Chapter 83 - A Ghostly Guardian! Caught!

Togata gets ready inside some sort of bunker a mirror in front of him as he tries to copy Aira's style from yesterday.

''It seems your fond of this style young master''. Tick teases.

''I like it, Aira knows what she's doing''. Togata says as he finishes and heads out of some kind of underground bunker.

''How were the designs?''. Togata asks.

''I submitted them and they deposited the money into our account immediately, we seems to have some funds now''. Tick says happily.

''You seem a little too excited about having some money, you're a gold digger aren't you?''. Togata jokes.

''Hmph, I did not come to the world to die and to suffer once again''. Tick says.

''Oh c'mon Tick you know I'll treat you to the good life''. Togata says laughing as he takes some EarPods and puts them in his ear.

''You seem fond of music lately''. Tick says.

''Yeah, I like it, it's nice''. Togata says.

''Although I do not like these modern songs I must concur this electronic pop is more of my style''. Tick says shuffling around.

''Is that what you call dancing?''. Togata asks chuckling.

''In my day these were the best moves they had to offer!''. Tick says.

Togata heads to school as in the halls every girls gasps and greets him a bit more lost in thought as usual, some mouths even open wide.

''You look great Togata''. A girl says timidly.

''Thank you''. Togata says with a smile.

''Oh my, with this new style you are even more of a lady killer young master, the school might have to ban you''. Tick jokes happily.

''Don't be dramatic Tick, by the way don't you have somewhere to be? Go watch miss Seiko, if anything comes up call ok? Do whatever you have to in order to make sure she doesn't get''. Togata asks.

''Indeed young master now that I have a cell phone of my own I will make sure to contact you in case anything comes up, although you must not slay all the girls with your charms''. Tick says as he becomes transparent and flies out of Togata's body.

''Uh huh''. Togata says as he walks past the scores for yesterdays test.

A bunch of students are gathered around looking for their test scores.

''That was quick''. Togata says to himself as he looks at the scores, he sees it at the top of the list, 100%.

''What a perfect score? After missing class too what the hell''. A boy says.

Suddenly gossip fills the halls. But then he notices Riku's name at 5th place, 80%.

''An A, nice one Riku''. Togata smiles as he enters into class.

Riku stands on his chair in front of the class declaring superiority as Togata goes to sit down.

''Riku, congrats on the A, I'm proud''. Togata says.

''There he is! The man of the hour! The one and only my tutor!''. Riku says giving Togata a fist bump. ''You're the best bro!''.

''Ugh why'd you have to help him Togata, now he won't shut up about it''. Ren jokes.

''Nah I won't by the way what did we talk about?''. Riku says.

Suddenly Ren keeps quiet.

''Huh?''. Togata asks.

''A bet don't worry about it, by the way, woah, I like the new style dude, no offence but you're last one was kinda boring''. Riku says.

Togata just laughs. ''Thanks''.

''Listening to some music too, oof, what you just got paid or something?''. Ren jokes.

''Actually yeah''. Togata says.

All the boys go deadpan.

''Bro what is your life''. Haruto says jealous.

''Whatever of course he would be happy when he got a perfect score, congrats Togata''. Ren says.

''Thanks Ren''. Togata replies.

''Psh, can't believe you get a perfect score without studying, I studied my ass off''. Riku says.

Togata just smiles but he remembers what he said to Dark Togata about being himself. ''Hey guys, can we not talk about school work or work stuff while I'm here?''.

Everyone goes quiet.

''I thought you'd never ask dude, I like this new Togata''. Riku jokes. 

''Nice''. Togata says.

''By the way speaking of school....I uhh have a favor dude if you don't mind''. Riku asks.

''Go ahead''. Togata says.

''Uh uh! Don't mind him Togata he's just gonna ask for something stupid''. Ren says.

''Uh huh, Ren, shhhh''. Riku says pointing to his lips.

Ren gestures that his mouth is sealed.

''Anyway I wanted to ask you if you'd want to be my assistant, cause I'm running for class rep''. Riku asks.

''I'm sorry no, I just don't get invovled in these politcs stuff''. Togata says.

Riku goes on his knees. ''C'mon Togata please! There's no way I'd win without you! But if you're assistant everyone will trust me more please!''.

Togata sighs and thinks about it for a second. ''Sure, I will but don't expect much from me really, I don't like all this stuff''. 

''Oh yeah! Thanks dude I owe ya one!''. Riku says.

''Why do you want to be class rep anyway?''. Togata asks.

Haruto speaks up. ''I have an idea why...All the class reps of the other classes are girls and they usually meet up for meetings and stuff usually as a sleep over at their houses, if he becomes class rep he'll have to meet with em too''.

Togata looks over at Riku with a judging look but a smile.

''Hey...It's not totally that, I care about the class too!''. Riku lies.

''No need to worry, I don't ask questions, I already agreed''. Togata says.

''Thanks dude''. Riku replies.

Suddenly the teacher comes into class. ''Alright settle down, time for some revision and review, Riku, good work on the test yesterday, that's the highest you've ever scored, ever!''.

Everyone laughs as Riku cringes at his table.

''Keep it up. And Togata....What can I say, keep it up as well if possible''. The teacher continues.

''Yes sir''. Togata says.

''Alright lets get straight into it''. The teacher says.

Meanwhile Tick flies over to Momo's house as he sees Turbo Granny and Seiko leaving as they get into a taxi.

''Leave it to me young master, I will make sure no harm comes to them!''. Tick says as he flies after them.

Tick flies after their taxi for a while as they reach another part of the city, an Isolated place, almost like a village.

Suddenly the taxi stops. ''Sorry miss this is as far as I go, past here...No I'll pass on being cursed or something''. The taxi driver says as he asks for his pay.

''Couldn't go any further?...Whatever, c'mon take your damn money, I'll walk''. Seiko says as she smokes a cigarette.

''Damn coward''. Turbo Granny whispers but the taxi driver seems to hear it.

Seiko gets out of the taxi as it drives away.

''What's up with this call anyway! The bastard on the other line was so being all mysterious, damn punk barely gave us any info''. Turbo Granny says resting on Seiko's shoulder as she holds a phone.

''Dunno, but he gave us good money so like I care''. Seiko says as she walks.

''Yeah but I'm tired!''. Turbo Granny shouts.

''How the hell are you tired!? Ya didn't even follow us yesterday to exorcise that Rin girl Okarun brought, ya lazy ass cat!''. Seiko shouts back.

''I had to watch over the other brat didn't I? Ya old hag!''. Turbo Granny replies.

''Psh, weak''. Seiko says.

Turbo Granny grunts angrily. ''Why I'll!....''. 

Tick follows from above flying after them being careful not to be seen. ''It is unfortunate I cannot go invisible all the time, I would not want to completely drain the young master's life force''.

Seiko walks as she feels something and turns around but just then Tick hides behind a local house. ''Hmm, ya feel that?''.

Turbo Granny feels it too. ''Yeah, we're being followed by something''. Turbo granny turns around. 

''Don't look and act all suspicious!''. Seiko shouts.

''Ugh I know just checking!''. Turbo Granny shouts back, then she faces forward and uses the phone pretending to use it but puts it on selfie mode as she looks behind the two.

Tick comes out of his hiding spot as he continues following them. ''That was close, miss Seiko is quite literally the real deal, I must be more cautious!''.

''Ya see anything?''. Seiko says still walking as though nothing is happening.

''Nope''. Turbo Granny replies.

''Must be a spirit''. Seiko says as she makes a seal and puts it on the phone. ''What about now?''.

Turbo Granny looks carefully as Tick suddenly appears on the video flying behind them. ''Huh!? It's the damn butler ghost of the rich kid!''. She shouts.

''Albert!?''. Seiko says suddenly she turns around.

Tick hides again just in time.

''Hey Albert! Get out here!''. She shouts.

''Oh no! Oh no! I've been discovered! The young master will be so irritated''. Tick says panicking.

''Are you that useless? You couldn't follow an old lady and a damn lucky cat figurine!? Maybe Death is the better spirit''. A young version of Togata says as he looks over Tick in anger very dramatically.

Death laughs behind Togata as he throws away the pocket watch.

''Hey! Ya damn butler get out here!''. Turbo granny shouts.

It snaps Tick out of his imagination as he flies out carefully. ''Eh ehm, good morning miss Seiko,...Cat one''. 

''Weakling!''. Turbo Granny shouts back.

''What ya doing following me Albert?''. Seiko asks suspiciously.

''Well, I just can't say but...It's for your own good miss!''. Tick declares dramatically.

''For my own good? So you think I'm weak?''. Seiko says.

''Of course not! it's just...Well...Only the young master can say I am not authorized!''. Tick says.

Seiko sighs. ''Fine whatever, you came all this way so better tag along. The kid has been acting suspicious when we met at the eat out, I'll ask him when we get back, c'mon Albert follow''. 

''Thank you miss''. Tick says.

''Psh just don't get in the way ghosty!''. Turbo Granny shouts.

''Don't accidently die cat, wait no, that would be most optimal!''. Tick says.

''I'll murderize ya!''. Turbo Granny shouts trying to hit Tick who floats beside.

''Can you both stop shouting!''. Seiko shouts.
