1.) Sorry to keep you all waiting! I was debating on whether I should add another chapter to the Flag spin-off chapters, or to just continue the main plot. As you can see, I chose the latter.

2.) Has anyone noticed that I switch the title templates? Y'know, it's a three part title for the BtT universe, while it's a Flagxx - X for Keima's universe.

Disclaimer still in effect

Enjoy!


Chapter Twenty-Five: Me, Miharu, and Yui


"Ugh..." groaned Keima, rubbing his head. "Goddess, what the Hell happened...?" He racked his brain, trying to recall the events. The Akihisa-shaped hole in the wall helped. Slowly, the details came back to him, and they weren't pleasant: Mizuki and Minami tend to him, Miharu appears, and throws Keima into the wall, Minami, wanting to get as far away from Mihari as possible, runs away, dragging the buxom pink-ette with her. Then, out of the blue, a guilty-looking duo consisting of Kanon and Haqua appears, just as Keima faints.

What a wonderful way to end the day.

Grunting, the suffering Keima pulled himself up, using the edge of his/Akihisa's bed to help him get back on his feet. He whipped open the curtains, and looked outside. The moon was at its peak - midnight, to be exact. Keima sighed. He must've been asleep for nine hours, severely cutting his Conquest time, and in turn, his gaming time. Oh, woe is he.

"That Real girl can throw a mean punch," complained Keima, cradling his chin. He shoved the pain away, as he checked for his PFP's safety. Luckily for him, it didn't even have a single nick to its name. He cuddled with the hamdheld, treating it as if it was a long lost son. "At least you're safe, PFP."

"Kami Nii-sama, you're awake!" cheered Elsie, his devilish partner. Then, her eyes turned watery, as her nose was filled with snot. "When you said, 'Farewell, Yokkyun' in your sleep, I-I thought you were.. ~Auah!"

'Did Miharu hit me that hard?' internally asked Keima to no one in particular. "Elsie, snap out of it, and call Shiori into the room, now!" After an overly peppy "Hai, Kami-sama!", the three century old devil ran outside. Keima's eye twitched at her enthusiasm. At the rate she was going, she would've wrangled in Shiori in five...

Four... then an ear-piercing "Shiori, come with me!" could be heard.

Three...

Two...

One...

"We're back, Kami Nii-sama!" exclaimed Elsie, a quiet Shiori in tow. Keima had to resist the urge to face palm. Didn't she know that Haqua and Kanon could've heard her!? The gamer sighed. She really was a bug demon.

"E-Elsie, I don't think you s-should have shouted," stuttered Shiori. "You might alert Kanon and Haqua." Finally, someone with logic!

"Hehe, sorry, Kami-sama," apologized Elsie, rubbing the back of her head awkwardly. Keima sighed for the nth time that night. At least she looked a little cute...

"Alright," said Keima, standing up from his sitting position. He immediately regretted it. Pain coiled around his leg, and strangled it, making Keima wince. In the midst of his Conquest, he had completely forgotten about his injury, which was nothing more than a curse. Before either one of the women could come to his aid, Keima said, "I-I'm fine. Let's just discuss the Conquest."

"I've formulated a plan," said Keima, capturing the girls' attention. "This will be a repeat of Yui Guido's Capture." Keima unknowingly winced. This reality and his reality had yet another similarity to add to the pile. "She won't notice my advances, since she's too fixated on Minami. I'll have to distract her with my own... more feminine charms."

Shiori's face instantly flushed, and looked like she was about to faint. It was understandable, since she was the one who saw the elusive Keiko Katsuragi first (excluding Haqua). She had to admit, though, Keima did look pretty cute...

"What feminine charms, Kami-sama?" asked Elsie, an innocent look on her face. She then recalled an anime where a curse befell a catastrophically unlucky butler, turning him into a girl (Hayate no Gotoku). "Oh, is Kami Nii-sama going to cross-dress?"

'Damn, the one time she isn't abysmally stupid is when we're talking about condescending stuff,' sighed Keima. To avoid embarrassment (though he wouldn't admit to being able to be embarrassed), he delved back into the world of gaming, setting his sights on Tomoyo Sakagami. "...Yes."

"O-Oh my Goddess! Wh-"

"What's wrong, Elsie!?" cried Haqua, rushing into the room. The three of them must've looked pretty weird, all huddled together in the corner of the room. Her eyes quickly darted to Keima. "...Anything wrong... Keima?"

"Why would anything be wrong, Haqua?" retorted Keima, a smirk on his face. "Is anything bad happening right now? Like an Archaic attack, or maybe a Con-"

"Well, Elsie was the one who yelled," countered Haqua, "so you tell me." Keima begrudgingly applauded her wit. Not to many people can say that they out talked the Capturing God, even if it was just one line. In fact, only two people can fit the bill (at least according to Keima): Haqua, and her.

Chihiro Kosaka.

"You are right, Elsie was the one who screamed," said Keima, "so why don't we ask her?" All eyes were on Elsie, and Keima prayed that she would answer right.

Elsie had never felt so small in her life, with an ominous Haqua and an intimidating Keima both hovering over her, like an angel and a devil whispering temptations into her ears. Before Elsie could crack under the pressure, Kanon's soothing voice saved her. "Dinner is ready!"

"..You win this time, Keima," said Haqua, walking out the door. Keima and Elsie sighed out of relief at the same time, making Shiori giggle, which was really out of character. The two pseudo-siblings looked to the bookworm

"S-Sorry. It's just that you two really look l-like siblings. I-Is that wrong?" asked Shiori. For some reason, Elsie's expression noticeably darkened. Keima sighed.

What was wrong with this household!?


4.) Keiko Katsuragi: I just gave a name to Keima's cross-dress character, kinda like how Hayate turned into Hermione

5.) For some reason, this chapter seems totally OOC. If you can, please tell me what's wrong with the chapter!

6.) Review! More reviews = Faster updates, so please do review!

Goodbye!
