*Episode 16*
The following Monday, Allison started at Nekomi Tech. As 'Koujiku' was an "old
friend" of hers, I was asked to give her the standard tour. Well, I WAS asked to.
Aoshima had followed us, and as soon as the dean asked me, Aoshima interrupted and
offered to do it himself, as 'Koujiku' was rather new around Nekomi. The dean agreed.
"Remember what we talked about, Allison," I said.
"Of, course." Allison replied.
"Umm..." Aoshima asked, "What language was that?"
"Well, I spoke in Arabic. Allison was talking in Hebrew." I informed him.
"Oh." Aoshima muttered, "Just how many languages does this guy understand,
anyway?"
"Let's see... Arabic, Greek, Japanese, Chinese, Swahili, English, Spanish, French,
Latin..."
Aoshima sweatdropped.
"Koujiku!" Allison chided, then continued telepathically, I see what you mean. He
IS a scumbag.
As Aoshima and Allison walked off, I ran a mental countdown through my head.
5... 4... 3... 2... 1... A loud "Bang" followed.
Allison?
Yes, Sensei?
He tried something?
Yes, Sensei.
Grabbed at your chest and grabbed one of your directional land mines instead?
Yes, Sensei.
I believe you owe me dinner.
Yes, Sensei.
As the other students in the area ran to investigate the noise, several stopped to stare
at the man rolling on the floor with laughter. Even more, however, sweatdropped when
they saw Allison speaking to a thoroughly charred Aoshima.
"I'm SO sorry.... I really shouldn't have been carrying that Model 195306-b
Directional Mine. Could you PLEASE forgive me?"
Aoshima, true to form, missed the sarcasm. I couldn't wait to tell Keiichi. Unfortunately,
it was over two hours before I got the chance. When I DID tell him, however, his sides nearly
burst.
"And *chuckle* how *laugh* did *chortle* Aoshima *snicker* respond *cackle*?"
"He passed it off as an innocent mistake. So far, he's set off twenty mines."
Keiichi simlply laughed even harder. "You know," he said, fighting off even more laughter,
"He hasn't been going after Bell-chan lately."
"Umm..." I said, looking awkward, "That's because I..."
"What?"
"Umm... had a little... umm... talk with him about that."
"NANI?!? And HOW did you convince him?"
"Well, I kind of enlisted some help..."
"What? Who?!?"
"Well, here... they told me to give you this letter whenever we discussed this..." I said,
handing him a letter I had in my pocket.
"Huh?"
"Read it."
"'To Mr. Morisato Keiichi... We were delighted when Koujiku-san called and asked us to help
him with....' You've GOT to be kidding me!"
"Nope."
"How did you reach them?"
"Allison."
"Oh. When?"
"Around two weeks from when I got here."
"And HOW did you get them to agree?"
"Simple. They were bored."
"Oh?"
"Yeah. Read a little closer."
"... it was the most fun we've had in centuries! Sincerely, Thor, Loki, Tyr, Baldur..." The
list went on for several more pages. Keiichi sweatdropped.
