Omni Hearts [To LOVE-Ru x Male Reader/OC]

Chapter 4 - A Love Apron From Outer Space (Rewritten)

Everyone was gathered around the table, enjoying a peaceful morning as Mikan placed plates in front of each person.

Mikan: Here you go, Lala-san. Enjoy.

Lala: *beaming* Yay! Itadakimasu!

Mikan: And here's yours, Rito, Ryuto.

Both: Itadakimasu!

Lala eagerly dug into her breakfast, taking her first bite of bacon and eggs. Her eyes lit up with delight as she chewed.

Lala: *cheerfully* It's so tasty!

Mikan: Really? It's just normal bacon and eggs.

Lala: This is the first time I've ever eaten something so warm. 

Ryuto: *confused* Isn't food normally warm?

Suddenly, Zastin appeared out of nowhere.

Zastin: That's not true, Ryuto-dono.

Ryuto: *deadpan* What hole did you pop out of this time?

Zastin: As royalty on Deviluke, Lala-sama's meals are always tasted by palace guards to check for poisons. By the time her food arrives, it's usually cold.

Rito: Really? 

Lala: Yep.

Mikan: Even royalty has it tough, huh? They have to worry about things like poison every time they eat.

Zastin: Yes, exactly.

Rito: *horrified* Poisoning?

Zastin: Well then...

He is instantly teleported back to his ship in a flash of light.

Ryuto: *sweatdrop* Does this guy ever stop with the dramatic exits?

After...

Ryuto, Rito, and Lala were walking together on their way to school

Boy: That's her, right? The new transfer student?

Boy 2: She's really cute.

Boy: Who're the guys next to her?

Boy 2: Apparently, they all live together.

Boy: That pisses me off!

Rito overheard their conversation and sighed internally.

Rito: *thinking* I didn't wish for this... Why does it always have to be so complicated?

Lala: Haruna! Good morning! This morning, I had bacon, eggs, and rice for breakfast!

Haruna: Is that so?

Lala: What did you have?

Haruna: Well, for me, rice and miso soup can bring out the taste of anything. 

Lala: Bring out the taste?

Rito: *thinking* Haruna-chan... 

Ryuto noticed his brother's expression and nudged him gently.

Ryuto: *whispering* Come on, Rito, you've gotta say something to her eventually.

Rito: *startled* W-What?

Later, in Class...

Later, in class, Lala was sitting with Risa and Mio.

Risa: Wait, you were that excited over bacon and eggs, Lala?
