When we got back home, Recovery Girl healed me, and I felt tired after. Well, I was already tired from working all day in Wano, but more tired. My trapezius is very sore, leaving a scar in its wake, and the superficial arrow wounds to the rest of my skin are now large scars. Recovery Girl said that Hatsume said that the eye was completed and that we can do the surgery today if I get the eye, since most of my wounds were superficial. We told Recovery Girl that Hatsume was making it to keep things simple and confidential and Hatsume played along. Ms. Midnight says, “I’ll leave that to you kids. Tell Bulma I said hello. I am going to pick up some things while you do that.” We nod and we go our separate ways, and we go see Hatsume first before going to Bulma, knowing that Bulma was wanting to trade more tech. This is our way of paying Bulma since we don’t have their Earth’s currency. We get one of Hatsume’s babies, and she says, while not looking away from what she is working on, “Ask her for that shrinking bracelet when you see her.” I tell her, since she wouldn’t see a nod, “Ok.”
Ayaka and I go to the room here at UA, and we do our ritual to go see Bulma. I pictured the door outside of her lab in the hallway. So we would be shielded from people’s gazes since we don’t have Ms. Midnight. We teleport and then open Bulma’s lab to see her sleeping on her workbench while sitting in her chair. I saw the eye and I wanted to get it without disturbing her, and she stirred awake and said while yawning, “Oh, hey kiddos, I finished your eye. It is packed full of cool stuff. I wrote down the details here. Give me a hug.” Ayaka places the jetpack down, and we hug Bulma, and she sees it and asks, “Ooooo, what’s that?” I tell her, “It is a jet-pack that allows the wearer to fly.” Bulma giggles as she attempts to wipe the exhaustion from her eyes, “That is cool. Did she have a request?” I nod, “The shrinking bracelet.” Bulma says, “Oooh, you mean my micro-band. Yeah, sure, one sec.”
She grabs the micro-band and hands it to us, and she pats me on the head and says, “Let me know how that eye treats you. I can make adjustments if needed.” I nod and say, while feeling a little flustered and turning my gaze away, “Thank you for going through the trouble of making it. I r-really appreciate it.” She smiles and says, “You did save my life, so it is the least I could do.” Ayaka hugs her, and she pulls me in, too. After our hug, she says, “Alright, I probably should crash in an actual bed. I can’t remember the last time I slept.” She leaves looking like a husk of a person since she is so exhausted, and we go to her guest room to go back home.
We first head to Recovery Girl for the transplant, because we already know Hatsume is going to want to look at it, and it might as well already be in my head, so she can see it in action. Otherwise, she might try to take it apart right in front of my remaining eye while looking at all the components inquisitively, like she does. Recovery Girl had us go to a sterile room where the surgery was being conducted, and they gave me some kind of drug to knock me out. They had me count backwards from 100 until the drug kicked in to make sure I was unconscious, “100, 99, 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 91, 9-”
When I woke up, I was even more exhausted, and I was also very loopy from the drug they used to put me under, and Sir Floof was cuddling with me in the bed. Recovery Girl said, “Your transplant surgery was a success. We were able to connect the prosthetic to your nerves, so you should be able to control it. I used my power to speed up the healing, so you should be able to see now.” She says while taking the temporary bandage off my eye. I open my left eye slowly and blink a few times, and it is strange how much this feels like my own eye. According to the paper that Bulma gave me, this eye has zoom, nightvision/shade function that is automatic depending on how much light is present and is automatic, a thermal imaging mode, and a written language translator. I don’t understand how Bulma could have done the last one when there are so many languages that are unknown to her, but apparently, according to her notes, languages have patterns that she accounted for with her algorithms.
I am too tired to test it out. Ayaka sees my exhaustion and says, “Recovery Girl anticipated this and had me call Mom and Dad to pick us up. They are finding a parking spot now.” Ayaka looks me in the eye and says, “It looks so cool. You look almost like a cyborg.” She gets her phone and she turns it into selfie mode so I can see it and it is mainly a light silvery color instead of white, with a cosmetically yet functional pupil. It doesn’t quite match my other eye, but something like that doesn’t bother me. Being so loopy as I am now, looking at my eye doesn’t really catch my interest. I lower her phone and say, “I would rather look at your beautiful face, Ayaka, and kiss those deliciously sweet lips.” Ayaka giggles seductively, and I moan after hearing it.
Mom and Dad both come in, and they are clearing their throats, announcing their presence, which makes Ayaka pull back from her leaning in to kiss me. I pout like a child under the effects of the drugs, and I say, “Come back.” Ayaka looks at me with such a sweet face, and Mom and Dad both start giggling. Dad says, “I really like this adorable drugged version of our future daughter-in-law.” Mom says all giddy, “I know. That scowl of hers completely disappeared.” I go to stand and stumble from being loopy, and Ayaka helps me stand. Mom and Dad see Sir Floof, and Mom says, “Awwww. You are just as pretty as my baby girl said you were.” Sir Floof elegantly bonks her leg affectionately, and Dad says, while smiling, while pointing to the door with an open palm and waving at us with the other as if he were a relaxed traffic cop, “Let’s get you two home.”
As we drive home, I lean my head on Ayaka’s chest and I happily say after an exhausted giggle, “I love your boobs, they ares- s-so comfy. Can I take a nap right here?” Ayaka pets my hair and says, “Sure, babe.” I happily mumble about how nice her boobs are in a loopy, almost incoherent way, not dissimilar to the nerd going off about hero shit. I hear Mom and Dad let out a “Pffft!” in the front, but I am too loopy to care. It feels like I am in a dream and have no control over the words that come out of my mouth.I have these really comfy clouds as a pillow. I think I dozed off on Ayaka, and I drooled on her in my loopy state. I apologize with a slightly slurred speech, “I ams-sorry babe.” I say gesturing to her shirt that she is wiping off. She says while helping me out of the car with that hero smile of hers, “Don’t worry about that. Let’s get you inside.” She takes me to our room and helps me out of my clothes except my underwear and a t-shirt and gets me under the covers.
I pull her into bed and kiss her and say, “I want you to touch me.” Ayaka purrs at my words and kisses me passionately. I moan into her mouth, and she stops kissing me quite suddenly and says, “We probably shouldn’t do this while you are in this state. If you don’t have a clear picture in your mind, we may teleport to a dangerous place, and you would be too exhausted to teleport us back.” I groan and paw at Ayaka, who is backing away, trying to get her to stay in bed. She says while biting her lip, “I will touch you as much as you want tomorrow, ok?” I ask pitifully, “Promise?” She smiles warmly, “I promise.” I say in a pout, “Hmph, ok… I guess.” Ayaka giggles and bends down to kiss me before turning out the lights in her room and leaving. I fell asleep pretty much immediately.
{Ayaka's POV}
Once I shut her in our room, I am all smiles. SHE IS JUST TOO FUCKING CUTE! I get to the living room and see Mom in the kitchen cooking while Dad is setting the table. Both of them have smiles on their face, too. Mom sees me and says while placing a hand to her smiling face, "Isn't Sekai just too cute?!" I wiggle and squeal unable to contain it any longer, "I know right! It took so much self-control to not... you know..." Mom and Dad laugh, then Mom says, "That was a wise call, honey. With a quirk like hers, she needs to be sober." I sigh while still smiling and grab my living room sketchpad and colored pencils, then go sit down at one of the table's open spots and start drawing. I draw a scene with a bench swing under a cherry blossom tree as petals fall from the starry night sky, lit by a full moon.
I am currently working on the night sky and Dad says excitedly, "Ooooo! I want to go see!" He hops inside my drawing, and I say, "Come on, Dad! I wasn't finished yet!" He giggles while rocking in the swing looking at the frozen cherry blossom petals suspended in the air, "You and I both know that you can finish while I am still in here. It isn't like you need to touch up the swing anymore since you are working on the night sky. Plus, I want to see you finish it from here." I sigh and continue, and Dad says, "You draw a beautiful night sky, just like your mom." I blush at the compliment. I mean, I have always loved watching Mom paint a night sky ever since I was a little kid. I was so captivated by her use of blues, purples, blacks, greys, and purposefully leaving absence of color to make beautiful stars and moon that light up the sky.
Mom hearing this, pauses making dinner and sneaks a peak at my drawing and smiles while stroking my hair, "It looks beautiful, honey. Do you mind if your father and I borrow this for date night?" I get embarrassed at her question knowing what they would want to do here, and go 2D, accidentally bringing Mom with me since she was stroking my hair. I say, really flustered, "I would have preferred you just borrow it, instead of saying something so embarrassing." Mom giggles, "Thank, honey. Can you make me 3D again so I can continue cooking? Would be a little hard to cook like this." She says looking at her 2D form. I make us 3D again and continue drawing with a red face as Mom resumes cooking.
{Sekai's POV}
I woke up and memories started coming back piece by piece as I lay in bed looking at the ceiling. I cringe thinking of the way I was acting, and Ayaka saw this and sleepily giggled. My face gets really red, and I cover my face, and Ayaka pulls my hands away and turns me to face her, which makes me blush more. She says, “You were quite adorable yesterday.” She strokes my arm while yawning, then says, “Especially when you were pouting that you wanted me to touch you last night.” Her saying this with her sleepy voice gives me a nosebleed, and she sleepily giggles in that sexy way while grabbing me a tissue. She asks me while I hold the tissue to my nose, “How are you feeling? Are you in any pain?” I shake my head. She then asks, “Have you tried out the different stuff with your eye?” I shake my head.
Ayaka asks while stroking my arm, “Why don’t you try looking at me with that infrared vision?” I say, “I am not sure how to activate my infrared vision.” The moment I think and say that, I start seeing heat signatures, and I jump in surprise, not expecting it. She looks like a red, yellow, and orange blob, and everything else is a cool blue color. It is discombobulating with my right eye open, so I close it. I look around the room with this vision, and it is interesting seeing things this way and seeing my body in this manner. I think to myself for science, ‘Turn off infrared’, and it returns to normal. I start chuckling, “Now, that is cool.” She asked, “Can you describe it?” I open both eyes and I explain to her about the colors, and she smiles warmly while listening.
Sir Floof woke up and apparently was sleeping with us. He stuck his face out of the covers adorably and chirped and licked me in the face. I giggle and pet him and say, “Good morning, Sir Floof. Did you sleep well?” He chirps, nods, then he adorably bonks me in the head gently. I hug him and say, “I love you, too, Sir Floof.” He purrs loudly, and Garlic comes out of his ball and uses his vines to propel him into the bed on top of Ayaka, and she groans, “Oof, hey baby. Good morning. Now, I love you so much, but you are a little too big to get on top of me like that.” She pats beside her on the mattress, and Garlic gets in the spot and Ayaka pets him while wearing that hero smile, “Thank you, Garlic.” He says, “Saur,” and nuzzles into Ayaka’s pets adorably. We stay in bed a bit and pet them before getting up for the day.
As we eat breakfast, I tell Ayaka the idea I have for flying that I got from Shinobu, with a combination of my fruit quirk and my quirk, and Ayaka gasps in amazement, “Wow, I never thought of combining my abilities… I mean outside of the bedroom.” Mom clears her throat while cooking breakfast to remind Ayaka that she was in the room, and Ayaka blushes, flustered that her mom heard that, but keeps her composure enough to not go 2D. I say, “You could probably attack from 2D, like spraying enemies with your ink from a wall drawing as a surprise attack or something.” Ayaka says, “I don’t think I can affect the 3D world like that from 2D, though.” I whisper to her, “Then explain how you can pleasure me when I am 3D, and you are 2D.” She starts blushing again and nods, “O-o-ok, I see your point.”
Mom finishes and places our breakfast down, and giggles and says, “Wow, this is a new scene. Usually, the roles are reversed and Ayaka is the one making you blush, Sekai.” She covers her giggling mouth with her hand after she places our breakfast down. I bow slightly, respectfully, “T-thank you for the food.” She pats me on the head with her free hand, and I dig in, eating quickly like I normally do. I can see the wheels turning in Ayaka’s head as we eat, as she thinks about what I said. She gasps while eating, and I ask, “Did you think of something?” Ayaka nods, “2D Armament Tentacle Slam. Hitting an opponent under their feet, and I think it will send them flying if I am picturing it right. I kind of want to test it out now.” I sigh with contentment as I finish and take my plate and chopsticks to the sink and wash them, and say, “If only we could borrow Kirishima. He would probably be the best dummy to test it on.” Ayaka giggles, “Yeah, he would be perfect. If we return on time today, I can text him to see what he is doing.” I totally forgot that she has the rest of class 1-A’s phone numbers. She is my whole world, but I forget that I share her with others. Sometimes, I really hate being reminded of that. I feel bad feeling that way, but I just want her all to myself.
We stop by a convenience store on the way to UA and pick up a few menstrual cups for Katsumi and a few others with Ayaka’s allowance from her parents. Ayaka suggested we ask Hatsume about making a machine that dispenses them for them or maybe provide them the means to make them themselves. We decided that we aren’t going to disturb Hatsume and Powerloader while they work on the security system and just wait before asking them about anything else, since it has only been 4 days since we put in the request, and they aren’t finished with it yet. When I mentioned how bad I felt about the extra work they took on for me, Mom had the idea to make cookies or a cake as a form of thanks for all of their help. I think I like that better than saying it with my words. Seeing people's faces as I stumble across my words irritates me and makes me more flustered.
We meet Ms. Midnight in the room, change into our kimonos, and do our travel ritual to go to Wano. She had a few bags with stuff from a hardware store that she brought with us. She apparently brought a lot of plastic pots, packets of seeds, and a clear tent so they could make a greenhouse. O-tsuru was confused, and Ms. Midnight said, “I was talking with a friend who had this idea to help you guys grow vegetables for a more balanced diet. However, you will need unpolluted soil for this. I figured we could borrow some from that place you mentioned here since they probably wouldn’t miss it.” O-tsuru is excited at the news and looks to me as if to ask, and I nod, “I should have energy at the end of teleporting people today. My endurance has been improving from using my quirk a lot.” O-tsuru looks excited and excuses herself and talks with Katsumi, who nods.
Ayaka reached into the bag that Ms. Midnight was carrying, took out a menstrual cup, and gave it to Katsumi. She left it in the box so she could read the directions for use and maintenance that are on the box. She hugs Ayaka in gratitude, and she looks at me and motions for me to join. I sigh and teleport over and join the hug, too. Her, O-tsuru, Nami, and Robin are the only ones here that I don’t mind hugging… Maybe Luffy, since he doesn’t seem to care about sexual stuff, since he only cares about food. Katsumi says, bringing me out of my thoughts, “Thank you, both.” She releases our hug, and I tell her as a heads up, “Make sure you are able to wash your hands promptly after, you will have to really - - - to get it in.” I say while nonverbally showing approximately how far her hand will have to go, and she nods. Ayaka giggles, “You didn’t have to do THAT gesture.” I squinted my eyes in confusion, “It was the best way for me to describe it, though. What was I supposed to say?”
Katsumi giggles at our exchange and goes to find a private place to put the cup in with a bowl of clean water. I kiss Ayaka, and she takes my jawbreaker again so I can work with O-tsuru in getting more people of Wano into our settlement here so they can have food and clean water like the others. We spent a little more than half the day teleporting villagers to Rinyūraru, and while we were out, Katsumi, with the help of some others, prepared two empty barrels and a few shovels so we could ‘borrow’ some soil from the prosperous region here. Ayaka said she was coming with us for this, and Ms. Midnight waved us down, “Don’t you two go off on your own to a dangerous place without a teacher!” We sigh and nod, accepting the help. From encountering those pirate villains, I know how precious backup is. That was my first time since getting my quirk and having control over it, and not being able to escape with my teleports.
While we are teleporting to the prosperous area, which O-tsuru called The Flower Capital. She recommended we go near the back side of the now weird shaped mountain so we would attract less attention. We did just that, and Sir Floof and Garlic came out on their own because they wanted to give us extra security. We were halfway through filling the second barrel when Ayaka’s Observation Haki was triggered, and her reaction alerted Garlic and Sir Floof. Ms. Midnight tells me, while looking where Ayaka is looking, “Take O-tsuru and the soil to safety and return when you can so we can escape, too.” I nod and leave with O-tsuru and the soil, leaving Sir Floof to help them with whatever threat they are about to face. I quickly teleport her back to the concealment of the treeline and immediately go back. I teleport high and test out skin wings, and it seems I have to attach my pinky skin to my ankles and use my forearm skin too for it to work. Otherwise, my skin just flaps in the wind and does not prevent me from falling.
While flying/teleporting in the right direction, I use my zoom to see some ninjas attacking. They are keeping them at a distance with ranged weapons like shuriken and kunai knives. Ayaka’s Observation Haki is allowing her to dodge them effortlessly, while Garlic is blocking with vines, and Sir Floof puts those screens of light up again. Ms. Midnight is trying to get her scent to them to knock them out, but it seems the ninjas have a wind quirk to prevent her from putting them to sleep. Reminding me of those jutsu quirks from the leaf village.
I see a larger-than-normal bald guy with some purple tufts of hair looking at Ayaka, who is clutching her kimono like she is creeped out while dodging ninja weapons. He isn’t as huge as that mammoth dude, but he looks to be maybe 3 1/2 meters tall. Ayaka looks very beautiful with that elegant hairpin holding her long, dark purple hair up. I see her glancing at Ms. Midnight and talking as if she is guiding her on Observational Haki. It seems that Ms. Midnight is more compatible with Observation Haki than me and is visually leveling up before my eyes, starting to dodge effortlessly like Ayaka. That surprises me because of Ayaka’s teaching ability. Maybe it is different for her when she is fighting, or maybe Ms. Midnight understood her weird, vague way of teaching. I am too dumb to understand her vague explanations and need things broken down in order to learn. I can’t help but admire how deftly Ayaka is avoiding those attacks. I can only detect immediate danger, and that is about as much as I can do. I have always known that I am not a chosen one, so it only makes sense that my hero is blessed with both strong Armament and Observation Haki. I wouldn’t be surprised if she also had that Conqueror’s Haki, too.
As she dodges, she closes her eyes and tongues my jawbreaker like she is trying to focus on thoughts of me, and she transports into 2D and uses her tentacle and slams on them with armament, making them fly several meters in the air before dropping down. I fly straight towards baldie, planning on ‘kamikazi’ing, but using armament to protect myself at the last second, using the opportunity Ayaka gave me. I nose-dive, and when I get close, I make an armament shield to smack the shit out of this dude with gravity. I felt so strong and powerful doing this, and courtesy of my armament, I didn’t take any damage. I say to his unconscious body and say with utter disgust, “She is only fifteen years old, you filthy pervert. Creep on women your own age.” His entourage started throwing weapons at me, and I teleported beside the others.
I don’t know if I killed that bastard, and to be honest, I don’t care. He tried to hurt Ayaka. His ninja entourage retreated in a panicking manner while tending to that guy. He must be important. I teleport our party away to the treeline, and as we are teleporting, I ask Ayaka, “I know that baldie was being a creep by your body language, but what exactly did he say?” Ayaka clutches her kimono and says, “He said he was here to relish in the absence of the Kozuki estate,” Pointing to the chunk missing from the mountain, and continued, “and was surprised to see us here. He said I was very beautiful and was saying very graphic things that he wanted to do to me. He kept threatening us, saying that he was the Shogun, Orochi, and when I turned him down… You know the rest…” I grit my teeth as we catch up to O-tsuru and I say, “Tsk. Now I wish I had made a sharp armament instead of a shield armament.” Ms. Midnight places her hand on me and says, “Breathe, Hops. You handled that situation well. Don’t let your anger cloud your principles.”
Ayaka said while biting her lip and pressing her breasts into my arm, “I thought you were so cool, Hops.” I blush while turning my head and stammering, “S-s-so were you, Flustrated. Your attack gave me a huge opening. Otherwise, he p-probably would have dodged.” She turns my face to hers, and I turn redder seeing her beautiful face look at me like that, and she kisses me. Ms. Midnight gets O-tsuru up to speed while kissing her for a moment. After our kiss, I bend down and tell Garlic and Sir Floof, “Thank you for protecting them for me.” Garlic says, “Ivy.” While Sir Floof chirps adorably and nuzzles into my pets. I smirk while petting them, and I hear O-tsuru say, “Oh no, Hops will probably be targeted by the shogun now. Tomorrow, when we are out, let’s see if you have a wanted poster.” I nod and we take the soil back to Rinyūraru, where the greenhouse was set up, and we place the soil barrels inside, so it remains unpolluted.
