Not long after Tadashi fell asleep, BaoBao woke Naoko up and they carried out what they planned. She put on the invisibility ring and left her room to go to her mecha. Along the way, BaoBao helped to power whatever needed to be powered up and kept the rest of the hover ship in its power saving mode. He also made sure that there were no traces of their little adventure in the hover ship system. Her mecha was made black to blend into the night and BaoBao activated the black matter cloak. After informing her that it would stay activated as long as he does not deactivate it, he opened the hangar doors for Naoko to leave then closed it back. The view outside was almost a pitch black. The canopy blocked out most of the moonlight. If not for the night vision of the mecha, she may have flown into several things already.  With no need to worry about creatures that could locate them by echolocation or electromagnetic waves, they stayed on high alert for the c

"What?!" Aimi and Isamu half-yelled in their shock at Naoko's suggestion. Her insane idea completely threw Tadashi's request to split up to the back of their minds. "There's nothing around right now. If it's only for awhile, it's fine. Don't you think so?" Naoko continued to speak before they had a chance to recover from their shock. "Let's do it!" Tadashi's eyes were practically sparkling. Was he finally getting to learn the trick that Naoko did the last time? "Feel free to join us." Naoko made it such that they were going to do it whether the other two agreed to the idea or not. "I'll join." Aimi blurted out. Isamu went on about how they were all crazy and volunteered to stay on the lookout. "All of you will only have yourself to blame if you die because of your crazy antics." He commented while they left their mechas.  Naoko jumped off her platform without a single fear. Tadashi was visibly excited but jumpy. His eyes darted ar

Aimi served them breakfast as soon as they sat down. "Good work to the both of you!" They said their thanks then dug in. While Tadashi continued to eat normally, Naoko paused after her first bite. The taste was incredibly bad, so bad that it was an assault to her senses. This could not be a mistake, could it? Even if it was intentional, Aimi should not be dumb enough to give Naoko spoilt food only to ruin her image as a cook and jeapordise this journey by having someone fall ill. So, it should be safe to eat. Although, the pause was brief, it was enough to catch Tadashi's attention. "Igarashi-san, how's the food? Is it to your taste?" It sounded a little funny that such questions were coming from Tadashi instead of the cook. Naoko hesitated about telling the truth. She did not want her words to be regarded as slander. "How about you try it?" She offered with a sweet smile. Tadashi stared at the meat and rice in her spoon in surprise then

Naoko's and Tadashi's morning practice went smoothly with each of them focusing on their task. When Naoko was done with her mecha practice, she looked at Tadashi who was still hard at work with his eyes closed and a slight frown on his forehead. Naoko squatted down in front of him and waited silently for him to open his eyes by himself. With a disgruntled tone, he said softly, "Nothing at all.""It should be expected. You're just beginning. It'd be more surprising if you got something immediately." His eyes slightly rounded in surprise. Normally, someone would sound more comforting than she did. However, the way Naoko said it with such a flat expression and like it was a matter of fact reassured him more than any sympathetic or kind smile would have. He laughed then said, "You're right. Let's go for breakfast." This time, Aimi did not do anything funny to Naoko's breakfast. In fact, she gave Naoko a larger portion than the o

As the days passed by uneventfully, Naoko caught on to Aimi's strategy. She was slowly but surely adopting Naoko's ways. The things she did. The way she dressed, behaved, and expressed herself. She even expressed an interest in the martial arts that Naoko practiced, then learnt it by herself through the web. However, with the knowledge that Aimi was a fellow transmigrator, Naoko was willing to bet that she definitely had prior experience and knowledge. The way she moved was far too natural. Nonetheless, it was increasingly frustrating for Naoko to witness how everything Aimi did, Aimi did and looked better. It was a painful reminder of how she would never amount to much. The others had only shown a brief and itsy-bitsy interest in martial arts until Aimi practised it too. Watching how Aimi could make the boys, including Tadashi, do things just by doing it herself made Naoko cringe. Unbeknownst to Naoko, it was merely a matter of coincidence that Tadashi expressed his interest at the
