After what happened the last day, i was hoping that things in school will be calm and peaceful for me today. But knowing Kremant, that's something that is not going to happen anytime soon.
Ionas: *Weary Sigh*
I'm starting to get really tired with all this. Anyway, before the first school period begins, i went to where the school lockers are, to take what i need to take from mine for the next classes. When i open it, what i find inside gives me a really big surprise.
Ionas: ... *Oddly Surprised* Eh?
~ A Few Minutes Later~In class~
Saruyama: *Greatly Surprised* Eeh~!
Saruyama, Rito, and two other random guys were standing around my desk, looking at what i left on it after coming in class. It was love letters. Seven of these to be precise.
Ionas: *Still A Bit Surprised* Can you believe this? Cause i'm still trying to understand how the heck this happened.
Guy 1: *Sweat Drop* So many love letters...
Saruyama: *Jealous And Upset* You lucky, bastard!
Ionas: *Serious* Call me with names like that again, and a punch is coming right at you.
Saruyama: *Sweat Drop* S-Sorry.
Rito: So, Ion, have you seen from who those are?
Ionas: Not yet. *Somewhat Troubled* I am actually kinda nervous about it. This is the first time that i receive love letters, you see.
Saruyama: *Sweat Drop* And you are also the newest student in this school. *Jealous* How the hell did you receive love letters before we even receive ours?
Ionas: *Bored* Maybe because some of you sometimes like to peep at girls? They don't really find it nice when you act like that at them, you know. *Still A Bit Surprised* But still, for me to receive something like this so suddenly, and doing pretty much nothing at my time here, is pretty darn unexpected.
Guy 2: *Jealous* I'm so jealous!
Ionas: Anyway, i'll just open the letters to see what is waiting for me inside.
I opened most of them, seeing much of good writing and nice enough characters till now. However, i found no name in the letters from those who wrote them. Probably too shy.
Ionas: Ok, only one is left. Let's see...
I open the last letter, and begin to read it.
Ionas: "Hey there, hot stuff. I want you to-"
Just before i say more, i notice some really lewd things that are written farther in this letter. When the other four read it as well out of curiosity, their faces turn red due to what they saw. Especially Rito's.
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Who the heck even wrote-?
That moment, i hear muffled gigglings close by, and when i look around, i notice Risa and Mio trying to hold back their laughs. If i had to guess, i would say this letter belongs to them
Ionas: *To Them* Really now?
Mio: *Amused* You had to see the look on your faces!
Risa: *Amused* Sorry, we couldn't resist.
Rito: *Blush* *Sweat Drop* That one is yours?!
Mio: *Smile* Yep!
Risa: *Smile* And after seeing you reactions, i can say it was totaly worth it!
I hate those kind of pranks. Especially if they are dirty-like!
Ionas: *Smile* In this case, let me show you how much i appreciate your little prank.
By saying that, i rip their letter slowly apart, crumple the pieces together, and throw the paper ball i made away and straight inside the trash can nearby.
Risa: *Sweat Drop* Oh come on now, it was just an innocent prank!
Mio: *Sweat Drop* Yeah. Why you act so offended?
Ionas: *Serious* Because when you talk or write in an unacceptable way, then don't expect me to laugh at it.* *Raises An Eyebrow* I mean, seriously now, you know what character i am. You must have seen that coming.
Mio: *Sweat Drop* Well, he is kinda right on that one.
Risa: *Sweat Drop* Ok, sorry for the prank then. We didn't want to ruin your mood so much.
Ionas: Oh well, since you apologized, it's fine i guess.
Risa: Still, seeing all those letters in your locker was quite a surprise. *Smile* You must have become quite famous during your time here.
Ionas: And i don't even remember doing anything special to attract such attention. And i do not count the robot incident. Still, i have no idea what to do with these letters. They have no names, and no meeting locations. There are only compliments and pretty much nice words in them. Which is good, but why even bother to send me letters and not just talk to me in person?
Mio: Maybe they are just too shy to face you.
Ionas: In any case, i wouldn't really accept any love request just like that.
Rito: Huh? Why not?
Ionas: Because if i don't know them well enough, then i will have no idea how to feel for them. I'm not the type of guy who falls in love at first sight. I need my time to know exactly with what kind of girl i am dealing with, so i can be sure if i can trust that person or not.
Risa: Well, i guess you do have a point.
*Bell Sound*
Took some time for the bell to ring, somehow. Anyway, the moment the bell rings, the first class period begins.
~After The First School Period~
The bell rings, and the class was over for now. I leave the class, and start walking through the hallways as always. There is something that passed through my mind for a moment during the class period. The girls who sent the letters to me, without counting Risa's and Mio's prank of course, are from the same class as i am, or are they from different classes as well? And also, should i feel lucky for such a thing, or not. There are times i really can't understand my luck at all. On one side, i feel flattered knowing that some girls find me good enough to like me. But on the other side, i feel bad for them, because if i had to choose between one of them, the rest would be disappointed by the rejection, and i really hate the idea of seeing someone crying. And of course i would never do that harem thing just to make this easy for everyone like Momo tries to! That would be a BAD idea for many reasons!
Ionas: *Sigh* So tiring thinking about such things.
While i was walking about, i see Momo surrounded by lots of guys, who were walking along with her.
?1: *Serious* Boys who wish to speak with Momo-San must get our permission first!
Oh, it must be the episode with the VMC (Venus Momo Club). Wait, isn't that guy the one i've beaten up due to my rage the other time? (It was apparently the one called Nakajima that time) He has a role in this episode? I don't remember him from the series at all. He must have had a really small appearance. Also, just by looking at Momo's annoyed face, i know for sure that she starts to realize that this fan club thing is not as good as she thought it will be, considering how much it prevents her from meeting up with Rito properly that is. Well, in a way that's pretty funny knowing her character. Anyway, let's go talk to her for a moment. I start walking toward the group of the VMC, and then one of them spots me.
?2: *Shocked* N-Nakajima. Isn't that...
Nakajima: Huh?
The guy looks at me coming on their way, and becomes paralyzed and pale from fear. Nakajima is his name he said? OH, wait, now i remember who he is from the series! Wow, and to think that i've actually beaten up some time ago the one who is in charge of the VMC... Actually that makes me feel a little bit satisfied somehow about my actions back there. When i finally approached them, i stop in front of them and look at them all. When finally all of them notice me, some of them seemed angry for stopping them.
Momo: (Huh? Ion?)
?3: *Annoyed* Hey, out of the way!
I decided to not listen and remain in my position, while crossing my arms. I'm curious to see what they will do about it. I just can't take these guys seriously.
?4: *Annoyed* If you don't move now, we will move you ourselves, punk!
?2: *Alarmed* D-Don't do anything you will regret!
Guys: Huh?
?2: *Sweat Drop* He is the one we told you about!
?4: *Sweat Drop* You mean the brute who sent Nakajima at the infirmary in a really bad condition?
Great, now they even call me "brute". Looking at me again all of them, i could see that they begin to have second thoughts about dealing with me. I kinda feel bad for them. I start walking closer, having as a result every single one of them to start walking backward until Momo was standing in front of them by herself. When that happens, i stop in front of her.
Nakajima: *Realization* Ah-* *At The VMC* *Upset* You idiots, you forgot our Momo!
Ionas: Don't worry, guys, i just want to talk to her for a moment.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* *Smile* Wow, you really scared these poor guys.
Ionas: After what i did that one time, it's not a surprise. Anyway-
By saying that, i crouch a little in front of her, and bring my face somewhat closer to hers.
Ionas: *Grin* How does it feels having a fan club dedicated entirely to you? *Sarcastic* I bet you must like it quite a bit judging by your face.*
Momo: ... (This guy is just messing with me again, isn't he?)
Ionas: *Cheeky* You know, i was planning at the beginning to help you get out of this mess, but since i see you have no actual problem with it, i guess i will just leave you and your fan club alone to stroll around undisturbed.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* *Smile* W-Well, actually-
Ionas: *Serious-Looking But Cheeky* No need to tell me details about how much fun you have with your new friends. You can tell me about it after school.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* But i don't-
Ionas: *Looks Fakely At His Phone's Clock* *Smiling And Cheeky* Sorry, Momo, no time to be standing around doing nothing important at all. I need to do my own stroll as well while i have time to spend doing all the things i want, while i have no one to get in my way just because i allow them to.
Momo:(Oh, i see what you did there...)
Ionas: Anyway, i better get out of your way now. *Waves His Hand* See ya, all!
And like that i start to walk away, moving past Momo and the group of the VMC.
Momo: *Irritated* (Just you wait, Ion. I will make sure to pay you back for that! Somehow.)
After remembering something, i stop and turn around, looking at that Nakajima guy.
Ionas: Hey, "Nakajima" was your name?
Nakajima: *Scared* Y-Yes!
Ionas: *Apologetic* Just wanted to say sorry again for the beat up the other time. I was not myself.
Nakajima: *Scared* O-Ok, n-no problem. *Awkward Laugh*
Still afraid i see.
Ionas: *Sigh* Oh well. Just remember to stay out of trouble this time, or else even Momo might get angry.
The guys of the VMC and Momo were confused by what i said.
Ionas: Ok, that was all. Bye.
And without saying anything else, i start to walk away again. I know i was a real jerk for acting like that toward Momo back there, but i just can't help it, i like teasing people like her! Now that i think about it, i like teasing both Momo and Nana, in a different way each. Could it be because they are sisters?
Ionas: *Thinking* Hmm...
Maybe i should start teasing Lala as well.
Ionas: ... *Pfft* Nah!
That would be just ridiculous. She is way too much of a kid in mind to do that. It would take hours for her to understand if i even tease her or not!
Ionas: ...
Wait, what i was thinking about before i run into Momo and her fan club?
Nana: Hey, Ion!
I look in front of me, and see Nana and Mea coming my way.
Mea: *Smile* Hey, Ion-Senpai!
Ionas: Hello, girls, what's up?
Nana: Just passing by. What about you?
Ionas: I was trying to remember about some- *Remembers* AH, now i remember!
Nana: Eh?
Ionas: You will not believe what i found in my locker this morning, Nana!
After saying that, i take out of my pocket the love letters i received.
Nana: Wait, are those-?
Ionas: Yes, they are.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* No way!
Mea: I don't understand why the surprise. All i see is just letters.
I guess she has no idea what is going on here.
Ionas: Let me explain then, Mea, so you can understand why the fuss.
Without losing much time, i explained what those are, and what is their purpose.
Mea: *Smile* Aah, so they are letters of shy people that like you!
Ionas: Well, not the way i would put it, but yes.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* How that happened?!
Ionas: Don't ask me. I have a hard time understanding how this myself.
Mea: *Smile* You must feel very lucky for attracting so much attention upon you, Ion-Senpai.
Ionas: Actually that's the problem. I'm not sure if i should really feel lucky about it or not.
Mea: Why not?
Ionas: I'm used on direct conversation. You know, face to face talk. And considering these letters have no names on them, and no meeting locations as well, makes things a total mystery for me. Also, now that i think about it, *Troubled* what if those who wrote them are watching me like creeps right now?
By saying that, i start looking around to see if anyone is watching me in secret.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Ion, calm down! No one is watching you in secret. Listen, i somewhat get how strange this might be to you, but see it like this. If those who wrote the letters decide to eventually appear, you will just make things clear, and tell them you're simply not interested in such things, or something like that.
Ionas: Right...*Realizes* Wait a second, *Raises An Eyebrow* what makes you think that i will reject them just like that?
Nana: Eh? *Blush* *Sweat Drop* W-Well...
Ionas: ... *Cheeky Smile* Nana? You don't like the thought of seeing me with other girls, do you? Afraid your friend will not pay as much attention to you as he does now?
Talking about myself obviously.
Nana: *Blushing And Upset* W-What are you talking about?! I'm just stating a point! It's not like i care with who you are with or not? Also you're the one who got all worried about it from the start, not me!
Nana then looks the other way angry while crossing her arms. Oh my god, this is too perfect. It will be so fun!
Ionas: *Sarcastic* Ok then, since you have no actual problem with it, i guess that if i get to meet up with those girls, i might as well give them a chance with me. Sounds good to you?
Nana: *Blushing And Upset While Still Looking Away* I already told you that i don't care! Do what you want!
Mea at the moment appears to watch, amused at the whole thing.
Ionas: *Amused Smile* If you say so.
I really LOVE teasing this girl every time she brings out her tsundere side! I know that making someone jealous in any way is not a good thing, but since it's her, i'll make an exception. But i guess i must stop. For now at least.
Ionas: Anyway, i better get going now. There are things that i need to do. See you two, later!
Mea: *Smile* Ok, see you, Senpai!
And like that, i leave Nana and Mea alone, and start to walk away.
Nana: ... *Pouty Face* Idiot.
~A Few Minutes Later~
I was standing beside an open window, resting on its frame and looking at people outside, while thinking about what to TRULY do with this whole "love letters" situation.
Ionas: *Thinking* I could go search for the writters, but the fact that the letters give no signs about who wrote them, makes this real difficult. And it would be VERY foolish of me to just simply go around and ask the other students if THEY were those who wrote them or not randomly like that, or if they happen to know them.
Maybe i just need to forget about it and move on already. Well, at least i was lucky enough to mess around a little with Nana about it.
Kremant: You really like teasing that girl, don't you?
After hearing that, Kremant was already beside me, looking at me while wearing the usual grin on his "face".
Ionas: *Sigh* You.
Kremant: Still mad about-?
Ionas: *Annoyed* Yes!
Kremant: Oh well, hatred toward the producer is in the program. Back to the topic now. *Grin* You like teasing your girl, eh?
Ionas: *Bored* She is not and you know it.* But yeah, i like it in a way. *Somewhat Amused* She is acting in such a way, that makes me want to tease her about it more and more every time.
Kremant: Because she is a tsundere you mean.
Ionas: *Bored* You read minds, so i think you already know.* Also, why am i even talking to you about such things when you can just read my mind?
Kremant: The real question is, why not? Also, you know how the tsundere fact works, right?
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Hm?
Kremant: I mean, you know what makes a tsundere tsundere, no?
Ionas: Of course i know. It's when someone is acting with a certain combative-like attitude toward others, but at the same time she or he in reality is kind on the inside. Those characters have a REALLY hard time admitting how to show that kindness, and struggle with it in a funny way.
Kremant: Well, you are not wrong on that. But you forgot one small detail. *Grin* They usually do that when they, even a little, like someone. *Wink* In the loving way of course. I mean, why you think she keeps acting all tsundere around you most of the time?
Ionas: She does that toward Rito too, you know.
Kremant: Well, not exactly. She is harsh toward Rito, yes, but if you remember correctly, she is mostly doing that because of his bad habit of falling and groping. Even though she might like him a little bit, for the kindness he showed during the "series". Toward you, she is acting like that as well, but as you saw during your days in this world, she is not THAT harsh, and she is actually friendly to you. What do you think that might means?
Ionas: *Rolls Eyes* Forget it, Kremant. You will not make me believe such a thing. I know how mischievous you can be, and how far you will go just to have a good laugh and a "show" to watch. Seriously now, you're trying to make me believe such a thing from the very beginning!
Kremant: Well, not from the very very begining, but yes, pretty much you're right on that one. Still, let me tell you that i'm not lying about what i've told you so far. That's all i'm going to say about it for now.
The way he speaks appears to be truthful, but you never know when it comes to characters like him. I can't just believe whatever he says just like that!
Kremant: By the way, there is something i forgot to mention yesterday.
Ionas: What about?
Kremant: *Grin* About the stress you've been put through that time.
Ionas: I think i already know about that.
Kremant: Not fully.
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Hm?
Kremant: For example, did you know that I was the reason that Yui had WAY too much work to do it on her own that time, making her by that way go ask for YOUR help? OR that I was the teacher who told Saki and the other two about your threatening behavior, leading them to try and kick you out of the school? And of course let's not forget about the time you couldn't find Tearju during the last school periods. *Grin* Yeah, i was the reason behind that one too.
Ionas: So, you've played an EVEN bigger role in my stress that time! *Irritated* I had to expect something like that from you, actually.* But wait, how did you even hide Tearju that time? *Thinking* She didn't say anything about being kidnapped, or something like that.
Kremant: I didn't take her away that time. I just made her invisible in YOUR eyes. That's all.
Ionas: *Confused* ... What?
Kremant: I have the power to do that too. *Big Grin* Very good trick, isn't it?
So that's why i couldn't find Tearju anywhere that time!
Kremant: *Chuckling*
Ionas: *Irritated* You...
I hate it when he makes a fool out of me! That ghost is too tricky for its own good!
Kremant: Anyway, now that that has been explained too, one more thing before i leave.
Ionas: *Sigh* What more?
Kremant: Someone is watching you behind that corner over there.
Ionas: Eh- Wha-?
I turn around and look at the hallway's corner, and I see for a split-second something moving behind that corner.
Ionas: Is someone there?
No response. It's weird though. For a moment it felt like someone was watching me. Wait a moment.
Ionas: *Annoyed* Kremant, was that one of your tricks again?
When i turn to look at where Kremant was standing, i see that he was nowhere to be found.
Ionas: *Frustrated* And~, he is gone. Typical.
Was that really just a distraction from Kremant, or someone was REALLY watching me? Considering the love letters i received, it could even be one of those girls who sent them.
Ionas: *Frustrated* What a pain...
It seems that i was right when i told to Nana that they might be watching me like creeps. Great, just GREAT! Like i didn't have enough in my head as it is already! I just hope this is not going to continue till the end of the school.
~After The Last School Period~In Class~
Ionas: *Weary*
Now i'm sure about it. Receiving those letters was, undoubtedly, bad luck.
*Bell Sound*
With the last ringing of the bell, the school comes to its end. While i was leaving from the class to go downstairs, with my destination being the school's gate so i can meet up with the others, i was thinking about the reason i ended up thinking why those letters was bad luck for me. During all the today's school periods, i was being watched by everywhere. And not the normal kind by pretty much being watched by everyone due to my height. No. That was different. I could see a few people watching me in secret. And every time i was THAT close to see who they were, i could find no trace from them in the end. This uncomfortable feeling of being watched like that, is awful!
Ionas: *Frustrated* All i wanted was just a peaceful day in school for once. Was i asking for much?!
After reaching the school's gate, i see only Nana, along with Celine, waiting there. I wonder where the other three are.
Nana: Here you are at las- *Notices* Whoa, you look awful. *Sweat Drop* Did something happen?
Ionas: *Still A Bit Weary-Like* Just a bit tired, nothing to worry. Are the others still inside the school?
Nana: Big sis and that beast went to help his dad with something. As for Momo, *Sweat Drop* she is being accompanied by those creepy idiots from her club to home.
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Was it safe to just leave her with them?
Nana: No need to worry. Those guys are so dedicated to her, that i don't think they will do anything more than just helping her around.
Ionas: If you say so.
I know that i don't really need to worry, but like Kremant said the other time, this is not the world of To Love-Ru that i know from the past. You never know if something different from what it is known to me might happens here. So yeah, i need to worry if only a little about it.
Celine: Mau, mau!
While making that sound, Celine was pulling one of my pants' legs to gain my attention. I crouch down to come closer to the little one.
Ionas: *Smile* Let me guess, you wanna become tall again?
Celine: Mau!
Ionas: *Smile* Ok then.
By saying that, i grab Celine by her sides, and place her on my shoulders to give her a proper shoulder ride.
Ionas: *Smile* Here you go. Hope you have fun on your ride.
Celine: *Excited* Mau!
That cute little thing brought a smile on my face after what i went through. Kinda.
Ionas: Ok, Nana, let's get going.
Nana: Yeah.
And like that, we started walking on the way for home. While we were walking, i kept thinking about how my day at school was today, and become once again really troubled about it.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Are you sure you're alright? Seriously, Ion, what's with the-?
Ionas: *Troubled* It's because i was right from the very beginning.
Nana: *Confused* Huh? What are you talking about?
Ionas: *Troubled* I'm talking about the love letters, Nana. Remember what i said, right? That their writers might be watching me like creeps. Well, i was right! I noticed some people watching me in secret during school today! And no! I am not hallucinating!
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Whoa, are you sure about it?
Ionas: *Troubled* Of course i am! And i don't like it!
Nana: *Sweat Drop* I-Ion, calm down!
Ionas: *Troubled* How can i stay calm when i'm being watched like that! I mean, i know that Kremant and his friends are watching me secretly too, but i'm ok with that in a way because i know with what i am dealing with. But this is different!
Nana:*Sweat Drop* If they are troubling you that much, why don't you then-
Ionas: *Irritated* If you are about to say something like "go grab them and tell them to stop that" then i'm sorry to disappoint you, but i already tried to do that. *Troubled* I just can't reach them in time before they disappear. I haven't even seen their faces fully to know who they even are! *Weary* It's so tiring all this...
Nana: I see... *Sigh*Well, since you seem to not be able to do much by yourself, i'm gonna help you with your problem.
Ionas: You will? *Confused* Real nice of you, but how come?
I mean, i WAS quite the smart-*ss to her about it before, so-
Nana: *Blushing And Seemingly Annoyed* D-Don't misunderstand! I'm not doing it for you!It's just that seeing your troubled face ruins my mood, and i don't want to face it every single day, that's all!
Ionas: ...
Ok, i don't know why, but in a way, that sounded pretty cute.
Ionas: *Heartwarming Smile* Thank you.
Nana: *Blushes And Turns Her Head The Other Way In Embarrassment* I-I-It's nothing.
I was very unlucky with those love letters i received today, i know that. But, if i'm sure about one thing now, is that i am lucky to have a good friend like her by my side to help me out when in trouble.
~Hours Later~In Rito's House~
I was in the living room, resting on the couch and watching TV. Nana was watching TV with me as well, but was lying onto the floor while doing that for some reason. Mikan and Momo were in the kitchen preparing the dinner, while Celine was on the table close by, looking forward for some good cooked food. As for Lala and Rito, well, they are still nowhere to be found. I have no idea where they are supposed to be now according to the series.
Ionas: I wonder where those two are.
Nana: Maybe they are still helping his dad.
Ionas: Let's just hope they are not in any trouble.
Nana: Don't worry, i bet they are just fine. That's my big sis we are talking about, after all.
I don't doubt her ability to face any threat head-on, but still telling me not to worry is pretty much impossible with those robots around, and Kremant's mischievous character at play. Anyway, looking at the screen again, i notice that a TV commercial has replaced what we were watching at the moment.
Ionas: *Bored* I hate TV commercials.
Nana: *Bored* Me too.* I'll go check if food is ready.
Nana gets up and goes to the kitchen. While she was gone, i started searching the TV via its remote to find a good channel to watch. I found nothing so far but commercials. In the end, i found nothing at all.
Ionas: *Real Bored* So bored right now.
Nana: Hey, Ion.
Nana was back from the kitchen.
Ionas: Is food ready?
Nana: Almost. Also, don't wait for the other two to come back home.
Ionas: They are not coming?
Nana: No, i just heard that they will stay in his dad's place to help him more for the time being.
Ionas: Oh. I see.
I forgot that this happens in this episode. Knowing Momo, she must be pretty depressed about it.
Ionas: ... *Sly Smile*
A thought came to my mind. And it's a VERY teasing one. Partially.
Nana: *Raises An Eyebrow* Why are you smiling like that?
Ionas: Eh? *Smile* Oh, it's nothing, i just thought about something funny.
Mikan: *From The Kitchen* Food is ready!
Ionas: *Excited* Awesome!
And like that, we sit at the table, and start to eat.
~Some Minutes Later~
As always, the food was simply the best. Mikan and Momo really know how to make a good meal.
Ionas: *Pleased* Satisfying as always. My congrats to the cooks.
Mikan: *Smile* Oh, it was nothing.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* *Smile* Yeah, nothing...* Anyway, i finished as well. I hope you don't mind, i will go to bed earlier today. I'm very tired. See you tomorrow.
Nana: Oh ok, see you tomorrow, Momo.
And like that, Momo gets up, and walks upstairs to her room. Well, time for me to do what i do best. Make up an excuse to avoid any kind of suspicion.
Ionas: *Seemingly Troubled* Oh, darn! I forgot!
Nana: Huh, what?
Ionas: I wanted to ask Momo something. Better go before she sleeps. See you down in a few minutes, girls.
And so, i start running upstairs, till i reach the front of the device that leads to Momo's room. Without thinking about it much, i push the button and the device teleports me inside a big room with three doors around. I walk to each, checking in which i can hear movements inside, till i find the door that leads to Momo's room. Now, how should i proceed on this one?
Ionas: *Sly Smile*
After a few seconds of delay, i open the automatic door, and go in suddenly.
Ionas: *Cheeky* WAZZU* *Notices* uuup...
I was gonna say that with a louder tone at the end, but then i noticed that Momo was half-naked and still changing. Awkward.
Momo: *Blushing And Surprised* I-Ion, what are you-?
Ionas: *Facepalm* So much for the frigging scare prank!
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Eh?
Ionas: *Still Covering His Eyes* *Sigh* Just call me when you are finished dressing, ok? We need to talk about something.
And like that, i close the door, and wait outside. I know that i had to expect that, but when it comes to pranking, i can be very careless.
Ionas: Finished or still?
Momo: *From Inside* Just a minute.
Is it me, or girls dress too slowly.
Momo: *From Inside* Ok, you can come in now.
I open the door again, and go in.
Ionas: Firstly, i apologize for the sudden appearance. I didn't know you were changing.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* I-It's ok. But that's strange, don't you usually knock before you open a door, Ion? I know how formal you are when it comes to such things.
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Well, yes, but when it comes to scaring someone, i can't be that nice.* Anyway, let's forget about what happened earlier, and focus on what i want to talk about. So, you are sad that Rito will not be here today, eh?
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Why you think i-?
Ionas: *Bored* You love him like crazy. Need to say more?
Momo: ... *Sigh* Alright, you're right, i'm sad that he is not here today. It was so sudden.
Ionas: And the fact that you learned the last moment that he will not be here for the night doesn't make this easier for you, right? Not to mention that being with your fan club eats too much of your time, and pretty much makes it impossible for you to meet him even during school. That must be quite awful for you.
Momo: *Upset* And what do you want now?! To rub it in my face?! Don't think that i don't know how much you enjoy seeing me like that!
Ionas: *Somewhat Troubled* Whoa! I think you've got the wrong idea there.* Yes, i like messing around when i'm in the mood to do so, but not at the level you speak of. I don't enjoy making others THAT depressed.Not at all. Remember that i stopped blocking you at nights. Just to bring an example.
Momo: ... *Still A Bit Upset* Ok, but even if you mean that, it is still your fault for not helping me get out of the trouble with the club.
Ionas: *Serious* Hey, your fault for not being honest with them.* I know that you don't want to ruin that sweet picture they all have for you at school, but you could at least give them a death glare or something. You know, to show them that you don't really appreciate what they do for you. *Crosses Arms* Or am i wrong on that?
Momo: ... No, you're not. *Sweat Drop* But i can't just scare them off like that. That would be too-
Ionas: Then have that in mind. If you leave things as they are, then how do you plan to meet up with Rito in the end? And even if that works, how long will it take you to decide to end this fan club parody?
Momo: ... *Thoughtful*
Ionas: Anyway, i don't want to waste your time more with that. Also, the others are probably still waiting for me downstairs, so... Yeah, i need to get going. Have a nice sleep.
And like that, i walk out of her room, and go on my way downstairs to meet with the rest.
Ionas: Is there anything good in the TV?
Nana: You are unlucky, commercials just started again.
Ionas: *Real Annoyed* DARN!
~The Next Day~At School~After The First School Period~
The first school period ended, and our free period begins at last. I was about to get up the moment our teacher left the class, but thinking about the fact that i will need to run around the school to search for those mysterious girls that have been watching me lately, makes me feel really tired with the whole thing. Maybe i should try to relax for a moment before i leave the class. While i was remaining on my seat, i notice that Rito was sleeping at his desk. Helping his dad must be exhausting for him to sleep at a time like this.
{Because the following scenes are going to be from the actual anime, i will be quick with it}
That moment, i see Haruna approaching him, worried about him. Then from behind Risa started sexually teasing her by groping her chest along with Mio, having as a result in the end for Haruna to lose her footing, and fall with her breast onto Rito's sleeping face. When he wakes up, lots of surprise for both of them before they pull themselfs away in embarrassment. It was quite a funny scene for me. Then out of nowhere, Lala, wearing her "alien suit"(You know which), flies straight at Rito, hugging him, which draws Yui's attention, who was stating something about "illicit relationships are prohibited in school". While Rito was questioning where she was, Lala answered that she was making something to give him a boost, so he can stay awake. While saying that, she revealed a little box she brought with her, that had that strange black, moving, food-like thing coming out of the said box's sides.
Ionas: *Realization* Oh.
While Rito was sleepily about to open the box, i quickly run out of the class, close the door behind me, and move to the wall beside it. That moment, a small explosion is heard inside the class. After a few seconds, i open the door again and look inside. Somehow, Rito and Yui ended up in a really embarrassing position onto the floor due to the explosion, while all the others were just fine.
Ionas: *Confused* Ok...
I close the door again, and move away, knowing very well what will happen next. Poor guy, he always ends up in situations that puts him in trouble. I'm starting to wonder if it's really because of his bad balance that things like that happen to him, or because he is just incredibly unlucky.
Kremant: I can answer to that if you want.
Kremant appears out of nowhere behind me. Not surprising at all anymore. I turn around and face him.
Ionas: Oh really? Because in case you didn't notice, that has nothing to do with a mind thing.
Kremant: *Grin* Or does it?
Ionas: ... *Raises An Eyebrow* It does?
Kremant: Well, of course. But, because the explanation might be a little confusing, i will say it in a simple way so you can understand me.
Kremant turns himself into a TV in the middle of the school hallway, and is about to start his usual explanation.
Ionas: *Sigh* Of course.
Kremant (TV): See, all those weird reactions of his, that gets him in such ridiculous situations all the time, have to do with his nervous system.
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* His nervous system?
Kremant (TV): You know, the one that regulates and controls the functions of all organs and pretty much of all the muscles of the human body. I'm sure you remember something from the teachers of your old schools about it. Anyway, the brain is known to give orders to the nervous system, telling it pretty much what to do, like how that limb will move, as an example. Now think about it. What happens if the brain the moment it gives orders is utterly confused due to certain events? Well, in that case it will give most of the time confused orders. Which the nervous system will execute anyway. I think you already know what happens to him after that.
Ionas: So, you say that the reason all those accidents happen to him most of the time, is because he can't focus enough to control his own body?
Kremant (TV): Yep! That's pretty much the reason! And with such a big embarrassment he feels because of the girls around him every time, the confusion is so big, that his brain is unable to give the right orders to its nervous system, so he can stop moving and falling so... Inappropriately. The only way to stop that from happening again and again would be for him to change, even a little, his way of thinking. So he can understand that the reason of his confusion is not really such a big deal. And if that keeps happening even then, well, then his brain must have some kind of damage in it. Conclusion? Luck has pretty much nothing to do with anything here.
Well, that might explains why Rito is like that. Unfortunately, i don't think i can help a character like that to learn how to focus or change the way he sees things. Oh well, at least it's still funny the way he ends up, and no one's life is really in danger because of that. He still gets beaten up, though. Anyway, Kremant that moment turns back to his original form.
Kremant: Well, since i explained that, you know what else that means, *Grin* right?
Ionas: *Somewhat Troubled* Umm, what?
Kremant: That i... *Wink* Will now need to go due to my daily routine. See ya!
And like that, he disappeared.
Ionas: ... Ok.
For a moment there i thought he was gonna say something surrealistic again.
Nana: Ion!
I look to the side, and see Nana along with Mea coming my way. Nana seems pretty annoyed for some reason.
Nana: *Upset* Where the hell were you?! Do you know for how long we've been waiting for you to show up?
Mea: *Waves Her Hand And Smiles* Hi, Senpai.
Ionas: *Remembers* Oh right, the meeting for the search. *Rubs Head Out Of Embarrassment* Sorry, i was kinda restless and totally forgot about it.* Wait, did you called Mea to help as well?
Nana: Yeah. I thought it will be more helpful to have one more to search with us.
I'm not really sure that asking Mea for help was a good idea, but whatever.
Ionas: *Shrugs* Ok, acceptable i guess.* So, what is the plan to find those stalkers?
Nana: It's simple. All you have to do is walk around as usual, while we follow you from far behind, to see if anyone is following you suspiciously.
Ionas: And then?
Nana: And then we catch them and tell them to stop.
Ionas: I think that's a little too direct. Shouldn't you at least be more nice and cautious?
Nana: *Serious* You just follow the plan and leave the rest to us! Ok?
Ionas: *Sigh* Ok.
Mea: *Excited* Alright! Let's go search for Ion's lovers!
Ionas: *Facepalm*
I take it back, her help is not acceptable at all!
~A Few Minutes Later~
The plan was successful at the part where we found some girls following me suspiciously. What was not a success was for us to reach them quickly enough to actually catch them. Seriously, every single time we were THAT close to do so, they were able to run away with great speed. How in the world can they even run so fast?! Also, Mea is not taking this seriously at all to actually help us. She is just messing around.
Ionas: Ok, this is getting us nowhere. They are too fast for us to catch them just like that. Also, the bell is about to ring if i am right.
*Bell Sound*
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Seems like it. *Sigh* What a waste of time. You sure this is not another one of Kremant's tricks again?
Ionas: No idea about it, but i think i have an idea about how to find out who they are. They like watching me wherever i go in school, right? So, here is what we can do in our next free school period.
I start whispering to both of them my plan. Let's hope it will be enough.
~After The Second School Period~
I was in one of the school's hallways, walking seemingly about without looking behind me, before i decide to walk to a specific location upstairs. After a few minutes, i reach the rooftop, and walk to its center. Then, i just stand there and wait for the right moment. I could feel lots of eye looking at me intensively from behind at the moment. I don't really like that feeling.
Nana: Now!
That moment, both Nana and Mea push forcefully those who were hiding behind the rooftop's door, making them pass through and fall down onto the floor by that way. After doing that, Nana and Mea pass through the door as well and close it behind them, and simply stand in front of the said door in order to let no one run away.
Ionas: *To Himself* The plan was a success it seems.
I turn around so i can at last see the faces of those who were watching me secretly all this time. Six short girls were there, confused by what just happened. Also, they actually seem pretty cute now that i actually take a clear look at them.
Mea: *Smile* Well look here, we finaly got them!
Girl 1: *Sweat Drop* Wha-Wha-What?!
Nana: *Serious* Shut it! Now start talking!
I'd like to make a bad joke out of that, but-
Ionas: Nana, chill. No need to be rude now. Let me handle this.
I say as i approach the six girls.
Ionas: So, you plan to stay down at the floor for long, or you will get up so we can talk properly?
The girls look at each other with confused, and then they decide to get up.
Ionas: Good. Now, do you mind telling me why all that?
Girls: Eh?
Ionas: You know, the whole following me around in secret. I know that you might be shy, but you could at least talk to me in person, so we can make things clear. It's quite bothersome the whole "watch you in secret" thing. Don't you agree too?
Girls: ...
After a bit of silence, one appears ready to make the first move.
Girl 1: *Blush* I... We are sorry for the trouble. It's just that i... We like you.
Girl 2: *Blush* We didn't know how to approach you and before we know it-
Girl 3: *Blush* *Lowers Head* We ended up stalking you.
Ionas: I see. Well, i'm not really mad at you for following me around like that. Much. But i'm afraid you lose your time.
Girl 1: *Sweat Drop* W-What do you mean?
Ionas: I mean that i am not looking for any girl of my interest at the moment. I just don't feel like it right now. I am sorry, but you will need to search for someone else. But i don't think it will be that hard for you. *Wink* You all are beautiful enough to ensure a new love almost instantly, by my opinion that is.
Girl 1: *Smile* Y-You really think so?
Ionas: Well, yeah. Just don't start again with the "watch in secret" thing. Sometimes you just need to be brave enough to face them in order to win in love. If they don't accept you, it's mostly their fault. Remember, you need to know them, but most of all, you must know your own self as well. Do that, and you will know what do. Also, don't be too hasty. Take your time with them. *Cheeky* There is a lot of it after all.* But jokes aside, do you understand me?
The girls look at each other for a moment, and then with determined faces, they agree with themselves about something. Oh, don't tell me that my speech did nothing!
Girl 1: *Determined* You are right! There is no need for all that stupid shyness. We will go and try again with other guys. But this time, we will do things right.* *Rubs Head In Embarrassment* Sorry again for the trouble.
Ionas: ... *Smile* No worries, i'm just glad that we made things clear. Now, go and have a nice day, girls.
And like that, the six girls left from the rooftop, and went downstairs with high spirits. Let's just hope that they REALLY understood what i told them. You never know.
Ionas: *Relieved* Phew! Thank god that that went well. For a moment there i thought things will go TOTALLY wrong.
Nana: To tell you the truth, i didn't expect you to get rid of them so easily. *Smile* Nicely done, Ion.
Mea: *Smile* Great speech, Senpai!
Ionas: Thanks, i guess.
Nana: So, those were all, right?
Ionas: Yeah. All six of them. Thanks for helping me end this parody, girls.
Nana: You're welcome. It's so weird though. I really thought Kremant was behind all that again.
Ionas: I guess we were lucky on that. *Somewhat Worried* I don't even want to imagine what would happen if that was one of Kremant's tricks instead.* Anyway, since this is over at last, wanna stroll around as usual?
Nana: *Smile* Sure. Not like we have anything else to do at the moment anyway.
Mea: *Smile* And who knows? We might even find more Ion's lovers to search for!
Nana: *Upset* Mea!
Ionas: *Facepalm* *Sigh*
This girl will never change! Anyway, after we left from the rooftop, the rest of our school day continues normally. With the exceptions that at some points i was noticing Rito running around for his life, and also even getting thrown out of a window because of Yami due to the usual misunderstandings. Poor guy. This may not really have to do with his luck like Kremant said, but considering how hard it is to change such a character's way of thinking, i say that this guys is a really unlucky one. But at the same time, very lucky that he has people who like him the way he is. In the end, one thing is sure. Everyone is lucky in their own unique way. If that guy could just see it that way too... Whatever. Laughter fuel! The next two days were normal as well here at school. Nothing stressing. And somehow, nothing irritating around at all. The only thing that happened was that scene where Momo faced those fan club guys, and put them in their place with a few words and a death glare. She will not have that many problems with them anymore. Good for her. And as for me, i finally got some proper peace and quiet around here. Two whole days, where not even Kremant showed up for once! Too bad not all my days can be as calm. Well, still better than no peace at all.
~In An Unknown, Underground Facility~
In one of the many rooms in the facility, B-R-200 was communicating via a big screen with his scouts.
B-R-200: Is there any new information about that human yet?
Scout (From Screen): Negative, sir.
B-R-200: I see. Keep watching him! And if you learn anything, inform me immediately!
Scout (From Screen): Yes sir!
And with that, the call ended.
B-R-200: *Sigh* These last days were too calm out there around that human. *Frustrated* We learned nothing helpful at all! Damn!
He says the last bit while stomping with his foot the floor beneath once in frustration.
P-M-R-3: And why is that a problem?
B-R-200: Huh?
B-R turns around, and notices P-M leaning against the wall on the side of the room, being half-covered in shadows.
B-R-200: *Confused* W-When did you come in here? I didn't notice anyone getting inside.
P-M-R-3: *Smile* Coming in silence is only ONE of my many specialties, dear sergeant. Now as for the lack of information you have at the moment, i think you are missing the point here.
B-R-200: What do you mean?
P-M-R-3: Well, you were receiving information about that human pretty much everyday. But now suddenly, your scouts are unable to find any new information again for some time. What do you think that means?
B-R-200: ... *Disbelief* Don't tell me that our own soldiers betrayed us!
P-M-R-3: *Somewhat Amused* Oh, no, no, no, that's not what i was trying to say, no.* I meant that maybe there is no other information to gain from that human. Maybe that was all we could learn from him.
B-R-200: I wouldn't be so sure about it, madam. That human has proved us wrong many times already. *Serious* He is not to be taken lightly at all.
P-M-R-3: Who said that i was going to take him lightly?
That moment, lots of glowing eyes appear in the shadows beside her.
Ionas: Something is wrong here.
Nana: What is it this time?
Ionas: Kremant has some time to appear. It usually doesn't take him long to make an appearance out of nowhere.
Nana: It will not make a difference for me if that annoying ghost doesn't show up ever again. We could use a break from him.
Ionas: Probably. But either way, this strange disappearance of his is still worrying, though.
Nana: Whatever. Next time on To Love-Ru: Deception.
Ionas: Maybe if i try to call him-
Nana: Don't even think about it, Ion!
