Many thanks to those who read and reviewed this fic. I really appreciated it and this gave me inspiration to work on the next chapter, but first a brief explanation…

Last chapter I said that this fic would conclude once the chancellor and his cohorts are defeated, but I realized that Maizono is still here, and acts as Sonia's foil, hence I decided to make an impromptu final arc to explain Maizono's actions while being here at Novoselic ILLEGALLY…

Now then, with the chancellor and his allies are finally jailed, Naegi will spend his remaining days at Novoselic, and there Maizono is determined to SAVE him…so expect her to come up with wild ways to keep him and Sonia apart in this final story arc…

Well then, read on and enjoy!


Ch. 51: Sayaka no Shenanigans

Two days later, the king of Novoselic announced that a Thanksgiving party will be held, and Naegi will be the guest of honor, which delegates and the media are invited, and upon hearing this, Naegi tried to turn the invitation down feeling that it was unnecessary for him, but the Royal PR assured that it is okay, seeing that Naegi is being humbled and wanted to avoid unwanted attention.

He also told Naegi that it is an honor and that the public will appreciate him after he saved Novoselic from the hands of the Prime Minister and the chancellor, and all he would do is just dine and talk to delegates, just like he did at the Royal Ball.

"…and that's what you'll do…"

"Well…"

"You'll be fine, Naegi."

"Still…I feel…"

"You don't have to be embarrassed…you are the guest because you saved our country…"

"I think some people would think that…"

"Nonsense. They are receptive towards you."

"…"

The Royal PR also assured that things will be okay as there is no one here to bully him, and this finally persuaded Naegi to accept the invitation, seeing that the Royal PR is right as the chancellor is jailed thus no one would pick on him again.

As the Royal PR left, Naegi pondered on what to do next, and one of the maids approached Naegi and gave him some formal clothes, telling him that the party will start tonight, surprising him as he assumed that the party would take place in a few days from now, and this made him feel anxious but the kind maid assured to him that things will be okay.

"Do not worry."

"Really?"

"Yes. you are the guest of honor. And you are the hero of Novoselic."

"Well..i don't see myself as one. I'm just an ordinary boy."

"But you are special."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"…"

After that, the maid left, and Naegi sighed as he stared at the clothes given to him, but another maid approached him and spoke to him in Japanese, surprising him, but then the maid partially lifted her wig, revealing herself to be Maizono, surprising him further and he asked her what is she doing here, and there she told him the reason why.

Naegi stared wide-eyed and told her that she will only get herself in trouble, but she assured to him that she will RESCUE him from Sonia, much to his dismay as he tried to tell her that he is set to leave Novoselic in a few days from now.

"You shouldn't have done that, Maizono-san…"

"What's done is done. I'm here to save you…"

"You don't have to. I'm due to leave Novoselic in a few days from now…"

"Well, I'm taking you before that comes. You can't stay here."

"No."

"You can't, Naegi-kun,"

"Why are you…?"

"Because…"

As Maizono insists that he needs to be rescued, Naegi reiterated that the Royal family has treated him well and said that he will not betray them and told her to stop this foolishness as Sonia is a good person and not some FOREIGN OPPORTUNIST that the SHSL Idol claims.

Maizono twitched her eyes seeing that Naegi wouldn't budge and assume that he has been brainwashed and resolve to get him out of Novoselic as soon as possible. However, she is interrupted when the head of the maids came and dragged the disguised Maizono away, reminding her that the party starts tonight and she has to work extra hard, though Maizono had to stay silent as the head maid ranted.

"Come on, now…"

"Eh…?"

"We got work to do…"

"Uh…"

"You have no time to slack."

"…"

"You have to do the chores and all…"

"…"

Naegi sweat-dropped at what he is seeing, and wondered if he should confide to Sonia about this as he knew what trouble would cause once Maizono is exposed and might cause tension between Novoselic and Japan.

-x-

Later that night, the Thanksgiving party took place, and the Royal family are in attendance as the king and queen entertain the guests while Sonia spoke with the delegates, and things went well as Naegi is also there though he is sitting on a chair as he opted not to stand out and behave himself so as not to give a questionable impression.

Some of the guests saw him and guessed that he is behaving himself so as not to attract attention, and this impressed them seeing that Naegi wanted to show that he did not let fame get to his head and the observers see that Naegi is being humble.

"Look at that…"

"He is really a humbled boy…"

"Indeed."

"It shows that he did not let fame get to him. He knows how to keep himself grounded."

"A gentle boy he is."

"My respect for him has increased…"

"Yes."

"He should be rewarded…"

Maizono is also there, still disguised as a maid and is serving drinks to the guests, and she stealthily eyed Sonia, looking for a chance to make her move so as to discourage her from getting close to Naegi, but her trail of thoughts was interrupted as the head maid gave her a tray of glasses with drinks and told her to give them to other guests.

"Here."

"Eh?"

"Deliver these drinks to the guests."

"But…"

"No buts. Work."

"…"

"And I mean pronto."

"…"

As the minutes went by, everything went well, and Sonia approached Naegi and asked him if he is okay, which he assured to her that he is okay and that he is just behaving so as not to give detractors a reason to make rumors about him.

He also said that this is better so that he wouldn't attract unnecessary attention, which she became impressed by his humbleness.

"Naegi…"

"And that's that…"

"You sure are a kind boy."

"Uh…"

"You don't have to isolate yourself. just enjoy the party and try talking to some guests. I am sure they will be receptive towards you."

"Really?"

"Yes."

"…"

By then the Royal PR came and said more delegates have arrived, and Sonia excuses herself as she goes to accommodate the visitors, and Naegi is left alone, and began to eat his food so as to pass up the time, and wait out until the party ends.

The scene shifts to the visitors, and among them is a Native American tribal chief residing at a town within the capital of Novoselic, identified as Chief Pan-Z, and accompanying him is his pet bear, dressed in a wrestling shorts with a Native American motif, wearing boots and a Native American headdress. The bear is cosplaying as WWE legend Tatanka, and sports a rather serious look as Chief Pan-Z told his pet bear to stay at a corner and behave himself.

"Now then, Tatanka…"

"…"

"Stay here…"

"…"

"Try meditating…it will help."

"…"

"Now behave."

"…"

As "Tatanka" went to a corner and stood like an Indian warrior, Naegi wondered if the Native American guest met up with Tanaka and gave the chief the bear as a gift, and by then Sonia began greeting the guests and things went well, until the disguised Maizono saw this and found a way to make her move, as she approached Sonia and gave her a plate of peanuts.

"Excuse me…"

"Yes…?"

"Here…have some peanuts, princess…"

"Oh, thank you."

"Make sure you EAT them well."

"?"

"See you."

"…"

As Sonia took the plate, Maizono went to a hiding place as it turns out that she has three pieces of peanuts in her palms, and her eyes are aiming at "Tatanka", intending to provoke the bear and have it assault Sonia, and there she would discreetly try to persuade Naegi to escape Novoselic with her and head back to Japan and be together.

By then Sonia called Naegi and had him introduced to Chief Pan-Z and the two greeted, there the Royal PR told Sonia that another guest wishes to talk to her, and Sonia hurriedly gave the small plate to Naegi as went off.

Maizono failed to notice that Sonia gave the plate of penuts to Naegi, and discreetly aimed her hand and flicked her fingers, sending the first nut and struck the bear on the head, which is quite annoying, and there she did it again, and the impact was irritating, which the bear twitched his eyes in irritation, yet tried to maintain composure and behaved.

Then Maizono did it again and it entered the bear's nostril and this pissed him off as he removed the peanut and saw it, where he turn around to find the culprit, unaware that Maizono is behind all this, and this triggered a series of events.

"Tatanka" turn around and saw Naegi standing there, the plate that the boy is holding, and saw the peanuts, and glancing at his paw, it was the same peanut, and the bear believe that Naegi assaulted him and started to so the Native American war dance, which Naegi sensed that something is about to happen, unaware of the bear intending to get even on the wrong person.

"Huh?"

"…"

"Wh-what's…?"

"…"

"W-wait…what are you…?"

"…"

"C-calm down! What did I…?"

"…"

Despite Naegi pleading to the bear to calm down, "Tatanka" began his vengeful assault as he delivered a series of jumping Tomahawk chops on Naegi's head, causing him to stagger back, and the bear continue his attack, and the guests saw what is happening, and one of them told the other that someone has to tell Sonia about this.

"That bear has gone wild!"

"That boy is being assaulted!"

"Quick! Get help!"

"Call Princess Sonia!"

"Hurry!"

"That boy would get beaten to a pulp!"

"Someone do something!"

"Hurry!"

To Be Continued...


Hope you liked this chapter, as Maizono made her move in an attempt to keep Sonia away from Naegi, yet her plan backfired as the bear attacked Naegi instead…due to a LUCKY (or UNLUCKY) turn of events…
