Chapter 59: The Battle for Porn and Faith

Hey hey hey! My favorite readers! Welcome back! Sorry this took so long, but remember that mortgage I mentioned before? I... think I mentioned it... If I didn't, I got a mortgage! And these last two months I've been having to move from one house to the other, which has been insane. My family has a lot of crap and we were going from a place with a lot of storage to a place with no storage. A place with a full basement and full attic to a place with neither of those things. A shed out back full of stuff to one without one. So literally every moment not spent at work and asleep was spent there for two months. Needless to say, I haven't had much time.

Anyway, since I got done with that, I also took on another hobby! I redraw manga now! There's this delightful little gem of a manga I've found named Shinozaki-san ki wo Ota shika ni (Don't become an Otaku Shinozaki!). It's super cute and I highly recommend it!

Kimochi, this would be a weird Lucky Star story with no filler, at least in my opinion. I'm glad you liked it!

Gigarot, glad you liked the date, I enjoyed writing it! How will their relationship change? WHO KNOWS?

Prospector, you were glad the last one came out, so here's another one! Hope you enjoy!

NoMutant, I like writing the slice of life ones too! I've read Negima too, it's one of my favorite fantasy manga. I suppose it is kind of the same, where that one started out as mostly slice of life and shifted to more action, but that was also more because the author was being required to write a harem slice of life manga or he wouldn't have gotten permission to write it. He wanted to write action, but had to write slice of life until he had enough of a following to shift the genre. I digress, but I know a lot of people like the slice of life so I like to space the plot out with it. That's one of the reasons I have no idea how long this story is gonna turn out. With purely plot chapters at their current length, I could still push this story at least thirty or forty more chapters. So... And OH MY GOD, I thought I was weird when I said the characters write themselves! Honestly, I'll go into conversations with these characters knowing what I want them to say and they go way off script! It happens so often! I'm so glad to hear I'm not the only one... And yeah, it was REALLY odd switching from TRTP to Luckier Star. Writing all of the different nicknames was so weird. Kagami doesn't have a nickname for Konata in TRTP, so I have to constantly correct myself for first few thousand words before falling back into Luckier Star. And do I know Shinryaku? I've determined that Ika Musume and Seto no Hanayome are in the same universe, and Chizuru is constantly under the influence of the Song of the Hero. See, when the scientists use their tech, they determine she's, with great effort, moving at a third of her normal, casual speed. When Nagasumi is under the influence of that song, he moves at at least three times the normal speed of regular humans casually, as when he's effortlessly fighting off three of them. We never see Chizuru exert any effort, so who knows. So yeah, another thing I put way too much thought into. Man, NOW I digress. I actually used to read reviews as they came out, but I find that not reading them until I work on the story they're for helps motivate me. Looking forward to getting back to TRTP!

DavesRepublic, it is, in fact, longer than any other Lucky Star story. I took great pride in that achievement. And yeah, there are a lot of references to action anime. And the Hiiragi family has always seemed underused to me. They're so fun to write! In fact, for a while, I had full intentions to write an InoriXMatsuri story. Same ones from Luckier Star, just from their point of view. Of course, very little to do with Luckier Star, and more to do with them and their friends, but it never really got off the ground. And Tony being a Mary Sue? Well, he was in the first few chapters to prove a point mainly. Even a Mary Sue who, at the time, was perfect couldn't stand in the way of Konata and Kagami. In fact, I think the only person who could possibly keep those two apart is Tsukasa herself. And, to be perfectly honest, I wasn't really that crazy about Lucky Channel in the series. On my next watch through, I honestly only watched a few of them. I mainly included it because I wanted to make it close to the original anime. Of course, it's grown on me. I enjoy writing these laid back chapters! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

And Guest, I'm... guessing you're all the same person? I'm glad to see you're liking it! And Artemis Fowl is one of my favorite book series. I haven't read it in a long time unfortunately.

Tomek... I'm in tears. The praise... It's too much! It made my week! I must have read it a thousand times! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much, even rereading your review to type this is proving difficult because I can't stop smiling! And about the lemons...

Well, I've been practicing, and getting some pretty decent feedback, actually. All good ratings, at least. On a separate site, under a different name, with differently named characters, of course. I'm still a long way off from where I would like to be, but I intend to get as much practice as I can by the time I try it for any of these stories.

Abinac, I hope you're still reading! And I hope you enjoy!

LUCKY~ STAR~!

In the Morning

Konata yawned and stretched. The first thing she noticed was that there was a delicious scent in the air. She stood and got dressed, opening the door. It was so weird to wake up to something that good smelling. Normally, scents didn't start until she made them. She walked down the hall and into the living room to see Kagami sitting at the table, staring at her phone, giggling suspiciously. Konata walked over to her girlfriend and looked over her shoulder. She blushed at the picture on the phone.

"So~." Konata made her presence known.

"WAH!" Kagami fumbled her phone as she closed it, hiding the device from sight.

"What you doin' Kagamin?" Konata smiled. Kagami blushed.

"... Did you see it?" Kagami asked. Konata nodded.

"You really sneaked into my room last night and took a picture of me while I was asleep?" Konata asked.

"I couldn't help it! ... Your sleeping face was just so cute..." Kagami mumbled with a blush as she averted her gaze in embarrassment.

"I know what you mean, your sleeping face is cute too." Konata said.

"I understand it now! I use to think you were weird for liking something like that, but your face..." Kagami put her hands on her cheeks. "... It was just so smushy and adorable!" Kagami squealed.

"Wow Kagamin, you're kind of a pervert." Konata giggled. Kagami glared at Konata.

"If I'm a pervert, you're a super pervert!" Kagami said accusingly. Konata shrugged.

"I've never once denied being a pervert. Remember, I risked my life and limbs just to spank you on your fit rear." Konata said. Kagami blushed worse.

"... So you're not mad that I took a picture of your sleeping face?" Kagami asked. Konata shook her head and took her own phone out. She unlocked it and showed it to Kagami, who stared at her blankly.

"Your sleeping face is my background!" Konata chimed. Kagami sighed.

"I guess I can't be mad myself, can I?" She asked.

"No, you can't." Konata giggled. "So what's that smell that I smell?" Konata asked. Kagami blushed a lot more.

"Wh-What kind of smell?" Kagami asked.

"Some really yummy smelling food." Konata said. Kagami breathed a sigh of relief.

"Yeah, Mom is making breakfast. She's really awesome at cooking, so that's probably why it smells so good." Kagami said. Konata seemed to be in a daze for a little bit before smiling and sitting down.

"It's so weird..." Konata said.

"Waking up to breakfast?" Kagami asked. Konata shook her head.

"Having a Mom..." Konata said. Kagami blinked a time or two before smiling. She put an arm around her little girlfriend.

"Well, that feeling of weirdness will go away after a while, but just remember. You're a part of this family now." Kagami said. "We'll always love you. Mom, Dad, Inori, Matsuri... Especially me. We're all going to be there for you. Forever." Kagami said as she tightened her half-hug on Konata. She looked over and heard Konata sniffle.

"Kagamin..." Konata said as tears came to her eyes. "I never thought I'd have such a big family. Ever since Mom..." Konata mumbled.

"Well believe it. We're here for you for good. Unless you get, like, immortality or something. Then, for the rest of our lives." Kagami said.

"I'm not taking immortality unless you are Kagamin." Konata giggled.

"I don't think I really want to be immortal." Kagami said. "It'd be cool for the first while, but after watching everyone I know and love die, I think I'd be really really depressed." Kagami said.

"But then you'd have the time to do anything!" Konata said.

"So even if I died of old age, you'd still take immortality?" Kagami asked.

"I just said if I took it, you would have to have it too." Konata said. Kagami huffed.

"Well, still. All of our other family..." Kagami said.

"Don't worry dear." Miki giggled as she walked out of the kitchen, a few plates of breakfast balanced on her hands and arms. "I intend to live forever." She giggled. Kagami smiled.

"I'm gonna hold you to that." Kagami said. Konata looked up at Miki and smiled.

"Hi Mom!" She said. Miki smiled warmly to her new daughter.

"Hello, Konata. I hope you slept well." She said. Konata nodded.

"I slept really well! Thank you so much for breakfast!" Konata said. Miki nodded and set the plates down.

"Of course. I enjoy making breakfast for everyone." Miki said. Inori and Matsuri walked out of the hallway, yawning.

"Mom, did you cook breakfast...?" Inori mumbled.

"I'm hungry..." Matsuri mumbled.

"They live..." Konata chuckled as they stumbled over and sat at the table. Konata counted four plates.

"Mom, don't you have a plate?" Konata asked. Miki shook her head.

"There wasn't enough eggs for my own. I didn't have time to run to the store to buy more before I knew you would wake up." Miki said. Konata nodded and stood.

"I'll be right back!" She said.

"I wanna come!" Kagami said.

"I'll be faster if I go myself!" Konata said as she primed herself.

"No, you don't have to..." Miki began.

"Summon the wind inside myself..." Konata reminded herself as she summoned Sylph's power. The world slowed down around her as she took off. Kagami giggled.

"I love her." She said.

"What just happened...?" Inori asked.

"Too tired. Don't care." Matsuri mumbled as she ate.

"What did you two do last night that has you so tired today?" Kagami asked. Inori sighed.

"Nothing. Other than a lap pillow." Inori said.

"I want another lap pillow." Matsuri complained as she laid on her side, putting her head on her girlfriend's lap.

"Matsuri, show some restraint." Inori sighed. "It's too early in the morning for this." Inori said.

"It's exactly early enough in the morning for this." Matsuri said from beneath the table.

"Alright, you can keep my lap as a pillow until we leave, but you can't have it later if you do." Inori said.

"Lame~!" Matsuri shouted as she reluctantly sat back up. Kagami sighed.

"I already miss Kona." Kagami sighed. "So where are you guys going?" Kagami asked.

"We're gonna go on a date!" Matsuri hugged onto Inori's arm. Kagami smiled.

"You know, I'm really glad that you guys are going out." Kagami said. Inori and Matsuri's head tilted to the side.

"What do you mean?" They asked.

"You don't worry about what people think. You're sisters. And you're dating. And you don't care." Kagami said. "I really respect that, you know?" Kagami asked. Matsuri smiled.

"You're right. I really don't care that she's my sister." Matsuri said.

"I kinda do." Inori said. "It makes it a little bit more sexy." Inori giggled.

"... But you'd still want to date me if I weren't your sister, right?" Matsuri asked.

"Of course." Inori said. "Incest is a fetish, but I love more about you than that you're my sister." Inori said.

"Oh yeah? Like what?" Matsuri asked.

"Well, how you're always so sleepy when you wake up, no matter how good a night's sleep you got. You're always so cute when you're sleepy. And that rough exterior you have going on with your soft and cute interior." Inori began listing off.

"H-Hey... It's embarrassing..." Matsuri mumbled.

"One of the things I love the most though is that we fight." Inori said.

"Is that a good thing?" Matsuri asked.

"Of course! It's healthy! And that when we DO fight, like, all the time, we're always there for each other afterwards." Inori said. Matsuri smiled.

"Of course we are." Matsuri said. Suddenly, the door flew open as a gust a wind entered the room. Konata panted a bit as she held out a bag with a carton of eggs in it.

"Here ya go~!" She chimed.

"That was quick." Kagami said.

"You know it, Kagamin~!" Konata said. Miki giggled.

"Well, thank you very much for going to the store, Konata. I suppose I can make myself some breakfast now." Miki said as she took the package from Konata, who sat.

"Any time Mom!" Konata waved as Miki walked into the next room. Konata sighed. "Man, I'm exhausted now. And hungry. Time to eat!" She said as she began eating. Kagami giggled as she picked up her own plate, having waited for her girlfriend to return. The food was now cool, but it tasted just as good since she was with Konata.

"So are you gonna keep doing that randomly now?" Kagami asked.

"Doing what?" Konata asked.

"Using whats-her-name for just random, mundane things?" Kagami asked. Konata gave a cheesy grin.

"Totally! If I only summoned her during fights and stuff, I wouldn't get much better! Besides..." She smiled. A huge gust of wind blew past Kagami as a piece of her meal disappeared. "It's totally useful!" Konata said, her face now full of Kagami's breakfast.

"You little brat." Kagami smiled. She stole an equal piece of Konata's and ate it.

"Hmhm~..." Konata hummed as she stole another chopstick full.

"Hey, if you keep stealing mine, I won't have any left! And I need my food!" Kagami began complaining.

"One more!" Konata reached over with the speed of the wind. Her hand hurt Kagami poked it with her chopsticks.

"Hey, listen to other people you idiot." Kagami said flatly. Konata blinked a time or two. Had that just happened? Wasn't she faster than... everyone now? Konata decided to not press her luck and started eating her own.

"Sorry Kagamin~. It's just that the food you eat is more delicious because you've been eating it!" Konata said.

"That doesn't make sense you... idiot..." Kagami blushed a bit. Matsuri and Inori both looked at their own nearly finished plates, then looked at each others.

"I'm taking yours." Inori said.

"And I'm taking yours." Matsuri said as they both exchanged plates and began eating again. A moment of silence passed through the room.

"... She's right, they're the same meal, but this one tastes better." Inori said.

"No, this one does." Matsuri said.

"It does make sense Kagamin!" Konata said cheerfully.

"How?" Kagami asked.

"It's like how drinking a drink after your girlfriend makes it taste better! It's the indirect kiss factor!" Konata said knowingly. Everyone else at the table blushed.

"Kona... Don't say weird things like that." Kagami said.

"Even if it's true~? Yours DOES taste better~." Konata chimed. Kagami glared at her as she stole some of Konata's food again. She growled at bit.

"... Even IF it's true, something like that is a little embarrassing." Kagami said.

"Even though we've already kissed, an indirect kiss is embarrassing?" Konata asked.

"Yeah, I don't really understand that either, but it is. And yes, before you say it, even though you've also seen me naked, it's STILL embarrassing." Kagami said. Konata chuckled.

"But why?" Konata asked.

"Because shut up, that's why!" Kagami shouted at Konata, who's chuckled turned to a laugh. The four of them finished their breakfast.

"So Kagamin, something that those two said got me wondering..." Konata began.

"I have a bad feeling about this... What is it?" Kagami asked.

"Where does Kagami keep her porn?" Konata wondered idly.

"THAT'S NOT SOMETHING YOU ASK SOMEONE!" Kagami shouted.

"Then can I see it?" Konata asked.

"Y-You know what my fetishes are! You don't need to see anything like that!" Kagami shouted.

"Eh~?" Matsuri chimed from across the table. "So you two have been that far, huh~?" She teased.

"We have not!" Kagami yelled.

"Then why does she know what turns you on~?" Inori asked teasingly.

"KONA YOU DUMMY! What the hell did you make me say?" Kagami shouted at her girlfriend.

"I'm sorry master! Please don't use the spiked whip again!" Konata said in mock fear, putting her hands up between the two of them.

"Ah~, Imoto is into THAT sort of stuff, is she~?" Matsuri giggled.

"I am not!" Kagami shouted.

"I didn't know you kept such colorful tools hidden in your room..." Inori giggled as well.

"I DO NOT!" Kagami shouted. "My 'tools' are perfectly traditional!" Kagami yelled defensively. Everyone around her grinned as it sunk in exactly what Kagami had just said. "Uh... I mean..." She mumbled, blushing profusely.

"Kagami is such a pervert..." Konata giggled.

"SHUT UP, YOU... YOU..." Kagami tried to come up with an appropriate title for her brat of a girlfriend.

"Hey, who are you calling a youyou?" Konata asked.

"You, you idiot!" Kagami shouted. "I'm not into that kind of stuff!" Kagami shouted.

"Not into what kind of stuff?" Miki asked as she reentered the room.

"I'M NOT INTO TYING UP KONA AND WHIPPING HER FOR MY OWN PLEASURE!" Kagami shouted. Everyone simply stopped. No one giggled. No one blushed. No one breathed as Kagami processed what she had said, and to whom she said it. Miki was the first to break the silence, giggling.

"My~, how nice it is to be young~." She sighed as Kagami blushed and Konata burst out laughing.

"Yeah! That was perfect Kagamin!" Konata laughed as Inori and Matsuri blushed.

"Hey, if we tried that, who do you think would do the tying and whipping?" Inori asked. Matsuri seemed to give it a disturbingly serious amount of thought.

"Hm... I guess we could take turns if you wanted to try it." Matsuri shrugged.

"We should try it too sometime, Kagamin~!" Konata said. Kagami put her head down on the table and groaned.

"Just kill me..." She mumbled.

With their Siblings

Tony groaned as he woke from his sleep. He was sore from yesterday, mainly in his chest. Even if Tsukasa had healed him, it apparently still wasn't enough to erase the pain from being almost killed by a god. He stood and stretched. Suddenly, a scent caught his nose.

"Oh hell yeah." He said as he ran from his room. Entering the kitchen, he found Tsukasa cooking. "Tsukasa, didn't we say I was going to cook today?" He asked. Tsukasa looked back at him.

"Hi Kan-kun!" She said cheerfully. "Oh! Did you mean all day? I thought you just meant for dinner..." Tsukasa giggled sheepishly as she stuck her tongue out. Tony chuckled. "Sorry Kan-kun, I already finished breakfast. But you can make dinner!" Tsukasa said. Tony nodded.

"Agreed." He said as Tsukasa handed him a plate. The two walked into the living room and sat to eat. Tony handed Tsukasa the remote so she could choose what to watch, which she did. The meal passed between them without anything really happening. Tony used that time to think. He should probably use this time when they weren't being attacked to attune himself to energy so that he could use his Divine Well without almost dying like Hachiman had said he should. He wondered what Tsukasa would do while he did that, since he imagined it would incredibly boring. All he was going to be doing was sitting and letting energy pass through his body. He hummed as he thought.

"What are you thinking about, Kan-kun?" Tsukasa asked with a smile. Tony chuckled.

"I was thinking about training a bit. Would that be okay?" Tony asked. Tsukasa nodded.

"Of course! If that's what you wanna do!" Tsukasa said. "Um... Is that going to be loud?" Tsukasa asked. Tony shook his head.

"Nope. Probably gonna be silent, actually." Tony said. Tsukasa smiled.

"Would it bother you if I invited Teri-chan and Mika-chan?" Tsukasa asked. Tony shook his head again.

"It wouldn't bother me at all!" Tony said cheerfully. "I'm glad I'm not leaving you here by yourself with nothing to do." Tony said. Then, a thought occurred. "Um... On second thought, that might not be the best idea..." Tony mumbled.

"Why not?" Tsukasa asked. Tony scratched the back of his head.

"It's one thing when the person I love tastes my horrible cooking, it's another thing entirely when her friends do..." Tony said. Tsukasa smiled.

"I'm sure you'll do fine." She said. "Just do your best!" Tsukasa cheered. Tony sighed.

"Guess there's no getting out of it now, is there?" Tony asked. Tsukasa shook her head.

"Nope~! Sure isn't~!" Tsukasa giggled happily. Tony sighed.

"You sound like you're having entirely too much fun with this." Tony said.

"It isn't really all that often I get to see you do something you don't think you're good at." Tsukasa said. She smiled and leaned against Tony's shoulder. Tony put his arm around her shoulder as the two sat back. Tony decided he would be able to stay like this for a while before getting to work. Tsukasa hummed for a moment.

"Kan-kun..." Tsukasa began, seeming uncertain about something.

"Hm?" Tony asked. She sounded rather serious. "What's up, Tsukasa?" Tsukasa seemed to debate with herself for a little while before sighing.

"It's nothing." She decided.

"Now you have me curious. What's wrong?" Tony asked. Tsukasa stayed silent for a time. She knew what she wanted to ask, but it was the kind of question that she couldn't ask easily.

Would you... think less of me if... we slept together before we get married? Tsukasa could barely even think the question to herself. There was no way she would be able to ask Tony such a question. It was just... The two lived together now. It was just the two of them. He worked... kind of, and she kept the house. They were practically married in all but name. She wasn't sure if she was emotionally ready, but the thought had crossed her mind and now she was curious herself as to whether she was or not. She shook her head. Until she figured it out, she would just keep this to herself. After all, it was a big decision, and one that Tsukasa would want to take her time making. "It's really nothing, Kan-kun. Sorry to worry you." Tsukasa said. "I gotta think about it myself for a while." Tsukasa said. Tony shrugged.

"No problem. If you wanna talk about it, just let me know, huh?" Tony asked. Tsukasa nodded.

"Thanks Kan-kun. I will." She said. Like that, the two decided to snuggle for a while more before they would separate for the things they would do for the day.

At the Hiiragi Household

Kagami switched her television so that it could be used for video games. The two had forgotten after their date last night, because of the whole business with the lap pillow, that Kagami had challenged Konata to a match.

"So what are we going to play in, Kagamin~." Konata asked.

"A shooter, naturally." Kagami said. It was quite literally the only genre that Kagami could even have a chance of beating Konata in.

"Ah~, your best genre. Wanna make this interesting?" Konata asked. Kagami hummed.

"How so?" She asked.

"If I win, you have to show me your porn." Konata said.

"No." Kagami said immediately.

"And if you win..." Konata chimed. Kagami glared at her.

"If I win...?" Kagami urged her to go on.

"For one day, I'll do anything you want me to." Konata said. Kagami blinked a few times as she took in this bit of information.

"... Anything I want?" Kagami asked to make sure she heard it right. Konata nodded.

"Anything~." Konata chimed. Kagami stared at her.

"... Anything." Kagami made sure.

"Anything." Konata nodded.

"Hm... Can I choose the game?" Kagami asked. Konata giggled.

"Of course." She said. "If I haven't played it though, I would like if you give me a round to get used to the controls. That one won't count, even if I somehow beat you." Konata said. Kagami nodded.

"That's fair. Does anything go?" Kagami asked. Konata nodded.

"You can use any weapons you want." Konata said. Kagami smirked.

"Cool. We'll play this one, then." Kagami said, holding up a game. It was her absolute best game. Under normal circumstances, it was entirely possible Kagami might be able to beat Konata at this one.

"I haven't played that one before. Mind if we play an exhibition match?" Konata asked.

"Oh~, exhibition play. That's a good idea after I win." Kagami giggled. Konata blushed a bit.

"Pretty confident, aren't you Kagamin?" Konata asked. Kagami nodded.

"This is my favorite game. There's no way you can beat me in it." Kagami said. Konata smiled.

"Well, now that I know what's at stake, it's okay if I don't hold back, right?" Konata asked a bit gravely, a pleasant if not deadly serious expression on her face. Kagami nodded.

"I was expecting as much from the start." Kagami said. "I'm not holding back anything either." Kagami said.

"Alright, let's go!" Konata said as the match started. Even being her first time playing this game in particular, Konata handled herself extremely well from her experience in similar shooting games. Kagami decided that she should let Konata off a little and not use all of her tricks in the exhibition match. After all, there was no reason to decimate her yet. And so the two began scouting out the map, Konata systematically going over the entirety of the map and memorizing it. Kagami sneaked a peek at her girlfriend. She rarely saw Konata this focused and it was quite a sight. Kagami smiled and sniped Konata. The two decided on a five life match. Konata hummed as she respawned and ran back to where she was before dying. As Kagami took the shot again, Konata's avatar moved to the side and dodged, aiming at Kagami before shooting her. Kagami smiled. Just like Konata to be able to find where Kagami's hiding place just by how her body flew after being shot. Kagami chuckled and ran to another one of her hiding spots before picking Konata off again. Learning from last time, Kagami immediately left her spot and switch her sniper rifle for a nearby rocket launcher. She found Konata again, who was in the middle of a dump, with falling debris around her. Kagami launched her rocket as Konata turned around. The explosive hit a piece of debris, however, and exploded.

"I forgot about that..." Kagami cursed.

"Hm." Konata hummed as if she had figured something out. Kagami changed to her secondary weapon, a pistol with added accuracy, and shot through the debris into Konata's head.

"Hehe~." Kagami gave a peace sign, but Konata largely ignored it. Kagami was almost a little scared with how seriously Konata was taking this. If she didn't get serious in the actual match between the two, she was going to lose for sure. However, Kagami was using her three aces in the sniper rifle, rocket launcher, and her pistol. Plus, she could prime a grenade with the best of them. More than once, she'd used a concussion grenade to send an opponent flying before throwing a fragment grenade she had primed into them. Plus, she still had her fifth ace up her sleeve. Konata got her in the leg before dispatching her, but Kagami left a grenade behind to take her out after her death.

"Hm." Konata hummed again. "How many grenades do we get?" Konata asked.

"Four frags, five concs." Kagami said.

"Hm." Konata nodded. "Do they restock when you die?" Konata asked.

"Yeah." Kagami said. The Otaku nodded to herself before putting a concussion grenade on the ground and hitting herself with it, which disoriented her screen and sent her flying. She nodded to herself.

"I'm guessing frags deal more damage the closer they explode to you?" Konata asked. Kagami nodded.

"Yep." She said.

"Cool." Konata said. "Alright, I think I know enough now." Konata said as she primed a grenade. She kept it past the last beep and it exploded, killing her. She smiled. "Hm." She hummed. "Let's have some lunch, then we'll have our match." Konata said.

"We just ate breakfast a few hours ago." Kagami said.

"Well, we could have a snack." Konata said. Kagami smiled.

"Trying to buy some time before I murder you?" Kagami asked. Konata giggled.

"A little. I wanna think about what I learned." Konata said. Kagami nodded.

"I guess I understand. I'm not going to go easy on you, though." Kagami said.

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Konata smiled as the two got up to forage for sweets. "What kind of snacks do you have?" Konata asked.

"I dunno, we might have some pocky." Kagami said. Konata hummed.

"That sounds awesome. We can play the pocky game!" Konata said.

"And steal a kiss, huh?" Kagami giggled. Konata nodded.

"Of course, what's the point otherwise? You're sweeter than any pocky." Konata asked. Kagami blushed lightly.

"I love you." Kagami said.

"I love you too." Konata said.

Girls Night~!

"And then he was all like, 'See Kagami? I told ya!' and he sat back down!" Tsukasa said. Tereya and Mikado, sitting in the living room with a plate of sweets to share between the three, looked at her like she was insane.

"You're kidding! And everyone on the train just joined in?" Mikado said. Tsukasa nodded.

"And it wasn't like Kan-kun and them had rehearsed it or anything, they just kept going! And when everyone was done singing, they all just sat down and went back to their day!" Tsukasa said.

"I'm calling bull on that." Mikado said.

"Even with magic... I don't think..." Tereya said meekly. Tsukasa huffed.

"I swear it happened!" Tsukasa said.

"Well, we could always go ask the one who started it..." Mikado giggled as she looked over at the training room that Tony was in, meditating.

"Um... Kan-kun said we shouldn't disturb him. Something about energy flows or something." Tsukasa said. She didn't really understand anything about Tony's magic, but if he said he shouldn't be disturbed, she wouldn't disturb him.

"Lame~! Fine, but I don't believe you!" Mikado said.

"Well... M-Maybe it could have h-happened..." Tereya said. Tsukasa nodded.

"I swear!" Tsukasa said. "Fine, that was my story, let's hear yours!" Tsukasa said. Mikado smiled.

"Alright! This one time, me and Teri-chan were with Mom in the car at a gas station! And these guys came up and they were all 'Do you want us to help with your gas?' and I was all like, 'No, I have gas medicine!' and Teri-chan totally laughed out loud!" Mikado began laughing as if she had told the funniest joke ever. Tsukasa giggled a bit, but was ultimately unsatisfied by the story.

"What? I give you a train full of people singing in harmony at random and you come back with gas medicine?" Tsukasa asked. "I want something more!" Tsukasa complained. Mikado huffed.

"Okay..." Tereya said.

"Teri-chan? You got one?" Mikado asked.

"It happened in my first year of high school..." Tereya began. "I was taking an e-exam about anatomy. It had hard questions... They asked questions like "How many bones are there in the hand?" I didn't know what to put... I kept asking myself, "How many bones are there in the hand?" Then I heard a little voice that said "twenty four."" Tereya started her story.

"I don't remember any of this, Teri-chan." Mikado said, sounding thoroughly confused. Tereya nodded to her friend.

"I looked around the room and there, sitting on the window sill of the classroom was this little grey squirrel with a very intelligent face. And he pointed at his hand and said "twenty four." So I wrote it down. And then after the exam I rushed over to the library to look it up. And would you believe it?" Tereya asked.

"He got it right?" Tsukasa asked cheerfully.

"That stupid squirrel was wrong by four bones! I went looking all over the school for him. I finally found him over on a bench by the cafeteria. "You were wrong!" I shouted at him. "There's twenty eight bones in the human hand!" "Oh," he said pointing at his hand, "I thought you meant a squirrel's hand."" Tereya said. Tsukasa began giggling at first, but continued to grow louder and louder as she laughed.

"That's hilarious! Okay, you win! But I don't know if we can count that story!" Tsukasa laughed.

"Should I make one up?" Tereya asked honestly, making her friends laugh even more.

"So all this talk about cafeterias and stuff made me hungry! What's for dinner?" Mikado asked.

"I dunno! Kan-kun is gonna cook for us!" Tsukasa said cheerfully.

"Oh? I didn't know he cooked!" Mikado said.

"He can cook?" Tereya asked. Tsukasa hummed.

"Um... He... tries..." Tsukasa said. Mikado seemed a bit nervous.

"Why is he cooking for us then...?" Mikado asked.

"I cook all the time and he wanted to cook for me for once!" Tsukasa said.

"That's nice..." Tereya said.

"Well, at least we'll have something to laugh at later." Mikado giggled.

"Please don't laugh at him... He's really gonna try his best! I'm trying to decide on if he would be offended if I gave him pointers..." Tsukasa mumbled.

"I'm sure he'll be fine with it!" Mikado said. "And I promise only to try to not laugh at him." Mikado smiled.

"Thanks, I guess..." Tsukasa said as a drop of sweat rolled down the back of her head. Tsukasa smiled. "I wonder if I should make dessert for after dinner..." Tsukasa wondered.

"Why not?" Mikado asked.

"Kan-kun might want to make dessert too." Tsukasa said.

"Well, let's leave it up to him then!" Mikado said. "Anyone have any more stories?" She asked. The two continued to tell each other funny stories that they had experienced for a while.

Let the games... BEGIN!

Kagami sat with her girlfriend as the two played the game.

Damn it, I was naive! Kagami cursed herself. Konata really had been holding back in the exhibition match. And while Kagami had held back too, she had also shown her hand with her best weapons. Kagami had already been killed twice and she had only killed Konata once. She took her rocket launcher out and, sprinting down the map, fired at Konata from the side. Konata turned and the rocket exploded a safe distance away from her. "How...?" Kagami wondered.

"When your rocket hit the falling debris, I realized it could be destroyed by things other than the land around it and hitting people. All I need to do is fire a shotgun blast when you fire it." Konata said.

But with reload speed and how short a distance the shotgun will hit the rocket, she only gets one shot per rocket to get it right! As expected of Konata... Kagami cursed herself. She rapid fired a few rockets, but Konata responded by shooting them all with her shotgun the instant before they entered her hit box. What reaction speed... Kagami growled before dropping her rocket launcher. One of her aces was now useless. She replaced it with her other ace, the sniper rifle, and sprinted to one of her safe havens before crouching down. She took aim and pointed her gun at Konata's head. She picked Konata off before getting up. She had learned in their previous match that once she fired from a position, Konata would learn it. She was already covering everywhere else that Kagami had shot from before and now the little Otaku was even covering the place Kagami had just shot from. Kagami took another shot, but Konata jumped, causing the shot to hit her in the chest and not land a kill shot. "Damn." Kagami cursed.

"I just need to listen for the shot and jump. You're gonna aim at my head, and you only get one shot per hiding place. I'll just ride it out until you run out of places to hide." Konata explained. Kagami growled.

"Don't underestimate me, damn it!" Kagami shouted as she took another shot. Konata jumped again, but Kagami still scored the head shot since she fired a head over Konata's character.

"Hm hm~..." Konata giggled a bit. Was she still looking down on Kagami? No, the Tsundere had to calm down. If Kagami's blood got too fired up, she wouldn't be able to concentrate on lining up her shots. She moved to her next spot and lined up. "Kagami, bear my child." Konata said.

"Wah-!" Kagami misfired and hit the ground beside Konata. "Th-The hell are you saying now, idiot?" Kagami asked as Konata shot her. She was still relatively far for her weapon, so it didn't kill Kagami, but it still brought attention to the Otaku's plan. "Wah!" She shouted. "Kona, that's a new low, even for you!" Kagami shouted.

"The reward is the opportunity to see Kagamin's porn. I can't hold back." Konata said. Kagami blushed a bit as her head started zoning with ideas about her and Konata as parents.

"Damn it Konata!" Kagami shouted. There was no way she could concentrate on both things at once and she couldn't banish the thoughts of Konata stroking her pregnant belly, getting jealous of their baby as it breastfed, taking Kagami's breasts for herself after their baby was done...

"One more down." Konata said. Kagami gripped her controller tighter as Konata killed her again. Kagami slammed her head into the ground.

"Good! My head is all clear!" She shouted as if trying to convince herself. She switched weapons to her pistol before priming a concussion grenade. She threw it just in time for it to toss Konata in the air. Kagami shot her pistol and picked Konata's head off. Konata respawned and ran up. Kagami let another such grenade and threw Konata up in the air, but this time, Konata's own primed concussion grenade went off as she tossed it behind her, throwing her up towards Kagami. Kagami shot a few times and scored a few hits, but none of them were fatal. Konata landed and shot Kagami in the head with her shotgun, killing her girlfriend for the fourth time.

"One more time, Kagamin~!" Konata chimed.

"You're too busy gloating." Kagami said as the fragment grenade she had left behind went off, taking the rest of Konata's health. Konata hummed.

"So, next kill wins." Konata said.

"I'm gonna make you my slave, Kona." Kagami said. "The things I'll do to you will make even the most perverted blush!" Kagami shouted. "And I know, because you're gonna blush so much." Kagami smiled.

"I'm gonna see your porn stash and read it all until you get all horny and then I'm just gonna follow you until you have to take care of it!" Konata shouted. The two ran into the center, each with the same starting weapon. As soon as each of them came into view of the other, they took the shot.

The Takara Household

Miyuki laid on her couch with a bag of ice on her wrist, having it on the back of the couch. Masuta had wrapped it up in a bandage.

"I told you you were pushing yourself too hard." Masuta scolded the girl. Miyuki sighed.

"I'm not sure I want to hear that from the person who pushed Kanpeki-san so when he was just a boy." Miyuki said.

"Ototo was different. No offense, but he's a lot stronger than you." Masuta said. "His body was made sturdier than yours and he started training from a very young age. You've never fought a day in your life and you're trying to make up for years of inexperience. There's simply no way to do that." Masuta said. Miyuki sighed.

"How long do you think it'll take for my wrist to heal?" Miyuki asked.

"I'm surprised you wouldn't know that." Masuta said. Miyuki sighed.

"... I was hoping for less than forty eight hours." Miyuki said. "I had some new theories I thought I might be able to test out." Miyuki said. Masuta chuckled.

"You've been working hard on this since you asked to be taught. You need to rest, or it'll begin taking even more of a toll on you." Masuta said.

"You never rest. You go to work in the morning and do all of that heavy lifting, then you come home and train me." Miyuki sighed. "If you can do that, I can at least do this much..." Miyuki sighed.

"You're still comparing yourself to the wrong person." Masuta said. "I have so many years of training that it isn't even funny. To compare working for a few days and being disappointed to that you can't match someone with a lifetime's experience is just plain silly." Masuta said. Miyuki nodded.

"I suppose you're right." Miyuki said. "It's just frustrating that I'm so far behind everyone." Miyuki said.

"Well, Kagami just started training too. You two might be on the same level." Masuta chuckled. Miyuki shook her head.

"I think I remember Konata-san saying something about Kagami-san being a natural martial artist." Miyuki said.

"True, but you've been working yourself to the bone, and you're not exactly a slow learner yourself." Masuta said. Miyuki smiled.

"Thank you for the compliment." She said.

"It was a well deserved one." Masuta chuckled. "With how you break down every martial arts technique into it's fundamental movements and applying your scientific mind to it, you're progressing at an amazing rate." Masuta said. "Soon, you'll be the equal of any high level martial artist." Masuta said. Miyuki sighed contently.

"I suppose a couple of days rest wouldn't hurt." Miyuki smiled. Masuta nodded.

"That's the spirit. Rest and let yourself recover. Once you're back at full strength, we'll continue. Until then, let's talk about something else." Masuta said. Miyuki nodded.

"It'll help keep my mind off of it, I suppose." Miyuki said. "So when did you learn to play the piano?" Miyuki asked. Masuta chuckled.

"I dunno, I just liked the sound of it when I was a kid. So... I started learning around then?" Masuta shrugged. Miyuki smiled.

"That's around when Minami started learning as well, when she was a child. However, her decision was more made for her by her parents." Miyuki said. Masuta smiled.

"Did you want to hear a song?" Masuta asked, seeing as how she brought it up. Miyuki smiled and closed her eyes.

"That would be absolutely lovely." She said. Masuta walked over to the piano and sat at it. He leaned over, as if to talk into a microphone.

"This song is for a very special lady in the audience. I think she knows who she is." Masuta smirked. Miyuki smiled a lovely smile.

"I really do love you." Miyuki said. Masuta gave no answer, but simply began playing with a smile on his face.

Girlfriends~!

Tsukasa, Mikado and Tereya all walked down the street. Tsukasa and Mikado had decided that, since they were all friends, it would be fun to go to an onsen. Tsukasa hadn't been to one since the school trip and the other two girls had never been to one. It had taken a while to finally convince Tereya to go, and only on the stipulation that she could keep a towel with her to cover her right side. She was barely comfortable showing Tsukasa her damaged body, let along strangers. If people she didn't know saw her, they would pick on her and laugh at her. Mikado put her arm around her best friend's shoulder and squeezed.

"Teri-chan, I'm really proud of you for coming out here with us." Mikado said. Tereya shrunk a bit and leaned in to Mikado.

"Just please... Don't let anyone see me... Stay beside me and make sure no one sees me..." Tereya pleaded. Mikado smiled and nodded.

"Me and Tsu-chan won't let anyone see you." Mikado said. "Isn't that right, Tsu-chan?" Mikado asked. Tsukasa nodded.

"Uh-huh! We'll find a bath just for us! They have multiple rooms, so we can just choose one that doesn't have anyone in it!" Tsukasa said.

"Do you go a lot, Tsu-chan?" Mikado asked.

"I haven't really gone since we were kids, but it was a lot of fun whenever we did!" Tsukasa said.

"So they have room for just three people?" Tereya asked hopefully.

"Well, they have a bunch of rooms, and I'm sure some of them aren't taken yet!" Tsukasa said. "Once we're in there, we can just say that we don't want to be disturbed and I'm sure other people will understand!" Tsukasa said. Tereya smiled.

"I hope so..." She mumbled.

"So you two have never been to one of these before?" Tsukasa asked. The most verbally abundant of the trio shook her head.

"Nope! The bathroom at home has always been big enough for the two of us, but I guess the bathroom in your boyfriend's house isn't big enough for three." Mikado said. Tsukasa smiled.

"Well it's really a lot of fun with friends." Tsukasa said. "Oh! And also, you can just call it my house!" Tsukasa said cheerfully. She kept walking a step or two more before realizing she was now walking alone. She looked back to her friends to see them staring at her, their mouths dropped.

"You two are LIVING TOGETHER?" They both asked. Tsukasa jumped and backed up a step.

"Um... Yes?" Tsukasa said, as if she were uncertain of the answer now.

"Was this going on when... we..." Tereya didn't seem to want to actually say it.

"When you two dated? No, it happened right after that." Tsukasa said.

"Wait, so you two go through a devastating break up and, once you get back together, the first thing you do is move in together?" Mikado asked. Tsukasa scratched the back of her head.

"Um... I guess..." The airhead mumbled.

". . . Don't you see how that could go really wrong? Are you sure you can trust him?" Mikado asked. Tsukasa glared at her.

"Mika-chan, I really don't think he'd ever cheat on me, and I don't think he'd leave me again." Tsukasa said. Mikado put her hands up.

"No offense or anything! It's just... He did it before ya know..." Mikado said. "I just didn't want to see you get hurt again, Tsu-chan. That's all." Mikado said. Tsukasa huffed.

"How can I prove it to you, then?" Tsukasa asked. Mikado hummed.

"I just got my allowance... I have an idea..." Mikado smiled. Tsukasa squinted at her friend.

". . . I'm listening." Tsukasa said. Mikado smiled a devilish smile that sent a shiver up Tsukasa's spine and grabbed her friends' hands, pulling them.

The Training Room

Tony opened his eyes and stretched. He hadn't moved in hours and, though he had thought he would be bored, it was actually rather difficult to keep energy flowing. Thus, while time HAD dragged on, it wasn't really boring. He stood and went to the door. There was a piece of paper on the floor that must have been slipped under his door at some point. He picked it up.

Kan-kun, me and the girls are going to that onsen near our house, call or text me when you're done. Tony read. He cracked his neck and texted Tsukasa to tell her he was done.

"Alright, what to do while they're gone..." Tony wondered as he left the room and walked into the living room. Then, his phone began ringing. He picked it up after hearing Tsukasa's ringtone and answered it. "Hey Tsukasa, what's up?" He asked.

"..." Tsukasa seemed to be whispering something to someone before coming back to the phone. "Hey Kan-kun! I'm hungry, you wanna meet us somewhere?" Tony looked at the time. It was a little past lunch time. Wow, he thought he had been working longer than that.

"Yeah, sure. Where do you wanna meet?" Tony asked. Tsukasa gave him the address, causing him to look weirdly at the phone. "Wait, where? You're saying you want me to go there?" Tony asked.

"Uh-huh!" Tsukasa said. Tony huffed. If he remembered the tour of the city that Kagami had given him, that cafe was very close to THAT place... Tsukasa must have just not known that such a place was nearby. After all, she didn't know much about those sorts of things. He nodded.

"Alright, I'll meet you there!" Tony said.

"Um... Are you gonna teleport?" Tsukasa asked.

"Probably not, I'm tired of magic and stuff. I'm gonna walk if that's alright." Tony said. Tsukasa seemed to give a sigh of relief.

"Yeah! That's fine! I'm not there yet either!" Tsukasa said. Tony nodded. "Text me when you get there!" Tsukasa said.

"Will do!" Tony said.

"I love you." Tsukasa said. Tony smiled.

"I love you too, Tsukasa." Tony said.

"See you there!" Tsukasa chimed.

"See you there." Tony said. The two ended the call and Tony hummed contently. "Alright... Maybe we'll eat so much that we can't have dinner." Tony chuckled as he got dressed and set out.

Meanwhile, in the Hiiragi House...

The door opened, causing everyone in the living room to look over. Kagami stood there with a smug smile on her face, a rope in her hand.

"You seem happy, Imoto." Matsuri said. Kagami giggled suspiciously as her prize crawled out behind her.

"I want everyone to know, this was her idea." Kagami said. Konata crawled out, led by the leash Kagami was holding.

"Whoa! Traditional, huh?" Inori asked, giggling.

"My, you two are enjoying your youth." Miki giggled.

"Konata, say the line." Kagami said.

"I love you so much, Onee-ch-" She was cut off as Kagami yanked on the leash.

"NOT THAT ONE!" She yelled. Unfortunately, the damage had already been done.

"Oh~!" Inori chimed. Damn it...

"Inori, you're not the only one with a little sister fetish~!" Matsuri chimed.

"NO! THAT'S NOT IT!" Kagami yelled.

"Was there some kind of misunderstanding?" Miki asked.

"I do NOT have a little sister fetish!" Kagami yelled.

"Mistress..." Konata said. Kagami glared daggers at her slave.

"What?" She asked.

"Your twin tails are growing." Konata said. Kagami yanked on the leash again.

"The hell does that even mean?" She asked.

"Well Mistress, when you lie, your twin tails grow." Konata said.

"That makes no sense, and when we're alone, I'm going to punish you for saying something that stupid." Kagami said.

"Wow, so that IS what you're into, huh?" Matsuri giggled. Kagami, defying Konata's expectations, smirked.

"Oh, don't misunderstand. She would enjoy that punishment way too much. I have something much more... well, more in mind for my little Kona." Kagami looked at her slave with eyes told her that she was well and thoroughly screwed. And something told her not in the way she wanted to be. "Mom, don't worry about making lunch or dinner or anything today." Kagami said.

"Oh?" Miki asked.

"Slave!" Kagami shouted, calling Konata to attention. "You'll be cooking meals for everyone in this house today." Kagami said. Konata saluted.

"Master!" She said.

"And I expect it to be good." Kagami said. Konata nodded.

"Master!" She said.

"And." Kagami started.

"Master?" Konata asked.

"I expect you to share yours with me." Kagami said.

"Permission to speak freely, Master!" Konata said.

"... You may have one sentence." Kagami said.

"Do you want me to share because it makes the food taste better when it's eaten with a loved one?" Konata asked. Kagami glared at her.

"... I'm the master, I don't have to answer that." She said, blushing as she had to look away.

"I think you just did..." Matsuri giggled.

"That's enough from the peanut gallery." Kagami said.

"Shall I start on lunch then, Master?" Konata asked. Kagami nodded.

"You best." Kagami said. Konata giggled and walked into the kitchen. Kagami nodded.

"Sounds like you're enjoying yourself." Inori said.

"I think I'm going to have a lot of fun for the next day." Kagami smiled.

At the Restaurant

Tony sighed and looked at his phone to see the time. Tsukasa was around twenty minutes late. He scratched the back of his head. At least he knew she wasn't in danger, or her amulet would warn him of it. He considered texting her again, as he had when he arrived.

"Hey there, Ryu." He heard a voice say. It sounded female. He raised his head and looked at the source of the voice. Yeah. Yeah, she was definitely very, very female. With perfect legs and breasts the size of Tsukasa's head, she sauntered over. "You look lonely. Want some company?" She asked. Tony blinked a few times.

"Uh... I should probably preface this conversation with the fact that I have a girlfriend." Tony said. The girl smirked.

"Let me guess. Short little thing, goody goody, wants to wait 'til marriage to get to the fun stuff?" The woman asked as she sat down. Tony stared at her.

"Yes, yes, and yes. All of which I'm perfectly happy with. She's also very friendly, way more than me. She's gonna be here in a minute if you want to talk and be friends." Tony said.

"I ain't lookin' for friends, honey." She said. "I wanna know if you're as fierce in the sack as you are in the ring." The woman purred. Tony blushed at how direct she was.

"So... Let me get this straight..." Tony said. "You... want me... to leave Tsukasa... to be with you?" Tony asked. The woman nodded.

"That's it, honey." She said.

"Heh... Hehehe..." Tony began laughing harder. The woman looked at him indignantly while everyone else in the place looked at him like he was insane.

"Um, excuse me?" She asked.

"I'm- I'm sorry!" Tony said between laughs. "Just... I already went through something like this before. I left Tsukasa to be with some other girl and it did NOT go well." Tony said. "I'm pretty sure that fate itself has decided that I'm to be with Tsukasa, and I couldn't be happier." Tony said.

"So what am I supposed to do?" The woman asked.

"Believe me, you'll be fine. You're a knockout, ya took my breath away when I saw you, but I can't leave Tsukasa. She's my true love. I've learned that no one can compare to her." Tony said. "No offense. You're a catch. There's just no circumstance, no string of dialogue that will carry me to a point where I'd leave Tsukasa for anybody." Tony said. "I'm sorry." Tony said. The woman huffed.

"Well, I tried." She said as she got up and walked out in frustration.

"Yay~!" Tsukasa shouted. "In your face, Mika-chan!" Tsukasa said to Mikado. Tony blinked, understandably confused.

"Um... What?" Tony asked. Mikado sighed.

"We made a bet." Mikado said. "I was concerned you might hurt Tsu-chan again, so we made a bet that I could find the prettiest girl and get her to go after you, that you'd take it. I paid that lady my whole allowance and Teri-chan was gonna give her her's if she could get you out of here with her." Mikado said. Tony scratched the back of his head.

So that's why we're so close to the red light district... Wait, how much allowance do those two get? Tony wondered. "Even Tereya, huh...?" He chuckled nervously.

"I... I was rooting for you, Kan-chan..." Tereya said.

"I bet you wouldn't go for it!" Tsukasa said. "And you didn't!" Tsukasa rushed over and hugged him.

"So uh... Did you hear all of that?" Tony asked. Regardless of how much he had meant it, it was still embarrassing.

"Yup! Every word~!" Tsukasa sighed happily and sat next to him.

"You should have seen her face when you were talking about how much you could never leave her." Mikado chuckled in spite of having lost the bet. Tsukasa blushed.

"Do-Don't tell him that, Mika-chan~!" Tsukasa whined.

"You earned a lot of brownie points today, man. Good job." Mikado smiled. Tony chuckled, this time not in embarrassment or nervousness. He put his arm around his girlfriend, who snuggled into the booth with him. Mikado and Tereya sat on the other side. Tsukasa leaned her head onto Tony's shoulder.

"Kan-kun... I feel a lot better about it now..." Tsukasa sighed contently.

"About what, Tsukasa?" Tony asked.

"..." She hummed. "It's nothing." She decided.

"You keep doing that. Is this related to that thing from earlier?" Tony asked. Tsukasa nodded. "The thing you said was nothing and are probably still not gonna tell me about?" Tony asked. Tsukasa nodded again. Tony shrugged. "Alright. You can tell me when you're ready." Tony said.

"I'm almost there... I think..." Tsukasa said. Tony chuckled.

"Well I can't wait to hear what this is about." Tony said. Tsukasa nodded.

"Sometime soon, Kan-kun." Tsukasa said. A waitress came over for the four to order. They began making small talk, talking about nothing in particular.

For She is my Master

Konata walked out of the kitchen with a tray of rice balls.

"Eat up everyone, I made them with extra love!" Konata said.

"You sound a little too uppity for a slave." Kagami said.

"I'm so very sorry, Master. Please eat my unworthy rice balls." Konata said, bowing deeply.

"I'll have one." Kagami grabbed one and ate half of it in one bite. "It isn't bad." Kagami said. Miki and the sisters both grabbed one too. Matsuri and Inori both took a bite before switching with each other.

"They're awesome." Inori said.

"Good job, Konatan!" Matsuri praised.

"Couldn't have done it better myself." Miki giggled.

"Don't praise her too much, my slave will get complacent." Kagami said.

"You sure are embracing your role as the Master, huh?" Miki asked. Kagami nodded.

"I get one day where Kona's my slave. You better believe I'm gonna enjoy it." Kagami said.

"Is it okay, Master?" Konata asked.

"It's okay. Slave, I wish to watch you when you make dinner." Kagami said. Konata nodded.

"If that is my master's wish, then it is my command." Konata said. "May I clean your ears, Master?" Konata asked. Kagami hummed.

"I believe that can wait until after lunch. However, once I'm finished eating, I'll take you up on that offer." Kagami said.

"Very good, Master." Konata nodded. I'll have to make sure to never make a bet like this with Kan-kan... Konata chuckled in her head. At least her girlfriend didn't seem to have a master fetish.

"Slave." Kagami said.

"Master?" Konata asked.

"Why are you not eating?" Kagami asked.

"You have not said I was allowed to eat, Master." Konata said.

"Take three small bites and switch rice balls with me." Kagami said. "And I'll hear no comments on what you spoke of earlier." Kagami said.

"Why are you talking like that?" Matsuri asked, though she was ignored.

"Very well, Master." Konata said. Kagami hummed, seemingly dissatisfied with something. "Does something displease you, Master?" Konata asked.

"... No, it's nothing." Kagami said. The room continued eating for a while. "Slave, I want a lap pillow." Kagami demanded.

"As you wish, Master." Konata said. Kagami huffed before laying down on Konata's lap. The two switched rice balls, but otherwise lunch passed uneventfully. Everyone spoke casually except for Konata, who only spoke when spoken to. They finished lunch as Konata retrieved the necessary things to clean her master's ears. And so the couple continued to watch television with their family.

After a Healthy, Though Hard to Stomach Meal...

Miyuki finished her meal, doing her best to hide how... unappetizing it had been. She smiled to Masuta.

"Thank you very much for cooking." Miyuki smiled.

"Hey, it's my fault you hurt your wrist. Just because I can't cook well doesn't mean that I can't cook at all." Masuta chuckled, scratching the back of his head. "I can't make you do all the cooking, after all." Masuta said. Miyuki giggled lightly before putting a hand to her cheek.

"Well, I see what Tsukasa meant about enjoying cooking when it's for the one you care for. I'm also not a talented chef, but I can try to learn to cook." Miyuki smiled.

"Your food tastes a lot better than my food does." Masuta chuckled as he sat down. Miyuki smiled with her eyes.

"You simply don't think much about the taste of it." She said.

"You two are getting along~!" Yukari chimed as she entered the room. "So, when is the wedding~?" Yukari asked.

"M-Mother!" Miyuki stuttered. "We've dated for such a short time!" Miyuki said.

"We've had, like, one date." Masuta said.

"Then why don't we fix that? You two could go on a date right now!" Yukari said.

"That's-!..." Miyuki began to scold her mother for whatever scheme she was likely to have plotted before realizing that her mother hadn't made a weird scheme this time. "-... actually a good idea." Miyuki smiled to her boyfriend. Masuta nodded.

"I'm up for that." Masuta said.

"Great~! I know just the place! See, you go here, then take a left..." Yukari began reciting directions from memory like she wasn't Yukari. Miyuki and Masuta both followed a mental map of the city to get to the destination Yukari had described.

"Um... Miyuki..." Masuta mumbled.

"Mother, we can't go there!" Miyuki blushed.

"If it's an issue of money, don't worry! It's surprisingly affordable!" Yukari said.

"Money isn't the issue! The two of us aren't ready to go to a love hotel!" Miyuki shouted.

"Come on~! Mommy Yukari wants to be a grandma while she's still young enough to enjoy it!" Yukari said.

"We-Well..." Masuta scratched his cheek. "We could still go to a cafe or a movie or something..." Masuta said.

"I like that idea better..." Miyuki said. "There are a few movie theaters in town we could go to." Miyuki said.

"Alright, sounds like a plan." Masuta said. He smiled. "What should we go to see?" Masuta asked. Miyuki giggled lightly.

"I'll leave that up to you." Miyuki smiled as she grabbed his hand, the two walking from the house. Yukari crossed her arms and nodded proudly to herself. She may get those grandchildren yet!

Her wish is my command...

Kagami sighed as she sat in the chair of her room, a tight grip on the leash. Konata sat next to her on the floor, diligently awaiting orders.

"Slave." Kagami said. Konata snapped to attention, standing.

"Yes, Master?" Konata asked. Kagami stood and walked a step to her girlfriend. She put a finger on her slave's chin and gently drew it across, causing Konata to shiver a bit.

"I want some sugar." Kagami said seductively.

"H-How...?" Konata asked. Kagami stared at her.

"What do you mean how?" Kagami asked.

"What do you mean by... sugar?" Konata asked. Kagami stared at her blankly.

"Go to the kitchen. Make something with sugar. And bring it back for me to eat. How is that difficult to understand?" Kagami asked with a smirk. Konata sighed in a bit of relief. Although it would definitely be fun, being taken advantage of while she was enslaved seemed like something out of a bad doujin. Konata could help but wonder if Kagami had seen it in one of the ones she had taken from the Otaku's room. Because she totally had some with that exact scenario.

"Very well, Master. Do you have a preference?" Konata asked. Kagami sighed.

"Hm..." She hummed, though Konata got the impression she wasn't giving thought to what sweet she was in the mood for. "Anything is fine. Pocky is okay." Kagami waved her hand dismissively. Konata bowed.

"Very well, Master." Konata said as she left the room. Kagami huffed.

"... Damn it. This should be fun." Kagami crossed her arms. "Why isn't this fun...?" She wondered. She sighed and shook her head before picking up the game she and Konata had used to decide their bet. She set the difficulty to max and chose the hardest mission. She ran through it and completely slaughtered every enemy in it with an ease she had never had before. In the entire level, not once was she in any danger. She sighed. "Kinda reminds me of Flowers of Algernon." Kagami chuckled. After having faced the ultimate opponent in Konata, what computer could possibly hope to match up? She looked at the door. It was taking an inordinately long time for Konata to go to the kitchen to grab a box of pocky. She shrugged and turned back to her game. This time, she could go through it without her aces to see if there was any challenge. So she kept enforcing new handicaps on herself as she continued to play and wait for her slave to return with snacks.

At the cafe

"I swear! It really did happen, and I didn't use magic!" Tony said.

"See? I told you it happened!" Tsukasa shouted.

"But... How?" Mikado asked. Tony shrugged.

"I don't know, whenever the music takes me, I just start to sing. And everyone follows along." Tony said.

"Same here!" Tsukasa said.

"Could you... demonstrate...?" Tereya asked. Tony and Tsukasa looked at each other.

"... Nope." He said.

"No music." Tsukasa shrugged. Mikado crossed her arms.

"That's lame!" She complained. She sighed. "Are we done here? I heard that a certain someone is making us dinner~." Mikado chimed, looked at Tony slyly. Tony gulped.

"Um... I know not of which you speak." Tony began looking around innocently.

"I... have faith!" Tereya said as confidently as she could. Tony chuckled nervously.

"I wish I could say it was well placed." Tony scratched the back of his head.

"I guess we can head back. Maybe we can talk some more while Kan-kun makes dinner!" Tsukasa suggested. Mikado and Tereya nodded.

"Fine by me!" Mikado shouted.

"Yeah... Let's go..." Tereya said as the four got up.

"Hey, Mister Magic guy, can you teleport us so we don't have to walk?" Mikado asked. Tony shook his head.

"I wouldn't want to. We just ate." Tony said.

"What does that have to do with it?" Mikado asked.

"Does it... make you sick...?" Tereya asked.

"Precisely. Well, you'd have room for dinner then, so maybe..." Tony chuckled.

"No, no thanks. Don't feel like losing the lunch I just ate." Mikado said. "Speaking of which, who's paying? I had to give that lady all of my money, so..." Mikado said, her eyes drifting over to Tony. The boy sighed.

"Fine, I'll cover us." He said. He picked the check up. "Wait... What? How is it this much?" Tony asked, startled. "How are there eight meals on here?" Tony asked the people at the table. One of them blushed.

"Well... There was one for me... One for Mika-chan, and one for you, Kan-kun." Tsukasa said.

"And one for Tereya. That leaves four unaccounted for." Tony said.

"Teri-chan had five!" Mikado giggled as she wrapped an arm around her friend. Tereya blushed deeper as Tony's attention turned on her.

"Wow... really? You know we're having dinner in a little while, right?" Tony asked. Tereya nodded meekly.

"That's... why I held back..." She mumbled. Tony blinked a few times.

"... And I thought I was a big eater..." Tony mumbled.

"She eats us out of house and home!" Mikado giggled. Tereya shrunk a bit in embarrassment.

"Yeah, we definitely don't want to apparate if Tereya just ate five meals. Are you sure you're gonna be hungry for dinner?" Tony asked. As if to answer him, there came a soft grumble from Tereya's stomach. She blushed as a drop of sweat rolled down the back of his head. "... Got it." He chuckled. The four of them stood and Tony left money for the bill. The four set out for Tony and Tsukasa's home.

And so I serve her

Konata stepped into the kitchen, having received an order for pocky. Now, while she could grab one of the boxes she knew Kagami kept around for just such an occasion, that would make her a rather poor slave. She looked around the kitchen to see if she had what she needed. Somehow managing to find everything she would need to make them, she smiled and closed her eyes.

Sylph, summon the wind inside myself... Konata thought as the world slowed. With her new speed, she began grabbing ingredients and turning on the stove.

"Hey Konata~! What's up!" Sylph asked in Konata's head.

Heh, not much. Just lost a bet with my girlfriend and now I'm her slave for a day. Konata thought.

"That sounds fun! Did she take advantage of you yet?" Sylph asked excitedly. Konata blushed at how Sylph seemed to imply it was inevitable.

Wh-Wha! N-No, she hasn't! Konata said. Sylph hummed before giving the impression of a supporting hand on Konata's shoulder.

"Don't worry, I'm sure she will! After all, why would she have you get chocolate if you two weren't going to have fun with it?" Sylph asked. Konata shook her head.

"No, that's not the issue!" Konata denied aloud.

"Oh? What's wrong? Not getting into it?" Sylph asked.

"No, I'm just cooking her a snack!" Konata said.

"... A sexy snack?" Sylph asked.

"No, a regular snack, pocky!" Konata said.

"Pocky? What's that?" Sylph asked.

"You don't know what pocky is?" Konata asked.

"Hey, I haven't seen a human in... Um... How long has it been since Oji was alive? I know he's a god and all now, but when he was human!" Sylph asked. Konata thought, but history was not her strongest subject.

"Dunno, but a long time." Konata said.

"Well, since then!" Sylph said. "And she's your girlfriend! So I thought it might be a sexy snack!" Sylph said.

"What would a sexy snack even be?" Konata asked.

"You! With... chocolate? I dunno, I don't know what passes for snacks these days if chocolate is one of them..." Sylph said.

"How do you know what chocolate is?" Konata asked.

"Are you kidding? Chocolate has been around for thousands of years! Back when humans used to come worship me, they brought drinks with chocolate in it! It was super bitter though. That's why I thought you guys were going to have fun! It had spices and wine and gave you strength! At least... I think?" Sylph said, although a bit uncertainly.

"... I have several questions." Konata said.

"I have all the answers!" Sylph said cheerfully.

"You were worshiped?" Konata asked.

"All of us greater spirits were! It was a lot of fun playing with all the humans, but they were really scared of me too sometimes 'cause the wind played with us too. So they thought I was getting angry!" Sylph said. "So they stopped visiting and then only people who wanted my power came to me..." Sylph sighed.

"Did a lot of people succeed?" Konata asked.

"Most of them chose lesser spirits to make contracts with 'cause I was too hard on them, or 'cause I didn't like them. Only two people have ever gotten my power before you!" Sylph said as if to congratulate her. Konata smiled.

"So you can make contracts with lesser spirits?" Konata asked. She got the impression of Sylph nodding.

"Yeah, but don't even think about cheating on me!" Sylph shouted. Konata chuckled.

"Don't worry, you're the only spirit for me." Konata said, finding out childishly possessive the spirit was pretty funny.

"Having sexy time with the twin tailed girlfriend is okay, though! So get to it!" Sylph giggled. Konata blushed.

"I told you, I'm just making a regular snack!" Konata protested.

"Oh... Oh! Are you two not in to that kind of stuff yet?" Sylph asked. Konata shook her head.

"N-No... No we're not..." Konata mumbled. Suddenly, she heard giggling behind her. She looked behind her to see Miki. The surprise caused her summon to slip and returned her to a normal speed.

"You're not what, Konata?" She asked. Konata blushed.

"Um... Not... there with Kagamin..." She said. Miki tilted her head to the side.

"Who were you talking to?" She asked. "It seemed like quite the conversation." She smiled. Konata hummed.

Sylph, was there a reason you didn't want Mom to know about you? Konata thought to Sylph. She waited a moment, but no response came. She sighed in her head.

"Konata?" Miki asked.

"Oh, just myself." Konata said. She wasn't sure why Sylph hid every time Miki was present, but Konata decided to humor the ancient spirit and leave her out of it. Miki hummed and stared at Konata for a moment.

"... Okay." She smiled, though it was like she knew Konata was lying. "Just let me know when you want to~." Miki turned and walked back to the living room. Konata hummed. She shrugged before turning back to the oven. She put the finishing touches on the pocky before picking up the tray and bringing it with her master. And so she continued to serve.

Luckier Channel

"Luckier~ Channel~!" Akira shouted. "Hiya Luckies~! I'm your navigator, Akira Kogami~!" Akira shouted.

"And I'm the assis-Gah!" Minoru was cut off as Akira yanked on a leash attached to his neck.

"Excuse me?" Akira asked, somehow her cutesy voice more unsettling than her grumpy voice. "You're doing this to apologize for trying to usurp me, right? Say it RIGHT!" Akira said.

"I-I didn't-gah!" Minoru was cut off again. "A-And I'm the slave, Minoru Shiraishi!" Minoru said.

"Well, now we know the person in charge here, RIGHT?" She asked. Minoru choked a bit as he was yanked around.

"Y-You are Akira-sama!" Minoru shouted. She yanked again, so that Minoru's face would end up close to her own.

"And don't you forget it..." She said. A few seconds went by and she began to blush. "Q-Quit staring at me, ya damn lolicon!" Akira shouted as she pushed him away.

"A-Akira-sama?" Minoru asked.

"S-Shut up and end this!" Akira shouted.

*Music Tone*

"Well, I guess that's all the time we have for today! I'll see you all again later! Bye-nii~!" Akira chimed.

"..."

"The hell is your deal?"

"What do you mean?"

"I put you on a leash and you stare at me like... like that? Not just a lolicon, you're a pervert too?"

"What? N-No! I just..."

*End*

After Section

Whew, that turned out longer than I intended. Like I was saying before, the characters kept talking about different things and led to way more than I expected. So, I have a question for you guys. It's an idea I've been kicking around for a while.

What do you guys think about me as an actual author? Like, do you think I could write a legitimate book? Like, one I could send to a publisher and sell? I've had a world I've been building for a long time and characters I've been developing on the side. And now I have a plot for it. The main thing now would be the write it.

What do you guys think? Would it be something you think I could do?

In any case, thanks for reading! Can't wait to see you guys in the next chapter!
