CHAPTER 6. An ultimate morning. Hey I am a boy too! Meet my inventions! Excuse me do you have a few minutes for our lord and savior Alter Ego?
Kirumi was not happy
Not happy at all.
A maid was supposed to be with her master at all times. Yet she found herself fighting her way against a mechanized bed that just wouldn't move, acting as a wall.
"Move already…"
She lunged forward with a broom that expertly managed to cut off the robot. Only for another to come takes its place. She sighed, getting ready again and focusing her eyes on the goal by the end of it.
Makoto Naegi. Whom Miu Iruma was holding in a death grip.
"I swear by my master honor. I will take you down Miu."
She lunged forward again at what seemed to be a sea of robots in the hallways. At the same time such ridiculous scene was going on, Miu Iruma, the ultimate inventor was excitedly chatting with Makoto Naegi over the roof.
"I am so happy of seeing you! I mean, I sure knew I would see you, I was going to make an invention to hack the app, but this makes everything so much easier!"
The girl spoke excitedly at Naegi who could only try to think how he ended up in the roof talking with a girl who was hugging him with her arms at the same time they were suspended in the air with a pair of robotic arms that kept them out of the reach of Maki Harukawa.
"Miu! Release Naegi! You can't hog him for yourself! He belongs to everyone!"
The ultimate child caregiver was not in the mood for this. Really Naegi could only think how his day turned like this.
The morning had come to start relatively peacefully. He awoke while he was in his pajamas. A long shirt and a long set of pants to keep him warm. So he didn't think twice of feeling warm in the morning. What really took away any sort of sleep from his eyes was the voice of Junko Enoshima peeking from the other side of the bed. Hiding as if a child waiting for their parents to wake up.
"Come on…wake up already Makoto…"
While the tone of her voice didn't really was creepy or stalkers, it did was too much for Naegi to have a girl in his room. The moment he saw her sleep went away from his eyes and he let out a rather unmanly scream. At the moment this happened, the ultimate maid made herself present by kicking the door open.
"Master!"
She rushed inside only to see Naegi gasping for air and Junko with a Cheshire cat grin. Kirumi walked with a sigh before taking Junko.
"Respect master privacy… you shouldn't be here either Toko."
Naegi raised an eyebrow at her speech. Only to hear a sigh from below the bed. He saw the same girl with glasses and her braids getting out of under the bed. She looked at Naegi with a smile before shyly waving at him.
"M-morning N-Naegi."
Naegi could only wave back at her in disbelief, if he didn't scream, was because he had already done so with Junko appearance. She nodded one last time at him before leaving with a smile in her face. Her day had already been set as perfect the moment Naegi waved at her.
Naegi walked to his bathroom to take a bath. He didn't bother closing the door. He had the suspicion even if he closed it someone would come inside his room. So for once, he would let Kirumi deal with whatever would happen.
Said ultimate maid made sure Junko went to get breakfast under the excuse she would take Naegi there soon. She didn't plan to do so, but it wasn't a lie because she would go, just a bit later… after she did breakfast for him…
Yet she found herself surprised as she walked and saw the door of the room opened and the sound of the shower going on. Her thoughts were disturbed about it. Was Naegi not worried at all about his safety? Did he not see the threats going around him at all sides and places? Could he not see how exposed and unsafe he was?
Then it hit her, like a house of bricks falling down. It wasn't he didn't know. Oh no. it was that he trusted her so unconditionally already that he didn't fear the many threats around. Why should he show fear against adversity when he had her by his side!
Truly Makoto Naegi was the master she wished for so long.
Had she known the reason Naegi left the door open was because of his sudden tiredness in the morning at what happened, she would have still felt the same happiness, for the delusions of the ultimate maid regarding her master was too big.
Contrary to the beliefs of Kirumi Tojo, Naegi didn't fully trust her on keeping in place, reason as to why he chose to put the lock on the door and put a broom in the door to lock it away. The last thing he needed, was the ultimate maid to offer to wash his back as her maid.
Naegi wasn't sure what was worst. How little he seemed to be surprised at the sudden appearance of three girls in his room in the morning. Or how he seemed to start understanding the line of thinking of Kirumi. He sighed as he let the hot water wash away his worries.
Once he was out of the bathroom, he noticed the door of his room was closed, and that Kirumi was nowhere on site. But what was on site were his clothes in a hanger. Fully ironed and freshly cleaned it seemed. In the front of his usual hoodie, there was a small note in it. He took the note and read it.
I cleaned your clothes. Thought you would like them to be recently ironed.- Kirumi Tojo, Ultimate Maid. Currently at the permanent service of Makoto Naegi, the greatest master of all.
Naegi found himself smiling at the attitude of Kirumi, but he would need to let the fact sink that they were friends and that she didn't need to serve him now, or… ever really. They were friends.
Once dressed, Naegi took to walk to the cafeteria to get breakfast. Kirumi insisted they had breakfast privately in his room. But he insisted he wanted to meet the rest of the students who he might share a classroom before the classes properly started.
As he walked inside, he was met with two opposing tables. In one were Junko, Fukawa and Celestia…well, Taeko if they were in privacy. And on the other side were Pekoyama, Tenko, Angie, and Himiko chatting between themselves. Well, the three girls were chatting, Pekoyama was silently looking at him like a hawk with a small smile. For a reason it made him blush and he found himself waving at her. The swordswoman waved back at him. The small smile in place.
Before Kirumi could take Naegi to a table away of the girls, she was surprised when an arm came over Naegi getting him away.
"Hey man! I saw you before, I believe is time for you to meet the rest of your future buddies."
Yasuhiro Hagakure had earned the animosity of Kirumi Tojo in the act of taking Naegi away. At the same time, without knowing he had earned the friendship of Makoto Naegi simply by being so kind.
"Oh, sure! I would love that."
They were walking away from the tables where the girls were. Some looking between themselves at the fact their alliances failed, for some were only sitting together in the chance their numerical advantage would get them more time with Naegi. However, the ultimate clairvoyant seemed to have hit the bullseye in one of those weird occasions he seemed to get.
Naegi meanwhile was focusing on the many faces he saw in the table he was going towards.
He saw a guy with a delinquent aspect. The one who had helped him before in stopping Kirumi of going inside his room.
"Mondo Owada!"
He spoke the name of his savior, surprising the other members of the table. One with black hair and shortly cut wearing a white uniform that looked really formal. A boy wearing a dark green coat with blonde hair and glasses. Another one who was chubby and with small glasses in his eyes. Another one wore a white jacket and had wild orange hair and a small beard.
Every one of them looked with curiosity at Naegi as how he knew the name of Mondo. The mentioned one simply smirked nodding.
"Hey! You are the pipsqueak with the maid following him right?"
Naegi felt embarrassed at the description but he nodded nonetheless.
"Well, aren't you sharing your name guys? He already knows mine."
The rest of the guys looked between themselves shrugging before doing so in the order they were sat next to Mondo.
"Leon Kuwata, good to know ya kid."
"Kiyotaka Ishimaru! I am the ultimate moral compass!"
"Hifumi Yamada. I am an artist of the world of manga!"
Naegi chuckled at the odd pair who shouted their titles, they reminded him of a couple of friends of him who used to be loud always in their messages.
"Well you already know me, Mondo Owada, I am the ultimate biker gang leader."
He seemed proud of his title and Naegi couldn't avoid seeing he did look the part. After that everyone seemed to focus on the blonde boy who had a face of not wanting to make friends.
"Come on, don't be a snob right now, the kid isn't bad as the other one."
The other one? Who could they deem bad?
"…Byakuya Togami."
Naegi smiled and he felt pressure from the arm that was still over him.
"And I am Yasuhiro Hagakure! The ultimate clairvoyant! All my readings have a chance of thirty percent of being the truth!"
An abysmal silence came over at the fact of the number. Said silence was broken by the chuckle of Naegi who presented himself to the others, albeit a bit nervous of them.
"I am, Makoto, M-Makoto Naegi. I am really happy to know you and I hope we can be friends."
He smiled at them, the others just nodded back while happy. It was obvious the kid didn't have even one mean bone in his body. The boys were surprised at hearing another voice presenting itself.
"I am Fujisaki Chihiro. I hope we can be friends Makoto-kun,"
Everyone looked in surprise at the girl who clasped her hands together with Naegi. Her small height in comparison to Naegi made everyone, including Hagakure who had distanced himself from Naegi to make his introduction let out a mental.
Awww is adorable.
At the scene in front of them, even more, because Naegi and Chihiro were both embarrassed at the contact of their hands.
"L-Likewise Chihiro."
Said girl smiled brightly closing her eyes at the positive message. It was then after the touching moment that Naegi mind lighted up.
"Ah! Hagakure! It's you!"
Naegi took out his phone surprising everyone at the sudden burst of energy of the boy. As he tried that he ended up falling by literally tripping with air. Some were surprised at how familiar the situation sounded to them. For Fujisaki it wasn't known as she knew the identity of Naegi.
But Hagakure hummed in thought until he was presented with the cellphone and read a message in it.
Yasuhiro Hagakure! Hiro for short man!
Seeing the message in the cracked cellphone scream made Hagakure start laughing loudly as he raised Naegi from the floor and hugged him, trapping in the hug to Fujisaku who was close to Naegi.
"Buddie! It's you! Oh man! Look at that, is so good to see you in person finally!"
Fujisaki was pleasantly in pain as being hugged so tightly, but the pain was bearable as she was next to Naegi. It was then that the base for a bomb was about to come out.
"Fujisaki right? Sorry girlie, but this is the table for the guys to meet. I apologize but you got to scram."
Mondo spoke putting an end to the fun time of Hagakure.
"Oh come on man, can't we make an exception."
Mondo shrugged.
"No exceptions. We made this table and those rules for a reason."
Fujisaki who had just finally found out Naegi threw out the bomb in front of them.
"I…I am a boy though…"
Silence reigned over the table of the guys, and even around the cafeteria. Few knew the truth about Chihiro Fujisaki. Naegi knew it by their chats, although he didn't know the identity of his friend. The headmaster knew it, Junko did too, and the ultimate detective was said to know all the secrets of that type.
Mondo looked at Fujisaki with a frown. As if daring him to tell him he was lying. To admit the truth. The result was a shivering Fujisaki looking at Mondo. But in the end, the guys were surprised at what happened. A smirk came to show in the relaxed face of Mondo.
"Ah, he is telling the truth. He might be a scared cat, but he is no liar, and I can respect that. You can sit with us Fujisaki."
Fujisaki smiled. It had gone better than expected.
Naegi meanwhile was just surprised at knowing immediately that Fujisaki was probably another of his online friends.
Was he friends with the whole school? That would have been fun if it was the case.
Breakfast went well with many chats between the different students who made for the male group. They all seemed to get well with each other. If anything, they all seemed to also share a dislike for Togami. Well, all but Naegi and Fujisaki.
"Come on! Can't you be at least kind to the new students?"
Togami sighed before looking at his phone screen seemingly typing.
"Why I try this again?"
The others sighed at his answer. Mondo looked ready to punch Togami a new face. However, was promptly stopped by Ishimaru who just indicated it wasn't worth it. Seemingly with anger Mondo nodded, focusing his gaze in something else to take his anger away.
He found oddly useful to look at Fujisaki who kept chatting excitedly with Naegi. Seeing those two chat made him feel he was seeing the fine motor of a bike working in a perfect tune.
Some would find Mondo comparing two people getting well with a motor that had just been tuned to be weird. Then again, Mondo was the ultimate biker gang leader for a reason.
Meanwhile, Naegi was surprised when his phone beeped. He apologized to Fujisaki as he saw the message.
How do you deal with people? I just can't deal with groups of commoners. You are a commoner. How do you deal with them?
Naegi chuckled. He knew this person well. He seemingly was the inheritor of a fortune and had grown surrounded by luxury. Deep below his seemingly distaste for people lays someone who was insecure on how to act with others. Who also had a distaste for people in general.
Naegi was surprised that he still send him messages, after all, he did admit he was a commoner. Though back then he also answered something to him about that.
I am a commoner you know?
I been suspecting that for a while.
You don't mind?
You may be the only commoner I can deal with.
Thanks. Coming from you that is a compliment.
I don't know what you man with that
He still found it funny. He answered him back.
I just talk to them. When you talk with others things just flow naturally.
Naegi sends the reply and everyone in the table saw Togami face light up for a moment at receiving a message.
"Fast as always…his efficiency is enviable…"
No one understood what Togami meant.
When Makoto Naegi did something, He did as fast possible. Not because he was good or bad at it. But luck wouldn't allow him to spend too much time at something without something possibly happening. So he was a bit nervous about having spent so much time with the guys and nothing bad happening. Fujisaki noticed this and poked Naegi in the arm.
"Makoto? Are you okay?"
The rest of the guys didn't know why Fujisaki was so familiar with Naegi, some considered they might know each other from somewhere else. Naegi had figured it out after chatting a bit with Chihiro.
"I…yeah, I guess I am okay… just nervous you know? Usually, my luck makes something happen."
The guys snickered at it, he had told them about his luck. Leon chuckled mockingly.
"Like what? A robot taking you away?"
Even though the comment had been made with mocking intentions as a joke. Leon mouth kept itself opened in surprise when not a second later a robot with the shape of a bed took Naegi away through the usage of mechanical limbs. It had been fast. So fast, in fact, the robot had slightly pushed Fujisaki away. Making Mondo immediately stand up to fight the machine. He hadn't acted faster only because the machine hadn't hurt Naegi. But the fact it hurt someone made him get into his biker leader attitude.
No one in his gang got hurt if he could avoid it.
The fight had been one-sided as Mondo iron grip crushed the mechanical limbs of the bed. But what no one saw coming was the second smaller robot taking Naegi away, nor the third robot, nor the fourth one. No one was ready for the sea of robots that came to take Naegi away and keep everyone else busy.
Chihiro took out her cellphone and made a call to a number that reached no one in particular.
"Alter Ego!"
And that was how Naegi found himself in the arms of Miu Iruma whose robots had brought him to her in the roof. She immediately went for a hug and didn't release him. Maki Harukawa had simply been in the roof at the time that everything happened and demanded a hug too from Naegi.
Both girls explained they knew who he was. Naegi was surprised at the number of people who seemingly knew him. It made him smile. But he would lie if he didn't say he felt embarrassed at the obvious infatuation Miu had on him.
Makoto Naegi was by no means good at romance or noticing subtle social cues. But he could see a brick coming his way when it happened. And Miu was bulldozer coming over him.
"We can finally be together! So much stuff we can do!"
From all the people Naegi knew of the app, Miu was the most extreme in her wishes of friendship…. Well, maybe the seventh most extreme.
As Miu was mentioning her plans for a wedding in the school with an invention that could make a church for them, a pair of her own inventions came and picked Naegi away from her.
"Hey! You two release Naegi!"
The robots seemed unfazed and just ran with Naegi. As they ran they passed Kirumi Tojo who also took to run behind them. She didn't attack them because she felt they were helping Naegi.
Naegi simply found himself laughing at the sensation of being held by the robots away.
There are times the only thing one can do is laugh at how ridicule things are turning out to be.
Alter Ego was smiling in her screen. She had taken control of the robots of Miu, she would make them put Naegi back into the cafeteria with the boys. She was humming in happiness at how brave Chihiro had been in confessing he was a boy really.
As she hummed in the space of the computer she saw the diagrams for a fun plan for the future. But that would wait…
CUT! Ah! Sweet, sweet fun! I needed to write this, good lord I missed having this fun. Well, thoughts? Don't forget to throw me your votes! I know this one was a bit short, but I had to find a way to present the boys quickly for the next chapter!
Next time on You are not alone you have me!
Riding motorcycles in the hallways is forbidden!
