Hakoniwa Hospital.

Xander's POV*

This is our 5th day on this hospital, we still played with Medaka since she is amazed by our tenacity. She began thinking that maybe she is not really a special person, and there are others just like hers. Though our action might have stimulated the researchers as they tried their best to trick us into entering their lab. This is the first for them, someone keeping up with the princess in strength and intelligence. Though we would always escape and destroy their attempts, incase we don't have the chance to escape anymore we would use Medaka since her words can make them back down.

I regretted not being able to see Kumagawa since he already left the hospital after Hitoyoshi-sensei diagnosed him as normal. Even though I wanted to witness Kumagawa threatening Hitoyoshi-sensei.. too bad. Zenkichi was also trying to keep up with us leading with him being bed ridden for exhaustion. Medaka cried a lot that time, she thought that she would have gain a new friend that could handle her tenacity but it seems she was too optimistic about it. Right now, we are currently eating food that is too much for a normal child.. no, even for a normal adult.

"Still, I never got used to seeing banquet like this being served every day" I commented while looking at Mashiro who is currently munching a baumkuchen, there was a bunch of it infront of her. "Want some?" She asked tilting her head. This gesture of her is quite cute if I may say so. "Nah, I got a whole bunch of it here" I said looking at the mountain of foods infront of me. Normally, we wouldn't be able to get a privelige like this but it was all because of this one child currently eating with her cheeks full of food. "What's wrong, Xander? I won't give you my portion you know?" She said trying to protect her own dishes.

"Sigh, for the second time. I have mine, I don't need yours" Sighing, I replied to her who just raised an eyebrow. "Zenkichi, is that enough for you?" Medaka asked looking at Zenkichi who is having a hard time eating. He is probably the most normal in this place, he doesn't have any notable features that could make him on par with us, but that is what makes him special. He could still stay sane while being in our strong presence. "Yes!" Zenkichi just answered like a normal child. "What do you want to do after this, Kurokami-san?" I asked as she thought for a moment before something emerged from her brain.

"Xander, let's fight!" She said with a innocent smile on her face. I just deadpanned at her, "Can you even fight? You're still a child right?" I asked as she immediately shook her head, "I trained a lot! And why are you calling me a child? You are too right?" She shouted while I just raised my eyebrow, fighting against a child is not really in my list, but this girl is a monster. I also need to teach her about human emotions so that she won't get out of place and become a monster who could only imitate others. "I see, then after this meal. And about your question, my mind is more refined than yours you see" I smirked at her who got challenged by that.

"Then, let's start in eating competition!" She said before her mouth devoured the food, I didn't comply with her words as I just keep eating in my own pace. Medaka finished her mountain of food as she looked at me with a wide grin, "I wi- why did you not eat fastly?" She asked seemed confused to why I didn't follow her lead. "Nah, that's too troublesome. I prefer eating slowly and savor the food than just bulldoze it" I said while cleaning the crumbs of Mashiro's mouth. "What are you going to do today, Mashiro? Painting?" I asked looking at her who stopped eating. "Drawing.." she said.

Oh, I thought she would stop drawing manga after she broke the wall but it seems like she is still not satisfied. Well, I can just let her be, Mashiro is not one that would do a lot of trouble anyway. "Finish it already, Xander! And Zenkichi you will watch our fight!" Medaka said while pointing at us, I ignored her and just savored the food. Medaka is a princess so heavenly food like this is normal. Only after 30 minutes that I finished my meal, Medaka was already aggreviated by how slow I was. After seeing that I finished, she pulled my hand along with Zenkichi as she brought us somewhere.

"We are here! This is my playground!" Medaka exclaimed while showing us the large area, "You call this playground? Isn't this an soccer area?" I said while deadpanning at her. "Yes! My father made this thing for me!" She said as I just gave up, I looked at my side and tilted my head when Mashiro was gone. I looked around and saw her taking a ball before kicking it, the force of her foot was so small that it didn't even move far away from the place. I couldn't help but chuckle to Mashiro exploring new things that she never experienced before.

"Mashiro, you should arrange your feet like this so that you could hit it with your maximum strength" I began teaching her how to kick the ball, she tried and tried until she finally got it, but the result of it was her panting on the ground trying to catch her breathe. "Xander.. this is hard" Mashiro complained as I just patted her head. Seeing our interaction, Medaka also imitated me and began teaching Zenkichi. Good, I hope she would forget about the challenge with this. I looked at Mashiro who is already fixed, she just imagines returning to her previous state which immediately took effect and healed her body. "Mashiro we are going to strengthen your body! Imagine your body having the strength to do those weight lifting guys you saw from our former world. Don't just imagine your body having large muscles" I began instructing her.

Mashiro also listened as she started doing what I just told her. "Power.. I see" she muttered before I felt a change on her body, her muscles and tissues are changing, conforming into something what she imagined. I sighed in relief when I saw that she didn't became bulky. "That was fast. Now try kicking the ball again in the same posture I taught you earlier" I said while Mashiro just nodded her head. She assume a kicking stance before plunging her foot at the ball which flew at a fast speed. Ohh! That was great! Even Medaka was in awe by the power placed on that kick as she stopped teaching Zenkichi, "What was that?! It's so strong!" Medaka shouted, she was amazed by that kick, as even though it was not perfect, it still flew far away.

"Good job, Mashiro" I smiled at her before patting her head. She closed her eyes and enjoyed the bliss, she is really cute. "Hey, don't ignore me!" Medaka separated the two of us. "What's the deal? Mashiro is my girlfriend so its just okay for me to get close to her right?" I said complaining to Medaka. "What? She is your girlfriend? How is that possible, you are only two years old" Medaka was baffled by my words, "Well, age don't matters to us" I said. "Is that why, you didn't accept my marriage proposal?" She asked, "Well, a part of it. And why should I accept a proposal that was given seconds only after meeting? There is no feelings in your proposal either. Zenkichi would probably accept if you ask him" I explained as Medaka just nodded her head.

"I see.. then feelings matters the most right? How do I know my feelings anyway?" Medaka asked, "No, I won't be the one who will teach you that. You will meet a lot of people in the future that will teach you the real process of being a human. Not just a monster that tries to fit in the society by imitating people" I shook my head at her words. She seemed confused but she shrugged what I said, "Ah! The fight! I almost forgot about it! Don't try to change the topic, Xander!" Medaka exclaimed when she remembered that she and I still have a fight. "..well, I thought I could escape by doing that.." I muttered before going to the center of the field.

Medaka gave me a huge smile before dashing at my way, it was exactly how Koneko before I trained her so I just side step before placing my feet at her way. Medaka stumbled upon hitting my feet, she rolled many times before stopping. The place turned silent. Many researchers who were watching the match couldn't comprehend what just happened, their princess fell. Medaka stood up before dashing at me again, trying to punch me in the gut only for me to redirect the flow of her attack making it hit her own face. Medaka stopped before touching her nose, she felt a blood dripping on it as she was shocked.

In terms of skill, Medaka could be called the best as she can learn anything and improvise it, so every master that taught her already approved of her since she surpassed them in terms of skills. But now, there is a child that could play with her skill without even trying hard, this is probably an unique experience for her. "Is that all, Kurokami-san? After all that confidence earlier.. I am quite disappointed" I provoked her as she immediately stood up. "Of course not! I'll beat you Xander!" She shouted. She began launching various of techniques at my way, almost all of them are perfects.

The only disadvantage she had is her strength as a 2 year old child, her body still couldn't sustain that much of an strength. I deflected her every attack while hitting some parts of her body. She was getting annoyed for not being able to hit me so she abandoned technique for brute force. "Sigh, doing something like that is not really the most good move at this point" I said before grabbing her hand and pinning her to the ground. "It's my win, Kurokami-san" I said as she gritted her teeth, "No! This is still not finish!" She struggled to get out of my lock but it was useless as my strength surpassed her by million times.

Not long after I pinned her down, various researchers appeared on the field. They were looking at our interaction with interest in their eyes, "This is unheard of! Princess lost to someone in terms of strength and technique!", "Let's list this phenomenon, that young man might be another monster like her!", "Then we need to keep an eye on him, but.. won't this contradict to what the Director wanted?", "Right.. he wanted the Princess to be isolated so that he will accept all of his feelings for her" they kept talking even though we can literally hear them from here. I released Medaka from the pin as she just sat down with a smile on her face.

I went to Mashiro who smiled at my win, "Nice move, Xander.." she said while hugging her plushie. I smiled at her before taking a baumkuchen from somewhere and giving it to her. "Xander-kun, are you okay?" Hitoyoshi-sensei asked while checking my body for injuries, she might have thought that I was just putting a facade and hiding my true state. "No problem, Hitoyoshi-sensei. Kurokami-san is quite formidable for a child" I commented as she sighed in experation. I know that I might have caused a huge commotion by being stronger than Medaka as she is literally the protagonist of this world, but I don't care. I had enough hiding, surely showing myself is not that hard right?

"Xander, can I also do something like that?" Mashiro asked while looking at me with curious eyes, "Yup, just imagine yourself having reflexed like mine, that would solve the problem" I instructed her as she loosened her seal and began imagining herself in my position during the fight, she imagined that she would have the same reflexes as I have. The effect immediately took in as I gave a light punch towards her who just stepped back. "Wow.. this is nice" Mashiro muttered before going towards Medaka. "Fight me.. Kurokami" she said making Medaka smile widely. "Then, I won't hold back!" Medaka said before charging in.

Not even a second later and Mashiro was on the floor with Medaka infront of her panting. Well, it was to be expected. Mashiro has an strength of a body builder and reflexes like god, there is no way a child could beat her. "How did you do that.." Medaka asked between her breathes. "Yeah! Yeah! How did you do that?" Zenkichi also asked with stars on his eyes. He seemed to treat this as an cool show, can't blame him, he is still a child in this time anyway. "I.. imitated Xander" Mashiro simply said before going back to my side. "Xander! Teach me how to do that!" Zenkichi said while looking at me hopefully. "No, your body is still not mature enough to handle too much stress, maybe when you grow up" I said smiling at him.

"Guu.. Okay" Zenkichi could only grumble while accepting it, even though he really wanted to learn, but since they said its bad for his health then he won't push it. "Ah.. all that moving made me hungry, let's eat Kurokami-san" I said as she nodded her head, "Yeah, I am also quite famished. Hey you, bring us some foods! Make sure its delicious" Medaka said while pointing at one of the researchers. The researchers backed down as they returned to their respective offices while the one pointed by Medaka went to the kitchen. This is how we always spend our time here in Hakoniwa Hospital.
