Master Pudding: Hey people! Chapter 10 WOOHOO! PARTYY! RAISE THE ROOF! DANCE!
Takashi: What's so exciting about that? Party when you FIND MOMO-CHAN!
Master Pudding: The story would be boring if we found her the second he disappeared! Now say the disclaimer!
Takashi: *Sigh* Master Pudding does not own Vocaloid, UTAU, Pokémon, Gari-Gari-Kun, Lindsey Stirling or anything she mentions. And her leg still looks like a dead snake from the stage dive incident.
Master Pudding: TTATT Enjoy while I lecture Takashi on unecessary comments about my leg.
Takashi: NOOOO! HELP MEEE!
"NINE THOUSAND FORTY TWO BOTTLES OF SAKE ON THE WALL! NINE THOUSAND FORTY TWO BOTTLES OF SAKEE! TAKE ONE DOWWWWN, CHUG IT DOWWWN, NINE THOUSAND FORTY ONE BOTTLES OF SAKE ON THE WWWALL!" Meiko and Kaito sing. I groan. We've been in the car for about an hour now. We're (Me, Haku, Meiko, Kaito, Rin, Len, Papa, Miku, Eriko and Mariena-chan) driving into the city to put up missing posters. I don't like the city that much. It's too loud and busy.
Meiko and Kaito continue singing, and I want to jump out of the car and fall to my death. It's THAT annoying. I'm stuck in between Rin and Miku. "Could you put on the classical music station?" I ask. "Fine…" Meiko says as she changes the station."Song of the caged bird" by Lindsey Stirling comes on. Now THATS better. Usually at school I get teased because I like classical music. Everyone likes pop and rock. If they had a chance to learn a musical instrument, they would probably choose an electric guitar or something loud. I like the violin better. It's soft yet loud when it wants to be.
We finally arrive in Akihabara. We park next to some office building. Next to it was an ice cream vending machine. Kaito sprinted out of the car and came back with an armful of Gari-Gari-Kuns. "Here ya go!" Kaito says as he gives us all of the ice creams but one. He stuffs the ice cream into his mouth like a homeless man. Or like Eriko when she eats Jell-O.
"Okay, Kaito, Miku, Haku, Takashi, and Meiko, take this poster to the print shop and make about one hundred copies. Here's some money. Rin, Len, Eriko, Me, Leon, and Mariena will go ask around, maybe bribe a bit..." Mama says as she hands us a bag of fake mustaches and hats. "Okay, SUPER SENTAI RANGER POWERS ACTIVATE!" Kaito yells as he and Meiko put on fake mustaches and Miku and Haku pull caps over their hair. I don't need to dress up like a weirdo because no one would probably recognize me from the pictures Rin posted in a magazine of me sleeping. I'm gonna be ten years old in three days and still sleep with a stuffed rabbit, GOT A PROBLEM? No? Thats what I thought. "Where's the print shop?" I ask. Kaito-nii should know, since he used to live in an apartment in Akiba. "Um... Wait one sec..." Kaito says as he looks for the directions on his phone. "It's over here!" Kaito yells as he points to a very crowded street. Oh god, please don't make me go through that, there's too much PEOPLE. Shudder. Shudder. And this ice cream is melting.
Our little group goes into the crowd. In a few minutes we end up in the front of a very run-down shop. "I guess this is it." Meiko says. We enter the shop. Inside, there is an old man with white hair petting a yellow cat. The cat mews. "Oh my god! It's so cute! Can I pet it?!" Miku bounces. "Sure." The old man says.
"Miku, we came here to make posters, not to hold cats." Meiko says. "Fine..." Miku pouts. "Anyways, how much would it cost to make one hundred copies of this?" Meiko says as she holds up the poster. It has a picture of Momo-chan and me on easter, and Momo-chan had bunny ears on. It said MISSING on the top in bold letters. On the bottom it had Mama's phone number and some information on Momo-chan. The reward was one hundred thousand yen. It should be more like a gazilion yen. "Pardon, but do you happen to be those singers that keep appearing on the newspapers?" The man asks. "Um. Let's pretend we're not." Meiko says. The man laughs. "If my daughter were here, she'd be begging for a picture!" He chuckles. "Is that her right there?" Haku quietly asks and points at a picture on the wall of a teenage girl with bright orange eyes and straight black hair. "Yup, she's aspiring to be a singer, and I guess she's the most inspired. She's in Great Britain now, in a very expensive music school, so I have no money left to fix this place up." He says. Haku pulls out a large wad of bills and hands it to the man.
He stares at it. "I-I can't accept this." He says. "Please take it and fix this place up." Haku quietly says. "T-thank you..." The man says as he takes the poster and goes up to a printer. "In the meantime, you should go and get yourselves some ice cream or something. They'll be done in fifteen minutes." He says. "C'mon, let's go get some mochi." Meiko says. "Goodbye!" we say to the old man as we leave.
We stop next to a mochi stand. "What do you guys want?" Kaito-nii asks. "Strawberry daifuku!" Me, Miku, and Meiko exclaim. "A hishi mochi for me." Haku says. "Okay, then three strawberry daifuku, one hishi mochi, and one mochi ice cream." Kaito-nii tells the woman. "Sure thing, that'll be 600 yen!" She says. Kaito-nii hands her the money, and the woman hands us our mochi. I bite into mine. It was soft and squishy. "Yum!"
We sit on the curb and eat our yummy mochi. I wonder what the others are doing. After a few minutes, Haku suggests that we go back to the print shop. "Okay!" Meiko says as she stands up. We walk to the little shop.
"Your posters are done." The old man tells us as he hands Haku the posters. "Thanks, and by chance have you seen that girl? Not the cute blonde boy, the purple head." Meiko asks. "No I haven't, in fact I thought he was a girl at first." The old man points at me. "WHAT?!" I yell. GOD, WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK THAT I'M A GIRL, I'M A FRIKIN BOY! My hair just grows too much. A few months ago, Mama shaved my head bald, but two weeks later it grew down to the middle of my back. "OKAY, Takashi-kun-sama, contain your anger!" Miku says as she pulls me away. C'mon, I'm mistaken for the opposite gender almost every day! Maybe I should live a transgender life as a girl and get surgery. Ew... Never mind, girls are icky. Except Momo-chan.
"Bye bye!" Meiko says as we walk out, my face still burning with embarrassed anger. "Okay, where should we hand them out?" I ask. "6%DOKIDOKI usually has a lot of people, so we should start there!" Miku exclaims. "No Miku, We already know your ambitions to go shopping." Kaito says. "Awww..." Miku complains. "How about the Super Potato? There's a lot of people there." Haku suggests.
We've been searching for three HOURS and no one has seen her yet. We're all out of posters too. "We should get going, it's already 7:00." Haku says. Miku slips on a piece of gravel or something and falls on her face. Her cap falls off too, revealing her long teal pigtails. "IT'S MIKU!" Some random person screams. Oh god, this mob is worse than when Kiyoteru-sensei brought ice cream for the exams... "RUN WHILE YOU CAN!" Miku screams as she gets swallowed by the crowd...
Master pudding: I was the one who screamed Miku and started the mob :3
Takashi: You sicken me.
Leon: Now now, let's not try to bite each others heads off today.
Takashi: Let me at her Papa! I'll kick her butt to Russia!
