Mikey's Parents~

It was already the 12th of October, which meant the Cultural Festival was around the corner. As a class, we were supposed to decide what kind of activity we wanted to settle for. As the event would take place on the 29th of October on a Saturday. And the week before we were supposed to start staying after school to help make the necessary decorations.

I was rather pumped at the idea, considering I never had similar experiences in my last life and school festivals always seemed fun, when watching anime.

The class president rose up to take the matters into their own hands, of course, we received flyers with the information that we could take to show our parents, and soon the ideas storming started.

Some wanted to make a play, but there was also mention of a haunting house, so I rose my hand to voice my own little idea, only to be ignored by this shitty person that was standing in the front. But like I would let my presence be ignored, especially when I would most likely be also involved in the process.

I cleared my throat really loudly, making them unable to ignore me, and then communicated my opinion by cutting off some other person.

"How about we make a maid cafe?" But even if my thought was heard the class president rolled their eyes at me. It only was written on the board when one of the guys repeated it. I was fuming, having an urge to just beat them all up. But I held myself back since there were better ways to make people respect you.

"You really going to let this slide?" Kisaki asked as he saw agitation written all over my face.

"Like I will waste my breath on small fries." We ended up voting soon after, somehow the guys had all one collective mind apparently, despite it being something that I wanted, they were more resolved on seeing girls dressed in cute maid outfits. The class president clicked their tongue but didn't refute the maid cafe idea now when it won the majority of votes.

"So who wants to take on the maid role?" I rose my hand the fastest, at first they wanted to refuse me, but Mr. Nomura that was overseeing it all had nothing of it.

Instead, the class decided it would be fun to bother me some other way. They came with the idea that every single maid should have an anime stereotype attached to them. What I was given sure wasn't to my liking, but Kisaki insisted I was born for that role.

Under lunch, I went to my usual dwelling spot, which was the twins' classroom. How come they never visited me instead? Today's topic here was also the Culture Festival seemingly, each year was preparing for it already.

"Our class plans to make a haunted house," Souya explained, but he seemed conflicted about the idea of scaring people.

"You two should come and visit our class during the Festival." Nahoya seemed to be already set on scaring us both, our response was that we would if, given the time, Senju then continued.

"We are going to make a play, I had to refuse a major role because my mind is set on the performance instead." I guess it would be hard to memorize the script with so little time, and every spare second was used for drum practice.

"What about your class?"

"We're making a maid cafe." I was quick to reply.

"I bet it was your idea," Nahoya mentioned as I nodded my head.

"However what wasn't my idea is every single maid performing some kind of role," I explained, still mad about that.

"What did they assign to you, let's hear it." I sighed and with a heavy voice admitted.

"They made me the delinquent maid." Nahoya was already cackling, and after he was done he added.

"That fits you so perfectly, I bet they knew what they were doing." I really wanted to strangle him right now.

"What role would you have wanted?" Souya was quick to ask, making my mood better.

"Of course, I have to either be the cute maid or the Ara Ara Maid." Only now did the peachy guy stop laughing.

"What does Ara Ara even mean?" Naturally, I had to give him a visual explanation. So I crossed my legs, and straighten my back while I put away some hair strands behind my ear. Then with the most seductive voice, I said.

"Ara Ara~" I couldn't leave a wink out of it.

"That's hot..." Was the only thing we heard leaving his mouth.

"Brother!" Souya let a desperate whine as Nahoya waved his hand.

"Don't worry I'm not much interested in gremlins." I had to shoot back.

"I'm not much interested in clowns either, so we are on the same page." Another fight between us broke out.

When we had our band practice today something transpired.

"Anyone of you has a pad perhaps that I can use?" It seemed like Yuzuha got her period while getting here and forgot to bring her own, she was offered one from Hinata, who seemed to be somewhat prepared for such situations.

"I always carry around some in case anyone in class needs it." The purest sunshine to exist.

"I also carry around some, even if I don't need it myself." It being a habit I accumulated in my past life.

Suddenly we arrived at a full-out conversation about periods and whatnot, me being the one that encouraged this kind of topic. From the start, I could tell they were hesitant to discuss it, but after I assured them there was no shame in talking about something so natural, they loosened up and started to share some tips with each other.

"But wait how come you don't need it yourself." Ha, after coming into this body I haven't had it even once. Hence it hasn't yet begun.

"I haven't had it yet," I said like it was the proudest achievement known to human civilization. But I must have jinxed myself because Venus came out and on her screen was displayed this nasty emoji.

"( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)" I was already aware I messed up because a notification popped up as I stared at it in horror.

'Would you rather have your period begin right now or never have kids in this body?' This seemed quite deceitful, as much as I dreaded the arrival of my period, I didn't want to have any further health complications, also just because it said I would have no kids, didn't mean I wouldn't have a period.

"Never mind," I said in the most I'm done with life tone. I picked the first option and just retreated to the bathroom with Yuzuha after taking my pad.

"Are you trying to say you got yours after we started to talk about the topic? That's hilarious." Well at least she had a laugh, but as I was struggling in the bathroom a call came thru, from Draken nonetheless that was pretty persistent.

'Would you rather pick up the call or call him back twenty times later, having a 20-minute conversation each time?' Wow, the system today was out for blood.

"What?" I asked quite pissed at the progress of this day while accepting the call.

"Michi, what have you done?!" So now I had to deal with his accusations, what could it possibly be?

"What are you even yapping about? I have something important to take care of right now!"

"Mikey is spewing nonsense, and I'm pretty sure you are behind it." Ok, but where was the evidence?

"Did you introduce him to some middle age couple perhaps?" I was too stunned, what the hell was he on?

"The heck?" Was the only sound I could make. Soon he was babbling about someone grooming Mikey or whatever, I lost interest in whatever drugs he was smoking pretty quickly.

"Listen here! I'm dealing with having my first period ever and here you come, talking bullshit, I have no time for this. Let me dwell in my sorrow in peace." I ended the call, but the girls found our interaction hilarious once I was fuming about it in the practice room.

"Michi... Draken wants to meet you." Emma informed me I would have refused, considering my circumstances, but the system wanted me to follow thru.

'Would you rather visit Taiju Shiba and complain about your situation to him or go see Ken Ryuguji?' I don't think complaining to Taiju about bleeding every month would change anything, besides he didn't look like much of an empathetic person. Would he even know what that was? Considering Japanese society was probably super secretive about that stuff some people could be ignorant.

"Let's go meet Draken, I will chew him out if he dares to accuse me of something again." And so Emma decided to support me in this endeavor, she even assured me she would take my side if he dared to yell at me considering my circumstances.

But when we reached the destination, I was given a bar of chocolate and an apology.

"I'm sorry I was way out of line, it's just that nowadays everything weird that happens with Mikey can be traced back to your influence." It was rare to see him like this.

"Apology accepted... but what's wrong, what caused you to overreact like this?" Draken just sighed kind of defeated.

"He just keeps mentioning how great it is to have parents again. So my brain jumped to the weirdest of conclusions." It seemed like Mitsuya that was present talked some sense into him.

"Wait... parents... Where is Mikey?" I asked as he was just sitting in one of the restaurants waving at us to come to join him. As soon as we did the first thing I asked him was.

"Did Ran approach you recently?" He gasped, wait why was he this cute? Where was this childlike demeanor coming from? Would he keep acting like a kid in front of me?

"I saw him yesterday." Mitsuya then dared to ask.

"Wait Ran... Haitani Ran?" Mikey just nodded his head, probably in his mind suddenly he was accepted as a father, maybe? I had to find out.

"What did he tell you?" I inquired.

"He said you two need to have a talk, that you shouldn't divorce him, to think about your kids." Wait, what was this dumbass up to?

"Anything else?"Mikey then leaned in.

"I shouldn't be telling you this, but he said he would buy as many Taiyaki I want as long I keep calling him dad." Mikey seemed to have fun with this bizarre situation at least. But Draken seemed to have deducted what was going on.

"Wait a moment Mikey, are you seriously calling Michi mom, and Ran Haitaini of all people, dad? What is even going on?"

"Michi you have some explanations to make!" Draken was back to being angry. If I explained the situation it meant admitting that I got Mikey drunk at least that's the explanation Manjiro himself got. Nope, no, not dealing with this. I rather laze on the sofa.

"Ah look at the time, my favorite historical drama will start soon, gotta go!" And I ran for it as fast as I could.
