Chapter 34: Exeption

(3rd pov)

Everyone was surprised by Rito's statement.

Lala: "Brown?"

Rito: "Yeah. They're dark brown, to be exact."

Lala: "It's strange. Every time I look at his eyes, they're blue."

Lala put a hand on her chin and started thinking.

Risa: "Maybe we should ask Ryoto about it. I mean, he should know the most about it, but..."

They all looked at Ryoto, who avoided Haruna's like fire. He was still sticking to the ceiling, and Akiho was still trying to get him down.

Akiho: "Stop running away!"

Ryoto: "Stop trying to hug me!"

Akiho: "Never!"

Ryoto: "You last time you were near me, I got trauma!"

Akiho: "But you were so cute back then!"

It went like that for ten minutes.

Mio: "Should we help him?"

Risa: "What?"

Risa was already sitting down and watching the ongoing show while eating snacks. She was also recording the whole event with her phone.

Risa: "Mikan's going to love it."

Rito: "Maybe we really should help Nii-san. I've never seen him panic like that."

Rito worried about his older brother. Ryoto, while he was distancing himself from the family, still acted like a dependable brother.

Lala: "Oh, I know how to help!"

Lala took out her dial-kun. It looked like the standard phone, and it worked like one, but unlike the traditional phone, it uses dimension technology that contains her inventions which she uses to 'call' upon them.

This time she took out a bazooka-like weapon. It was Sticky-Gooey Launcher-kun, a huge cannon-like gun that shoots a really sticky goo substance.

Lala took aim and shot two times. Once at Ahiko and the other time at Ryoto. Akiho was glued to the wall while Ryoto dodged effortlessly. After landing on the floor, he wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Akiho: "Ryo-chan, if you wanted that kind of play, you just needed to say~."

Ryoto: "To this day, I don't know you're not on FBI's watchlist."

He then turned towards the group.

Ryoto: "Thanks Lala, but why did you also shoot at me?" Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Lala: "I thought that if you would get a chance to talk with her, then you would get along with her."

Risa turned to still glued Akiho.

Risa: "Anything to add to his statement?"

Akiho: "Nothing~"

Risa: "Then we can move to the next topic. What's up with your eyes?"

Ryoto: "My eyes, they're as ordinary as they can be."

Ryoto lied as naturally as he breathed.

Risa: "What I meant us Lala claims that your eyes are blue while Rito that they're brown. So which is it?"

Ryoto: "Blue."

Risa: "Prove it."

Ryoto: "Ask Mikan or Mikado-sensei."

Risa: "Open them."

Ryoto: "Only my family and doctor can see my eyes."

Risa and everyone else was confused at what Ryoto said.

Risa: "Why?"

Ryoto: "What you want to see my eyes without being even my girlfriend, you pervert."

Ryoto acted very embarrassedly through the whole sentence.

Lala: "Does it mean I'm like family?"

Ryoto: "Always has been."

Ryoto then hugged Lala, and she returned it.

Akiho: "Awww, how sweet. Now give me a hug too!"

Ryoto: "Did you need to ruin the moment?"

Akiho: "If you hug me, the moment will be enchanted."

Everyone looked at her in disbelief. Even her little sister.

Haruna: "Onee-chan..."

Ryoto: "Well, it's enough of recalling the past for a day."

The group left Haruna's home, but Ryoto, Rito, and Lala were forced to return shortly after because they forgot to unstuck Akiho.
