Chapter 79 - Hide! Once Again From The Spirit Medium!

Everyone rests on the floor.

''Nice, I'll start working on it immediately''. Togata says as he starts searching stuff on his phone.

''Great! Ugh! I can't wait to get back home back to my bed! And sleep!''. Momo says stretching.

''Yeah, plus miss Seiko should already be back home''. Okarun points out.

''How do you know?''. Aira asks.

''Hahaha...Long story...''. Okarun replies laughing nervously.

Suddenly Togata remembers and gets nervous. He tries to get Aira's attention as she looks at him like a crazy person.

Togata gestures to his ear and tells her to keep quiet.

''What?''. Aira whispers as she doesn't understand.

Tick flies over and puts the communication devices back on her and the two communicate telepathically.

''Aira!''. Togata says.

''It's leader! And what's wrong!?''. Aira replies.

''It's miss Seiko! She will know about Death! She's going to see me and immediately know something is up I know it!''. Togata says worried.

''What and how is that a bad thing''. Aira asks.

''I just...Don't want anyone to know yet, we just finished dealing with the aliens, it's still too soon''. Togata replies.

''Ugh fine then what do we do, there's no way you can hide it from her, she saw Tick a while back didn't she?''. Aira asks.

''Unfortunately yes''. Tick replies.

''That's why I'm asking you''. Togata says.

''Fine...I guess...Oh you could do what Jiji did, like harnessing his Chi or something like that''. Aira says.

''What do you mean? How?''. Togata asks.

''It's like...How he keeps the Evil Eye from coming out sometimes, I bet it'll work for you too, maybe it can even hide your spiritual aura''. Aira advices.

''How do I do it?''. Togata asks.

''Just like I dunno, wait let me try something''. Aira says.

She turns towards Jiji.

''Hey Jiji! How do you do that Chi thing again''. Aira asks.

''How subtle''. Togata says to himself.

''Ohhh like this, You've gotta straighten your back and do a seiza sitting posture then focus your power on the point below your navel, lastly imagine there are laser beams coming out of the top of your head and your fingertips, oh yeah by they way you have to keep your body tough and try not to fall over''. Jiji says showing the position proud of himself.

''Woah you actually remembered all that?''. Momo says.

''Yep!''. Jiji replies sticking his tongue out.

''Why are you asking anyway miss Shiratori? You were there''. Okarun says.

''Uh just wondering, cause he was surprisingly useful in the battle earlier''. Aira replies.

''Twanks!''. Jiji says.

''Done did you hear that? Although I don't think you'll be able to learn it before we get there, it took Jiji a whole night plus miss Seiko calls him a prodigy, so anyway, anyhow, you're gonna have to tell everybody of what's going on''. Aira says to Togata telepathically as she removes the device.

''Than...''. Togata replies but notices she already disconnected.

''How rude! Anyway, young master unfortunately it seems to be a difficult task''. Tick says.

''It's no worry Tick, I should have a few minutes....''. Togata says as he is cut off by Mr Mantis Shirmp.

''Alright everyone we're almost there''. Mr Mantis Shrimp says.

''Ugh, damn it''. Togata says to himself.

''Oh my. Young master! It's now or never!''. Tick says.

He sighs and takes a deep breath as he adopts the position, suddenly a presence seems to lift from him as he feels lighter and happier.

''Tick, did you feel that?''. Togata asks.

''Indeed, I knew this power was an unholy ability!''. Tick says.

''Alright everyone we're here!''. Mr Mantis Shrimp says as the house stops moving stopping to a rest where it usually sits in Momo's yard.

Everyone walks out of the house to see miss Seiko cooking.

''Hey there kids, glad to see you all survived''. Seiko says.

''Grandma!''. Momo shouts as she runs over to her.

''Psh, I bet on you lot dying, or at least one of ya, turns out you all made it, I'm impressed''. Turbo Granny says.

''Well we're all alive and well ya dumb cat''. Aira replies.

Turbo granny gets up immediately. ''Why you!...''.

Seiko cuts her off as she dishes some plates of food for everyone. ''Well I made some food cause I knew you'd all be hungry, eat your fill!''. Seiko says. ''By the way someone was excited to see you''.

Suddenly Chiquitita runs up. ''Papa! Everyone!''.

''My boy!''. Mr Mantis Shrimp says as he runs over to hug him.

Chiquitita comes over to everyone and especially looks at Togata. ''Mr sad man! I'm glad you're alright!''.

Togata smiles as he bends down to greet him stretching a hand to pat his head. ''Im ok, we all are''.

Suddenly Aira smacks his hand away before he can touch him and give Togata the stink eye.

She runs over and grabs Chiquitita lifting him up and spinning him around. ''Chiquitita! You're so cute aren't you! C'mon lets go eat some food''. 

She turns around and stares at Togata one last time before proceeding.

Everyone goes over to take their food but Togata stands there.

Momo hugs her intensely stopping her from cooking.

''I said let go of me, you're getting in the way''. Seiko shouts trying to wring her off.

''Let me inhale your fragrance granny!''. Momo says still hugging her tightly.

Seiko kicks her off. ''There's no time to be going around sniffing people! A yarkiniku barbecue is a battlefield! Watch and learn from Vamola, do you see that technique!?''. 

Vamola gulps down the food incredibly quickly.

Seiko then notices Togata just standing on his own not eating. ''Hey kid, you just gonna stand there or are you gonna come over and get some grub!''.

Togata is shaken up by the statement as he walks over nervously Tick floating next to him as Togata picks his plate. Miss Seiko stares at him relentlessly noticing his suspicious behavior''. 

''What's wrong kid, yer acting weird''. Seiko says as she interrogates him.

''It's nothing''. Togata says still a bit nervous.

Seiko leans in closer inspecting him.

''Oh my! Oh my!''. Tick shouts in Togata's head nervous.

''You seem off kid, what's the matter?''. Seiko asks.

''Nothing! Really''. Togata replies.

''Hmm, I know what it is''. Seiko says as she pulls at his eyes and checks the bottom of his eyelids. ''You're exhausted and probably hungry, you look horrible kid, c'mon eat up, you need it, I'm sure you've all been through a lot''.

Togata is relieved but stunned. ''Thank...Thank you miss Seiko''. 

''Don't sweat it kid, this is against the rules of the barbecue but I saved a plate for ya, c'mon run off before anyone notices''. Seiko says.

Togata looks up at her with a smile, as she keeps cooking but sees the halo on her head as he sighs and heads off.

''I guess she's still in danger then''. Togata reminds.

''Unfortunately, but it seems the halo's on your friends are gone young master, that is a win in any case''. Tick replies.

''Guess, so, on Chiquitita's too''. Togata says as he looks at Chiquitita. He notices Aira babying him and chuckles.

''It seems the young lady has a soft spot''. Tick comments with a smile as well.

Aira looks over at him with a bad look but then sighs and walks over to him with Chiquitita in hand.

''What is it now?''. Aira asks. ''You better not try to hurt him or I swear I'll!.....''.

Togata cuts her off with a reply, slow and exhausted. ''No, it's gone, don't worry, on all of you too''.

''What's gone?''. Aira asks confused.

''The...I guess markers that say I have to hurt people, their gone so everyone's safe''. Togata replies as he pats Chiquitita's head happily. Chiquitita smiles.

Aira is stunned and her attitude changes immediately as she pouts and sighs. ''Ok, ok, I guess I was overreacting a little, ugh, you still look horrible, you should find a change of clothes''. 

Togata looks at himself, clothes torn, still the one's Chiquitita brought him that day on the farm.

He smiles lightly. ''Yeah...''.

''Momo go buy more curry!''. Seiko shouts as Momo begins to overreact telling her to keep quiet.

''Oh! Momo! Buy me a mokenbicha tea?''. Aira asks.

''Gingerale for me!''. Jiji says posing.

''Gingermale!''. Vamola says copying him.

''I'd like milk tea!''. Kinta asks as he poses in pride.

''Coffee, if they've got it''. Togata asks.

''Young master you know you could just send me!''. Tick says a bit offended.

''Buy you're own birdbrains!''. Momo replies.

''Shall we go?''. Okarun suggests.

The team walk to the store talking.

Jiji begins poking the hole in Togata's shirt. ''Pokey pokey!''. 

''Jiji, c'mon stop''. Togata laughs.

Jiji continues poking which turns into tickling but Togata doesn't react. ''Huh?! Where is your tickle spot! Are you even human?''.

''Ohh! Ohh I know!''. Tick says with pride.

''Tick, nuh uh, quiet''. Togata warns.

''Ehh whatever''. Jiji says as he switches over to bugging Aira. ''Tap tap! You sho is a kyootie!''.

''I will kill you!''. Aira warns suddenly she gasps looking at something in front of them. ''Momo! There's someone up ahead''.

The team see an impossibly tall woman in a long dress up ahead.
