Chapter Six: Me, Yuuka, and Disguises
"Akihisa, we need to talk," said Hideyoshi suddenly, interrupting the talk between Keima and Haqua. He walked up to Keima, each step filled with purpose. "Just who are the girls living in this house?!"
Keima, a little perplexed as to how to handle the situation, took a step back. "Um, you mean her?"
"Of course her," said the feminine male, pointing a finger at the devil with the scythe. Hideyoshi then walked up to Haqua and glared daggers at her. That was a big mistake on his part. It wasn't a mistake because Haqua wanted to slice Hideyoshi up (silly human), but it was a mistake because the behavior was out of character. Keima caught on. He then started to notice the little details, like the slightly puffier chest, the rougher skin, the harder fist, and the lighter shaded eyes. If the Capturing God's assumptions were correct...
"Hold it!" exclaimed Keima, mimicking a certain Ace Attorney. After he walked up to "Hideyoshi", Keima rearranged the hair clips, and fixed up "Hideyoshi's" hair. "Hideyoshi, or should I say, Yuuko Kinoshita, why are you here?!" The said twin walked back a little, Keima still advancing on the poor girl. Then, she mustered all her courage and stood her ground, resulting in a stalemate.
"W-I'm here to clear this up!" cried the girl. "You've been tarnishing the reputation of the other classes. I mean, you're cumulative score overall's over seven thousand?! That's rivaling Ms. Takahashi! No way a baka like you-" She was stopped by the finger on her lips. Keima then closed in, using his words as a way to weasel him out of the situation.
"If that were the case, Ms. Kinoshita," said Keima, "then you could have simply confronted me at school. My logic is supported by the fact that when you first entered, you asked about Haqua." Yuuko felt... cornered, as even though she was part of the Top Ten in the batch, she was being outwitted by the idiot.
"F-Fine, I just wanted to... ask you if you wanted to hit the crepe joint for a pastry or two," said Yuuko, who was squirming under Keima's gaze, "and that's when I saw her." Keima sighed. She went through all this, just to ask him out on a date. Category: Yandere. Adding to that, Keima didn't know that Yuuko already had so many love points.
"And you acted like Hideyoshi for what reason?"
"Well, it was a l-little easier to ask you in his little get-up. So, w-will you go with me?"
"Haha!" said Minami, wiping the vanilla creme from Hazuki's nose. She, Hazuki, and Mizuki Himeji were eating crepes at the pastry store they frequented. Hazuki had gotten some of the treat on her nose, to which the other girls just had to giggle at. The fifth grader was just too cute for her own good. Then someone barged in, hastefully bought a kiwi flavored crepe, and sat down at their table. The melancholy she radiated was overwhelming, even making Hazuki's irresistible goof up a sad event. Who exactly was the girl with the negative feelings? Yuuko Kinoshita. With her cheek to the table, she nibbled on her pastry, not really enjoying it. The others were concerned, and with good reason. The bad aura the Class A student was emitting was affecting everything around her, causing flowers to wilt, and smiles to droop. Even though the two high school students were merely acquainted with the said girl, they tried reaching out for her.
"Uh... Yuuko, are you alright?" asked Mizuki. A slight shake of the head was made in response. "Well, what happened?"
Yuuko, even in her depressed state, didn't like the aspect of losing, much less to the Ultimate Idiot. Admitting that she took the news hard would be the final nail in the coffin. She then looked back to what Akihisa said earlier.
"I have no interest in you, so please leave," said the boy she liked, not even looking up from his handheld.
Her face visibly fell even more, if possible. She then decided that to regain her pride, she had to get over her crush.
"I-I got... rejected, rejected by the boy I like," said Yuuko, composed enough to be able to actually take a bite.
Minami was shocked. Even if her beauty didn't compare to her twin's, she was still a knockout. "Who was he?"
"A-Akihisa Yoshii, that baka." This sent the girls into their own spiral of emotions. They were angry at the fact that Akihisa, who wouldn't hurt his friends (excluding Yuuji), would actually break the usually cool and composed Yuuko. They were sad at the fact that Yuuko, an already beautiful girl, was rejected. Lastly, Yuuko could confess her true feelings, while the other girls couldn't, making them a little jealous.
"AKI!" exclaimed Minami, standing up from the table. "Prepare to pay!" She then rushed out the shop, Hazuki and Mizuki hot on her trail. Yuuko sighed. Today just wasn't her day. Sadly, the two heroines wouldn't be able to catch the Capturing God, since Kanon had dragged him out for bikini shopping right after Yuuko left the apartment.
The Next Day
"Kami Nii-sama, there's an Escaped Spirit in that girl!" exclaimed Elsie, pointing at a certain blue haired Representative. Strutting along the hallway, Yuuka Koyama looked a little irked. She looked at the photos in her hand. Keima saw the person in the picture, thanks to the Magic Binoculars Elsie conjured up out of her Robe. The person in the picture was Class B's Rep, Kyouji Nemoto, in a school uniform, bloomers to be exact. Yuuka then proceeded to rip the photo to shreds, saying, "I can't believe I actually dated that pervert!"
"Elsie, details," said Keima. Instantly, the binoculars in his hands escaping his grasp as they morphed into a screen for Elsie.
"Yuuka Koyama, Class C Representative, former partner of Kyouji Nemoto," relayed Elsie. "She doesn't seem that hard of a target, Kami Nee-sama."
"And that's the problem," said Keima, hand covering half of his face. The situation was kind of like Chihiro's. "She's too normal. I can't fit her into any of my normal archetypes!"
"Isn't she a little like Chihiro-san?" asked Kanon, popping up out of nowhere. "That means she's in the 'normal' class."
"And I don't know how to deal with 'Normal'. It's too akin to the Real," said Keima, pulling out a game cartridge out of his pocket. The title was "School Nights*", and to sum it up, it was a horrible experience. The heroines were bland, the writing was pitiful and uninspired, and the drawings were akin to a preschooler's. The only reason why Keima hadn't trashed the abomination of a game was due to the fact that it had proved useful in Chihiro's conquer. Since the girls in the said game were similar to a Real girl, Keima's only use for the game is as a reference, if ever the target is as normal as Chihiro, who's inner brand of spunk was overshadowed by her being normal. Keima shoved the game back into the recesses of his pockets. "I work with Gaming techniques, not the tricks of Reality!"
"We'll deal with this, Keima-kun!" said Kanon, winking. "We'll do it together." Keima rolled his eyes at the Public Display of Yandere-ism.
"So what're you gonna do now, Kami-sama?" said Elsie, morphing her Celestial Robe into the shape of a firetruck, the red engine seeming to never leave her mind.
"Isn't it obvious Elsie? We've done this seventeen times already, for Goddess's sake," sighed Keima, taking his usual godly pose. Kanon frowned at the "seventeen times" part of Keima's dialogue. It seemed that she had a lot of competition, but with the favor of a Goddess, she knew that she would be the one to rise above the rest. "For the sake of my gaming time, I shall start the capture of Yuuka Koyama immediately!"
