Chapter 89 - Damn Traitor!

''You damn bastard I'll teach you to try and kill my grandma! Togata move over don't kill him like that it'll be too painless!''. Momo shouts as she walks over.

Seiko grabs her pulling her back stopping her from hitting the man as she punches into the air.

''Hey why the hell are you protecting him, he's the one that tried to kill you!''. Momo shouts.

''Grr, I'm gonna murderize ya!''. Turbo granny shouts.

''AHHH!''. Minato screams scurrying backwards.

''Albert!''. Seiko says.

Tick immediately grabs Turbo Granny.

''Let go of me you piece of shit!''. Turbo Granny shouts.

''Yeah but if we beat him up he could sue and we'd lose money! Like I said he'll pay us extra for saving his life so hurting him is off limits, you too Togata, weapon down''. Seiko says.

''You know he tried to murc me too, I ain't backing down so easily, gotta slice him up a bit first''. Togata says in reaper form smiling.

''AHHH PLEASE SPARE ME!''. The man cries.

''I agree!''. Tick shouts in anger.

''That's dark''. Aira says.

''Woah! Togata! You look so cool!''. Jiji says touching Togata's cloak.

''Mr Enjoji please restrain yourself this is a serious matter''. Tick sighs.

''Togata, back down''. Seiko says.

Togata grunts. ''Fine! Only cause it's you G-ma''.

''G-MA!?''. Everyone shouts.

Togata de-transforms to think straight. ''So what do we need from him anyway we know he's a person who feeds spirit mediums to spirits''.

Seiko walks towards him. ''How sure are we when we've never let him speak?''.

The man cowers in fear hiding his head.

''Hey Minato was it? So, why'd you try to feed me to a damn Oni!?''. Seiko shouts.

The man doesn't respond but still cries.

''Now he won't talk? Damn bastard!''. Momo says.

Togata sighs as he feels a bit of compassion. ''Seems to me like he's been through a lot too, no one would serve an Oni willingly in my opinion''.

Everyone silently agrees.

Togata gets a plate of rice and gives it to him. ''Here calm down''. Togata sighs. ''We're not going to hurt you''.

''As compassionate as ever young master!''. Tick praises.

''That's the spirit kid''. Seiko says approvingly.

''Giving him our food too!?''. Momo grumbles.

''Stand down everyone''. Seiko says. ''It'll help him calm down''.

Everyone de-transforms.

Minato calms down and begins eating but everyone stares at him.

''Alright that's enough''. Aira says taking it away from him.

''Miss Shiratori...That's rude''. Okarun says.

''We ain't got all night, for once I agree''. Momo says.

''So talk you wannabe murderer what did you want to kill miss Seiko for!?''. Aira shouts.

''I'm so sorry, I...That Oni, it wandered onto my farm and killed most of my animals, it destroyed my livelihood then it said it would kill me too if I didn't bring spirit mediums for it to eat, it said if I brought enough he would let me go''. The man explains. ''Of course I knew that was bullshit, I planned and got everything ready and I would leave when he was busy eating, but that Okubi on it's head somehow found out and placed a curse on me trapping me in the village''.

Everyone feels sorry for him hearing his tragedy.

''Yeah...Well that doesn't give you a reason to go around killing spirit mediums''. Momo says.

''I'm sorry''. Minato says.

''Well everything's sorted now, it's no problem''. Seiko says.

''Thank you miss, you've saved my life and my farm how can I ever repay you''. Minato says.

Seiko stretches out her hand as she gestures for him to put something in it.

''Psh, you're bad Seiko, tryna act all kind, you just want some dough didn't ya?''. Turbo Granny says.

''We solved his problem and worked overtime, the least he could do is repay the favor''. Seiko says.

Everyone looks at him.

''I actually don't have any money miss, but...My farm I promise to give you fresh produce every week, in return for saving my life''. Minato says.

''Eh, good enough, c'mon you've had your fill now go home and start farming!''. Seiko says as she sits down.

''Yes miss! Thank you all! I'll be seeing you soon!''. Minato says as he bows and leaves the house.

''Well that's that, c'mon the rest of ya too, go home you have school tomorrow''. Seiko says.

''Damn right, I need my beauty sleep''. Aira says. ''Seeya, bye Takakura!''. 

''Yes miss Seiko...Bye everyone''. Okarun says.

Everyone leaves except for Togata and Tick.

''Well since you're gonna be staying here where are your stuff?''. Momo asks.

''I will bring them right away!''. Tick shouts as he flies out of the house excitedly.

Togata just laughs. 

''You're ghost is a gold digger kid''. Turbo Granny says walking away.

''Anyway you kids should get ready for bed, Vamola go brush you're teeth''. Seiko says.

''Yes...Togata we need to sleep early, fellows like us must not be late''. Vamola says happily as she skips upstairs.

Togata smiles as he watches her. ''She talks...''.

''Weird yeah, kind of like Okarun but worse''. Momo says. ''But it's better that way''.

''Yeah, just glad she's learnt so quickly''. Togata says as he goes outside.

''Where ya going kid?''. Seiko says somehow noticing without even looking.

''Just going outside to wait for Tick, I don't have my toothbrush anyway''. Togata explains.

''Go ahead''. Seiko says. ''And Momo go brush your damn teeth!''. 

''Yeah yeah hold your horses I'm going!''. Momo shouts back as she heads upstairs.

''Uh huh''. Seiko replies.

Togata just laughs as he goes outside waiting.

When Tick arrives the two enter the house as Tick excitedly places Togata's things down.

''You were quick, a bit too quick''. Togata teases seeing his enthusiasm.

''Eh ehm, well I can't pretend as though I am not excited that we will not be sleeping underground!''. Tick complains.

''It wasn't that bad''. Togata jokes.

''I thought I taught you not to lie young master''. Tick says.

Suddenly Vamola rushes downstairs. ''Tick ghost! A fellow as myself will help you''. Vamola says as she helps him take their stuff.

''Oh what a polite girl you've become, young master I'm quite sure that you can learn from her''. Tick says.

''Uh huh''. Togata says as he heads outside.

Momo follows after him to find him sitting on the roof with a paper by his side as he looks up at the stars phone in hand.

''You seem to like going outside a lot''. Momo says as she stands next to him. ''What'cha doing?''.

''Just working, cross referencing planets, if we're going to find Vamola's home we're going to have to narrow the search down to a few closer galaxies''. Togata replies.

''Ugh, galaxies? Sounds like work''. Momo says as she sits down. ''Is that all you do?''.

''I guess, I'm just used to it''. Togata says.

Momo stares at him.

''What?''. Togata asks.

''Oh nothing looks to me like your compensating for something, you're nervous about tomorrow aren't you?''. Momo asks.

Togata smiles. ''Of course I am, but I wouldn't call this compensation, it's just what I do''.

''Well I believe that''. Momo says.

The two hear Tick and Vamola excitedly playing in the house as Seiko shouts at them to go to bed.

''Those two are really having a blast aren't they?''. Momo says.

''Yeah I can feel Tick is happy to have someone to teach and take care of, it's what he does, ever since I stopped relying on him to tell me to brush my teeth or change my underwear he's been feeling a bit useless''. Togata jokes.

''HA!''. Momo laughs. ''See that's more like it''. 

''What?''. Togata asks.

''The honesty, that book you've been reading has been working''. Momo jokes.

''Yeah right''. Togata says.

''Oh yeah? C'mon let me see it!''. Momo says as she grabs his phone as runs off.

''Hey!''. Togata says trying to grab it back. ''Momo...No''.

''Let's see...I know it's on here, Ah Ha! Here, IQ vs EQ, A guide on emotional intelligence!?''. Momo reads as she bursts into laughter.

''Ha, ha''. Togata laughs sarcastically. ''Now you've seen it are you happy now?''.

''Wait not yet''. Momo says as she scrolls through the book. ''Chapter 1, First Impressions, how to make friends?! Chapter 6, Friendly banter!? This is precious''. Momo laughs.

Togata sits down as he watches her. ''This is considered bullying''.

Momo walks over. ''Oh c'mon just checking on ya''. 

Then Momo accidently presses his contacts. And on it only shows Tick and Work.

Togata looks at it eyes wide as he grabs the phone.

''Sorry I didn't mean to...Woah...Dude you really do only work''. Momo says.

Togata sighs. ''Always have''.

Momo pushes closer. ''Hey, remind me that when I buy a new phone to get your number ok?''.

Togata smiles as he adjusts his glasses. ''...Sure...''.

''So you ready for tomorrow?''. Momo asks.

''As ready as I'll ever be''. Togata replies.

''Hey no need to worry, we'll all be there with ya, no matter what''. Momo says.

Togata smiles as he turns away. ''You're corny''.

''EHH!?''. Momo says as she punches him in the arm. ''And there I was tryna help you!''. She shouts as she gets up and stomps away.

''I'm sorry! I was just joking!''. Togata calls out.

''Yeah well joke in ya sleep! Goodnight!''. Momo shouts out.

Togata just smiles as he heads downstairs his bed already prepared.

''Sorry about this Togata but you're gonna have to sleep here''. Seiko says.

''It's alright, it's better than our...Last arrangements''. Togata says.

''Hmm!''. Tick grunts in a I was right manner.

''Goodnight Togata!''. Vamola says excitedly as she spins around him and heads upstairs.

''Night Vamola''. Togata replies.

''Vamola don't run around you'll fall! Ugh I can't keep up with these kids''. Seiko says. '

Momo stomps upstairs.

''Goodnight Momo''. Togata says.

''Uh huh!''. Momo replies heading upstairs.

Togata just laughs as he sees Turbo Granny staring at him from below.

''Yeah you too Turbo Granny''. Togata says.

''Like I asked! Hope you choke in your sleep!''. Turbo Granny says as she scurries upstairs struggling to climb the steps as she falls.

''Do you maybe need assistance cat!?''. Tick teases.

''Shut it!''. Turbo Granny replies finally managing to get upstairs.

Togata smiles as he enters his makeshift bed.

''Now this is more like it isn't it young master?''. Tick says.

''It's better, the company not the location''. Togata says.

''Then maybe you should sleep outside tonight?''. Tick teases.

''I'm going to sleep Tick, goodnight''. Togata says as he dodges the question.

''Hmm, yes goodnight young master''. Tick says with a smile.
