*Note: I hate Rito but I love Mikan. +1 if you think like me.
Have a good day :)
...
Mikan took the news the same way Nana and Yami did and didn't seem to care much, so after asking me a few more questions to better understand the details, I hung up.
"What did Mikan want?" – Yami asked curiously.
"Apparently her brother wasn't in good spirits today and asked me for advice" – I said.
"Honestly, I only feel sorry for Mikan, I don't like Rito, he's a pervert" – Yami said.
The truth is that Yami hated Rito almost as much as Haruka, so she always tried not to get close to him.
"I don't like him either, I don't wish him any harm, but I prefer not to interact with him" – Nana said with a look of disgust.
"As I heard from Mikan, Rito is simply a coward. He's been in love with Haruna for years and wasn't able to confess his feelings even though they both liked each other" – Momo added.
"A complete coward!" – Nana added.
"I don't like Rito either... it's not that he's a bad person, but... there's just something about him that I don't like" – Lala added.
Even Lala didn't like him. It's incredible that in the manga all these girls were madly in love with Rito, but now they hate him, but honestly, it's better for me, I don't want my girls to come into contact with any man other than me, that's my selfishness.
"At least I hope he recovers so Mikan doesn't suffer" – Yami said.
She didn't care what happened to Rito, but Mikan was her best friend and her sister so she couldn't bear to see her suffer.
They all thought the same, now Mikan was their sister, their same man's fiancée and in the future they would all be together, her suffering was theirs and they didn't want Mikan to feel that way, as for Rito... they simply didn't wish him ill, but they didn't care in the slightest.
After a small conversation about Mikan and Rito, we all went back to our chores without giving Rito too much importance.
...
The days passed and it was already Friday. Since Haruna and I officially started dating, she began to behave like a newlywed wife; she started preparing me bentos, feeding me, etc. All this caused jealousy from the other girls who also started feeding me just as Haruna did. These days I've felt like I'm gaining weight due to all the food I eat during lunch.
Regarding Momioka, Mio, and Yui, they were quite happy for Haruna , but Momo, who observed them closely to see their reactions, could notice a hint of envy in their tone and even in their facial expressions, which made her smile.
Apparently, the three of them already felt something for Akira too and were happy that their friend found happiness, but envious that she achieved it before them.
They also played some jokes and asked questions like: How far have you gone? Have you kissed? Have you already had sex?.
In short, the typical jokes from her friends that made Haruna blush so much she looked more like a tomato than a human being, but soon everything went back to normal.
"It looks like there will be three more soon. And since Mikado-sensei will probably join this Sunday... in this school, only that Saki and her two bodyguards will remain. After that, all the beautiful girls in this school and probably in this city will be part of Akira's harem" – Momo said excitedly in her mind.
But at that moment she remembered something.
"Hmm, although Kari has already been conquered, Mikan's other two friends still remain. Should I talk to Mikan about it?" – Momo asked herself.
That said, Momioka, Mio, Yui, Saki (who would appear in about a week), and her bodyguards Rin and Aya still remained. While at Mikan's school, two of her friends Sachie and Mami still remained and...
"And what about her teacher? What was her name?" – Momo wondered.
Mikan had casually mentioned that her teacher was beautiful and she wanted to investigate more about her.
"I think her name was Rei or something. Anyway, it's better to focus on those that are still missing" – Momo told herself.
Without the "Harem Plan" that Momo tried to make for Rito in the original timeline, which was unsuccessful by the way, Momo sought a new plan: "The Ultimate Harem Plan".
Unlike the Harem Plan we saw in the manga, this plan was not aimed at Akira having a harem, not because Akira already had a harem, the objective of "The Ultimate Harem Plan" was to search for the most beautiful and outstanding women on the entire planet and even the galaxy and make them join Akira's harem.
In short, regardless of the timeline, Momo always makes a "Harem Plan".
...
Several days later.
It was already Friday and, as I said before, everything had returned to normal with the exception that now I said goodbye to Haruna with a kiss on the lips.
At first, Haruna was shy about it and even Momioka and Mio would tease her about it, but after a few days she simply got used to ignoring their jokes and saying goodbye to me with a kiss.
Other things that happened were that I gave the pendants to Haruna, Mikan, and Kari, so now I could know their position if the situation required it.
That said, something else happened that made Mikan sad, Rito.
Since that day, Rito hadn't left his room for anything more than going to the bathroom and finding food.
Since Tuesday, he had stopped going to school and didn't want to engage in conversation with anyone, including Mikan and even his best friend Saruyama.
Mikan tried everything to try to understand Rito, to try to find out what was wrong with him so she could help him, but there was no way. Rito refused to talk to anyone, he had neglected his hygiene and probably his whole room was a mess.
This also surprised me, after all, Rito never behaved this way in the manga.
What happened to him that day to make him like this?
I have no idea about that, but what I do know is that my Mikan was very sad and I had to do something about it, so on Friday, a day before my date with Kari, I decided to visit Mikan's house as always, but this time alone.
The girls were sad for Mikan and wanted to help her, but they understood that they couldn't do anything more than offer her their comfort. As for Rito, they simply couldn't do anything to help him, and honestly, they didn't care about his situation; if it weren't for Mikan, they wouldn't have even thought of a way to help him.
In the end, they all decided on Akira and his Omnitrix. Maybe there was an alien capable of helping Rito and, consequently, Mikan, their sister.
That's why Akira went to Mikan's house alone.
"Do you have any way to cure him?" – Mikan asked hopefully.
"Hmm, Rito's wounds are not physical but emotional. While I have an alien capable of healing, it can't heal emotional wounds, only physical ones" – I said.
"But didn't the Omnitrix give you an alien when I casually mentioned that I wanted to go to another timeline?" – Mikan asked.
"True, the Omnitrix seems to react to certain situations that require some specific kind of power, but to activate it just by talking..." – I said while returning the Omnitrix to its original form and looking at it.
"Then I'll try!" – Mikan said.
Before I could say or do anything, Mikan grabbed my wrist and spoke directly to the Omnitrix.
"I don't know if you're listening to me or not, but I need an alien that can help my brother or at least understand what's wrong with him!" – Mikan said.
I didn't want to discourage Mikan, but I've tried countless times to ask the Omnitrix for aliens and, apart from those times when I was in danger, it never responded to my requests.
I wanted to tell Mikan that it wasn't going to work, but suddenly the Omnitrix glowed and the AI spoke.
[A SITUATION HAS BEEN DETECTED WHERE NO CURRENT ALIEN CAN HELP, SEARCHING FOR A SUITABLE ALIEN TO SOLVE THE HOST'S PROBLEM]
"Hey. Why do you always react to the girls' words, but ignore me? I'm supposed to be your host..." – I said somewhat dissatisfied.
During these weeks I had asked the Omnitrix to give me aliens to solve some problems, but it had completely ignored me, and now it activated just because Mikan needed help.
Am I not its host? Why doesn't it listen to me?
[ALIEN FOUND, PROCEEDING TO FORCED TRANSFORMATION]
Suddenly, a green light appeared, blinding Mikan for a couple of seconds.
When the light was gone, Mikan was surprised; in front of her was a kind of blue fairy. It had purple wings and spiky blue hair. It wore white gloves and had pink marks on its cheeks and chin. It wore a green suit and the Omnitrix on its chest.
{Note: I forgot to mention that the clothes the aliens wear are always green and it's not because of Ben or anything, it's simply because the color of this Omnitrix is green, the one from the Omniverse timeline, which, although we may be reluctant to admit it, is the original timeline. And yes, I know about the improvements they included in the aliens in that attempted reboot, but I'm not going to implement it, mainly because it's not necessary and secondly because I don't want to watch that garbage, I hope for your understanding.}
"A-A fairy?" – Mikan asked, surprised.
Was the alien Akira had transformed into a fairy?
"Ahem, theoretically this race is called Nemuina, but yes, it looks quite a lot like a fairy, yes" – I nodded.
It felt weird seeing things so big. Anyway, the sensation of having transformed into a Nemuina or as we will call it from now on Pesky Dust is basically like the sensation of getting smaller, but other than that, it's similar to what I feel when I transform into the other aliens.
"And what is it supposed to do?" – Mikan asked, full of curiosity.
"Simple, it can shoot a powder that makes victims fall asleep, it can also enter dreams and manipulate them at will and basically fly, fly fast" – I said.
"I see... are you planning to put Rito to sleep and modify his dreams to cheer him up or something?" – Mikan asked doubtfully.
Even if Rito dreamed something beautiful, Mikan doubted it would help him.
"Ahem, I will enter his dreams and cause him a nightmare, manipulating his dreams to show me why he is like this" – I said.
{Note: I could have done the same, but better with Ghostfreak, but I wanted to give it a different approach.}
"Oh, then I'll leave it to you then" – Mikan said.
Mikan wasn't going to ask any more questions, she trusted Akira and that was enough.
