Ch. 66.5 - The Calm before the Storm

Sept 28, 2020 11:50 PM

"Hrnngh...."

I put my left foot on top of my right thigh and I tapped my right heel on the ground repeatedly. I crossed my arms and looked at the portal where I only saw the window of their room, seeing some buildings with moonlight reflecting on the sides of the buildings across the street and also coming in from the window. I could only hear some giggles and chatters.

"It's literally been 30 minutes since they dressed up..."

... They're not having sex, right?

"No 3x, if that's the case, I'd be hearing moans..."

...Ugh. Welp, that's girls. Guess I'll have to wait a bit more.

I looked up, then to my right, then to my left, and finally, the floor.

I started thinking of ideas for another "Past Problems" song.

I wasn't thinking of lines, but rather, thinking of other songs I can take inspiration from.

I thought of this after a while:

https://youtu.be/50VNCymT-Cs

The intro of the start sounded good for a sad song.

"Hmm. Hm hm hmm hmmm hmmm. Hmm. Hm hm hmm hmmm hmmm."

"I used to be a happy child with 2 happy parents-"

...My heart...it's beating faster.

It felt like my lungs and stomach tightened, like I couldn't breathe. I can feel my face getting sweatier, and I stopped fidgeting with my foot. My hands started shaking like I've never eaten since breakfast.

...

"WHY IS YOUR GRADE 99?! AREN'T YOU SUPPOSED TO BE SMART?!"

I'm not a robot...

"What a fatty! Hahaha!"

Shut up....

"Hahaha! What a f*g of a son! Crying over getting a knife held against your throat!"

SHUT UP! SHUT THE FUCK UP-

"...mada...? Yamada?"

I gasped, and looked around quickly before landing my eye on a girl wearing glasses that was waving her hand in front of me.

"What's wrong? Your face looks really tense. You stared at the door quite strangely, like you had a grudge on somebody."

I looked up at Christina.

"N-Nothing." I giggled nervously.

I smiled, hoping she would buy it, and just to fake the happiness, hoping that I'll be happy later on...well, it won't last long once we finally arrive there.

I stood up, and stretched a bit.

"You two look pretty." I chuckled.

I looked at Christina who was wearing a white shirt with black polka dots, and light blue jeans. I switched my gaze at Iris, and she wore a black shirt with white polka dots, and she wore dark jeans. Christina had a Waterfall Braid hairstyle, and Iris had a Dutch French Braid hairstyle.

"You two wore matching outfits, huh?"

It's rather simple...

"Oo! (Yeah!) Do we look good together?" Iris asked.

I nodded.

"Though..."

I crossed my arms.

"If you wore something that simple, why the hell did you two take a lot of time?" I deadpanned.

"Well, tidying up our hair, wearing earrings, and also cause we needed to put lipstick and some powder-" I cut off Christina.

"Yeah yeah yea yea. Whatever. Though, this is supposed to be a war, not a formal meeting. Why did you even bother?"

Christina and Iris sighed and crossed their arms.

"Men." Christina said.

"Huh?"

"Yeah, men." Iris said.

"Eh...?"

"Even Iris, a tomboy? Well...ugh, whatever. Reading their minds is too troublesome right now. A waste of energy."

I sighed.

"Whatever, we're going to the building now, okay?"

They both nodded.

"Have you called a taxi?" Iris asked.

"Who needs a taxi when you can make portals?" I said while making a portal that led to the front of the meeting room, showing the bright moonlight going through the glass windows behind the portal.

"A-Ah, yeah..." They sweat dropped.

"C'mon, let's go to there now and meet the others."

They nodded.

We went through the portal, and we stopped in front of the meeting room.

They followed, but I had to hold their hands. Iris went through normally while holding my hand, but then came Christina.

"C'mon...don't rush it." I deadpanned.

"I'm short, okay?" She pouted.

"You're short, but that's not a valid excuse. Even Iris who's just a few centimeters taller than you was able to get through. That shouldn't make too much of a difference."

"IT DOES!"

She put one foot over the portal, and then put her other foot through, but she leaned forward too much.

"W-Wah!"

"Oi! Be careful, I said-"

I held her right shoulder, making her fall into my chest, and practically holding me tight to keep her balance. She was in an awkward bowing position.

"I told you to not rush it."

I closed the portal, and I pulled her up.

"Okay ka na, Christina? (You okay now, Christina?)"

"Oo, salamat. (Yeah, thank you.)"

I looked at my left, and saw a huge crowd of people that looked too familiar to their character in Vtubing.

"This instantly turned awkward." I sweat dropped.

I released Christina's hands, and walked a bit to my left.

"Minna."

I bowed up to my hips.

"Thank you for coming here tonight. I'm sorry to bother you, but I hope that Hoshikawa and Ui have informed you all about the situation."

They all nodded.

"Wait for a moment, please. Let me inform the Hololivers that I have arrived." I said.

I went to Christina and Iris, and I opened the meeting room's door.

I saw the Japanese, Chinese, English, and Indonesian.

"Ah, everybody's here. Good."

"Ano....Yamada?" Rushia asked.

"Hmm?"

"Who're those 2 girls?"

I jumped a bit. Not because she questioned as to who Christina and Iris is, but I feel like, if I don't answer her questions within the next 3 seconds, I'm dead, then I'll be revived afterwards, whether from Kiara's gift or from Rushia, then die again, and the cycle'll continue.

I saw most of the girls looking at me with the same aura as Rushia, but a few of them were confused. The boys either tilted their heads or leaned on one hand, or they just stayed with the same position they had earlier.

"Ano...this girl is Christina. She's my 2nd ex-girlfriend back in high school in the Philippines." I said while pointing my palm at Christina.

"EX-GIRLFRIEND?!" They all shouted.

"Nn. This other girl that's beside Christina is Christina's present girlfriend, Iris."

Sora's POV

I groaned silently.

"So that girl was his ex...? No wonder he chose her...she's so pretty...."

I instantly got hit with an imaginary tidal wave of depression as I looked down on the table.

"...Are we even worth it...?"

Yamada's POV

"W-What's wrong with you all...?" I sweat dropped.

"Nothing..." Most of the girls said.

They looked at the two, and Christina stood behind Iris while holding her arms.

"U-Um...K-Kounnichiwa! I'm Iris! Y-Yoroushko onigaishimas!" Iris said while her voice occasionally wavered.

"Don't mind them. They don't bite " I chuckled.

Well...at least not for you....

"Where's Old Man Yagoo?" I asked the girls.

"He's in the office right now. Don't know what's happening, but he was really busy, judging that he sounded like a crazy man talking to the phone while the door was locked." Coco said.

"Huh. Well, seems he's busy with his stuff too." I sweat dropped.

Anyway, it's time to do this shit. Let's go!

I leaned on one of the doors, and crossed my arms while also crossing my legs and closing my eyes.

I tethered my mind to everybody, starting from the Hololivers, then the couple, and finally the Nijisanji and other Vtubers that were acquainted with the Hololivers.

"Everybody, can you hear my voice?"

I can hear everybody except the Hololivers and Holostars gasp.

"Y-You can do-"

"Yeah 3x, I can do telepathy, Christina. Anyway, here's the thing, everybody. It's closing in at midnight, and right now, the crime movement is about to start. Potentially, some of them are gonna aim for your families or loved ones, so my sensei has sent them clones to watch over them. Expect a 'doppelganger'  to help you all in battle."

"For those of you who want to protect the Hololivers, then feel free to come in the meeting room now, but for those of you who want to protect your families, the company, or whoever or whatever you want to protect, then feel free to stay outside the room. I'm opening up a couple of portals that lead to the top of tall buildings in different prefectures. So, those that want to protect the Hololivers, come in the room now, please."

I opened my eyes, and heard a few footsteps, and a few "excuse me"'s as I heard some shuffling from the crowd. 

"I expected so."

The ones that came in the room were the ones that have been collabing with them a lot. Tamaki, Hoshikawa, Kotone, and a couple more girls.

"This just made me realize there are way more girls than there are boys in the Vtubing community..." I said while making sure to cut my tether.

I waited for everybody to get in their position while looking at me. They weren't really too serious though. They looked at me with a slight frown, and either fidgeting, holding their other arm, or looking at other places then back to me.

"Okay...everybody is there..."

I started breathing a bit heavily, and tightening my grip.

"Now...um...I'll be giving you all something. Give me a moment, please. This'll be quick..."

I thought up the process again for materializing Hoshikawa, Ui, and Anemachi's necklace, and I started with the Hololivers while activating Aki's eyes. I rounded it off to 60, and I started making it, but on top of the table for now. 

After I heard metal clanging on the table, I opened my eyes, used "Telekinesis" and moved it on top of the Hololivers' heads, and then put it on their necks. I also made sure to move the girls' hair up just so that it can fit properly.

I counted the ones that'll help the Hololivers, and started materializing necklaces for them.

I repeated the process for everybody, from the ones who'll help the Hololivers, the couple, and then everybody else.

I panted while still crossing my arms. This time, the panting is heavier. Not only from my LF, but also from something else. 

I'm also sweating faster than the AC can cool me. 

"Everybody, you got your necklaces, right?"

"Nn. (Yes) (Oo)."

"G-Great..."

"Yamada? What's happening?" Iris asked.

"H-Hmm?"

"You're hyperventilating, and sweating a lot. This also happened in the living room before we came here."

"N-Nothing's really wrong..."

I looked away while grunting a bit.

"Yamada, you can't lie to me. Something's wrong." Christina frowned.

"Nothing really is wrong-"

"What is it, Yamada? Something in your mind? I can read it, you know?"

...Yes, but...

"Well....it's trivial anyway. I don't think it matters anyway. So continuing on-"

"C'mon, what is it? Tell the others too if it's been bothering you too much." Christina said.

I looked away more while scratching the back of my head.

"Really...? It's probably just me overthinking though..."

I don't wanna delay this longer.

"I mean...if you don't want to then-"

"Ugh, okay. You see, I'm just worried if I'm acting bossy. That's it." 

Christina widened her eyes a bit, and I started hearing a little bit of whispers from everybody else, even the Hololivers.

"What did he just say?" A majority of them said.

"He said something something 'bossy'...who's bossy? Him?" Risu said.

"Y-Yamada, you're not really being bossy right now though..." Sora said.

"I mean, we're doing the whole world a favor right now if that answers your question." Roberu said.

"But I mean...Yamada is the strongest out of all of us, right? He knows what he's doing..." I heard somebody outside the meeting room say.

"Yamada..."

Christina giggled and shook her head.

"You're a leader! It doesn't matter if you're being bossy or not, you idiot!"

"Id-"

I-I mean....technically, she's correct. I am a leader...

"Besides, you're doing this for not only the world's sake, but also for us, right?" She said while grabbing my hands and raising it.

"Wha-Christina-"

"Yamada, you're in control here. We're gonna follow your orders because it's not only for everybody's sake, but also for us. This guy has been bothering you for a long time, right?"

"...Not a long time, but....you're right..."

I moved my jaw a bit and clenched my fists.

"...He's fucking up everything, and now he's literally gonna destroy the whole world, no joke."

She looked at everybody, looking at the ones outside, then the ones inside, and finally at Iris.

"Now...a big weight has been off your shoulders now, right?"

"I mean...it wasn't big, Christina. It was trivial..."

"Yamada-kun, now is the time to give your orders." I heard a voice to my left.

"Huh?"

I looked to my left, and saw a pink long-haired "girl" that's wearing a sweater with a black hoodie and shorts with a cute bow on "her" hair. "She" also wore thigh high socks and black shoes.

Idk what the hell his shoes or boots are called .-.

"Hi, leader."

"Kaoru...!"

I looked behind him and saw a guy with what looked like some sort of school uniform with a black undershirt and a red kimono on his shoulders with red shoes. He had white hair, yellow eyes, and a big ass sword in a black sheathe.

"Well, I guess it's almost time to kick ass, I guess." He chuckled.

"You're also here, Suzaku...!"

"Hey, young Yamada." I heard a voice similar to mine coming from behind them.

"Yamada-sensei! What's the situation now, actually?"

"Well, it's time..."

Everybody that wasn't familiar with Yamada-sensei looked at him like seeing a black suit in a white suit party.

"...Yamada, who's this guy that looks like you?" Christina asked.

"Oh, hi, young Christina. I'm his sensei."

Yamada-sensei's POV

I tethered my mind to everybody.

"Anyway, I'm Yamada's sensei. Don't mind me. I'm just here to help him, along with a couple of my wives."

"A couple of your wives...?"

"A what?"

"WIVES?!"

"...ha?"

"Just know you're gonna have some company with you." I thought bluntly.

Yamada's POV

He looked at everybody for a few seconds, and looked at me.

"Anyway, before we go into important matters, I brought along somebody you'd love to have." He snickered.

...Wait...he snickered...?

"Ugh, well, I have no choice but to help this dipshit, I guess."

"...AKI?!"

"H-Hai!" Akirose stood up.

"NOT YOU!" I said.

"H-HAI!" She immediately sat back down while shivering a bit.

"G-Gomen, but..."

I looked behind Yamada-sensei.

"Well, I guess you really have no choice." I crossed my arms.

"Well, you owe me one, you dipshit."

"Yeah 2x, whatever, dickface. Remember that you're also doing the universes a huge favor." I crossed my arms and deadpanned.

"And I'm doing it for my universe, not yours."

"I know..."

"GRR....!" We both stared at each other.

"Could you twos just fukin'-" Yamada-sensei said.

*CHOP*

"ITAI!" We grunted.

"Jeez, even at a serious situation like right now, you two just can't stop." Yamada-sensei deadpanned.

I felt some warmth on my left shoulder and looked to my left.

"This is the situation that they're at right now."

I felt some sort of energy flowing into my left shoulder, and into my brain, giving me a surge of memories.

"You think I'd joke about universes? Huh? HUH?! YOU FUCKING ATTENTION SEEKING LESBIAN WHORE?!"

"I didn't pick you yet, so shut your mouth until I say otherwise."

"1: I don't do whores. Cause I consider all women tools and sluts for money. And 2: you can't become Yamada's girlfriend."

"Man, I wish Yamada was here to see this shit. That'd totally piss him off."

"*ZAP*"

"I'll kill him! And now, I can do business while bringing in whores that please otakus!"

"Satte...you all play nice now. I'll just wait here until that bitch comes here."

"Squad leaders, you can keep guard outside. And no matter what you do, do not interfere with our fight. Make sure each of you guards each floor. One of you shall guard this door."

"Arigatou, Mr. Weeaboo!"

"Now...we'll play the waiting game."

I widened my eyes.

"THEY'VE ALREADY CAPTURED THE HOLOLIVERS?!"

I activated Fubuki's eyes while gritting my teeth.

"The hell are we waiting for?! LET'S GO, YAMADA-SENSEI!"

I tried to run towards the portal he made in preparation for going through, but he put his arm in front of me, stopping me from running.

"Not yet."

"But the root Hololivers are at sta-"

"You're not fighting alone, you know?"

I gasped a bit.

"That's right..."

I was just planning to get him by myself, but I forgot...I can't do it alone, can I? I'm not going against Mr. Weeaboo and his subordinates at once.

I looked behind me, and looked around the meeting room to find the Holostars.

"Yamada, it's time we return a huge favor by helping us with huge problems that put all of us in this state." Roberu snickered.

"We're ready when you are, leader." Temma said.

"We're ready!" The Holostars said.

I smiled and chuckled.

"I guess I'm prepared now." I said while looking back at Yamada-sensei.

"What about your necklace though, Yamada-kun?" Kaoru asked.

"Who needs that when I can suck LF right off from the person?" I giggled.

"Well, you ready to go now, young Yamada?" Yamada-sensei asked.

I nodded.

"Let's go! Let me beat up that Ronnie Coleman wannabe!"

He made a portal.

"Calliope, you stay here and help the girls. Maybe help my Calli too."

"She's coming with me, whether you like it or not." Aki said.

I looked at him.

"Oh yeah...I forgot that when I was reading your mind before...you need Calli near you for your LF shit..."

I tethered my mind to his and went in his memories. Damn, boi. So much bonding. His LF is huge, and his regeneration is decent. I guess I won't worry too much about him.

"Well then, guess you'll have to come with us, Calliope."

He nodded and Calliope said:

"Thank you."

"W-Wait, Yamada-senpai!"

I looked at Calli.

"Before you go, me and Kiara wanna say we're-" I cut off Calli.

"Save it for later, Calli. I won't necessarily die before you get to say something. I have 'plot armor' on, and Kiara's eyes to aid me, and plus Rushia can revive me if she wants to. That's if Rushia won't die first."

I looked at Rushia.

"But I'll ensure that you guys won't die." I chuckled.

Rushia smiled and the other girls too.

"Do good for me!" I said.

I looked at the others too.

"Take care, you all."

They nodded.

"You too, Yamada-kun."

I looked at Christina and Iris.

"Take care, you two."

They nodded.

I looked at everybody standing in the hallway.

"Everybody, please make it out alive."

They nodded.

"We'll do our best!"

I closed my eyes and went into Yagoo's mind.

"Old Man, can you hear me?"

"Eh? Yamada?"

"I'm going to 'save the world' now. Take care, okay? I don't want my Old Man dying from arthritis before the great war."

"I'm an old man, but I'm not gonna die from such ridiculous reasons like that." He chuckled.

I chuckled.

"Good luck!" We both thought to each other.

"Let's go! I'm prepared as all hell now!" I said while activating Swift Fox, keeping my claws on, activating Astel's right eye, and Kanata's left eye, deactivating Fubuki's eyes.

"Alright..."

He looked at everybody.

"On young Yamada's behalf, I shall protect you all."

"You better." I said.

We giggled at each other.

"Bros! Come through!" I said while jumping through the portal that Yamada-sensei made earlier.

I put a physical barrier on them (the Holostars) first, and then a magical barrier.

"Sorry, but please give everybody else a barrier aside from the Holostars, Yamada-sensei!"

"You got it."
