The duel day... Or not so much actually

(A/N Notes: I found another image that I found better fitting for Iki

Artist: 咲良ゆき /사쿠라 유키 [Pixiv]

And don't complain, I just happened to see it and find it more fitting)

The day before the duel

It was after school and you were going back to the dormitory as you remembered about the duel

Y/N: "Tomorrow is the duel with that guy... Maybe I should rest today"

Then your phone rang and you answered the call

???: "HELP!!!"

Put the phone away from your ear when that shout came from the other end

Y/N: "What's the problem, Benzaiten-sensei?"

Benzaiten: "*Sobbing* The deadline is tomorrow and I didn't even manage to make half of the chapter. PLEASE HELP ME!!!"

Y/N: "I see... Well, good luck with that!"

Benzaiten: "Don't abandon me at this critical moment! You're the guy that I know that have the know-how of manga making!"

Y/N: "What about your assistants?"

Benzaiten: "They're on vacation" *Depressed tone*

Y/N: "Too bad for you, now bye!"

Benzaiten: "WAIT!!! I'll give you a fat paycheck!"

Y/N: "I'm already receiving a fat paycheck"

Benzaiten: "Then... Then... THEN I'LL ORDER THAT SUPER DELUXE MEAL FROM THE DELUXE MENU OF THAT REALLY EXPENSIVE RESTAURANT THAT EVERYONE'S TALKS ABOUT FOR YOU!!!"

Y/N: "I'm all ears, what do you need me for?"

You were already drooling from hearing that and agreed to help Benzaiten on finishing her manga in time

Y/N: "Iki, I'll be certainly spending the entire night helping someone, so I'll call Aimiko-san to ask her to let you sleep in her house"

You were going back to the dormitory so of course, she was accompanying you

Iki: "Huh!? I can take care of myself, I have been living alone for ages now"

Y/N: "You were a ghost until some weeks ago. You didn't eat, drink, or played, you only scared people and lived like an awakened professional hikikomori, so no you can't take care of yourself"

Iki began to pout and to tear up since she couldn't refute what you said about her

Y/N: "Though you being short and cute do make up for a good moe gap..."

Iki: "C-C-C-Cute!?"

Y/N: "Yeah, yeah" *calling Aimiko* <Hmmm... Talking about ghosts, I need to remember to call my parents to see if they're in Luci-san's place so that they can send me another copy of that talisman>
