Someone up there really had to hate him. They were probably looking down at him, pointing and laughing. Some sick twisted sense of humor those deities must have to want… this.

How had Yuzuriha convinced him again? Subaru sighed, closing his eyes for the umpteenth time.



One week before…

“It’s all for the children in the elementary division!” Yuzuriha exclaimed, pushing the flyer towards her other companions. “Imonoyama-san said it would suit them well to get their minds off the earthquakes in Tokyo.”

“That sounds like a great idea!” Sorata nodded enthusiastically. “How about we all help?”

“Doing what exactly?” Kamui had been quiet the whole time and was now staring at the pink flyer with mild doubt.

Subaru didn’t blame him. Since they’d been spending time with the director, they’d notice come to notice his… ah eccentric attitude.

“Oh Imonoyama-san said they’d pull names of the volunteers out of a hat for every kind of job,“ The inugami mistress began ticking off the jobs on her fingers, “there will be volunteers helping at the petting zoo, some organizing games stands, and then others will be helping in the kitchens, others setting up the stage for play of some sort, others will volunteers dressing up in costumes and-”

“Not interested.” Kamui replied firmly.

“But Kamui-san,” the expression on her face could have been mistake for a pout and it made Subaru cringe with guilt, “I already said we all would volunteer!”


Subaru knew she’d only been trying to help. He knew it wasn’t her fault. Really there were plenty of jobs to have gotten chosen for (Kamui had to help with the games stands, Yuzuriha had to help with the food along with Arashi, and Sorata was having fun at the petting zoo) and it wasn’t as if she had purposely told Imonoyama-san to take out his name for just the wrong job.

It wasn’t Yuzuriha’s fault at all. It was those deities up there that obviously wanted to see him in a penguin suit. Sick, twisted, sense of humor- that or they were teaming up with Hokuto-chans’s spirit to embarrass him beyond belief.

“Well Subaru-kun, I’ll admit I always thought red looked good on you but black definitely suits you.”

Yes, they hated him.

Turning- no waddling- around mask in hand (he had only taken it off for a second to get some air) he came face to face with the least person he wanted to see. For a moment there- the heat of the suit must be getting to him- he thought he could hear Hokuto’s cackle of glee. But then he blinked and it was gone. The only thing he was certain of was the unmistakable smirk on Seisirou’s face

Could someone kill him now? Maybe Seishirou would offer if he asked but all he managed when he opened his mouth was an odd gurgling noise him the back of his throat. This only made the Sakurazukamori chuckle- he should have known Seishirou would this funny.

“I only came by to eat ice cream; I heard they would have over 1,000 flavors here.” He was turning to leave Subaru alone whose odd sounds still hadn’t stopped- when he added, “you make a very cute penguin Subaru-kun. You should cosplay more often- it would certainly put a spark into our love life.”

Subaru’s noises stopped and all he could do was stare after Seishirou, struck speechless at his last words.
