Once Again (IzuOcha)

Minor 1 : Chapter 5 : The Punch and Hatsumei Show!

I am concerned of my well-being, I thought to myself.

IIDA POV:

I gulped and proceeded to set foot onto the stage. All the eyes were on me, and Hatsumei was smirking or smiling at me, I can't tell.

Is she going to do that same thing we did since the Sports Festival? Will she make a fool out of me again? If she does, then I promise myself that I won't interact with her anymore. This has gone too far.

"You ready?" Mei said under her breath.

"You didn't tell me I was going to perform with you." I whispered.

"I thought it was common sense?!" She stated.

I rolled me eyes then nodded. She responded with a smile and a slight nod.

"So today, ladies and gents. I present to you, the first prototype of my latest invention!" She raised my Ingenium helmet in the air.

"I present to you, the All-Purpose Helm of Heroes!" She excitedly said.

The audience applauded.

"Wear this." She whispered as she kissed my cheek.

I didn't know what I was doing that time, but all I know that I did was wear the helmet and did what she told me to do.

"This comes with multiple features!" She stated. "It comes with a map of the area, where you can see where you're currently at." A large picture of the inside of my helmet was presented on the screen.

"It comes with your health/body status, it tells you what part you're injured, using neutrons in your body to give that information." She pointed to the human body at the screen.

She pointed out all the features of my helmet, while I just stood there with my head high inside this helmet. Until she said these words:

"Come on outside, I'll show you all how this works!" She pulled me by my arm and we dashed outside.

Some were exiting the tent but not all of them. I figured it was the food that they didn't leave, which was understandable.

"Iida, I trust you that you'll do your best to present this helmet for me okay?" She asked.

"You made a fool out of me the previous time when we did this, I don't want to repeat it again." I stared into her eyes.

She placed her two hands on my head with my helmet on. She placed her forehead touching the top of my helmet.

I was surprised she would do this, normally she'll just punch my arm. But, this is alright.

"I'll do you this once alright? The next time, warn me." I stated.

"I promise, besides I have something planned for the both of us after this event." She assured and removed her hands off my helmet, as I removed my hands off her waist.

"Hey!" Someone in the crowd called. "Is this some sort of a show?"

We looked at the guy in the crowd.
