[5th Period: Home Economics]

Ruby was wearing a maid outfit and was holding a pumpkin, she was the substitute teacher since the other was ill.

Ruby: Does everyone have their ingredients? Since it's already afternoon, I thought we'd try making some sweets in today's class. And we are making everyone's favourite: Pumpkin Pie! Let's just take things slowly and enjoy ourselves today.

The girls in the classes were excited and prepared themselves.

Ruby: Even though I told you to enjoy yourself, don't start rubbing yourself with the cream… This is no laughing matter! Something that dirty is too hardcore to enjoy at school!

Everyone: 'What kind of play is that!?'

Yukari: It looks like Ruby is enjoying herself, though she's such a masochist wherever and whenever.

Moka: Making sweets… Huh…

Yukari: Are you good at making sweets, Inner Moka?

Moka: I'm not sure… I'm always sealed away… So I've never tried.

Yukari: Eh?

Moka: But I'm always watching the Outer me cook… So I understand most of the basics.

Yukari: Inner…

Moka: Who are you calling 'Inner'? Now then… Shall we start by cutting the pumpkin..?

Moka held a knife with her right hand and the pumpkin with her left while Yukari murmured for herself.

Yukari: Well, Moka is good at cooking… So I guess Inner should also be pretty good…

She turned around and saw killing intent coming out from Moka while she glared at the pumpkin.

Yukari: I-Inner?



Kurumu: Yahoo! It's here! The time for me to shine is here!! I'm the best at making sweets! I'm so good that I have my original recipes published in the newspaper! That and my breasts are two things that I'd definitely not lose to Inner Moka!

Even though their love interest were completely different, there was a sense of rivalry since they met each other for the first time.

Mizore: But you'd lose in everything else…

Kurumu: This… Yu-Yukari!?

She turned around and saw Yukari with a frightened face and tears coming out from her eyes, while her uniform was full of cuts and sat powerlessly in the ground.

Kurumu: What happened!? Who did this to you…

Yukari: Never point cutlery at yourself… Or other people…

Kurumu: Yukari!!

Moka: Hmm… Pumpkins are unexpectedly hard… I guess I underestimated cooking. I guess I should hold it down before cutting it…

Kurumu slowly turned around, and saw Moka holding the pumpkin on her stomach while she tried to drive her kitchen knife inside it, dangerously aimed towards her stomach too.

Moka: Here we are.

Kurumu: That's so dangerous!!

Moka: Hm? What? Is something wrong?

Kurumu: Stop! Stop! Don't push so hard! Are you trying to commit Seppuku!?

Moka slammed her knife on the table, leaving a huge gash.

Moka: Seppuku?


Kurumu: Gyaaaa!!!

She immediately stepped back and turned back to Mizore.

Kurumu: Mi… Mizore.

Mizore: Yeah… There's no mistaking it. At last…

Kurumu: We found something that she isn't able to do.

They reached Ruby and asked while pointing at Moka, who looked as if she was trying to kill the person she hated the most.

Kurumu: ...And so, what should we do, Ruby?

Ruby: Ehh?

Yukari walked near them, attracting all three's attention, then they pushed Yukari at Moka.

Ruby: How about we leave things here to Yukari?

Kurumu: You're right! You can teach her how to cook.

Yukari: YOU GUYS ARE SO MEAN!! I DON'T WANT TO DIE YET!!!

When they pushed back Yukari at Moka, they stepped back while Ruby said.

Ruby: And I'll give you a hint: The secret behind making sweets is 'following the recipe'... The process, the measurements, the temperature, and the time. In order to avoid unnecessary steps, please follow everything according to recipe.

And the last thing is love. Think of the 'Person who you want to give it to' and put your heart in to making it.

Moka: 'Person who I want to give it to…? Well, I'm going to hunt some meat…'

Then everyone watched Moka taking the knife and leaving the room while releasing the same presence that would an insane butcherer.

[Meanwhile]

At the dodgeball field, Gabriel was alone against 5 other people, Tsukune was just eliminated and got to the seats.

Tsukune: Gabriel.

Gabriel: Yes?

Tsukune: ...Don't kill them.

Gabriel: Alright.

A ball flew at Gabriel, who easily grabbed it, eliminating the thrower, however, before he could leave the field, Gabriel hammered the ball on his back, flinging him back to his seat, unconscious, while the ball bounced on another one's face, making his nose bleed and fall unconscious too.

[Back]

Everything was red and black… The kitchen was going on fire, Kurumu was on the ground unconscious, she had tears coming from her eyes and blood trailing from her mouth.

Ruby was over some water and her uniform was completely stained in many different colors.

Mizore was hanging near her, with half of her body inside a trash while her booty was on air.

Yukari was stuck in a wall full of cracks, her uniform was almost non-existent and blood came from her body.

Staff members: This is terrible!! The cooking rooms are on fire!! What in the world happened!? And everything inside is a mess! / Water! Everyone go grab some water! / I've found a survivor!

The staff was rescuing the students from the cooking room while Moka, full of dust and burned parts, was stumbling away while holding a box.

Moka: No… Way… Why did this happen… Why…

She accidentally crashed on Fangfang, but Moka ignored him and continued to walk to the roof.

Fangfang: Ahh… Huh? Moka? …!

He heard something coming from the chain on her neck.

Fangfang: 'Huh? Did I just hear a slight creaking noise from Moka's choker…?'

Some time later, Moka reached the room and watched the sun going down.

Moka: Sunset… I guess it's time for me to return my body to her…

She looked at the box that was holding, which contained something that looked like charcoal, and prepared to throw it away, but she didn't notice Gabriel just arriving behind her.

Gabriel: Hey there.

He put an hand on her shoulder, stopping her from throwing it, Moka turned around and saw Gabriel's smiling face.

Moka: ...Gabriel!

Gabriel: Well, I heard what happened before, so I've been looking for you, Moka.

Moka looked ashamed and showed him what she cooked.

Moka: ...It's a joke, right? Look. I even had a lot of help from the others and this is all I could make.

Gabriel looked at it and saw only meatball-shaped charcoal, he raised an eyebrow because he could smell something good from them even though they look like shit.

Moka: It's like charcoal, right? I guess the only thing I can really do is fight… And today was my only chance… Well, I was planning on giving you some meatballs once they were done baking, Gabriel.

She raised her eyes and just saw Gabriel swallowing an entire meatball.

Moka: Wha… You idiot! As if someone would eat that!? No matter how you look at it, it's just charcoal!

Gabriel: ...It's actually good.

Moka: Are you alright!? Hurry up and spit it out. I'll go get you so- Wait what?

Gabriel: This shit is really good!

He took another meatball before he used his Nen to slowly destroying the burned layer on the meatballs, revealing a well-cooked layer, shocking Moka.

Gabriel: Only outside was completely burned, inside it is even tastier than the normal meat that I eat at the cafeteria.

Moka: ...I… I see… That's good…

Gabriel raised his face, and saw something really unexpected, she was slightly blushing and looking at him with a Outer Moka-type sweet face.

Gabriel: Moka… *Sigh* Well, it's time to say bye…

Moka: You are right, it would be rude making Outer wait.

Gabriel gave Moka her rosario, who put it back on the chain.

Moka: I had plenty of fun today. And you can tell the outer me: "Thank you for lending me the body… Today…"

Gabriel: Well, I guess that will need to wait.

Moka: Huh?

She opened her eyes and realized that nothing changed, she was still on her body.

Moka: This is strange… I didn't switch places with the outer one… The rosary is attached, yet the seal is…

Gabriel was narrowing his eyes and observed the rosario, Moka noticed his sight and and covered her cleavage with a blush on her face.

Moka: I-It's not time for that!

Gabriel: ...It's too weak, the seal is greatly weakening. Do you know something?

Gabriel raised his head and looked behind Moka, where Fangfang and Lingling stood.

Fangfang: So that's why I heard that "Creak" from Moka. It seems like the seal is getting a little unsteady. The greatest weakness of this type of seal is that it's only "Momentarily". At this rate, if you stay like that, the seal will really break.

Moka: What are you talking about?

Fangfang: Akashiya Moka, the seal in your rosary is beginning to break. If you do not repair it soon, you will never able to use it again.

Moka looked worried, but Gabriel had something else in his mind.

Gabriel: Why did you become so reliable?

Fangfang: Hehe, as a matter of fact, we, the Huang family are a family that excel in the usage of the black arts…

Gabriel: 'Don't make any dark joke… Don't make any dark joke about black things… Resist…' Hmm.

Fangfang: And in particular, we specialise in sealing and barrier techniques! Therefore, even someone like me would have an idea about the condition of the seal. So, how about it, Gabriel? Does that make you want to accept my "Invitation"?

Come, join the Huang family! And our family will take responsibility and repair Moka's seal.

Gabriel didn't even answer and turned towards Moka.

Fangfang: Totally ignored!

Moka: At this rate, what will happen to her… To the "Outer" personality that's inside the seal… Outer…

?: 'Did you call me?'

Moka looked frightened to death while she watched her rosary fluctuate and talk to her, while everyone else just watched it moving.

Outer Moka: 'Ah, you can hear me!? That's good… You can finally hear my voice. It looks like something terrible happened…'

Moka: ...O… Outer…!? Is that you, Outer!?

Outer Moka: 'Ahaha, you don't have to look so surprised. Weren't you always talking to me while sealed as well? I just tried it and it worked.'

Gabriel: Wait, she is talking to you?

Moka: Yeah, she said she's fine, so don't worry.

Gabriel sighed in relief, then he started to talk.

Gabriel: Well, let's go to the Headmaster, that son of a bitch owes me for making me work…

Lingling: No… That may not be possible. This is just my analysis, but this seal is terribly complicated. And it has weakened to a state where repairing it will not be simple. This may be too much even for the headmaster.

Gabriel: And where the fuck should we go?

Lingling: To the one who taught your headmaster the sealing techniques. Touhou Fuhai, the same person who founded the Huang family, he was considered to be the world's greatest black arts user, and one of the three great dark rulers.
