(Eshiko Sugata's Opening Monologue)

Hello again, everyone. Sugata Eshiko at your service.

In Greek mythology, Icarus was the son of the craftsman, Daedalus who crafted wings out of wax for his son that allowed him to fly. But one day, Icarus flew too close to the sun. Because of this, his wings melted and he fell to his death, which sparked the idiom, "Don't fly too close to the sun."

I'll bring up more Greek mythology if necessary.

"Tomoko, I am sorry for getting you involved in this, but there is a reason why I sent you the Angeloid, and now…another will be coming…"


Tomoko laid in her futon with Icarus silently watching over her master.


Outside, on the top of a tree, a mysterious figure looked over the Sakurai household, grinning sinisterly.


(The Next Day)

It was morning in Sorami, and today, Tomoko, Icarus, Sora, Makoto, and Sugata were going Christmas shopping.

"Hey, where's Icarus?" asked the perverted girl suddenly.


Icarus looked at a shaking Japanese bobble-head on a table. He took the bobble-head and grabbed the head…

*BOING*

…breaking it.

"Hey! You can't do that, sir!" yelled the owner.

"ICARUS!" Tomoko caught up to her Angeloid and forced him to bow. "I'm so sorry, sir. It's on me." She took out some money to give it to the owner.


"I'm sorry, Master," Icarus said in remorse a few seconds later. But Tomoko continued to walk away, leaving him behind. "I need to act more human…but HOW?"

"Come on, sweetheart. Lying is human."

"Oh, I KNEW you were lying to me."

"…'Lying is…human'…" Icarus thought as he overheard the couple.


Icarus caught up with his human companions. "Sora-san…"

"Huh? What's up, Icarus-kun?"

"…I…hate you," Icarus said, turning the brown-haired boy into a shocked, chibitized, devastated state. "I think your ugly."

*BANG*

A gray pan fell on Sora's head.

"Even though you appear to be nice, you are ACTUALLY completely violent."

*BANG*

"And you look TOO thin."

*BANG*

"And THAT'S why I hate you." Icarus then turned to Sugata. "There is no such thing as a New World." And then to Makoto. "And Prez…"

"Sup?"

"You're…very nice."

"Oh, really? Thanks, homie!"

And finally, Icarus turned to Tomoko and said, "I don't want to be with you anymore."

Tomoko immediately chibitized in grey devastation as well.


*GULP* *GULP* *GULP* *GULP*

*MUNCH* *MUNCH* *MUNCH*

"COME ON! I WANTED BOOZE! NOT SODA!" Poor Tomoko drowned her sorrows away with soda and yakitori.

"UUUUUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…" Sora merely cried waterfalls of tears as he held his cup.

"Sorry, you two," said Sugata. "You're not old enough to drink that."

"He called me ugly…" cried Sora. "I HATE YOU, ICARUS! *GULP* *GULP* *GULP* *GULP* *GULP*"

"Come on, y'all. It wasn't THAT mean," said the purple-dreadlocked yakuza gangsta.

"I CANNOT BELIEVE HE SAID THAT?!" Tomoko yelled as she modernized. "I'LL DO WHATEVER I CAN TO FORGET ABOUT WHAT HE SAID!"

"Icarus was lying," explained Sugata. "From what I could tell, he was trying to be more human, and believed lying was a way to do so."

"'Lying'!" thought Sora. "So THAT means…"


"…I…hate you."


"…he LIKES me…"


"Even though you appear to be nice, you are ACTUALLY completely violent."


"…he thinks I'm NICE…and NOT the least bit violent…"


"And you look TOO thin."


"…and he thinks I'm FAT…*GULP* *GULP* *GULP* *GULP*"

"So, Icarus DOES want to be with me!" Tomoko quickly cheered up.


"Your dumplings taste like shit."

"You are way too hairy."

"Fuck your hideous baby."


Icarus continued walking along, telling lies to everyone he met. "So, now I'm becoming more human…"

"Icarus!" Tomoko finally caught up to her Angeloid, only to be surrounded by a ton of angry people who were lied to by Icarus.

"You know him?" asked one of the people.

"Yes, he's my servant, unfortunat—"

*BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM* *BAM*


Later that night, Icarus sat by his table watching TV along with Icarus.

"Master, I'm sorry about earlier today," said Icarus.

"It's cool, I'm kinda used to getting beat up," said Tomoko. "But you need to know that lying will NOT make you more human. Okay?"

"Okay. Can I ask you something?"

"What?"

"What…do you think of me, Master?"

"Back then, I was a real adventuring kind of girl, kinda like Sugata-senpai. One day, I took a bunch of my classmates to show them something that I found in the mountains, but one of them got hurt, so nobody wanted to hang out with me again. Before I knew it, I was all alone. So being with you…kinda makes me feel—MRPH!"

All of a sudden, Icarus kissed his lips, surprising the little girl.

"I want to be with you, Master," the Angeloid said as he backed away, "now and—"

*SLAP*


After being slapped in the face by his embarrassed master, Icarus was now flying through the woods, caressing his slapped cheek. "Did I…"

"…Hello, Alpha…"

Icarus suddenly halted at the sinister voice. Looking up, he saw a mysterious boy grinning out at him.

"You have no idea how long I've been looking for you, Alpha…"
