UKYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

[It was just another day in the Bastion, helping make preparations for assisting the Ura that were in dire straits. But then, during lunch, Ibuki's cry of disbelief and amusement rang out loud and clear]

[Because she used the monument to create "magical jerky cows", and renovated one of the new buildings on the Bastion into a music venue.]

[... after her initial cry, Ibuki can be found in front of iBooty Shuffle, leaning against one of the chocolate jerky cows and...]

[... just... laughing. That's all she's doing. Laughing]

[bulletofhope]

Ah... wait, you don't have to--

[ And well. Now he's being poked by hair horns. What... even happened here, Naegi's not sure how this happened... ]

I... I see...

[ . . . what does she use on her hair, though? It's actually softer than he was anticipating... ]

[scary_music]

Oh, but, but, you weren't there for the meeting, were you, Makoto-chan?

The Urara-chans! Their crops, a terrible thing was happening with their crops! So we're sending them food and stuff! And, and... well, we're building stuff so we can have more food, in case they move here or we need to send them more food or... well, well, Ibuki's no good at political stuff, so she's not really sure of what much of anything is going on, except that we need to stockpile more food just in case???

[bulletofhope]

. . . wait, we found more survivors other than ourselves?

[ Don't get Naegi wrong, he does catch the entire bit of information that Ibuki just gave him, but...

Other survivors besides themselves? That's kinda awesome! ]

[scary_music]

Well, well, apparently they've been known about for a looooooong time? Ibuki had no clue about them, either, until the meeting!

There's like... a bunch of political stuff involved, too, and then, suddenly, doki dokis were flying between Zuko-chan and Aoi-chan! But Aoi-chan did the tsundere thing when Ibuki called them out on it, and Ibuki had to flee!

[... that last bit might be totally unrelated to the subject at hand]

[bulletofhope]

Huh. That's... actually pretty good. That would mean that there's other settlements out there, right? Which means we might be able to see our friends again!

[ Naegi can't help but grin, but then he pauses as Ibuki mentions that last bit... ]

... huh. I didn't know that! You think they like each other like that, or...?

[scary_music]

Makoto-chan, have you seen the mysterious phone out by the mountains? That's a direct line to another settle-place, too! So many people out there! Amazing, right?

And, and yeah! They're totally into each other! Zuko-chan was like, "Uwoah! I think Aoi-chan should go on the diplomatic mission" and then she was all like blush blush! And then Aoi-chan was like, was like totally tsun when Ibuki commented about the lilies being in bloom!

[bulletofhope]

Wait, really? That's... huh. I don't think I've been out there yet, actually...

[ He'll have to look into this yet... ]

. . . oh, wow. That's actually kinda cute...

Hmm...

[scary_music]

Oh, but, but the number! You need the number to be able to call Zero-chan! Okay, here it is Makoto-chan! It's Z-03-478! But Zero-chan said there wouldn't always be somebody to answer the phone, so be warned!

And yeah, it was totally cute! They're totally a thing, Ibuki's sure of it! They just need a push to become official!

[bulletofhope]

Z-03-478... got it. I'll keep that in mind for just in case!

[ Naegi nods at that, committing the number to memory before he tilts his head, pausing for a moment before he suddenly gets an idea.

It doesn't occur to him that maybe he should have thought this one through before he says it, though. ]

Well, if that's all they need, what if we helped them along, like secret matchmakers?

[scary_music]

Hmmmmm...

Secret matchmakers! Like something out of a comedy romance!

Brilliant, Makoto-chan!

[bulletofhope]

Yeah! It would work out, right...?

[ . . . actually, Naegi's only realizing just how ridiculous of an idea he just gave, and pauses. ]

... right?

[scary_music]

Ibuki's already blown her cover, so it's your duty to fulfill, Makoto-chan!

Ibuki will be cheering for you!

[bulletofhope]

Eh? Me?

[ Naegi points at himself, sighing. Since when was he the empathic matchmaking guru here... ]

Well, I can try...

[ He probably won't unless Asahina brings it up herself, though. ]

[scary_music]

You can do it, Makoto-chan! Ibuki believes in you!

[bulletofhope]

Thanks...

I'll try my best. Whatever happens now, it'll be okay. I know it...

[scary_music]

Ukyaaaaaaa~!

Amazing! Now even Ibuki feels pumped up, even if you didn't mean that for her!

[bulletofhope]

Really? Huh... how pumped are you now?

[scary_music]

How... how pumped is Ibuki?!?!?

Ibuki has no clue!!

[she grabs Makoto's arm...]

Can you, Makoto-chan? Can you tell how pumped Ibuki is?! Is she totally psyched?!

Does Makoto's ahoge have a special pump meter?!

[... and then she releases Makoto's arm, so that she can grab the ahoge delicately before moving it up and down. As if it's a water pump or something]

[bulletofhope]

Ibuki-san, I don't think my hair works like tha-- OW, OW, OW--!

[ Naegi winces, grabbing at Ibuki's hands and swatting it away. ]

Would you stop? I can tell you're really pumped, but my hair didn't need that--!

[scary_music]

Uwoah... your ahoge is that sensitive? Ibuki was being gentle! Or, or, are you just being dramatic for drama sake?

[She releases Makoto's hair]

[bulletofhope]

Well, if you pulled on it too hard that'd hurt! How would you feel if I tugged on your horns?

[ Naegi does have a point... ]

[scary_music]

Ibuki has lots of practice playing with hair! She knows better, and you should show more faith in somebody with fluffy hair like Ibuki's!

Hair abuse is wrong!

[bulletofhope]

Well, I can't really argue with that...

[ Hair abuse is wrong and immoral. If you know anyone who is abusing some poor hair you're urged to call Crimestoppers.

End the vicious cycle. ]

... really? Whose hair have you played with, besides your own?

[scary_music]

Yours!

...

And a few of her old band-mates, from the school she was at before she ended up at a certain terrible one that gives Ibuki no sense of hope thinking about!

[bulletofhope]

... oh.

[ Well, THAT got awkward quickly. Time to change the subject! ]

. . . to the iBooty Shuffle?
