1.) Sorry to keep you waiting! I'm a day late, but hopefully fifteen days isn't too long. Luckily, I managed to scrape enough words to reach the length of an average chapter, even though I had no idea where Akihisa's Side was going.

2.) Because someone asked for it, I've decided to rename the followers of TWOSK from Berries to Myrmidons. Why? It was the first thing on my mind.

Disclaimer still in effect, people!

Enjoy!


Chapter Thirty-Two: Flag 05 – Ayumi + Tsukiyo Route


"Uh..." said Akihisa, slowly backing away as the two Goddesses walked/floated towards him, "what do you mean by 'share'?" He kept on back tracking till his calf hit the bench where a vegetative Tsukiyo sat. He tripped, falling next to the kneeling girl, his arm accidentally circling her shoulder. In response, the floating doll vibrated violently till she calmed herself down, and the ever unemotional Mercury merely widened her almost closed eyes a little. The Goddesses approached Akihisa, as he shrunk down out of fear. He could barely defend himself against one of those beings – he wouldn't be able to last long against two! Mercury slid her frame in between Akihisa's and Tsukiyo's, as Vulcan floated on Akihisa's other side.

"Take care of Ayumi for me, 'kay?" said Mercury, her slits closing shut, as a glimmer of light shone off of her. After the blinding light died down, a Reverted Ayumi, eyes closed, was in Mercury's place. She slowly opened her eyes, and jumped back at the sight of Keima face-to-face with her. In the process, she accidentally knocked Tsukiyo down, Reverting her. With the thud of Luna on the cold concrete, the blonde moon-lover got up. Both of the Hosts pulled out a reflective surface – Ayumi brought out a cellphone, its dark light reflecting the runner's delicate features, and Tsukiyo unsheathed a pocket mirror – as the Goddesses both said: "Go get your man!"

That was Akihisa's cue to run, as he dashed towards the staircase to the world below. Ayumi blushed, pocketed her phone, and rocketed towards the poor boy, a little desperate for attention. Tsukiyo, looking at their antics, sighed and pulled an umbrella from her bag of telescope equipment. Packing her things in a flash, she opened the umbrella, the winds lifting her towards the night sky. Meanwhile, Akihisa was being quickly approached by the human missile, as he darted in and out of classrooms. He didn't do that just for the sake of trying to throw her off: he needed to have something to fight her off with. In the classrooms, he found weapons he was sure to have wielded in his past life.

"Why are you chasing me!?" cried Akihisa, throwing pencil after pencil at the short-haired girl. Once thrown, they flew threw the air like a speeding bullet, but always stopped short of Ayumi's head. Instead, they dropped to the floor like lead, in an attempt to trip up the track-and-field member. Of course, Ayumi was skilled in that area, and leaped over the pencils like hurdles.

"To make you follow-up on that marriage proposal that you promised me!" replied Ayumi, her raging emotions making her go even faster than before. Luckily for Akihisa, the corridor that they had reached was lined with tatami mats – perfect for Akihisa's signature defense move. Tatami flip after tatami flip kept on smashing into the blazing Ayumi, slowing down her velocity bit by bit, and a final flip sent Akihisa flying away from Ayumi... and out a window. "Are you insane!?"

"Gwah!" cried Akihisa. Chalk that up on the unending list of Akihisa's idiotic ideas. As he prayed to whatever deity he believed in (a bespectacled brunette always appeared in his head, for some reason), his flailing hand was caught by none other than Tsukiyo Kujyou, pulling off a pretty good Mary Poppins impression. If she were to just smile (maybe wear a wig), Akihisa would've been able to picture her feeding kids sugar to counter the bitterness of medicine and feeling Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. "Thanks a lot, Tsukiyo!"

"You are welcome, Keima," said Tsukiyo, just as their feet touched the ground outside of school. Blushing a little, she then latched her arm around Akihisa's, steering him away from the gate, just as Ayumi busted them open, the yellow tape flying from all directions. She swiftly latched onto his vacant arm, effectively sandwiching Akihisa between two beauties. Instantly, his blood started pumping faster and faster, making it take all of Akihisa's courage just to keep his nose from projectiling the red fluid.

"Wait, if we were just going to do this, then why did we have to do all the chasing!?" cried Akihisa, some of Keima's logic seeping into him. As the girls shrugged, the bespectacled boy's cynicism seeped in too. "Well, that's just great."


"The moon is beautiful here." After walking for a few miles, with glares directed at Akihisa every now and then ("Heh, that two-timer must've been caught by both girlfriends"), they reached the harbor. Luckily for them, it seemed that no one was there – weird, sure, but convenient nonetheless. Akihisa nodded his head, as Ayumi dragged Akihisa closer to the abandoned ship. A reluctant Tsukiyo was dragged along, lest she leave "Keima" alone with the competition. Up on deck, Ayumi kicked away a loose panel on the ship, the board of wood sliding far, far away from the trio. She reached inside, unearthing a tuxedo and wedding gown. Pulling both of the garments out, she faced Akihisa with a smile on her face. Akihisa tilted his head out of confusion.

"Oh yeah, you have amnesia," said Ayumi, scratching her head with her free hand. Akihisa's inquistive tilt deepened – was that what Tenri told them? Tsukiyo's frown deepened, as a cranky Vulcan got even crankier. "This tux was what you wore when you gave me this dress and told me to marry you. We were supposed to get hitched, but you sorta left after the pre-ceremony kiss. Can we continue-"

"We," interjected Tsukiyo, cutting off the runner, "were just about to go moongazing on a nearby hill. You can have your little ceremony some other lifetime." As the two ladies politely glared at each other, Akihisa was reminded of the earlier bout between Mercury and Vulcan, and he didn't want a mortal repeat. He quickly stepped into the crossfire of eye daggers to separate the two ladies, and said, "Why not both?"

"..." Silence reigned, as both girls slapped their palms to their faces. Tsukiyo was the first to recover from a dose of Akihisa's stupidity, and said, "You can't go moongazing on a hill while having a wedding ceremony at a church."

"Um... you can have the ceremony outside instead?"

"You were the one who said that there has to be a big kiss in a church with the words 'Happy End' floating outside," said Ayumi, finally recovered from the Ultimate Idiot's idiocy. Akihisa had to keep himself from falling flat on his face. Who would be so stingy as to put unorthodox requirements on a loving union!? If Akihisa were to ever meet the guy, he'd probably hate him.

"Okay, okay," said Akihisa, who at the very least diverted the girls' anger away from each other, "I have an idea. If I can't give Tsukiyo her 'all alone with me under the moonlight' and your 'get married in a church' thing at the same time..."

"...Maybe we could mix them together."


3.) Mwahaha, cliffies! Anyway, you'll see the outcome in chapter 34, whenever that comes out.
