~In Rito's House~In Ion's Training Room~
Ionas: *Inhales And Exhales* *Pleased* Best day so far.
Around me, there were fifty beetle-type insectbots that were taking positions, surrounding me. Some on the ground, some flying around in the air, and some on top of buildings around the town area. All aiming their weapons at me, ready to shoot at any moment.
Ionas: ... *Grin*
I make my move by creating out of the bones of my arms two big shields around me for cover, and then almost immediately all the insectbots start to shoot at me, trying to hit me behind that cover in vain. After a few seconds, the insectbots that were closer start to throw grenades at me. Seeing the grenades coming, I use my Force Push with both my hands to push away the grenades that were coming close to my cover, changing their trajectory, falling close to some of the soldiers by that way, and blowing them up due to the explosion of each. I then lift the shields, and start to run toward the robots in front of me, while covering myself from the incoming shots. When I get close enough, some of them try to engage me in melee with their spear-like weapons. I quickly make the sides of my shields pointy, and use them to slice and stab through the engaging team with ease. After dealing with that team, I bring the sides of my shields in front of me, aim for the rest of the ground team, and start shooting at them with multiple bone-needles that were being shot from the pointy sides. The ground team stood no chance as they all fall to the needle rain.
Ionas: *Really Pleased* Love this gatling goodness~.
From the sky that moment, the air team was flying fast toward me, ready to engage in melee. Each of them was charging with their spear-like weapons, attempting to strike me before immediately after retreating by going on the other side forward, and repeating the same process again and again. Some of them were even trying to shoot at me while rushing past me. But thanks to my shields and my dodging capabilities, I was able to avoid their attacks, and find the chance to strike each of them with my sharp shields while dodging and blocking, destroying eventually all the members of the air team in the end.
Ionas: *Smile* Definitely improving.
That moment, shots start falling like rain at me from above the buildings, while I use my shields as cover. The remaining targets are scattered at the rooftops. I will need to see their exact locations for now. I gather my strength, and jump high into the sky, reaching higher than the rooftops and seeing all of them around.
Ionas: Targets acquired.
While still into the air, from many parts of my body I extend forcefully multiple bone-like vines, piercing all the enemies from a distance at the rooftops. Then, I spin around, and rip them all to shreds, cutting some small parts from the surrounding buildings as well. The rooftop team is no more, but the fact that I damaged the buildings, even if only a little, really bugs me.
Ionas: *Annoyed* Tsk. I still need work at not damaging property.
I land onto the ground safely, and look around me. There is supposed to be one last enemy remaining somewhere.
?: Your time has come!
I look at the other side of the road, and see B-R-29. Or at least what looks like him. He holds with his upper hands a big sword, with electricity sparking from the blade, and with his lower hands he holds a spear-like weapon, aiming at me.
B-R-29's Clone: Didn't think I would just leave you alone now, did you?
Ionas: B-R, this time we will face each other properly. I have improved a lot since the last time we fought, *Cheeky* but i'm sure you can manage.
B-R-29's Clone: *Serious* Like I'm gonna lose to a human like you! Prepare to die, worm!
B-R rushes forward preparing his weapons for close combat. I change my right shield into a bone-blade on my forearm, while rushing forward as well. When we get close enough to each other, he suddenly backs away and begins to shoot at me with his spear-like weapon, while running backward to keep distance. Knowing how cunning he is, I put my shield in front of me in time, blocking all incoming shots, and then begin to run faster to catch up with him. Closing the distance enough, I strike with my blade, but he dodges it by flying upward the last moment. As soon as he dodges that way, he flies almost immediately downward, with his sword high above his head, ready to slice me up with a vertical strike. I immediately use the Adrenal Activation to dodge his attack, and slice off his two lower hands, forcing him to drop his spear-like weapon, along with his hands of course. He immediately flies up in the air to avoid further confrontation for the moment, while I deactivate my Adrenal Activation.
Ionas: So, what do you think so far?
B-R-29's Clone: *Frustrated* I think that your powers are way too overpowered!
Ionas: I'm actually starting to think so too.
I aim my blade at him that moment, and start to shoot a barrage of bone-blades. He dodges most of them, but some hit and damage his wings, having as a result to make him fall down with his belly first onto the ground. Seeing him down, I leap forward, and was about to stab him on the back of his head. Just before the strike, he raises one of his hands and grabs me by my head, stopping me, and then forcefully pinning me down onto the ground. Holding me with one hand down, he raises his sword with the other hand above his head, and swings it down with all his might, only to be stopped by my shield, which I use to cover both my head and back from his blade in time. As soon as I block the blade, i reshape my bone-shield to cover the middle part of his sword, and then by bringing my arm down, I force the blade onto the ground, keeping it there, and forcing the robot to lean toward the side. Then with my bone-blade on the other arm, I swiftly cut off the hand that was holding me onto the ground. After losing that hand, he let's his stuck to the ground sword, and tries to punch me with his remaining fist in desperation, only for it to be pierced along with his arm within with my blade, stopping his attack.
B-R-29's Clone: *Hateful* I hate you.
Ionas: The feeling is mutual.
Immediately after that, I expand from the blade within his arm small bone-vines, piercing many parts on its inside. And then with a spin of the blade as if it was an actual drill, his entire arm turns into bits. Staggered by that, I find the chance, and with a strong swing of my blade, I decapitate him, letting his headless body fall onto the ground, before disappearing into nothingness.
Ionas: And that's the 10th time I complete the same simulation in this room so far.
With no enemies around anymore, I absorb the bone constructions back into my skeleton, and then a congratulation screen appears in front of me, officialy announcing my victory.
Ionas: *Somewhat Amused* Seriously, it's like I'm inside a literal video game the way this appears before me.
Anyway, I woke up sooner today in order to use this room, and properly prepare myself for my next encounters with the insectbots. And also to check out what crazy stuff i can do with my abilities, of course! The fact that I can manipulate my Skeletal Constructs power in so many ways... For a cheap in energy ability, it is pretty darn overpowered! I literally used it as a dreadful drill moments ago! My god...
Ionas: ... *Smile* Wonder if I can use it as a chainsaw! Like that P-M robot lady. *Excited* Gonna try it in my next training match!
I go close to the console, and was about to select the same mode again.
Ionas: Wait.
I stop myself and think it over.
Ionas: I should probably select something different this time. Can't keep doing the same match now, can i? It will get boring.
I scroll down my choices, and the P-M-R mode I find piques my interest.
Ionas: More advanced, with more organized and faster Praying Mantis-like enemies. Not a bad choice actually. *Notices* Hm?
I notice something at the very bottom of the screen. A choice that looks in a way different in comparison to the others. More colorful for some reason. It reads-
Ionas: "XXXTREME!" *Thinking* Hmm...
An incredibly hard mode maybe? A title only says that much. Better check its description, and see what this is about.
Ionas: "As the name implies, a really extreme challenge for you to complete. Not for the faint-hearted. That means you. Try it on your own accord. If you dare. Enjoy~."
Wait...
Ionas: *Irritated* Is Momo making fun of me through this description, telling me that I'm not capable enough to complete a simple challenge?! I'll show her!
I press the colorful choice, and run to the middle of the town area, readying myself for combat.
Ionas: *Serious* Let's see what this mode has in store for me.
After a few seconds of waiting, the area starts to shift and change around me.
Ionas:Oh, so this mode changes the room too. *Smile* Neat.
After a small delay, when everything around stopped changing, the result was quite a surprise for me.
Ionas: Eh?
The area turned into a bedchamber. And a large one on top of that! Seriously, the space in this room is so much, that i wonder if it can even be considered one! There was also a soft pink lighting covering the entirety of the room.
Ionas: The heck? This doesn't look like a combat area. *Raises An Eyebrow* Why a bedchamber?
Multiple Voices: Io~n.
The moment I hear the voices, I notice from behind of the huge bed many known girls coming out. I was seeing Lala, Mikan, Yami, Mea, Yui, Oshizu, miss Mikado, Tearju, Run, Risa, Mio, Haruna, Saki, Rin, Aya, Momo, and even Nana! All of them completely naked.
Ionas: *Epic Confusion*
What the actual heck?!
Momo's Clone: *Seductive* Oh, Ion... I'm sure this is something you have longed for.
The girls start to slowly approach me.
Momo's Clone: *Seductive* You have been through so much. You must be tired after all those fights. Let us relieve you of your stress. *Giggle*
Ionas: *Disturbed* ... Ok, let's go deactivate this mode, and forget it ever existed.
It is tempting, but it is also a line I will NOT cross. For many reasons! I walk toward the console and prepare to deactivate the mode.
Ionas: *Serious* Momo has a LOT of explaining to do.
I press the button, but nothing happens.
Ionas: Excuse me?
I press the button repeatedly in frustration. After pressing it some more, a description appears on the screen.
Ionas: "This mode cannot be stopped till the objective is complete." *Surprised* WHAT?!
That moment, the clones of Yami's and Mea's use their hair as multiple hands to grab me from a distance, and push me down on my back, holding me in place onto the floor. As i was struggling to free myself, the rest of the girls were getting really close.
Momo's Clone: *Seductive* Don't make this harder for yourself. We only want to help you relax.
The girls were above of me. Faces filled with lust.
Momo's Clone: *Seductive Yet Vindictive* After all, you had it coming for a long time now.
Τhat last one actually sounded quite vindictive for some reason. Some of the girls were clumsily trying to remove my clothes at the moment.
Ionas: *Realization* Wait a minute...
She made this to get back at me for all the times i blocked her many attempts, and for when i was making fun of her on occasions, like that time with the fan club! She wants to deprave me! Make me seem like the lowest of the low in the eyes of everyone! One of the girls finds the zipper, and proceeds to unzip my pants.
Ionas: *Serious* I will have her head for this. *Eyes Become Bloody Red*
~Meanwhile~Downstairs~
{Momo's POV}
I was running upstairs along with Nana and Rito-San.
Rito: *Sweat Drops* Momo, why are we running?
Momo: *Seemingly Worried* I got a signal there is a malfunction in Ion's training room! We must hurry and see if everything is ok!
Nana: *Sweat Drops* I thought you said the room will have no problems!
Momo:He must have messed with the settings or something! I told him to be careful!
He-he. In actuality, I want them to come at Ion's room, so I can show them the "special" mode I made for him. I put a device to signal me for when he will eventually activate that certain mode. Once we get inside, and see Ion being covered and all playful with the copies, I will pretend to be shocked by how he, supposedly, used the room to fulfill his dirty desires. I will deny that I had anything to do with it, and everyone in the house and school will stop taking him seriously, and start to despise him. It's the perfect plan to make him regret for all the times he messed with me! We reach the hallway, and go close to Ion's Room.
Nana: *Concerned* Hurry, hurry!
I press the button, teleporting all three of us inside his room. I then run fast toward the training room's portal, wanting to see first the scene Ion must be making inside.
Rito: *Sweat Drop* Momo, wait for- WHOA!
That moment Rito stumbles, and falls on top of Nana, bringing them both into one of the famous poses.
Nana: *Blushing And Upset* Even at times like this, you beast!
Nana slaps Rito off her.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Pull yourselfs together, we don't have time for this now!
I'm going in first, not wanting to wait anymore. This time, not even Ion can get out of this mess! When inside, I see the giant bedchamber as it is supposed to be, but no one else around.
Momo: Where-?
That moment I see my OWN copycat, running between the huge bed and the gate.
Momo: *Smile* Oh, there is my-
Suddenly, Ion appears out of nowhere, and stabs the copy with one of his long blades through its head, while lifting the body off the floor by that way at the same time.
Momo: *Shocked* ...
It might be a fake, but seeing my body being impaled and lifted in such a way... Is a truly disturbing sight. Meanwhile, Ion was staring at me intensely, as the fake's body vanishes into nothingness. His eyes bloody red, and filled with hate.
Momo: *Frightened* ...
That moment, Nana and Rito-San finally pass through the portal.
Nana: *Concerned* Ion, are you o- *Notices*
Rito: *Sweat Drop* We came as fast as we cou- *Notices*
They both notice Ion's intense constant gaze and raised blade.
Nana: ... *Concerned* Ion?
Rito: *Worry* Is he...?
That instant, Ion's eyes turn back to normal.
Ionas: *Smile* Oh, good morning, friends. What brings you here?
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Momo told us that there was a sudden malfunction in your training room, so we came running to check if you're alright!
Ionas: *Big Smile* A malfunction you say.
Ion looks at me when he says that, with eyes wide open.
Momo: *Gulp*
Ionas: *Smile* And I was wondering why the room suddenly became a pink bedchamber. Was quite strange.
Rito: *Sweat Drop* Why your eyes were red just a moment ago, Ion?
Ionas: It was my Adrenal Activation. Had to face some... "unique" enemies in the room, that needed my thorough attention. *Lifts Arm-Blade* If you know what i mean.
I can't believe that he just... Killed all the copies.
Rito: *Awkward Smile* Well, at least nothing bad happened.
Without giving up to desire at all!
Ionas: *Retracts The Blade Back Into His Arm* I totally agree.
What kind of man does that?!
Nana: Momo? Momo!
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Eh? Wh-What?
Nana: *Raises An Eyebrow* Are you feeling alright? You were spacing out for too long.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* *Smile* I-I'm fine. I... I just need to go throw some water on my face.
Ionas: *Serious* NOT, so fast, Momo.
Oh.
Ionas: You and I have to talk about this whole "malfunction" experience. *Irritated* Especially considering the fact, that you yourself told me this room was tested, and "totally safe".
Momo: *Sweat Drop* ...
Nana: *Mockingly* Momo is in trouble~.
Trust me Nana. It's way worse than that and not funny at all.
Ionas: *Smile* Nana, Rito, will you please step out of the room, while I talk with Momo in private?
Nana: *Disappointed* Aaw, but I wanna see you scold her.
Ionas: *Stares At Nana Silently* ...
Nana: *Frustrated Sigh* Ok, fine. *To Rito* Come on, you beast, let's go.
Rito: *Sweat Drop* I-Is it a good idea to just-?
Nana: Don't worry about it, he will just give her a good shouting like last time. It's not like he is going to kill her for a small malfunction.
Nana passes through the portal, and as Rito-San was about to pass through too, he turns around and looks at me in worry.
Momo: *Turns Head At Rito* *Scared* Don't leave me Rito-San.
Rito: ... *Concerned* Ion, will you-?
Ionas: Nothing that bad, I can assure you. *Points At The Portal* Now please.
Rito: ...
Rito-San decides to pass through the portal, leaving me and Ion alone.
Momo: *Shocked* ... *Turns Head At Ion*
Ionas: *Intense Staring*
I am all alone with Ion now... And considering what I did... I don't think he will simply just shout at me with his "unique way of talking". I... I don't want to imagine what he-
Ionas: Momo?
Momo: *Startled* AH- Ye-Yes?!
Ionas: ... Why?
Momo: Eh?
Ionas: Why would you try to do something so bad to me? I know that we have our differences, but don't you think you went too far with this?
Momo: ...
Maybe I went a little too overboard with this plan indeed. But, it's just that-
Ionas: This can't just be about the "blocking" and the whole "messing around" thing only. You must have at least one more reason to do all this.
Momo: ...
There is indeed one more reason.
Momo: *Serious* You are right.
Ionas: Care to tell me? So I can understand your reasoning.
Momo: *Serious* The truth is... That I see you as a danger to my plan.
Ionas: ... *Raises An Eyebrow* And what that plan of yours might be? (Better play it dumb.)
Momo: It's for Rito-San. I try to create a harem for him. For when he becomes king of Deviluke.
Ionas: I see... And why am I a danger to that plan of yours?
Momo: You have proven to be quite popular with the girls at school the last days. I see everyday, how some of them act when they see you walking around the school.
Ionas: *Somewhat Surprised* Really now?
Momo: And you might be starting to affect some of the harem's candidates as well. Even N-
I stop just before I say Nana's name.
Ionas: Hm?
I better not say anything about Nana having a possible liking to Ion. He might use that to make a move on her. She is still a possible candidate for Rito-San's harem after all.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* A-Anyway, I'm not quite sure about that yet.* *Serious* Still, I had to find a way to stop this, before there was no chance for the plan to blossom at all.
Ionas: And you thought of making everyone despise me, by using Nana and Rito, along with yourself, to spread the news of what you were expecting to see in here, to the household and even all around our school, so you can ensure that.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Yes.
Ionas: ... *Serious* This is stupid-You are stupid.
Momo: Eh?
Ionas: *Serious* I already said, that I have no interest on being in a relationship yet. And I have already proven that, when i rejected those girls who were stalking me that one time. In case a girl comes to confess, I will simply do the same, and tell them to find someone more suitable.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* But still-
Ionas: After all, when the time comes, where I will decide to choose, I will only choose ONE. I'm sure you will have no problem, if there is one girl less for the harem, in case that one happens to be considered part of it. *Raises An Eyebrow* Right, Momo?
Momo: ... *Rubs Her Head Out Of Embarrassment* Well... I mean, I guess...
Ionas: *Bored* You don't have to worry. I'm not planning to prevent your plan. Be sure about it.
Maybe... Maybe I was worrying for no reason in the end. That he would completely ruin Rito-San's chances. How ridiculous of me.
Ionas: Let's be honest though, your plan will not succeed.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Huh?!
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Do you seriously think this is going to be THAT simple?*You and all the other girls with Rito? Living happily ever after together, like some sort of fairytale? *Shakes Head* Ridiculous.
I felt kinda offended by that.
Momo: And why you think that exactly?
Ionas: Because he will not be able to handle it.
Momo: What?
Ionas: You might think that creating a harem is the best way to keep everyone happy. Satisfied. But have you really thought about Rito? What kind of result might that have on him?
Momo: Well-
Ionas: *Serious* You have no idea, Momo. I know you don't. Because you're not human enough to understand.
Momo: ...
Ionas: Listen well. And listen carefully. The reason behind the inevitable failure of your harem plan, is the fact that a human cannot handle too much lust. And you're pretty much planning to give him an entire ocean of it. It would be like giving him an overdose of a specific medicine. Even if it's good, it can still kill you if you take too much of it. And even if he doesn't die by that, it is most likely that with his sensitive character, he will lose his mind after dealing with that much lust, becoming an entirely different person as a result. And the one you once knew and loved, will cease to exist, just like that. Making this plan of yours in the end, meaningless.
Momo: *Shocked* ...
No. This can't be true. There is no way such thing is true!
Ionas: There were people through history, and even nowadays, that lost themselves, one way or another, because they were just "doing it" too much. That is proof enough, to show you that no ordinary human should-
Momo:But Rito is no ordinary human, Ion.
Ionas: Hm?
Momo: *Smile* Rito is special. He has proven to be more than just a mere human, many times already. He went through worse hardships, than what you depict as "too much". And yet, he stayed the same, kind-hearted, and loved man that he still is today.* He is not going to just die, or lose himself from something like that. *Death Glare* So, don't you dare look down on him.
Ionas: ... *Sigh*
Ion stays silent for a moment, while looking at the ceiling.
Ionas: *Somewhat Melancholic* I don't really look down on him, you know. I just know that no matter how strong or capable is someone... They eventually break.
Momo: ...
Ion looks again straight at me.
Ionas: I gave you a piece of my mind. I will only tell you one last thing, and never speak of this again. *Serious* If in the end you succeed, on fulfilling your harem plan, and Rito is affected in any of the ways I mentioned... I want you to have in mind, that I warned you of those dangers.
Momo: ...
And when I show you at that time, that you were wrong about Rito-San... I will say "I told you so". Now, there is only one question that remains.
Momo: By the way, Ion.
Ionas: Yes?
Momo: *Sweat Drop* How in the world did you manage to resist the urge of making full use of the copies, in the "you know what" way?! I'm pretty sure that I-
Ionas: Because unlike you, Momo, I have principles. *Serious* To do something like that with them, would be like assaulting the actual people. And I would never forgive myself if I ever stoop so low.
Momo: *Offended* Hey, I have principles too-
Ionas: Which reminds me-!
Ion comes closer to me, towering me with his height, while literally looking down at me.
Ionas: After trying to play such a wicked trick on me, you know what I must do now.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Eh? What?
Ionas: *Deep Inhalation*
... Oh no.
Ionas: *Angry* YOU FU-
[The Scene Is Immediately Interrupted Due To Inappropriate Language]
~One Hour Later~
{Ion's POV}
After deeply insulting and disturbing Momo, I made her promise to never try any trick like that on me ever again. I also made sure after she left, to delete that certain mode of hers. She is lucky I did not decide to simply slap the heck out of her, after trying to pull such a scheme against me! Anyway, after getting ready for school, I started walking downstairs to meet up with the others, so we can walk together for school. But then, I meet Rito halfway the stairs, looking at me with a worried expression.
Ionas: Hey, buddy, is everything alright? Why the face?
Rito: *Concerned* Ion... What exactly did you do to Momo while alone? After getting out of your room, she seemed too...
Ionas: Disturbed?
Rito: That.
Ionas: Don't worry, I'm not the type of guy who would do any physical harm to a girl as a punishment just like that, if that's what you're thinking. My mouth on the other hand can say things, that you don't want them aiming at you. You could say I'm quite the... Expert, when it comes to verbal abuse.
Rito: *Sweat Drop* O-Oh, I see...
Ionas: I do that only when it is absolutely necessary. *Serious* And trust me when I say, that she needed that.* Now, is everybody ready to move?
Rito: Yeah, they are waiting for us outside.
Ionas: Better not let them wait more then.
We went outside, and all together, with the exception of Mikan of course, started our walk for the school. While walking, there was a thought that just crossed my mind.
Ionas: Say, how come and the insectbots are not trying to attack our house during the night? Considering how secretive they are nowadays about abducting you, I thought they would eventually try that.
Nana: They actually did a few times.
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* What?
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Wait, you noticed nothing? Not a sound, anything?
Ionas: *Surprised* Nothing at all!
Nana: *Sweat Drop* How is that even...? *Sigh* Nevermind. After the encounter you had outside of our house with that big red robot that one time, Momo and big sis decided to reinforce the house with defensive systems. Like a force field around the house, and multiple turrets to keep them away.
Ionas: *Somewhat Impressed* I'm actually impressed by the idea.* But wait, how your defensive systems can discriminate friend from foe.
Momo: We took some of the broken insectbot parts, and analyzed their codes, so the turrets and the force field can activate only when THEY are close by. Even the road we walk on right now, is equiped with turrets. *Wink* And of course, our school is also protected the same way.
Lala: *Smile* We wouldn't want those mean robots to ruin our days and fun, right?
Ionas: I see. *Big Smile* Great to know!
There are times these two make me happy when they prove to be more knowledgeable than they usually show. With the defensive systems around our house and school, I can at least be a little more calmer than usual, and focus on other things easier. Nothing will worry me for today!
~Later At School~During Class~
Tearju: I hope everybody is ready for today's test.
Ionas: ... *Totally Forgot About It*
FFFFFU-!
~After School~
My god, I was actually able to pass! Lucky it was history, which I'm good at! Was able to get an average grade out of this. Pretty much good enough to have no problems. Anyway, without mentioning the test, everything else during school today was calm and relaxing. I was waiting for everyone else to meet me up in the school gate, so we can go home all together, but then I learn from Momo that Rito and Nana failed to reach the appropriate grade, and that now both of them have to do make-up classes for it. How unlucky. Lala, along with Momo and Celine went back home, while I decided to stay and wait for the failing duo to finish the extra classes. Can't let those two alone considering how hostile Nana can be against Rito and his accidental "tendencies" at times. The guy needs some rest from the troubles around him once in a while. Also need to comfort Nana for having to take the extra classes. What friend would I be if I just leave her like that? Wonder how long it will take for the extra classes to end though.
~Some Time Later~Afternoon~
Ionas: *Frustratingly Bored* Darn it, the sky is already orange colored! If I knew it would take this long, I would have brought a snack or something!
The only thing I was doing all this time while waiting, is sitting on a bench, and playing around with my Skeletal Constructs ability, making different small stuff. But even that starts to get boring!
Ionas: *Frustratingly Bored* Hungry, AND bored. Could use some distraction while I wait.
Haruna: Oh hello, Ion.
I turn my head around, and notice Haruna nearby, carrying her school bag. Must have just finished from her club activities.
[WARNING! NECESSARY MANGA MOMENTS! EXPECT HEAVY SIMILARITIES, WITH SMALL DIFFERENCES!]
Ionas: Hey, Haruna.
Haruna: What are you doing here so late?
Ionas: I was actually waiting for-
Nana: Haruna!
We look up at the second floor of the school's building, and see through an open window Nana.
Nana: Did your club just ended?
Haruna: Nana-Chan! You are still here too?
Nana: Too?
Ionas: *Annoyed* HELLO!
After shouting, I start waving at her with both my hands up in the air, gaining her attention.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* I-Ion, you're here as well?
Seriously, how did she not notice me?! I was only a few feet away from Haruna!
Haruna: Why are you at school so late, Nana?
I notice Nana drinking from a peculiar blue bottle at the moment.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* I flunked, so I have make-up classes...
Haruna: *Sweat Drop* Ah, I-I see.
Nana: I don't really know Earth history well.
Ionas: Pretty much like Rito it seems.
Nana: Wait, is he as well...?
Nana appears to be annoyed by the fact.
Nana: *Irritated* So I'm at the same level as him...
Ionas: Are you done yet?
Nana: Just finished, coming down now!
I get up, and go wait along with Haruna in front of the main door, seeing after a minute Nana walking out of the building.
Nana: *Remembers* Oh, wait a moment, guys.
She takes out her D-Dial phone, and uses it to make two bottles, like the one she was already holding, appear out of the phone with a flash.
Ionas: *Amazed* *To Himself* This technology will always amaze me.
Nana: *Smile* I'll give these to you too, Ion and Haruna.
We take in our hands the two bottles she offers us.
Nana: *Smile* It's a Deviluke sports drink that Zastin delivered yesterday. It's tasty, try it!
We go close to the bench, which I was using some minutes ago, and let Nana and Haruna sit down, while I remain standing next to them. Can't just sit down on a bench with two girls already on it. They might get the wrong idea. Haruna takes a sip from her drink.
Haruna: *Somewhat Amazed* You're right! It's delicious!
Nana: *Smile* Right? It's been my favorite since long ago.
At the moment, I was looking at my own bottle, with hesitation.
Ionas: *Troubled* ...
Nana: Ion, are you not gonna try it?
Ionas: *Troubled* Nana, I can't drink this.
Nana:Huh? Why?
Guess I will say it.
Ionas: There was that one time I drank a devilukean green liquid after asking Lala for permission. The moment I did that, I became crazy, and almost killed people because of it.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Wha- Really?!
Ionas: Thankfully, nothing bad actually happened. You can thank Yami for that. *Annoyed* But still, to think that a drink could do that, just because of the different physiologies...
I hand her over the drink.
Ionas: *Feels Bad* I'm sorry, Nana.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* I-It's ok, it's not your fault it affects you like that. Still surprising, though.
Haruna was not really paying attention, and was enjoying her tasty drink. Wish I could too...
Haruna: *Drinks*
Ionas: *Jealous* ...*Smirk* Say, Haruna, have you tried talking with Rito about your feelings lately?
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Wha-?
Haruna: *Forcefully Spits Her Drink Out* *Cough* *Cough* *Flustered* *To Ion* Wha-What's that all of a sudden?! And how do you-?!
Ionas: *Smirk* I see how you look at him at times. Not really hard to understand.
Also simple "To Love-Ru" knowledge.
Ionas: Trust me when I say that I will say nothing to Rito.
Haruna: About my feelings, huh...
That moment, she lowers her head and seems somewhat depressed.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* H-Haruna!
Ionas: Ah, that bad.
Haruna: It's more like... I don't know what to do anymore...
Nana: *Sweat Drop* *To Ion* Why are you even asking her that, Ion?
Ionas: *Curious* Had my reasons, but now I'm curious as well. Haruna, please continue.
Haruna: I mean, I told about my feelings to Lala-San and said "let's both of us do our best in love", but now that I think about it, even if it goes well, only one person can be with Yuuki-Kun. *Blushing* If we love the same person, then it can only turn into a competition in the end.
Ionas: And you hate the fact that only one can be the winner.
Haruna: Yeah...
Kinda feel bad for her actually.
?: You are a kind person, Haruna-San.
The feminine voice we just heard, was coming from a statue close by that looks like the principal.
Ionas: *Surprised* Oh my God, the statue over there just spoke!
Behind of the statue that moment, Momo comes out, revealing it was actually her.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Ion, relax, it's just me.
Haruna: *Sweat Drop* Momo-Chan?!
I thought she went home.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* I thought you went home!
Great minds think alike it seems.
Momo: *Smile* Oh my, I was waiting for you, Nana.
Bet she is mostly here for Rito, if not entirely.
Momo: I'm sorry, Haruna-San, I was passing by and heard the conversation you three were having.
Hiding behind a statue is not called "passing by", you filthy stalker! Haruna turns away from Momo in embarrassment that moment.
Haruna: *Embarrassed* Even Momo-Chan knows now...
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Ah, don't worry, your secret is safe with me! More importantly-
Then Momo pretty much starts talking about how it's common out there in the universe for one husband to have many wives, and the fact that both Lala and Haruna can marry Rito without any of them being excluded. Momo even added, due to Haruna's doubt for the fact that both she and Rito are earthlings, that he is the strongest candidate to become king of Deviluke, and that Earth's rules wont really apply due to that. And all that without really saying anything about her harem plan. Still too obvious if you ask me. At the moment after listening to all that, Haruna seemed to be blushing like crazy, and for some reason she was dizzy as well. Nana on the other hand, was pretty much against Momo's idea.
Nana: *Blushing And Upset* No, no, NO, you can't do that! That kind of thing is wrong!
Momo: Look here, the world of adults is different from fairy tales.
I'm an official adult, and I say you need to chill, Momo.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* That might be true, but- *To Haruna* Haruna, say something!
Haruna: *Obvious Blushing* Me? True... *Hic*
Did she just-
Haruna: *Obvious Blushing* It's amazing, that universe...
Is she actually drunk?!
Haruna: *Blushing And Drunk* The idea is already... You know. *Hic* Right! OUT!
After that, she was moving and laughing like an actual drunk person.
Ionas: *Somewhat Troubled* Oh my.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Haruna?!
Momo: *Sweat Drop* What's with that weird mood?
Wait, that reminds me of a scene in one of the first episodes from the second season of the series. Good times! Still serious, though.
Rito: Huh? Everyone, you're all still here?
Rito was approaching our group before we even notice him.
Momo: Rito-Sa-
The moment drunk Haruna noticed Rito, she started fangirling like crazy. Rito was surprised by her extremely odd mood. Then is when finally came the explanation from Rito about the drink and its devilukean ingredients not going well with the earthling constitution, and how that affected him in the past. After hearing that, Nana was apologizing like crazy to the drunk Haruna for not knowing. Well, guess there is only one thing to do now.
Ionas: No worries, I'm gonna give her a strong slap and bring her back to reality. *Raises Arm And Prepares Palm*
Rito, Nana, and Momo quickly grab and hold my arm, keeping it still.
All Three: *Alarmed* NO!
Momo: *Sweat Drop* That's not how you treat a drunk person, nor a woman!
They let my arm free after stopping me.
Ionas: *Serious* Well, then what do you suggest? It's not like she can actually walk back to her home by herself in such state, you know!
Rito: *Thinking* That's true.
Momo: *Smile* Then why don't you escort her there, Rito-San?
Rito: *Blush* *Sweat Drop* Wh-?!
That moment, Haruna suddenly clings onto him, holding him tightly with excitement.
Haruna: *Blushing And Drunk* Yuuki-Kun, you'll take me home?! I'm happy~!
Oh boy, that might actually turn into something. Actually, now that I think about it...
Haruna: *Blushing And Drunk* There is no other choice, let's go home together~.
Nana: *Blush* *Sweat Drop* I-If that's the case, I'll also-
Nana was about to make a step forward, but is stopped by Momo who grabbed her by the back of her shirt collar.
Nana: *Turns Around Irritated* What is it?!
Momo: *Gets Close To Whisper* It's finally a chance for Haruna-San to be alone with Rito-San. Read the mood at least a little.
I lean toward them to whisper as well.
Ionas: For once, I agree with Momo here.
Momo and Nana: ... *Surprised* Eh?
Momo: *Sweat Drop* R-Really?
Ionas: I mean, they already like each other, so yeah, why not? It might turn out to be a good experience for them.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* ... *Awkward Smile* E-Exactly what I was thinking about. (It's so strange seeing him approving my plan. I wonder why...)
Nana: ... *Frustrated Groan* Fine! Do whatever you want! I don't even care!
Rito: *Sweat Drop* (What are they talking about so secretly?)
[WARNING! END OF NECESSARY MANGA MOMENTS! DO NOT EXPECT HEAVY SIMILARITIES! YOU ARE SAFE! FOR NOW!]
And like that, it was decided. Rito went along, and alone, with Haruna, so she can help her reach her home safely. Of course Momo was going along, watching them in secret to see how the whole situation will turn out. As for me and Nana, we decided to simply walk on the way for Rito's house. Nana at the moment was looking at me for some minutes now with a frowning look on her face, because I agreed with Momo to let Rito and Haruna on their own.
Ionas:Come on now, Nana, don't be like that.
Nana: *Upset* I can't believe that you just agreed to let them go on their own like that!
Ionas: Well, Momo went with them, so I wouldn't say they are really on their own.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* You know that doesn't really make it any better, do you? Why did you even agree-?
Ionas: *Serious* Because those two must eventually confess to each other, so their relationship can go on the next level, which they both want.
Nana: *Upset* But not like this! With one of them not thinking straight! Those kind of things are supposed to be consensual!
Ionas: I think of it this way. Rito is a nice fellow, no matter how much YOU dislike him, and I know for sure that he will not really try to take advantage of the situation. As for Haruna, considering how drunk she is, she is most likely to end up revealing her true feelings to him, making this easier for both of them. And when Haruna stops being drunk, realizing that she finally confessed her true feelings to him, it is assured he will accept those feelings, and from then on they will become an official loving couple, consensually.
And if things really end up that way, the way I see it, Rito will decide to reject the harem idea for Haruna's sake. And no matter what Momo will do, she will not be able after that to convince him otherwise. Showing her by that way, that Haruna was not the key to her plan, but the destruction of it all along. Technically, putting them together was HER idea, so I'm not really trying to ruin her plan. How ironic.
Nana: ... *Sweat Drop* That was some really detailed thinking.
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Didn't think I will just let them go alone, if I knew it was a bad idea now, do you?* Still, this might end up into just another embarrassing moment, where nothing will actually happen, and with Rito coming back home flustered. Like most of the times pretty much.
Nana: ... *Sweat Drop* Are you absolutely sure we shouldn't worry?
Ionas: Nana... *Bored* We are talking about Rito here.
Nana: ... Maybe you are right. *Annoyed* But I still don't agree with the method!
Ionas: Understandable.
Neither do I actually. Still, I wonder if the whole situation will really turn out to be just the usual fail.
Nana: By the way, Ion.
Ionas: Hm?
Nana: You didn't tell me yet. Why were you at school so late? I thought you passed the test.
Ionas: Well... *Wink* Couldn't just let you walk all the way back home alone now, could I?
Nana: *Blush* ... *Seemingly Upset* I-I can do this by myself, you know! *Looks The Other Way* I don't really need your company.
After walking for a few more feet, I hear her whisper.
Nana: *Blush* But thank you.
Ionas: What was that?
Nana: *Flustered* Nothing!
Ionas: *Smile*
You're welcome, Nana.
~At Rito's House~Night~
After me and Nana returned home, we were pretty much watching along with Lala and Celine TV all this time. We then hear the door unlocking, and notice Rito and Momo walking inside the room.
Ionas: Took you some time. *Smile* So, made any progress with Haruna?
Rito: *Flustered* Wh-What are you talking about?
Ionas: *Sighs And Rolls Eyes* Nevermind.
He lost yet another chance it seems. One day... He will do it! Can't always fail! Right?
~Next Day~At School~
I was walking around the school's courtyard, thinking about how I will spend my free time. I still have a hard time knowing what to do, since I don't need to train myself at the school's rooftop anymore. Maybe I can spend some time with Nana. Or I can go and grab myself a nice refreshment first. There should be some vending machines somewhere around here if I remember correctly. That moment, I notice Lala from afar running toward me, and then past me.
Lala: *Excited And In A Hurry* Hi, Ion! Sorry I'm in a hurry, see you later!
And like that, she leaves. I wonder why she is in such a hurry. Didn't appear to be in distress, so I will not bother myself with whatever she is running for. I keep walking the other way, and I'm about to turn around a corner.
Ionas: The vending machines should be around he-
The moment I turn around the corner, a small object hits me straight to the head, and as I stumble backward from surprise, I grab it immediately in mid-air, before it even starts falling down.
Ionas: *Somewhat In Pain* Ouch! *Annoyed* Hey, who's the smart guy!?
While I was looking around for the culprit, I notice an abandoned school uniform down onto the ground in front of me, and then a mouse, with spiky hair on its head, coming out of them.
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* What the fu-?
The thing I was holding starts to glow suddenly, and then is that I realize it's some kind of device. It kinda looks like a-
Ionas: *Gasps* Grenad-
*The Device Emits a powerful Flash, And After It's Done, It Falls Onto The Floor*
~Some Minutes Later~
{Momo's POV}
After finding the chance to get away from the VMC members, who wanted to sing me a song they made for me, I was walking alone around the courtyard, searching for Rito-San. I wonder where he is.
*Angry Muttering In The Distance*
Momo: Eh, what is that sound?
I think I hear something strange around that corner. I approach, and take a careful look while hiding behind the other side. I notice two school uniforms abandoned onto the ground. The first set was right in front of the two vending machines, and the other only a few feet beside me. Strange.
Momo: Hm?
Then is when I notice close to that uniform a small flower rooted to the ground. The flower itself was quite peculiar. Its four red petals were long and thin, and were placed in such way that they were pretty much making an X symbol, with the tips having smaller X symbols on them. The androecium on the middle of the flower had a yellow color, with white spots. But the most strange about it was a big black colored petal, just below the red X petals, that had a round shape, making it look almost like an inverted umbrella.
Momo: *Amazed* Never seen a flower like that before.
I should go there and speak to it. Learn what it is called, and why it was rooted there in the first place. [Remember, Momo Can Communicate With Plants]
Flower: *Inhales*
Wait, did that flower just made an inhaling sound?
Flower: *Seemingly Furious* THAT F*CKING PIECE OF SH*T!
Momo: *Shocked* ...
Flower: *Seemingly Furious* WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON HIM, I'M GONNA STICK MY F*CKING FOOT SO FAR DOWN HIS SOON TO BE BLOODY AND RUINED THROAT, THAT IT WILL COME OUT OF HIS BROKEN FILTHY A*S LIKE A HUGE PILE OF SH*T! THEN I WILL BREAK HIS TEETH WITH A F*CKING HAMMER, AND USE THE BROKEN PIECES TO NAIL HIS FACE WITH THEM, JUST AS AN EXCUSE TO BASH HIS ROTTEN F*CKING HEAD IN, USING THE HAMMER AGAIN! I'M GONNA THROW HIM INSIDE A SEWER, AND THEN URINATE UPON HIS ALREADY WATERED WITH FILTH BODY!
Momo:...
There is only one person I know that talks in such an aggressive, and shockingly foul manner. I start approaching the flower.
Flower: *Seemingly Furious* AND AFTER I HAVE MADE HIM BELIEVE THAT HE IS NOTHING MORE THAN JUST ANOTHER SH*T IN THE SEWER, I'M GONNA TAKE A BARREL FULL OF ACTUAL SH*T, AND DUMP THEM ALL INSIDE HIS F*CKING-!
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Ion!
Flower: Eh?
I was right in front of the flower, looking at it straight from above.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Is that you?
Ionas (Flower): Momo! *Seemingly Thankful* Thank God you are here!
Thank God no one else can hear you say all that stuff as a flower! I crouch close to it.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* What happened to you?
Ionas (Flower): A grenade-looking device I was holding minutes ago transformed me into this!
Momo: What device?
Ionas (Flower): It is under the uniform close to the vending machines. Careful how you touch it, the thing is way too sensitive!
I go close to that uniform, and search under it carefully, till I find the small device.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* That looks like one of big sister's inventions.
Ionas (Flower): I knew I recognized the design from somewhere!
Momo: Must have fallen from her. She seriously needs to start being more careful with those.
Ionas (Flower): For real! Now use it to help me change back.
I was about to check the device, but then a devious idea came to my mind.
Momo: ... *Mischievous Smile* You know, now that I take a better look at you, I prefer you more that way.
Ionas (Flower): What?
Momo: *Mischievous Smile* Maybe I will leave you as you are, for a few more hours. Unless... I don't know... You say "please, Momo-Sama, help this small minded flower, and I promise to never talk to you in such an awful manner ever again". If you say that, I'll think about it.
Ionas (Flower): ... Momo, Nana may in a regular basis call me an "idiot", but I'm not THAT much of an idiot. If the insectbots, or any other kind of danger happen to attack, I will not be there to help. You shall be held responsible in case anything happens to you, your sisters, or the rest of our friends, and all that just to get back at me. And satisfy your big ego.
Momo: ... *Annoyed* I hate how well prepared you always are.
Ionas (Flower): Now if we are finished joking around, I want to stand on my two legs again... Please.
Well, at least he said "please". I check the device carefully, and then notice a panel appearing on its middle, showing a timer. Four seconds remaining.
Momo: *Realization* Oh.
The timer reaches zero, and the flower starts to glow intensely, before it makes an explosion that creates a pink cloud, which covers the area around it.
Ionas: *Inside The Cloud* Yep, I can definitely feel my limbs again.
The cloud fades fast, revealing a naked Ion.
Ionas: Now I can- *Notices Himself Naked*
Ion looks with surprise at his naked body, and mostly at his enlarged member. [You Know What I Talk About]
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Why is that even erec- *Notices Momo Looking At It*
Momo: *Blushing And Shocked*
He is as big as Rito-San...
Ionas: *Annoyed* Alright, the show is over, turn around you perv.
Momo: *Blush* I-I'm not-!
Ionas: *Angry* Turn I say!
I turn around fast, out of decency, and fear. Then Ion quickly grabs his clothes, and creates three walls around him, using his Skeletal Constructs power, to cover himself as he changes. That's the second time I see him naked, but I considered since I saw nothing the first time, that IT was small. How could he hide THAT after seeing a naked girl like myself inside the bathroom that one time?!
Momo: *Sweat Drop* ... Ion, I know this will sound weird, but ... *Blush* How you were not "big" when you saw me naked that time in the-
Ionas: *Still Changing* Bathroom? And why the question exactly?
Momo: *Blush* *Sweat Drop* W-Well, I don't find it normal! And I just need a better explanation from you than just "because I can"!
Ionas: ...
After he is finished changing, he retreats the walls of bone back into his body, and looks at me with a somewhat annoyed look on his face.
Ionas: *Irritated* Very well then. But only just so I can avoid similar stupid questions from you in the future.
I knew there WAS a reason. I wonder what I'm going to hear...
Ionas: Some years ago, I was like most boys. With a computer in front of me, and a lot of time and desire, to search around the internet for my... "Needs".
Ah, I see.
Ionas: Pretty much like you.
Momo: *Blushing And Surprised* Wh- HOW DO YOU KNOW?!
Ionas: *Serious* Oh come on, like YOU are above that!
Momo: ... *Annoyed* Continue...
I hate his arrogant attitude toward me!
Ionas: As I was saying, I was one of the many. I simply could not get enough of it. Day after day, after day! Eventually, after so many times, I just... Lost interest.
Momo: Lost interest? *Raises An Eyebrow* Just like that?
Ionas: It was like I lost suddenly every reason to keep doing that. And that's when I saw how bad my desires influenced my way of living. I was simply... An idiot. I lost so much time doing that, when I could do so much more with that time. So, I decided that day to stop being like that, be a better person for myself and others, and stop thinking about myself only. Later I even learned how to control myself around others, and keep IT down when it is not really required.
To think that something like that is even possible... If that's true, this guy is really something to be able to achieve that kind of control.
Ionas: Don't get mistaken, though. I can still get aroused beyond my control, if certain conditions are met.
Momo: Really? What conditions?
Ionas: *Cheeky* HA! Like I'm gonna tell to someone who is most likely to use it against me!* *Serious* Forget it, Momo.
Well, it was worth a try.
Ionas: Now I trust you will not say anything about what I told you to the others. *Somewhat Amused* Not saying that because I'm afraid they will believe you.* But if I happen to learn you said anything about it, *Menacing* let's just say the insults you received so far, will be nothing in comparison to what I will say to you next time.*
Momo: *Disturbed* ...
I don't want to go through those foul tirades again...
Ionas: If we made this clear, take those clothes by the vending machines, and return them to Rito.
Momo: *Sweat Drops* Wait, those are his?!
Ionas: Yeah. I didn't see the whole thing, but after the device was thrown straight to my face, I saw a mouse with hair like Rito's, coming out of those clothes. *Annoyed* Seriously, he had to throw it straight at me?
That cute little mouse I saw some minutes ago was actually Rito-San?! No wonder I wanted to pet it!
Momo: So it turns people into animals too- *Realization* Wait a moment, all those awful things you were saying minutes ago, were against Rito-San?!
Ionas: No, no, no. I know Rito is clumsy by nature, so saying all that stuff for him would be a waste of time for me. *Irritated* Still gonna give him a slap behind his head for this, though.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Then... Why were you-?
Ionas: It was about 5 minutes ago, before you find me as a flower.
{Flashback}
After I became a flower, I was just standing there, small and unable to move at all. The mouse that was most likely Rito, hid the device below his clothes, in an attempt to protect others from using it. After that, he started walking away, looking for help. Hope he comes back for me as well soon.
Ionas (Flower): *Sigh* To think such trouble awaited for me around the corner... Should have chosen to go find Nana. Had to take a refreshment NOW of all times! What a pain...
Kremant: *Grin* A funny coincidence indeed!
Kremant was right in front of me, looking at me from above with his characteristic smile.
Ionas (Flower): *Annoyed* Let me guess, you came to make fun of me again?
Kremant: *Cheeky* I was going to offer you my help, but since you are like that, I will just go then.
Kremant turns around and is about to snap his fingers.
Ionas (Flower): *Troubled* NO WAIT!
Kremant remains in that position, and is waiting.
Ionas (Flower): *Frustrated Sigh* Ok yes, I want your help. Don't leave me like this now, man.
Kremant: *Thinking* Hmm...* *Grin* Alright then!
Kremant turns around, and shrinks in size, being now as small as I am.
Kremant: Now let's see...
Kremant proceeds to look around me, with a magnifying glass in hand, moving parts of the flower to see at it better.
Kremant: Ah-ha! I see now.
Kremant's magnifying glass vanishes, and he moves backward a little.
Kremant: I believe I have the solution to your problem. Just stay still for a moment.
Ionas (Flower): *Sarcastic* Very funny.*
Kremant raises both his arms in the air, and then zaps me with a blue thunder that comes out of his hands. A few seconds of constant zapping later, he stops, and a blue sphere surrounds me, before vanishing from sight. I was still a flower.
Kremant: There. This will protect you from infections and infestations, little flower.
Ionas (Flower): ... *Confused* Excuse me?
Kremant: I helped you like you needed. No need to thank me.
Ionas (Flower): *Serious* That's not what I-!
Kremant: *Grin* Then maybe next time be more specific. Later!
Kremant vanishes immediately.
Ionas (Flower): ... *Inhales*
{End Of Flashback}
Ionas: I think you know the rest.
Momo: *Sweat Drop* Yeah...
At least Rito-San is- Wait, Rito-San!
Momo: *Sweat Drop* I need to find him and give him his clothes!
I grab all of his clothes, and start running. I hope I find him soon!
{Ion's POV}
And like that, she finally left.
Ionas: *Somewhat Concerned* Let's hope the poor guy is not naked in the middle of the school, or something like that.
Also is it me or the order of the episodes is messed up? I'm sure the mouse thing happened in the first episodes of this season. [Hasn't Seen The Manga]
Ionas: *Shrugs* Eh, whatever.
Probably messed already the order of things with my appearance anyway.
*Bell Sound*
Ionas: Classroom time already... *Sigh*
I lost too much time with the flower thing. Well, there is always the next free period.
~The Next Free Period~
I was still in the classroom, and was talking with Rito about our little "adventure" during the previous free period. We were standing close to one of the windows.
Ionas: So that's how it went for you, eh?
Rito: *Sweat Drop* Yeah... Still, it's strange how you turned into a flower. Lala said her invention is supposed to turn people into animals only.
Ionas: She was quite surprised by the fact. But to think that even her devices work differently on me... *Relieved* Boy, I'm so glad I avoided being her test subject that time!
Mio: What are you two talking about?
Risa: *Sly Smile* Something perverted?
Risa and Mio approached us, with the usual mischief in their eyes.
Rito: *Blush* *Sweat Drop* W-We were not!
Ionas: *Rolls Eyes* Give it a rest, Rito, you know how they are. They don't even try to be unique with their lines anymore. *Cheeky* Lazy~.*
Risa: *Somewhat Surprised* ...* *Sly Smile* Oh, really?
Ionas: Really.
The two of them start to approach even more.
Risa: *Sly Smile* Well then, what if we-* WHOA!
After one more step, both Risa and Mio stumble forward, losing their balance, and falling in such way in front of me, that with one hand they grab themselves from both my shoulders, and their other hands go straight inside my pants and underwear, grabbing IT.
Ionas: *Epically Surprised*
Rito: *Blush* *Sweat Drop* Aah!
Risa and Mio: *Blushing And Shocked*
That moment the rest of the classroom, or at least those who were still present inside, started to take notice of what is going on, showing surprise as well, and a lot of chattering. This must be one of my most embarrassing moments so far...
Ionas: *Fuming Irritation* *Tremble*
Risa and Mio, still with their hands in there for some reason, take notice of my trembling, and when they see my threatening glare, they stand up and step back almost instantly.
Risa: *Sweat Drop* *Blush* W-W-We didn't mean to come onto you that way!
Mio: *Sweat Drop* *Blush* F-For real!
Ionas: *Visibly Annoyed* Girls?
Risa and Mio: *Sweat Drop* Y-Yes?
Ionas: *Menacing* I give you both, 7. Seconds. Head start.
Risa: *Sweat Drop* Eh? For what?
The moment I take a stance that shows I'm preparing myself for running, and start counting backward, it's when they realize what I meant.
Risa: *Sweat Drop* Mio?
Mio: *Sweat Drop* Yes, Ris-?
Risa: *Panic* RUN!
They both run out of the classroom like there is no tomorrow.
Ionas: ...
After seeing that they completely left, I return back to my original position close to the window, facing Rito.
Ionas: So, where were we?
Rito: *Sweat Drop* Weren't you going to-?
Ionas: Nah, I just wanted to scare them off. Not gonna waste my precious free time running after them.
Rito: *Sweat Drop* A-Ah, I see. *Awkward Laughing*
Pretty much the rest of the free period passed by, with me and Rito chatting about.
~The Next Free Period~
I was outside of my classroom, leaning against a wall, and thinking about the situation that occurred earlier between me and the two girls. That was a... Strange experience. Having girls literally falling over me, and touching me inappropriately is not something that happens every day to me. For a moment I was worried they will make my "friend" down there wake up with that bad touch. No matter how in control someone can be, touching sensitive areas is enough to raise "things" up.
Ionas: *Shrugs* Probably just a bad moment. Not like it will happen again soon.
Still gave a good glaring at Risa and Mio during class, to ensure they will not try anything of the sort again anytime soon.
Run: Io~n!
I turn my head to the side, and notice Run approaching. Wonder what she wants. It's not like we talk that much she and I.
Ionas: Hello there, Run. How is your day going?
Run: *Smile* Great, thanks. By the way, I want to give this to you.
She searches for something inside her pocket, and takes out a golden card, covered in hard plastic.
Run: *Smile* Here, take this.
She hands me the card.
Ionas: What is this?
Run: It's an unlimited free pass. You can use it any time you want to come and watch freely our work, before it even gets released in the television.
Ionas: *Somewhat Surprised* Oh wow, that's actually-
That moment, I feel multiple annoying stares stinging my back. Then I notice there were a lot of guys behind me, watching me from a distance.
?1: *Surprised* An unlimited free pass?!
?2: *Jealous* Why is someone like him getting such a thing from our Run?!
?3: *Jealous* It should have been me!
Oh boy. Here we go again. I turn around my head with a sudden movement, while looking at them with an intense menacing gaze. They reacted for a moment like they were staring at a horror film. At least it was enough to shut them up for now. I turn my head around again, facing Run with my usual face.
Ionas: Anyway, why are you giving me this?
Run: *Awkward* I was actually trying to find a way to thank you properly, after helping me with... You know.
Ionas: *Remembers* Oh, right! The abus-
Run immediately covers my mouth with both her hands.
Run: *Sweat Drop* Shh! Don't talk about it! This must never go in public! If fans learn that their idol was about to get assaulted-!
Ionas: *Pulls Her Hands Off His Face* Ok, ok, I get it! Property damage due to frenzy. No one wants that, not gonna talk about it.
I know how that BS works well. I come from "such" country, after all.
Run: Alright... Now as for the reason about why it took me so long to give you this, well... *Sweat Drop* Had too much work these days, and some of the times I was forgetting about it. *Rubs Her Head Out Of Embarrassment* Sorry for that.
Ionas: I see. Still-
I hand her over the card.
Ionas: I'm sorry, but I don't really have any use for such thing. Don't be mistaken, I like your work, but I just don't have the appropriate time for such visits. The insectbots, the training, the school... *Weary-Like* It is just too time consuming as it is already. You understand.
Run: Oh, I see... Still, I can't just leave you like that without repaying you somehow.
Ionas: You don't really need to... *Thinking* Hmm...
Now that I think about it, I could... I lean forward to whisper to her.
Ionas: Would you consider going in a date with me?
Run: *Blush* Wh-What?! That's...
I remain there silent, waiting for a response.
Run: ... *Apologetic* I'm sorry, Ion.* The thing is, *Blush* there is already someone I like.* If I do that and he happens to see us together, I will lose every chance I have with him. Please, understand.
Ionas: *Thumbs Up* You gave me the answer I wanted to hear.
Run: *Confused* Eh?
Ionas: *Smile* I already knew that. I just wanted to see if you would go too far to reward someone. Showing me that you wouldn't, for a logical reason no less, proves that you are a good person, and a friend I would be happy to help and chat with whenever necessary.
Still feel bad that you don't really have any chances with the guy.
Run: *Sweat Drop* That was a test?!
Ionas: Yep. Needed to make sure you can be trusted, as a friend to me and the others. Can't be open, without knowing the person I'm dealing with. So, I'm officially happy to make you acquaintance, Run.
I offer her my hand for a handshake, and she shakes it in response.
Run: *Sweat Drop* M-Me too, I guess. (What a strange guy he is.)
Ionas: Now as for what I want, I already thought about something. Your business seems to go quite well nowadays, doesn't it?
Run: Oh yes, very much.
Ionas: Well,in that case, what I want is...
I whisper the rest in her ear, to ensure the secrecy of what I ask for.
Run: Oh, that's all? *Smile* Sure, got no problem with that.
Ionas: Excellent. *Grin* Looking forward to surprise everyone in the house later.
Run: It'll be ready by the end of the school.
Ionas: Then I'll be seeing you lat- WHOA!
The moment I was about to walk past her, I slip onto something, and fall down with my back onto the floor.
Run: *Sweat Drop* H-Hey, are you- WHOA!
I notice something small appearing for a split second in front of Run's foot, making her slip, and then disappearing instantly from sight. After slipping, Run falls on top of me, with one of her hands going inside my shirt, touching my chest, and with her other hand touching IT from above my pants.
Ionas: *Epic Confusion*
Run: *Blushing And Shocked*
Everyone around who were seeing the scene, were either filled with jealousy, or confusion. Even some girls. Seriously, seeing girls getting jealous over me is really darn surreal. And of course, the chattering starts once more. Not again!
Ionas: *Annoyed* Off me, OFF ME!
Run: *Blush* *Sweat Drop* I-I'm sorry!
~The Next Free Period~
I was walking through the hallways, thinking about what I saw just before that embarrassing moment occurs. I'm pretty sure there was something on the floor where Run stepped, even if only for a moment. Not really sure though if I've seen well. Could I be imagining things?
Yui: Ion!
I see Yui coming from afar toward me, having a serious expression in her face. I have an idea what is this about.
Ionas: Hey, Yui. What is this about?
She stops right in front of me.
Yui: *Serious* I heard rumors about you doing inappropriate things with girls inside the school grounds! Is it true, Ion?
Knew it!
Ionas: Yui, you know me from the day I came in this world. Do you really think I would do anything to break the school rules just like that.
Yui: Well-
Ionas: *Serious* And before you say anything about my past "misdeeds", with the three girls, and that guy I sent to the infirmary, know that THEY started it. It doesn't count if others force you to break the rules with their actions.
Yui: ... So you had nothing to do with those rumors?
Ionas: Oh no, the rumors are true.
Yui: *Surprised* They are wh-?!
Ionas: *Serious* But THEY forced themselves on me. They literally stumbled in front of me, and put their hands where they were not supposed to, *Annoyed* embarrassing me in front of who knows how many people! Do you have any idea how that feels?
Yui: ... *Sweat Drop* Trust me, I know well.
Ionas: Hm?
Yui: *Blush* Nothing!
She starts to walk away.
Yui: *Sweat Drop* A-Anyway, I won't hold you responsible for anything. I will go find those girls who started it. They have a lot to answ- WHOA!
While walking away, a small object appears for a split second to where she was going to step on, making her slip forcefully backward, and then disappearing instantly like the last time. After slipping, she gets launched straight at me, striking me with her body and forcing me to fall down along with her.
Ionas: *Unbelievably Shocked*
Yui: *Blushing And Shocked*
I was with my back onto the floor, with Yui lying on top of me, her face close to mine, her arms wrapped around my neck and shoulders, and one of her thighs pressing my "friend". And of course the chattering starts once more, the moment everyone around notice the scene. I'm getting real tired of this BS. And I can also feel the tension down there raising at dangerous levels.
Yui: *Flustered* I-I-I-
Ionas: *Calm Tone* Yui, you are a good friend who helped me in the past when I was in need.* *Irritated* But if you don't get off me right now, I will forget my manners, and slap you in the face so hard, that you won't be able to feel your cheek for an entire week, you shameless, clumsy, Rito wannabe!
Yui gets up and moves away immediately. I then get up as well, while dusting and fixing my wrinkled school uniform. Yui was still flustered in front of me, not knowing in what way to react or respond.
Ionas: No hard feelings, but please be more careful next time.
I turn around and walk away, leaving behind me a really flustered and confused Yui. That was a close one. But at least now I'm sure about one thing. There is definitely something going on here.
~The Next Free Period~Again~
I was walking through the hallways in a quick manner, looking around as carefully as possible, while thinking of the situation. First, there is a small fast moving object that seems to appear wherever I go. Second, it is targeting for some reason me and the girls that are close to me, creating by that way embarrassing situations via that slipping. Third, for some reason the girls that slip due to that, have as a result to end up touching me accurately to unwanted locations around my body, making it seem like an inversed Rito situation. As I was thinking about it, on my way I hear Saruyama and some other guys talking about how "lucky" I am, that I ended up in such situations with those girls. Well, maybe if they had more self respect for their image, they would understand me better! Morons.
Ionas: *Irritated* I'll get to the bottom of this!
If this is one more of Lala's crazy devices, I'm gonna have a word with her! She needs to be more careful with those f*cking things of hers!
Nana: Ion~!
Mea: Ion-Senpai~!
I notice from afar Nana and Mea coming my way.
Ionas: *Raises And Waves Hand* Well look who has found m- *Notices*
I notice that instant something small moving on the floor at high speed toward them, going toward Nana's feet.
Ionas: *Adrenal Activation Initiated*
I make a forceful leap forward, targeting the object's movements from above while extending a blade from my forearm, preparing to strike.
Mea: *Curious* Oh~?
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Wh-Wh-What?!
When my chance comes, I extend my blade straight at it, piercing through it just before it reaches Nana, and sticking it to the ground.
Ionas: *Deactivates Adrenal Activation Power* Gotcha!
I land onto the floor close by, and start approaching the object while pulling my extended blade slowly back inside my arm. The pierced to the floor object was vibrating like crazy, while emiting a somewhat muffled sound.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* What is going on?!
Ionas: *Serious* This thing was causing trouble around the school. *Annoyed* And especially to me.* Now let's see what is this about.
I raise the blade along with the impaled object, and bring it a little closer for examination. The small object was rectangle-shaped, had a flat screen, and was producing a distinctive music.
Object: *"Gas Gas Gas" Ringtone*
Ionas: *Raises An Eyebrow* Wait, is this-?
Kremant: Stop right there, criminal scum!
We notice Kremant coming fast through the hallway, seemingly annoyed.
Kremant: *Seemingly Annoyed* What you're holding there is my property!
Kremant snatches the phone from my blade, which then appears to regenerate its damaged part in an instant like it was never impaled before.
Kremant: *Shakes Head* Kids these days...
Kremant places the phone onto his hood, where his ear is supposed to be, while walking past us.
Kremant: *On His Phone* Hello, pal, can you hear me? Yeah, it fell down. Yes, I know how it reacts when it touches the ground, and that I should be more careful with it, but listen-
After walking a little farther, he vanishes into thin air.
Ionas, Nana and Mea: *Confused* ...
So wait, let me get this straight in my mind. You want to tell me, that all this trouble, was caused, BY A F*CKING PHONE?!
Mea: ... *Still A Bit Confused* What was all that about again?
Ionas: *Frustrated* I swear, Kremant keeps finding new ways to get on my nerves... And the fact that he obviously pretended that this one was an "accident", makes this feel even more annoying!
It was not an accidental move, and no one can change my mind about it! That son of a-!
Nana: *Sweat Drop* Seriously, what did we miss?
I explained about all the troubling situations I faced through my day in school so far.
Nana: *Blush* Wh-?!
Mea: *Smile* So, it was like a Rito-Senpai's thing, but in reverse? How wonderful!
Nana: *Sweat Drop* M-Mea!
Typical Mea.
Ionas: *Weary* I just want to sit down *Sits Down With His Back Against A Wall*, and forget about my problems, even for just a minute.
Nana: *Feels Bad* Ion...
Mea: *Seductive* I know what will cheer you up, senpai! *About To Make A Move*
Ionas: *Weary* Dare sit on me, and tease me while I'm like this, and I will skewer you like a lamb with one of my blades.
Mea: *Stops What She Was About To Do And Pouts* Party pooper.
Nana: *Sweat Drop* L-Let's not be like this now! Look, we still have some time before the bell rings, so-
Nana gets in front of me, and offers me her hand.
Nana: *Smile* Wanna go get a refreshment? I know how much you like lemon.
Ionas: ... *Smile* ... I'd love that.
~After School~In Rito's House~
The rest of the day at school passed peacefully. And after we all went together back home, it was finally time to reveal my little surprise. I took out of my pocket a big piece of paper, and told them what it is and who gave it to me.
Almost All: *Surprised* 10600000 Yen?!
Ionas: *Smile* Yep! I asked Run how much is 100000 dollars in Yen, and she gave me this little check. These numbers are a tiny bit more than what I asked her for, *Big Smile* but she had no problem with it.
Mikan: *Sweat Drop* Why she gave you this exactly for, Ion?
Ionas: It was for helping her with a major problem she had one time. She said to keep the details a secret. I refused the gift at the start, but she insisted.
Momo: *Blush* *Sweat Drop* Keep it a secret? *Fantasizes Erotic Situations*
Ionas: *Irritated* Momo, you better not be thinking anything wrong there.
Momo: *Blush* *Sweat Drop* Eh? N-Nothing like that! *Awkward Laughing*
Rito: *Smile* This is great, Ion! What are you gonna do with all this money?
Ionas: *Smile* I'll tell you.
I walk toward Mikan, and hand over the check to her.
Mikan: Eh?
Ionas: *Thankful* I will offer it to the ones that helped me when I was in need. To the ones that fed me, and allowed me to stay by their side.
I then turn my head, and look at Nana.
Ionas: *Smile* And to the ones that helped me when I was at my worst.
Nana: ... *Blushing And Seemingly Annoyed* Wh-Why are you looking at me like that? It's not like I did anything for your sake or anything like that, you Idiot.
Ionas: *Bigger Smile*
I turn my head at Mikan again.
Ionas: I give the money to you to show you my gratitude, and to pay my dept to you after coming to your house.
Mikan: *Sweat Drop* Ion, you don't really have to-
Ionas: Run insisted on giving me something in return for helping her, so I will insist as well for the same reason. *Wink* You can't change my mind, and you know it.
Mikan: Ion... *Smile* Very well then. We will make sure to use them well.
Ionas: *Serious* Don't get the wrong idea, though. I will still be responsible of how they are spent when it comes to anything of big cost. I am not strict, but neither stupid. I get the last say in such business!
Mikan: *Sweat Drop* O-Ok, sure, no problem with that.
Ionas: Now, if you don't mind-
I run fast and lie down onto the floor in front of the TV, with the remote control in hand.
Ionas: I'm gonna watch something on TV before dinner.
I can finally relax for the time being. Now I surely have nothing to worry about. I open the TV, and witness... My current school?
Ionas: Eh?
Then Kremant appears in the scene, holding a microphone.
Kremant (From TV): Hello everyone, and welcome to the show "Ruining Ion's Day At School"! Today we will witness all the hilarious scenes Ion got involved in, and laugh like maniacs with our hearts about it!
I close the TV without a second thought.
Ionas: ... *Angry* F*CK YOU!
Everyone in the room gasps the moment they hear me say that.
Ionas: *Troubled* Oops.
Kremant: I finally did it! I made him swear in front of everyone in the house! *Amused Laugh*
Nemesis: I must say I love the freedom your powers give. Almost makes me jealous.
Kremant: Trust me, that's only the tip of the iceberg. Next Time On To Love-Ru: The Encounter!
Nemesis: What is your end goal exactly?
Kremant: Sorry, that's a secret. But look forward to it. *Evil Chuckling*
{Hope you enjoyed it! Expect more to come in the future! See you soon, folks!}
