(A/N Sorry for no chapter yesterday. I had a big headache so I went to sleep earlier.)
(Ryoto's pov)
It was a day as usual, and I was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV with Lala. It was one of the few days I wasn't training and just relaxed.
I took this one day off for two reasons.
First of all, I had a breakthrough in one of my abilities, and I'm celebrating.
Second of all, tomorrow I. going to a Christmas party. I, like many others, was invited by Saki.
It feels like a big event, and that's why there will be trouble. I also had a slight, almost not noticeable, tingle in the back of my head. I could also imagine it, but that's beside the point.
I just know something will happen. I don't know what, but it will.
If my word isn't enough, then nothing significant has happened as of late, and as we all know, the longer the quiet time is, the bigger the trouble.
While on the topic of troubles, Zastin agreed to keep quiet till the end of January at most.
I needed to beg this man and bribe him with not only lollipops but also share some of my other manga ideas, and when he heard what I had in store, the roles reversed, and he was the one begging me. I even needed to remind him that if Lala's father killed me, the ideas would die with me.
I don't know if I should be happy or sad that it worked...
I was also worrying that Lala didn't experience any side effects yet, so we went to Mikado-sensei to ask if everything was alright, and thankfully it was.
The principal also went missing for a week. Later I found out that the penguins were helping Ustu with punishing the principal.
He was literally sent to horny jail. Thankfully they were still feeding him, but he went a bit crazy inside there, and it's not like he had it bad there.
The bed was comfortable, the food was fresh and edible, and he even had a TV.
The downside was that there wasn't any porn in there, and the TV was programmed with only non-stimulant shows.
After the principal broke out, he went on the street to look up the skirts of every girl near him.
Police needed to be involved.
I didn't even know they existed here. That says a lot about our society.
I lied. It doesn't. This world just works on strange rules which I don't completely understand.
What's even stranger was that they let him go a few days later.
Is he secretly a very important person with many connections?
After remembering how he looked, I erased this thought and deemed it impossible.
Now that I think about it, I can take with me one additional person.
Ryoto: "Hey Mikan, do you want to go to the Christmas party?"
From the kitchen, Mikan answered.
Mikan: "No, I'll help dad and his assistants. I bet they would just work the whole day if I don't visit. But thanks for asking."
Who is the real child in this family, but maybe it's better this way? After all, I don't know what is going to happen.

We were going to the party which was held in Saki's house/mansion. Who am I kidding? It's definitely a mansion.
I looked at Lala, who was walking next to me, looking gorgeous. She had a purple dress with long striped stockings, and she also had a new hairstyle.

Ryoto: "Did I tell you that you look fantastic?"
Lala: "Yes, but it makes me happy hearing it every time!"
She then hugged my arm, and we continued to walk to the party that way.

Inside, Saki did a speech about Christmas and all. After that, we started to music, but the ominous feeling didn't leave yet, so I was prepared, but it didn't stop me from having fun.

I danced with Lala at first but then Risa asked me for a dance as well so I didn't refuse and danced with her as well.
Rito was considering if he should ask Haruna or not to dance, but he was gathering the courage to do it.
Good for him.
It was happening as I was leaning on the wall and observing as Lala was with her friends, so I didn't have anything to do, so I became more vigilant.
Now that I think about it, I should invite Jugemu.
Suddenly my spider-sense went into overdrive.
Alme: "Ryoto!!!"
Alme was jumping towards me at high speed, but I avoided it.
Alme's arm went through the wall and looked up at me as I was sticking to the wall above her.
Alme: "Why did you dodge?"
Ryoto: "Why shouldn't I? You were charging at me."
Alme: "It's not like you would ideas from it. Besides, I was aiming at the wall, not you!"
I looked at her weirdly.
Alme, when she took the arm out, had a sudden realization.
Alme: "I forgot the toast!!! My plan is ruined!!!"
I jumped down and looked at Alme, who was muttering strange things. She was also crouching while holding her head.
Ryoto: "Alme, what are you doing?"
Alme: "I planned a surprise for you, but I ruined it. I'm supposed to run into you with a toast in my mouth, then do kabedon just to invite you for a summer festival and watch sakura leaves fall!"
Ryoto: "...Hate to break it to you, but sakura season is in March, so we couldn't watch it during the summer festival."
Alme: "What!!!?
The truth devasted Alme.
Ryoto: "Alme, what were you trying to accomplish?"
Alme stood up.
Alme: Well, you kind of got angry at me last time we saw each other, so I planned on making you like me since you are my fiancé."
She looked embarrassed while saying that.
She looked cute. Is it a gap moe?
I scratched the back of my head.
Ryoto: "*Sigh* It's not that I don't like you. You just did something that made me angry at the moment. I know I shouldn't blame you as you didn't know Lala's state, but my emotions git better of me. I'm still working on it."
Alme: "So you forgive me?"
Ryoto: "There is nothing to forgive, so let's get along from now on."
Alme: "Yay!"
She jumped at me and hugged me like a koala. It didn't seem that she planned to let me go.
Maybe I was wrong about the troubles.
