Jikirukuto: Takoyuki Arc

The gymnasium buzzed with anticipation as Yuki stumbled onto the stage, panting like she'd just outrun a horde of zombies—which, in her mind, wasn't far from the truth. The microphone crackled to life as she gripped it with sweaty hands, eyes darting around like a deer caught in headlights. And then… something snapped.

With a deep breath, she slammed the mic stand down like a battle flag and bellowed, "WHAT'S UP, MOTHERFU—uh…FRIENDS?! Surprise, it's me, your new overlord! I mean, uh, classmate!"

The entire gym went silent. Somewhere in the back, a cough echoed like a death knell.

First Personality: Loud and Unfiltered Idol Energy

"Hey, hey, hey! Let's get one thing straight," she continued, leaning dramatically over the podium like she was about to confess her undying love. "I didn't ask to be here. But since fate dragged me into this chaos, I'm TAKING OVER! You're all my minions now! Kneel!" She struck an idol pose, complete with finger guns.

No one moved. She adjusted her hair, muttering, "Tough crowd. Guess you all rolled low charisma stats this morning, huh?"

Second Personality: Overly Cute But Questionable Energy

Her voice suddenly shifted to a sugary-sweet tone. "Nyaa~! It's okay, senpais~! I'll be your guide through this dungeon we call high school! Uwu~!" She made cat ears with her hands, tilting her head.

The crowd collectively recoiled, visibly cringing.

"Not into that? Fine. Let's crank it up a notch!"

Third Personality: Aggressively Relatable Meme Lord

Yuki stood tall, puffing out her chest like a pro wrestler hyping up a fight. "Raise your hand if you didn't eat breakfast this morning because you were too busy panicking about life!" Half the room raised their hands.

"Hell yeah, that's the spirit!" she shouted, pumping her fist. "Now raise your hand if you think the school Wi-Fi is already trash!" The entire room raised their hands this time, and a roar of agreement followed.

Yuki leaned into the mic, smirking. "We're all doomed. But hey, at least we're doomed together, right? Squad goals!"

Fourth Personality: Slightly Unhinged Gamer Mode

She crouched behind the podium like she was hiding in a battle royale game. "Listen up, noobs! This school is basically Dark Souls. The teachers are the bosses, the cafeteria food is poison damage, and the homework? That's straight-up permadeath. So git gud or git out!"

One brave student yelled, "What about the principal?!"

Yuki popped up like a Whack-a-Mole, eyes wide. "The principal?! Oh, they're the secret final boss. Don't look them in the eyes, or you'll get insta-killed. Trust me, I've seen things."

Fifth Personality: Sudden Wholesome 180

Out of nowhere, she clasped her hands together, her voice soft and angelic. "But seriously, you guys are amazing. Like, look at you! You've got your uniforms on (mostly), you showed up on time (kinda), and you're breathing (hopefully). That's already a win in my book!" She sniffled dramatically, wiping a fake tear. "You're all my precious little pogchamps~!"

The audience stared at her, unsure whether to laugh or call a therapist.

Sixth Personality: Chaotic Song and Dance

Without warning, Yuki grabbed the mic stand like a guitar and belted out an improvised song.

🎵 "High school is hell, but we'll do our best~! Or we'll fail spectacularly and end up stressed~! La la la~!" 🎵

She then started breakdancing—poorly.

Seventh Personality: Savage Roast Queen

A student in the front row muttered, "What is she even doing?"

Yuki immediately zeroed in on him. "Oh, I'm sorry, did I interrupt your nap time? Maybe I should step aside so you can do a better job, huh? No? That's what I thought. Sit down, Timothy."

His name wasn't even Timothy.

Eighth Personality: Fourth Wall Demolition

She turned to an imaginary camera, suddenly adopting the tone of a livestreamer. "Yo, what's up, chat? Today we're doing a speedrun of 'How to Humiliate Yourself in Front of Your Entire School.' Any% run, let's go!" She mimed clicking a mouse.

Then she looked back at the crowd. "Oh, you didn't know? You're all NPCs in my stream now. Say hi to my two viewers and the random bot spamming weird links in chat!"

Final Personality: The Big Finish

Yuki took a deep breath, staring out at the sea of stunned faces. "Alright, real talk. High school's gonna be tough. But you know what? So are we. We're gonna make mistakes, fall on our faces, and probably embarrass ourselves a lot. But that's okay. Because at the end of the day, it's not about being perfect. It's about surviving long enough to laugh about it later. Or cry. Both are valid."

She dropped the mic (literally), spread her arms wide, and yelled, "Welcome to the madhouse, nerds! Let's crush it this year! Or get crushed! Either way, it's content!"

The crowd erupted into cheers and laughter. As Yuki sauntered offstage, her legs trembling but her grin unwavering, she thought to herself, Well, that wasn't the worst thing I've ever done. Probably.
