Still at Momo's house Tick sighs. ''The young master never fails to find himself in unfortunate circumstances''.
Meanwhile In Aira's house Togata sits on his knees down on the floor as Aira and her Dad sit on the couch in front of him, Aira's father still holding the bat as he beats it onto his hand repeatedly staring daggers at Togata.
Mr. Shiratori leans forward his voice low. "What are your intentions with my daughter?".
Aira turns completely red, covering her face with her hands. "DAD, STOP SAYING WEIRD STUFF!!". Aira says muffled.
Togata, feeling for the first time in his life what true embarrassment is, clears his throat awkwardly.
Togata scratches his cheek "Sir, I swear, nothing weird happened. I was just helping her study, and then… uh… somehow I ended up here."
Mr. Shiratori stares at him, then squints as if studying his face. ''Huh? That makes no sense. You're a horrible liar''.
Togata sighs as he scratches his head. ''Ok sir...Let's start over...My name is Togata Toriyama I....''.
Suddenly, her father gasps. "Wait a minute… I know you! You're that prodigy kid from the news the other night, aren't you?!".
Togata looks surprised, while Aira groans in embarrassment.
''Yes sir''. Togata replies.
Her father turns on the TV to see a picture of Togata and compares it to his face.
Mr. Shiratori gasps excitedly. "Yes this boy goes to your school?! Why didn't you say so earlier?!".
Togata is caught off guard as Mr. Shiratori suddenly stands up and lifts him up as well, bowing slightly before shaking Togata's hand vigorously.
Mr. Shiratori grins widely "Ahh! I see now! I am Mister Shiratori, Aira's father! It's an honor to meet such a bright young man!".
"No, sir! The honor's mine!". Togata replies laughing nervously.
Aira looks like she wants to melt into the couch. Mr. Shiratori, now beaming with joy, suddenly clasps Togata's shoulders.
Her father notices his over-enthusiasm as he sits back down, Togata immediately falls to the ground back into his seating position as he feels it right.
''Eh ehm, so how did you get in?''. Her father asks.
Togata looks at Aira who just waves her hands as he sighs. ''I came in through the window''.
''We live pretty high up, how did you manage to climb in?''. Her father asks.
''I'm very athletic''. Togata replies almost robot like.
''And you did all this just to help my daughter study?''. Her father asks.
Togata nods yes sighing.
Mr. Shiratori stands up as he grabs his shoulders again. "You should stay for dinner! Aira needs more friends like you!".
Her father immediately puts him between Aira and himself.
Aira, still red in the face, discreetly kicks Togata's leg.
Togata flinches as he forces a smile. "Oh, um… that's very kind of you, sir, but I, uh unfortunately have some important work to finish tonight.".
Her father sighs but nods in understanding.
''Please forgive me for tonight's...Scandal you must understand you were in quite a compromising position...And my daughter here didn't inform me about your visit, I hope this won't discourage you from being her friend''. Her father asks.
''Of course not sir, I understand''. Togata replies. ''I really just have my own homework to do''.
Mr. Shiratori smiles. "Ah, a dedicated young man, I see! Well, you're welcome anytime. But Togata! I insist please join us for dinner!".
Aira, beyond mortified, gets up quickly and drags Togata toward the door.
Mr. Shiratori calls out as he watches. "Aira, be nice to him! A bright young man like this is a rare find!".
Aira shouts through clenched teeth. "DAD. PLEASE. STOP TALKING."
Mr. Shiratori just laughs, waving as Togata steps outside.
Togata smiles trying to lighten the mood as he rubs his neck. "Well… that was an experience."
"Just go already…" Aira grumbles as she slams the door shut in his face.
Togata stands there for a moment before he sighs laughing to himself as he walks away, hands in his pockets.
The next day Togata stands in class Riku by his side as they have started the debate, Riku sweats as he steps up to the front of the class.
''So Riku why do you think you should be class rep?''. A girl asks.
''I...I...''. Riku just sighs. ''I'm best suited for the position?''.
''Why?''. The girl asks again.
Riku looks at Togata then Togata just smiles back.
''Yeah...Riku stop the shit bro we all know why you want to become the class rep, let's just elect someone who can actually do something you're lucky no one else really cares so no one else ran for class rep''. A boy says as h
Riku becomes teary eyed as he looks at Togata with puppy dog eyes.
''I regret allowing you to apologize to this boy, the recent friends you have made are quite disappointing''. Tick comments in his head.
Togata sighs as he steps up to the podium.
''Young master I do not reccomend this!''. Tick warns.
''This is what friends do Tick, you said I should act more my age...''. Togata teases.
''I did not mean it this way!''. Tick replies.
Togata comes up head down as he sighs. ''Hey, Good Morning everyone I'm...''.
''We know who you are dude...You're the guy that makes us look stupid''. A boy jokes.
Suddenly everyone in the class laughs.
Togata finds himself laughing as well. ''Not what I'd like to be known for but sure, I guess, I didn't want to run for that exact reason, instead I thought I'd back up my friend Riku. I'm sure you all know him, and I can't promise you all he will be a good class rep''.
''Hey...''. Riku says still halfway crying.
Everyone in the class laughs.
''But I can promise you he'll work hard to reach your expectations, we all know how hard he's worked to get his grades up...and I trust him...So, If anything happens I'll be held accountable for him ok?''. Togata says honestly.
Riku cries as he makes a heart shape with his hands.
Togata just laughs.
''Yeah whatever, if you're his assistant he can't totally run us into the ground''. A boy sighs. ''Sure you're class rep dude, not sure we need to vote since no one ran''.
''YES!''. Riku shouts as he dances.
The whole class laughs at him.
''Yeah already regretting this''. Ren jokes as Togata goes over to sit down.
''Ehh, put some faith in him, he won't disappoint, I'm sure''. Togata says.
''Alright, my first decision as class rep is half days baby, everyone get out!''. Riku declares.
The whole class erupts into cheers as the girls just giggle at him.
The teacher walks into the class as he stands behind Riku. ''I'm not so sure you can do that...Class rep''.
''Uhhh, maybe consider it?''. Riku jokes.
The teacher sighs with a smile as he points over to Riku's seat.
Riku goes to sit down as he fists bumps the boys on the way.
''Alright, that's great it went smoother than I expected, and I heard your little speech Togata, I'm impressed but I'll hold you to that ok?''. The teacher says.
Togata nods yes with a smile.
''And Riku, you're gonna have to keep your grades up in order to remain class rep so I hope you're ready for the challenge''. The teacher reminds. ''Alright let's get right to it''.
After class Togata and Riku walk to the class rep meeting held due to their new member.
Riku laughs maniacally as he rubs his hands together. ''Hehehe''.
''Hey, your desperation is showing, wouldn't want to scare the girls off would you?''. Togata jokes.
''HEHHEHEHE!...Thank you! You're the best!''. Riku says as he puts a hand around his shoulder.
''Yeah, yeah, just don't make me regret helping you, the class comes first, and your...hobby later''. Togata explains.
Riku sees he is serious. ''No need to be so serious dude don't worry I've got it''.
Togata smiles as he sighs. ''Ok bro, enjoy yourself I guess?''.
''WAIT!".Riku shouts as he stops Togata before reaching a room. ''How do I look!?".
Togata pretends to style his hair. ''Great lets go''.
''Yess!''. Riku says as he takes a deep breath and walks into the room.
''I'm in awe with the influences you decide to mingle with young master''. Tick sighs.
''Yeah yeah...''. Togata replies with a smile as he enters the room.
