Going In Completely Blind

Date: September 20, 2009

Okay, so segueing off of the last chapter.

"Hey viewers, Bluebell here again. So, first I need to do a little bit of a...*ahem*...explanation of sorts, before we proceed on with the chapter...*I now proceed to blush quite visibly*...Don't worry viewers, as it has nothing to do with any fourth wall break explanations...at least not right now anyway...*I say this with a sheepish sort of grin, and my free right hand behind my head, and with the same blush still very much visible on my face*...Anyway, you might have noticed, the...*ahem*...word that was in the very first sentence of this chapter...right?...Well, you might all be wondering, why it isn't spelled as 'Segway,' correct?...Well, some of you might be wondering about that...So, with that in mind, allow me to give a short explanation...'Segway,' is a type of electrical transport...While 'segue,' as mentioned at great length, by Colin Mochrie, and Ryan Stiles, during one of their Greatest Hits sketches...You know, the 'songs of horror,' sketch?...Or horroar, as Colin Mochrie had jokingly said it as...is to make a smooth, and completely clean transition, from one thing, to another...Well, some of you might not have been wondering about that...but thing with that is viewers, that unlike Keiko, I do not have a Telepath Esper ability...Yes, you read that part right viewers...Keiko Misaka, or in this case, the Esper version of myself, has more to her, then just being an Electromaster, with an Esper ability of the same name, like Mikoto...For you see viewers..."

"Really Bluebell?!...Can you just get on with it?!...Or need I remind you how this went on in the last chapter?!...*Zachary says this with a pretty less then pleased expression on his face, to pretty much let me know flat out, that I really should learn, to keep my fourth wall breaks to being just a little bit shorter*"

"Look Zachary...are you, or are you not the one, who is doing a fourth wall break at this very moment?!...And furthermore, who was the one, who had started this fourth wall break to begin with?!...Because the last time that I checked Zachary, was that not you, who chose to intrude, into 'my' fourth wall break, hmm?!...*I say this to Zachary, while giving a pretty displeased looking expression, as well as a very visible tickmark, also being present, on one side of my face, to pretty much let Zachary know, that he is the one, who is in the wrong here*"

"Well?....*Zachary says this with an expression, which pretty much all but confirms, that he himself, is somewhat out of line with his statement, which is then followed by a deep and defeated sounding sigh*...Fine Bluebell, I see your point..."

"I figured you would Zachary...*I now proceed to say this with a closed eyes smile*...Now viewers, what do you say, that we get back to the story now, hmm?"

Anyway, yet another fourth wall break moment with Zachary aside, at least for the moment. And getting back to the current situation from the last chapter. I was currently, still trying to get Li, to hand me his Lasin Board for a moment.

And, given the current weary looking expression on his face, I could pretty much tell from that, that he wasn't exactly willing, to acquiesce my request.

However, it was then, that Zachary of all people, then decided to speak up. "Li, would you just humor her for a second?...I mean after all, do you happen to have any better ideas?...*Zachary says this, while giving a sort of very telling small side-eyed glance to Li, along with a sort of small sheepish smile, as if to pretty much humorously suggest, that it was more then likely, that Li himself, didn't have a better idea then mine at the moment*"

However, as I took in the current situation, which included Zachary's current facial expression, I then realized something. "Okay, so that may very well, be the first time, that I have seen any anime character, make that sort of expression...actually viewers, that is not entirely true...Because if I remember correctly, Hinagiku...I mean...Angel Daisy...actually wound up making a similar expression, to one Hiromi Kawanami, back in chapter 40 of this fanfic...'A Passionate Kiss Farewell!: A Horrifying Discovery!...Actually, she didn't make that 'exact expression,'...However viewers, that doesn't mean, that it wasn't similar...Even though the chapter in question, doesn't really mention her making such an expression per say...But, the point here viewers, that I am trying to make, is that you will need to just take my word for it...I mean after all viewers, unless you have a way not to confirm it, then you really do in fact, have no choice...But anyway viewers, enough of me waffling a bit, back to the story," I thought to myself, while I had turned my attention, and eyesight, to the left of me again, to once again address the viewers.

But anyway, after Zachary had asked Li too, 'humor me,' so to speak. This was then followed, by Li then letting out a defeated sigh. Which was then followed, by him handing out his Lasin Board to me. And as I took it from him, and placed it in front of me, while holding a hand on the outer most edges of the outer most corners, on each side. I then, closed my eyes.

"Okay Captain Jack Sparrow, let's just see, if your compass, isn't the only one, that can point you to the thing, that you want the most," I thought to myself, as I then started to concentrate, on the thing, that I wanted the most. Which, was to have all of us, find Keiko and Misaka, and more importantly, save Shokuhou, from her perilous situation, with Gensei Kihara. I only hoped, that we weren't all, already too late.

And as if one queue, the Lasin Board, all of the sudden, then started to glow a bright white. But, even though I could feel the power coursing through the Lasin Board, which caused the bright white colored light, to shoot forward from it, and straight ahead. I wasn't able to see, with my eyes currently closed, that the bright white stream of light, as it neared the end of the alley, that we were all in, it then, wound up making, a sharp right angled turn.

And yet, I wouldn't know, until a bit later on. That the real reason, as to why the Lasin Board had worked for me, in the way that it did. Was actually, having to do, with the guided assistance, of a certain Esper, with the epithet, of 'Lucky Strike.'
