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 and here the situation is about to escalate, as Naegi tries to find a way to provide help to the police, someone within the hostages decided to take matters personally…either to save the hostages or make a personal escape for selfish reasons
Well then…read on and…well, enjoy!
Ch. 13: Roshutsu shita Naegi
At the Naegi house, the scene shows that Komaru and Yuta are making out, as you can see that, despite being covered by a blanket, you can tell that they are PLAYING AROUND, and there his brief is seen falling to the floor with Yuta moaning and Komaru commented that he LOOKED CUTE DOWN THERE, which he said that he is a bit embarrassed.
"Wow, Yuta-kun...you sure are BIG..."
"Ahh..."
"So hard...but smooth..."
"Ahh...K-Komaru..."
"It feels so nice..."
"Ahh..."
"Glad we got together like this, Yuta-kun..."
"Ahh...Komaru-chan..."
By then they heard the doorbell rang, and the two younger teens sat up abruptly, realizing the situation should they came inside the room, and both of them frantically dressed up to avoid getting caught in the act and she tells him to act naturally so as not to give themselves away.
Yuta nodded as he frantically puts on his brief and shorts as he did not want to be seen this KIND OF STATE, which lasted almost a few minutes, and after that they sneaked their way downstairs, just as the Naegi parents entered and there Komaru greeted her parents, as Yuta stood there and behaved himself, hoping that the Naegi parents would not find out what he and Komaru just did a while ago.
"Komaru..."
"Hello, Komaru..."
"Mom! Dad!"
"Sorry if we arrived late..."
"We're going to have a late-night celebration..."
"Sure!"
"Now all we need is wait for your brother..."
"And we can have a family gathering..."
-x-
Elsewhere, the scene shifts at the parking lot of Nekotami Tower, where the situation remained at a standstill, and you can see that the pissed-off police official was insulted at being talked off by Naegi, and he grudgingly gave the radio to Takaki and went to survey the area, and Takaki sighed in relief, and there he asks Naegi what happened there and what caused the explosion, in which Naegi went into detail about what he did, and surmised that his action resulted in killing the gunmen that controlled the bomb-controlled drones and halted the terrorists' actions temporarily.
Takaki was surprised and yet he tells Naegi not to act so reckless reasoning that the blast may have caught him, but the teen boy laughed a bit saying that he managed to avoid the backdraft.
"Look, Mako...you may be a kid...I can tell from your voice..."
"Really?"
"Yeah, but listen carefully. You should avoid doing and acting like a gung-ho. You're up against a dozen or so armed gunmen...I'm surprised you survived and made it this far. Any private citizen wouldn't..."
"But here I am. Safe and sound."
"For now."
"I'll be okay."
"Better still...you need to stay hidden. There's no telling when you're going to end up in a body bag."
"Don't worry. My GOOD LUCK will keep me safe."
While Takaki is relieved to hear that Naegi survived, he is still worried at the fact that the boy is still at risk of getting caught and killed, and he advised him to stay hidden and keep a low profile unless necessary, saying that he does not want a YOUNGBLOOD to die on the eve of Christmas, but Naegi displayed optimism that he will save the night and celebrate Christmas.
"I'm not kidding...you got to look out for yourself."
"I am."
"Look, in an hour or so from now...it's going to be Christmas...and the last thing I ever wanted is someone like you getting killed."
"I understand."
"So please do as I..."
"Don't worry. Like I said, my GOOD LUCK will keep me safe."
"You sure are optimistic...aren't you?"
"I guess...it's all that I have..."
Takaki chuckled at Naegi's optimism, and admitted that he admired his spirit, and tells him to stay alive and keep up the upbeat attitude, telling him that once this crisis is over, he would like to invite Naegi to dinner with the Ishimaru family, which Naegi smiled as he said that he would consider it but would have to ask his parents for permission first.
This made Takaki raised an eyebrow.
"You're going to ask your parents for permission, Mako?"
"Yeah."
"Such a good kid. Your parents are going to be proud of you."
"Not sure about that."
"How so?"
"They have no idea about the situation here...and I intend to keep it that way."
"You sure?"
"Yeah...I don't want them and my younger sister to get worried too much since it's almost Christmas..."
The police official who got told off by Naegi a while ago was rather pissed seeing Takaki entertaining a percieved nutcase than doing his actual job, and he sighed as he decided to do his job, believing that he can upstage Takaki and prove that he is more competent than him.
Not far, an ambitious TV reporter is stationed outside, and using unknown means, he was able to eavesdrop the radio signals and listen to the conversation between Takaki and Naegi, though Naegi referred to himself as Mako in order to mislead the terrorists and prevent them from using the hostages to pin him down.
The reporter then told his cameraman to keep on listening, as he wanted to get the SCOOP OF THE CENTURY and find out who this Mako is, and to show Tokyo why he is the best reporter within the prefecture.
"You sure about this...?"
"Yeah...and keep listening to that conversation...I need to knkw who this Mako is..."
"Don't you think that it would only...?"
"Don't care. All I care is to get the biggest scoop this Christmas...and that Mako guy is my ticket to news stardom."
"..."
"Just do your job, okay?"
"...fine..."
"Good."
After that, the shrewd news reporter took out a radio and attempted to match the frequency in order eavesdrop on the conversation so as to get as much information in order feed the public such news in order to make himself a credible reporter and believed it would launch him to stardom.
As he tried to adjust the frequency to hack inside the building, the cameraman is having doubts about this and asks the reporter if he is serious, feeling that this might endanger the situation but the shrewd reporter said that the police will handle it and that he is doing this because its the work and obligation of a reporter.
"Look...are you sure about this...?"
"Yes."
"Don't you think this would put the hostages in danger...?"
"The police will handle it."
"But we're talking about..."
"I don't give a damn what happens next...all I care is to get promoted and become the number 1 reporter of all Japan! Now shut up and help me here!"
"..."
"Come on!"
-x-
Meanwhile, the scene shifts inside the Nekotami Tower, where you can see Sakakura is already losing his cool after what happened, as Naegi's actions stalled their plans and he wanted to go all-out but Munakata urged him to stay cool, as he reiterated that the plan will push through and that their mission will be completed as scheduled.
Moreover, he assured to Sakakura that they will leave the building alive and no one can stop them as they have the hostages, thus the cops would not dare come charging in, which Sakakura still pointing out that the meddler is still here and would ruin their plans, which Munakata promised that he will see to it that the meddler will die in a gruesome way.
"The meddler will meet his end. That I promise."
"You sure...?"
"Yes. I am sure."
"..."
"Be patient, Sakakura. The meddler will not leave this building alive."
"Fine."
"Good."
"..."
Not far, Maizono and her four idol members were patiently waiting, as they wondered what is going on, and Satomi sighed as she guessed that Naegi must have been too chickened to leave the building and ended up getting stuck, but Ayaka chastises her for the comments, saying that Naegi is not the kind of boy who would be that selfish, and as the two girls bicker stealthily, they noticed that Maizono is smiling in a worried way.
They asks her why the smile, and there she pointed out that since Naegi is the one on the loose, he is likely the one who caused the ruckus and puts the gunmen on a standstill, which would explain why Sakakura was so furious and wanting to go out there and kill him on sight.
Satomi stared in disbelief and asks Maizono if she means it, as she felt that Naegi doesn't have the guts to even kill the gunmen, which Ayaka urged her to keep it down, and said that if Maizono means it, then it showed that Naegi must have stayed inside the building to help the hostages and foil the gunmen's attempts to attack the police.
Maizono sweat-dropped as her idol members began to bicker as they argue on whether Naegi is reliable ot not, and if he is manly or a spineless coward.
"Ayaka...are you really sure about that...?"
"That's what I think..."
"You think that a petite-looking boy would do those things like he's Rambo?"
"Well, why are the gunmen are scrambling and panicking...?"
"I think they're just acting like…"
"If Naegi escaped, he would've alerted the cops and told them the route he took…but there's no word…which means that he's still here."
"I can't believe you're siding with a geek like…"
"Come on, Satomi…"
However, one of the hostages is seen smirking, in which the person overheard the conversation and decided to stand up and do something to help matters, and the three idol members blinked their eyes as the person walked towards one of the gunmen and requests to see Munakata to have a word with him, claiming to have a way to solve this crisis.
The person appeared to be a teenage girl, about the same age as Naegi and Maizono. She is clad in a gothic-like attire and she is identified as Celestia Ludenberg. Satomi stared wide-eyed and sensed that trouble is about to brew, and when Maizono and Ayaka asks what is wrong, Satomi told them that she heard a lot about Celestia.
Celestia is said to be a superb gambler and her reputation is quite something, as she won countless games and amassed a lot of money as well as causing several gambling outlets to go bankrupt and even made a lot of wealthy gamblers to lose all of their money and driven them to destitute and debts, as well as causing well-known gamblers to go into hiding once they run out of money to pay off their debtors and loan sharks.
Moreover, Satomi said that she heard that Celestia is said to have the tag of "queen of liars", and there she suspect that Celestia might lie her way into escaping the hostage crisis for herself and leave the rest behind, and there Celestia approached Satomi, having heard the conversation and assured to her that she is going to bail everyone out.
Of course Satomi does not take the words in face value.
"Oh, don't be like that."
"And why would I take your word for it?"
"Because I care about the others."
"Really, Ms. Ludenberg?"
"Yes."
"And you are not going to bail yourself out of this…?"
"Oh dear…no. I want to save everyone."
"…"
Maizono wondered where this would lead to, and as Satomi and Celestia bickered, Munakata, who was passing by, overheard it and approached the scene and asks what are they arguing about, and there Celestia smiled as she said that she has a proposition for him and wished to speak to him in private, and though he mentally dismisses the idea as he sees it as a waste of time, he nevertheless decided to entertain her for a while to see what she has in mind.
Moments later, inside the office room, Munakata asks Celestia what does she want and made it clear that he is a busy man and does not want to waste unnecessary time, and there Celestia said that she knows who the meddler is and what he is like, stating that the meddler is an easy target once sighted, and there she proposed a deal: if she tells Munakata who the meddler is, she would be set free and nothing else. He is free to do what he want with the other hostages as she only wants to leave so as to have a Christmas binge with the gambling establishments.
Munakata snickered a bit seeing that Celestia is indeed a selfish girl, yet he is open to the idea just to find out who the meddler is and how to flush him out and kill him on the spot so that his plans will proceed without problems.
"So…is that your reason?"
"Yes, kind sir."
"I still have doubts whether to take your word for it or not."
"You can trust me on this. I don't care about the other flock…you're free to waste them if you like."
"And if you tell me about this meddler…and if we flush him out…"
"Then your problems are over."
"I see…anyway I like to ask you something."
"Hmm…?"
Munakata then asks why is she bickering with the other girls a while ago, and there Celestia said that the girls she is arguing are members of an idol group, and gave a description of Maizono, revealing that the lead idol is the girlfriend of the meddler, and there Munakata asks Celestia who the meddler is, and there the ungrateful Celestia revealed Naegi's name.
Outside the office room, the rest of the hostages, including Maizono and her group, overheard the conversation via a radio that was left unattended by one of the goons, and the hostages, including Maizono and her group, stared wide-eyed at what they just heard, and Satomi gritted her teeth seeing that Celestia is indeed selfish and only wants to escape for herself, while Maizono became shocked that Clesetia had just gave Naegi's identity away and that the teen gambler intended to escape and fend for herself as well as letting the rest of the hostages die at the hands of Munakata.
Moreover, Celestia even exposed Maizono's identity and have her used as a bait to lure Naegi out. Ayaka also agreed that Celestia is really a fool but is surprised when told by Satomi that Celestia will be dead sooner.
"Satomi…what are you…?"
"That gambling bitch is dead."
"How so…?"
"You think those hostage takers are going to let her go that easily?"
"Eh…? You mean…?"
"Yup. I'm guessing that she is about to be killed."
"No…no way…"
"She got her just deserts."
At the office, Munakata raised an eyebrow when Celestia provided the picture of Maizono, and he asks Celestia what good would this do, and she said that she can be a good bait to lure Naegi out, and yet Munakata asks if she can provide the picture of Naegi, which she paused for a bit, realizing that she do not have Naegi's picture and stated that there are ways to lure Naegi out and that the teen boy will be compelled to turn himself in.
"Oh, really now?"
"Yes, kind sir."
"And why did you fail to provide a picture of this Naegi?"
"I only met him earlier…and he can be easily identified…I already told you his description."
"Hmm…"
"Well…?"
"Can you wait for a bit."
"Sure."
Nodding, Munakata took out his radio and homed in on the frequency and called out Naegi, but not addressing him by his name, and as Naegi answered, he was told to surrender himself and bring forth the weapons and explosives that he took, which the teen boy deny, saying that he won't surrender to a scum like him.
However, Munakata made his move and addressed Naegi by his name, saying that he knows that Naegi is just a 16-year old GREENHORN with a RAGING HORMONE and lacked the necessary drive to take down his men and even said that he will make an example of what would happen if Naegi attempted to defy him again, as he made Celestia speak, which she urged Naegi to surrender so that she can leave the building alive.
As Naegi is silent for he is pissed that he deduced that she is the one who gave him away to Munakata, but then he is taken aback when a gunshot sound is heard, and there Munakata told Naegi that this is the result, and he gave Naegi an ultimatum: surrender now or one of the hostages will be next, going far as threatening that Naegi's CLOSEST ONES (which he intentionally did not mention Maizono's name), could be among the candidates, yet Naegi is determined not to give in to the likes of Munakata.
"So, Mr. Naegi…do you feel like surrendering to me?"
"Not a chance."
"Are you really that foolish?"
"Yes."
"What made you think you can defy me?"
"In four words."
"Which are…?"
"Yipee Ka-Yay…you motherfucker."
To Be Continued...
