I glanced at my plushie of Senpai. After considering and looking at it over and over again, I gave up to the desire and packed it in my bags with the rest of my stuff.

We were leaving Pekopon temporarily for a mission. The HQ back on Keron had discovered a new extremely large group of Vipers on a yet to be identified planet, and we needed to eliminate them before they became any threat to the Keronjins.

After making sure I brought everything needed, I walked down to the control room where everyone else was waiting for the departure, except for some of the members of Garuru Platoon, who were setting up for the launch of the ship.

"Hey Senpai," I sat right next to the red Keronjin who was cleaning his guns by his tent… Wait, he brought his tent with him?
He shifted his body, moving further away from me, and refused to take his eyes off his guns.
"What were you saying yesterday, Senpai?" I giggled.
"I, I don't know what you are talking about." He said quietly.
Playing dumb now, are we?

"The enemies aren't very strong, but their number is terrifyingly big." Pururu started her before-the-departure speech, cutting our conversation, "the most efficient way to wipe them off all at once is to capture the leader first."
"You could say, kill the king of the herd?" Mois said.
"Exactly. We have already investigated their planet a bit, but I'll leave the rest to you, Kururu Souchou."
"Kuku, no problem." I replied, already doing research on my laptop.

"After knowing the main conditions on their planet, Garuru Chui and I," she said with a light blush, "we will pair up to investigate their base, and so will, um, Ze, Zero..?"
"Sessha's name is Dororo (did you forget me again?)."
"Right. Dororo-kun and Tamama Nitouhei will pair up for the second investigation group."
"Nin!"
"Hai, desu."
"Wait, what about me?" Giroro Senpai said impatiently.
"You're too loud. They will discover you right away."

"…"
"Kuku."

"Anyway," she continued on, "be alert at all times. We never know when they will attack. If they do, we will definitely need you then."
"Yoshi." Senpai said while he went back to polishing his weapons.
"And Mois, you will stay behind in the ship and be in charge of communication and data organization."
"Yes, Oba, um, Pururu-san."
"So everyone has a job?"
"Um, actually, Gunso-san doesn't."
"Speaking of which, where is that brat?"

"Fuyuki-dono!"
"Gunso!"
"Fuyuki-dono!"
"Gunso!"

"Would you guys just stop hugging already?" Senpai said angrily as he couldn't take their sentiments anymore.

We were descending slowly from the ship down to the Hinata house.
Taichou and Fu-ki were crying together, what losers.

"What's with all the noises, stupid frog?" Hinata Natsumi pushed open the glass door violently and walked out from the house into the backyard, where it was getting more and more crowded with aliens and Pekoponjins.
"Natsumi-dono!" Taichou ran towards her and let waterfalls of tears spill down as he hugged onto her leg. "We are leaving de arimasu! Who's going to do all the dishes? Who's going to clean the floor? Who's going to do the laundry? Who's going to take care of you guys, Natsumi-dono?"
"Get. Off." The red haired beast growled. She sprung her leg so that Taichou went flying, and so did his tears.
"GERO~~!"

"What's all the fuzz about, Fuyuki?"
"Nee-chan, Gunso and the others are leaving for a mission and they won't be back for weeks."
"Really? Everyone's leaving?"

"Uh, ya." Senpai walked slowly towards her. I stared at them through my glasses.
"You are going, too? Well, have fun."
"Take care of yourself, Natsumi. Don't forget to do your homework."
"Sure." She smiled at him, and he yet blushed again. I felt a slight taste of jealousy, and wondered what was it that she had and I didn't.
"Um, Na, Natsumi…" he was stuck on words, and then I realized that he was holding a roasted sweet potato behind his back.
"What is it?"

There was a slight motion in his arm, almost bring the potato out behind his back, but he then stopped as if he suddenly remembered something.
Senpai turned his head and looked at me, and realized that I was watching.
"Ahem, no, nothing, never mind."

After Pururu spent 10 minutes separating Taichou from the Hinatas, everyone got on the ship.

"Keroro-kun, what is all this?" Pururu pointed at the huge bag that Taichou was carrying.
"Uh, just some luggage de arimasu." His expression showed that he was hiding something.
"Let me see."
"No, wait! Pururu-chan!"
Pururu opened the bag. Like everyone expected, it was filled with Gunplas.
"I'm throwing these out in space." The violet Keronjin said heartlessly.
"NO! My MS-09RS and MS-06F-2 and HGUC-PMX-003 and RX-178-EX and.." No one bothered to listen to him. "Sob…sob…"

"Pu, pu, pu," I heard a voice approaching me from behind. "Hey, old man."
Tororo came up to me. His glasses were so dull and old-fashioned. Ore-sama's are so much cooler.
"What's with your Taichou? Is your whole platoon useless like him?"
"Shut your mouth, squirt. Taichou can be simple minded, but at least the rest of us are way better than you."
"Pupu, if you say so."
He held up a bag that was in his hand, "want some chips, old man?"

"Don't eat that stuff. Junk food isn't good for you." Senpai suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
"Who are you to judge me?" Tororo said rebelliously and rolled his eyes as he stuffed some chips into his mouth.

"Eat this." He tossed a sweet potato at me and started walking away. Was this the one he was holding earlier?
"Why are you giving me this, Senpai?"
"I, uh," his movements suddenly stiffened a bit, "I'm not going to eat it anyways."

Sometimes I wondered why he always tries to act so cool.
