Saiki's Invincible Invisible Camouflage! - Well...Almost Invincible

"Little Lotus! It's here!"

Lotus was busy at her desk doing homework when the door to her room was flung open.

"I guess knocking isn't a thing we do in this house anymore?"

Lotus set down her pencil turning away from her desk facing Ethan. "What's here?"

Ethan smiled holding up a box. "The tea from my family."

"Oh? So soon?" Lotus asked

"Yup, they sent it first class so it got here quick," Ethan explained

"That was nice of them." Lotus picked up Sir Henry as Ethan set the box on Lotus's desk. Lotus set the ferret down next to the box as Ethan opened it.

"Let's see here we've got Earl Grey, Black Tea, Chamomile Tea, Rose Tea. Oh! Look here's some those special of brews that come from the countryside, Green Mist, Scottland West, and some Amelia's Special." Ethan said going through the box.

"Oh, that's the tea that woman from town makes right?" Lotus said

Ethan nodded his head. "Yeah, Mrs. Amelia. She and her family grow and forage for all the herbs that go in their tea.

Lotus reached into the box too. "Oh wow, your mother sent some pre-packaged baking goods to make some scones." Lotus pulled out several small bags and jars when she noticed something at the bottom of the box. "Hey, there's also an envelope."

Ethan grabbed the envelope flipping it over to read the front. "Dad's secret recipe to perfect tea." He read

Ethan and Lotus looked perplexed before the man opened the letter. Both of them deadpanned seeing the bold writing on the white paper. In big black letters was the word, Whiskey. Lotus and Ethan sweatdropped as they looked further down the paper seeing something else written.

"If you don't have whiskey then use rum!"

After school, Lotus could normally be found hanging around Saiki, which she currently was, but she wouldn't be walking home with him today. Instead, Lotus was going to be staying after school to help some teachers run a few errands. Right now she had a stack of papers and was going around various classrooms distributing the papers. Saiki was walking next to her accompanying the girl as far as he could before he left.

"Your excited right? That show's season finale is coming on tonight right?" Lotus asked Saiki.

"Right. It's four now so if I hurry I'll be home with time to spare before it airs at 5," Saiki said

Lotus giggled, "I'm looking forward to it too. It's an original anime not based on any manga, so I'm excited to see what the ending is going to be. Hopefully, I'll get these errands done quickly and I'll be able to make it home in time."

The two psychics were about to turn a corner heading to the stairway but Saiki stopped causing Lotus to stop as well.

"Uh-oh, Kaidou's up ahead better double back."

"Well I gotta go this way, so I'll catch ya later Saiki!"

"See ya."

"I can't find Saiki wh-Hidden Princess Warrior Lotus!" Kaidou shouted when Lotus walked out.

"Hey Kaidou," Lotus greeted

"I found this really cool abandoned building that I've turned into my Jet Black Wings lair. You have to come see it with Saiki," Kaidou said

"~They're gonna love it my own hideout super secret base!~" Kaidou thought imaging the abandoned building he had found.

"That place looks dangerous."

"Well, I think Saiki's left already and right now I'm running some errands for some teachers-"

"Ah, I get!" Kaidou exclaimed, "I'll go find Saiki while you finish up, and we can all go together."

"You...don't really get it."

Kaidou ran off leaving behind Lotus.

"Sorry Saiki I tried, but Kaidou's coming. I'm sure he can handle it though, this is Saiki after all."

"Lotus!"

Lotus stopped walking as her name was called. She turned around and was greeted by Hairo.

"Hey Hairo, what's up?" Lotus asked

"Hey as a thank you for helping me out the other day I wanted to invite you and Saiki to the gym," Hairo said

"The gym? I'd like that but I'm pretty sure Saiki would not."

"I've caught you but have you seen Saiki?" Hairo asked looking around

"Well, he-"

"No matter I'll find him! I won't give up until I do!" Hairo declared before running off.

"Uh….."

After about 20 minutes Lotus had finished all of her tasks.

"Hmm...I wonder how Saiki's doing. Did he make it home in time? I know!"

Lotus ran into an empty classroom taking a seat in one of the empty desks.

"Time to test it out." Lotus's eyes crossed. "Clairvoyance!"

Using her mind Lotus searched around and was able to locate Saiki.

"There he is!"

But he wasn't home, in fact, he was still in school, he looked to be hiding out in the bathroom.

"Wonder what happened?"

"No one is leaving."

"Whoa, this is both cool and freaky. I can see and hear him perfectly."

"Hairo's at the front gate. Kaidou's at the shoe locker. As for her….Teruhashi and her worker drones are everywhere. Now I'm really screwed leaving is now nearly impossible and I can't record the show cause the moment it's over my mind will be flooded with spoilers from people who'd seen it. It can't be helped my only choice is to become invisible."

Lotus continued to watch Saiki, but to her, he was still there.

"Oh maybe because his powers don't work on me I can still see him. He must be visible to me but invisible to everyone else."

"Okay I've got ten minutes and I gotta make sure no one touches me, so I don't become visible again."

"Ah, so those are the limits Saiki has for his invisibility."

Lotus observed as Saiki was about to walk out of the bathroom stall he was hiding in, but he quickly shut the door as Nendou walked out.

"Whoa, that was a close one Saiki. This must be really hard for him. He can sense where everyone else is but since Saiki can't read his thoughts he can't detect Nendou."

Lotus watched as Saiki made his way to his shoe locker, but not before scaring Kaidou who had been hiding out in a locker. Kaidou's screaming caught Teruhashi's attention distracting her. Kaidou's cries also brought Hairo, who ran into the school promising to save the person who had screamed.

"Alright, Saiki you're almost there!" Lotus cheered

Saiki was about to switch out his shoes but-

"Heading home Saiki?"

"Reita? Wait he can see Saiki?!"

"I'll walk with you pal." Reita put a hand on Saiki's shoulder making the psychic become visible.

"You idiot!"

"Ah, there he is!" Kaidou, Teruhashi, and Hairo all shouted

"So it's not just ghost. He can see anything invisible."

Saiki was screwed, utterly and totally screwed. He had been cornered by everyone he had tried to avoid and now he was going to miss his show.

"Attention students! Attention students!" A voice sounded over the PA System. "We have an important announcement, can the following students please report to the office Nendou Riki, Kaidou Shun, Teruhashi, Kokomi, and Hairo Kineshi. Those students please report immediately to the office, thank you."

"What?"

"Huh?"

"I wonder why they want us?"

With the announcement, everyone who was crowding Saiki had to leave. Saiki gave a sigh a relief seeing them all go.

"That was sure lucky."

"It wasn't luck."

Saiki turned around and standing behind him was a smiling Lotus.

"Twas I Lotus!" She declared pointing at herself.

"How did you?"

"Why it was quite simple. First I had to clear out the office, the only person who was in there was Coach Matsuzaki. I just told him I saw a suspicious looking character skulking around the school, and he ran out. Then I snuck in found the PA microphone and used an accent to disguise my voice and made the announcement. So now that everyone is gone." Lotus smiled putting a hand on Saiki's shoulder and the two disappeared.

Saiki was surprised when he found himself standing in front of his house.

"Ta-da! I've finally got the art of teleporting down!" Lotus cheered

Saiki was still stunned. "You…"

"I know how you really wanted to get home to see that show and I also saw the trouble you were in when you couldn't get out of the school even with using invisibility. Who knew Reita's powers to see ghost meant he could see invisible things too. So being the amazing friend that I am, I came to your rescue." Lotus smirked. "You can thank me now." She joked

"Thank you."

". . . . Eh?"

"Thank you, Lotus."

Lotus's eyes winded and her jaw started to drop. Saiki thanked her and not with a single hint of sarcasm either, he gave her a genuine thank you.

"Y-Your welcome Saiki. Happy to help." Lotus smiled
