Well damn, I fall asleep and suddenly there's 8 answers.
Alright, I guess that's victory for Akiho. Shall we do this shit?

>>468644
DO IT.

>>468644
Lead the way, senpai

>>468644
The shit shall be done

>>468644
Akiho Edamura appears before you. It takes a moment for her to wipe the sleep out of her eyes and stand up, but not long after that she begins to sway and ends up kneeling. You're used to them doing this- your environment is just as full of mindfuckery as you yourself are, so they usually take a few minutes to adjust.

When she's finally able to stand up and look you in the eye, you begin to speak as if you were some kind of god. Well, to them, you may as well be.

"I've been watching over you for a long time, Akiho Edamura."
Though you're not speaking in any human language, it's a language designed to be understood no matter what the origin of the creature.

"You've been the subject of great misfortune. Beaten, humiliated, forced to do this and that... some humans truly are cruel. Thus, I've decided to grant you with a gift."

She tilts her head. "What do you mean?"

"I'd like to grant you a chance to change your life for the better. I can create a world to your liking, based on your one true wish."

Her face lights up in excitement. You resist the urge to do the same. She's buying it so easily-!

"So... this world.... what will it be like?"

"It can be just like the world you're from with a few changes, or you can create it from the ground up. It's up to you."

"Well, I do like the world I came from, so I'll want to keep it like that, but... I want to have someone who can protect me!"

Oh?

Now THIS could be interesting...
Come to think of it, she's never been in a relationship with anyone before, so perhaps this is something she's always secretly wanted. You suppose she was just always too shy to ask anyone.

"I do believe I can work with that..."

But the kind of "protector" she seems to be thinking of sounds a bit too boring for your tastes...

What will her guardian be like?

>>468679
It should be an owl, that protects her by reading the possible futures, and answering questions based on those paths. However, it also warns her of what actions might lead to her death in the most fucked up way possible. So for example, if she's walking down a flight of stars that had just been mopped, it would whisper "Take care, Akiho, if you lose your footing here, you may break your worthless neck and die, or bash your head open and bleed to death, leaving an ugly broken corpse, if you're lucky. There are worse fates. You may just be paralyzed for the rest of your miserable life, unable to do anything but rely on the charity of others."

I like the owl, that sounds really cool

>>468704

Alright, looks like we're going with the owl idea.

I like where this is going.

And so, with a snap of your fingers, the stars in the eyes of the young student begin to fade. To your understanding, the sensation they go through during the creation of a universe is terribly unpleasant.

Essentially, all you're doing is manifesting her impression of the world in a solid form that she can live in. Yet ,she collapses after just a few seconds and continues to twitch with each movement you make through her mind. She opens her mouth, but the words won't come out. She's choking now.

Somewhat pathetic, in your opinion, though you did already know that humans were weak-willed.

You make a few finishing touches to the universe, implement your brilliant plan, and toss her unconscious body through the display. It's time to have some fun...

---

"Eh? Was it all just a dream?" you ask yourself, as you find yourself lying in your bed.

You check your surroundings. It's the same room you've woken up in nearly every morning since you were only seven years old.

You check the clock. It's 6:22, just a few minutes before you'd usually get up to make it to morning activities. You're a member of the art club.

Nothing in this room seems out of place, and yet all the same, it doesn't feel like it should, somehow. Was that really a dream? That strange place felt like something your brain couldn't even come up with.

"Onee-chan, it's morning!"

Ah, there comes your younger brother, crashing through the door to wake you up just a few minutes before your alarm. For some reason, he likes to race the alarm to be the first to awaken you. He doesn't seem to get why it's silly to try to "race" something that always occurs at a fixed time.

Should you just tell him you're awake already, play along and pretend to still be asleep or something else?

>>468735
>just tell him you're awake already

>>468735
Tell him you're awake already, and that he shouldnt just be barging into your room. You are 16, after all.

>>468735
Play along and pretend to be asleep, no need to have him come in even earlier and actually disrupt our sleep tomorrow.

>>468740
>>468741
"You're too late. The alarm beat you," you tell your younger brother, facing away from him.

You turn to see his face, and he look legitimately shocked. Then, he turns towards the alarm clock and growls, "This isn't over yet!"

You can never tell if he's playing around or if he's just an idiot.

"I'm joking, Haru-kun. I had a dream, and that woke me up."

"A new competitor joins the ranks!" he cries.

"Calm down, please. You shouldn't just be barging into my room like that. I'm 16 now, you know!"

"B-but I can't lose! I can't!" He seems really insistent on being the one to wake you up.

"Well, if you do it again, you'll lose more than just a race..." you reply, in a bit of a deeper tone than you're used to.

His face freezes. That seemed to shut him up.
You stand up, ruffle his hair as you walk past him, and head to the bathroom to start getting ready.

However, while washing your face, you hear an unfamiliar voice cry out from behind you. "CAREFUL!"

The shock of the shout causes you to gasp and inhale some water. You collapse backwards in a coughing fit. The annoyingly high pitched voice continues.

"See what I mean?! If you aren't careful when washing your face, you'll inhale too much water, your lungs will fill up, you'll choke on it, and you'll keep on coughing until you shrivel up into a disgusting purple heap from lack of oxygen!"

What's going on? You barely manage to spit up all the water you sucked in, then stand up to look at the stranger. In the mirror, you see, of all things, the face of an owl. "Ehh?!"

You turn towards where the owl, should be, but it isn't there. "Ehhhh!?!?"

You turn back towards the mirror, and it's there again. "Eh-"

"Go any louder, and you could violently tear out your vocal chords."

The owl spoke. It spoke. Heeding its advice, you only scream internally. "Wh-who are you?"

"Whooooo are you? Who who? Who who?" the owl begins to sing, in English.

When you tilt your head in confusion, it gives up and continues, "Ah, why do I even bother. It's not like a girl like you has appreciation for any real music."

"Th-that's not important! Who are you, and why are you in my house!?"

The owl begins to look annoyed.

"Isn't it obvious? I'm your guardian! I'm here to give you sage advice on anything you need me for. With me by your side, you'll always be protected!"

It takes you a second to put two and two together, but when you do, you mumble to yourself, "It... wasn't a dream?"

"Huh? Speak up! If you were to be this quiet at gunpoint, they wouldn't even be able to hear your pleads to spare your miserable life!"

The owl speaks of an absurd situation that has nothing to do with the current moment.

"Or, if you want an example more believable, think of what would happen if you protested so quietly when Izumi, Maya, and Kyoko were trying to force you into, say... prostitution? That's something that could happen!"

cont...

>>468771
Though the owl spoke of them casually, using their first names with no honorifics, you'd recognize those names anywhere. You immediately shrink back. "Y-you know about them...?"

"Of course I do," the owl replies. "I'm your guardian, so of course I have to know you inside and out. Don't believe me? Well, your three sizes are-"

"Please stop!" you cry. "I believe you!"

The owl lets out a little chuckle, then continues.
"Well, naturally I need to know who those girls are, since they're the ones that are the biggest obstacle in the way of a peaceful life! They're why you asked for guardians in the first place, are they not?"

It's true. Ever since those three girls caught you engaging in some... unpleasant deeds, they've been blackmailing you into doing whatever they want, with the alternative being getting expelled and shunned.

If this owl can do something about even them, then maybe this won't be so bad after all...? Maybe you should have just left the wish at "I want those girls to leave me alone," but you can still make things work like this.

"Ah, and, excuse my manners. You know this already, but I'm Akiho Edamura." You bow to where the owl should be hovering, even though you can't see him. "It's a pleasure to meet you."

"Uh, I'm over here," the owl corrects you.

You look back towards the mirror. "Oh... are you actually in there?"

"Well yeah," he answers, "it's the best view of your face I can get."

He flies towards the mirror, and upon coming into contact with it, strangely, the surface of the mirror ripples, and he splashes out the other side. Now he's on your side of the mirror, but again has no reflection. "Eh....."
You can hardly handle all the mysterious happenings today, but you suppose that's what happens when you make a wish.

"By the way, I don't have a name yet. Since I'm your guardian, do you want to do the honors! Come on, name me!"

>>468776
Ryuk

>>468781
"How about... Ryuk?" You ask, forgetting exactly where you heard the name, but thinking it suits him.

"No. How about Teru? I like Teru. Let's go with that."

Well then, what was even the point of asking you? You don't voice these complains, though.

"That works, I suppose. So, can you let me get ready for school in peace, please?"

"As long as you don't do anything that could get you killed."

As soon as you return to washing your face, he cries, "WATCH OUT!"

In shock, you fall backwards again, and are knocked unconscious by the impact against the ground.

Going for a bit, but I'll be back in a couple hours.

Well, that turned out to not be a very accurate prediction. Anyways, getting back into things here.

You awaken in a white room, in a bed that's not your own. It doesn't take you too long to realize that you've been hospitalized.

Teru is perched upon one of the bedposts. Ah, so that wasn't a dream. How unfortunate. On the plus side, you suppose this means you don't have to go to school today.

"Ah, you're awake. I swear, didn't I tell you not to do anything that could get you killed? You failed that nearly instantly! Now I know you DEFINITELY need me by your side, you thick-skulled schoolgirl! Oh, but I guess you're lucky it's so thick. That's what saved you!"

Before you get the chance to counter Teru's relentless teasing, the three faces you thought you were free of for the day begin to enter.

Izumi Aikawa, Maya Hanazawa, and Kyoko Kamibayashi.

Though you had been relieved by the prospect of not having to see them before, you find yourself not at all disappointed by their arrival. After all, you're used to them showing up when you least expect or desire them to, so you've shut off your sense of disappointment in that regard. You should have known they'd come during visiting hours.

Yet, none of them seem to notice Teru. You're not surprised in that regard, either- if he's even real, it makes sense that he'd only show himself to you. All the same, you get the feeling you're going to have a bad time.

cont...

Kamibayashi-san speaks first. "Ah, look, it's Aki-chan! We heard you injured your head, so we came to wish you well. What happened? Did you study so hard for exams that your brain overheated and blew a gasket?"

The two girls behind her giggle with their hands to their mouths. Those smug expressions are the bane of your existence.

And, here's the spark that ignites the aforementioned "bad time."

"Don't take that shit! Come up with a witty comeback! Don't let them win! Stand up for yourself!"

Teru starts yelling at you rapidfire to say something back to them, which only leaves you more speechless.

Hanazawa-san finally speaks up. "Why so pale? Is that really what happened? Oh, was it something worse?"

"Come on! If you keep taking it, they'll keep abusing you!" Quiet, Teru.

Aikawa-san takes her turn. "Maybe things were getting too intense in bed, and she slammed her head on the nightstand! That's our slut-chan!" Her and Hanazawa-san start laughing their heads off.

"You could be forced to do their dirty work! They could force you to date some creepy otaku in his thirties for cash!" Quiet, Teru!

Kamibayashi-san reigns them in. "Come on, girls, don't be silly. We know Aki-chan wouldn't do that." The other two stare at her confusedly.

"They might feel like beating you up, and forcing you to tell everyone it was an accident!" QUIET, TERU!

"She's more the type to beg on the floor! She wouldn't even be allowed on the bed, that little masochist!" All three of them completely lose it.

"They might make you break into someone's house, and steal something! Then what? The cops get ahold of you, and you've got 20 years jail time!" THAT'S ENOUGH!

You've gotta find some way to deal with this situation! You're used to this teasing, but all of Teru's insane warnings are giving you a migraine on top of the usual pangs of loathing! But since they can't see him, you can't just yell at him to stop, and who knows what'll happen if you tell those three to shut up... What should you do?

>>472761
its cute that you all think we are that close that you think you can just tel me all the dirtty things you all get up to together but plz i dont need to hear all about your fetashes right now im trying to get better not get worse
