Warning for mild spoilers for the game's central storyline (chapter 4 onward).

The fic, titled "Jade and floyd x short reader", belongs to nekoray1998 and they're welcome to keep or do anything they want with it.



Mostro Lounge

"Hey hey~ little shrimp please come play with me~" my eyes twitch as Floyd kept pestering me when I was working. I help azul, jade and floyed at the monstro lounge during my free time, my job is to make the drinks and when I can wait on people. "Floyd for the last time NO, I'm busy working" I say while glaring at floyed, he just looks at me with a bored expression with a pout. "Awwww come on little shrimp~ all you do is work, and when you don't come here your either studying. It's so boring!".

"Mistress Mary Sue, I regret to inform you that your paragraphing and punctuation leaves much to be desired," Inasuke, now in Heartslabyul dorm dress, spoke in keigo in the most pompous voice he could manage, all while keeping his head tilted slightly upward and stroking floyed in his lap as though it was a chihuahua. "Your characterisation of Floyd Leech is also mildly suspect; I believe he is known for being highly fickle and losing interest quickly, not for being a persistent annoyer, and will not engage with people he thinks are boring. Shigisawa-sempai, did I charge with enough style?"

"You did… good," Momoka said, forcing a smile. In disguise as an Octavinelle student, she too chihuahua-stroked monstro lounge the mini-Overblotting Azul. Unlike floyed, the ugly octopoid creature was clearly unamused by the contact, flailing its eight legs in every which direction. "Though… I think it'll be better if you don't use the ore pronoun."

She then realized the advice was futile. Inasuke had stated he found the first-person pronoun boku cuter, but ultimately refused to use the same pronoun as Kaguya. This time was no different; Inasuke did not request this "lesson" from Momoka because he simply wanted to carry himself with more poise and grace. She at first hesitated at the prospect of helping Inasuke defeat her master, but could not bring herself to turn him down once he'd pled with her with those twinkling, innocent blue eyes.

Unlike the missions the two had had before, this time Momoka was not in the mood for chatter and giggles. She took another sip of peach soda, then proceeded to silently watch Inasuke act adorably hammy.

Both jade and Floyd laugh, "no it wasent me~ jade did you do this to little shrimp~?" "No certainly not me". I pinch my nose and sigh hard, this is not the first time that the leech twins pulls pranks on me. I try my best to reach the bottle, it shucks being 4'10 feet tall.

"Ah, something is quite off with Jade. He is, to the best of my knowledge, not a prankster, and is more polite and less annoying than this." Inasuke paused for another bite of tiramisù, then continued, "Hmm, still not quite as cool as you. I mean, sempai is class and elegance personified. You're straight-up handsome in that male disguise, you're pretty much born to wear full black tie, and your demeanour is on another level. But don't worry, with sempai's help, I'll get in Pennacook Club and show up Bakaguya in no time."

Momoka squeezed her fist around a silver spoon to the point of bending it.


Sports Field

Clad in their respective dorms' sports uniform, the agents, like the class around them, engaged in individual exercise on the vast, grassy sports field. Momoka could not answer Inasuke's query on how to jog in a "gentlemanly" way, but this did not stop him from trying. Head held high, hands together in front of his chest, he looked absolutely ridiculous – but still better than the Leeches before them, whose movements had been rendered jittery and deranged from bad prose.

Leona groaned and looked at the twins, "you woke me up for this?" He asked clearly annoyed. "Certainly, we need your keen eye to see who wins" jade said calmly while his brother who usally gets bored is pretty hyped, "yeah! Yeah! To see who wins, which will be us!". I rolled my eyes at them, there's no way they can beat me, I was a champ back in highschool when we had to do those awful mile runs, this will be a breeze!!

"Oh my, that's outrageous! You shall be charged for lumping the Leeches into the same class, and placing Leona in the wrong class and wrong year!" Inasuke said between heavy breaths as he resumed the hammy act again, this time not forgetting to flick his hair. floyeds stared at him bemusedly, then went off to play with floyed and monstro lounge. "How was that, Shigisawa-sempai? Did I do it stylishly enough?"

Instead of answering, Momoka asked, "Why do you hate Kaguya-sama? Why do you want to beat him that much?"

"It's for the same reason I have a beef with Kalim," Inasuke replied. "Spoiled, pampered botchan in their ivory towers, never suffering a day in their lives, never experiencing things normal people do, yet they sit nice and comfortable above everyone else, while the common people trudge in mud and wait on them hand and foot. Those people deserve to be brought down a peg or two. Not that this excuses the severity of what Jamil does to Kalim, but don't you think he deserves some punishment?"

"Even if Jamil's life has been hard because of Kalim, it's not like he makes it so on purpose," Momoka said, then gestured at the Octavinelle canons engaging in poorly written antics with the Sue before them. "Unlike Azul and the Leeches, he hasn't acquired his wealth from oppressive business contracts or pressured people into working for him. He's genuinely nice and friendly, he's willing to shell out big cash to make people happy, even if he's clueless to Jamil's frustration."

Inasuke didn't back down. "Isn't he partially based on Princess Jasmine? Then why doesn't he, you know, act like her? Try to give up his coddled life and live among the common folk, for starters? Heaven creates no man above man, nor man below man; I don't care how nice you act, if you're a botchan, living all spoiled and sheltered and making someone else put their life on hold just to wait on you and defer to you on the tiniest little thing, then it makes no difference."

Momoka didn't answer, knowing continuing to argue with him was pointless. Inasuke strolled forward in that "gentlemanly" gait toward the canons and the Sue, then announced, "On orders of the Protectors of the Plot Continuum, we charge you with portraying the Leeches poorly, namely making Floyd persistent and Jade immature; creating a banal narrative; replacing the canonical Prefect of Ramshackle Dorm; putting canon characters into the wrong classes and wrong years; having no concept of paragraphing and punctuation; creating minis; and being a Mary Sue. For this, we have an appropriate punishment for you."


Thanks to the doorway connecting RC 381 and 🤘, Inasuke was already nowhere to be seen when the agents returned. All that was left was a despondent Momoka sitting on the tatami, staring blankly forward.

Someone in kimono approached her, at which point she said, "Punish me, for I'm a traitor."
