"Well that was one action packed day wasn't it?" Neptune asked everyone in the small living room, mostly directed towards Blanc though, as she went home with them.

It wasn't without a few bumpy roads however as Neptune constantly tried her best to tease both him, and MAGES. It didn't work as neither of them overreacted. MAGES. Shin staying silent and MAGES. Calmness towards the awkward situation really did help.

"Glad it's all over. Right Blanc?"

"Yes." Blanc smiled shyly, "Thank you all for your help, everyone." She glanced around the room showing gratitude to everyone, "Lowee is back under order again."

Vert smiled as well, "Speaking of, isn't the work at Lowee requiring you to be there?"

"The fake was ousted, so with Financier at lead there, everything's find. And it is Financier who asked me to be you folks, too"

"She's such a great chamberlain." Compa spoke her mind.

"Yes. She's my pride chamberlain who supported me all the way through."

"What about the brothers? Do you still hold a grudge against them?" Neptune asked.

"Grudge?" Blanc held on for a few seconds pondering, "No. It looked like it was their way of buying us time."

"Alright, but I'm pretty sure they're are serious about the whole breast thingy."

"Did you say something?" Blanc pretended not to hear correctly, giving a slight venomous voice towards Neptune.

Neptune reeled back, "Oh, nothing at all ma'am!"

IF sighed, "You're purposefully trying to push buttons here aren't you?"

"They moved to Leanbox mind you." Vert informed.

"Wait? What!? Does that mean they changed their beliefs to Vert?!"

Blanc angrily closed her eyes, "They said that with Vert around, they can't serve me, even if they wanted to."

"Steady there Blanc. This is Compa and Shin's home after all, so settle down there."

Blanc raised a brow, but before she could question it.

"Personality issues aside, they are capable, so they should be of use to me." Vert informed.

"Use, eh? But, are you sure about that?"

"Yvoire and Ran-Ran are in Leanbox, so I'm sure they will get used to-"

"Wait! That's not what I meant."

Vert's phone began to ring, "This tone, it must be from Ran-Ran." She answered, "Hello. Vert speaking."

Silence filled the air for a few seconds, as Vert was on the phone, "My is there something going on."

"My room?"

Vert let out an ear piercing shriek, "What are you doing letting them in?! Do something or I will kick you out!"

Vert let out another shriek as no one knows what is going on, "Bed? Ran-Ran stop them at once!"

"No. Stop"

Vert let out another shriek, but this time it was too high for the normal ear. Shin could hear the sound of glass being broken.

"Wow! I bet Lady Vert could out scream a Banshee right now." Neptune makes light of the situation.

Another few seconds of silence proceeds as Vert transforms, seemingly at her breaking point, "I must go to Leanbox and destroy some unwanted intruders!"

Opening the door to the balcony she flies off in a hurried fashion.

"Vert is super mad."

"I guess that's how Lady Vert looks when she's mad." IF slowly commented.

"Later. We heard screams of agony from the cell that Vert left behind."

"What's with the narration?"

"Well, we all know where this is heading, so I figured, why not." Neptune diverted her attention towards Blanc, "But anyways, Blanc? You're going to be with us in our party, right?"

"I may have to go back to Lowee sometimes to take care of business, but if you allow me, I'd like to help you out."

"Welcome to the team, Blanc!"

"Yes. I'm looking forward to it Neptune." Blanc suddenly remembered something, "Oh, yes."

Blanc pulled out a familiar looking crystal, "Financier asked me to give this to you. Isn't this what you are looking for?"

"A key fragment!" Compa exclaimed.

"She found it in Arfoire's room."

"I can't believe she had the one for Lowee with her, too"

"Thanks, Blanc! Now we have three, all thanks to you!" Neptune cheered.

"No. It was Financier who found it."

"Oh, skip the details! I just wanted to say thanks to you, Blanc!"

"Neptune..." Blanc slightly blushed.

"Now that we have the key here, maybe we'll get another chat again?" IF suggested.

"Oh, right! The usual, Histy Hour Show, right."

"Histy... Hour... Show?" Blanc questioned.

"I think it's faster to hear what happens, Lady Blanc." Compa suggested.

"Here we go! I summon you Histy! Alakazam!" Neptune posed hand raised towards the sky, as the Fragment slightly glowed.

"It's been quite a while, everyone. And a first time for you, Lady Blanc." The familiar sound of Histoire echoed throughout the room."

"This voice is... Histy?"

"My actual name is Histoire. I am a tome. I've been sealed, so I asked Neptune to search for the Key Fragments."

"Okay..."

"I am sorry for the lack of details here. Plot reasons and all that. IF, Compa? Can you please provide more details to Lady Blanc later?"

"Yessy!"

"Hey! Histy? Aren't you forgetting someone else to give the details to Blanc?"

"What? Oh, yes. Shin please fill in for Compa and IF if they miss anything."

Neptune's voice turned into one of annoyance, "I was talking about someone else..." She waved her hands towards herself.

"No. You're fine Neptune. I can't expect you to give details well, so-"

"Way to be subtle to me! But, It's kind of true. I'm not sure how to explain."

"I figured much. Before I go, well done defeating Arfoire and getting Lowee back."

"You knew about that?" Blanc questioned.

"I am the tome, Histoire. I record all that occurs in this world."

"Wait so you know about me snitching pudding last night?" Neptune asked.

"Of course. At zero fifteen, you ate IF's milk pudding"

Neptune began to make incoherent noises, "Histy, stop right there!"

"Ah... I see why my pudding was gone when I woke up." IF sighed with a passive aggressive tone, "Anything to say, Nep?"

"You-You're not mad, are you, Iffy?!" Neptune backed away from IF.

Blanc diverted the attention to her, "I think I have a good idea already. So what is it that you want to relay?"

"Arfoire's objective. She is trying to obtain all four Goddesses' powers. Despite being copies, she obtained Blanc and Vert's powers. As such, her next target will either be Neptune or Noire."

"It wouldn't be nice to see her any stronger." IF grunted.

"With Arfoire hurt, I doubt she will act right away, but please be careful."

"Okey-dokey, We'll guard and protect Nep-Nep!"

"It looks like my time is up... Please I'm counting on you. All of you." Histoire's voice faded away.

"No problem! Leave it to us!" Neptune exclaimed.

"If we're guarding Nep, that leaves Noire wide open." IF pointed out.

"We can go back to Lastation any time you know. I'm sure we can see Noire if we hang around long enough."

"Let's do this. We'll depart as soon as Lady Vert returns."

Neptune whined.

"What now?"

"Can we wait about a day or two. That was one heck of a day."

"Nep we don't have time fo-"

"Please, Iffy? It'll just be a day or two."

"Fine." IF gave up knowing she can't win, "But only two, nothing more!"

"You're the best, Iffy!" Neptune hugged the wind walker.

IF sighed.

"I have a question." Blanc stated.

Neptune stopped hugging IF as she diverted her attention to Blanc, "Okay, Shoot!"

"Earlier you mentioned this being Compa and Shin's home. Can you please clarify this?"

Neptune smiled at the easy question, "Oh, that's simple. Shin and Compa are cousins!"

"Cousins?" Blanc looked between Compa and Shin, trying to find a small bit of resemblance.

"Interesting." MAGES. Stated doing the same.

"Whoops, forgot you were here MAGES. The actual game didn't clarify if you were here or not. Also how did you not know? There was an attack last chapter called Cousin Bond, or something like that."

Shin decided now was a good time to take a nap as he quietly exited the room.

…...

Shin awoke about three hours later, with a sleeping Neptune on top of him. Carefully he maneuvered around the bed, so he wouldn't wake Neptune up. Luckily he did just that as he quietly opened the door.

"I-I'll take five pudding cu-" Neptune yawned in her sleep as she rolled over.

He entered the living room to see both Blanc and IF reading the same book. Blanc was leaning over IF's shoulder as they both read it.

"Is this really how it works?"

"A possibility."

"I don't know. Though...this book seems to know what it's talking about."

They silently continued to read for a bit.

"Milk, huh?"

"Can Milk really work?"

"What's the harm in trying."

Of course they would be reading the book about, 'How to make your breasts grow.'

Shin continued on into the kitchen area, hearing rapid shuffling when he passed the two, possibly trying to act like they were doing something else.

He checked the cabinets for anything of interest, as he was in the mood to cook something. Probably for himself, he could make food for everyone if they wanted him to, but no one asked. Oh well, he'll be nice and cook something for everyone.

Shin checked the cabinets over once again. He could make something out of dough, that's for sure. He didn't want to make bread, as that wouldn't count as a meal. What else uses dough and could be made into a meal, if you add sauces to it and a right sized pan.

Shin slightly smacked himself in the forehead as he remembered a certain delectable, favored by a certain red clad hunter.

"A pizza." Shin quietly said to himself as he gathered the ingredients, he thought would be needed.

As worked on the pizza, well making from scratch, he realized something. He didn't see one pizza place or a mention of pizza from commercials at all.

Out of all the things they had, burgers, steak, ramen, even fish food. He never saw any mention of pizza or anything similar to it. He honestly couldn't believe no one created it here.

Well it was time to get to work on creating it.

…...

After about an hour and a half of preparation. He finally set the sauce and anything extra on the circular dough. Just a simple twelve inch circular cheese pizza.

He waited for the oven to preheat as he set it to four fifty.

Setting the pizza in the oven, he set the timer to about twenty five minutes.

He cleaned whatever mess he made, which was just flour, which turned into the dough for the basis of the pizza.

He had about twenty more minutes to kill, so he wandered back into the living room.

Unsurprisingly Neptune and Compa were playing some sort of game, with Blanc and IF boredly watching.

His next move was just to plop down on the couch and watch as well.

A good few minutes in and another presence makes itself known. She opened and closed the door to the home and walked into the living room.

"Still no luck in the quest for Doc. P." MAGES. who else?

So a couple of more minutes of just lazing around, Neptune suddenly perks up.

"What is that delicious smell?" She paused her and Compa's game.

A small ding could be heard from the kitchen. Shin gets up and walks back into the kitchen. The others followed him and took seats near the table.

He proceeded to pull the pizza out of the oven, cut it into even pieces with a knife, since they obviously didn't have pizza cutters, and placed it on to the table.

"Oooh. What's this?." Neptune grabbed a piece and took a bite into it. Everyone else did the same.

The reactions were varied and mixed.

Neptune's eyes began to shine tasting the gooey cheese.

Compa smiled wider than usual, if that was possible.

MAGES. adopted an analytical face, while enjoying it.

Blanc offered a small smile, the food was honestly delicious.

IF had her eyes closed, obviously taking in the flavor of the unknown delectable.

"This is the most delicious thing I've ever tasted!" Neptune stated.

"Yessy. The very delicious!"

"Interesting. The cheese. The crust. The amazing balance of flavors..." MAGES. rambled

"Delicious." Blanc bluntly stated.

"Hey, Shin, What is this called? I've never eaten it before." IF asked.

It would appear that it would be a lively night as the pizza somehow got everyone's energy up and running.

Shin chewed on his pizza and swallowed before answering.

"Pizza." A five letter word, simple, and oddly fitting.

…...

Well here is a small filler chapter for ya. Started this chapter about a month ago, but finished now. You could kind of tell I'm out of practice for this story, due to the latter half.

Anyway a bit late to say it now, but "I do not own Shin Megami Tensei, or Hyperdimension Neptunia" just this story even though there is no need for a disclaimer. Seriously I believe you can only get in trouble if you are profiting off a story.

Game recommendations, because why not? Project X Zone, because I just love crossover games.

Super Robot Wars OG: The Moon Dwellers, I know it's not out yet, but get those imports for the PS4 cause it's in English, for the southern Asian countries and such, but hey region free.

And Fallout New Vegas, I know everyone and their mother has played it, but I realized that Fallout 4's main character was just... flat. Somehow they had less reactions than the silent protagonists of the previous, and it feels like you somehow have less freedom than the others, because of the Karma system being taken out. If you have a P.C able to play and mod New Vegas, do it. There are a ton of great mods out there.
