Dear all, sorry it seemed like I have abandoned this fic, but no I have not, so here is another chapter. The plot has been laid down long ago so it's really a matter of finishing it and I will!
@anzai-san and fuu-kun: Thanks for leaving me the messages! Although I haven't written much, Saemayu's fic is my favorite so far, and I can't resist writing more of them in the future! I've always thought about how Cyborg love-stories are like, and since I don't know how cyborgs feel, I decide to leave the love of Mayu to Sae ambiguous...though to me, I'm certain that it's present and defies all AI logic. I'm really glad you liked it, thanks again!

Heaven on Earth - Chapter 9 - Uekara Maritroll“Yuki-san, let me kiss you!” Haruna grabs on the shocked Yuki and starts licking her nape.
“Delicious…”
“Disgusting!!!” Yuki uses all her might to push her harasser away, but it’s useless. Like a shower curtain that refuses to stay off your skin no matter how many times you peel it away [A/N: It’s a really bizarre metaphor, but it’s so true, isn’t it?!], the agile Kojiharu clamps her legs around Yuki’s waist if her arms are pulled away, and when Mayu tries to grab her legs, she flings her arms and links them securely around Yuki’s.
On the other hand, Mayu finds more and more scratches on her arms and feet as she’s the only one trying to assist Yuki.
“What the heck? Sae!!! Yuko!!!!!!!!” The princess cries for help without looking back, as she plunges back to the two intertwined figure. Haruna has already undressed herself and is busy biting off buttons on Yuki’s blouse.
“My new shirt!…..AH….Don’t..” Poor Yuki is abruptly stopped by a pair of lips forcing onto hers. There isn’t even time to blink before she finds the mad girl’s tongue attacking aggressively into her mouth. At this rate, Yukirin thinks, she’ll suffocate to death before she can truly appreciate Haruna’s well-endowed body, rubbing against her own….
“Stop perving, Yuki! Help me out….help yourself here!”
Mayu totally saw the weakening and somewhat enjoyment in Yuki’s eyes, and jealousy fueled her fighting power. This time, she’s able to throw a large punch at Haruna, separating her from the poor mechanic, who is now gasping for breath.
Mayu immediately shields the recovering Yuki and shouts “Where are you, Yuko, Sae! She’s coming at us again!”
“Mayu, we can’t! I’m too scared!!!” Sae yelps as she and Sayaka crouch behind the couch. Yuko has actually climbed on Haruna, trying to slow her down, but her small size is a mere annoyance to the heated girl who’s charging right back at Mayu and Yuki.
She rushes out of the apartment, pulling Yuki along with her, with the chasing Haruna who has the squirrel clutching around her neck. Mayu turns on the garden hose and shoots water at her pursuer.
“Stay away!”
Haruna frowns at the spraying of water and cowers, letting out the vicious hiss. The unstoppable girl is finally stalled by Mayu’s hose.
Yuko jumps off and cleans the lipstick off her body with the shooting water.
“Yuko, tell me what happened.” Mayu asks without taking her eyes off Haruna.
“Shortly after Mariko took Honmayan away, Nyannyan starts acting weird…”
“Wait who is Mariko? Nevermind, continue, it’s not important…”
“Ok, so after that, Nyannyan said that it’s super hot and then tried to strip herself naked. I was like @w@ for a bit, but when she starts kissing and attacking me aggressively, I realized things were going out of control. Then her target shifts to Sayaka, so both of us tried to stop her, but Sae is such a wimp that she barely scratched her back…speaking of the devil…where are the dogs?”
“OK… I have the answer. I think your nyannyan is really a cat.”
“What????!”
“Look at my scratches.” Mayu shows her lines of wounds that looks like paw scratching. “And remember? Sae is scared of cats, that’s the only thing she’s scared of. And…look at Haruna now, totally pissed and not willing to come near the water. Lastly, she’s not just a cat, she’s a cat on heat cycle.”
Yuko’s mouth dropped at the princess theory, which sounds crazy but just might be true. Yukirin is still confused as to why Mayu has started having a weird conversation with a squirrel, as if they understood exactly what each other has said.
“Mayu…fill me in here…so you were speculating based on your own imaginary monologue…..or what? And how can Haruna be anything but a human? Look at her boobs!”
Oh crap…Mayu thought as she openly converses with Yuko, forgetting Yuki’s presence. “Well…I’m just, you know, thinking out loud…. But Yuki!! Stop staring at Haruna’s body! When I say ‘cat’, I don’t really mean she is, I just mean, she acts like one.”
Yuki looks at Mayu with furrowed eyebrows and nods slowly. (I’m just nodding because I don’t know what else to think…Yuki thought)
“No…wait…what?” It’s Yuko’s turn to question the princess now.
At this point, Sayaka and Sae both crept out into the open and joined the gang.
“Yuko! Did Mayu just say Haruna-sama is a ‘cat’? I mean, that kind of explains why I got scared of her…sorry, cats are my only weakness…”
“SayakAAA! Me too! We’re a match made in heaven!” Sae momentarily forgot Haruna’s presence at the other side and jumps in joy.
“O just shut up already!” Mayu silenced their barks and squeals and whatever noises Yuko’s making. Armed with the hose, Mayu walk towards the hissing girl calmly, and suddenly blew a strike that knocks her off. “Bedtime, sweet pie.”
“God, Mayu, we need to tie her up quick before she goes berserk again…” Yuki hurries forward and helped her carry the passed out Haruna back, tying her securely on the kitchen chair.
“Mayu…we need to talk…” Sae ‘whispers’.
“Yuki, why don’t you go take a shower and clean yourself up? It’s been a long day for you…”
Yuki comes close and planted a quick kiss on the princess’ forehead. “OK, I’ll be waiting for you inside…” Walking away, she didn’t forget to turn back and wink, catching the blushing Mayu in surprise.
“Geez, you two…when did tha’ happen?” The sour voice came from the squirrel climbing up to the princess’ shoulders. She seems to be the only one left behind in the gang who found love.
Mayu ignores her and continued to walk towards the couch, sitting down and getting into deep thought.
“Mayu-chan…what did you say about Haruna-san being a cat?” Sae asks again. “There’s something I recall us seeing before Honmayan showed up. We’re trying to delete all tracking information from the system that those guys used to chase down Haruna-san…and I remember in that thing called ‘UZA’….
(flashback to twintower mission…)
“That must be UZA….” Sayaka walks closer to a super-computer structure with a blinking screen.
“They built all this just to track Hurana-san? Unbelievable…” Sae jumps up onto the keyboard and scrutinizes the screen closely…
“Sayaka, look! There are so many profiles on the screen. Some are just machines, but there are others with weird names without pictures…See, ‘Honmayan’…and then here,” Sae continues to scroll down, “a robot called ‘Cyborg’ and another one called ‘Sashiko’… I wonder what these records are for…but the strange thing is, Haruna-san’s name is here too!”
Sayaka blinks to reconfirm this picture in front of her, labelled as ‘Harunyan’. Typing some codes, Sae manages to unlock the profile.
Strangely, everything in it is empty, except for a line of code which is identified as “DNA tracking.”
(end of flashback…)
“The profile is named ‘Harunyan’! That can’t be a coincidence! It must mean something…”
“Sae!” Sayaka interjected. “This must be Mariko’s doing! My master is not a cat! She must have done something to her!!”
“Translate, Sae!” Mayu watches the dog’s barks urgently.
“Wait, you two can understand each other perfectly?” Sayaka crooks her neck in confusion.
“I’ll explain later, Sayaka.” Sae looks away from the dog guiltily. *Shit, one day, she must know the truth. “Mayu, she just said that Mariko must be behind this!”
“Yes Yes,” Yuko chimes in, just because she kinda hates her lover’s lover.
“O right, who’s Mariko?”
“What? You don’t know? Weren’t you here when we talked about her being Nyannyan’s girlfriend?” Then Yuko gasped and recalled. Sayaka was the first one who talked about Mariko (and Mayu can’t understand her), plus Haruna never mentioned her name directly when Mayu and Yuki were around. In addition, when she came to take Honmayan back, both girls weren’t around.
“Mayu-chan, Mariko is a woman who seems to have her own agenda besides helping Haruna destroy all prototypes her dad invented. After all, I think she’s also after Haruna’s secret cyborg code….she doesn’t actually love her… I can tell. I can.” Yuko continues her rant. “She is short-haired to start off with. Not trustworthy at all.” Sae gives her friend a glare since she is short-haired too. “And that smile. So fake. It’s more like a trollface…”
“Troll-face…Mariko…short-haired….” Mayu started piecing the information together…her eyes slowly widens in realization.
“Fuck. Fuck. Fu-FU- FUCK!”
“What’s wrong?” The animals bark/squeal in unison. At the same time, Yuki came out of her shower, confusion written all over her face as she sees a bunch of eager animals surrounding a person who just swore at them.
“It’s…” Mayu glances at Sayaka, then at Yuki. “It’s…so late! Yuki, wait for me inside while I go check on Haruna one more time. Sayaka, come with me and watch over your master tonight.”
“O I thought you’re swearing. Apparently, you’re just eager to do it…tsk tsk, young people these days..” The black Yukirin mode is on again, as she smiled sheepishly and entered the room before Mayu got what she meant and blushed again.
After checking out the knots on the kitchen chair and making sure that Haruna is fast asleep with a blanket on top and a loyal Sayaka by her side, Mayu retreats to the other corner of the living room, eyeing Sae and Yuko to come close for a few quick words.
“It’s my f-ing sketchbook again!” She whispers. “I remember now. Apart from Nirouni, your (looking at Sae menacingly) Yuihan drew a crapload of nonsense like Honmayan and veggie-robots and godknowswhatelse, but the important thing is, I drew Maritroll, a smartass who’s supposed to be an overlord of these things. I mean, she’s harmless I guess…she just likes to troll…so, yeah…” Mayuyu voice trails off.
“But,” Yuko probes cautiously, “did you draw Nyannyan too?”
Mayu looks at Yuko, and is immediately taken aback by the teary eyes she’s facing. Yuko has never sounded like this before. This girl is REALLY in love. Luckily, Mayu has ruled out this possibility.
“I didn’t draw her. And it’s impossible that Yuihan’s capable of such high level drawing…I mean, look at her. She’s actually cute.” Although the ‘cute’ reeks of jealousy as she’s reminded of how Yuki got so smitten with Kojipa’s charm…twice.
“Ok…no need to get too antsy here…” Sae jumps in. “It’s late and there’s a lot of thinking to do. Plus, you gotta fix the door before you go to bed.” Sae and Yuko both gave the princess the sorry-i-am-not-human-or-i-wouldve-loved-to-help face and scooted away to Sayaka and Haruna respectively, leaving Mayu staring at the doorway, with some pieces of wood beside it.
Sighing, Mayu somehow started fixing the wood and boards into the doorway and hammering some nails into the hinges, applying what she’s learned at work today. During this home-improvement task, she starts thinking about why Haruna is acting like a cat. Is it because she IS a cat, disguised as a human? Or a human, whose DNA has somehow been altered with cat’s genes? Mayu still remembers how Sae mentioned that Haruna’s profile in UZA is somehow marked with ‘DNA tracking’, although she’s not entirely sure of what this means. She has to be human, or how else would Sayaka not have known all these years? So, what has triggered her ‘heat cycle’, does it…have anything to do with Maritroll’s visit?
Quite sure that the doorway is securely boarded up, Mayu cleaned herself and went back to their bedroom, where she finds Yukirin fast asleep while waiting for her. The lights are still on, and before the princess reaches for the switch, her eyes stay laid on Yuki’s face.
One day, she must know the truth. She’ll get her memories back and then, she’ll realize it’s me that’s been causing all these troubles. If it weren’t for the sketchbook, I wouldn’t have tried to reach for it in Don Quixote. If I didn’t try to reach for it, Yuki wouldn’t have tried to save me. If she didn’t try to save me, she wouldn’t have lost her memories. And, there’ll never be Nirouni, Marimokkori, and now, Maritroll… What will happen if you learn the truth? Will you forgive me?
Mayu switched the lights off and got into the bed, hugging Yukirin tightly in her arms before dozing off herself.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Next morning….
Everyone is at the kitchen table, having breakfast. Yuki made some sweet curry and rice for the humans, while the dogs are enjoying the dogfood Mayu bought last night. Yuko is nibbling a few bites of curry here and there while she feeds Haruna with a spoon.
“I still don’t remember what happened yesterday after Mari-chan left…so you said I attacked all of you?” Haruna shrugs and looks at her arms and feet, still tied to the chair.
“Just to be on the safe side, we’ll have to keep you like this till we figure out what’s going on.” Mayu munched and suddenly halted, cringing and spitting out what appears to be a piece of egg shell that ended up in the curry.
Yuki glanced at the eggshell but there’s no guilt in her eyes. “Haruna, it’s for your safety too since you might just run off and get caught by those gangsters out there.”
“Ok…I guess…”
“So..” Mayu continues, “Do you have any idea why your profile in the tracking system indicate you as ‘Harunyan’?”
“I don’t know…I have no clue that such a system even exists!”
At this point, sounds came out of the TV set in the living room. Judging from the remote under Sae’s paw, with Sayaka beside her, the dogs are probably starving for some news.
“Guys! Come over here! Quick!” The puppy barks.
Mayu pulls the chair where Haruna’s sitting, and along with Yuki and the squirrel, they’re all staring at the chaos that’s unfolding in the screen. It was the warehouse that the dogs broke in the other night. Flames and fire burning, with sirens and screams on the background.
“Attacks at different warehouses belonging to Sato Enterprises all over the country started at around 5am this morning.” The reporter’s voice intercedes. “The police says that the motives or party behind these attacks are still unknown. No deaths have been reported, but the company is estimated to have lost $3 billion yen worth of goods in these destructive fires and explosion.”
“Sato Enterprise…that belongs to my uncle!” Haruna exclaims. “It must be Mari-chan! She’s finally worked her way through to destroy the prototypes!”
The scene is suddenly cut to another city, where a building appears to be crumbling into pieces by impact.
“We’re now live in Majisuka-ken, where the culprit of this attack is caught on camera…” The camera focuses on a grey-suited being with a large head at a distance. That being is knocking the building off with his/her head.
“Iwa?” Mayu looks at the screen in disgust.
“You know it?” Yuki turned to Mayu in surprise.
Shit…it’s Yuihan’s drawing of Uchida-san in her gray stone-costume at Halloween. Why, do my friends like to dress like freaks and get their portraits drawn by someone who clearly can’t draw??!!
“I mean, this person looks like a stone.”
“Well, yeah, look at the cracks on the building and the rubbles beside it….I think she might be girl…” Yuki gasps as the camera zooms in on Iwa’s head.
“Jesus…” Yuko and Sae finally recognize the ‘drawing’ of their friend.
The screen switches back to their own city, with the camera shaking and retreating from the warehouse.
“We’re now reporting from the warehouse, where lava seem to be flowing out of the building…” The reporter’s panicking face briefly appears on screen before both he and the cameraman scrambles away. The lens zoom in at the lava and another voice is heard, probably the cameraman’s.
“It’s not lava…it’s tomato sauce!”
The screen moves up towards the sky where we see a robot with vegetable limbs, shooting out tomato fruit juice. The screen is cut-off.
“Dr Sashihara?!!” Yuki gapes.
Everyone just kind of stares at the screen in silence. Sae switches the TV off.
“Detective…what’s your take on this?” Yuko looks up to Princess Mayu.
“I…”
Knocks came from the boarded up doorway.
“Protect Haruna.” Yuki gestures the princess while she creeps up the door and asks, “Who’s there?”
“Honmayan.”
“You again?” Yuki’s eyes rolled and unblocked the door.
“Everyone needs to leave now” The dull-faced ranger says. “I have brought Honamyan Blue to help us.”
“Can you tell me what’s going on?” Yuki still guards the door with death-glare eyes on the semi-strangers.
“We can explain later, but Mariko has tricked Honmayan Red into pressing ‘the button.’ She’s using this to destroy Sato’s assets, but she’s stolen THE Cyborg, and so we think she’s also coming after Haruna’s code. We must get you all to Dr. Umeda’s place safely.”
“Wait, zettai usoyawa..no one tricked me.” Honmayan looks at Komorin (Honmayan Blue) doubtfully.
“Just ignore her, she’s always like that.” Blue said to Yuki, who understandingly lets them both in.
“Are you taking me as a fool?” Honmayan kept complaining as she walks in.
“Honmayan Red! Honmayan Blue!” Haruna exclaims and to everyone’s surprise, she claws through the ropes and knots and set herself free, throwing her arms around the poker-faced red ranger.
“Wow, Sayaka, I didn’t know your master is that strong…” Sae quips.
“Neither do I…it’s not the usual her…” Sayaka stares at Kojipa warily.
“All right…I still don’t know how much of this I should believe in. Tell me more about the ‘button’ and the ‘cyborg’.” Yuki continues to interrogate. Her hunch tells her that this apartment is not a safe place anymore, and from what Mayu told her, that person called Mariko is a suspicious person. Mariko knowing about this place spells danger to her. But she really can’t bring herself to trust two girls dressed ridiculously in spandex and helmets too…
“The button is this.” Blue points at the now activated and blinking belt on Honmayan Red’s waist. “It’s used to awaken all the powers dormant in cyborgs or modified humans that Dr. Kojima had ever laid his hands on. The downside of this is that no one can really control what they’ll do, so it’s never to be used unless in the most extreme situations. That’s why he built the extremely distrustful Honmayan Red to guard this. But…I don’t know how Mariko somehow convinced her to press it! We’ve been suspicious about Mariko’s sudden appearance at our company for a while…but after she helped Haruna-sama escaped, we didn’t spare too much thought about her motives…but now, every robot has gone berserked except THE Cyborg, the most powerful robot Kojima has ever built. She’s just gone. And we have evidence that Mariko has stolen it. If she ever lays her hands on the key code in Haruna-sama’s hands, the Cyborg will be enhanced and she can take over the world!”
“I can’t believe that Mari-chan is a troll!” Haruna exclaims and starts wailing sadly. Yuko grits her teeth and said, “I will never forgive anyone who hurts my Nyannyan!”
“Mayu,” Yuki pulls her girlfriend aside and whispers. “Should we trust them? What if, they are also bad guys after Haruna’s codes?”
“We have to be careful. But our apartment is exposed to Mariko, whom we’re sure is a bad guy already. We must leave this place anyway. Let’s go pack.” Mayu’s face is clearly troubled after she heard what Blue said.
“Ok.”
The gang got ready to leave the apartment, but a strange smell of vegetable drinks preceded some loud blasts in their neighborhood.
“It’s Sashiko!” Honmayan exclaimed and runs out.
“Haruna-sama, leave with me first while Red is holding them back!” Blue leads them out of the apartment.
“They are here!”
Both sides of the road outside their apartment is blocked by Iwa and Sashiko. From the sky above, Mariko-sama descended and landed right outside the apartment block.
“Mari-chan! Please tell me this is all a big misunderstanding?” Kojiharu shouted from the corridor among the trapped gang.
“Why, my sweetheart, are you in such a hurry?” Mariko smiles gently. “Your uncle’s bases are all destroyed and he can’t go after you anymore. Come,” She opens her arms to welcome her, “come to me, baby. I’m not sadistic.”
Yuki and Mayu both stepped forward and shielded Haruna.
“I don’t know who you are, but don’t you think you can just barge in to my apartment and harass my guests as you want.”
“Yuki is right! You can’t be up for any good. Honmayan Blue has told us everything. You ARE after the key codes, right? What’s your agenda??”
“Agenda? Plan? I don’t have any!” Maritroll laughs out loudly. “I’m a troll, remember? I just want to see what if….what if the creator of everything faces the creator one day?”
Mayu’s face darkens.
“What the hell is she talking about…” Yuki mumbles to herself. “Please learn to speak properly before you talk!” The mechanic’s eyes flare up and she jumps off the balcony, aiming a kick straight at the troll.
“Hm,” Mariko flashes a grin and blocked the attack. Yuki deflected her kick and stumbled a few steps back.
Seems like she has gotten some of her fighting skills back despite losing her memories…Mayu thought to herself.
“Guys, get Haruna away now!” Mayu said before jumping off the balcony as well. Both girls are now facing Mariko in their fighting stance.
“Interesting…But I’m not here….” Mariko eyes both of them calmly, and her smirk widens. “…to fight!” Without looking up, she flew a boomerang looking knife upwards, aiming towards Haruna. At the same time, smaller knifes flew out from Mariko’s suit jacket, stopping Honmayan Blue and the dogs from reaching her.
Haruna hardly have time to dodge the rotating blades before she loses her balance and fell off the balcony, back facing the ground and hands reaching out to grab the railings or whatever she can!
“Ah~~~~~~~”
“Nyan~~~~~~” Without thinking, Yuko jumps off at the same time to reach for her.
And then, it happened. Within inches of crushing her bones on the ground, Haruna twisted her back reflexively, hands and feet all touching down on the ground gracefully within milliseconds. This is followed by the squirrel’s landing and bouncing off of the back of Haruna, which was even louder than the elegant set of movements that everyone just witnessed.
“Ouch!” Yuko looks up again and saw the surprised and happy face of her lover in a catwoman pose.
“O wow, I landed!” She flashes her tennen smile.
“Haruna-chan! You didn’t disappoint! Come to me baby…” Maritroll never once lost her cool and began to step forward.
“Mari-chan, I will not let you have my codes!” Haruna’s smile turned into a hiss.
Just when Mayu and Yuki decide to attack Mariko again, a rock threw in their way from the side.
“Your opponent is me!” Iwa blasted. “I will not let people sideline me again! I will be the center of attention from now on!!!!”
From the other side, Honmayan Red is trying her best to blast off asparagus missiles shooting at her from the Sasshi-bot, but she’s not large enough to ward her off, so they are now fighting closer into the road, getting near the rest of the gang. Honmayan Blue jumps off the balcony too to join her ranger.
It’s now:
Mayuyukirin VS Iwa.
Honmayan Red+Blue VS Sashiko-Veggie-Mecha.
Haruna+animals VS Maritroll.
————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Mayuyukirin VS Iwa…
“I will be the center of attention from now on!!!! I am a rock, but I have rock-rights too!!…”
Yukirin leaps on to the rock without letting her finish her rant. A heavy kick landed right at the middle of Iwa’s forehead, but it was Yuki who bounced off and clutched her foot in pain.
“Do you think you can just knock me off like that?” The rock then threw a chain of pellets out of her arm, all shooting like bullets at the mechanic, who darts off immediately back towards Mayu.
“Itai…” Yuki complains and eyes the triumphant rock angrily.
“Let me see if your other body parts are as hard as rock!” It’s Mayu’s turn to attack. She lunges forward and swept a low kick, causing Iwa to jump off ground. Mayu then reaches up and grabs her feet, pulling her down and landing her on her back.
Yuki has now reached Mayu’s side too and both of them used all their might to stomp on Iwa’s stomach.
“Jesus!!” Mayu shouted as they both retreated back in pain. “This girl is impenetrable!”
“Damn it, it’s not like she’s a freaking diamond! There must be a way to smash her!” Yukirin clenches her fist.
“You’re right, she doesn’t seem quick…” Mayu whispers.
“I have a plan…” Yuki said with smirk. “Follow me!” She runs and jumps behind Iwa, causing her to turn and counter Yuki’s attack. “Mayu, attack!” Mayu also rushes forward to throw a punch.
Except both of them purposely did it slowly, allowing Iwa to dodge so they don’t actually have to touch her.
“Don’t think I can’t fight you both at the same time!” Iwa’s hands suddenly turned into two giant hammers and she tries to throw crushing blows at the retreating girls, who are dodging easily and leading her off the road towards a house.
“It’s close…” Yuki winks at Mayu and whispers on her ear. “We’ll lead her to the pool.”
Mayu finally got Yuki’s plan but unfortunately, that airy whisper to her ear sent some electrifying currents down the princess’ skin at a rather wrong moment. Her attention lapsed, causing her to trip and fall on her back.
“Shit!”
Iwa’s aiming her hammer straight at Mayu’s stomach.
“This is for your stomp on mine just now!”
Fortunately, the blow is not exactly the quickest, allowing Yuki to pull Mayu back. The hammer landed straight between her hips, forming a huge dent on the concrete ground right below her crotch.
“Mayu, be careful! We still haven’t you-know yet!”
Mayu gulps and jumps up quickly.
“It’s your fault to begin with!” Mayu pouts at the mechanic, amazed at what she just heard.
“I can’t believe you’re thinking about that when I almost lost my life.” Mayu said in a semi-complaining tone, all the while continuing to lead Iwa into the house garden.
Throwing a quick ‘punch’ at Iwa’s face without evening looking, Yukirin glares at Mayu and said, “And who got all excited with my whisper first? We’re fighting, for heaven’s sake!”
“Hey, that’s a biological reaction! It’s…it’s just ticklish!”
“HAHAHA, don’t tell me you’d also squirm like a worm if it was Sashihara breathing on your ear!”
Mayuyu face-palmed at the thought of a scene like that, “Unsay that, Yukirin! Unsay that!”
“NA NA NA NA NA NA! SashiMayuyuyu!”
“Funny you brought that up! I thought you’re the one enjoying her feeling up your ass the other day!” (referring to the Sashiharassment Doctor’s Visit in Chapter 6)
“You. Did. Not.”
Yuki directed one of her punches at Mayu instead, and Mayu counters with a kick.
None of our fighters even give a dime about the opponent they’re supposed to be fighting.
While Iwa felt sweat and fatigue as she throw blows and blows at them.
They’re not even looking at me? Am I that insignificant?!! Even in MY only fighting scene, they’re taking the attention away from me!! [A/N: poor Uchi, but trust me, she’s the star of Bimyou, besides Yuihan]
“You TWO!!! That’s so mean!!! Stop arguing when you’re fighting with ME!!”
“Shut up!” Both girls say in unison. With a slick dodge, they slipped behind Iwa and gave her the final push. The rock fell straight into the pool and sinked right to the bottom.
Luckily, Iwa is a rock so she doesn’t need to breathe, so readers, don’t worry about her safety.
But because she’s a rock, she’ll never have a chance to swim up on her own.
“Come on, let’s go back.” The two turned to leave, with poor Iwa waving at their backs at the bottom of the pool.
——————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Honmayan Red/Blue VS Sashihara
“Girls! Girls! I am not weak anymore! I will crush everyone who’s in my path with healthy vegetable juice to get my lolis!!!”
“It’s healthy? These red slimy liquid? Zettai Uso!” The doubtful ranger fires her beams at the carrot juice.
“Yes of course! I’m a doctor! I know my food pyramid!”
Sasshi throws a broccoli grenade which explodes into a million little green specks, separating the blue ranger from her friend.
“I hate it when those broccoli crap sticks on my teeth after a meal!” Blue exclaims.
“You are a doctor? A robot is a doctor? Don’t take me for a fool!” Red jumps and tumbles a few times in the air, spreading her arms to land a kick on the Veggie-bot’s shoulder. Such a beautiful kick really has not much power to it.
“That’s barely a scratch, Honmayan!”
“You still haven’t answered me. I don’t believe that vegetables are healthy!”
Sashihara gave her an incredulous look. She’s never seen such a doubtful and stupid person in her life.
“It’s common knowledge!”
Seeing how our hetare robot is stressed by this conversation, Honmayan Blue took advantage and launches a High Spin attack.
“Honmayan High Spin!” The blue ranger transformed herself into a spinning top, advancing towards the scared robot.
“Honmayan Red! Quick, fight with me!!”
“Really, you are asking me to fight together with you?” Red is suspicious of Blue’s motives…..
Meanwhile, the spinning top has gathered momentum as Blue closes in on the veggie-bot. Sashihara closes her eyes in despair. She has no choice but to swing her brussels sprouts flail randomly at the high-speed juggernaut, but in a few moves, she’s squarely knocked the ranger down.
“I…defeated Blue?” Even Sashihara can’t believe in her own powers. She steps on the ranger’s back to prevent her from getting up.
“Honmayan Red,” Blue says, “Use Honmayan Thunderbolt!”
“What is this move? I won’t end up crying this silly line out loud, just to have nothing coming out of it!”
“Red, there is no time to doubt!”
“Really?”
“You need to learn how to trust! Honmayan Blue is your nakama!” Even Sasshi couldn’t stand this and interjected.
“Ok…Honmayan Thunderbolt!”
“Wait!” Sashihara was caught by surprise since she’s so sure that Honmayan would doubt for a long time before attacking.
The thunderbolt burns through her armor, causing it to over heat.
“It’s not fair!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Iyada!” The robot swings it’s cooked carrot arm and broke down. The vegetable soup started boiling in the equipment’s heat, and flooded the machinery.
“I…can’t….move….”
“Red!! You defeated the Veggie-bot!”
“I defeated the robot? No way! Honmayan?”
“Not again, Honmayan!”
———————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Haruna VS Maritroll
“You never loved me, have you?” Haruna questioned Mariko in a cold tone.
“Well, it doesn’t seem to matter that much to you after all…” Mariko quips.
“It’s true, but I hate being lied to…”
“Then you’ll be disappointed that your Papa lied to you too.”
“What do you mean?” Haruna’s face is now strained. Her father loved her and always protected her. There’s no reason for him to lie about anything. What’s she saying?
“Don’t pay attention to her! The troll is just trying to fool you!” Yuko shouts, forgetting that Haruna doesn’t understand a thing she says.
“What do I mean,” Mariko made a troll face. “That, you will have to find out…after I get your codes!”
She launches a rocket out of her sleeves and shot straight at them, which explodes into a veil of smoke.
Everyone is out of each other’s sight amidst the smoke. Sayaka started smelling for her master, but to her dismay, a puppy’s yelp for help at the other end distracted her. Mariko has already planned her attack and she decided to grab hold of Sae in order to distract Sayaka, leaving Nyannyan isolated with the useless(in her eyes) squirrel.
“*Cough* Nyannyan!!” Yuko scrambles out of the smoke to trace Haruna….Ah there she is! She saw some feet shuffling around in the middle. As she’s about to go for it, her tail was grabbed from behind.
The smoke has nearly cleared off with Sayaka leaping forward to Mariko, who already has both Sae and Yuko in her hands.
“Who are you going to save?” Mariko jumps back and smirk. “If you bite my left arm, I’ll squeeze the squirrel to death. If you chose the other side, your dear puppy will also have her neck crushed!”
“You!!”
“Let them go!” Haruna is in all fours now. Looking into Sayaka’s eyes and nodding to each other, both of them attack at the same time, Sayaka leaping towards the puppy, and Haruna for Yuko.
“Hahaha, I’m not really gonna kill them!” With little effort, Mariko flings both of her arms and threw her hostages into different directions.
The cat and the dog reacted instinctively and focussed on grabbing them, changing their targets from Mariko’s arms to the creatures in danger.
“The first mistake in combat is to ignore your opponent.” Mariko has already expected these moves, and she singled on what she’s come for at the very beginning: Harunyan. Grabbing and twisting Haruna’s arm, she crushed her whole body down and securely subdued her.
“Alright…let’s see…” Reaching down into Haruna’s jacket pockets, she found the drive that contains the code and removed it.
Yuko found her whole body hitting a tree before falling down, her head felt so dizzy that she couldn’t move as she watched the troll take the drive away. At the other side, Sayaka released Sae from her mouth after landing and turned back for her master, but it’s too late, the drive is already in Mariko’s hands.
The calm trollface steps back with her usual cool smile.
“I got what I need, and you got your uncle off your backs. So it’s fair deal after all, eh?”
Haruna looks up in contempt.
“You liar! What are you planning to use the code on? You can’t use it on THE Cyborg. You KNOW you can’t control it.”
“But I never planned to control anything. We trolls don’t work that way. Trust me, I never want to harm anyone — specifically. I just want to wreck the system, and see what happens.” Mariko shrugs and said as a matter-of-fact.
“Stop it, troll!” Mayuyu, who has just come back with Yukirin, is running towards Mariko.
But she simply swings herself up on a small aircraft, quickly ascending above their reach.
“I’m a troll, but I’ve been more honest than every one of you here. Haruna-chan, don’t say I ever lied to you again..I’m now doing you a favor.”
Bang!
Pulling out a gun, Mariko shot a bullet right into Haruna’s head.
“Nyannyan!” Yuko screams and dashes toward the lifeless body, with her eyes still wide opened in shock. Meanwhile, Mariko left as quickly as she came, disappearing into thin air.
“Sorry, Haruna-sama! It’s my fault that I couldn’t protect you!” Sayaka rushes forward to the body too.
Mayuyu just stood there in shock.
It can’t be. Because of me, someone died today…
Tears started flowing down her eyes uncontrollably. Her weaken legs gave in and she crouched down, covering her face with her hands and shaking her head. She felt Yukirin’s embrace from the back, but she could no longer face her.
“It’s all my fault…”
“Don’t say that, Mayu-chan. You tried…”
“No, you don’t understand.” Turning towards Yukirin, Mayu took a deep breath and decided to reveal the truth.
“I’m…”
But a loud noise from Haruna’s body distracted both of them. Steam and smoke started rising from her body, making some strange sounds and obscuring their vision.
Like a magic trick that unfolds before their eyes, the surrounding gang all gape in awe.
“Nyan!” A white furry cat purrs at them at where Haruna’s body is supposed to be.
“Nyannyan? Is that you?” Yuko’s eyes popped.
“Yuko?” The cat replied.

So this is it. A lot of explanation and fighting although Haruna's mystery is still not completely explained. I hope the plot is not too confusing. Please let me know if any explanations are needed!
Next chapter we will have more Kojiyuu and Mayuki's moments.
