1.) Sorry to keep you waiting! Anyway, why am I shifted my update time from weekly to every other week? Well for one, I have to carefully guide this story to its end, which is a lot harder than I expected. Another, more interesting reason, is that... I'm planning yet another TWOGK story! Title? The Crossover Only God Knows! Here's the summary:

Instead of sending Keima and Elsie to the past as the Goddesses intended, they open a rift which has summoned new heroines from the multi-verse. Forced to return the heroines back to their world - and save his own world - by Capturing their hearts, Keima Katsuragi, with Devils and Goddesses by his side, is in for a wild ride.

2.) Sorry for another filler chapter. Bare with me, please!

Disclaimer still in effect (duh)

Enjoy!


Chapter Twenty-Six: Flag 02 – Route Switch


"Whoa, this tastes great!" said Akihisa, chewing on his Taiyaki, shoulder to shoulder with Tenri Ayukawa. They were on their second part of their... date, if Tenri could be believed. "You wanna try?"

"B-But...!" stuttered Tenri, her face flushed. She was eyeing the part bitten by Keima, her inner fantasies threatening to take over. She could hear Diana in her head, saying, 'Bite it, bite it!'

"...What's wrong, Tenri?" asked Akihisa, wiggling the treat in front of his... companion. Noticing her blush, Akihisa wondered if she had a fever. "Are you okay?"

'Ugh, Tenri,' sighed Diana internally. 'C'mon, I'm taking over.' Tenri cringed, her eyes turning red, Diana taking over. Then, Diana looked at the fish-shaped cake, and blushed too. '...On second thought, take the controls, Tenri. Be a woman!'

"...Helloooo?" asked Akihisa, waving his hand in front of the girl. "Y'know what, if you really don't want it, I'll just eat it." Once Tenri finished swapping places with Diana, Akihisa had already eaten the whole Taiyaki. Tenri internally sighed out of relief.

"So," said Akihisa, leading Tenri away from the Taiyaki stand in the mall, "Where do you want to go to next?"

"I-I'd be fine with anything," said Tenri, pulling out a fresh sheet of bubble wrap. Just spending time with Keima - or at least his figure - made her feel good.

"...Then let's go to that arcade!" cheered Akihisa. He grabbed onto the shoulders of the Goddess Host, making her blush, and directed her towards the arcade. In the light-and-sound filled room were games of all kinds, and tucked in the dark corners of the arcade was a pink photo booth... which Akihisa tried to avoid like the plague. Sure, he didn't have anything against pink photo booths, but he just had an ominous feeling when he laid his eyes on the booth. Almost as if he knew he'd get killed if he was caught taking pictures with a cute girl in a girly photo booth meant for only one person.

'Gotcha! Tenri, switch!' exclaimed Diana, taking control. Using her godly strength, she shoved Akihisa into the photo booth - which was all the way across the arcade, mind you - and dashed into the booth herself. Once inside the purikura (print club booth), Diana sat herself on Akihisa's lap, slipped a fifty yen coin into the slot, and swapped places with Tenri. Once she noticed what she was sitting on, she jumped up a little, blushing.

"...What just happened?" asked Akihisa, a giant drop of sweat on his face. Once he thought about avoiding the purikura with all his might, life forced him into the booth. It was like Reality hated him or something. Little did the Ultimate Idiot know that he was somewhat right: Reality seemed to hate Keima, and Akihisa was residing in the Otamegane's body. "Never mind. Now that we're here, we might as well take a picture."

Tenri nodded, putting away her sheet of bubble wrap. Pressing a few buttons, Tenri and Akihisa got ready for the picture, which was sure to be cramped, since the purikura they were occupying was a one-seater.

Snap!

Akihisa ushered the shy girl out of the booth to collect the photo. The picture looked a little weird. There was a ring of light hovering above Tenri's head, while Akihisa's hair was a lighter shade of brown, and the glasses were gone. It confused Akihisa. 'Tenri didn't change a filter while I wasn't looking, right?'

"K-Keima, can I have a copy?" asked Tenri, motioning towards the perforated sheet of photos. Akihisa smiled, and tore off a copy of the weird photo, handing it to Tenri. Looking at it, she smiled shyly. "...This looks... nice."

"Yeah!" replied Akihisa, looking at the other attractions the arcade offered. His gaze fell on an air hockey table, and the happy-go-lucky young man grabbed Tenri's shoulders and led her to one side of the table, while he went to the other. "Let's play this!"

Akihisa put in a coin, the air hockey set coming to life. Grabbing the puck and mallet, Akihisa tossed the former over to his shy companion, saying, "Here, you serve. Don't worry, I'll hold back for you-"

Slam! The puck shot past Akihisa's idle mallet and into his goal, scoring a point for Tenri. Akihisa comically fell to the floor out of shock. He slowly yet surely helped himself up, a grimace on his face. Tenri just looked at him, her expression all worried. "A-Are you okay, K-Keima!?"

"I-I'm fine, Tenri, but it's time for me to get serious!" said Akihisa. He grabbed the puck in his hands, launched it up like a tennis serve, and smacked it towards Tenri. "Faia toruneedo!"

'Watch out, Tenri!' cried Diana, switching places with Tenri. The puck that was veering from the goal towards Tenri's face was sent flying back towards Akihisa, courtesy of Diana's lightning-fast punch. The last thing Akihisa saw before he blacked out was a neon green puck sailing towards him.


"Ugh, what hit me?" muttered Akihisa, slowly regaining his consciousness. He looked up to see Tenri's heavenly face hovering above his. Looking forward, he could see that they were on a bench, though he couldn't see what his head was lying on, though he could tell that it was very, very soft. He felt like he was lying on a cloud. "Man... Oh yeah! Tenri, are you okay!?"

"Y-Yes, I'm fine, though I-I should be the one asking you that, K-Keima," replied Tenri, the ever-present bubble wrap popping under her touch. Akihisa took a deep breath, a fruity scent invading his senses. 'Whoa, this pillow smells just as good as it feels!'

"Tenri, what brand is this pillow?" asked Akihisa, oblivious to the "pillow's" true nature. Tenri gasped, a blush appearing on her face. "It smells great, and feels even better!"

"...Y-You're lying on my lap."

Cue nosebleed. The red liquid summoned by Akihisa's perverse thoughts flew out of his nostrils, and onto the shy girl's luckily red blouse. Blood dribbling out of his nose, Akihisa quickly got up. "S-Sorry, Tenri."

"I-It's fine, Keima," said Tenri, reaching into her little purse. She pulled out a girly looking handkerchief, and tried to wipe the wet blood off of her shirt. Akihisa felt a little guilty, and would've apologized some more, had it not been for a Goddess Host's surprise arrival.

"Hey, Darling!" said Yui Guido, greeting Akihisa. "Sorry, Tenri, but it's my shift now." Tenri stayed silent, nodding slowly. Without waiting for a verbal response, Yui picked Akihisa up, and dragged him away. Here's Akihisa's thought process: Why did a guy just call me darling? What does he mean by "my shift"? Why is Tenri not saving me? And most importantly, Why is a guy carrying me off bridal-style!?
