At first, I thought my Poonya was out because I got constipation.

But then, the school send the mail to inform us that the main water pipe was broken, so we couldn't use any water.

Therefore, I realized it was my luck that I didn't need to poop for a while.

The school didn't leave us in this desert alone, they announced that if someone wanted to use the water more than two liters, you could go to get the water at the cafeteria.

So I wasn't troubled that much. The air-conditioner still did its work and I had enough drink to fight with this hot-as-hell weather, I would try not to drink too much though.

I decided to cook dinner without the water. I had learned to cook from the internet for a while. Although I wasn't as good as Horikita. At least, I could survive with a little ingredient. I was going to chop the pork when I heard my phone ringing.

It was from Horikita Suzune.

"Good evening, Horikita. " I answered.

"Good evening, Ayanokouji-Kun. " She stopped a bit. "What are you doing?"

"Cooking."

"Oh, I see."

Horikita became silent for a while. Then, she spoke out. "Today, my parents aren't at home---"

"Me too. Wait, we left in the dorm. None of our parents was at home."

I heard her sigh very loud.

"It's an indirect question! The meaning is 'Do you want to come to my place?' "

"I'm already in front of your room."

Horikita flinched. She opened the door and looked at me with unbelief.

I was in front of her room, dressing in a tuxedo, and sprayed the perfume. I choose the perfume that increases my pheromone.

Oh, I had something in my pocket too. Something for making some fun this night. (Blinked.)

Yes, you were right.

It was Exploding Kitten card game. I played with Ike once, it was very fun.

"What----" Horikita was shocked until she couldn't finish her line.

"I never expect there is a day that you call me to your room. Finally, I can beat your brother. This is your flower, lady. " I gave her a bunch of flowers. But then, I noticed something.

Her right hand was stuck in a small water bottle.

"Are you trying to cosplay Mega-Man? The cosplaying contest is finished--"

I thought my assumption was wrong when I saw Horikita's face.

"Oh, I see. You want to roleplay. Give me a minute, I will cosplay X. Or do you want me to be Dr. Light?"

"If you said another word, I will kill you with my best cooking knife. "

"Oh---"

I threw my bunch of roses away.

"So why did you call me to your place?"

"I want you to help me get this bottle out of my hand."

"Oh..." I nodded. "So you didn't call me for those kinds of stuff?"

"No way! Is this the reason that you come this fast?"

I nodded slowly.

"Grossed."

"I'm corrupted by this society. "

I used to be a precious pure boy. Before I ran away from the White Room and experienced this dirty world.

"However, come in and help me deal with this bottle," Horikita commanded me.

"Can I go and finish my dinner first?"

Horikita ignored my request and used her left hand to drag me into her room.

This was the first time I came into the girl's room. Horikita was almost as empty as the day she came to this school. She seemed to be like me in this context.

"Ok. Before we do anything. Please tell me that why your hand is in that bottle. Did you try to play something?"

Horikita breathed.

"I was washing my bottle. I want to clean inside so I put my hand into it, of course, I can't get out."

"Did you try using the water?" I asked.

"It's the first thing flashing in my mind. But the water was stopped and the school send mail to me that the main pipe was broken."

"I see. " I thought for a while. "So you want me to pull it out?"

Horikita nodded. I shrugged my shoulder and grabbed her bottle then pulled it as hard as I can. But It didn't work. Horikita was pulled with the bottle.

"Ok. Spread your leg--Wait, wait!"

I stopped Horikita before she hit me with the metal bottle.

"I didn't mean that. I mean spreading your leg, so you can stand stable."

"Oh. "

Horikita did what I told her.

I tried for the second time. But no matter how hard I pulled it. The bottle still stuck on Horikita's hand. The only thing we got was her painful face.

"Ok. I give up. We need to cut it out. Do you have a saw?"

Horikita frowned. "I have a saw but---Don't cut it. This bottle is very expensive. My dad bought it from Germany."

I nodded. "I know. I won't cut it. I will cut something cheaper---"

I looked at Horikita's wrist.

...

After Horikita refused to cut her hair. Although I convinced her that if she couldn't use her right hand, she would get a problem with washing her long hair.

"Then, we should try another thing. " I came with another idea.

"Please don't say anything idiot again."

"I will grab your bottle, then, I will kick your belly as hard as I can---"

"I say not an idiot."

"Come one. You won't let me be satisfied a little bit. " Oops, I thought it too loud.

I sat down and thought again.

"The best way is using water to lubricate," I said.

"But I don't have any water."

"Me too. "

I didn't expect to face this situation so I didn't keep any water.

"We can ask it from someone."

Horikita shook her head. "No."

"Why not?"

"If it was an old version of me, I would say I don't want to owe anyone. " Horikita replied. "But the thing is--isn't it so embarrassing?"

She raised her eyes and looked at me like a cute puppy.

Ah!! Why did she never act like this before!? She would be so cute!

But whenever I started feeling she was cute, her compass always flashed in my mind.

"And I don't know if those boys put something in the water."

Phew, I almost fell, just almost.

"Oh. I know. We can ask for the water at the cafeteria. I will get it to you then."

I stood up and was about to walk out of the room when I heard the raining sound outside.

It was raining.

"It was raining, Horikita. " I told her.

"Yes. I know. Maybe it's conventional rain. But it's not a reason for stopping you from running through the rain to get my water."

"Sometimes. You are a dump. Horikita. You can use the rain for lubricating."

Horikita opened her eyes wide. "You're right!"

She stood up and ran to the window. Unfortunately, the roof of the student's dorm was so wide, until there was no rain split into our room. It allowed us to open our room while raining. But it was useless for some situations like this.

I thought we had the only way.

"Let's go outside. " I told Horikita.

"But I don't want everyone to see me in this form!" Horikita protested.

"Don't worry. This is 8 p.m. on a rainy day. Everyone is too lazy to come out."

I was sure of my luck. It was high enough to protect Horikita from embarrassment.

When she saw my confidence, although doubting, Horikita gave us and came out of her room with me.

I looked around and sighed in relief when saw no one in the hallway.

"Now, let's go to the elevator."

"No. Use the stair."

Horikita was carefully. I agreed with her. Most of the students used the elevator instead of the stair.

But when we walked to the stair, someone was waiting for us.

She was Shinohara.

Horikita hid her hand immediately and tried to act calm as she could.

"Good evening, Shinohara-San."

"Good evening, Horikita-San. " Shinohara sounded colder and scarier than I remembered. "Do you want to use this stair?"

"Y--Yes." Even Horikita could find something wrong with her.

Then, the 8-bit song came from nowhere.

"If you want to use it, you have to beat me--the Hygieneman first!" Shinohara yelled and took the toilet brush out of her pocket.

And then, there were two bars over our heads.

"What the---" Horikita exclaimed.

"Horikita. " I warned her. But the blue ball that Shinohara released from her toiler brush reached her.

"Ouch!" Horikita screamed and bounced off.

The left bar was reduced. It seemed to be Horikita's life points.

"Urgh! I feel---clean!" Horikita said while looking at her arm, the metal bottle was sparkling as there was no dust on it.

"This is my power, cleaning a thing! This's why they call me Hygieneman!!" Shinohara grinned and shoot the light balls at Horikita.

Horikita gritted her teeth and jumped out of those lights.

"Stop! Shinohara-San!" She shouted and shooter the red ball from her bottle hand.

"Are you Megaman or something?" I said while hiding behind the corner.

There were many Horikita's balls hitting Shinohara. But it reduced less Shinohara's life bar compared to Shinohara's attack.

Horikita seemed to be in a trouble. She needed to use all of her power to dodge Shinohara's attack. She had no chance to attack back.

I needed to help her, but I didn't have any power---

Wait. If this was Megaman---

"Horikita. Read the attack formation." I shouted.

"What?"

"The attack formation. The boss will attack continuously in the same way. If you can read the formation, you will know when to dodge!"

Kaxxxa taught me. He was a big gamer.

"Wagatta!" Horikita nodded. She tried to read the formation while dodging Shinohara's attack. However, Horikita was a brilliant girl. Finally, she could read it.

The situation began to change. Shinohara's attack couldn't hurt Horikita a bit. On other hand, Every Horikita's ball hit Shinohara.

Therefore, although it was slow, Shinohara's life bar started reducing.

In the end, Horikita shooter the fireball for the last time, and Shinohara's bar was outed.

"Argh!!!" Shinohara screamed and her body exploded to the light balls. One of them flew to Horikita's body.

She looked at the dirt on the floor and shoot the blue fireball like Shinohara's one to them, the dirt was cleaned.

Horikita got Shinohara's cleaning power.

This was the fucking Megaman.

"What the fuck. " I exclaimed calmly.

"Come on, Ayanokouji-Kun. We need to go outside of the building before the rain stopped."

Horikita who seemed to feel nothing about her classmate's explosion dragged me into the stair.

But we were stopped again by Ryuen Kakeru who grinned like a villain on the way to the 2nd floor.

"Kuku. If you want to pass this stair, you have to beat me--The Dragonman first! Kuku. " He announced.

"Dragonman--is he gonna spit fire from his mouth?" I mumbled.

But then, Ryuen turned himself into the real dragon.

"What!!" Horikita screamed.

"Read the attack formation. " I told her.

Horikita rolled herself for dodging Ryuen's flame. The dragon didn't just use its fire, it also came closer to bite Horikita with its fangs.

"Eat this!" Horikita cried out and shoot the cleaning ball at Ryuen's eyes. The dragon screamed and cast his tail with anger.

This time, Horikita seemed to be familiar with the fight. She could read the formation faster than in the last battle.

Horikita rolled for the last time, before shooting the last shot to kill the dragon. Ryuen screamed with pain before exploding to the light.

Same as Shinohara, the light came into Horikita's body. allowing her to spit the fire.

"Let's go, Ayanokouji-Kun!" Horikita shouted and ran down to the first floor.

Of course, there was another boss.

He was in a basketball suit.

Sudo Ken turned around to face us.

"Sudo-Kun?" Horikita raised her eyebrows.

"If you want to pass this way, you need to beat me---Basketballman first. " He said.

"Sudo. This is Horikita. You won't hurt her, will you?" I tried to use a peaceful way.

Sudo shook his head. "Although it was God, he needs to beat me first."

Without any sign, Sudo threw the ball at us. Horikita and I jumped out of its way. The ball hit the stair, left the hole like it was hit by the meteor.

Horikita looked at Sudo with confusion.

"I don't understand. Sudo-Kun always obeys me. He won't fight against me!"

"He isn't Sudo. " I mumbled.

"What do you mean?"

"Shinohara, Ryuen, and Sudo. They all acted strange today. Shinohara is too coward to fight someone physically. Sudo won't attack you. And Ryuen can't transform into a dragon. " I swapped my sweat. "It wasn't them, just something that use their appearance."

Horikita was still confused.

"B--But why did they do that!?"

"Test, Horikita, test. " I replied. "The hero needs to be tested before he gets what he wants. Like Lord Buddha was seduced by the daughter of evil or Satan tried to tempt Jesus. In our case, it was fighting with our acquaintance before we can use the rain."

"Are you serious!?"

"Everything makes sense."

"Nothing makes sense at all."

Horikita screamed before coming closer to Sudo. When he threw her a ball, she spotted the fire to burn it.

When she approached Sudo, Horikita pointed her bottle at his face.

"This is for using my favorite chair's appearance!!!!"

She shot a ton of fireballs out of her arm, burning Sudo until he exploded into the ball.

Horikita's body shine. She had already got the power of a Basketballman.

"Let's go, Ayanokouji-Kun. " Horikita whispered and walked down to the first floor.

We saw the door before us. The outside was still raining. Horikita smiled happily and ran to the door.

Then, we saw someone at the door.

She was a little girl with purple hair, a cane was in her hand. I didn't see her before.

The girl saw us and smiled smugly.

"Fufu. Finally, we meet each other. Ayanokouji----"

"Attack her!" I told Horikita.

"Eat this! Loliman!!!" Horikita threw the basketball to that girl. The ball hit her face, knocking her until she collapsed on the floor.

She didn't do anything. I thought she was unconscious.

"Did I win?" Horikita whispered.

We walked closer to the girl's body. Her nose was bleeding but she didn't explode to the light like Shinohara, Ryuen, or Sudo.

"Are you sure she is a boss?" I asked.

"I don't know--" Horikita pursed her lips. "I will take her cane."

After we hid her body, I and Horikita came outside of the building. Horikita let the raindrop fall on her hand, and finally, pull the bottle out.

"Yes! We did it!" Horikita smiled happily. I never saw her smile like that before.

"Ok. Let's go back inside before we got a fever---"

"Thank you, Mario. But our princess is in another castle---wait!"

We heard someone talking behind us. When we turned around, we saw Doc and Yukimura in the mushroom costume standing there.

"Why don't you dress like a plumber?" Yukimura asked Horikita.

"Why do I suppose to dress like a plumber?"

Doc took some electric equipment out of his pocket. "Oh, Yukimura-Dono! It's my fault. I put Megaman into the BGM instead of Super Mario!"

"BGM?"

"Yes. GMB. Brainwave Game Maker. This is the innovation that I and Doc are inventing. It will release the electromagnetic wave into our target's brain. His brainwave will make him experience the game with his imagination. He will see the enemy and see himself have the ability to fight with them. Of course, in the real world. " Yukimura explained. Doc nodded.

"It's like AR without any phone or device, sir. All you need is your brain. It will produce the hallucination very realistically. Because your brain will automatically accept it as a part of reality. But it's not complete yet, sir. There is a limit. If you don't know the game well enough you won't have a strong concept about the gameplay and enemy. So you will use your acquaintance's appearance to make the enemy's hallucination instead of its real form."

I and Horikita looked at each other. So it wasn't a test from heaven.

"Basically, it is LSD, isn't it?" Horikita said.

Doc and Yukimura grinned.

"Girl. " Yukimura said. "Where on earth do you think we get the inspiration from?"

...

After the hard as hell convincing Horikita that Yukimura was just joking. They never used LSD or any hallucinogen before. Horikita gave up on calling the police. We said goodbye to Doc and Yukimura.

When I came back to my room. I started to wonder if our hands can really stuck in the water bottle.

So when I took my water bottle out of its box, I put my hand in it.

"Oh. Tighter than I thought. " I mumbled. "Rocket Punch!"

I punched the air in front of me. The water bottle flew out of my hand and bump into the forehead of the man who climbed into my room by the window. He screamed and fell from the window.

Wait!! Where the hell did that man come from!?

It turned out that he was a serial killer who escaped from prison. He always climbed into his victims' windows and killed them before running away. Luckily, after jailbreaking, he didn't kill anyone yet. After I beat him with the water bottle. The polices came to catch him.

The school was very impressed by my action. They gave me one million personal points as an award.

Author's note: I don't know what I take while writing this chapter. It might be bad but it's fun as hell to write.
