The morning after everything that happened in Chapter 6, MC woke up to the most cursed sound possible
Crow’s voice.
“GOOD MORNINGGG BOYOOOO, CONGRATULATION-O!”Crow threw himself onto the bed like a WWE wrestler.“You finally cracked-a girl-o! YESSIRRRR!”
MC groaned, burying his face in the pillow.“Shut… up…”
Crow poked his back repeatedly.
“No no no, you no shut up-o. YOU NOW LOVE BOYO. YOU NOW HANDSOME BOYO. YOU NOW OFFICIALLY TAKEN-O.”He made a heart with his wings.“Lira-chan say yes-o. You now couple-o. Rizzlord-o.”
MC lifted his head.“I swear if you say ‘-o’ one more time”
Crow gasped dramatically.“Violence against animal-o?! INSANE BOYO!”
Around noon, the doorbell rang.
MC froze.Crow froze.Reality froze.
Crow whispered, “It must be the IRS-o.”
MC opened the door
It was Lira.Wearing a soft pink sweatshirt, holding a box of cookies she baked herself.
“Um… hi,” she said, cheeks warm.“I… I wanted to see you.”
Crow teleported behind MC and whispered:“Hmmm hmmm boyo got VISITOR-O. Lira-chan in the housuuu.”
MC wanted to evaporate.
Lira stepped inside, looking around shyly.“This place is cute… kind of messy, though.”
Crow raised a hand.“I TAKE FULL BLAME-O. I am chaos spirit-o. Cannot clean-o.”
MC smacked him with a pillow.“Stop talking.”
The three sat in the living room.Crow immediately started the teasing arc.
“So, Lira-chan… you likey my boyo?”He winked.“On scale one to ten, rate-o his rizz-o.”
MC screamed internally.Lira covered her face, laughing.“C-Crow, stop! He’s already dying!”
Lira suddenly clapped her hands.
“Oh! Let’s all go somewhere today! A date!”Then she corrected herself, flustered,“I mean like… all three of us!”
Crow saluted.“AQUARIUM-O. I PICK-O. I WANT FISH-O.”
MC sighed.“You’re not eating the fish'
“We’ll see-o.”
They planned everything:
11 AM meetup
Train to SeaSky Aquarium
Crow banned from touching water (he agreed for 0.1 seconds)
Crow scribbled the plan on a sticky note:“DATE SCHEDULE-O. NO KILLING FISH-O. TRY NOT TO EMBARRASS-O MC.”
He crumpled the note immediately.“It fine-o. I know myself. I will embarrass-o.”
MC stood in front of his closet again.White shirt?Blue jacket?Shoes that didn’t make him look unemployed?
He took 15 minutes deciding.
Crow observed like a fashion critic.“No no no. That jacket-o make you look like discount bartender-o. Choose the hoodie-o.”
MC sighed.“You don’t know anything about fashion.”
Crow flipped his hair (feather?).“I AM CROW. I BORN WITH DRIP-O.”
MC ended up wearing:
Clean white hoodie
Black jeans
Sneakers that didn’t squeak
Crow nodded proudly.“YES. Lira-chan faint-o today.”
They arrived at SeaSky Aquarium, where children, families, and tourists took photos peacefully.
For 12 seconds.
Until Crow saw the giant water tank.
“WOOOOOO FISH-O!!!”
MC grabbed him.“No. Don’t.”
Crow slipped out of his hands like a greased eel and sprinted.
Lira gasped, “CROW, WAIT!!”
Crow leapedFULL SWAN DIVEinto the aquarium tank.
SPLASH.
People screamed.Security screamed.The fish screamed emotionally.
Crow swam like an Olympic athlete.“LOOK BOYOOO! TUNA!!!”
He caught a fish with his bare claws.
MC: “PUT THAT DOWN!”Crow: “NOOOO! I WANT SASHIMI-O!”
Security guards ran toward them.
“GET THE BIRD OUT OF THE TANK!”
Crow yelled,“NEVER-O! I AM WATER BENDER-O!”before slipping on a seaweed and floating upside down like a corpse.
MC and Lira had to apologize 30 times.They were almost banned for life.
Crow walked out dripping wet, holding two fish.
“Souvenir-o.”
They returned home before security could put his picture on a wanted list.
Lira rolled up her sleeves.“I’ll cook these. Crow… don’t eat it raw.”
Crow already had one fish in his mouth.“Too late-o.”
MC laughed for the first time in days.Lira smiled seeing him laugh.Crow danced around like he just won the lottery.
They all sat at the table eating grilled fish, Crow proudly declaring:
“THIS BEST DATE-O EVER! NEXT TIME WE GO ZOO-O. I WANT STEAL-O PENGUIN.”
MC and Lira screamed,“NO!!”
Crow shrugged.“We see-o.”
