Date A Fate (Date A Live fanfiction)

Chapter 14

Ai: The results of this ruthless poll are in! I present the organizer of this year's Ten-oh Festival: Known to work 25 hours a day, 8 days a week, Ngoc Itsuka.

All of the students turned their attention to Ngoc who's playing game on his phone. Wondering why the atmosphere was suddenly quiet, he looked up and saw the students were looking at him.

Ngoc: Hm? What?

Shido hit himself on the face with his hand and let out a sigh.

Shido: This is a setup, isn't it? But knowing Ai, I'm sure she won't let him do this alone.

Tonomachi: I feel bad for your brother, Shido. He's a good guy.

Shido: No, he's-

Tohka: Hey. What's a Ten-oh Festival?

Tonomachi: It's a giant festival hosted by ten high schools in Tengu City. Every year, polls are held for three categories: booths, exhibitions, and performances. And the school that comes out on top gets to reign as the champion.

Tohka: The champion? That sounds awesome!

Tonomachi: The competition is fierce. You've got Eibunishi High and Senjo University High. And of course you have to watch out for... the all-time champion, Rindoji Academy for Women. They've got the city's prettiest girls there to sell them. And they even have the Miku-tan this year, so they'll be tough to beat.

Shido: Miku-tan?

Tonomachi: Seriously? You don't know the insanely popular mysterious idol, Miku Izayoi?

Shido: Oh, her. Yeah, no, I don't.

Tonomachi: Really dude?! I never knew there was a Neanderthal so close to me! I bet you're, like, the only person in Japan who doesn't know her.

Shido: Then what will you do if I find someone else who doesn't?

Tonomachi: In that case, I'll gladly kneel and bow before you and eat spaghetti with my ass.

Shido: Ok. Hey, Tohka.

Tohka: Hm? *tilt her head*

Shido: Ever heard of Miku Izayoi?

Tonomachi: That's not playing fair, Itsuka!

It's afternoon now. I was walking home with Yoshino.

Ngoc: Man, it's only day one and they're already working me to death. My poor legs... Sorry for making you come meet me.

Yoshino: It's okay. I don't mind.

All of sudden, a Spacequake alarm suddenly alarmed.

Ngoc: Spacequake alarm?! Kotori!

Kotori: [I'm on it. The Fraxinus will transport you there in a second.]

* * *

Much later, I was transported to this new Spirit's location.

Ngoc: So, this is the place...

Kotori: [The Spirit appears to be moving south from the epicenter of the Spacequake. Hurry up. It's your turn to save a Spirit now.]

Ngoc: Got it.

Around the place, I heard a singing voice came from an arena. I entered it.

And there she was, the Spirit. Her voice sounded familiar, by the way.

Kotori: [That's... Diva?! She's only appeared once, and that was six months ago. We hardly have any information on her powers. Stay on your toes when you talk to her.]
