Chapter 4: One Hot Retreat (Natsume Route, eventually)

The Luxiole had just made it to Magiic. Docking in the spaceport, the Angels and i proceeded onto the surface.

"Dang, i'm hungry. Anyone know a good place for some grub?" i asked.

"There's a restaurant a few roads from here." Kahlua piped up. "I'll lead you there." Sure enough, we got there in good time - only to see a customer involved in some sort of issue.

"YOINK!" Anise said as she zoomed past him. His wallet was in her hand, hence the 'yoink'. "Whaddaya know? He was trying to get a free meal."

"WHY YOU LITTLE BITCH!" the customer yelled in response. Anise simply stuck her tongue out and taunted him before zooming past him the way she came.

The customer turned with her but was interrupted partway by a blonde whose arm wrapped round the front of his neck before driving him to the floor.

"RKO FROM OUTTA NOWHERE!" i yelled out in a commentator voice.

"Hahahahahahahaha, you're still the funny guy i love!" a female voice said in response.

I recognized that voice.

"Ranpha?!"

"MARTY!" Ranpha Franboise, the blonde martial artist, squealed as she leapt into my arms.

"It sure has been a while, hasn't it love?" i asked her.

"Too long. But with the work we get, it's understandable." she answered.

"Hold on, you two know each other?" Anise asked. Kahlua promptly Gibbs'd her.

"We've been in love for five years." At this point a waiter came up.

"Since you dealt with that unruly customer, how about a meal on the house?"

"Oh i'm in!" Anise squealed, rushing towards a random available table.

Later we finished off Dieta for good, we decided to add insult to injury by having Tequila land the fatal blow. Once she was dealt with i was with Ranpha on the bridge.

"Any ideas on what to do next?" i asked her.

"Well, if you go round Hokkori sometime soon i'll be in a cabin for a few days, i wanna show you that i want you all for myself."

"Oh don't worry, if we go that way i'll be there."

Once the Crust Breakers were dealt with the Luxiole entered Hokkori's vicinity. I wonder who Kazuya was gonna pick to go with him.

"Hey, Marty, wait up." a female voice behind me spoke up. Turning around i noticed it was Anise, but her appearance was vastly different. Her hair had been styled differently, and her outfit was an altered version of the Tea Lounge uniform. "Kazuya wanted to give you his ticket, but i told him to keep it so Melba doesn't make him crossdress. Sure, it hasn't stopped Jet but in his case it's not crossdressing; i might've played a certain trilogy of PlayStation 2 games, that's why i decided to take Kazuya's place in the Tea Lounge. Through that trilogy of games i discovered that i'm the only other member of the Angels who ends up in this type of outfit, which was part of my reason to take his place."

"So you're giving me yours instead, then."

"Yeah. Besides, not only will it enable you to have your personal time with Ranpha, but it might help me reconnect with my feminine side."

"Ah, okay. Thanks Anise." After taking her ticket, i departed the Luxiole. Didn't take long for me to find the cabins, one of which had a burly security guard outside the door.

"You're being expected, i'll be taking my leave." he said before walking away. I entered and, sure enough, Ranpha was in there.

Boy did her outfit make me so hot i couldn't think straight. She was wearing a palm leaf skirt, and had actual clean coconuts covering her breasts. All i'm gonna say about what happened next is one thought i had along the way.

Life is good!
