Chapter 21: (17) a sleepover at momo’s! the original Henry stickman is a vestige?!!! (Henry pov)
(UA after school,Friday)
I had to admit, while this school was a fun place, I still kept getting lost! Like for example when I was away from the rest of my classmates to find a Library, I was going in circles by the time a senior have me assistance.
She was energetic and asked questions like a machine gun, and after getting to know her i realized her name was Nejire Hado, one of the big three in UA.
"It was nice meeting you Henry, if you want you can hang out with me and my friends, I think you would fit right in." She said with a smile as she walked away leaving me even more lost.
It wasn't until I got with with an explosion and meeting the baby maker Mei Hatsume did I finally get a map of the place.
Now this was only on the second day of school, right now I'm waiting for Toga to finish drinking my blood in the infirmary with recovery girl.
"Okay I'm done Hen-Chan!" She said as she wiped her mouth with a paper towel as recovery girl kissed my hand healing the bite before handing me a candy bar.
"Principal nezu told me about both of you and your case, and all I can say is I'm rooting for you young lady." She said with a smile before asking us to leave so she can get ready for dinner with Charles and General Gale.
As we were walking I pat toga on the head with a smile, "see toga, I'm not the only one rooting for you." I say as she blushes before looking ahead.
Confused I follow her gaze and I see Momo leaning on a wall before noticing us, "about time you showed up, I almost thought you left already." She said with a pout as she walks towards us.
"Hey Mo-Chan!! Are you wanting to walk with us?" Toga asked with a smile as I chuckle at the sight, I'm glad that Toga finally has friends.
"Actually…I was wondering if you both would like to sleepover at my house for the weekend, my mother wants to speak to you most of all Henry." Momo says with a slight blush as Toga and I look at each other for a few seconds.
"Well Toga, do you want to go?" I ask her as she nods her head rapidly, "Of course I want to go! It'll be my first sleepover." She said with the happiest smile on her face.
"Great!! I'll call my driver and we can head over to my home." Momo said with a smile as she reached into her book bag before pulling out a new phone and calling someone.
"Frederick, I'm ready to go home, and tell my mother I'm bringing special guests with me." Momo said before saying goodbye, putting her phone away.
"Alright he is on the way, let's head on down the hill." Momo suggests as we start walking down to the gate entrance.
We were talking about our hobbies with Momo while walking down the hill, apparently she like to paint and has a room just for painting.
We make our way to the bottom when a black Rolls-Royce drove up and a middle aged man in a chauffeur outfit came out the driver side and bowed to us.
"Apologies lady Momo, this was the only car we had on hand, the usual car is getting maintenance." The man said as she nods and enters the car.
"Young man, I'll have you sit in the passenger side with me." The driver said as he opens the door for Toga and I get in the passenger side.
The interior of the car was nice, there was a partition in the car, and like that we got on our way to Momo's home.
I sat there watching the scenery of the city pass me by before I hear the driver talk, "I'll be blunt with you, we're you the one who helped lady Momo?" The driver asks as I realize what he meant.
"Does she still have my blazer?" I ask back as I thought if I said I did outright he would be suspicious about it, thankfully he smiled at my response.
"So it really was you, we'll let me be the first one to extend thanks young man, it turns out the people you saved lady Momo from were a band of serial killers called the freaky five. But you can talk about that with mistress Mira." He said as I see a gigantic mansion in the distance.
(It was never explicitly said what Momo's mother was named so I chose the name of the stepmom from master piece(hanime)-thelostswordsman)
The gates opened up after the guard stationed saw the driver and when we all got out I saw an incredibly beautiful woman in front of the door.
She had beautiful orange blond hair, a figure that would make men and women alike stare, and a smile that would light a room in an instant.
"Welcome home Momo! Are these the friends you told me about?" The woman asked as she looked at Toga then myself as If appraising a fine piece of art.
"Yes mother, these are my friends Himeko Toga and Henry Stickman." Momo says as a maid escorts us to the main foyer, "wow this place is humongous!!" I hear Toga say as Momo's mom asked a maid to show toga around.
And after they left Momo's mom turns towards me as I feel twelve people hidden from sight but they weren't hostile as far as I could tell.
A few seconds pass before Momo's mom spoke, "I was told by our family chauffeur that you were the one who saved my little girl." She began before bowing, "for that as the yaoyoruzu matriarch I thank you." She says as I was flustered, I didn't think it was that big of a deal.
"Please raise your head ma'am! It isn't that big of a deal, I did what anyone should do." I say as she looks at me with an appraising glare before smiling.
"You truly are humble mister Stickman, but honestly I'm glad my little girl finally made some friends that she can count on, in fact last night a maid heard Momo repeatedly saying your name while sniffing a blazer she refuses to wash.
"MOTHEEEERRR!!!!" Momo shouts while flailing her arms looking incredibly embarrassed as she just laughed.
"Anyways dinner will be done in an hour, so you all enjoy each other's company." She said before walking up a set of winding stairs.
And like that hours pass by and before we know it I was sleeping in a guest room with Toga while momo slept in her room across the hall.
It turns out Toga asked Momo's mother to let her sleep with me explaining that she gets lonely when I'm not around and that she was used to sleeping next to me.
And as I drift to sleep I open my eyes again to the void.
"Well it's about time you showed up." I hear as I turn around and I see someone who looks like me, "who are you?" I ask him as he chuckled.
"Who am I? I am you." (???)
"No I'm me, who are you?" (Henry)
"I am you."(???)
"I'm telling you I am me! Who are you?!" (Henry)
(I'll be surprised if anyone can guess this reference)
After some more back and forth the figure just sighs while pinching the bridge of his nose.
"No kid listen to me, I'm not you, I am the original Henry stickmin."
