Chapter Nineteen: Me, Gymnastics, and Tea Ceremonies

"Are you sure you erased her memories?" asked Keima. He didn't want a repeat of the Mina/zuki Arc. Haqua nodded.

"Yeah. At least nothing went wrong. Hopefully nothing bad will happen-"

"Kami Nii-sama, there's another Escaped Spirit!" exclaimed the ever energetic Elucia de Lute Ima. Keima sighed. They were back into the rut. At least with the whole Ares fiasco, Keima was able to play his games. He would have to reluctantly put his gaming schedule on a hiatus. Removing her hands from her Sensor, she whipped around, and pointed at the girl who set off the alarm. Tapping her Celestial Robe, she accessed the list of parameters. "Her name is... Aoi Kogure, from... Class 3-A!? A-A sempai!"

"Just wait a second..." muttered Keima, bringing up an internal list:

Shouko = Kanon
Yuuka = Chihiro
Mizuki = Kanon
Minami = Ayumi (and Haqua)
Youko = Nanaka

"...And now Aoi is to Kusonoki. Too many occurrences to be a coincidence. Damn Reality. There's something missing here-"

"It says here that she's a member of both the Tea Ceremony club and the Gymnastics club," interjected Elsie, "and that's all that's recorded."

"I can get her B-W-H later," said Keima without a hint of embarrassment "What I need to do now is to formulate a plan of attack. Maybe a Kusonoki-type route-" Keima stopped himself before he could go further. When has Keima, the God of Conquest, ever relied on Real experience!? Sure, he has referred to them, but it was usually after he examined all the game examples. Retrospecting, Keima noticed that all the changes happened...

...once he stepped foot in this world.

"K-Kami-sama, are you... okay?" said Elsie, waving her hand in front of Keima's face. He was so still, it was like he was lagging, though Elsie knew better. She's seen the look on his face a lot during the Old Conquest arc. She knew that deep inside, he was trying to figure out if his actions were really going to get him to the Ending. "Maybe we should sit down for a while-"

"I'm fine," recovered Keima, patting Elsie's head. "Let's just get this Capture over with!"

"Why do I have to do this again!?" complained Haqua, trying to remove her hand from Keima's, but the latter would not have it.

"I have to get closer to Aoi," said Keima. "The easiest way would be to join a club she herself is in, to increase the encounter rate. Of course, with my build, I can only hope to be able to join the Tea Ceremony club. Since the chaji ceremony is at its most formal with five people, I need to eliminate the unneeded variables AKA strangers. You, Shiori, and Kanon are with me, to eliminate the said variables. Aoi said that if the chaji is a success, then she'll let me and the three of you into the club."

"F-Fine, but it's only because I'm already clear," said Haqua, just as Aoi entered the room. She initiated the ceremony, and just as Keima planned, it went perfectly.

"So you do gymnastics?" asked Keima, feigning surprise. It was the day after the tea ceremony, and Keima had to add some love points.

"Yeah. Helps me keep my figure in shape," replied Aoi, smiling at the boy. "The leotard also look pretty good on me. Brings all the boys to the yard-" She was interrupted by a pair of third years, specifically the Tokonatsu Duo. Aoi grit her teeth.

"Hey Aoi, what are you doing hanging out with the Class F loser!?" questioned Shunpei Natsukawa, the one Aoi hated the most. "He must be blackmailing you! Let's get him!" Yuusaku Tsunemura nodded his head, and cracked his knuckles. Keima sighed. He had more to add to the list:

Parsley People = Tokonatsu Duo

Aoi tried to defend Keima. "No, he's just-"

"Yeah. This is payback for the festival, Akihisa!" cried Yuusaku, baring his teeth. He and his bald companion charged.

"J-Just hold it!" exclaimed Aoi, stopping the two idiotic A-Boys in their tracks. "You two always jump to conclusions. It's all because of you that Hayate-" Letting it all out, she ran past the duo, with Keima running after her.

"Damn Real! This is not the time for a mini-game!" complained Keima, slowly but surely getting left behind by the athletic student. Keima grit his teeth and tried harder, but unless he was motivated by a game, he would never be able to catch up. She pulled a fast corner, causing Keima to fly into the wall. Pulling his head out of the cement, Keima noticed that Aoi was long gone. "And I was so close to finding out her problem! Since I can't progress the Conquest, I have find out about this 'Hayate' person in the meantime..."

"Aoi isn't here!?" exclaimed Keima. The event the day before must have depressed her. Keima could only hope that it wasn't a Poison Flag. "What happened?"

"I'm sorry," said Sumire Niino, the Club Chairman. For some reason, she didn't want to see the sad look on the brunette's face. "Hm... well, it is the duty of the kaichou to check up on her subordinates, so I'll visit her house later. You want to accompany me?"

"I'll take you up on that," said Keima, a plan formulating in his head. "Thank you." All Keima had to do now was to find out Aoi's heroine problem, and solve it. His intuition told him that this Hayate person would be the key factor, and a God's intuition is always right...

...most of the time.

4.) I'm adding a few non-canon stuff about the Baka to Test universe here and there. Hopefully you guys don't mind.

5.) Review! Don't like the Heroines? Review! Think this is a little OOC? Review! Wanna remove my motivation? Don't Review! C'mon, at least drop by to say hi!

6.) To that guy who wants to revive Percy Jackson: Champion of the Love Goddess: You should've just PM'ed me instead of reviewing a completely unrelated fanfic. Anyway, I have plans on remaking the story, so just be patient.

Goodbye!
