In a dark room, illuminated by a screen that played recordings of the daughter of the oni chiefs. A group of students from Tomobiki High School were present, but; They were not just any students, they called themselves the faithful followers of Lum.
They were made up of Megane the crazy, Perm the curly normal, Kakugari the evil and Chibi the little dragged. They closed the photography club since there were priorities, their divinity Lum was not there to bless them with his grace.
They stopped the projection, turned off the device, removed the fabric and turned on the lights.
"We must bring back the beautiful Lum!" decreed the deranged leader with a photo of his space girl in hand.
As faithful friends and members of the club they supported him. The four-eyed man pointed out a human figure, it was our poor little Ataru who had his clothes torn, he was covered in dust with his hair disheveled. Those scoundrels committed the crime of kidnapping him yesterday while he was sleeping.
"Ataru, we need you to help us bring Lum back" the crazy glasses guy asked, getting closer to our protagonist's face.
"I refuse, if Lum comes back she will make my life impossible!" He writhed, trying to free himself without success.
"Whatever you want" he adjusted his glasses, causing them to shine from the light "meet the member of the torture club."
A muscular man entered through the door, he was wearing the suit that the members of the happy but strange torture club should wear, the young man immobilized by the handcuffs, immediately became upset, that student who looked more like a man than a teenager took out his briefcase of equipment. torture.
Just as the torturer was going to start hurting him, someone threw open the door.
"Ataru!" Shinobu shouted worriedly. Seeing the deplorable state her beloved was in, she hurried inside.
However, she was held by the arm by the member who wanted to torture Ataru, no matter how much she tried to get away, she was left hanging.
Those two were a problem for Megane's plan to be carried out, she had to think of something immediately.
"Let go of me, let go of me, let go of me, let me go!" he moved desperately.
"Ataru, the only thing we ask of you is that you collaborate so that Lum comes to earth" Megane said with a calm voice.
"Don't do it, Ataru! If Lum comes back she won't leave you alone!" Shinobu shouted, the torturous change of having her held by the arm now had her hugged from behind although she still couldn't touch the floor.
"You heard it, Megane! Leave us alone!" Ataru exclaimed, frowning.
"Ataru, we can help you get all the girls in the class to go out with you" the club leader murmured in his ear.
"Are you serious?!" Ataru asked and saliva came out of his mouth.
"Ataru!" Shinobu caught his attention, her face did not look happy at all.
Hearing his name coming from his cuchurrumin, he decided to hold back.
"No, Megane" Ataru said seriously.
"Our offer is not over, we will lend you the notebooks for any subject" Megane offered this time out loud.
"Alright!" Ataru agreed enthusiastically.
"Ataru..." Shinobu murmured, looking at him disapprovingly.
"Don't worry, Shinobu, it's for the greater good" Ataru said with his silly smile while Megane kissed his hand.
The clock tower was filled with laughter, the young Miyake became quite angry, unleashing her fury she was able to easily throw the boy who was holding her. The members of Lum's fan club decided to walk away, she approached Ataru ready to show him her anger.
"You are a shameless man!" Shinobu growled, approaching the chained young man.
After taking out his anger, he accelerated his pace towards his house. If that idiot doesn't listen to her, it wasn't her problem that he would get into trouble. He was moving faster towards his house, he slowed down and took a look at his hands.
(I didn't think he was that strong) Shinobu thought confused.
"Good morning, girl," the monk greeted her, scaring Shinobu who hit him on the head.
"Stop appearing that way! " she yelled annoyed.
"I didn't want to scare you, I just wanted to formally introduce myself to you, girl," the old man said.
"I don't want to, I don't want to hear it, let me go home," Shinobu said, covering her ears and starting to run.
Shinobu was running with all her energy, the monk was chasing her while trying to talk to her although the young woman ignored him. She lost sight of him, rushed into her house, locked the door and sat exhausted on the floor.
I was catching my breath after that long flight.
"I need you to listen to me, young lady" appeared out of nowhere in front of the Miyake girl's face.
She was panting so hard that she couldn't scream out of fear. After recovering, he stood up.
"...What do you want to tell me?" she asked, giving up.
"First I want to introduce myself, my name is Sakurambo, but you can call me Cherry" he made himself known "I am a monk who was able to detect that this young man has a gift for attracting rarities due to his bad luck.'
Shinobu looked interested.
"Ataru... Is he so unlucky?" Shinobu sputtered as a drop of sweat fell.
"I want to help them, so that they can live normally" the monk informed him.
"You could do it?" Shinobu asked as her gaze lit up.
"Of course, but I need you both to agree," Cherry told him and handed him her card.
The girl put it in her pocket, the monk advanced to the kitchen.
"Wait! What are you doing, Cherry?!" Shinobu asked going to the kitchen.
"I'm going to make myself something to eat," the monk told him.
"Next, we have to go with Ataru" she took him by the arm.
Somebody knocked the door. Mrs. Moroboshi opened it.
"Hello, Shinobu" he greeted her smiling.
"Hello, Mrs. Moroboshi" he handed her a basket with groceries.
He had to win over his future mother-in-law.
"Good morning, ma'am," the bald man bowed.
"He's coming with me, Mrs. Moroboshi, he can help Ataru stop suffering from his bad luck," Shinobu said happily.
"Seriously, let's hope we can," said Mrs. Moroboshi.
They went up the steps, when he pushed the door to his room, he knew that he had not returned yet. She sighed irritably but had to concentrate. Sitting in front of the old man, they were chatting about Ataru.
A crash was heard on the roof.
There was a bustle in the room, turning on the television, a news program was reporting the disaster that was occurring on planet Earth due to oil. In one part, the man reading the news became enraged that this was happening because the shameless son of a The Moroboshi did not pay the bill for the space taxi. They turned off the television, his father rubbed his hundred with his fingertips.
"Dad-"
"DON'T CALL ME, DAD!" Mr. Moroboshi shouted at him.
"DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT PROBLEM YOU HAVE GOT US IN?!" He raised his voice nervously.
"Excuse me, what is happening?" Shinobu asked as she went down the stairs. She didn't speak first so as not to interrupt them, although she still didn't understand anything because so many were talking at the same time.
"Shinobu, what happened e-"
"ATARU, WAS TO BLAME!" Lum's fan club and the torture club member shouted in unison.
"Ataru, he called a space taxi trying to get Lum back, we helped him and ended up dragged away!" Megane said angrily.
"That's how it is!" the others accompanied him.
"Ah, this child" Mrs. Moroboshi lamented "excuse me, he's lucky to have friends and he gets them into trouble."
"Really, Ataru?" Shinobu asked with a smile and her eyes closed with a vein throbbing in her head.
Shinobu remained silent and sat in the living room with the others.
The ramen boy felt hurt, his own parents did not want to hear his version, taking the blame for those slimies and remaining the definitive cause. Not even his girlfriend will take his side, since she warned him and he ignored it.
Before they could say anything, a group of angry people could be heard demanding that they leave. Fearing that they would be lynched, they joined together to block the door. The mother of the family asked her husband to do something, but he said that they were finished and would die because of her son's stupidity.
They pushed the door so hard that they flew away, a brilliant shine blinding them. A silhouette could be seen, when the flash ended, the oni with aqua green hair had a smile from ear to ear.
"Hello, Darling~!" the alien greeted him.
"LUM!" shouted his friendly fans.
"Lum!" Shinobu shouted, seeing her with anger.
"Oh no; Lum!" Ataru exclaimed in a cold sweat.
"It's his destiny," Cherry said before eating a bag of chips in Ataru's room.
She threw herself at her dearest husband, giving him a hug along with her discharges as a small token of her love. Sitting in the living room, Lum sat next to her darling.
"You see, Lum has offered to pay the fare for the space taxi with one condition" the neighbor informed them and let the alien continue.
"I want to live in this house with my darling," the ogre told them, smiling, causing Ataru to hit his face on the table.
"Never, not to mention, I refuse!" He crossed his arms, closing his eyes.
"Why not? We are a newly married couple, it is natural that we live together ~" she said sweetly while leaning on her husband's back.
"I have said no! No means no!" he rejected her, refusing to fulfill the deal.
Lum looked at him sadly, but then angrily, she stood up suddenly.
"Very well, however you like it!" he shouted trembling.
"Lum, wait can-"
"SHUT YOUR MOUTH!" gave the neighbor an electric shock causing him to fall to the ground.
"Keep collecting the oil, don't leave a single drop!" Lum ordered, pointing at the alien with his index finger.
"We're almost finished," the taxi driver laughed, extracting the oil from the house.
He fixed his gaze again on his partner.
"Ataru, you don't realize! I'm the only one who can save you!" she shouted, trying to get her husband to change his mind.
"I don't want to, go away," he responded indifferently while still having his arms crossed and still facing away.
His eyes watered at such an insensitive response. He fell to his knees.
"Oh, and I made this trip as quickly as possible just to help you! Waaaaaaaa!" he rubbed his eyes.
"Ataru, how dare you make a girl cry!" Megane scolded him.
The wild animals beat each other, the young woman remained without making a movement, it was her punishment.
(If you had listened to me you wouldn't be in trouble, you deserve it, Ataru) Shinobu thought seriously.
The blows did not stop, they were taking a long time to beat him, Shinobu began to break out in a cold sweat.
(He'll be fine, he can hold on, he deserves it...) Shinobu thought nervously.
Lum couldn't stop whining, those bastards kept hitting him and Ataru remained silent.
(Stop! Stop it! Stop it! ) Shinobu thought, lifting the table.
"Alright!" Ataru shouted, the blows stopped.
Crawling full of bruises, bumps and pinches, he said: — You can stay.
"Oh really?! You are asking me that you want me to live with you!" Lum exclaimed excitedly.
He bowed with what little strength he had left and said: — Please pay the bill for me.
"Darling!",He hugged him, giving him electric current.
(No...) Shinobu thought pale.
Lum agreed to pay the debt, the taxi driver told her to return the oil as soon as possible, the oni continued hugging her husband who was weak.
Shinobu threw the table on Lum's fan club and the torturer. He turned around without even looking at Ataru who couldn't move.
On the morning of a new day, on the news the same man gave them warnings since the oil was returned like a rain that lasted three days, smoking was prohibited. The man on the television pointed across the screen at an offender who was punished by another citizen and an anthropomorphic fish. Our protagonist followed his classmate Shinobu, they wore the uniform, it could be the end of the world but they had to go study.
"Shinobu" Ataru called her with a smile, while the oni were on his back. Papers with hateful messages were stuck to his umbrella.
"Let me explain to you" he moved his umbrella so as not to get wet but the ogre moved it so that they were both dry.
The girl turned her back on him and answered: — I don't want to listen to you, Ataru.
He advanced along the path, Ataru bowed his head, finished, the voices of Lum's dragoons were heard, she looked at them while laughing, happy to be with her husband.
