Return of a friend(IoxTsumiki Acchi Kocchi)

Gaming World, Pt. 2

Hello, viewers and readers! Sorry for the delay. You thought that I discontinued the story, did ya? I devote myself to Acchi Kocchi so I can't leave this in the fray. Nevertheless, here we go! Part 2, commence!

---------------------------------------------------------
The castle that they entered was Castle Cross, a castle where national negotiations occur. The people were like any other people in another castle. Mayoi and Sakaki were checking for some potions while the others look for equipment for all of them. Tsumiki and Io were going to the castle, along with Ultima and Esle. As they enter the castle, they were greeted by a bowing king. His robe matches the colorful carpet. Ultima said, "Cross, I'm not angry. Unless you have a reason why your men attacked my friends and myself". Cross gulps and replied, "You may ask Esle about that".

Ultima then turns to see Esle bowing to him and shouts "I am sorry, I am sorry, I am sorry..." until she stop when his finger hush her. Ultima gives her a reassuring smile and said "It's ok, I forgive you." She blushes then smiles that he understands her mistake. Hime is a bit jealous on what is happening right now but shrugs it off. Io just approaches Esle with a dark look that says that he wanted to put her down to the ground. "He seems furious on what she had done Tsumiki" Ultima thought. He raises to chest level and said "Calm down, she may have a reason why she attacked us earlier." Io glances at Esle but sighs and said "I forgive you, but if you hurt Tsumiki, mercy is forbidden to you, got it?" Esle nods immediately. Ultima laughs at his friend's threat. He gestures Cross to talk about the castle's status in his room.

Tsumiki blushes so red that she wanted to die right now. Io cares for her safety and she can't stop thinking about it. Io sees this and asks if she is ok. Tsumiki stutters and her cat ears pop out. Everyone (with the exception of Mayoi and Sakaki) sees them and Esle asks Ultima about it. "Is that normal for her, to pop out animal ears?" Ultima chuckles and said "Well, she is a tsun after all, also a neko if you want the fact." Esle is still surprised by the ears but now she is looking at Ultima like inspecting him. He had grown for quite awhile. He's an inch taller than her and his equipment was still same. Though his sword seems to change. It glows a white aura and a cyan aura, encircled by a red aura. It seems that he was able to control his genocide self and use it for good.

His face stay the same though. Blue eyes, white skin, and still has the same smile he had during their school days. "Our school days..." She blushes at the thought of him smiling. Hime looks at her for a second then wonders why she is looking at Ultima. Then it dawned to her. She then "cat glares" Esle straight to the eye. Esle also caught up in this and glares at her as well. Ultima gets annoyed by this and pushes them apart. 

Both girls pouted as Ultima wonders why they are acting like that. Cross laughs heartily while everyone seems amused by the act. Ultima then jerks up as his phone rings. He raises a finger as he picks up the call. He says "Hello? What? Right now? As in this day before tomorrow? Alright, we'll go back." Ultima bows at Cross and says "Sorry, urgent business." Cross just smiles and replies "It's ok. I know the occassion." Ultima suddenly dissolves into the code with the rest of the team. He looks at Cross and shouts "I'll see you next time!"

With a flash of light, consciousness began to stir in their minds as they got back to the real world. Everyone, except Ultima, were dizzy as this is their first time in the gaming world. Ultima gestures them to go back to their rooms as he said that he has urgent business. As everyone leaves the room and goes back to theirs, he closes the door and walks to the lobby. There, he sees Soldier standing near a tree. Ultima gets beside him and looks at the tree as well. He smiles and said...

"Tomorrow is a memory I won't forget."

The sign of Christmas, a tree. Welp, guess that's it for the Gaming World series for now since I got a special Christmas chapter for you all. And it will be focused to our lovely duo, Io and Tsumiki.

I also realized that instead of a romcom story on one ship, I suddenly wrote a two ship story with my OC invovled. Oh well, I can be distracted sometimes.

Anyways, thank you for reading and stay tuned for the next chapter. Adieu!!!
