Opening Theme:- 青空のラプソディ - fhana
[Continued on after the end of Chapter 13:- Kei's trust.]
-In the early morning on a Wednesday, Kei was watching TV peacefully as he was watching a group of idols called Aqours singing together in a concert as Kei was listening to their songs and was enjoying music. Momo woke up to see Kei watching and listening intently as she smiled happily and squealed softly as she found him to be very cute as he was listening to it like a little child, Mikan was in the kitchen as she was making breakfast for everyone. When time passed as everyone had gotten ready and eaten, they would all leave for school but before they left the house, Mikan pulled Kei's shirt lightly as he turned around to see Mikan as it seemed like she wanted to ask him something-
Mikan: K-Kei-kun!
Kei: Yes?
Mikan: Later after school, would you come over to my school and pick me up? We'll go buy some groceries together after that.
Kei: Of course.
Rito: Y-You know, you could've asked me.
Mikan: No. You have bad luck!
Rito: Eh?!
Kei: I'll leave after school is done and come by and pick you up, then we can go.
Mikan: Yay~!
Momo: H-How about me?!
Nana: You and I have class duties to attend to!
Momo: Tsk!
-Everyone then left the house and went to school, soon later when Kei and the others arrived to school, they went to their classes and did their own work before classes started. Kei was reading a book while the girls were watching him from a distance as Momo was also watching him as she was daydreaming at the same time while Nana was doing her homework in class with Mea's help, in minutes time, Tearju came into the classroom as everyone started to learn their subject through the passing hours until it was break and as break hit, Kotegawa Yui went to Kei's class to find Kei. Kei would then follow Yui up to the roof as Momo, Nana, Yami and Mea wanted to follow but were pushed back by the other student council members as the conversation with Yui and Kei were private-
Yui: Kei-kun?
Kei: Hmm?
Yui: What is your relationship with Mikan-chan?
Kei: Sister. She's like a sister to me.
Yui: Is that so? Then about with Yuuki-kun?
Kei: A pest.
Yui: Eh?
Kei: An animal.
Yui: W-What? Why?
Kei: I do not like him.
Yui: May I ask why?
Kei: Personal reasons. Now, ask what you want. I assume that what you wanted to ask me is very important, since you did not want Momo or Nana up here.
Yui: W-Well this isn't something that I'd personally do but I was wondering if you would like to be the vice president for the student council?
Kei: Why must I be part of the council?
Yui: Well. A lot of the students, mostly girls were saying that you're very obedient, intelligent and physically strong and sociable to most standards unlike Yuuki-kun and you respect everyone apart from Yuuki-kun in this school along with the fact that 98% of the girls in the school trust you the most, even though you didn't really do anything..
Kei: So you're doing this on their behalf?
Yui: I guess you can say that..
Kei: I decline.
Yui: Eh? How come? It's a big offer though, normally you'd have to have votes to be the Vice President.
Kei: I am no leader of any sort and I do not believe that I'll be fit as the Vice President, if you want efficiency, your best choice would be Momo or perhaps Yami. They are more reliable in terms of paperwork and all sorts of related law work.
Yui: I guess you're right but are you sure you don't want the part?
Kei: No, thank you, Kotegawa. -He said as he turned his back to her and opened the door and walked down as Yui looked at his back and saw that his back is quite large and manly-
Yui: He's very...Mature...Perhaps more mature than the 3rd years in the school and me combined..
-The school radio was on as it was playing the theme song to Pacific Rim while Kei was walking through the hallways as the girls were all staring at him and were dreaming about him as Kei went to find Momo and Nana and have lunch together with them. As he was having lunch with the girls, he was being fed by Momo as hearts could be seen coming out of Momo's head as she seemed really happy that everything is back to normal with Kei though Kei had a sort of itch on his head as it felt like something might happen but he does not know what, though Kei ignored the problem and just laid back as he relaxed with Nana and Momo. Later on after break and the classes as Kei was leaving to go pick up Mikan, he came across the same couple he saw the other day with Mikan, the two redhead siblings as the male spoke to Kei-
Shinji: Hey there.
Kei: Yes?
Shinji: What's up with the tail?
Kei: It's...Cosplay.
Shinji: Damn. Had not seen a good cosplay in years. Are you gonna cosplay Bahamut from Final Fantasy or something?
Kei: N-No..
Shinji: You'd look cool in it for sure though.
Maki: Shinji~ I'm back- Who's this?
Shinji: Just some student, take care of your tail man, you're gonna need it.
Kei: Thank you..?
Maki: How many times you think you can do it tonight?
Shinji: Once.
Maki: What? Don't be stingy!
Shinji: Okay, two.
Maki: You're an idiot, Shinji.
-In a few minutes, Kei was at Mikan's school gate as he was waiting for her until he saw her walking out of the locker entrance with her friends, Mikan saw Kei as she smiled happily and ran up to him and hugged him tightly until she remembered that she was in public as she would then stop hugging him and blush as she got embarrassed as the girls were all staring at Kei while the boys were somewhat jealous of Kei. Mikan and Kei then left and head to the market to buy some stuff together-
Mikan: What else do we need? We have carrots, eggs, some other vegetables, beef, pork..
Kei: Milk and juice?
Mikan: Ah yes! And coffee and tea too!
Old lady: My my, kids sure get together at such a young age now~
Old man: Tell me about it! He looks 25 and she looks 16!
-Kei would blush slightly as he was slightly embarrassed but as he looked at Mikan, her face was completely red but she smiled softly and innocently as Kei found her smile and blush to be somewhat adorable as he petted her head lightly as Mikan would look up and blush even more so to see Kei smiling at her. After the two had finish their shopping, they went straight back home as Mikan started cooking while Kei was bringing in the clothes and was also helping out with Mikan by setting up the table but as Kei was setting the table up halfway, he fell onto his knees as he was unable to breath through his mouth for moments as he was panicking and was sweating as Mikan was beside him and was worried as she stopped whatever she did and had Kei sit down on the couch as she sat beside him and rubbed his back slowly but Kei was having a vision. A Xenomorph Warrior was standing on top of a building in Tokyo as it was drooling, the Xenomorph would look up into the sky to see a giant mothership that belongs to the Deviluke Empire and the city was swarmed with over trillions of Xenomorphs, at that moment, Kei was able to breath normally but was afraid for his life and his friends as Mikan seemed like she could cry from worrying about Kei as Kei would then hug Mikan tightly in his arms and rubbed her head softly as he was trying to comfort her while Mikan was trying to do the same for Kei as she tries to comfort him by rubbing his back slowly-
Kei: I-It is okay...I am all right..All right..
Mikan: You sure? Because you just stopped breathing and your heartbeat stopped beating for about a few seconds and you did not blink for nearly a minute while you were sweating a lot. W-What happened?
Kei: I-It's...It is just a phase that I am going through..
Mikan: A-Are you sure? It looked really painful..
Kei: I am fine..Thank you.. -Mikan then set her forehead on his as a tear drop could be seen coming out of her closed eyes as she was worried sick about Kei as she thought that he might have died for a moment, Kei blushed and got slightly teary over how much Mikan cared as he held her hands and whispered softly- I am sorry for making you worry about me..
Mikan: Just...Don't die on me..
Kei: I promise..
-Kei then considered on what had happened on why the Deviluke mothership was in Earth and was wondering why was the Swarm awake, he got worried but he tried not to think too much about it for Mikan's sake as he did not want her to get sad, though he now has doubts of his own abilities to protect his new family from the upcoming danger-
