Chapter 75: Nice Karen

(Ryoto's pov)

Karen: "Yes, darling, what can I do for you?"

I must be dreaming. It's not possible for Karen to call me 'darling'. I wouldn't call myself a darling. I don't think even Lala called me that.

Wait, *breath in* *breath out*. You can't panic. Remember what Koro-sensei taught you, big boobs are-. I mean, panic leads to failure. Analyze the situation calmly.

'Why did you call me 'darling'?'

I needed to establish why she does it first.

Karen: "Don't make me say it... dummy."

Karen answered bashfully.

Yep, it's not real. Not possible. Karen is not tsundere. Nah ah, I don't believe it.

I pinched myself, but it didn't do anything.

If I'm not enough to wake me up, I'll ask someone else.

I walked up to Rio.

Ryoto: "Rio, punch me."

Rio: "Huh!?"

She looked at me as if I had lost my brain cells.

Ryoto: "Punch me, preferably in the face. I want to test somethin-"

Before I could finish speaking with Rio, I was punched by Karma.

(A/N Before someone asks how he was punched even though Ryoto has spider-sense. It doesn't warn him about people he considers friends. Karma is the closest male friend, so obviously, it didn't work.

Now that I think about it, I don't remember if it did work like this when Harty Osborn was a Green Goblin. It did work like this for Peter's professor. Venom, or symbiote, to be precise, is a special case since he was kind of part of Peter. If I'm wrong, please correct me.)

Karma: "Huh, so you still can be punched quite easily. Because of yesterday, I started to think that you were invincible, but it seems you are still human enough to be punched by me."

Karma was saying something to me, but I was still lying on the ground. I didn't plan to defend myself, so I was sent flying by Karma easily. Besides, he was not the one who I wanted to punch me... It sounds wrong. I should stop now.

Karen: "..."

'Karen?'

Karen: "..."

Did she leave?

I got up and looked around. Karma was holding in his laugh, and so did Rio. Kaede had a strained smile. Something was not right.

Ryoto: "What did you do, Karma?"

Karma: "Why did you ask me? It could be anyone."

Questioning him would be useless, so I just opened my eyes and looked at myself through his eyes.

I saw my face that was massacred, for the lack of a better word.

Ryoto: "Karma, my dear friend. What is the meaning of this."

I pointed to my face.

Karma: "You're right. I forgot to write a few things. Sorry, I'll correct my mistake."

He took out his marker once more while smiling evilly.

I would normally show him illusions, but I feel like I would lose if I did that, so I'll need to think about how to take my revenge on him.

(Karen's pov)

I hung up on Ryoto. I didn't know how I should react. It was the first time someone said that I was fine the way I am. I just tried to pretend to be friendly, sweet, or whatever. I mean, Sophia does it the whole time, so I tried it. I don't have any proof that she does, but I know it.

Ryoto, he changed a bit since we first met, and so did I. I mean, not a lot, but still. I stopped badmouthing him. I don't even have an urge to do it anymore. I'm badmouthing others, and it still gives me satisfaction but not to Ryoto. Even today, I pretended to be nice, NICE!

I even planned a surprise for his birthday. It's not like me. Not like me at all. I didn't even pretend my happiness. It was fun, and it felt strange.
