Machikado Mazoku 2.12: Citrus Panic

We’re at the home stretch and it looks like we’ll wrap things continuing the deep dive into Mikan’s character arc.

As we recall last time Mikan said she’d transfer to ShamiMomo’s school. The time had come. Her biggest worry was about her curse affecting her new classmates as she insisted on discussing it during her introduction. Everyone at school being used to our main duo’s shenanigans they welcomed her with open arms.

Momo hiding her jealousy of the mikan fan by claiming Shamiko’s misusing the W Rod again.

Speaking of Momo Sion gave her a new potion from the gem Shamiko “graciously gifted her”. It’s basically to help balance Momo’s qi making it safer to transform into Darkness Peach. Shamiko’s grateful she’d soon be blessed by her favorite yummy tummy once more.

Back to the plot. It’s time for everyone to focus on committee duties. Mikan being the new kid wasn’t in one yet. Lots of amusing ones were suggested. She could even petition one of her own provided it was ethical. Hers wasn’t so no go but she recalled Anri inviting her to join the sports day committee so she did. At first she’s concerned about the unfair advantage magical girls like Momo and her had over other cuties but Anri and the others were just happy to have her around.

Speaking of committees that weren’t ethical here’s Momo’s “surrounded by cats” committee. Used it as a poor excuse to not get involved with others because she’s Momo. They roped her into joining. Shamiko was part of her own committee but because she finished early and she saw her “minions” join Anri’s she graciously offered a helping hand.

Shamiko felt jealous and worried seeing how popular Mikan quickly became. She’s happy for her but sad she wasn’t one of the few who noticed her “specialness” anymore. Anri’s like “Mikan sure has a lot of eyes on her already but you’re already on Team Momo, right?”. Shamiko not really denying it was delightful.

Things were going well until her teammates accidentally botched the tower thing (forgot the name. Not important) and she fell on her head. The curse was about to be unleashed were it not for Momo’s quick thinking. Everyone’s still cool with Mikan but the emotional damage had been done. Now that there were more people besides ShamiMomo she cared for the real possibility of the curse hurting others when Momo wasn’t around scared her.

Shamiko felt bad for not keeping her promise to repay Mikan for helping her before, ashamed her magic outside dreams wasn’t strong enough yet. That’s when she remembered her mention the demon inside. Her plan was to once again employ “Operation Inception” and dive into Mikan’s mind to come to some sort of agreement with the so-called “Ugallu”. Momo came along because “soul mate mental link” and in case Shamiko got in trouble she’d unleash her love rage on the guilty party. I mean as her bodyguard.

Once inside Mikan’s dream and after Momo barely drank the potion Shamiko’s turned on by her kickass dark katana. As if her heart didn’t already have enough reason to fawn over Darkness Peach. It’s off to find Ugallu!

Tune in next time for the G-View.
