Chapter Five: Kouta, Aiko, and Identities
The two beauties were desperate. Their love interest was being taken away right before their eyes at the hands of that pink haired girl and the new idiot. Akihisa Yoshii. That was the name of the boy the girls Mizuki Himeji and Minami Shimada wanted to get their hand on so badly. He was so close, yet was so far.
"Uh- Ohayou gozaimasu*," greeted Voyeur, adjusting the aperture of his camera. Then a wild Aiko Kudou appeared.
"Hey, Kouta!" said the mischievous lady, her own camera in hand. Then, she leaned forward, making sure that her cleavage was visible. "You fixing your camera?"
"I'm sorry, Kudou," said Mizuki, blocking Kouta's view of the feminine crevice. "But we need Kouta alive and anemia-less."
"Yeah," continued Minami, "because we have something we need to ask Kouta for!"
The only thing Aiko did was show off her camera. "Well, I could help out too!"
The two other girls sighed. They wouldn't get to the objective if they didn't get past the roadblock known as Aiko Kudou. The two went straight to the point, "Fine. We want you two to spy on Akihisa Yoshii."
"Kami-sama, I feel a disturbance in the Force," said Elsie, trying to fing the thing that's been bugging her.
"Elsie-chan, you shouldn't break the fourth wall," said Kanon, like how an older sister chastises a younger sibling. "You might mess up FanFiction!"
Keima sighed. Kanon unknowingly played the fourth wall herself. Then, he saw what was probably throwing off Elsie's inner peace. There was someone watching the trio from above! Before Keima could get Kanon to electrocute the mysterious figure, a fellow second-year student greeted them.
"Good morning Akihisa!" said Aiko Kudou. "Or should I say... Keima Katsuragi?"
"Whah!" exclaimed Keima, who was caught off guard. He didn't expect that someone would figure out his identity within the first week. He glared at the woman- no, adversary in front of him. He would have to count on his wit to get him and his companions out of this mess. He whispered into Kanon's ear, "There's a stalker up in the tree, so just leave him to me. Play dumb, and keep Elsie safe."
Kanon nodded and said, "Okay Akihisa! I'll bring Elsie while you talk to your lady-friend!" It hurt her when she said those words, since she felt like she was betraying herself. Still, Keima was the one who asked. She could never refuse. Shoving those thoughts aside, she went towards the school.
"Well, hello there, Kudou Aiko," said Keima, walking up to her. He tried to analyse the amount of Love Points Aiko had for him. If they were enough, then he could tease her, then walk away. On the other hand, if the points weren't enough, he would have to dispose of her some other way. Luckily, he had done his homework too, so if he played his cards correctly, he could escape scot-free. "Nice seeing you here. Still, isn't your house on a different street?"
"Oh yeah," said Aiko, smirking. She had him right where she wanted him. After this, she could finally gift a deluxe camera for her beloved with the money she would be receiving from Minami and Mizuki. "I just needed to give Kouta-"
"But he doesn't live on this street either," deadpanned Keima. Things just heated up. "So, answer me this. Why are you here?!" Aiko's smirk turned into an angry frown. She, a Class A student, wasn't going to lose an argument to a Class F student if she could help it! She decided to be more... risque for her approaches.
"Fine, I just wanted to see... Yuuji. I-I kind of like him!" said Aiko, making sure the person she used lived on the same street. For some reason, the lie made Voyeur's blood boil a little.
Still, Keima wasn't buying it. "Even though Shouko, your closest friend, practically owns him? Don't make me laugh. Now, since we've eliminated Sakamoto from the variables, let's talk about Muttsulini for a moment." The tables have turned, as Aiko is now on the defensive as Keima delivers God's Judgment. "You like him, don't you?"
"N-no!" Keima had found a chink in Aiko's armor, but the girl wouldn't give up. "H-How about you and that Mizuki girl?"
"I don't have feelings for any of them," said Keima, his voice the bare definition of cold. "Now, if you're done interrogating me, tell Tsuchiya to get down from his tree. I'm going ahead."
"I'm sorry Mizuki, but he outsmarted us," sighed Aiko, her pride shattered a little. "All we could find out was that Shouko's perkiness was thanks to him. Also, the girls living in his home call him 'Keima Katsuragi'."
Kouta was down too. He had never been found before, and even if it was his best friend who found him, he would still be mopey. Then someone burst through the doors.
"What's wrong with Shouko? She hasn't been trying to kill me at all for the whole week! Not like it's a bad thing..."
CRASH! A flying Keima crashed onto the table that the group of five were talking at. He got up, checked his PFP, hugged it, then bolted, a girl with a scythe on his tail. A faint "Haqua, my PFP!" could be heard.
"Stupid Akihisa."
"Ow, Haqua! What was that for?!" exclaimed Keima, trying his best to buff out the scratch on his PFP. She just appeared out of nowhere, swinging her scythe around like a madman.
"Even in this world, you're chasing down women?!" exclaimed Haqua. "How many women do you want till your satisfied?"
"Around sixty thousand," said Keima, too engrossed in his game to care. "I can't stop till this collar's off. Besides, why are you here?"
"Elsie couldn't erase all the memories by herself, so it's up to me as a representative of New Hell to assist her," said Haqua. "Luckily the Goddess's are covering for me. Oh yeah, they're asking about Apollo's whereabouts." Then the door opened, revealing Hideyoshi.
"Akihisa, we need to talk."
