(Eshiko Sugata's Opening Monologue)
Hello again, everyone. Sugata Eshiko at your service.
In today's chapter, Tomoko will be turning herself into a boy to infiltrate the male bath area. Therefore, Tomoko's female disguise will be NONE other than her original male-counterpart from the original manga: Tomoki.
And...that's it! Heh, THAT was short.
(End of Opening Monologue)
It was another beautiful, peaceful morning; Tomoko sat by his table, looking out her screen door and smiling.
"Here you go, Master." Icarus brought a cup of green tea for his master.
"Oh, thank you."
As Tomoko took her cup, Icarus knelt down on the opposite side of the table, looking at his master, when...
"Fine, I'll go! But DO NOT think you've seen the last of me! And DON'T think you can continue to go around FOOLING your master!"
"How long CAN I fool Master?" thought Icarus. "And what does she think of me? When will she realize the truth? And...come to think of it, what is she thinking about right now?"
*CHIRP* *CHIRP* *CHIRP*
Tomoko closed her eyes as she listened to the sound of birds chirping outside. "Ah...you know what? I would REALLY like to enter a man's bathing area!"
"Oh, really?" asked Makoto later the day; he was currently walking home from school with Sora, Tomoko, and Icarus.
"Yeah, Tomo-chan said it would be fun to go somewhere like that for once," said Sora.
"Yeah, I mean we've NEVER been to an actual bathhouse. So, I thought it would be fun," said Tomoko.
"'Fun', eh? You mean 'fun' to spy on all da boys?" asked Makoto suspiciously.
"Wha…?! N-N-No way! Of course not! If I tried that, I'd be dead!" But just then, Tomoko turned into a chibitized devil. "Yeah right! That's why I'm gonna be using my special..."
She reached into her backpack for her—
"Huh?" Her devil form quickly disappeared as she found nothing inside her backpack. "Where'd they—"
"Looking for THESE?" Sora suddenly held up a bag containing all of Icarus' cards that Tomoko thought were stashed in her backpack.
"Sorry, homie," said the yakuza gangsta, "but Mitsuki-san and I are actually planning on going to a bath house tomorrow...and unfortunately, YOU ain't invited..."
"You know we weren't born yesterday, right?" taunted Sora. "Later, Tomo-chan." He and Makoto walked off, leaving the poor, perverted girl with crushed dreams as blue devastation lines crossed her—
"NO! I'm NOT giving up THAT easily!"
Later that evening, Tomoko and her Angeloid companion confronted Sugata on the subject.
"No thanks," the glasses-wearing girl protested as she worked on her hang-glider.
"But Senpai…"
"I will NOT associated with your heinous crime."
"...N-Not even for the New World?"
"Wait! WHAT?" Immediately, Sugata stopped and turned to Tomoko.
"That's right! I mean, think about it: boys and girls can bathe with each other for the first ten years of their lives. But once they come of age, they can no longer even LOOK at the other's birthday suits! And you know what THAT means, right? It means that it could be a woman's fantasy to enter a men's bath...JUST TO SEE WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE! And possibly discover the New World you've always gone on about EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN DAY!"
Shocked and intrigued, Sugata reached into her pocket to pull out...
"Icarus' card!" exclaimed Tomoko.
"That's right! Icarus gave me one to use. BEHOLD!"
*FLASH* *POP* *POP* *POP* *POP* *POP* *POP* *POP* *POP*
"A quantum converter! It's not quite stabile, but functions well enough to transform anything into anything else."
"'Anything'?"
"'Anything'. But like I said, it's still unstable," Sugata said as he gave the converter to Icarus. "So, when you become something else, don't do ANYTHING to give yourself away, or you're cover will be blown. Understand?" She held her hand out to Tomoko for good luck.
"...Yes. Thank you, Senpai." And so, the perverted girl reluctantly shook the hand. But deep down in her mind, a little devil inheriting Tomoko's body whispered, "Excellent...AH HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HAH!"
"Quantum conversion operating at 100%. Metamorphisis stability all green. Present situation is favorable." Icarus observed the quantum converter from outside the walls of the men's bath.
Inside the bath house, multiple young men bathed in piece, while others looked through some peep holes to spy on the women.
*SLIDE*
Sora and Makoto both stepped into the bath, both wearing towels around their waists.
"Man, I haven't been to a bath house in a LONG time," sighed Sora.
"Me neitha, Mitsuki-san," said the yakuza gangsta.
As they both sat on the stools to wash their bodies, another teenage boy entered the bath; he had black hair with a stray strand and brown eyes. The boy sat down in between Sora and Makoto. "Hi there, you two," the boy said to his bathing neighbors.
"Huh? Oh, hi! You must be new here. I'm Mitsuki Sora."
"And I'm Satsukitane Makoto."
"Nice to meet you," said the boy. "I'm Tomok...err, uh...T-Tomoki! And YES. I AM new here. I just transferred."
"Oh, then welcome to Sorami," said Sora. "Oh, that reminds me, you should watch your ass!"
"'My ASS'!"
"Yeah," explained the yakuza gangsta. "There be dis girl who goes to our school and has a knack for causin' a HELL ova lotta trouble, especially when it comesta abs and booties."
"Her name is Sakurai Tomoko," said Sora while washing his body with a bar of soap, "and she's a REAL pervert!"
"She constantly fantasizes 'bout naked boys..."
"...peeps on boys from time-to-time..."
"...desires to SMACK them in the ass..."
"...and NEARLY caused Sorami's destruction when she broke inta my family sacred bathing area ta bathe with me..."
"You got that, Tomoki?" Sora asked. But then he noticed that Tomoki was drooling at the sight of his manly chest.
*BEEP* *BEEP*
"Master, your pulse is becoming erratic," said Icarus. "Be careful."
"Hey! If you wanted to stare, all you had to do was ask!" Sora said to the blushing Tomoki.
"Huh? Oh, sorry." Nervously looking away, Tomoki got up to—
*SLIP*
"WHOOPS!" The bar of soap flew out of Sora's hand and right in front of the unaware black-haired boy. "Tomoki! Watch out! There's a bar of soap right by yer—"
*SLIP*
But it was too late! Tomoko slipped on the bar, landing face first RIGHT in between Sora's legs.
"AAHHH! TOMOKI!"
"EEK! SORRY!" Tomoki quickly shot up, now having some blood drooling down his nose, which he quickly covered up.
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*
"*GASP* Master, there appears to be an abnormality in part of the metamorphosis of your body. Please be careful!" warned Icarus.
"Hey, you bleedin'?" asked Makoto in concern.
"'Bleeding'? Oh, yeah! Must've broke my nose when I fell, but I'm—"
*TRIP*
Tomoki tripped in-between a guy's pecs.
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*
"Master, please stop! You're cover will be blown!"
"AH! SORRY!" Tomoki screamed as he jumped back and nervously backed away. "I SWEAR I didn't look where I was—"
*TRIP* *SPLASH*
Tomoki now tripped into the tub, where a bunch of men sat.
"The hell's WRONG with him?" asked Sora in concern.
"Wow! He's really clumsy, ain't he, homie," giggled Makoto.
*SPLASH*
"SORRY, EVERYONE!" the new kid panicked. "I MUST BE REALLY CLUMSY!"
*BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP* *BEEP*
The converter was now beeping out of control.
"Master! You must evacuate! Now!"
Tomoko quickly jumped out of the pool in embarrassment. "I'LL JUST BE LEAVING NOW! SO, SEE YA!"
"Huh? What's THIS?" Just then, Sora noticed something that looked like an earpiece communicator. He picked it up and put it to his ear. "Hello?"
"Master! Get out of there! Master?! Master! Do you copy?!"
"Icarus-kun? Master? Wait a sec..."
Tomoki embarrassingly rushed for the—
"TOMO-CHAN!" Sora screamed in shock.
*BOOM*
"Oh, the converter malfunctioned..."
*POOF*
Pink smoke consumed the entire indoor bathroom. When it died down, all that could be seen by every male bather...was a chibitized Tomoko...completely naked...with wings blocking her waist and boobs. Nervous, Tomoko looked around at EVERYONE who stared at her in confusion.
"Shit! My cover's blown!" thought the female pervert as she tiptoed to the door. "Better get the hell outta here before—"
*GRAB*
Suddenly, someone furiously grabbed Tomoko scalp and turned her head back to him; all Tomoko could see was Sora, hiding his eyes beneath his hair, and his waist with his free hand. "Uh, Sora," said Sora nervously, "you dropped your—"
"Why ya freaking out?" asked Sora in a cold, murderous tone as a dark-purple aura consumed his body. "I understand, you're a maturing young woman, and seeing boys naked is the best way to grow up...so I thought that since you're my best and ONLY friend I've ever had, I'd let you take a GOOD LONG look at me and EVERY part that turns you on...RIGHT...BEFORE...YOU...DIE!"
*CHOP*
Outside the bath house, Sugata was riding on her bike, when she noticed a huge light shine down onto the bath house. A few seconds later, Tomoko's naked spirits ascended to the heavens from the bath house. "*SIGH* I'm VERY disappointed in you, Tomoko."
Later that evening, Sora and Makoto sat in the tub; they were the ONLY two remaining after the incident earlier today.
"Man, this is nice," sighed Sora.
"True THAT, yo," said the Yakuza punk. "We the ONLY ones here, homie. Must be our lucky day!"
"I'm just glad the water still works, even after—"
*SLIDE*
Icarus stepped into the bathroom, wearing nothing but a towel.
"Hey, Icarus-kun! Over here!" Sora called out. "Come on in! The water's great!"
Icarus removed his towel stepped into the tub to join his friends.
"Yo, Icarus, I just noticed yo wings on yer back," said Makoto.
"Oh, yeah," said Sora. "I keep seeing you as a normal guy, and I keep forgetting you're an Angeloid. I'm sorry."
"...I'm glad you told me," Icarus responded, "that you see me as a normal guy. I want to be...more human...for Master's sake."
Smiling at what he heard, Sora scooched over until he was sitting right next to Icarus. "Don't FORCE yourself into becoming human," Sora said as he happily put his arm around Icarus' back. "Just be yourself."
Later, the three boys had just finished bathing and got dressed; Sora and Makoto just left, but Icarus walked into the female bathing area, where his master was in her bath towel, scrubbing the floors as punishment for her actions. "I NEED to tell master the truth...no matter what..." Icarus approached her master.
"Oh, hey, Icarus," Tomoko said with a bright smile. "How was your—"
"Master, I need to tell you something," Icarus interrupted. "The truth is...I...I...*SNIFF*" Icarus couldn't take it anymore and tears began rolling down his eyes once again.
Noticing this, Tomoko smiled. "Wow! Icarus really IS becoming more human; he's trying to admit something, but he doesn't even know how," Tomoko thought. "Forget about it," she said to her servant. "You don't HAVE to tell me right now; just wait till the time is right, okay?"
"*SNIFF* A-As you wish, M-Master," the Angeloid sobbed.
"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH..."
Sugata collapsed onto the ground by her tent, clutching her ailing ass.
"So, Eshi-chan," Makoto said as she sat on the back on Sugata's neck, pointing a gun to the glasses-wearing girl's face...and still having a malicious smile, "WHO disguised herself as a boy?"
"...Tomoko..."
"WHO infiltrated da men's bathing area?"
"...Tomoko..."
"WHO harassed every single goddamn bath attenda?"
"...Tomoko..."
"WHO tricked you into being 'er partner-in-crime?"
"...Tomoko..."
"WHO lied about saying it was for yo 'New World'?"
"...Tomoko..."
"WHO caused me ta punish you in de ass?"
"...Tomoko..."
"And WHO are we neva gonna to trust to again?"
"...Tomoko..."
