Me: I have been working on my other projects mainly, but this one was not neglected. I have been planing this chap, and further for a while.
Itsuki: So your the Anonymous Fanz
me: Possibly. Or I could merely be a decoy. Either way, you must read the sign.
Itsuki: The Anonymous Fanz Doesn't own anything, except for Tomi and Daichi.
me: And another chapter begins!
...
I spent so much time waiting on the plot. I have to wait real time, since this is a universe where the manga is a reality. I could have watched the Endless Eight as many times as it had actually happened in the amount time I spent waiting for Koizumi to transfer. No wonder Haruhi was so happy when she found him.
I was doing homework like every other day, when Haruhi finally found Itsuki. "Hey, your in luck! We've gotten a mysterious transfer student." She shouted as she entered the room. "Go on, introduce yourself."
"My name is Koizumi Itsuki... I'm pleased to be in your acquaintance. I've just entered class 1-9" Itsuki said. "I finally found one!" Haruhi said. "Hey Suzumiya, you didn't—" Kyon said, Cut off by Haruhi. "I've said it so many times. I wanted a mysterious transfer student who transfers in at a strange time. He's perfect, Koizumi." She said excitedly. "This is the SOS Brigade. I'm the president, and those are members 1,2,3, and 4." I didn't pay attention to which number I was.
"Hmm, is that so? What exactly do we do here?" Itsuki asked. "What do we do? That's a good question. An old person once said, wait for good news by sleeping. But it's not that kind of time or age anymore. We must go find them, even if we have to dig up the ground." She said. "Listening to this stuff is getting tedious. Find what?" Kyon asked
"Mysteries of this world! Let's go find aliens, Time travelers and espers! If we go out to town, there's bound to be to one or two mysteries lying around! Next saturday! 9 AM in front of the station! We're looking for Mysteries In Town!" Haruhi announced. "Very well. As expected from you, Suzumiya, I understand. I'll join up." Itsuki said. "That's more like it."
"What's wrong Kyon?" Haruhi asked. "Again, my name is Koizumi. I know I will be troubling you, having only transferred schools, but I am pleased to be in your acquaintance." Koizumi said to Kyon.
...
"We'll be going first. Kyon, clean up after us!" Haruhi said, before leaving. "Jeez, she really puts me through the wringer." Kyon said. "You've read through the Manuel?" Yuki asked. "A distinctively basic networking system. I comprehended it." Yuki explained. " Well, That's just fine. I've wanted something to read tonight Anyway..." Kyon said.
I realized, I hadn't read the book I got either. I probably should have. "H—Hey, you forgot your book." Kyon said. "You may take it."
...
I read from the book that night. It was about someone with a very similar experience to me. Sent into a world he knew about through Anime. He was forced to keep the plot in motion, Survive it, while learning how he got there. I stopped after the first chapter, when I realized who the author was. It was someone I met in another universe. Another Slider.
...
I live a few blocks away from the station. When I got there, and Haruhi was there first, I was a bit surprised. Not much though, since she probably got here hours ago. I read more from the book while I was waiting. I stopped when Haruhi yelled "YOUR LATE! PUNISHMENT FARE!" because that was when Kyon arrived. "So your paying for all our breakfast. Let's go."
...
"Listen up. Each of you draw these slips... We'll split up into three teams. Just look for things that you don't really get or look suspicious." Haruhi instructed. "I see. So we find aliens or their after traces." Koizumi said. When he drew slips, I ended up with Itsuki. "It's not a date you understand? The time limit is 3 hours and if I find you playing around, I'll Kill you." Haruhi warned Kyon. "I knooow." He said, annoyed. "And you too." She said to Mikuru.
...
We didn't find anything of course. I decided to read more of the book, while we were waiting. "You really like that book." Itsuki commented. "Yeah. When I'm done, I'm going to see if I can find the others in the series." I said. It is important I read the other books this author made, to understand some of what I am. "I think I know some people who could find you some of them. Maybe they could help." He said. "Thank you. I hope they can help." I said. I wonder how much he knows my secret. I think Yuki gave me the book as a subtle hint that she knows.
...
That night, I finished the book. I learned one thing, I probably won't be returning to my old life anytime soon. I got mailed some more of the series by Itsuki. Not sure how he got my address, but I am glad to be able to continue. I realized, I got help from both Yuki and Itsuki, members of two of the parties watching suzumiya. Which means, Mikuru might give me something later on. It also means, I have more significance to the plot than I realized.
