Cheering up the big guy : Return of the plushy

"So how did it go? She ignored what you said, right?"

Louis didn't need to respond to that. Hoshiko was, after all, completely right. How could someone believe such a weird statement?

When Kentaro confessed to his crush, he had a look that could kill. How could someone in their right mind think of it as a confession of love?

'Stop rubbing salt in the wound' responded both Louis and Hoshiko in their thoughts.

Kentaro, who understood Louis silence, just stood there quietly. He was in quite a pitiful state. At least that's what a third-party could understand from his vague facial expressions... He has quite a stiff face after all.
Louis finally broke the silence : "Don't worry brother. You can order a second serving ! Take your chances with the twin-". Louis could only finish his sentence before being bonked by his girlfriend.

"He'll only get served a second refusal by following you !"

"I only love one of them anyway. Let's just forget about all of this... I just wanna go home..." Kentaro mustered.

The small group began their walk toward the metro so that they could go to their respective dwellings.

Going down the road, Louis tried every possible way of cheering up the big guy but to no avail. From small talk to jokes and free food, nothing seemed to really help his condition. However, this situation was the last thing to worry about.
Indeed, a "old" enemy was coming to take his revenge.

"Found you." a flying furby that was not too far whispered.

"Flying furby? Oh you mean that 'Pourri Pourri Magical Girls thingy' that attacked Hoshiko..."

"IT'S PURI PURI MAGICAL GIRLS ! I'm going to strangle you both !"

"You talk big for a gag character !"

"You're laughing now but I'll take revenge on that bitch and take back my magical girl clothes..."

"I don't think you can take those back... I... I sold them..."

"What?"

"Well... Those were really skimpy clothes... Hoshiko didn't really need this. At least not yet. So I told her I could get some quick bucks, grabbed the outfit and sold it on a red street."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

...

Louis added : "You could always have a career change... Puri Puri Magical Sluts has a nice ring to it..."

The plushie is looking really fierce and angry right now Louis. Maybe her mother was a Puri Puri Magical Bitch?

"Louis..." Hoshiko's voice turned dark. "Maybe you should've had let me know in advance what you wanted to do..."

"It did cover for the loss of your previous clothes though... Nothing's wrong as long as everything was clean anyway..."

Hoshiko could only sigh at this. She then turned toward the big flying plushie, now red with anger, and asked a million-dollar question: "Now that I think about it. What did you do to my clothes huh ? You pathetic excuse of an antagonist!"

"Uh... I... huh... The red street?"

Uh-oh... To crack that kind of joke to her... Bad idea... Aaaaand he's gone... Yup. For someone coming to take their revenge, he is certainly an expert at running away without having done anything.

"And don't ever come back in my story you asshole !" Louis shouted.

"Your story? Really?" Uh-oh... Hoshiko wasn't really happy about this. Bad Idea. It was thanks to her that "the story" could be somewhat considered a rom-com. And now this dum-dum was patting his own back wihout putting any work.

This was no good. Louis needed to find an excuse or at least a way to get away with what he said.
He quickly turned toward Hoshiko, a mustache visible on his face and a tool in both hands : a scythe and a hammer.

"Sorry I meant our story comrade !"

"Where did you even pull these from?" Hoshiko sighed before being interruped by Kentaro's sudden laugh.

"You two. Thank you for taking my mind off my rejection !"

Well, seems like things worked out in the end. Maybe Kentaro was scary but I don't think that's going to be a problem if he can get over hardships like that... For now, he just thanked the two and walked off in a random direction, probably toward his home. I just hope this kind of event to be the most desperate situation to happen...

'Well thank you asshole ! Now that you said that, something's gonna happen anyway ! It's only a question of when, or "how many chapters"!'

Don't worry that much... It's not like anybody's life is at stake am I right? We've been dealing with love potion and rejection after all...

"I think you both underestimate Japan's wildlife" interrupted Hoshiko. "We didn't make Godzilla a citizen because of some reproduced head on top of a building. It was to quell it's anger. I don't even want to talk about youkais..."

"Those are fairytales, you really want to make me believe in this kind of stuff? You're 15 years too late honey."

"You just spoke with a flying stuffed toy and still, you don't believe me huh? Suit yourself. I'll come collect your body parts for cremation if something's go wrong. Sayonara then."

It is with these words that Hoshiko changed course. It seems that Louis was soon going to learn the harsh truth about japanese folklore and culture...

"Don't you get started too. I've had enough of this."

Well then, see you ̶n̶e̶x̶t̶ ̶m̶o̶n̶t̶h̶ dear reader.

"Fuckin' delays am I right?"
