Chapter 17
Hinata's House
A day had passed since the messy elections. Ryuko was recovering in her brother's house while treated by Mikan and Hinata (via his talents) but looked apathetic or sad. It was hard to tell, but for some reason she was just staring at Senketsu who was hanging on the wall after Sukuyo washed him. The kamui was also just staring at her in silence until Hinata realized he wasn't active.
"Looks he's been starved to death." Fenrir pointed out. "I don't like anybody, but I would prefer not to look at a zombie in a coma." he added as he looked at Senketsu's form.
"That doesn't make any sense." Hinata told his uniform.
"You don't make sense." Fenrir shot back.
Hinata sighed, "Hey Ryuko, how often do you feed Senketsu?" he asked.
"Once in a while." Ryuko answered without much emotion.
"He's not in pain is he?" Hinata asked.
"I don't know." Ryuko answered in the same tone.
Fenrir rolled his eyes, "Your sister is emo now." he said.
"Shut up, she's just stressed. She literally turned into that... thing." Hinata said, trying to gain some sympathy.
Sympathy was not in Fenrir's dictionary, "Don't tell me to shut up. I don't care what happened. It happened and it's over." he said.
Hinata sighed as he decided to ignore Fenrir for the day, "Ryuko, you've been in bed for a while. You want me to cook you something?" he asked.
"Something." Ryuko replied.
"Okay, I'll make something very special for my little sister." Hinata said cheerfully.
At the same time, he was goading Ryuko to get a reaction. He expected the girl to argue that she was the older sister again. Ryuko didn't look like she registered what Hinata had said.
"Little sister?" Hinata asked.
Once again, Ryuko didn't even look the slightest bit annoyed. She just turned to Hinata with a blank expression.
"Don't make my food too spicy." Ryuko said.
Hinata bent down and kissed Ryuko on the forehead, "Okay, just call me if you need something." he said.
Ryuko nodded as Hinata left her alone in the room to rest.
In the kitchen
Hinata got to work on cooking while trying to think about a way to help Ryuko heal from the trauma. As got to work, he could hear someone knocking at the door. As he turned off the stove, he opened the door and was quickly met by Mako who looked frantic.
"How is Ryuko?" Mako asked.
Hinata sighed, "A bit empty. She's just been staring at Senketsu and hardly has anything to say." he answered.
"And she's emo." Fenrir added, much to his wearer's annoyance.
"Really? But she loves Senketsu. Senketsu is her friend even if he's just clothing." Mako said.
"I wish I was friends with my clothes." Hinata said dryly.
"Go *bleep* yourself." Fenrir told him.
"Can I talk to her?" Mako asked.
Hinata moved to the side, "Sure, maybe you can help bring some life into her." he said.
Mako nodded, "I have to use my friendship in order to empower Ryuko again." she said with determination before running into a random room. She then came back looking confused, "Hey Hajime, where is Ryuko?" she asked, not knowing the layout of the house.
Hinata pointed at the right door to the right room. Mako flashed a grin as she thanked him. Leaving Hinata to finish cooking up a good lunch for Ryuko. He'll have to make an extra plate for Mako.
Soon enough, Hinata would realize that he would have to cook more food and not just for himself. Because he heard a knock at the door and found Chiaki standing their. Like Mako, she was also concerned but didn't know if she should approach Ryuko.
"She's just been like that all morning?" Chiaki asked.
Hinata sighed, "Yeah, honestly it bothers me. I know Ryuko isn't sad or anything, but it feels empty. Like she's broken." he answered. "I mean, she literally met her father's killer and she was openly taunting her about it." he said.
"But you said you knew that girl, right?" Chiaki asked.
Hinata let out a sigh, "Yes, I can barely remember the details but right before the experiment done to me. My house was on fire and my parents were killed." he said, shocking Chiaki. "I later learned they were my adoptive parents. Even so, they loved me and I was devastated to realize what happened when I returned to reality." he continues to explain.
Chiaki and the other lost many family members from Junko Enoshima's Tragedy. The whole world was about to collapse and many people were killed before it was calmed down. Even now, there's a lot of issues around the world where governments are struggling with control. Even with how dirty and messy Honno city is, this place is practically a safe haven for now.
"Still, I don't know much about Nui. Only she isn't human as you already know." Hinata told her. "Even then, I don't think Nui has a sense of morality or human feelings except for sadism. I can somewhat remember how much she supported Junko's plans." he added.
"Satsuki recognized her though." Chiaki said, catching her boyfriend's attention. "She's apparently a high ranking member of REVOCS, Satsuki's mother's company." she said.
"I already know some shady stuff is going on with her mom. Still, even with all this help from Satsuki. I'm starting to lose faith." Hinata said.
"Well, maybe Satsuki doesn't have control over some things related to her mother." Chiaki said.
"Even if that's true, that doesn't help things on our part." Hinata said, feeling less assured current events.
Hinata wasn't sure if Satsuki could still be trusted. Whether that be that deep down she's a control freak or she is starting to lose control of things coming from outside of her domain. This leaves the boy feeling conflicted and a bit lost. Ryuko's rebellion was one thing and deep down, he wasn't really sure if Satsuki had anything to do with his father's death at first. Now he's wondering if Satsuki knew anything about Isshin Matoi at all or if he's just some random scientist that got involved with the kamui and scissor blades.
"But it's not like I have a whole lot of other choices. I doubt Satsuki wants me to run around and do as I want like Ryuko." Hinata said.
"She's likely keeping an eye on all of us." Chiaki said, feeling some sense of irony.
"Yeah, I know that much. Let's forget about that for now." Hinata said as he finished cooking the extra batch of food. "I'll leave you a plate here. I'll go take some food to Ryuko and Mako." he said.
Chiaki nodded as she took a seat at the table. As Hinata left, she wondered if she should tell Hinata the truth about her working with Satsuki. Doing that, Chiaki would essentially admit to being a spy. Even if the gamer girl could talk things out with her boyfriend, Ryuko would be furious. Despite the seemingly good relationship she has with the tomboy, Ryuko would sooner treat Chiaki as a villain than understand her motives.
'Real life relationships are super hard.' Chiaki thought as she started eating. 'This food is good, but it doesn't reduce the stress.' she thought.
Later that day, Honnoji Academy
Chihiro Fujisaki was currently going over some programs to assist with the next step in Satsuki's plan. If having control of one city and school wasn't enough, Satsuki had organized three divisions comprised students with a special uniform. Satsuki planned for her armies to invade four other large schools and essentially take control of Japan in a single swoop. Now the young crossdresser was working with Inumuta to guarantee no more attempts at hacking into their systems.
It was bad enough that Hinata secretly broke in using his own programming talent. Even worse is the fact that Hinata was hiding his tracks, meaning the student council is still unaware of who is directly responsible for the change in scheduled and adding events such as Ibuki's half time show for Ryuko.
Chihiro's thoughts were interrupted by the usual banter of the Four Divas.
"You better not try and commit seppuku again, Gamagori. Trying to clean up the mess is going to suck balls." Jakuzure said.
"I will do no such thing. I will guarantee success and avoid any more failures." Gamagori said.
"Fujisaki." Satsuki called out.
"Yes ma'am?" Chihiro asked.
"I need you to connect me with Iori. Make sure to keep the connection secured." Satsuki ordered.
"Yes ma'am." Chihiro answered. 'I guess Lady Satsuki must be feeling very cautious. With yesterday's mess and actually being surprised, Lady Satsuki doesn't want to take any risks.' he thought as he connected the screen to Iori's location.
"Iori, how are the preparations?" Satsuki asked.
"The anti-uniform weapons are almost finished being distributed. All three divisions will be prepared by the end of this morning." Iori said. "We should be more than prepared for the opposition upon our arrival." he added.
"As expected, keep me updated. The Four Divas should be prepared to leave soon." Satsuki said.
"As you wish, Lady Satsuki." Iori said before cutting his connection.
'Anti-Life Fibers? Other schools have them too?' Chihiro mentally asked.
"Fujisaki, when this meeting is over. You will be assisting Inumuta in his campaign. Everyone will be participating." Satsuki said.
"Of course ma'am." Fujisaki said obediently.
Deep down, Satsuki had already planned ahead and even if things don't go her way. It looked like she was going to use her ample resources to combat an unsuspecting threats to her plans.
'Thinking about it, Matoi is absent and Hinata has also called in sick.' Satsuki thought suspiciously, unaware that they are going to face their own difficulties.
That afternoon
Ryuko was still quite apathetic and Hinata wasn't sure what he needed to do. He sat in the living room with Ryuko on the couch, but the girl looked like there was nothing exciting in life anymore.
"Ryuko, you're scaring me." Hinata said bluntly.
"Am I? Whoops." Ryuko said, still soundiing emotionless.
"Can I kick her ass?" Fenrir asked.
"No!" Hinata argued.
"Too bad! I hate emo people!" Fenrir yelled as he threw himself towards Ryuko.
Hinata quickly fought back against his kamui who tried to bite down on Ryuko. Ryuko continued to sit while ignoring the threat that is Fenrir. When all of a sudden, they heard loud knocks at the door.
"That must be Mako." Hinata said.
"I'll kick her ass next! Her voice hurts my ears!" Fenrir growled.
"You don't have ears or a voice box. How are you alive?" Hinata asked.
"None of your damn business!" Fenrir argued as he kept trying to lunge himself into random directions.
That's when the door was kicked down by some Honnoji Academy student with a regular uniform. The kid looked ordinary from wavy hair that covered one eye to wearing a regular pair of glasses. Except there was this odd feeling Hinata had about him and it wasn't going to be the weird energy he had.
"Where is Ryuko Matoi? Honnoji Academy can no longer abide by the tyranny of the Kiriyuin family anymore!" the boy said.
"Who's this dumbass?" Fenrir asked.
"I'm glad you asked! I am Shinijiro Nagita!" Nagita said as if he heard Fenrir. "I used to run the school newspaper before I was exiled for printing this paper!" he said as he threw a newspaper at Hinata.
Hinata caught it and skimmed through it. Nagita crossed his arms and looked satisfied, thinking he had won Hinata over. Only to suddenly have the newspaper thrown at his head. Funny enough, the amount of force applied by Hinata had caused Nagita to fly out the door.
"Your grammar is atrocious, your comic is boring and there's too much usage of the word "very" in your writing." Hinata said, criticizing Nagita's work.
That's when Mako came in, "Hey Hajime, I brought this weird guy from school but I forgot where he is." she said.
Nagita quickly returned, "You must read this more closely! Look at the ruth!" he said as he presented the newspaper again.
"Oh, there he is." Mako said, noticing Nagita's appearance.
Hinata sighed as he took the newspaper again. This time, Ryuko looked over the newspaper as well but didn't look remotely emotional. That's when Hinata noticed something that may be a cause for concern. It looks like Nagita uncovered Satsuki's plans for conquest against three other schools in Japan.
It was crazy and surprising, but it doesn't sound like something Satsuki would be too quiet about. At least that's what Hinata assumes as a general idea. At some point, her movements would be noticeable regardless of the amount of planning. It does sound like a plausible thing that the student council president would do and wouldn't need to explain herself.
"Okay, Satsuki is the new Oda Nobunaga." Hinata said.
"Okay? Okay!? Do you not realize what is wrong here!?" Nagita frantically asked. "Satsuki has gone too far now! She is drafting anyone and everyone capable of throwing a punch to fight in some war to take over Japan! This needs to stop!" he exclaimed.
"I'm not a fan of Satsuki's decisions, but what do you want to do about it. Didn't you just say you got kicked out?" Hinata asked.
"That I did, they censored my paper and now I am an exile!" Nagita exclaimed. "However, my voice will not be silenced and neither will the voices of others! We need Ryuko Matoi to light our path from the darkness!" he said.
Hinata responded by hitting Nagisa with the newspaper with enough force to make him fly out the door. Normally, Hinata is pretty tame but couldn't help but feel like Nagita deserved that hit. Maybe it was his alter ego acting or Fenrir's personality was taking over.
"No thanks, Ryuko has already been stressed out enough." Hinata said.
"You are making a mistake! Sheltering her will not save us! You should fight for us as well!" Nagita yelled.
Hinata closed the door and turned on multiple safety defenses just in case. Nagita didn't look ready to give up despite Hinata's reaction.
"I won't give up! You will see the truth as well! Then I will be waiting for when you and Matoi lead our revolution!" Nagita said before running away.
"That guys is too excited." Mako said. "So, what do you think about that revolution stuff?" She asked in a curious tone.
"Like I said, I'm not a fan of some of Satsuki's decisions, but not every "rebel" can be trusted. Remember the crazy guy who stole a Goku Uniform?" Hinata asked.
"Oh yeah, that guy was practically running around with a bomb made of polyester." Mako said.
While it's true that Satsuki is a dictator and pretty much forced a natural selection style of living. There is some good aspects of her such as her leadership not being entirely forced out of fear. However, there is a major difference between a disgruntled citizen and a crazy person who wants power.
"Anyways, sometimes its best to just stand around and do nothing." Hinata said with a sigh. "I know, it sounds crappy but I doubt Ryuko wants to fight right now." he said.
The two looked at Ryuko who's eyes had been shadowed by her hair, "I'm not gonna fight for anyone." she said, sounding annoyed.
At least she was responding and showing emotion.
"I don't need to do whatever rebellion crap that guy said." Ryuko said before standing up. "I'm going to bed." she said.
"You just got up." Hinata pointed out.
"And I'm feeling tired again. Wake me when dinner is ready." Ryuko said.
"So are you going to sleep again after that?" Hinata asked.
Ryuko groaned, "Stop bothering me." She said.
Hinata sighed, "I can't understand girls." he said.
"Me neither." Mako replied.
Now Hinata looked confused, "How do you not know?" He asked.
Mako shrugged in response.
Later, at Ragyo's office
Ragyo had finished making her speech about clothing and her plans for the company. When Satsuki appeared and responded to her lecture. Which fits Ragyo's beliefs of clothing and humanity's dependence on it. As well as briefly referring to it as sin and humanity as sinners, a little nod towards Adam and Eve from Judeo-Christian mythology.
Now, the two were talking about Satsuki's plans which Ragyo had no objection towards. In fact, it was all a part of her own plan to further branch out and extend the control of REVOCS around the country.
"And when will your little military leave, Satsuki dear?" Ragyo asked.
"We will mobilize in three days." Satsuki answered.
"I see, how long will this take?" Ragyo asked.
"A day at the absolute most. After that, Honnoji will reign over every school in Japan and every student will wear uniforms made by REVOCS." Satsuki answered.
"How interesting, then you may continue with your plan dear. I'm so proud of you." Ragyo said as Satsuki left to leave, feeling uncaring of her mother's compliment.
As Satsuki prepared to leave, she quickly turned her head and slashed at the air with the Bakuzan sword. Ragyo stood unfazed while Hoomaru looked ready to jump in Ragyo's defense. Ragyo just smiled away at Satsuki as she sheathed her sword.
"Are you trying to scare me Satsuki? I never took you for someone who enjoys childish theatrics." Ragyo said, practically taunting her daughter.
Satsuki picked up a red thread from the floor, "You ought to pay closer attention to detail, mother. Your clients may question the quality of your work." she said as she placed the thread on Ragyo's desk.
Ragyo continued to smile as Satsuki left, acting as if her daughter's words meant nothing. Internally, Ragyo was actually greatly annoyed by Satsuki's audacity to mock her by directly insulting her talents in fashion design. She frowned once she saw Satsuki leave in her private helicopter and glared at the side of the room.
"Are you that impatient?" Ragyo asked.
Moments later, Junko Enoshima appeared with a mix of pain and anger on her face. The girl was rubbing her head as if someone had just hit her with a hammer. Ragyo looked at Junko with disappointment and the young girl could only feel embarrassed once she noticed Ragyo's mood.
"Sorry." Junko said.
"Satsuki is still sharp, Junko-chan. That blade of hers can cut through Life Fibers, don't forget what happened the last time she felt eager." Ragyo said.
"I know, but is it wrong for me to want to wring the annoying preppy bitch by the throat?" Junko asked.
"It's wrong depending on the time and amount of mess you make." Ragyo said, not wanting to completely discourage Junko. "However, I would prefer it if you played more caution dear. I don't want you losing your head before your real chance comes." she said.
"Okay, but I'm still not happy." Junko said as she pouted. She stopped pouting when Ragyo started hugging her in a provocative way, "So, you're literally allowing conquest to happen? I mean, it's cool but how is that gonna work?" she asked.
Ragyo snickered as she caressed Junko's face, "Satsuki may not be as I wanted her to be, but she's still important. Very useful as well and even with her little plot against me going on. Her own progress to eliminate our enemies and take control is only going to hurt her." she explained.
"Oh… you spoiled your daughter so you can discipline her! That makes… no sense whatsoever but I like it!" Junko said with a thumbs up. "I mean I get it, but you know. It feels like a double edged sword or whatever the saying is." she said.
"Then you know Satsuki is just waiting to stab me in the back. Only she knows less about my plans than I do about hers." Ragyo said.
"Cool, so when do I get a part?" Junko asked, sounding excited.
Ragyo grinned as she grasped Junko's chin, "Just less than a weak. Depending on how much damage my daughter causes, I can squeeze you in for extra insurance." she said.
"Good, I was feeling bored of hiding all the time. Mukuro isn't doing a good job at being fun." Junko said.
Ragyo looked behind Junko and saw Mukuro sticking her head out. The girl looked depressed as she was holding a deck of playing cards in one hand. Ragyo rolled her eyes at how subservient Mukuro can be. It's one thing to have people serve her, but it's another thing to deal with a girl like Mukuro who is more of a slave than a mindless robot.
"Just prepare your little adopted siblings. I want to try something with them after that one girl with the megaphone ruined their fun." Ragyo said.
"Oh yeah, the rug rats have also been feeling left out." Junko said before letting out a yawn. "Oh well, see ya later Miss Ragyo!" She said as she turned and left.
Ragyo smiled as she saw Junko leave, Junko herself didn't realize how subservient she was to Ragyo as well. Kind of ironic really, Junko wanted to have so much control and just wanted to see how her plans turn out.
As Ragyo said, clothing is a sin and it was humans who committed a sin. The true story behind this is that a serpent had manipulated the first humans, Adam and Eve, to devour the apple of the forbidden tree. The essence of the tree would remove the innocence and purity of man and bring guilt and shame. To cover that shame, man had created clothes and Ragyo capitalized on that.
It is said that the serpent is actually the incarnation of the devil, Lucifer. A beautiful angel who became prideful and formed a rebellion, ending with him being casted into hell. Junko and all of Ragyo's supporters have witnessed and fallen in love with the serpent hiding in the form of an angel of all white.
Hinata's House, a day later
Hinata spent the day at his house again, still trying to get Ryuko to be active again. Seeing as how Senketsu was inactive, he was forced to share some of his own blood.
"At least Ryuko still retains her emotions." Senketsu said.
"She's still emo." Fenrir said.
"Don't call her that." Senketsu said.
"You wanna fight, limpy?" Fenrir asked.
"Knock it off you two." Hinata said before hearing someone banging on the door.
"If it's that nerd with the glasses. I'm going to make him permanently blind." Fenrir said as the door continued to be hit.
"Hold on!" Hinata shouted as he ran towards the door.
Once open, he was met by Nagita who was being overactive again. The boy didn't even bother to ask for permission for entry. He just shoved passed Hinata and pointed out the door.
"Satsuki Kiriyuin's minions have tried to censor me again! We need Ryuko at once!" Nagita exclaimed as he pointed at his pursuers outside.
Hinata groaned as he saw a group of overly large one star students rushing towards his house. The students shoved him aside as they chased after Nagita and proceeded to beat him up. Luckily, they were just a bunch of brutes with no sense of strategy so it would be easy to deal with them.
Unless you were Mako.
"I'm sorry Hajime! I tried talking Nagita out of…" Mako's words stopped when one of the one star student's punch Mako.
Despite being an average teenage girl, Mako was still durable enough to survive the attack. Although that didn't mean she was without pain. Hinata glared at the one star student and tackled him through his wall. Seconds later, pulled out his Buster Sword and got to work on defeating the one star student and tearing through his uniform.
"Hey! This punk is made of wood!" Fenrir yelled.
"Eh?" Hinata asked, noticing this fact as well.
As Fenrir said, the student was made of wood and therefore not real. Looking at it closely, the student was built like a puppet and didn't carry any life fibers. Hinata quickly assumed this was the work of some club president that dabbles in marionettes but had to put that aside. He heard some destruction coming from his backyard and Ryuko wearing Senketsu.
"That should you teach you bastards not to beat up my best friend or random nerds!" Ryuko exclaimed.
As Ryuko was suddenly motivated into action when she saw Mako being attacked from her room window. She also noticed that the remaining one star students were made of wood. Moments later, Ryuko found herself rolling away from the Buster Sword as it nearly impaled her.
"What the hell!?" Ryuko angrily asked her brother.
"Nui's back!" Hinata yelled.
Ryuko snapped backwards and saw Nagita standing against a wooden fence with the buster sword right next to his face. However, the odd thing about Nagita is that the hair that obscured one of his eyes had been cut and revealed a strange purple patch. The exact same one that Nui wears to cover the wound that Isshin Matoi inflicted onto her.
"It took you that long to find me? You two are so slow." Nui said as she removed her disguise.
"Nui Harime!" Ryuko angrily screamed as she attacked the girl.
Hinata tried calling out to Ryuko to keep her from falling into Nui's trap. One second later, the two girls were battling across the neighborhood and left a giant trail of destruction. Hinata groaned as he chased after the two when he saw Kazuichi arriving in some kind of military style buggy.
"Hey Hajime, I saw the mess with Mako and some other kid. Did they pass by here?" Kazuichi asked.
Hinata jumped into the seat next to Kazuichi, "Just follow the destruction." he said.
"Alright!" Kazuichi said before speeding off after Ryuko and Nui.
When the two arrived, they saw Nui locking her scissor blade against Ryuko. As Hinata prepared to jump out of the vehicle, Kazuichi tampered with a switch which activated an gun turret. Before either could try and help Ryuko, Nui caught Ryuko off guard and slashed at Ryuko's exposed body. Resulting in Senketsu being ripped apart like piece of meat that Guts found on the street.
"And that is that." Nui said before raising her sword right above Ryuko.
"No!" Hinata yelled as he ran to his sister's side.
"Damn!" Kazuichi cursed as he punched another button.
Nui turned her head to see Hinata running straight towards her. At the same time, she also saw the automatic gun turret rapidly shooting at her. Nui quickly moved around the bullets and noticed they were modified nails, similar to the ones that Tsumugu used on her and Ryuko. It didn't matter to Nui as she was sure she could avoid Kazuichi's contraptions but had to make room for Hinata.
"You're no fun either, Izuru-kun." Nui said as she prepared to block Hinata said.
Hinata almost gave into anger again when Nui called her that name. However, to his and Nui's surprise, Satsuki appeared and blocked Hinata's attack. The two were confused by Satsuki's sudden appearance and desire to defend Nui.
"Aw Satsuki-chan! I knew you cared!" Nui said while still avoiding the gun turret's nails.
Kazuichi quickly tried to deactivate his gun turret as he didn't want his weapon to try and hit the Kiriyuin heiress. "Try" being the keyword as he doubts he could hit Satsuki but the act alone would likely make her see him as a threat.
'Right now? Right now of all times? Doesn't Satsuki have some concept of a social life?' Kazuichi thought as he quickly turned off his weapon.
Meanwhile, Hinata glared at Satsuki, "Why are you protecting her?" he asked as he backed away.
"I do not need to answer you." Satsuki said. She then looked at Nui, "And you need to leave as well." she said.
"Kick this bitch's ass!" Fenrir demanded.
"Hm? What for?" Nui asked, ignoring Satsuki's scary look.
"Blood sport." Satsuki answered as she prepared to aim her weapon at Nui.
Nui realized she wasn't welcomed anymore, "Fine, she was boring anyways." she said, referring to Ryuko.
Hinata mentally cursed that Nui got away, but there was no point in it. He and Ryuko are outclassed by the girl, unless they worked together and maybe had some help. There was also no use in talking to Satsuki since it would be like trying to argue with a brick wall.
Hinata then worked on picking up the pieces of Senketsu. Only to stop as Satsuki nearly hit his hand with the sheathe of her sword. Hinata looked up at Satsuki with confusion before she spoke.
"Ryuko Matoi is not worthy of a kamui's power. I'm starting to think the same as you." Satsuki said in a colder voice.
"Like hell! This wimp is better than a bitch like you!" Fenrir roared.
"You may take this trash, but not the uniform." Satsuki said.
"Murder her ass already! I'm sick and tired of this bitch and her ego!" Fenrir commanded.
It seemed like Hinata started feeling the same way, "I think you're out of line this time, Satsuki." he said.
"What was that? Did I hear you correctly?" Satsuki asked, almost daring for Hinata to rebel.
Suddenly, one of Hinata's eyes flickered into a red color, "I think it's time I put my faith into someone who doesn't think she has all the answers." He said as he raised up the Buster Sword.
"Who am I speaking to?" Satsuki asked as she drew the Bakuzan sword.
At the same time, wondering if Izuru was free again or if Hinata really had the audacity to challenge her authority.
All Satsuki knew was that obtaining Ryuko's kamui wouldn't be as easy as she wanted it to be. For in a mere second, Satsuki raised up her sword to block the heavy the heavy sword that Hinata was holding. Satsuki could feel the pressure building up from the attack and studied this ferocity. She stepped back in an attempt to disrupt Hinata's footing but was surprised when Hinata tried to decapitate her.
Satsuki then parried a rapid series of blows from the Buster Sword despite the weapon being too big and heavy to move at such pace. Still, Satsuki was a lot faster thanks to the Bakuzan's slimmer build. Which allowed Satsuki to counter attack and stab Fenrir in one of his eyes. Which also drew blood from Hinata's chest as a result.
"You should not have allowed your attachments to the delinquent to take control of you." Satsuki said as she twisted her sword. "Because of this weakness, your loyalty to the wrong side, I will bury you!" she yelled.
"Don't you know when to shut the hell up!?" Fenrir screamed in rage.
A second later, Satsuki almost screamed as she felt Fenrir bite down on her hand. Satsuki looked at her hand and saw a massive wound before noticing blood coming out from the center of Hinata's chest. Fenrir was staring straight at her with the eyes of a predator who had just been woken up.
"You have no control over the kamui either, it seems. You are about to lose yourself as Matoi did." Satsuki said as she picked up her sword. "It seems that two…"
"SHUT UP ALREADY!" Fenrir screamed, forcing Satsuki into silence. "Listen here you prissy bitch, I know you can hear me. I know Junketsu is a can't talk, but they are just a weakling that becomes subservient to anyone that can fight back. I'm not some blood drinking whore like them or a pushover like Senketsu." He explained.
"Hey! I'm injured and you're insulting me now!?" Senketsu asked.
"Be quiet." Fenrir said to his compatriot. He then focused back on Satsuki, "You're talking about being this perfect or near perfect girl who's the messiah, but guess what. You're pain and struggles don't make you entitled to march around and give long winded speeches. When you haven't reached Junketsu's true potential and just settle with being slightly more tough." He said, making Satsuki's eyes narrow.
"Do you feel better? Having gotten that off of your chest?" Hinata asked in an emotionless voice.
"I did actually, but I'll feel better when we're done fighting Junketsu's pimp. Let's finish this, Kamakura." Fenrir said as engines appeared at the heels of Hinata's shoes.
Now as Izuru Kamakura was in control, Satsuki fought more cautiously now that Fenrir was fully synchronized with Izuru. Satsuki was tempted into synchronizing with Junketsu, but did not want to waste time and energy. At the same time, she noticed Kazuichi running up to Ryuko and trying to lift her up into his arms.
"I'm probably gonna get executed or whatever for this, but I'm not abandoning a friend." Kazuichi said as he also tried picking up scraps of Senketsu. "I can't sew, but hopefully Hajime or someone with a sewing machine can put your uniform back together, Ryuko." he said as he ran towards his vehicle.
Satsuki narrowed her eyes as she blocked Izuru's next attack, "Your resolve is strong, but mine is stronger!" she said before pushing him back. "If this is your true path, then I will welcome the challenge! Both you and Matoi, but not today!" she yelled as she threw down a smoke bomb.
"What is she now? A ninja?" Fenrir asked.
Izuru quickly delivered about a hundred slashes around the smoke where Satsuki was. When the smoke cleared up, he saw that the rest of Senketsu was now missing. Izuru bent down on one knee and punched the ground with enough force to make the entire block shake.
"Why is it that I failed? Was I too eager? Did Hajime Hinata's emotions ruin my perception?" Izuru asked.
"Don't get mad at yourself. It's like Ryuko said, Kiriyuin is an entitled brat that fixes the rules to benefit her so she can win." Fenrir said.
"You almost sound supportive." Izuru said.
"The hell you say to me!?" Fenrir angrily asked.
"It was merely an analysis." Izuru said as he stood up. "For now, we're retreating." He said before giving control back to Hinata.
Later, Hinata's House
Hinata groaned as Mikan was bandaging his hand, "Stupid alternate personality." he muttered.
"Hajime, you really need to keep yourself in check. It's bad enough that Ryuko is hurt, you shouldn't be inflicting self damage." Mikan said with a lot of concern.
"I know, I'm sorry." Hinata said. "How is Ryuko?" he asked.
"I'm afraid she will be spending more time in bed." Mikan said as she finished with the bandages. "There's no critical wounds, but I recommend a full day's rest. She's exhausted and filled with a few cuts and bruises around her body." She said.
As Mikan gave her diagnosis, Kazuichi was hitting his head against the wall. The pink haired boy was muttering that he was now an enemy of Satsuki and that she would more than likely have her one star students and club presidents target him as they do with Ryuko. Leaving the Ultimate Mechanic to feel cowardly and pathetic.
"I'm gonna die. Some dominatrix school girl wants to kill me, I know it. I didn't even meet Sonia's requisites for a date." Kazuichi whined. "Even worse, my best friend's sister is hurt again." he said.
"Kazuichi, please stop hurting yourself. You aren't helping." Mikan said.
Kazuichi stopped and looked at Hinata, "Hey Hajime, I know this is a bad time, but can I move in here? Satsuki likely kicked me out of my dorm and probably burned any invention of mine that doesn't benefit her." he said.
"If it comes down to that. I'll get an extra bed for you, but we have to focus on what we now know." Hinata said as he looked at Ryuko's unconscious form.
"And that's exactly what I was thinking." Aikuro said as he entered the house.
Not even caring that other people from his class are in this house. Aikuro quickly removed his glasses and slicked his hair back as his shirt started to unbutton itself for some reason. Mikan looked frightened, Kazuichi looked disturbed and Teruteru, who was in the kitchen, looked slightly uncomfortable.
"I'm always prepared for guests, but not a surprise teacher meeting. Especially one starting to strip." Teruteru said.
"I'm not stripping, there's no time for that." Aikuro said as his shirt started to slide down.
"Are your nipples glowing? Why are they flashing like LED lights? Did you drink the fluid that makes LED lights?" Kazuichi asked.
Aikuro ignored those two and picked up a nearby chair. He slammed it down backwards and sat down in a backwards position as dramatically as possible.
"I just heard the news, so you must already know about Satsuki's plans conquest." Aikuro said with Hinata nodding in response. "Then you should know things are worse now that Ryuko lost her kamui. Not because she's weaker, but because Satsuki is adding Senketsu's life fibers to amplify her army's strength." he said.
"Senketsu, look what you did now!" Fenrir yelled.
By this point, Senketsu was nothing more than a pile of scrapped cloths with one of them being his eye. The poor kamui was hurt and felt useless.
"Fenrir, I know you don't like me and admire strength with strength, but now isn't a good time." Senketsu said with Fenrir scoffing.
Hinata did his best to drown out the banter as Aikuro continued. It looks like now was a turning point for Honnoji Academy and this business behind Satsuki's plans.
"I'll be straight with you Hajime. I need to know what you're thinking. How loyal are you to Satsuki?" Aikuro asked.
"I respected her, but with Nui appearing twice. I can't be sure if I can trust her authority." Hinata said, surprising his classmates.
"You can't be serious! Satsuki saved us when the government and those Future Foundation people treated us like terrorists!" Mikan exclaimed.
"To be fair, I sided with Satsuki out of fear. Well, fear of her and the government." Kazuichi admitted.
"I like me a strong bossy lady, but I ain't gonna be fighting her when she can just kill me." Teruteru said. "Besides, I ain't no political whatever you call them, but shouldn't we talk this over with the class and vote or something?" he asked.
Hinata looked at Mikan and Teruteru with a serious gaze, "I'm not forcing either of you or the rest of the class into anything." He said. "This is our fight. You guys know Satsuki better than me, but I don't want to debate this." he said.
It was at this moment, Hinata noticed that someone else had joined the conversation. He saw Chiaki standing at the doorframe with a look of shock on her face. Chiaki didn't know the full story of what happened yet and just assumed that Ryuko was attacked in a vulnerable state. Now it sounded like her boyfriend was participating in some kind of rebellion. Little did she know, Aikuro knew she was reporting to Satsuki as a representative of their class.
Then after some later investigations, Aikuro learned that this Chiaki is just one level below being a spy. In other words, a spy without the title in his opinion.
'Something tells me this class is going to be split.' Aikuro thought as he predicted some sort of division amongst the students.
The next day, Honnoji Academy
Satsuki was displeased, a tad annoyed as well, but she didn't have any time to concern herself over this. Chiaki had come to her to announce the recent division between her classmates. As well as the revelation that Aikuro worked for Nudist Beach as well as the fact that everyone knows that she's been reporting to Satsuki herself.
Most of the class lost their trust in the Ultimate Gamer when that was revealed.
"If you want my condolences for the loss of a few confidants and your lover, you will not receive it. Instead, you will be given this wisdom." Satsuki said as she clicked her heel again. "Your pain comes from failure. Your attachment was strong, but the loyalty between you and your friends was weak. Think back on this and realize who's loyalties you belong to and who owes you their loyalties." she said.
Satsuki doesn't openly admit to being perfect like her followers claim. Deep down, she's faced many oppositions and those who would sell her out or abandon her. It was the strength of her own ambitions that allowed her to move on from such betrayals. As well as teaching her how to discipline her followers should they decide to step out of line.
"Thank you, Lady Satsuki." Chiaki said, sounding more formal.
"Now then, unless your heart is as fragile as glass. I want you to gather your loyal classmates. They will be excused from Yukizome-san's classes for the remainder of the trip." Satsuki stated as she turned on her heel. "With lower numbers, you will be temporarily intertwined with Class 78 and a few specialists." she added.
Chiaki nodded, "Yes Lady Satsuki, when do we leave?" she asked.
"Two days from now. Take that time to not only prepare for the incoming battle against the other schools, but against your former friends." Satsuki answered as she looked over her shoulder. "Do not bother teaching them the error of their ways." she said before leaving.
Chiaki looked down at the ground before digging into her jacket's pocket. Where she pulled out a little hair clip in the shape of a video game character. She clutched it tightly to her chest before pocketing it again.
At the same time, with Hinata's group
Hinata clutched his chest as he looked down at the ground. His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Ryuko's motorcycle engine. The girl was fully healed and up to speed on Aikuro's plan.
"Hajime, I know you're sad that you're girlfriend isn't around anymore, but remember the mission." Ryuko said without trying to sound too mean.
Hinata nodded, "Yeah, sure. I just needed a minute." he said.
Ryuko got off of her motorcycle and patted her brother on the shoulder, "Hajime, I know things look tough. Heck, things have been crazy since I before I stepped into Honnoji Academy. I literally saw some naked guy strung up at the gate." she said.
"You can only imagine how much I disliked being a normal guy a long time ago." Hinata said with a sigh.
"Meh, what do you define as normal? Being some boring without some random ass skill?" Ryuko asked. "Everything is going to be good when we beat Satsuki, Nui and whoever else is involved." she said, sounding optimistic.
"I hope so." Hinata replied.
Ryuko rolled her eyes, "Dude, you are such a downer. Look, things probably won't go so well. You're a nice guy, a bit bland and not as cool as me, but I'm sure any chick would want you." She said.
"Ryuko, I really don't want to hear that right now." Hinata said.
Ryuko snickered as she looked around, "Hey nurse!" she yelled.
Mikan turned around in surprise, "Yes?" she asked.
"What do you think about dating Hajime?" Ryuko asked, causing Mikan to turn red from embarrassment. "Hey what's wrong?" she asked.
"I'm sorry, I just… wah!" Mikan ran away feeling anxious.
"Okay, shy girls are a bad idea." Ryuko said.
"Ryuko, I really don't want to talk about this now." Hinata said.
Ryuko held up her hand, "Don't worry, your big sister will hook you up. How about that pharmacist girl. I bet she has a pretty face under her mask." she said while looking at Seiko.
Hinata started walking away, "I'm gonna go stand over here." He said.
Ryuko scoffed, "I try to help out the only family I have left in this world and he avoids me." she said.
Then Aikuro came forward, "Sounds like Hajime is having a rough time. Hopefully he keeps his head in the game." he said.
"I'm sure he will. My brother isn't that wimpy." Ryuko said.
"So anyways, you know where to go right? It's important that not only your kamui is repaired, but that Satsuki loses some of her strength." Aikuro said.
"That much is obvious. I kick some ass and get revenge for Senketsu at the same time." Ryuko said.
"While we're at it, there's no doubt that Satsuki is likely utilizing the Ultimates. Regardless of Class 77's allegiance, Class 78 have respect and loyalty for Satsuki. Some of which are club presidents and will no doubt try to stop you." Aikuro explained.
"I know, I've already dealt with a lot of useless and stupid clubs. So I know they're pretty tough. You're not going to talk me out of this or scare me." Ryuko said.
Aikuro's clothes started to slide off, "I'm just making sure you know what you're facing." he said.
"And I know who's ass I'm kicking first unless you keep your clothes on!" Ryuko yelled.
"Take care, Ryuko Matoi!" Aikuro said as he stripped down to a pink speedo.
Aikuro suddenly jumped into a nearby sports car and drove off. Ryuko groaned as she hated that man for being so perverted. She wasn't the only one who really disliked seeing adult men showing their bodies around. Kazuichi is one specific case as he was a lover of women, but Sonia will always have his eye.
"I did not need to see that." Kazuichi said as he approached his best friend's sister. "So, is the bike ready?" he asked.
"I'm ready to leave rubber imprints onto someone's face." Ryuko answered.
"That's not a scary answer at all." Kazuichi said sarcastically. "Anyways, here's a list of utilities. In case things can tricky, it never hurts to have a backup plan or a backup plan for the first backup plan." he said as he pulled out a clipboard.
"Where are the heat seeking missiles?" Ryuko asked with a smirk.
As Ryuko was talking with Kazuichi. Teruteru was setting up the ingredients he needed for the incoming battle. Luckily, Kazuichi and a few members of Nudist Beach set him up with a modified food truck that worked like a mobile base.
"Osaka, here we come! Let's see how the locals handle my dishes!" Teruteru said.
"We're going to Osaka!? If turning traitor was this fun, I would have abandoned that stuck up preppy a long time ago!" Akane exclaimed.
"Akane, get in your seat. We gotta get ready for a war." Nekomaru said from the food truck.
"Yeah, yeah, let me just get something for the road." Akane said.
Nagito chuckled in the background, "I see you will have a great time together in Osaka." he said.
"With how much food is waiting for me. I'm going to be in heaven." Akane responded.
"Speaking of which, where's your group heading?" Teruteru asked the Ultimate Luck.
"I'll be in Kobe with Ibuki." Nagito answered.
"Yikes, I forget how few of us are here. I expected Fuyuhiko to be here." Akane said as she scratched her head.
"Well as you can see, Fuyuhiko's clan was weakened during the tragedy and even before then. They were cautious around the Kiriyuin family." Nagito explained.
"Damn, that means Peko isn't here either." Akane said. "We could have really used that girl's help." she said.
"So who else do we have left?" Teruteru asked.
"Just Sonia, Ryota and our impostor friend." Hinata said as he approached them. "This means we're missing Hiyoko, Fuyuhiko, Peko, Mahiru, Gundham and… Chiaki." he said, mentioning his girlfriend's name with hesitation.
Nagito tried to cheer up his friend, "Let us worry not for now. We still have the majority and a couple of students from outside of our class." he said, referring to Seiko and a few others.
"Yeah, we're fortunate enough there. You all have your directions right?" Hinata asked.
"Right." everyone answered.
"Good, Nagito and Ibuki will be following Ryuko to Kobe. Ryuko will try to put her kamui back together and you guys can try and support her against the One Star students." Hinata explained.
"You are quite optimistic about this plan." Nagito said.
"I have to be. Besides, I'll be in Kyoto to intercept Jakuzure with Sonia and Kazuichi." Hinata added.
"Where does that leave Ryota and his chubby twin?" Akane asked.
"They'll be trying to help the Nudist Beach operatives. Ryota might be coming up with an animation to calm people down." Hinata said.
"How is a cartoon going to help?" Nekomaru asked from his seat.
"Ryota's talent can be a heavy strain, but it can reach levels that can manipulate human emotion. We think it might help pacify Honnoji Academy's students." Hinata answered.
"Damn, cartoon hypnosis?" Nekomaru asked.
"Ooh boy! Can it be a cooking anime!?" Teruteru asked as he thought only food could express someone's passions.
"I'll recommend it to Ryota when I see him. For now, I wish you guys good luck. The drive will be long and the mission will be difficult." Hinata said before leaving.
Nagito smiled, "I suppose that helps reduce the tension." he said.
"Well Nanami isn't here anymore, so someone has to be our new leader. In reality, I mean." Akane said, having some faith in Hinata from her time in the simulation world.
"Well you heard the team captain. Let's get this show on the road!" Nekomaru said as Akane jumped into the seat next to him.
Day of the raid, Kobe
Ryuko was racing towards Kobe where Gamagori had already began his assault on Kami-Kobe High School. There, she already saw Gamagori and his minions from the disciplinary committee pushing the enemy students to their limits with handbooks. Apparently the physical books and their content were as powerful as Gamagori's biceps themselves.
"No matter how thick your armor or your skull is! Honnoji Academy's order will shatter all delinquents!" Gamagori yelled.
"That idiot is giving me a headache." Ryuko grumbled.
"Stay focused Ryuko, there's no telling how strong they are now that they have essence of my fibers." Senketsu said.
"I know! I know! Stop treating me like I'm a kid!" Ryuko replied. "Between you and my little brother, I feel like I'm being treated like I'm made of glass." she said.
"Technically, Hajime was born first." Senketsu interjected.
"No, he "matured" first. I'm the older sister." Ryuko said as she speeds up.
With Ibuki following closely, "Aw, heck no! You're just the opening act Ryuko!" she yelled as she speeds up the vehicle she's driving.
"Perhaps it would have been more beneficial, if I was driving." Nagito said as he looked sickly.
"Nah, you would drive worse than my grandma on her way to the pharmcy." Ibuki said as she continued to drive recklessly.
As they drove quickly through the streets of Kobe. No one noticed the technologically advanced drones floating over the skies of Kobe. All of them focusing on the Tri-City School's Raid with this fleet focusing specifically on Kobe.
Especially the part where Ryuko would end up meeting Gamagori. Technically, it was the wheel of her motorcycle that met Gamagori as it ran over his face.
With the Warriors of Hope
Everyone minus Monaca winced as they saw Ryuko's motorcycle tire leaving a giant tire mark on Gamagori's face. Monica just stared at the screen with a smile on her face as Ryuko drove off of Gamagori's face and proceeded to swing her Scissor Blade at the students that supported Gamagori. At the same time, it looked like Nagito's luck had turned bad as he accidentally run over by the vehicle that Nagito was driving. Funny enough, Nagito's vehicle only broke down once he landed on top of Gamagori.
"That looks like the worst time for an engine failure." Kotoko said.
"Maybe it needs an oil change." Jataro said.
Suddenly, the live video showed the tires of Nagito's vehicle popping.
"And maybe a change of tires." Jataro added.
Then the rims of the tire broke off and the nails holding them together shot out of the vehicle. Several dozen One Star Students were knocked unconscious by the nails as they flew faster than speeding bullets.
"Maybe they were a rim job was overdo." Jataro suggested.
The doors were the next things to break off along with the upper portion of the vehicle.
"Maybe this was all an act. Maybe their engine wasn't broken." Jataro said.
Finally, the engine suddenly flew out of the vehicle like a rocket.
"Hopefully that doesn't void the warranty." Jataro said, making everyone sweat drop.
"It is quite unfortunate that we do not have the warranty." Nagito said through the live video.
"Monaca thinks that Jataro should stop jinxing it." Monaca said.
Jataro looked down in depression, "I'm gonna be quiet now." he said.
"Monaca wants to see the other cities." Monaca said.
"Yeah, I wanna see how that blind guy is doing." Masaru said.
Nagisa sighed as he used his remote to change the live feed. From there, they witnessed Sanageyama's invasion of Osaka. Where everyone was having great difficulty against the combined forces. Even as Sanageyama's forces manage to push back the students of Naniwa Kinman High School, many of the locals jumped in.
"What are they doing now?" Kotoko asked.
"They're being bribed by money!" Nagisa answered in surprise.
Monaca frowned, "Money is evil, it's making everybody do dumb things like fight." she said. "It should be used for good things, like all of that tasty food." she said.
"Now I'm hungry." Jataro whined as he stomach growl.
"Hey! Your stomach growling is making my stomach growl!" Kotoko yelled.
Suddenly the door behind everyone was kicked in and in came Junko, "Okay, enough television for today!" she announced. Then she saw the video of Sanageyama's forces being pushed back, "And you guys should stop wasting your time with watching that useless monkey." she added.
"Big sister Junko is back!" Monaca exclaimed as the children surrounded her.
"That's right and we're going out! Lady Ragyo gave us permission to go all out tonight!" Junko said excitedly.
"Really? We will?" Kotoko asked, looking the most excited.
"What do we get to do?" Masaru asked, also looking excited.
"Hold all the questions for once the tour begins. Mukuro! Get the goody bags ready!" Junko shouted.
Mukuro came running in with several boxes, "I'm here sister, I have the gifts from Lady Ragyo." she said.
"Then it's a good thing she's the closest thing we have to a goddess. At least then some people can look you once you get your outfit on." Junko said.
Mukuro nodded, "I'm glad to hear that!" she said, still treating Junko's abuse as if it were constructive criticism.
"Now kiddies, open your Christmas presents early. We're going to… er… are we splitting up or what was the plan?" Junko asked.
"Splitting up, Homaru-san will have specific instructions when we meet her." Mukuro said.
"Oh, that makes sense." Junko said as Mukuro handed out a gift box for each child. "Okay then, let's go meet with Rei so she can give us our dumb schedules." she said.
"Monaca is excited for the field trip." Monaca said.
"So is Junko." Junko said, mimicking Monaca's speaking style.
TO BE CONTINUED…
Omake - The Power of Friendship But Friendship it Actually Makes You OP
Ryuko gritted her teeth as she had come across Nui for the second time. Technically it was the third if Ryuko counted the time she saw Nui's shadow on the day Nui killed her dad. However, not only was Ryuko pissed that Nui had killed her father, turned her into a hulking monster and stole her dad's prototype weapon. Ryuko felt this absolute righteous anger towards Nui for getting her best friend, Mako, hurt.
"Not only am I going to murder you for the shit you did to me, but I'm going to make sure you only feel pain for getting Mako dragged into this." Ryuko said.
Nui tilted her head but kept smiling, "You mean the girl with the bowl cut that makes her look like a mushroom?" she asked. "Meh, collateral damage." she said with a shrug.
Nui mostly said this to see how angry she can get Ryuko pissed off. She subtly kept a tight grip on the purple scissor blade as she knew Ryuko would attack her. However, she didn't expect Ryuko to move at speeds that would outrun light.
The only hint of movement that Nui could make was the sudden tearing of Life Fibers. As she was sentient Life Fibers similar to Senketsu, Nui was just a set of fabric in the shape of a human. Still, like a human, the concept of pain was nothing new or foreign to Nui as she began to fall apart like paper going through a shredder.
"EH!? MY LIFE FIBERS!" Nui shrieked. "Don't you know what you've done!? I can't even put myself back together! By this point, I might as well turn into confetti!" she yelled.
Ryuko smirked, "How rude of you Nui, you think I would waste fabric? I'm sure I can use you for something." she said.
"You think you won? Well, you haven't! There's still Satsuki you have to deal with! Even then, she's just a puppet! A puppet! The real mastermind will get you and that's all that matters!" Nui screamed, thinking she still won despite dying.
"You know what? I just remembered, Hajime just fixed Mako's house's toilet. They've been saving up for toilet paper." Ryuko said with a sadistic look.
For a moment, Nui could briefly see Ragyo's sadistic smile in place of Ryuko's face. It was at that moment, Nui realized that Ryuko is the infant child that Ragyo threw away. But that didn't matter, not only would Nui fail to tell Ragyo this important piece of news. Ryuko is going to turn her into stacks of toilet paper!
Then with the loud click of a heel, Satsuki appeared, "I actually expected you to fall before Nui's hand." she said.
Ryuko smirked at Satsuki, "I just gained another power up Satsuki. I'm in a pretty good mood, so I'll let you do your boring speech and go home." she said.
"You underestimate my patience, Matoi." Satsuki said as she drew the Bakuzan sword. "I see you've administered the Literal Power of Friendship, but it does not matter! I will crush you and take that Kamui from your body, using my own Power of Friendship!" she exclaimed.
Ryuko face faulted, "Satsuki, you seriously can't be this stupid. Servants, minions and "pigs" are not friends." she said.
Satsuki ignored Ryuko and rambled on about her ambitions or something as she flew directly at Ryuko. Unfortunately, Ryuko was right and this was Satsuki's downfall as well as the downfall of the Four Divas.
Later that day
Ryuko entered the Mankanshoku house with high spirits, "Everyone, I want to thank you for letting me into your home. After dad died, I saw you all as my second family. So I want to repay you." she said.
"Oh Ryuko, there's no need." Sukuyo said.
"Yeah, you're like our second daughter." Barazo said in agreement.
"Show us your goods!" Mataro exclaimed before his mother hit the back of his head.
Ryuko then took a side step as Satsuki and the Four Divas entered the house. The family was shocked that the most powerful girl and her closest minions were in their house. However, they were confused as to why they were all dressed like maids and butlers.
"Everyone, meet your new maids and butlers. They'll be working for you guys and for free!" Ryuko said much to the ire of the group.
Mataro suddenly walked up to Satsuki and Jakuzure, "Uniform inspection! Strip down so we can inspect your uniforms and your bodies, for tattoos I mean." he said.
Satsuki always kept the same expression on her face but she was feeling very furious right now. There cannot be anything more embarrassing than being the servant of a Mankanshoku right now.
END OF OMAKE
