Chapter 15 - Archival 15: Fukumoto's Family Vacation

Previously… Buster had received a letter from Himari detailing their plans for their yearly vacation; they would be going to Jimmens this year.

Buster glanced around the house, wondering if it seemed clean enough for when they arrived. He sighed as he walked toward Bmon's door, knocking on it moments later.

"Hey, Bmon! There's some important news that I need to tell you!" He shouted, Bmon opened the door slowly while yawning. "What is it… Did you build another robot that self-destructs again-" He paused as he felt his phone ringing in his pocket, he picked it up and answered it.

"Yo, who's calling?"

"Yes um… It's me, Naheeno. Bmon, can you help me out really quick? I seem to be being followed by a young girl, and I don't know who she is… She seems to be rather interested in how I'm able to fly and be slimy at the same time."

"...Who would be interested in a pink flying ball of slimy goo that wears sunglasses?" Bmon questioned. "No idea, do you think if I give her a cactus that she might go elsewhere?" He asked.

"...Don't give random individuals cacti, Naheeno. Anyway… Can you at least tell me her name so I have some idea of who you're talking about?"

"Oh! Um… Yeah, her name is "Hana" I believe. That's what she told me when she first walked up to me…"

Bmon blinked momentarily before looking at Buster. "...Was the important news that my family would be coming to Jimmens, Buster?" He questioned. Buster stood there for a moment before responding. "...Maybe?"

Bmon facepalmed in response. "God damn it… Okay, Naheeno if you're still there. Can you bring Hana to my house? She happens to be my younger sister…"

"...Oh, epic. I remember you saying you met your family a few days ago, so this is one of your family members? Yeah. I'll bring her over there shortly, gotta win this cactus plush first." Bmon could briefly hear the sounds of a claw machine in the background, giving him the conclusion that Naheeno was at the arcade before he hung up.

"...Was he at the arcade just now? I didn't know he played claw machines… Usually he only goes there to play rhythm games." Buster shrugged before calling Himari. "Hey um, did you know that Hana is currently following one of Bmon's friends?"

"Oh, so that's where she went… I had just assumed she went over to your house because we were close by at the time. Hey, dear! Look at that, there's a person with a really long neck!" She pointed at a random civilian.

Buster glanced at Bmon with confusion in his eyes. "Himari, y-you can't just point at random civilians…" Dan replied. "Dad, Mom… Can we check out the nearest clothing store?" Tsubame asked. "S-Sure hold on… OH yeah. Buster, Yuto is outside of your house asleep on a chair beside the pool by the way…"

"E-Eh? He's what?" Meanwhile… Kana had changed into a bathing suit and was now infront of the slide on the second floor, she pressed the button that opens the wall up.

"Nothing beats a nice relaxing moment in the pool, but first…" She jumped onto the slide, a fun slide later and she landed in the pool. Once she rose above the water, she noticed Yuto asleep on one of the chairs. "...Who left their grandpa here?" She tilted her head with confusion.

An hour later… Naheeno and Hana arrive at Bmon's house at the same time that Himari, Dan and Tsubame did. "...I'm assuming that you're the rest of his family? I'm Naheeno. Also, take this. You might need it later." He handed them a cactus in a pot.

Dan looked at the cactus before glancing back at Naheeno. "...Wait, why do we need a cactus-"

"Nevermind that, I think an explosion is about to happen." Naheeno warned. Tsubame tilted her head. "...What, are you some sort of explosion detector-"

BOOM!

Buster's lab exploded just as Tsubame had questioned Naheeno, Bmon and Buster crashed onto the ground. "O-Ow. That… Hurt a lot…"

"...W-Why does everything you invent have some capability of exploding, o-ow…" Bmon glared at him.

"See? I had a feeling there was going to be some kind of explosion on the third floor, I think." Naheeno explained. "H-How though?" Tsubame questioned.

"Bmon! It's been… Well it's been around 3 days since we last saw each other so I suppose it hasn't been that long."

"...Hello, father. Tell Buster to stop making inventions that have the capability of self-destructing…" Dan laughed in response. "What's a little harm in explosions, right?"

They glanced over at the pool, where Kana was swimming. Yuto slowly walked toward them while yawning. "You know… That has got to be one of the best naps I've ever had…"

"...He's been there the whole time?" Bmon asked as Buster nodded. Immediately after, Daisuke used the teleporter Buster made to go to Bmon's house. As he walked to the front, Tsubame saw him and blushed.

"What…" Bmon watched as Tsubame seemingly fell in love with Daisuke. "W-Who is that? He's cute…" Tsubame asked.

Bmon facepalmed. "...That's my childhood friend, Daisuke. Haven't you seen him before? Also he's younger than you, calm down…"

"He's your childhood friend…" She nodded before looking away in embarrassment as Daisuke walked closer. "...So uh. Why is the whole family present?" He questioned.

"Apparently, they decided to have their vacation in Jimmens. At least, that's what Buster seemed to suggest." Daisuke nodded in response before grabbing something from his bag.

"Look at this, it's a figurine of Hachi from Tsukihime Finders. Apparently it was a collector's item that I won while walking around Akihabara…" He showed Bmon.

"...I mean, that's cool and all. But why would I be interested in that-" Tsubame pushed Bmon to the side before he could finish. "C-Could I have that!? I-I love Tsukihime Finders…"

Daisuke tilted his head momentarily. "S-Sure…? I don't think I've seen it. So it probably has more value to you than it does to me…" He hands her the figurine. Tsubame nodded appreciatively. "T-Thank you…!"

Bmon sighed. "What a day this has been… Naheeno, let's go play Rhythm Beating 2." Naheeno looked at him with an unreadable expression before nodding. Bmon's parent's laughed as everyone went about their daily activities.
