"Hello viewers...Shinko here...and yes viewers...I am still currently stuck in Keiko's body...But anyway viewers, let us now get on with the chapter...but first, a chapter recap...okay?...*I proceed to say this, while smiling with both of my eyes closed*"

Okay, so as it currently had been from the previous chapter. Me and Momoko, had just witnessed Usagi, who was currently in Shokuhou's body, use one of Shokuhou's many remotes, that she used for her Mental Out ability. And she had used it, to slightly alter the thoughts of the head dorm supervisor.
And not surprisingly...
"Usagi...can you please do me and Momoko a favor, and perhaps don't do anything more with Shokuhou's many remotes?" I proceeded to ask Usagi, with a bead of sweat now making its presence known on one side of Keiko's face.
"Oh, but why not?" Usagi now responded back with. And in a somewhat whiny like tone, that all but matched the same sort of tone, that she normally used, when she usually argued with Rei back in the Sailor Moon anime.
"Uh...well you see Usagi..." I began to say, while trying my very best to choose my next set of words very carefully.
But thankfully...
"Well Usagi, it would be very dangerous if you were to do so, without any of the three of us knowing what Shokuhou can still do with her Mental Out ability, even though Exterior, has already been destroyed," Momoko now proceeded to say to Usagi in response. And even though this was currently coming out of Misaka's mouth. I somehow still found it, to be a bit unnerving, since I knew that Momoko was currently in Misaka's body.
And not surprisingly...
"Okay, so I guess that I am still not used to Momoko speaking in such a more intelligent sounding manner...Especially since she is speaking through Misaka at the current moment...And no viewers...I am not saying that Momoko is not intelligent...so do me a favor viewers...and don't go falsely assuming...that that is in some way what I was thinking...okay?" I thought to myself. To which during this thought, I had briefly turned my attention, slightly to the left of me, in order to briefly address the viewers.
But as luck would have it, a portal now suddenly opened up in the foyer where the three of us were currently.
And upon the three of us nodding to each other, we then proceeded through the portal, which wound up instantly closing behind us.
And, once the surroundings around us had become visible, after a few seconds. We then noticed, that we had been deposited to back in front of the lab building. Albeit, it was slightly to the side, of where the three of us had been previously.
But, not even a couple of seconds after we had all realized this fact. We then noticed, that one of the windows on the lab building, had now begun to shine quite intensely bright. And it wasn't a naturally intense brightness, when something like the sun had reflected off of it either.
But, out of this very window, came a tall woman figure, with light brown hair styled into two large bangs. Which framed the sides of her face, four thinner locks of hair branching out from the top of her head, and curving downwards on either side like antennae, and she also had bright blue eyes. She also had dark blue triangular markings adorning her cheeks, with a thin diamond-shaped crest in the center of her forehead. She also had a slim, yet shapely figure and creamy light complexion.
And upon me then looking in front of me. I then noticed that this tall woman, who had just finished emerging from the window in question. Her creamy light complexion was unlike the more voluptuous, bronze-skinned appearance that a certain silver haired goddess had. Who believe it or not, was also currently present. And this of course, was Urd.
The only thing was...
"Hey Urd...so neither you or Belldandy could've been even the least bit bothered to wait for me?!" A now new female voice now spoke up with. And from what I had just heard, it seemed to have said this, in a very ticked off sounding tone.
"Oh...that's right, I sort of forgot about her.." I now thought to myself, as a third figure now appeared, having apparently run towards Belldandy and Urd, looking quite worn out, as if she had run all the way here from a bit of a ways away. In fact, she actually had.
This third individual had brown eyes and long black hair. And, like Belldandy and Urd, had similar blue markings on her face. But what was different about her, was that she seemed to be carrying a mallet of sorts, in her hands.
And sure enough...
"And Skuld, would you mind telling me exactly why I should've chosen to wait for you?" Urd now responded to Skuld with, now showing the sort of expression on her face, that pretty much told me, that she had intended to leave Skuld behind on purpose.
"What was that Urd?! You really can be an immense pain sometimes, you know that?!" Skuld now responded back to Urd with, now sounding even more pissed off, then when she had first arrived on the scene.
"Oh Skuld, whatever do you mean?" Urd now wound up asking Skuld in return. Which pretty much now confirmed to me, that she was now attempting to gaslight Skuld.
And not surprisingly...
"Don't give me that Urd! You know exactly what it is that I mean by that!" Skuld now wound up responding back to Urd with. And while Urd now sheepishly smiled, now quite proud of herself for having succeeded in gaslighting Skuld.
And while this was currently going on, and me now noticing that all the rest of our allies, were also currently present as well...
"Shouldn't we do something about the two of them arguing?" Someone who resembled Yuri, now asked out loud. And this was while a sweatdrop, had become present, and had then proceeded to make its way down Yuri's face.
"I wouldn't worry too much about it Ami, as this, is actually normal for the both of them," Someone who resembled Shinko then said in response to Ami's question. While she too now had a sweatdrop, slowly making its way down one side of her face.
But despite the sweatdrop, I now pretty much knew, that me, Momoko, and Usagi, were not the only ones that had been affected by Aleister Crowley's spell.
And upon me realizing this fact, I then turned my attention back to Momoko and Usagi...
"Well sis, it would appear, that while we have all reunited again. It would seem, that the three of us, were not the only ones that were affected by Aleister Crowley's spell," I said to the both of them, as a bead of sweat became present, and then proceeded to make its way down one side of Keiko's face.
And now that the chapter recap is now done. We will now proceed right into the current chapter.
Date: September 20, 2009
Okay, so getting back to the current situation, and upon taking in a bit more of the current situation...
"Hey, so if you three are here...then who is watching Keiichi?" Shinko now decided to speak up with saying, with a bit of a concerned sounding tone in Keiko's voice.
And upon Shinko having now said this statement in Keiko's voice. Since she was still stuck in Keiko's body. Well, at least for now...
"Well viewers...I sort of forgot about that part...but you know what viewers...I think that it is now once again time, for you all to experience a little bit of comedic timing..." I thought to myself, which during this, I had briefly turned my attention to the right of me, in order to briefly address the viewers.
And sure enough...
In another anime dimension, a young man with dark hair, who was currently alone in an all too familiar looking shrine. Well, that was apart from an out of place robot, that was currently guarding the front door of the shrine. This man suddenly wound up sneezing one time, and he didn't know why.
"And yet I do viewers...Hello there...Keiko here again...*Keiko proceeds to say this, while traditionally bowing to the viewers, before once again bringing Shinko's body, and her attention back up again, in order to continue to address the viewers*...And yes viewers...I am still in Shinko's body...But viewers...I feel as though a short explanation of sorts is in order...for those who don't yet know of this all too familiar anime trope...For you see viewers...under certain circumstances, when an anime character, is talking about another anime character, wherever they might be...it causes the anime character, who is being talked about, to sneeze a single time...As a sort of comedic timing sort of entertainment for the viewers...to let all of you know...that the character is being talked about...And for the record viewers...it happens in anime a lot more often then you think that it does...*Keiko proceeds to say this, while smiling with both of Shinko's eyes closed*...But anyway viewers...I will see you lot in the next chapter...okay?...*Keiko proceeds to say this, while still smiling with both of Shinko's eyes closed, but she is now also tilting Shinko's head to one side, in a very cute looking manner*"
"Okay Keiko...thanks for that explanation I guess...Oh right...Shinko here...still stuck in Keiko's body for the current moment...but viewers...this now marks the end of this particular chapter...But don't worry...as we will be getting right back into the action in the next chapter...And before you all proceed to try and jump down my throat, by assuming that the next might be yet another non action filler sort of chapter...then your assumptions, are badly askew...But anyway viewers...see you all in the next chapter...okay?...*I proceed to say this, while smiling with both of Keiko's eyes closed*"
