Shirn: We're back at square 1, huh?

?th Kinen: Voice Skill: FREEZE!

Shirn: (deflects it away with a mirror) And there's you again. Anyway, you know where the Vanatitanium Rods are at?

?th Kinen: Give me Malvar, and I'll talk.

Shirn: How about... no.

?th Kinen: Not saying it then. You're on your own.

Shirn: How about this... (Starts to lower the temperature around her)

?th Kinen: How.... that's..... Frost's skill....

Shirn: Don't underestimate the powers of an author.

?th Kinen: Okay, I'll talk, I'll talk!!! Just stop freezing my body!!!

Shirn: Oh, that's good to know then. (Starts to heat the temperature enough to melt the ice and frost) Don't do anything strange, and I'll paralyze you again.

?th Kinen: You psycho....

Shirn: Keep calling me that, Kinen, maybe I'll be offended by that sooner or later. Anyway, location, now.

?th Kinen: I'm unsure about this, but it's either in the science lab at the first floor, or the basement. Happy now?

Shirn: Nope, I think the perfect term is; pleased.

?th Kinen: You're seriously a psychopath.

Shirn: It's obvious, isn't it? I'm a psycho, even more psychotic than Cykopath and Scythe Ripper! Anyway, adieu. (walks away)

?th Kinen: (contacts literally everyone) Everyone, I've found ourselves a formidable enemy, and he's heading to the science lab and the basement! He's able to use Frost and Efreet's skill, but be wary of him! I think he has Copy.

Shirn: So... As an overpowered character, where should I go.... I know. The basement. I'm gonna check there first.

While going there.

Shirn: Oh, why if it isn't Naomi and Kuku?

?th Naomi: We won't let you pass.

Shirn: (teleports behind them) I just did. (walks away)

?th Kuku: 😒 Man, that guy's like that Akabane.

?th Naomi: The nerve of that guy... (summons paper fans) I'm gonna give him a good whacking!

Shirn: (stops for a sec and turns) Oh, they're really pissed off. Just as planned to get myself motivated. I'm all fired up!

?th Kuku: Say your prayers, jerk! (Summons knives, and charges at Shirn)

Shirn: (summons a megaphone) Wonder how powerful Kinen's skill is. SWITCH!! (switches places with Naomi)

?th Kuku: (attacks Naomi instead of Shirn) Ugh! What happened?

?th Naomi: He just switched places with me....

Shirn: To be honest, this is the first time I'm showing my true self to anyone. An annoying person.

?th Naomi and Kuku: You can say that again. (Charges at him)

Shirn: (tanks the hits) And FORE!! (whacks them both to the wall with a pillow) Ooh... a hole in one. (chuckles)

?th Naomi: Retreat...

?th Kuku: He's too powerful...

Shirn: I'm kinda starting to regret this idea to fight them. Since they're girls and all. Anyway... (throws a healing potion at the two of them, and runs away) I just noticed something. How come they aren't targeting me? I'm a male too.

Meanwhile...

?th Naomi: He healed us???

?th Kuku: But we're his enemies, why would he heal us??

?th Naomi: I'm not feeling any weird side-effects, other than wanting to befreind the goddesses... Wait, what did I just say???

?th Kuku: (picks up a glass shard) Calming Heal Potion. That's new to me.

?th Naomi: Kuku, I suddenly had a theory why that male's here.

?th Kuku: Spill it, whacker.

?th Naomi: Shut up. Maybe he's planning to make us closer to Malvar and his girlfriends, by removing our intention to take him for ourselves. But for some reason, if I did made friends with them, it feels like...

?th Kuku: Like what?

?th Naomi: Like... I don't want to let go of that bond. Ever. Don't you feel the same too?

?th Kuku: Yeah, I'm kinda feeling it as well. Weird, isn't it?

?th Naomi: Agreed.

Back to Shirn....

Shirn: (overhears the conversation) Seems like my beta potion's working. Anyway, basement, here I go!

At the basement....

Shirn: (sees a bunch of bluish white metal rods at the corner) Maybe that's the Vanatitanium rods. Let's see... I'll be needing three. I'll make it six, just in case. And so far, something wrong here. This is too easy to get, and no one's guarding this place. (Was about to go outside, when..) And there we go.

?th Yuri: We're not letting you escape this room...

?th Sayori: ....

Shirn: See ya! (Jumps in a portal)

?th Yuri: 😲 AAHHH!!! HE ESCAPED!!!

?th Sayori: (laughing) Oh the irony!! Ahahahahaha!!!! I can't.... I can't breathe.... You said you won't let him escape, Yuri..... but he easily escaped!!! Ahahahahahaha!!!

?th Yuri: Shut your mouth! (Hits Sayori's head)

?th Sayori: OW!! That hurts, Yuri!

Science Lab...

?th Natsuki: No one's coming...

?th Monika: I'm sure there was a ruckus up in the second floor, though.

With Shirn...

Shirn: That was really hilarious! (reminds himself) So Naomi has the ability to summon paper fans, same to Kuku, but it's knives. But I think there's more to that. (Looks around) Looks like I'm at... Hope's Peak?? So, the school I was in that time was.... Gacha High??? (Looks down, and sees Luni causing mayhem everywhere) Wonder if I threw a duck at her. (Creates a large rubber ducky) HEY, LUNI!!!

?th Luni: (looks up) WHAT???

Shirn: DUCK!!

?th Luni: Duck?? Where??? (Gets violently hit by the rubber duck) Ow. Oh, that kind of duck.

Shirn: (laughing at her demise) That one was priceless!

?th Luni: Dammit.

Shirn: (jumps down) So, since you're the first person I met, do you know where the FerroZirconium Bars are??

?th Luni: Sure, in one condition.

Shirn: What? Just like that?

?th Luni: Yeah, I'm bored, anyway. My condition is: Let me talk to Soulmire.

Shirn: I also have a condition.

?th Luni: Okay, what would that be?

Shirn: Repair Xav's laboratory.

?th Luni: Only that? Okay, I'm doing it. Anyway, the location, right? Inside the kitchen, disguised as watermelons.

Shirn: Let's go then. You can get to talk with Soulmire as much as you want, but no dirty business.

?th Luni: Alright, alright. Can I keep the ducky, though?

Shirn: Sure, knock yourself out.

?th Luni: Wait a sec. Creation Skill: Life. (turns the giant rubber duck into a real living duck) Hop on!! We're charging in the place!! 😁

Shirn: (gets on the duck)

?th Luni: Hold on tight, this is going to be a bumpy ride!!

Shirn: (holds on to Luni's waist) Just to be safe.. Just to be safe!!!

?th Luni: I still prefer Malvar hugging me like that, but... meh. He's just holding on for his life, anyway. Now, mah duckeh warrior!!! CHHHAAAAARRRGGGEEE!!!!!

Duck: Quack!!! (Headbutts through the walls of Hope's peak) Quack!!!

?th Luni: Here we are, the kitchen...

???: What the f**king hell??

?th Luni: Oh shoot, I can't believe it's not Mondo!! Oh, hello, Buttergirl.

?th Mondo: Stop calling me that, for f**ks sake.

Shirn: I need just one, but two will suffice, I guess?  (Takes two watermelons, and puts them in his bag) There we go. (Gets on Daisy/Duck) Luni! Just one more ingredient, and let's go see Soulmire!

?th Luni: Oh, okay then!

?th Mondo: Hey, take me with you! It's f**king boring here, without Ishimaru.

Shirn: Oh, hello. Wait, why didn't you change your names?

?th Mondo: Cause we f**king like our names, okay? Despite being a female now.

?th Luni: Hey, you. (Points at Shirn)

Shirn: It's Shirn, damn it.

?th Luni: Okay. Anyway, you can't believe what this girl's power is!

Shirn: What is it? And I'm kinda smelling butter around here.

?th Luni: That's her power. Her body is literally made out of butter. Even her tears, blood and sweat. And she can't feel pain at all, but in certain conditions.

Timeskip.

?th Luni: I think this is where the last material is. California Beach.

Shirn: (blushes really mad) Are you kidding me?? I'm not going over there!!

?th Luni: But, isn't this a man's paradise?

Shirn: Only if I'm a pervert. I'd prefer a sea of jawbreakers as my definition of paradise.

?th Mondo: We'll just get it instead. What's the f**king material, anyway?

Shirn: AuruAgrentum Bars. And I need 5, no 10 of them.

?th Luni: We're on it. So, for the time being, hide yourself, since you're an only male in a beach full of females who wants to have s*x right on the spot.

Shirn: (notices an empty food cart) I have an idea. Go gets the bars, please.

While the two gets the bars.. (which was in the form of beach balls, strangely)

Shirn: Looks like this is a shake foodcart, huh? I can't believe I'm doing this bullcrap, even though I volunteered. (Creates a wig, and a translator) This should do enough. (Sets the translator into a female voice) Hello? God, this is awfully weird. (puts on the wig, and changes clothes) (looks in the mirror) Looks convincing enough. Anyway...

A few minutes later...

Shirn: Can I have your order?

Girl 1: Can I have three mango shakes?

Shirn: Please wait a second. (Prepares the shakes, and unintentionally performs an act while he's at it) Here, you go. Three mango shakes. Can you take a sip, and tell me on how did I do?

Girl 1: (takes a sip) WHOA!!! THIS IS GOOD!!

Girl 2: If I were a food critic, I'm rating this 9/10!

Later...

Crowd: (in front of Shirn's food cart)

Shirn: (preparing shakes at an tremendous speed)

?th Luni: Looks like he's enjoying himself, huh?

?th Mondo: Seems like it. Since we have an hour left, let's join in.

An hour later...

?th Luni: Looks like you enjoyed yourself, huh, Phoenix??

Shirn: Stop calling me that. That's my genderbend name, alright?

?th Luni: Anyway, since we're the last customers, I'm having a cafe latte shake.

?th Mondo: For me... I guess strawberry.

Shirn: (removes the wig) I have three more bottles, might as well make one for myself. Anyway, did you get it?

?th Luni: Yep. It's on Daisy.

Shirn: Call her over. We're teleporting to Soulmire's.

One Teleportation Skill Later...

Shirn: I got the materials! And a few allies.

Xav: That's- (sees Luni) You destroyer!! (Was about the lunge at Luni, but Shirn froze her, Dracula style)

Shirn: Chill down, Xav. I already asked her to repair the lab.

Soulmire: Shirn, you got the materials? (sees Luni and Mondo) Why are these two here?

Shirn: Luni wants to talk to you. (unfreezes Xav)

Soulmire: What about her. (Points at Mondo)

?th Mondo: I already surrendered. Besides my power isn't really that helpful, unless it's for cooking and breakfast.

Soulmire: But you can use butter to move faster, Mondo.

?th Mondo: Eehhh? I didn't realize that!!

Soulmire: Anyway... (drags Luni inside her room) Oh yeah. Shirn, wait for a few days okay?

Shirn: Okay. I'm a patient person. I can wait.

Inside her room...

Soulmire: So, what you want to talk about?

?th Luni: Oh right. It's Aoi.

Soulmire: The swimmer Aoi, or Aoi Asahina?

?th Luni: Our Aoi.

Soulmire: Oh. What about her.

?th Luni: From what I heard from Lilith, she's out of control. And by out of control, she's causing thousands of deaths in America. And she won't stop unless she has him.

Soulmire: That disaster....

?th Luni: But, she stopped for now, and gave us three choices. It's either:

A. Give Malvar to her
B. Let her cause more deaths
C. Let her in the harem

?th Luni: And I'm pretty sure you hate her to the core since she flooded the town four months ago, almost killing your citizens. So, Soulmire. What will you choose??

Soulmire: I choose to.....

Whoops. We'll let her choose in the comments. Sorry for the cliffhanger, though. Oh yeah, just to let you know. Aoi of Gacha World can technically create water related natural disasters, like typhoons/hurricanes/cyclones, rain shower, tsunami, floods but she's unable to create snowstorms and hailstorms, despite it being frozen water.

Meanwhile....

Xav: (being like this) THANK YOU LUNEH!!! MY LAB IS FIXED!!!!
