Giroro Presents: Dating the Enemy! Chapter 5

Koyuki backed away slowly.

How did she even manage to find us?

Giroro thought frantically. Then again, they were at the park- not at their usual base or the backyard (like they didn't want Rio to be a "stalker"). But they were in a secluded area- they were careful to make sure that no one saw them while they pekoponized Giroro.

"This isn't good," Tamama whimpered.

Everyone held their breath.

Giroro felt the choker tighten slightly in his neck, or maybe it was just the anxiety. His heart raced and pounded mercilessly against his chest as he held a near-steady gaze at Koyuki. His legs that he worked so hard on trying to master were starting to feel like jelly as it did in the beginning- he feared that if no one spoke up now he would pass out from over exertion.

The silence was deafening.

"Koyuki..." Dororo said cautiously.

Koyuki stared down at him, her shock increasing as she realized that her friend seemed to in on the plan as well. Taking a deep breath, she asked, calmly, "What is this about?"

When no one knew how to reply, she looked to Dororo for the answer. "D?"

"The truth?"

"The truth."

"Well..." Dororo looked at his friend.

Make up anything,Giroro thought toward him, knowing full well that this anime could transfer his thoughts due to the low budget of the animation.

Don't worry, Dororo assured him. After thinking within moments for the perfect explanation, he finally made up his mind and turned to Koyuki respectfully.

"Koyuki," He said. Then he pointed. "Giroro loves Natsumi."

"D-Dororo-!" Giroro cried out, his face a deep crimson.

"Aw, why didn't you say so?" Koyuki grinned. "I didn't know that!"

. . . .

You're joking.

"Man, you made the last part of this episode all epic and suspenseful, too!" Keroro pouted. "The least you could do is like cry or something!"

Giroro fell to his knees in utter relief.

"What for?" Koyuki asked innocently. "I mean, I knew there was something fishy about you, Giroro- I mean, Rio." She winked at him, making him turn even redder with humiliation. "But now it all makes sense."

"Are you going to tell Natsumi?" Giroro muttered.

"Nah!" Koyuki waved her hands dismissively. "If she asks, I'll tell her. But I doubt she'll be able to figure it out herself." She looked up at the sky. "Speaking of, don't you have a date with her, Giroro?"

Giroro cocked his head briefly, as if he forgotten something, and then jumped up immediately after. "Th-that's right! I have to go!"

"Have fun with Natsumi for me!" Koyuki said. She looked down at the remaining Keroro platoon, who also seemed to recognize the situation and wanted to act upon it, as they were behind schedule due to this extremely sudden and heartstopping situation that didn't deserve the attention.

"Do you want me to put that back for you?" Koyuki offered, gesturing toward the gun.

"Kero?" Keroro looked up at her.

"If you want, I could put it in Giroro's tent for you," She said sweetly. "You guys look really busy."

"Aww, you're too kind!" Keroro took the gun from Kururu and gave it to her. "Here! Be very careful with it, okay?"
