So... I'm kinda at a loss for what to say here. In the three weeks since I've updated this story, the world seems to just be a different place, and it's scary now. That being said, I really hope that everyone is doing what they can. Wash your hands and avoid your face, and if you can afford to, stay at home. I know that it may be doing hell on your mental health being away from people, but it'll be worth it to not risk the vulnerable people in your life and overwhelming your country's hospitals. Above all, social distancing is protecting everyone, just like how herd immunity is, so you are helping everyone, not just your loved ones.
This is going to be a lonely and scary time, with many people spreading misinformation, fearmongering or trying to minimise the threat that is this pandemic. Please hang in there and know that you aren't alone. If you need someone to talk to, your friends and family will always be there for you, but if you want an extra one, be sure to send me a PM.
But that's my PSA done. Now a quick recap:
Keima's finally back and come clean to the girls about the issues that he's having, as well as giving the breakdown of how he knows everyone and the Goddesses. The biggest issue now being Keima's refractory period being a problem, but there's a magical solution for that... and who better to help with magic than our lovely Haqua, who has now blessed the story.
That's basically it now. Please enjoy the chapter.
"I refuse," Haqua said in a flat voice. She was seated in front of the classroom, but her crossed arms made it clear that this wasn't up for discussion.
There were matching looks of dismay as far as her eyes could see but Haqua held firm.
"Why?" Mars whined, "Yui really wants her chance, you know?"
"No," the blue-haired devil snapped, "I want nothing to do with old hell, and I especially want nothing to do with this… debauchery…" she motioned to the class, whose faces showed various levels of annoyance.
"We aren't doing anything like that," Jun defended.
"Which kind of irresponsible teacher would let drugs and alcohol in a school?" the older teacher added.
"It's the sex which is the problem, sensei!" Haqua retorted, climbing to her feet.
"If you're into that, you're welcome to join," Chihiro quipped. She had to dodge the hagoromo tablet that was thrown at her head a moment later, but it was worth it.
"Why would anyone want that!?" she hissed angrily, but her red face told a different story.
"You're kinda preaching to the wrong group, Haqua-san," Diana shrugged, "but you are our last hope for having this continue."
Haqua turned to Keima, who had been silent since he'd finished his explanation.
"Why are you so okay with this, Katsuragi!?" she asked, one eyebrow raised, "you've never shown any sexual interest to anyone as long as I've known you…"
And she had him there…
"I promised that I'd always be there for them," he answered, "and if this is what they need from me…"
"You're enjoying this, you pervert!" Keima went flying forward as Haqua kicked his butt.
"I'm not," Keima protested from the floor, "this is the hardest thing I've ever had to do, but I'm going to walk alongside my friends, one way or another."
He stood up and dusted himself off.
"If there's anything I can do to change your mind, tell me," his eyes met hers, and she felt her heart race as she hadn't felt in a while. She broke eye contact and looked at her fingers, which were trembling lightly on her scythe.
What was he playing at? He could barely stand being touched by girls and now he wanted… this?
He hated dealing with one girl, and now he had close to twenty.
Where were his games?
Where was his pride?
"If Haqua isn't on board with helping," he interrupted her thoughts, "I'll see if I can help you with the manual, Rimyuel."
Haqua looked up suddenly, her eyes narrowing. She lowered her scythe, the blade glinting down as it lowered to face him.
"Who the hell are you?" she spat, and Keima's eyes widened in surprise.
"Y-you know me," he raised his hands nervously, "we found the goddesses together."
"I did…" she didn't back away, "with that overconfident, overprepared, real-girl-hating, nonsense-blabbering oaf! You're not him."
"I-I swear I am –"
"No!" an entirely different voice cried, and a body came between the devil and the human, "stop it, Haqua!"
Keima hissed as he noted his younger sister's presence in front of him. So much for her plan to stay down low.
"W-who are you?" Haqua asked. Having looked at the files long enough for Keima, she knew that this girl wasn't there.
"I-I'm no one," Eri argued, "but you have to understand that this is Ni– Keima."
"What proof do you have?" Haqua turned to Keima, who bristled, trying to quickly run through his memories.
"Y-you're pretty good at human cooking," he responded quickly, "Yukie taught you how…" he sniggered, "and one time I told Chihiro that Elsie was taking a huge crap that wouldn't stop, just to get back at yo…"
Keima trailed off as he noticed that everyone was staring at him. He glanced at Eri, who just laughed nervously.
"Who's Elsie?" Haqua demanded. Eri lifted a hand up slowly. Keima gave her a look, but she just shook her head in a defeated way.
'We've already told the others… Haqua deserves to know too.'
"She's my buddy," Keima responded, "you took her place so that you could help me when I was searching for the Goddesses."
"I do remember that," Haqua agreed, but her voice still showed caution, "but your buddy was named Irene. I never knew her…" Keima shook his head.
"My buddy was always Elsie," he sighed, "when she rewrote the universe to make herself my sister, she must have had to change my buddy," he held his sister by her shoulder and turned her to face Haqua, "this is Elsie… she's your best friend."
Silence fell on the room. It was clear that the sentence piqued everyone's interest.
"T-that's ridiculous," Haqua laughed, "how can I forget my best friend?" Still, Keima's eyes were dead serious.
"Elsie is a really powerful devil that Satyr intended to use for destroying earth, but she rewrote the universe so that she would be human and no one would ever be able to use her again," he sighed, "but in doing that, people's memories of her changed, and she had to give up all her friends and family from hell."
"Is that so?" Haqua wondered out loud, and Eri nodded glumly. Keima smiled, a plan forming in her head.
"Seeing that you're here already, you don't have anything to lose hearing her out…" Haqua sighed. He had a point there, "so do you want to believe in us?"
Haqua hesitated for a moment as she turned to Eri, who was sporting a hopeful look on her face. While Haqua couldn't recall the face, there was something which did spark… something with her.
Like she was missing something… and maybe she had found it.
"I do," she nodded.
Eri started tearing up, her arms opening.
"Haqua!" the devil turned human cried, but before she could glomp the friend who she lost, Keima yanked her back. Haqua gave him a hard look.
"But she'll only tell you if you agree to work on whatever that recipe is…"
Haqua snorted. This was Keima, alright. She gave a nod, and the class around them cheered. Then they cheered even louder as the newly released Eri glomped her happily, which she readily accepted.
She couldn't be exactly sure, but the clingy human felt very familiar in her arms. For all it was worth, making this potion would be worth the story alone, but she hoped for more…
For Eri's friendship… for her to be allowed to remain around Katsuragi… for her to feel needed in the human world.
She could see that something had changed with Keima, but maybe it was for the better. If she left now, she'd never really know… she'd never get to tell him…
"I want something more," Haqua responded as she placed Eri on the ground.
"Anything," he agreed. Haqua smiled as she stepped up to him. Other than looking a bit alarmed, he didn't react as she touched his cheek… then rested her hand on it, with the other on his shoulder.
Not once did he shudder. She could get used to this.
Before he could even release the breath he was holding, she closed the distance between their lips, giving him a chaste kiss. She was pleasantly surprised as he started returning it.
It surprised them that neither of them hated that.
"I'll consider that my down payment," she whispered as she pulled away. She then paused that she remembered that they weren't alone… in fact, the entire room had cat smiles as they watched her.
All she had to do was hold up her scythe menacingly for the room to disperse, but Haqua could feel her heart singing and her hand tingling, and she was certain that her cheeks were warm. She squeezed her palm repeatedly as she fashioned her hagoromo into a new tablet so she could begin her part, a single thought in her brain.
'Debauchery for the win, bitches!'
"W-well…" Keima took a moment to compose himself after his first ever public kiss, "I guess that is sorted now."
"It will likely take some time, however," Akari reminded him, "it's likely that Haqua will need some additional manpower as well."
"There isn't much we can do in this time anyway," Ayumi shrugged, "unless there's someone who doesn't care if Katsuragi comes and wants to do their individual lesson now."
"Actually," Hinoki moved in next to Keima, her eyes flashing, "I wanted to talk more about your current knowledge and abilities on how to please girls."
Keima looked appropriately awkward.
"I-I've just been winging it so far," he admitted, scratching his head, "I don't have any previous experience to go with."
"That's quite alright," she assured, "this is how everyone begins," she turned to Tenri and Nanaka, who were half listening, "how would you ladies rate Katsuragi in bed?"
A silence fell as all faces turned to the two Misato girls. Tenri turned bright red and turned to the floor, but Nanaka grinned.
"T'was pretty good, ya know," she nodded, "like a 7 or 8 outta 10," she put a reassuring hand on Tenri's shoulder, "and I'm speakin' for us both."
Tenri looked up suddenly, catching Nanaka's eyes, "righ'?"
"W-w-why would you even sa–" her voice cut as suddenly as it came, interrupted by her the violent blush on her face. Chihiro snorted, having an inkling about what had had shorted the childhood friend's brain.
"I think you might be selling it short, Haibara," the normal girl smirked at Tenri, "from the look on her face, it was probably an '11/10, best moment of my life would do again' kind of thing."
A vat of steam left Tenri's head, basically confirming it. All the surrounding girls laughed, while Keima smiled affectionately. While Tenri refused to look anywhere other than the floor, he noticed that Chihiro was watching him. She didn't break eye contact when his eyes met hers. If anything, her smile broadened.
"Or maybe that's me," she mouthed. Keima's eyes widened. She winked before Keima looked away, certain that his cheeks were hot. Damn, that was smooth!
"T-that's besides the point," he tried to wave down the laughter, "actually, what is your point, Hinoki?"
The older girl smiled cheekily.
"Well, we will have some time till Haqua finishes her magic potion thing which will let you ejaculate, so how about we improve your ability on getting other girls off?"
Her request was met with murmurs of approval, and Keima facepalmed.
"And how are we going to do this?" he asked skeptically.
"I'm going to teach you," she beamed, "with just your hands and mouth, you'll be able to get any girl off… and there won't be any pressure about your performance."
He mulled it over for a few seconds.
"That's… not a bad idea, actually," Keima said after a moment, "it's just a different kind of individual tutoring that will also teach me."
"Indeed," Hinoki grinned, "and I know just the girl who you can practice on."
Before anyone could react, she pulled her younger sister in front of her.
"A-aneue!?"
"This is perfect…" Hinoki exclaimed, "you wanted privacy and something you could actually get into, while he could just use a few tips so that he can gain his confidence."
She shoved Kusunoki into Keima, who easily caught her.
"This is a match made in heaven," Hinoki grinned and Keima looked down, where Kusunoki was blushing, her eyes looking everywhere but at him. Keima pressed his lips together and pulled her back upright, ending the embrace.
"I'm not going to do anything unless Kusunoki actually asks," Keima said firmly, "I don't want her to be pressured into doing anything."
"Though I need someone else too," Hinoki continued, clearly not listening, "someone who I can show my skills on."
"Your skills?" Jun wondered out loud. That was the wrong thing to say, as Hinoki's gaze fell straight on her. The young teacher's neck bristled.
"Of course," Hinoki folded her arms, "how is this young boy going to know how to please a woman if he can't see it in action… you'd be the perfect partner too, because you don't intend on spending any time with him yourself."
"No-o way!" Jun crossed her arms, "I have no intention of getting involved with students, directly or indirectly!"
"Stingy…" Hinoki pouted, "is there anyone willing to be my partner?" she scanned the room, "I can guarantee that you'll have the best orgasm of your life."
There was murmuring amongst the girls, but no one stepped forward. Jun looked around, gauging everyone's expressions. One stuck out to her, however.
"Umm… Hinoki-san," she pointed to Eri, whose eyes were glowing at the thought… then she shook her head, turning to look at Haqua, who had her Hagoromo tablet out. She then turned back to look at Hinoki.
"Are you interested, Eri-chan?" Hinoki asked. The younger sister paused, a light blush coming to her cheek.
"I-I am…" she turned back to the other devil, "but I really wanted to catch up with Haqua though."
"Hmm…" Jun mused, "though she's working on the other thing for Katsuragi-kun now."
"That's even more reason to join me then," Hinoki grinned, "if you get your tutoring session done now, you'll get to spend all the time you want with Haqua-chan afterwards."
Eri mulled over the idea, but Hinoki nodded happily. Eri was as good as convinced. Then she felt herself be pulled away by the arm.
"Hinoki," Keima moved in next to her so his voice wouldn't carry, "I know you have good intentions, but I really don't want to see my little sister like that."
"I thought you said that you weren't related."
"Before she rewrote the world," he explained, his voice tinged with frustration, "but she's my real sister, even if I don't have our childhood memories."
"That's fine then," Hinoki put a hand on his shoulder, "you don't have to watch. I'll just explain it as I go along."
"I don't want to ima–" Keima hissed, till he noticed Kusunoki standing next to them, her cheeks warm, "Kusunoki?"
"Nee…" the samurai girl fiddled with her fingers, "thanks for caring more about my feelings," her cheeks darkened and Keima relaxed. Hinoki gave him a thumbs up and backed away.
"N-no problem," he smiled, "it's your decision to make as to how another person can touch you."
"I-I know," Kusunoki agreed, "but I do also get where Aneue is coming from," she sighed, "when I went to join her… lesson… I agreed that I was only allowed to leave after I was able to…" her voice trailed off, but Keima was able to fill in the blanks.
"You may say that, but there really isn't a requirement," Keima shrugged his shoulders, "this lesson, like everything else, is voluntary."
"I know that too," she took a deep breath, "I-I'm just not content with what I've learnt so far," she pressed her hands into fists, "which is why… I want to do this…"
Keima was stunned for a moment, but he quickly composed himself.
"A-Are you alright that it's me?"
"It's alright because it's you," she responded, her eyes returning to his face. At that admission, Keima's face turned a noticeable pink. Kusunoki smiled, her resolve strengthening. She smiled broadly, a motion Keima didn't miss.
"W-what's with that?" he grumbled, and Kusunoki patted his arm.
"I like it," she responded cheerfully, "it's cute when your face turns red."
"Don't get used to it," he turned away, "I'm glad you haven't changed."
It was unlikely that Kusunoki heard that last mumbled remark, but it had been a reminder for him. It had been a while since he'd seen her get happy over something cute and weak.
"Eeeh," Kusunoki exclaimed, "but I want to see more."
Keima stopped dead in his tracks. When he turned back to look at her, he felt his neck bristle at her expression. It was a gentle smile, but her eyes were sparkling with mischief, and he didn't like it one bit.
That was something he expected from the older Kasuga.
"So it's decided," Hinoki put an arm around Keima. He turned to see Eri under her other arm, with a not-so-thrilled expression on her face, "are we doing this or what?"
Keima and Eri looked at each other helplessly as Hinoki escorted them behind the curtain. Kusunoki followed behind them with a small smile, waving to whoever was paying attention to them.
"Is it just me or is this lesson getting more and more ridiculous?" Ayumi mused from her seat, as she watched the four young adults step into the curtain.
"Nope, not just you," Yui sighed, "we've made a lot of jokes of foursomes, but to think that they're actually having one…"
"And we're not even invited," Chihiro remarked, her expression comically sour. Ayumi and Yui chortled.
"That isn't a foursome, you know," Mio folded her arms, "they're two separate pairs just going around the same time."
"I dunno if it's smart or weird how the only two groups of siblings decided to go at once," Sumire wondered. Shiori opened her mouth for a moment before closing it. Tsukiyo glanced at her for a moment and they locked eyes for a moment before she broke the contact.
"I think it's a smart plan," Tsukiyo piped up, "none of the siblings will be touching each other in a weird way, and Keima's going to learn what he needs to."
"Can't fault that," Ayumi shrugged. Chihiro smiled wrily.
From there, conversation continued as normal for some minutes, but Akari couldn't help noticing something… off… like there were things still hanging in the air…
Kanon's eyes weren't ever settling on anyone when she talked, even though they would normally. Her eyes met with Nanaka's from a couple of seats away, and they both looked away, the former scrunching her hands on her lap as she talked to Minami, while the latter became more animated with her conversation with Tenri.
Not enough conclusive evidence to prove that something was happening, but certainly a sign.
"Nee, Rimyuel," Haqua scooted a chair adjacent to hers, "do you think this is the thing we're trying to make?" she pushed her tablet in front of her face. Akari's eyes scanned it. This was deeper in the database, and the ingredients did point towards it.
"Did you find it, Haqua?" Nikaidou leant in from behind.
"It might be it," the shorter devil nodded, "I anticipated that there would be some aphrodesiacs in this," she scrolled up, "the effect is the same as how I imagine it as well."
"Though this is going to need a bunch of ingredients from both hell and earth," Haqua sighed.
"You don't have to worry about the ingredients," Nikaidou assured, "I'll have some girls get the ones from around here."
"And I'll make a trip to hell for you," Akari agreed, "then you can start cooking once you get them all."
"That would be great, but…" she looked at the group of chatting girls, "I don't really want to disturb."
"That's hardly the case," Nikaidou brushed it off, "they're not doing much here and I'm sure they'd be happy to help you if it means helping Katsurahi-kun… in fact…"
She went up to the group and cut them down the middle, splitting them in half and motioning to the girls on the left, "you girls come help out Haqua, will you?"
"What about us," Yui chimed, being from the opposite side.
"You guys…" she paused, "you can do whatever you want… just no truth or dare."
There were some disappointed awws, but Nikaidou waved them down.
"There's seven of you… I'm sure that you can find something to talk about…"
"So… can we talk about whatever, as long as we stay here?" Chihiro clarified. Nikaidou nodded, but her movements got more apprehensive as she noticed Chihiro and Yui trade smiles.
"W-what are you planning?" Nikaidou sighed.
"Nothing at all," Yui responded, "seeing that we're a smaller group now, why not put some effort into getting to know each other and discussing all the important questions in life?"
"Exactly," Ayumi stood up proudly, "it can be a forum where we discuss things, both big and small."
Nikaidou rubbed her temple but turned away. Just let them do whatever they want…
"Fine…"
"That's great then!" Yui walked to the board, "and I know the first order of business as well…"
"What is it?" Tsukiyo asked weakly, a sinking feeling in her stomach.
"Why the hell are there not more tallies here!?" she rapped her knuckles on the board at the single horizontal line, "I refuse to believe that no one orgasmed after me!"
"Yep," Ayumi smirked as she watched a fair amount of the girls freeze up, "we gotta get that information now, don't we?"
Luckily for that fair number of girls, Nikaidou stepped in around then, forcing an honest and less informative method of getting that information on the board. With everyone's heads down, she called each girl up one by one to draw their tally marks and sit down.
Ayumi gritted her teeth and Yui pouted… so the only person who would know anything would be Nikaidou. Damn her!
Still, this method did placate the rest of the group… well, most of them, at least. Kanon was still apprehensive, so say in the least.
Nanaka still had a perfectly good excuse for her number, but Kanon… not so much! She still hadn't even had her time with Keima, for God's sake! Keeping this a secret was more important than being honest here, right?
Right!?
So Nikaidou called everyone up, but Kanon barely heard it through the wavering thoughts in her own head.
"Nakagawa," Nikaidou's voice spoke suddenly, and Kanon burst up, her chair scraping loudly as her thighs hit it, "you can go write now."
"Y-yes!" she was less clumsy as she made her way to the front, but her thoughts remained uncertain. There wasn't a reason to lie, was there? Nikaidou would be the only one to see, and she wouldn't tell… the teacher probably wouldn't care what she'd done with Nanaka.
She paused as her eyes fell on Nanaka's curly hair, and she could feel the heat rise up her face. They'd really done that…
Her hand paused with the chalk against the board. By this point, the count was at five and the character was complete, so she'd be starting the next one.
Nikaidou coughed to hurry her, and she jumped, quickly making her two slashes and hurrying back to her seat, teeth clenched and cheeks burning.
"Haibara, you're next!" Nikaidou called and she looked up, meeting Kanon's eyes. Both of their eyes widened and Kanon nearly tripped. How was it possible for her cheeks to get even hotter after that!?
As she was safely on her seat, she pressed her lips together and tried to steady her breathing, but it only pointed out how loud her heart was beating.
Nanaka was a bit steadier on her feet than Kanon was, but that eye contact had thrown her. At the board, she took a breath and reminded herself of the tallies she was supposed to put: one for Keima and two for Kanon…
That was kinda messed up, wasn't it? She was certain that she was straight, so how was it possible that she'd enjoyed Kanon's touch more than Keima's?
Still, she completed the last three strokes to Kanon's kanji, a small smile coming to her face. That had just felt right, and if she had to go back in time to half an hour ago, she'd do it again.
It felt correct… right, even… what she'd done with Kanon.
"Aoyama!" Nikaidou called as she sat down in her seat, and Nanaka took a deep breath, a hand running through her hair as she leaned down into her previous position.
As much as she'd want to go back in time and have that experience again, she knew that it would never happen again.
When Nikaidou allowed them to open their eyes again, the board had an impressive twelve tally marks on it.
"Okay, the number is done, and this discussion is over," Nikaidou spoke up, preemtively cutting off any continuation of that conversation, "now I say that we get back to the plan and go make that potion."
"Yes please," Haqua agreed, "the faster we get started, the faster it will get done," the girls agreed and separated themselves as Nikaidou had done before, and Nikaidou ushered them further away.
"So do you need an introduction, or do you not care?" Nikaidou asked Haqua. The devil shook her head.
"I've spent enough time researching everyone with Katsuragi that I know their names," she pointed to each of them in turn, "Aoyama Mio, Uemoto Sumire, Ikoma Minami, Nakagawa Kanon, Nagase Jun and Kurakawa Akari."
There were some suspicious looks shared between the girls, but Nikaidou ignored them.
"So tell us more about this thing you'll be making," the teacher instructed, "like what it is and what you'll need…"
"It seems to be a potion, basically," Haqua explained, "with one big gulp, the potion is supposed to return both libido and the body fluids necessary for sexual intercourse. It is safe to be ingested multiple times without any side effects…"
"That seems perfect then," Sumire grinned, "it sounds like it will solve any issue he has."
"Theoretically, yes," Haqua sighed, "but because this potion restores the body, there will be a period of exhaustion after he stops taking the potion."
"Then we'll just have to make sure that we make enough," Mio nodded, "he'll have the weekend to recover, so it'll be fine."
"As for the ingredients, it has to be made specifically for Katsuragi, so we'll need some his DNA… we also need some ingredients from Hell, which I'll leave to Rimyuel… there's also a few items that you can get from a supermarket… there's only one thing that I don't know where we will be able to get it from."
"That is?"
"Rock salt," Haqua responded, "the big chunks, not the ones in those grinders you can buy."
There was a pause before Minami shakily lifted her hand.
"I-I can get that," she said nervously, "they use it to purify the pool here."
"That's great then," Nikaidou clapped her hands together, "do you know how to drive, Jun?"
Jun bristled.
"I have my license, but I don't get…"
"That's perfect, then," Nikaidou nodded thoughtfully, "Rimyuel can go get the things from hell, Minami-chan can get the rock salt, then you can take the other girls to the nearest supermarket and purchase the rest of the things you need."
"Eeeeh," Jun protested, but that went unheard.
"What about the DNA?" Haqua asked.
"We'll get it from the room after Katsuragi is done. We all know how well it went the last time anyone entered."
Kanon couldn't even feel abashed at the look Nikaidou gave her. Maybe it wasn't well, but she sure as hell didn't regret that… she just wouldn't admit it to anyone.
For a moment, Orange met pink and Kanon's small smile froze at Nanaka's straight face. The shougi enthusiast pointed her thumb towards the door and mouthed something that she couldn't quite read, but at the same time, she was fairly certain what it was.
They had to talk.
So there you have it. Haqua kisses Keima, the girls split themselves in half again, but not before updating the tally marks on the board, and Keima goes to spend some time with Eri, Kusunoki and Hinoki... pretty standard setup for the coming chapters.
Though I do also want to bring up something from the tallying scene - in reference to how they do it in Japan, tallies aren't actually made with four vertical lines and one diagonal line across, but rather, they use the kanji 正 as the five lines. It's the kanji for "right/correct", and while Kanon does the first two strokes, Nanaka draws the last three, thus completing the kanji... random symbolism noone care about, but whatever.
Also, little summary for how there are 12 tally marks:
1. Yui - some unspecified time at the start of the lesson
2. Tenri - during her individual session
3. Nanaka - during her individual session
4. Minami - who will never admit that she got excited by Hinoki's story
5. Minami - by the end of the circle
6. Tsukiyo - by the end of the circle
7. Shiori - by the end of the circle
8. Eri - by the end of the circle
9. Chihiro - in the bathroom with Keima
10. Kanon - when Nanaka walked in on her once Keima was gone
11/12. Nanaka with Kanon
Only one not really written down is Keima's, but he'll have to do that later.
I do have the next chapter ready and I hope to post it up soon. Though I'm trying, my inherent laziness is basically the same as ever.
So responding to reviews:
Ghost Man: Hehe, it would be great if Ayumi could find pizza and gatorade, but you generally won't find the former in a vending machine. I think my mum told me about the coke and really salty chips are good for low blood sugar.
There was definitely some mutual "blowing away" between Nanaka and Kanon, and I'm excited to continue that plotline. Though this story has a few too many plot threads, so hopefully that will be soon.
Hmm, though I find it interesting that you call "thinking about your friend in a sexual way" normal. I mean, if they're friends with benefits, then sure... I just dunno how normal it is to have a friend like that.
Heh, your joke sounds like you're doing a stand-up routine there. Hopefully the next one will have better reception.
Also, yay! Haqua is here. What do you think I should pay her?
Xellos540: Here, have some more spicy Kaminomi. I hope you enjoyed a slightly less spicy chapter this time. Though I guess Haqua and Keima kissing is pretty scandalous... those degenerates!
Though I don't imagine that Keima makes her sleepy... my idea is that Nanaka has low blood sugar, which is why her coming a few too many times made her faint, and why juice and coke makes her hyper. We even see the juice thing in canon.
Also, casual reminder that Keima did feed Dokurou a few times, so you could say that the motion hits a bit too close to home for her.
Also, most girls wear their panties under their tights... or what I noticed from high school, as I've never worn tights in my life :P
Oh, lookie here... there's more spicy Chihiro and Keima banter in this chapter too. Isn't that great?
Though I see you were talking about some coding language catonating two strings, but fanfiction cut it off? I bet it's one of the C languages.
Oh, and no... I think Keima and Chihiro would both need to agree to that, but we'll see if Chihiro brings it up herself.
Also, I did reference your fanfiction, because it's interesting, and if I could come up with a believable way to restore the girl's memories, I would.
Also, I can actually believe that you might be my biggest fan. Thanks for the vote of confidence, and I hope you enjoy what will happen now that Haqua has joined the party.
Thank you all for reading this chapter, and I hope that you all are well and stay well. I also have a question to you guys.
One thing I didn't like about the ending was Elsie rewriting the world. Does that mean that canon didn't actually take place, or that it took place, but just in a slightly different way? I'd like to hear your guys' opinions on that in the reviews, but I know that most people don't really write reviews.
Even still, i'd be really grateful and happy to hear what you think, both about the question and the chapter.
I'll hopefully see ya'll soon then. Bye bye.
