nyaa nyaa!" Ebi cries out as she hops off of her chair.

"Greetings everyone!" Fukuyama howls, an arm raised high.

"What the hell do you want!?" Kirie growls as she lifts Ebi up into her protective arms.

"Relax Kirie! I'm here for someone else" Fukuyama said as he approached Yukina's side. "Hello there!"

"Who are you?" Yukina asked the blonde stranger.

"My name is Kazuharu Fukuyama of the Fukuyama Family" Fukuyama introduced as he seized and kissed the back of Yukina's hand. "Welcome to Earth!"

"What do you want!?" Yukina demands pulling her hand away defensively. Tomoka steps forward.

"Yukina, Tomo called big brother Kazuharu to help you get to school!"

"Is he really!?" Yukina said feeling re-energized.

"That's right! Big brother Kazuharu is going to handle all the complex paper work and you will get to go to Mizuno High, no problem!" Tomoka assured.

"Oh, that's wonderful!" Yukina said gratefully.

"What the hell are you up to Fukuyama!?" Kirie demands loudly.

"I'm not up to anything! I just wish to welcome Yukina to planet Earth!" Fukuyama said with an air of phony righteousness. "And gain access to that world filled with nothing but man-hungry women!" he schemed to himself.

"You've always been up to something for as long as I've known you!" Kirie accused. "And how will you get Yukina into school!? She's not a student there!"

"As if I'd tell you! I'll give you a hint though: every man has his price! Hihihihihihihihihi!" Fukuyama laughs triumphantly. "It worked for Miharu, it'll work for Yukina too!"

"I'm not the least bit surprised" Kirie says as the imagery of the principal being paid off visits her.

"Get out of my house Fukuyama" Yukinari commanded authoritatively.

"Ooh! Touchy!" Fukuyama mocked as he made his way out. "Come! Our limo awaits!"

"Of course! Let's go Yukina!" Tomoka commands following. Yukina follows Fukuyama and Tomoka outside.

"I don't know how to feel about this..." Yukinari admits. "On the one hand, Yukina's no longer our problem. On the other hand, Fukuyama's up to something and I can't help but feel an obligation to make sure he doesn't try anything funny."

"Not our problem anymore" Kirie was quick to eagerly dismiss. "I'm sure Yukina can take care of herself after all."

-TRANSITION-

"Hey! Tomo thought we were going to school!" Tomoka protested as she noticed the limo she was sharing with Yukina and Fukuyama had passed by Mizuno High.

"She'll be coming to Mizuno High soon enough" Fukuyama said caressing a suit case. "For now, I have a better place in mind."

"Do you?" Yukina asked intrigued.

"Yes! The Mizuno Town Carnival!" Fukuyama announces as the limo pulls to a stop before a large gathering of brightly-adorned carnival tents, amusement park rides like a ferris wheel and roller coasters, and even some horses passing by with people riding.

"This looks boring!" Tomoka condemns looking at the site.

"Ooh! This looks fun!" Yukina praises.

"Y-yes, lots of fun!" Tomoka agrees.

"Yukina, I wish to show you a lovely time here on Earth. Will you join me?" Fukuyama said getting down on one knee and presenting his gloved palm.

"Umm.. Okay!" Yukina shrugged and accepted the hand.

"Let us go!" Fukuyama says leading the way into the carnival leaving an irritated Tomoka behind.

"Hmmm, the stupid pervert might upstage Tomo if Tomo's not careful" Tomoka thought to herself. "Gonna have to try to stay one step ahead if Tomo wants that promotion" she thought before following.

"The caramel apple" Fukuyama said offering Yukina a caramel apple. "Let us start this carnival trek right."

"Looks yummy" Yukina said reaching for the treat.

"This is way better!" Tomoka intercepts handing Yukina a large helping of cotton candy.

"It's way softer and yummier than some rock-hard sour apple" Tomoka said as she bit at some cotton candy of her own.

"Ooh! It's like cotton!" Yukina said fascinated by the treat. "It melts in my mouth!"

"Delicious isn't it?" Tomoka asks.

"Super delicious, I must bring this to Seiren!" Yukina praises. "Thanks Tomoka! I'll have this" Yukina says turning away from Fukuyama's offering.

"Let's go to the next stand!" Tomoka says taking the lead.

"Let's!" Yukina agrees. Fukuyama was now left behind with his apple.

"Yukina is my ticket to my all-female paradise" Fukuyama thought to himself before biting his caramel apple. "Tomoka, if it's war you want then it's war you shall have!" he declares as the two Seiren girls walk off.

"So delicious!" Yukina said enjoying her cotton candy.

"Glad to see you enjoying the candy!" Tomoka said as a helping melted in her mouth.

"I want to taste more Earthling treats" Yukina said.

"Oh there is so much just waiting for you to enjoy" Tomoka ensures. "Not to worry, Tomoka Lana Jude's been on Earth long enough, she will help you experience only the best!"

"Please do!" Yukina asked eagerly.

"Step right up! Step right up!" a blonde man with a large, gray moustache announced from within a nearby stand.

"Listen to him! Where does that man want us to step to?" Yukina asked Tomoka.

"Not a clue. Let's go find out" Tomoka suggests and the two approach the man.

"Hello ladies!" the blonde man greets. "How's about a little game?"

"Okay, sure! What sort of game?" Yukina asks as Tomoka looks at the man suspiciously.

"A simple yet fun little game" the man says indicating the table before him atop which sat three upside-down cups. "See the marble?" the man asks lifting one of the cups.

"Oh, I know this game!" Yukina lets out.

"Excellent! Then let us play!" the man says and begins to shuffle the cups about rapidly. "Follow the cup!" he says before halting the shuffle. "Pick a cup, any cup!"

"Hmmm" Yukina wondered as Tomoka continued eyeing the man suspiciously. "This one!"

"Congratulations!" the man sung lifting the cup to reveal a marble. "That was the right one!"

"Yay! Do I win something?" Yukina asked.

"Of course!" the man said taking his moustache off revealing himself to be Kazuharu Fukuyama. "My undying love" he says offering Yukina a large red rose.

"Undying love?" Yukina repeats sounding somewhat confused.

"You stupid pervert!" Tomoka exclaims after knocking over the other cups to reveal marbles under them as well. "You big cheat!"

"T-Tomoka! You brat!" Fukuyama condemned. "My priority lies in making sure Yukina has the best time of her life here."

"But a game without challenge is boring!" Tomoka counters. "You're boring!" she condemns before pulling Yukina away. "Watch Tomo show Yukina a REAL game! And win her a REAL prize!" At a different carnival stand and armed with a water gun, Tomoka takes aim and shoots at a bullseye.

"Ha! Two can play at that game!" Fukuyama challenges with some water gun shooting of his own.

"Here!" Fukuyama and Tomoka exclaim shortly after presenting stuffed animal prizes to Yukina.

"For me?" Yukina said accepting the prizes. "Thanks!" Yukina said but before long, Fukuyama and Tomoka were off racing each other to win more prizes.

Tomoka tries her skill at a ring toss stand while Fukuyama takes a shot at goldfish scooping. Tomoka returns with another stuffed doll and Fukuyama returns with a coupon for a free item at the carnival souvenir stand. Tomoka then tries to pop balloons with darts at another stand while Fukuyama orders an ice slushie figuring the games were silly.

"A cool new mug for Yukina!" Tomoka said handing Yukina a mug.

"Thanks!"

"An ice slushie for this warm carnival weather" Fukuyama said handing over the cool refreshment.

"Looks yummy, thanks!"

"Brand new mittens!" Tomoka announced excitedly.

"A cool mask!" Fukuyama exclaimed presenting a fox mask.

"A lovely summer hat! Keep the sun out of your eyes!" Tomoka lets out placing the hat on Yukina's head.

"Shades! Can't have a summer hat without the shades!" Fukuyama says affixing the shades on Yukina's face.

"Scalp massager!"

"Back scratcher!"

"Free manicure!"

"Free pedicure!"

"New toothbrush!"

"Mouthwash!"

"Phone case!"

"Lottery entry!"

"Gift card!"

"Video game!"

After having raced each other about the carnival, Fukuyama and Tomoka stood before Yukina attempting to catch their breaths.

"Snow globe" Tomoka said breathing heavily.

"My autograph" Fukuyama said also sucking in air.

"This is all super nice" Yukina said holding up a large collection of gifts, "but I'd really like to try out the rides now" she says turning her gaze towards a roller coaster. Tomoka and Fukuyama turn their gaze similarly.

"R-roller coaster, right! Right away!" Fukuyama says recovering and speeding towards the roller coaster.

"Hey! Tomo will go on a ride too!" Tomoka exclaims giving chase. Shortly after, the two return looking pleased.

"Lovely ride, highly recommended" Fukuyama reports.

"The spinning cups were super fun!" Tomoka praised.

"What about me?" Yukina asks with a pout. Tomoka and Fukuyama slap their foreheads with their palms.

"I was simply making sure that the ride was safe for your riding" Fukuyama was quick to excuse as he lead Yukina back towards the roller coaster. "I have confirmed it is safe to ride now let us go!" The three set off to the roller coaster ride only to be met with bad news.

"I'm sorry but you must be taller to ride" the ride attendant objected when Tomoka tried to get on.

"What!?" Tomoka let out loudly. "Tomo will have you know that she is an adult! Tomo can handle any ride you throw at her!"

"My apologies but you cannot enter this attraction" was the attendant's response. "Legally, we cannot allow you on."

"That should keep her busy" Fukuyama thought with an amused chuckle as Tomoka and the attendant argued. Climbing onto the ride, Fukuyama and Yukina sat waiting for the roller coaster to start. "With Tomoka occupied, now's my chance" the blonde pervert thought. With a pretend yawn, Fukuyama manages to get an arm around Yukina. "The classic!"

"Hey! Don't touch me!" Yukina objected. "I don't like being touched by men!"

"I just need to make sure you're safe" Fukuyama tried to excuse.

"No man can touch me except Yukinari!" Yukina objects further.

"Punynari!?" Fukuyama parrots. "I'm five times more man than he could ever hope to be. It's my impeccably-carved pecs and abs that will ensure your safety on this dangerous ride" he says as the safety bar came forward and the ride began to move. "Now come to papa!" he exclaims pulling Yukina in close.

"Let go!" Yukina shouts angrily as the ride sped forward.

"Oh no! This is soo scary!" Fukuyama fake cried as he continued to hold Yukina tightly with the ride speeding about.

"I said let go!" Yukina shouted angrily. From the ground, Tomoka watched closely through binoculars.

"This is the stupid pervert we're talking about so any second now..." As if on cue, Tomoka catches sight of Fukuyama's body flying out of the roller coaster ride, across the sky, and crashing through the roof of a tent in the distance. "Yup! Knew it!" Once the ride was done, Yukina exited looking displeased. "Hey Yukina! Enjoy the ride?" Tomoka asks approaching.

"No" Yukina said irked. "I don't like men touching me. Only Yukinari can touch me."

"Perfectly understandable" Tomoka said patting Yukina's arm. "But no worries! Plenty other rides in this joint for us to go on!"

"Yes but after, I wish to go to school where Yukinari is" Yukina reveals.

"S-sure! For now, let's enjoy this place to its fullest before then" Tomoka said.

"Yes. Let's go" Yukina agrees and the two set off to try the rest of the attractions.

"Check me out!" Tomoka asked in the crazy mirror tent where she admired a reflection of herself looking taller. The two Seiren girls screamed inside the spinning UFO ride that pinned them to the inner walls of the ride itself.

"There's Yukinari's house!" Yukina said while riding the ferris wheel, Tomoka seated beside her.

"Really?" Tomoka, armed with binoculars, takes a look. "Oh, it is!"

"May I?" Yukina asked.

"Sure!" Tomoka said handing over the binoculars.

"Makes the world feel small, doesn't it?" Tomoka asks.

"Definitely!" Yukina agrees. "...Where is Yukinari's school?"

"I think that may be too far away" Tomoka answers.

"Oh, that's a shame... I was hoping to see it from up here."

At the end of their carnival visit, Tomoka and Yukina made their way to Mizuno High readying a visit to the school.

"I had a lot of fun today and I have no one but you to thank! Tomoka Lana Jude!" Yukina told Tomoka with praise.

"Not a problem! But the day's not complete!" Tomoka answered with glee. "Next up! Mizuno High!"

"Do you think I'll be allowed in?" Yukina asked. "I only ask for one day."

"I'm sure they'll let you in! I've got the skeleton key courtesy of the stupid pervert right here" Tomoka says holding up a suit case and patting it. "He may be stupid and he may be a pervert but he comes through when he needs to come through. Wish I could thank him right now, wherever he is."

Meanwhile, Fukuyama stood before what remained of the carnival tent with its attendant, a middle-aged man, next to him.

"You're paying for all damages young man" the attendant demanded firmly.

"Please" Fukuyama retorts just as firmly. "Name a figure, I'll pay it" he says pulling out a check book.

"Hmph! That's more like it!" the man said. "Now, let's see..."

"Dad, damages are real bad" a young and attractive woman said assessing the damages.

"Dad, give us a second, we gotta tally up what's owed" another young and attractive woman said pulling out a calculator.

"You're gonna pay dad every cent" a third girl, as attractive as the other two, directed at Fukuyama. Fukuyama was left speechless for a moment.

"...Oh, well what do you know? I just remembered I'm broke!" Fukuyama suddenly said tearing up a half-finished check.

"Broke!? Well you're working for free then 'til you've paid it off!" the man said handing Fukuyama a broom. "Now get cleaning!"

"Right away sir! Right away!" Fukuyama says checking out the three girls as the man walks off. "When life gives you lemons, pursue the ladies!" Fukuyama thought as proud and pompous as ever.
