Chapter 4
click“Good morning everyone! It is now 7am and nighttime is finally over! Please do have an amazing day!!”click
It felt nice to wake up, holding someone to what felt like a normal school wakeup call- that is, until he remembered where he was and who was in his bed.
His face glowing red, he let go awkwardly, “S-sorry!” he yelped, sitting up.
“I-it’s...It’s fine,” Nagito sat up with a pink face, “U-uhm...Let’s go… I think the restaurant is gonna be our meeting place in the morning or something…”
Nodding, Hajime got up and headed out with Nagito, still rather flustered. When they arrived at the restaurant, Hajime got some food and moved to sit down at a table where Chiaki and Kazuichi were since the other tables seemed really full. He expected Nagito to join him, but Nagito simply stood to the side, eyes scanning everyone with a small smile.
Deciding to just brush it off, he looked to Chiaki and Kazuichi, “Erm… Hello” he greeted.
“‘Sup,” Kazuichi said, playing with his food.
“.........Hi” Chiaki said sleepily, scrolling through her camera roll.
The table went silent for a bit, before Kazuichi unsurely started up some friendly chat that Hajime joined in on, with the occasional sleepy comments from Chiaki, which eventually turned into a full-on conversation you’d probably have with a best friend group and not a couple of strangers.
“Everyone!” Twogami boomed before anyone could leave, “Before we depart, I have an announcement!”
Everyone immediately went silent, watching Twogami as he continued, “Under these circumstances, I believe it is best if we choose a leader… And I believe I am the best fitting for this role” he said curtly.
“Hmph! That is unfair!” Mahiru called out, “You’re rude, and also being very pushy! I believe we should take a vote if we’re going to choose a leader- and I think that a rude and pushy guy shouldn’t be voted!!”
Nagito almost immediately jumped in, “Voting is a good idea, Miss Koizumi, but don’t you think the very fact he volunteered to be a leader in such a stressful situation is proof that he’s worthy enough… Not to mention the fact that he is the ultimate coach, which fits best.. Unless anyone else wishes to take full control and responsibility, I believe we should believe in Twogami and take him up on it…”
Everyone went quiet. Nobody else was really willing for all that weight on their shoulders.
“W-well...I suppose I see your point…” Mahiru mumbled
“Keheheh...It appears that we have ourselves the perfect candidate to rule us through troubling times. If you seek leading aid, do not be afraid to consult the dark lord,” Gundham stated dramatically.
“Oh, shut up with that stupid language already!! You raise animals for a living!” Hiyoko snapped.
“P-princess,” Mikan said quietly, “P-please, calm down-”
“Ugh- shut up, you stupid pig!” she snapped, making Mikan whimper.
“Hehe! So now we have a leader! Coolio!!!” Ibuki grinned
“I promise… No harm shall come to any of you while I am the leader,” He stated importantly.
Kazuichi looked puzzled, “How the hell can ya ensure a promise like that?”
“Because I will back it up by any means necessary… Even if that means is my life,” Twogami stated, “That is final. Now, we may depart,” with that, he left.
“Jeez… Men can get pushy…” Akane mumbled, eating more. Jesus, how much can this girl eat?
“Well..That’s how we get things done...In more ways than one~” Teruteru snickered, petting Buzo’s white fur.
“Ewww… Perveerrrrt” Hiyoko stuck her tongue out with a cringe and Teruteru grinned.
