Chapter 1226: Sonan Kyouko
After the Penguins appeared in this world, it might be Kyouko's first time to have another feeling other than revenge and hatred for the Penguin, especially after she had met him.
"Ugh... why is it hard to brush my hair?!"
Looking at her appearance in the mirror, it was Kyouko's first time having a date with the opposite gender. Her father had been traumatized by the Penguin and she didn't have time to go out with anyone so this date invitation made her happy, but her heart felt complex when she remembered the content of conversation between Haru and Kazuo yesterday.
"Harem, huh?"
Kyouko knew that Haru dated his own teacher, and she was wondering whether it was alright to have a date with him, especially when she knew that he had dated someone else.
"Ah! I'm late!"
But then she forgot about that matter and quickly ran out from her apartment ready to meet him at the appointment location!
Kyouko knew that she was late, and ran as fast as possible. She also felt guilty, especially when she saw him there, standing, seemed to have been waiting for her for a long time.
"Haru.... S... sorry to make you waiting...."
Kyouko breathed heavily and leaned forward.
"It's alright. I didn't wait too long, but you should calm your breath first since someone might mistake you as a horny woman in the middle of day," Haru said.
"What give you that idea?!"
"Well, you're breathing that heavily."
"Idiot! I'm trying to catch my breath after running!" Kyouko looked at Haru with a helpless expression.
Haru looked at Kyouko and wondered whether all she had was her working clothes since at this moment, she wore the same suit which she usually wore, however, he had to admit that she was very beautiful and said, "But still, I'm happy that you're not going to hang me up on this date."
"Of - of course! I, I won't do that!"
Kyouko blushed and remembered that she would have a date with him which made her shy. She looked at him and asked, "Is there some place that you want to visit?" Even though Haru was the one who invited her, she was older than him so she tried to be considered at that moment.
"Hmm.... are you alright with karaoke?" Haru asked.
"Karaoke?" Kyouko was a bit surprised since she didn't expect him to want to go to the karaoke, but she thought for a while and nodded. "Follow me! I know a good place for karaoke."
"Have you come to that place?" Haru asked.
"No, I've only seen advertis.e.m.e.nts in the past," Kyouko said.
"........"
Haru was speechless and wondered whether all the thing on Kyouko's head was her revenge against the Penguins. He walked beside him and said, "Today, let's sing all we want!"
"Oh!" Kyouko wasn't sure, but she also felt excited at that moment.
Haru and Kyouko entered the karaoke together and he ordered some food, then he noticed Kyouko who seemed to be watching the list of the song intensely.
"Do you want to sing first?" Haru asked.
Kyouko looked at Haru and asked, "Have you chosen the song?"
"Well, I'll choose a random song."
Haru read the list of the song and chose a song with the title of "Kenzen Robo Daimidaler".
"Ah! I know this song!" Kyouko exclaimed.
"Really?"
"Yes! The professor was the one who made this song!" Kyouko said.
"Really?"
Haru was surprised, but then he was wondering what kind of song it was.
Even though he didn't know the song, there was a lyric on the screen inside the karaoke room so he didn't need to worry that he couldn't sing the song and he was quite good at singing so he didn't need to worry, right?
"Then how about we sing together?" Haru asked.
"Sure!" Kyouko nodded.
(BGM: Kenzen Robo Daimidaler - Endoukai).
"........"
"Deliver Hi-Ero Particles to Heaven
Full Burst Burn
Protect the Future of S.e.xual Desire
Sound Robot Daimidaler."
Looking at Kyouko who memorized the song, Haru had to admit that this woman was very funny. Even though the title and the lyrics were quite strange, he had to admit that it was a very good song, really.
After they had sung karaoke, the relationship between Haru and Kyouko became closer and they talked to each other while laughing.
"Is there some place that you want to visit?" Haru asked.
When she was asked by Haru, Kyouko was a bit surprised, but she thought for a while and nodded.
"Yes, can you follow me?"
"The sea, huh?"
Haru looked at the blue ocean right in front of him, he remembered that he often brought his heroines to the beach and ocean so he wasn't that surprised.
"You don't like it?" Kyouko asked.
"No, I love the ocean. When you gaze across, it calms you down," Haru said. He somehow also felt that it was quite nostalgic. Then he looked at Kyouko and asked, "So what about you? You've brought me here so I guess you love to gaze into the ocean?"
"What I dreamt was something of happiness. What I wished for was something of love. Beyond that mountain is a quiet town. And on sunny Sundays, the sky is blue." Kyouko stared at the ocean and shook her head. She looked at him and smiled. "My father used to recite that as he gazed across the ocean. I guess it rubbed off on me."
"So your reason to work at the Beauty Salon PRINCE was because of your father?" Haru asked.
Kyouko had her flashback scene on the last chapter so Haru understood what had happened to Kyouko's father and at how she hated the Penguins.
"That might be one of the reasons but..." Kyouko gazed across the sea and said, "This person, that person, and the people who aren't here all have a family. And each of them provides a small piece of happiness. It's my job to protect that happiness. I hope that I am helping them, even if only a little bit." She started to get melancholy and felt lonely since she didn't have anyone that she could depend upon, but suddenly she felt that her head was being patted.
"Haru?"
"You're a good woman, Kyouko. You've done well over the past few years and I am sure even if they don't notice your hard work, they're grateful for what you've done for them," Haru said while patting Kyouko's head. He had to admit that this woman was very good and he also understood that she was very lonely since in the past two years all she had done was work on the Beauty Salon PRINCE to fight against the Penguins. She also even needed to take care of her father who was bedridden in the hospital because he was being traumatized by the Penguins' "front-tail dance".
Haru didn't see her complain nor annoyed which made her realize that Kyouko was a good woman.
"If someone marries you in the future, then I'm sure that person will be very happy."
Kyouko blushed and didn't dare to look at him. Even though Haru was several years younger than her, she felt that he was very dependable and she could trust him. She became even more shy when he praised her for becoming a good wife. She looked at him shyly and asked, "Haru, can I have a request?"
"Sure, as long as it is within my power then I'll try," Haru said.
"Can you hug me like you usually do?" Kyouko asked. Haru often hugged her inside the Daimidaler to power-up and she loved the feeling of being hugged by him.
"Like this?"
Haru hugged Kyouko in his arms naturally.
Kyouko who was being hugged was a bit surprised, but then she felt very comfortable. She also hugged him back and smelled his smell which calmed her down.
"How is it?"
"It's better."
"How so?"
"There is no hard rod that touches my butt."
"......."
Haru twitched his lips and didn't say anything since it was his fault for not being able to hold his s.e.x.u.a.l drive.
"Haru."
"Hmm?"
"Thank you for being the Daimidaler's pilot."
"No, I should be the one who should be grateful since without you, I can't defeat the Penguins. You're an important existence for me, Kyouko," Haru said, staring at the face of this beautiful woman.
"Haru...." Kyouko stared at Haru with a light blush on her cheeks.
Haru also stared at Kyouko.
Both of them stared at each other and they were about to move closer before....
*Beep!* *Beep!*
"Sonan! Kasugano! Hurry up and return to headquarters! The Penguins have come to attack!"
"........"
Kyouko hurriedly looked away since she was very shy at that moment. She held her cheeks and felt hot since she didn't believe what she was about to do.
However, Haru was very annoyed. He was annoyed at the Penguins, but he was also annoyed at Kazuo, who suddenly disturbed their moment!
"Those damnable penguins!"
Haru held Kyouko's hand and said, "Kyouko. Let's go."
"Um! Let's go!"
Kyouko looked at the hand that held her hand, and hoped that their relationship could stay forever.
Kyouko also might be selfish, but she hoped that their relationship would be more than a mere work colleague...
