Chapter 11

The moment Miu barked at us to leave, I dashed to my room, wanting to not smell like dog.

"I can't believe I fell asleep in Miu's lab. I don't even remember when that happened." I thought aloud as I hopped in the shower. I took the time to get clean, get dressed, and look at the clock. It was nine forty five.

"Oof, I'm so late for breakfast. I bet everyone has finished already." I said. My stomach gave a low, angry growl, making me whimper.

"Breakfaaaast...." I whined. There was a knock at my door, making me tilt my head.

"Hmm? That Gonta? Or maybe it's Miu about to kick my ass....or attempt to kick my ass." I thought with a smirk. I skipped over to the door and swung it open.

"Helloooo- hm? Kirumi? Wasn't expecting to see you." I said. The Ultimate Maid smiled. "Well, I noticed you did not attend with us at the dining hall, and was informed of your activities last night. So, I figured you must be hungry." She explained.....holding out a steaming stack of buttermilk pancakes with thick syrup.

"BREAKFAST!!" I happily took the stack and began to munch away, humming happily.

"Mmmmm! Oh my God that hits the spot! Thanks Kirumi!" I said.

"It was nothing, I simply wished to serve. However, there was something I wanted to ask," Kirumi said, her smile drooping, "What were you doing in Miu's lab?"

"Oh, Gonta and I *bite* broke inside to *bite* see her inventions. I found *bite* a box of them, but they *bite* were labeled as scrapped. But I fixed *bite* all of them last night. Miu got *bite* pretty paused about it, and shooed us out this morning." I explained as I ate.

"Scrapped inventions?" Kirumi asked. I wiped my mouth, licking syrup off my lips.

"Yeah, but they weren't even broken. There was just a few details missed. Wrong connected wires, loose screws, wrong batteries. I pointed this out to Miu, and she exploded."

"I see. That's why she is so upset." Kirumi said. I tilted my head. "Upset?" I said.

"Indeed. Try to think through her perspective. She made these complex inventions, but assumed they were useless. However you come along, fix them with ease, and correct her on it. Do you not think, as the Ultimate Inventor, she would feel embarrassed?" Kirumi asked. I placed a hand on my chin.

"Hmm, I guess. But I mean, it's just small details. She'd get upset over that?" I said.

"Perhaps to anyone else, it wouldn't be such a big deal. However, she is sensitive as it is, and carries a lot of confidence in her talents. So I imagine your actions must've upset her." Kirumi said. She took my now empty plate and utensils.

"You should consider apologizing to her."

I placed my hands on my hips. "Oh yeah? For what?" I asked.

"For entering her lab without permission for starters. And for insulting her this morning. Keebo explained to us exactly what you said to her." Kirumi stated sternly.

"Geez, she's scary when she's in 'mom' mode...." I muttered.

"What was that?" Kirumi said.

"Nothingthankyouforbreakfast." I said waaay to fast. Kirumi's friendly smile returned. "It was no problem." She replied, then turned and left. The moment she was out of the dormitory I sighed.

"Whatever, guess I'll go apologize to Miu. Only to get mom off my back, though."   

*    *    *    *

I walked down the hallway, resting my hands behind my neck. "You sure Miu and Kee-boy went this way?" I asked Gonta, looking over at him.

"Yes, Gonta saw both of them at computer room." Gonta replied. We came to the entrance to the computer room, but Gonta paused.

"Gonta feel bad for entering Miu's lab. Think Miu still mad?" Gonta asked nervously.

"Definitely, but she's probably more mad at me than you, so you should be fine." I replied. I opened the door and we went inside.

"GOD FUCKING DAMN IT!!!!"

Gonta and I jumped, completely shook. Miu was sitting at a table, examining....a box? No, it looked a lot more like a radio. Anyway, Miu was shaking it, growling.

"Why won't this fucking thing work?!" Miu snapped. Keebo, who was standing beside her, looked a bit panicked.

"Miu, calm down. Maybe just do another examination. Perhaps you missed something." He said.

"I already did dumbass. I didn't miss anything. This damn thing is just a piece of shit!" Miu stated. I smirked, placing my hands on my hips.

"You sure about that?" I asked. Both of them snapped their heads to us.

"Kokichi?" Keebo said. Miu narrowed her eyes at me.

"Fuck off."

"Oh my, that's not very nice to say. You're gonna huwt my feewings!" I said mockingly. A hop, a skip, and I was at the table. "But, back on topic, what is this little contraption?" I asked, staring at it curiously.

"Since when is that your damn business?" Miu asked. "Since I won't leave till you tell me what it is." I said. She rolled her eyes and sighed.

"Its suppose to be a radio that can create its own songs. You can pick whatever genre you want, and can even save music. But all that comes out is static." Miu explained.

"And you're suuuure you can't fix it?" I said.

"No, I can't." Miu stated. "So it's scrap then, just like those other inventions I got working." I said. Miu shot a glare at me. Keebo frowned.

"She worked very hard on those! She always tries her best!" He stated.

"Well obviously the stupid bitchlet here didn't try hard enough." I replied. The girl looked at me wide eyed, her face flushed pink.

"Kokichi, that not nice! Gentlemen never insult women!" Gonta stated. "Unfortunately Gonta, unlike you, I am not a gentleman." I stated. Keebo crossed his arms across his chest, giving me a dirty look.

"Even so-"

"You wanna be a cocky bastard, fine!" Miu snapped. She shoved the radio towards me, along with a few tools. "I'd like to see you fix it, since apparently you have the balls to insult me, the super genius girl, Miu Iruma!" She stated. I looked at her surprised.....then put on a wicked grin.

"Nee-heehee, how very interesting~ In fact, I have an idea. How about a little wager?" I asked. Miu raised a brow.

"Wager, huh? I'm listening."

"Its simple. If I can't fix your radio, I'll admit that this kind of work is more difficult then I thought-"

"No! If you can't fix it, I want you to go down on your fucking knees, say that Miu Iruma is the greatest fucking inventor, and then beg me for forgiveness! " Miu stated. My smirk widened.

"Very well. However, if I do fix the radio, then you have to admit you suck as an inventor and that I am the most ultimate supreme leader ever." Miu sneered.

"What? Don't want me on my knees or something?"

"Neh. It'll be enough to hear you say that." I stated. I held out a hand. "Deal?" I asked. Miu looked down at my hand, seeming hesitant.

"What? Gonna flake out now? Don't tell me you're a scared pussy cat." I stated. Miu growled and firmly grasped my hand, shaking it.

"Its a fucking deal."

Gonta and Keebo looked at each other nervously. I nodded and looked at the radio, popping out the lid and started to tinker. Miu snickered.

"Good luck though. It's pretty advanced technology. Only I am familiar with it-"

"Done!"

"WHAT?!" I hummed happily as I set the radio down, selected a genre of music, and turned it on. A hip hop song began to play, one I've never heard. Gonta and Keebo looked at me astonished. Miu just stared at the radio, eyes wide.

"B-But....how...." She said weakly.

"You put the computer chip in the wrong slot, dumbass." I chirped. I rested my cheek in my palm, wearing a smug expression.

"Well? You gonna say it or not?" I asked. Keebo walked over to me. "Kokichi, you're not really gonna make her-"

"Shh!" I stated, holding up a hand to his face, "I want to hear her say it."

Miu looked down, a shadow casting over her eyes. She had her hands on her lap, clenched tightly into fists. Her form began to tremble slightly. I continued to wait, feeling impatient. "Miu Iruma, I'm waiting."

"....fine." Miu said. Keebo looked over at her.

"Miu, you don't have to-"

"I....I-I suck as an inventor, and you are the most Ultimate Supreme Leader. " Miu said. Her tone was weak and shaky, like she was about to cry. My grin vanished, and I sat up.

"Miu?" Tears started to stream down her cheeks.

"There? That what you wanted to hear? You bastard...." She turned the radio off, stood up, and bolted out of the room. Keebo reached a hand out towards her.

"Miu wait!" He called. But it was too late. She was gone. Keebo frowned, then turned to face me.

"That was very unnecessary Kokichi. She hasn't done anything to you. So why treat her like that?!" He snapped. I flinched. Keebo has never yelled at me before. Why is he so upset?

The Ultimate Robot sighed and left the room, going after Miu. Gonta and I just stood there, dumbfounded. It felt somewhat awkward, but eventually Gonta broke it.

"That not nice Kokichi."

"I didn't know she was gonna cry! Girls are just too sensitive!" I stated in defense. But that didn't make me feel any less guilty. I didn't intend on breaking Miu like that, but she was annoying the hell outta me. Was she that embarrassed though.....

Suddenly Gonta grabbed my arm and began to drag me away, making me yelp.

"Hey! What the- where are we going?!"

"Gonta take you to Miu. Kokichi apologize to her."

*    *    *    *

"Gonta, she won't even want to see me. Let's just leave her alone." I said as he dragged me out onto the court yard, heading towards her lab.

"No, Kokichi need to apologize to Miu." Gonta stated.

He walked over to the door and reached out to grab the door knob. "Miu, that isn't true." Gonta and I both froze upon hearing Keebo's voice. I pulled away from Gonta's grip and opened the door a tiny bit.

Miu was slouched over her desk, looking at one of her tools with sad, teary eyes. Keebo stood beside her, a hand on her shoulder.

"Ignore Kokichi. You are a great inventor! You made these amazing machines! And your knowledge of them far exceeds Kokichi's." He stated.

"Yeah, and yet I keep overlooking such simple problems that a fucking child could see." Miu spat.

"That.....that doesn't matter. Everyone makes mistakes! Trust me, you have an amazing talent!" Keebo stated. Miu's eyes narrowed on the tool she held. She turned it over, staring at it with such deep thought. As if.....deciding.

".....no. I'm done inventing."
