Loli-man part.5 (End)

There is one personality who pushes all his needs into his hobbies as well as his duties. Even though he considered himself weak, the results spoke otherwise. His name is Loli-man, a person who likes Lolis and has a hobby of stalking little girls. Not only that, he has a hobby of collecting cosplay photos of little girls as well.

"Checkmate!"

To put it simply he's a man who is weak towards children, especially girls. However he also has things to fulfill in his life, and that is his mission. He also put the concept of 'trust' as a very important thing for living.

"...Nii-chan ya...We're playing UNO over here..."

"No Bronie-kun! What we're playing right now is...Yami no Geemu!"

And the aforementioned personality was playing cards with Bronie as well as Houraiji Kyuushou in the prison cell.

"Haxxor your time will be stopped, Skip!"

[...Mine turn? Then...Reverse?]

There was also Moriarty sitting next to Zeimachi with an innocent face and a lot of cards in her hands. The girl kept turning her head towards the man beside her who was secretly telling her about how to play UNO.

"Ah no, Moriarty. Don't put reverse right before me!"

Even though they were in prison, they didn't seem bothered at all. Be it Moriarty and Zeimachi or Houraiji Kyuushou and Bronie. On the contrary, the four of them were very happy when playing cards with each other.

"Then? How did you two got here Nii-chan ya?"

Bronie talk to Loli-man who has now regained all of his clones and their memories within different task and mission. Even though neither of them were wearing prisoner clothes, their handcuffs were enough of a prisoner mark.

"Hmm...Let's see..."

[...]

*Fast forward*

Previously, Loli-man and Moriarty were on the run from pursuit inside a gallery owned by the MOTH organization. The gallery was used as a shelter for the civilians until it was safe enough to get out, which resulted in less opportunities for them to sneak away.

Fortunately they made it with the help of Moriarty's teleport, or maybe spatial movement.

They only discovered the fact that the place wasn't the headquarters of MOTH not long after they came out and met Loli-man Delta who ran away in tattered clothes. They hid in an already quiet café to discuss further details while Loli-man Delta explained if he almost become a dad.

After that, Loli-man Delta informs him of Zeimachi's arrival to this world. This makes things even more chaotic and makes plans have to be overhauled. On the other hand, Moriarty who heard the news had a worried expression on her face.

Loli-man then contacted the other clones who were on their way to quickly speed up their pace and change the meeting location.

However, the feather in Loli-man Delta's hand begins to faded and returns to its original owner who was calling for him.

Realizing the key to his plan was disappearing, he used the power of the feather to quickly teleport the other clones to where they are now to quickly reunited before the feather completely disappeared, which resulted in the destruction of his artificial plans.

Of course the reality was not that easy either, the uninvited arrival of Yae Sakura also made him got arrested because Loli-man was unable to convince Yae Sakura at that time.

So even if Loli-man has reunited with the other clones and obtained their memories, he was still required to surrender himself to her and got dragged by Yae Sakura to Griseo's parents. She told him if they're a scientist and not a warden in the MOTH, but at least she got some info about Yae Rin's well being.

He didn't blame Moriarty because he wasn't the type to blame others for his own carelessness either. There were several conversations between Griseo's parents, Yae Sakura and Loli-man which in the end he had to be arrested because he already knew the secret in the gallery.

Yae Sakura wanted to finish her matter with him, only to be stopped by Griseo's father who told her if he took a liking at Loli-man. In the end, Yae Sakura restrained her killing intent and recovered her wounds from their fight.

As for Kosma, Griseo and Moriarty. They were in another room talking to each other, although Kosma was wary of the girl, Moriarty didn't think it was important and continued to think about the news she heard.

"Big Sis? Is there...Something wrong?"

The reason Kosma couldn't expel or ostracize Moriarty was because Griseo seemed to cling to Moriarty's side. Griseo herself was attracted to what she could only see in other people, namely their 'color'.

And every time Griseo saw someone else's 'color', she would imitate it before she poured it into her painting. Which means, right now Griseo is trying to understand Moriarty's 'color' not from that painting but from her true form.

As a guardian in this world, Moriarty knows many things but not everything. She also knew about who the girl in front of her was and what the man next to the girl was thinking. However even though she's practically a god in that world...

[He already met so many people...]

She couldn't understand her feelings at that moment. She wanted to meet him and on the other hand she was also afraid to meet him. Whereas before she was very happy when she met El Dust who used the body of the person she was waiting for, but now…Not anymore.

"Uhh? Is there something wrong?"

Kosma also tried to talk to her because he felt bad if the two girls thought he wasn't there.

[...]

As already pointed out, Moriarty didn't answer his question at all. This was because Moriarty heard a lot of thoughts from Kosma's head before he spoke, it seemed the man was thinking well what to say at the time, maybe even thinking too well.

After that, Moriarty followed Loli-man to the MOTH headquarters to be detained along with Yae Sakura's guide. No one can resist Moriarty because only Loli-man can touch her, like she's the omnipotent being of that world beside Zeimachi after all. Don't even talk about her, I mean HER.

Although Griseo was a little saddened by Moriarty's departure, with the presence of her parents Griseo was happy again. Meanwhile Kosma followed them to the 'real' MOTH base just in case something went wrong.

-----------

"Something like that. How about you two?"

[...]

He finished their story by laying down another card to continue the game. Loli-man notices some changes in Moriarty's face as he tells their story, but he decides to take care of it when he's about to return to the chamber of mind.

"Heeh~ Then let me tell you about ours now. Savior, you wanna go?"

"Change the flow of this world! Huh what?"

Houraiji Kyuushou put another reverse card to Bronie again. It seemed she was too happy playing that card game, she didn't even listen to Bronie's explanation.

"...Fine, its just me then."

------------

*Fast Forward*

It all started from one of the schools in the city of Soukai, the Saint Freya academy. The academy which is also the school where Kiana, Sirin and Bianca study is also where Bronie and Houraiji Kyuushou study.

Both of them have an attitude that makes ordinary people stay away from them, while Bronie is the hard-to-approach type, Houraiji Kyuushou who is able to see what will happen in the future is branded as having eighth grade syndrome.

On her journey to return light to the world, Houraiji Kyuushou often encounters Bronie who skips class to help others. They began to become close to the many meetings that had taken place.

Even though Bronie often mocked Houraiji Kyuusho about the words she used to say, but Bronie knew about what she had done to the people.

There're some other organizations who were aiming for them because of their achievements, but Houraiji Kyuushou knew nothing of it.

Then they told Loli-man about what Houraiji Kyuushou foresee in the future where Soukai city will be destroyed by huge rush of calamities. That's why the self accused greatest hacker and the savior set out to that destroyed Monolith's area.

Even though one of the disasters that Houraiji Kyuushou predicted had occurred and did not take any lives, she soon had another vision of an even bigger disaster where many people began to disappear and leaving only one girl.

It's a shame because Houraiji Kyuushou couldn't find out the identity of the girl, but she and Bronie tried to find the whereabouts of the figure in order to prevent the calamities that would occur.

----------

"But then~ We got found out by Kebin and that Grandma. What a luck right after we stole- confiscated that item."

Bronie let out a sigh and also forgot about Fu Hua who noticed them first from Shiki-chan's calls.

"Whoa~ I guess you two deserve that one haha."

"I don't want to hear that from a man with a girl in swimsuit beside him."

"Hey...She already changed right Moriarty?"

[...You don't like that swimsuit?]

Moriarty asked Loli-man who stepped on a landmine of girl's battle field.

"Uhh...What I don't like is when you putting reverse every time before my turn, so please stop that okay."

[Hmn...Okay.]

But she kept doing reverse for him again.

They continued to play UNO few more times before they got bored and started discussing their escape plan.

Bronie asks why he should do that since Bronya will definitely guarantee their freedom, Loli-man then replies that he doesn't want to see her for a while for some reason. This makes Bronie feel something is fishy between them.

Their discussion was interrupted by Yae Sakura who came along with Yae Rin and Higokumaru to see how they were doing. Yae Rin turned out to be safe and did not suffer the slightest injury. However it doesn't mean there's no danger looming over her.

When Yae Sakura was on her way to met her little sister, she saw several people glanced at Yae Rin with animosity in their eyes while she was walking beside her younger sister.

This made Yae Sakura feel a little relieved because she had picked up her sister earlier, because if she didn't then she would probably regret her delayed arrival.

"Ah! Are you okay Moriarty-san?! I'm worried because you so sudden to leave us...Ah...Umm hello again..."

Yae Rin greeted Moriarty and Loli-man from outside of their cell with Higokumaru the little floating fox who starred dagger at Loli-man. The little girl appeared to be more shy than before after she told Yae Sakura of her 'FRIEND' mark. (About that time Nanekluh ref Rednialsig kissed Yae Rin.)

"You're alive huh human."

"Sadly I am, want some of my autograph?"

"Not at all!"

Higokumaru then went somewhere to vent her anger in silence.

"Oh yeah Rin!"

After eliminating the noisy fly, Loli-man then called Yae Rin to settle the debt of Nanekluh ref Rednialsig who arbitrarily promises the impossible.

"Ah...yes?"

Yae Rin answered him meekly with some blushes on her cheek. Although he wanted to burnt this image into his collection, he deemed it as controlling the emotion of an immature girl so he didn't.

He then called Yae Rin to get closer within the distance allowed by Yae Sakura.

"I'm sorry."

He slid his hands through the iron bars to pamper the little girl's head and told his farewell to that girl.

"!!!"

The truth is, Loli-man was secretly creating an opportunity for Moriarty to get them out of this prison using her spatial moves. Even though they got some resistance from Yae Sakura and Kosma who soon arrived, they managed to get out of the prison and arrived at a deserted square.

The reason they moved to the town square was because Loli-man wanted to bring some new stuff for the other personalities in the Chamber of Mind, and bribe Zeimachi to add more collection.

"Ah!!! Nii-chan ya! Our stuff!"

But before that, Loli-man and Moriarty had to return to that place again to retrieve their leftover belongings, this was very inconvenient because Loli-man used a lot of complicated and not-so-efficient methods.

...

....

.....

"Hallo~ We've been waiting for you."

When they got there, they met Elysia and a nun standing quietly beside the pink elf. Even though Elysia seemed very enthusiastic about their arrival, the nun with the soulless-droopy eyes and gloomy expression didn't look the same.

Maybe Loli-man had already predicted these two women waiting for him and chose the complicated way. However, why would he?

"Here are yours and those two cuties belongings~ Don't forget to give my hello for them okay~"

"...Yeah."

It's really a pity that Loli-man doesn't seem interested in these two women even though they have good looks and beautiful bodies.

"Let's go Moriarty."

[Hnn.]

It was a pity again because he intended to leave immediately after receiving the items without greeting Aponia and Elysia.

"Eh~ You're really going to leave just like that? My maiden heart will be hurt if you act like that~"

Loli-man's steps stopped after he heard Elysia's words. Not because he cared, but because he remembered about Aponia's role in taking care of the many children in the orphanage.

Taking care of many children and watching them grow up was like a dream to Loli-man, so he decided to say a few farewells to the nun as a sign of his confession. Aponia is a nun after all.

"If only...You could stop your power from going wild...Do you still have the same hope for those children?"

"Me?"

"Not you, but her."

Loli-man quickly replied to Elysia's question and waited for Aponia's answer.

"...I only hope for the best in them. However, no matter how I tried...Those children will lost their light into that horrible future. You know about it too..."

They talk about the orphanage where Aponia lives and where many children who have had a bleak fate live their lives. The orphanage in question was the place Kallen had previously in the previous story.

"Yeah...I know about it very well."

"That's why...Please...Change their future, bring them again to the right path where I didn't have to see that nightmare."

Aponia clasped her hands, her posture in prayer appeared so elegant and sexy at the same time because of her tight clothes. However, Loli-man who had seen this scene in the distant past where humanity has lost their hope against Honkai didn't got entranced by her 'Discipline'.

"Rin...Is not a harbinger and you can do nothing to convince me in this way. You may wish for the best, but not prepared for the worst within humanity, Aponia."

Golden chain illuminated by lights appeared from Aponia only to got broken by another weapon in his right hand. He broke those ethereal chain by using that weapon and made it disappeared again.

[That one...]

Moriarty could recognizes that weapon within a single glances, however she didn't dare to spoke its name right before its owner. The weapon on his hand then disappeared into nothing.

"...Is there really nothing that I could do to persuade you? I...Want to see the future where those children laugh brilliantly without any remorse."

Elysia who stood at their side slowly becoming numb with this atmosphere where nothing looks fun.

"Hmm~ I think there is."

"Can I heard it? Please."

Hearing this Aponia become slightly enthusiastic because he could finally do her bidding in order to reduce the damage of inevitable. Aponia returned to her normal pose and awaiting for his requirements.

"Uhh...Can I hear it too? Being left at the side like this is not that fun~"

[...]

The moment he realized if there's more than one witnesses that'll heard this statement, Loli-man become tensed up since most of them are not within his strike range at all.

"Fine, but first...Give me the key of these hand cuffs."

"Oh wait! Here~ Thankfully I got one~ Now now! Hurry and tell us."

Loli-man took a deep breath and then...

"~~~~~~"

After he let out his statement, Aponia face looks so surprised that her eyelids opened slightly wider than how her usual reverence eyes was. Elysia gasped after she thought she had found an unexpected fun in this conversation.

Moriarty? She froze for a solid second before she got pulled by Loli-man.

...

....

.....

"Ah! Nii-chan ya and you too Swimsuit girl! What took you so long?!"

They returned to the deserted square where Bronie and Houraiji Kyuushou waiting for their arrival. Without further ado, Moriarty gave the two their things so that her hands wouldn't be too busy carrying lot of stuff.

They seem happy because they have got their respective 'treasures' and use their equipment back to their respective part of their bodies. They also picked the keys and uncuff their hands to be free from those metal.

Although still unsure about escaping the prison without waiting for Bronya, Bronie puts the matter aside and asks Moriarty about the Loli-man lying on the ground.

"I'mnotintoMILfLoliisbestI'mnotintoMILfLoliisbestI'mnotintoMILfLoliisbestI'mnotintoMILfLoliisbestI'mnotintoMILfLoliisbestI'mnotintoMILfLoliisbestI'mnotintoMILfLoliisbest."

"Hey Swimsuit- Ah no, Moriarty. What's wrong with that guy?"

"Hey~ Mister. He looks alive, but why is his eyes not?"

Houraiji Kyuushou peeked at Loli-man who are in the middle of identity crisis after that cringe line he just spoke to Aponia. The man lied motionless like a human being who is thinking about all the mistakes in his life.

[...He become like this after-]

"Moriarty! Stop!"

Loli-man tried to stop Moriarty from verbally killing him, but he was too late because the girl had already taken the same pose and matched her voice so that the words that came out later would match her memory.

["Let me bring you to those future as well, Aponia."]

[As soon he spoke those words...His face turned red, but I think it's cute for him to be like that.]

And so, Loli-man mentally died and fade into the chamber of mind.

Well I hope that's how it done, but his hope will never die.

He still need to take care of the agreement with Leviathan. So he parted with those duo and asked Moriarty to teleport him to where Leviathan was.

He told the Leviathan if the dragon that she has been looking for was far in the other continents where there's no water and only sand covering its land. It's not Tiamat though, but it's another colleagues she acquainted in the past and got separated because of their different ideals.

Then, Loli-man told Moriarty of where Zeimachi was and starting to fade for real into the chamber of mind. His body that was now empty from any persona also turned into light particles (His clothes counted too), and guided her to the place where its belonged.

Together with the timeless girl, his body flowed like a wind to deliver Loli-man's bribe.
