Chapter 23 - Chapter 22: And meanwhile?

After the last rascals went to School.

-Riku: "Have a good day!"

Riku returns to his apartment.

-Riku: "...now what?"

Riku takes a tour of his apartment.

-Riku: "I do have a j*b, but for some reason today I don't have to work..."

Riku sits on a bench outside.

-Riku: "Hm..."

Riku sits at his desk, looking at his finished paper.

-Riku: "Hm..."

Riku stood in a random crosspath of a nearby park.

-Riku: "Hm..."

Riku returns home.

-Riku: "No explosions... No cries... No complaints... No toilet blocked...And no tsundereness..."

Riku lies on his futon.

-Riku: "Is this going to be a boring chapter?"

Riku thinks that, and the Author is saying a big "No" in the background with a huge smirk.

1 minute later.

Riku is lying on the floor, dead.

-Narrator: "WHAT COULD'VE HAPPENED IN THOSE 1 MINUTES??"

Riku tries to lift his head.

-Narrator: "Oh, never mind, he's not dead."

-Riku: "I can't take it anymore..."

Suddenly, someone appears before him.

-Riku: "Huh..."

-???: "Stand ready for my arrival, worm."

-Riku: "...you ain't conquest duh"

-???: "Right...I am Boredom."

-Riku: "Boredom?"

-Boredom: "Yeah, and I was sent here to take you out since death had quit his j*b."

-Riku: "Is that so...?"

-Boredom: "Yes indeed, you have been suffering from the illness 'Daddyissue' since this morning."

-Riku: "The WHAT?"

-Boredom: "ah shit, the other way around...ahem...you have been suffering from the illness 'ifican'tseemygloriouskidiwillcommitsudoku!' from this morning"

-Riku: "And what does that mean?"

-Boredom: "Basically, it's because you cannot entertain your kids since they are not with you, and you are losing your mind, and that's why I came."

-Riku: "But then...if you take me out, I won't be able to see them anymore for the rest of eternity."

-Boredom: "Exactly, but at least it will put an end to your suffering".

-Riku: "Nah...I'd rather suffer than die now"

-Boredom: "You're saying it like it's an unpopular opinion."

Riku stands up, one arm to the sky.

-Riku: "I will resist until the end!"

-Boredom: "You are NOT all might"

-Riku: "You said you were boredom, right?"

-Boredom: "Yes, I am."

-Riku: "You gave me a good idea..."

-Boredom: "What?"

Sometimes later.

Boredom has been tied up by Riku.

-Boredom: "How is this possible? You both ate me and were at some random school places at the same time to protect your kids?"

-Riku: "Unseriousness, I heard it's one of my superpowers."

-Boredom: "I am literally an untouchable entity! How did you tie me up??"

-Riku: "I also wonder what is happening inside the author's mind."

The author's mind.

...YAPIE YAPIE YAPIE!

Chibi's version of him dancing, but censored, duh.

Back to Riku.

-Riku: "Now, imma hide you somewhere."

Riku hides boredom in a random place as he checks the time.

-Riku: "I didn't notice the time! Yaku will soon leave her middle school!"

Riku leaves, low-key sprinting in match 5 toward the middle school.

-Riku: "I am late!"

-Narrator: "How can you even be late at that speed?!"

Soon enough, Riku arrives at the middle school.

-Riku: "Phew, made it in time, there is only 1 hour left until she finishes."

-Narrator: "And you say you were late??"

1 hour later.

Yaku just left the middle school (many use of the word middle school, huh?)

-Yaku: "Ah Riku you're here"

-Riku: "yeah.."

-Yaku: "Today was pretty...bizarre"

-Riku: "Yeah, like a random popular boy tried to hit on you."

-Yaku: "That did happen to be honest."

-Riku: "Oh really...?"

-Yaku: "That guy left me alone somehow."

-Riku: "I wonder why..."

They both left, going to the primary school next.

-Yaku: "We were 1 minute ago at my school, what?"

-Riku: "You guys basically finish school at the same time, it wouldn't be logical."

-Yaku: "Fair enough."

Juni, Amane, and Iso are leaving the school and heading toward Riku and Yaku.

-Juni: "Today was...quite stimulating."

-Amane(smugly): "I take back what I said, School is pretty cool."

-Iso: "Me too, all the subjects are such beautiful boring things, I wanna live in school"

-Riku: "I am happy you guys had a good day."

They all left and went to the daycare, and Momo just finished as she is getting closer to everyone.

-Momo: "Papa!"

Riku's inner monologue is suffering from happiness.

-Riku: "How has the day been?"

-Momo: "It...had been..great!"

-Yaku: "Wow, she improved a lot."

-Juni: "Finally! She won't be a side character anymore!"

-Amane: "Enjoy it while you can."

-Iso: "I was wrong about school, it was boring and I liked it."

Momo noticed that her siblings were also in uniforms.

-Momo: "You...school?"

-Riku: "Yep, they also went to school."

End of chapter.

(It's not like I was lazy and just rewrote chapter 17's ending or anything!)
