Hakoniwa Hospital.

Hitoyoshi Hitomi POV*

What's happening for the past 2 weeks has been a surprise to all of us researchers. We didn't expect to meet another batch of monster beside Kurokami Medaka. Their learning skill is on par with hers while the boy's wisdom is visibly much higher than the two girls. "Hmm, I wonder if Zenkichi-chan could stay sane staying with them.. I am getting worried here" I muttered gaining the attention of other doctors, "We understand your feelings, Hitomi-sensei. Placing that boy among them would lead to his inevitable demise, they are just monsters" One researcher said as I couldn't help but agree with him.

My son is only a normal person without any particular abilities or so. At first, I wanted to take my son from those three but it seems like Xander could see my worry as he started lowering the level of them to make my son enter in their party. He is practically taking my son as a hostage, I can take Zenkichi-chan there forcefully but I doubt that would end just like that. "That child is really terrifying.. he can read adults as if they are open books and has a strength that made Medaka-chan look like a child.. well she is a child" I said as the others immediately nodded their heads, they share the same sentinent towards Xander.

Xander's aura might not be chaotic, but I felt like it was more dangerous than Kumagawa-kun had. "Hitomi-sensei, should we separate them already? I am getting worry about Director Tsurubami's silence about this matter" one doctor said making me sigh. Indeed, there is still that obsessed guy, why is he still not saying anything even after his beloved Medaka-chan is being lead by others. "No.. let them continue, this is for the good of Medaka-chan, she need to become a human" I said shaking my head at their suggestion. I will just wait for that perverted old man to make a move before doing something.

Xander POV*

Mashiro and I are currently sleeping in a single room when it was suddenly opened by Medaka pulling Zenkichi along. "Xander, Mashiro! Time to wake up! It's breakfast time!" Medaka shouted before she began pulling the sheets that is covering us woking Mashiro in the process. "Stop.. we are still sleepy, let's do it later" I complained while yawning, "Xander.. its too loud" Mashiro also took the ride as she complained. "No, today we are going to do something!" Ah, I already had a bad feeling about this.

"Today, we will sneak towards the other facilities of this hospital! I never visited them before as they always kept me in check" Medaka said clearly proud by her suggestion as she even raised her chest. "Then what makes you think they will let you go?" I asked looking at her with weird eyes, "Xander, water" Mashiro asked so I gave her a cup of water that I took out of nowhere. Medaka shook her head at my question, "This particular day is special as they would always have a meeting with Father in this time" Medaka said gaining my attention, this father doesn't mean Kajiki right? "Hm? Medaka, you have a father?" Mashiro asked.

"Huh? Of course I have, there is two of them!" Medaka seemed to be happy with the thought of having two fathers. "Haah, give us some time to change from our pajamas, get out" I said while gesturing to the door making Medaka confuse. "Why do I need to get out? Just change already" Medaka said. Damn, this exhibisionist is imparting her knowledge to us huh, I look at Mashiro who already began changing, "Hey! Mashiro, stop, stop!" I stopped her before throwing Zenkichi and Medaka out of the room. "Medaka-chan, why are we kicked out?" I can still hear Zenkichi asking with innocent voice.

Only after a few seconds that we went out of the room, "Where are we going today?" Mashiro asked strangely excited. "I heard that there are other abnormals in this hospital, I wanted to meet them!" Medaka shouted, Now, now this is rather amusing. I wonder who will be unfortunate to encounter us today. "Then let's go already. We don't know when those doctors would come back so we should hurry" I said to them before Medaka began leading us to this huge hospital. We saw some facilities and each of them has an abnormal name pinned on them.

We were just walking when someone suddenly appeared infront of our view, "Huh? Why are there kids here..? Princess?! What are you doing here?!" The man was surprised as he began chasing Medaka who had no choice but to run leaving us 3. "Xander, do you know this place?" Zenkichi asked while looking around, this place is not good for childs since the eerie atmosphere here is making him uncomfortable. "Don't worry, we will eventually find the exit. Or Medaka will just fetch us later, for now let's just look for something interesting here" I said before walking again.

We arrived at a room that has an air full of troubles. "Hey.. are you sure we should enter this place?" Zenkichi asked worried about the bad feeling he was getting from this room. "Don't worry, look. Even Mashiro is doing fine" I said assuring him while slowly raising his immunity to aura like this, it would be nice if he could stomach Kumagawa's presence in the future. We knocked on the door a three times before opening it. What appeared on our view was another young child with pink hair being tied by a ribbon. "Hm?" She seemed surprise that someone has come to visit her.

"Whaat.. another friend is here?" Zenkichi said before trying to get close to the girl. He was about to touch her when I took him by the nape, "Stop, Zenkichi" I said as the girl seemed down by my words. "Why, Xander? She looked so lonely.." Zenkichi asked while tilting his head, he can see that the girl has longingness for comfort. "Mashiro, can you make this room negate any superpowers here except for ours?" I said some words that confused the two childs infront of us. "Hm" Mashiro nodded her head before doing exactly what I said. I released Zenkichi from my grip, "You can play with her now" I said as Zenkichi smiled greatly.

"Hey! What's your name?" Zenkichi asked looking at the girl who just backed down. "D-Don't get close.. you'll die" the young girl said before Zenkichi got even more closer and touched her hand. The girl widened her eyes in horror thinking that someone would rot today because of her powers. "Don't worry! We can be friends!" Zenkichi said smiling greatly at the girl who seemed to be mesmerized by it. The girl's face turned red, "Is this love? He touched my hands without rotting, his love for me must be that great right? He couldn't hold himself and tried to touch me, he must want to become my husband right? His overwhelming love is drowning me, I can't help but fall inlove with him" the girl kept muttering some words that gave me goosebumps as Luminous was like this before.

"C-Calm down.. I am Hitoyoshi Zenkichi, what is your name?" Zenkichi asked trying to calm the girl by holding her shoulder, his action seemed like it did the opposite instead. "Zenkichi-kun.. how many childrens do you want? I want to have 3 childrens, 2 girls and 1 boy. You can name them because I don't have a good naming sense. Ehehe, who do you think they would look like? They will be our children so they will definitely cute, right? Then we will live in a white house with a garden and keep a big doggy. At least let me decide the name of the doggy Zenkichi-kun. Do you like cats or dogs, I like dogs but if you insist then we can keep a cat instead. I love dogs but if its an animal then I'll love it, regardless. But after all I love Zenkichi-kun the best. I hope Zenkichi-kun would love me too" Hooh, this is worse than Luminous.

"Y-Yes..?" Zenkichi could only say as the girl was shocked by his words. Tears began swelling on her eyes as she started crying, she didn't expect that someone would accept someone like her. "Calm down woman, what is your name" I asked making the girl look at me with surprise. Oi, oi, did she not notice our presence when the two of them started talking. "I-I'm sorry! My name is Emukae Mukae! I am Zenkichi-kun's girlfriend!" Woah, she is fast. She claimed Zenkichi as her own immediately. "Hm? Girlfriend? What is that?" Zenkichi asked making Emukae surprise but calm downed when she remembered that he is only 2.

"It means that you are important to me.." Emukae said as Zenkichi just accepted it. "Well, if you say so" Well, childrens are really guillible. Still her aura as a minus is slowly dissipating, I wonder if she would become a plus in the future? I felt my clothes getting tugged, I looked at Mashiro who stared at me, "I want to play.. Xander" I just nodded my head at her before turning to Zenkichi and Emukae who entered their own world. "Hey, wanna play?" I asked as they looked at each other before nodding their heads. "Yes!" Mashiro immediately conjured some toys for them as the 3 of them just played while waiting for Medaka.

Not long after playing, the room of the room was opened by a panting Medaka. Did she lost that one doctor? "Guys! Let's run! Many of them are chasing us already!" Medaka said before pulling us and began running, I looked back and saw a bunch of doctors chasing us. There are even bulky people, probably to supress us. "Guys, you can go first, I'll hold them" I said as Medaka thought for a second before nodding her head. "Xander.." Mashiro looked at me with worried eyes but I just patted her head. "I'll be fine, they are just normal people" I said assuring her that nothing would happen.

They started running again as I turned and plunged my foot at one of the bodyguard's gut sending him flying. Everyone stopped when they saw that as they looked at me with disbelief on their eyes. "Supress him! We need to stop them from wrecking havoc in this place!" One doctors said as 20 bodyguards surrounded me, one of them tried to use a technique to lock me but I just outmaneuvered him and kicked his legs breaking his bones in the process. "Gah!" He shouted as the others also began trying to supress me, I dodged their attempt with ease and left them with broken bones.

The leader of those bodyguards went infront of me, before raising his hand, he intended to slap me but I just catched his large hand before raising his whole body. I slammed it in the ground cracking it as the man grunted in pain. "Sorry, but this not enough to restrain me.." I said before walking away leaving the dumbfounded doctors who could only watch me leave.

I arrived at their side as they were suprised when I was already done. "Did you trick them?" Medaka asked, "..Somehow" I said vaguely as Mashiro just went to my side. "Xander.. I am tired" she said making me stop from running. I look ahead of us and just stared at the man standing in the shadow with bored eyes. "Who are you, old man?" I asked before Medaka smiled greatly and shouted, "Father!" She ran to the man's side and hugged him. The man accepted the embrace with a gentle smile on his face, "Medaka-chan, you shouldn't run in the hallway. Let's return okay?" He said before turning his attention to me. "Hello, Xander-kun, Mashiro-kun" he said gently.

Mashiro hid behind me because she was creeped out by the man, "Stop that, you old man. State your name" I demanded while narrowing my eyes at him. "Xander-kun is rather feisty eh? Fine, I am Tsurubami Fukurou. The director of this Hakoniwa hospital" he introduced himself still smiling, he seemed to be ignorant of my threat. "Then, Tsurubami-sensei, get out of our way" I ordered him as he just shrugged it off. "I know about your capabilities, Xander-kun. And I can confidently say that you will lose to me" He said before trying to use 'Styles' only for me to pressure him until he had no choice but to kneel.

His eyes contained surprise as he looked at me. "We will return now, please get out of the way" I said smiling gently at him who nodded his head, he never understood why I was angry because that man never experienced 'Anger'. He is impotent to the emotion anger so it was a vague feeling for him. Even though he never experienced anger, fear is still an primal emotion for him. Right now he is currently feeling an fear that couldn't be explain by words, I want him to experience it so that he won't do anything stupid in the future. "Thank you, we are hungry, please get some nurse to give us some meals" I said patting his head who could only nod his head while shaking.

Medaka seemed to be surprise by my actions as she tilted her head. "Why did you do that Xander?" She asked innocently, well I couldn't blame her as she is just a pawn in this shitty game of his. "I just taught that man a lesson, he need to fix himself before I come back to him" I just said some words that might be confusing to her but she would eventually understand it in the future. "Hm? Have they been doing that since getting out of that room?" I asked Mashiro while looking at Zenkichi and Emukae who are holding hands. "Yes, they are quite close to each other" Mashiro nodded her head.

This little guy is more gutsy than me, I could never do that in my age. I smiled before shaking my head throwing that thoughts away. "Emukae, do you want to always be with us? I can arrange it" I asked while thinking about Tsurubami, he is a blessing while I am still living here since his words are absolute. "... I'm sorry, but my mother will pick me up tomorrow.." Emukae said as tears slowly gathered on her eyes before it turned into loud sobbing. Zenkichi was confused with her reaction but did the thing that his mom would always do. He patted her head until an conversation appeared on his head, "Mukae-chan, Please marry me!" He said the words that Medaka said during their first meeting.

"Hoh, he is really special. Proposing when he don't even know the real meaning of it" I said smiling amused by this series of events. I already broke the possibility of Medaka and Zenkichi being a lover with this, but I feel like they would stay friends. "!? R-Really..?" Emukae asked with her eyes widened at Zenkichi's words. Zenkichi scratched his head, "I don't really know what that word means but yes! I'll marry you!" He said smiling at Emukae who cried again making Zenkichi stunned. "H-Hey, what's wrong? Did I say something?" He asked looking at Emukae with worried eyes.

Geez, this ship is already sailing. I shook my head at the stupid thought. "Will you promise me..?" Emukae asked as she raised her pinky finger towards Zenkichi. "Yes! I promise that I will marry you!" Zenkichi said as they crossed their pinky fingers to each other. This is quite sweet for me to watch, blooming relationship between two childs. I looked at Mashiro who watched it with shining eyes before taking her hand and clenching it. "Don't worry Mashiro, we won't lose against them" I said smiling at her who became happy with my words. "Hm!" She nodded her head cutely.
