Very sorry for the long wait!!!
I did a very general summary this time around.. if there are any questions feel free to raise them!!
Another apology for not having scans as well.
Okies! That's all i guess~ ^0^/
The chapter continues with Mikan pondering about Natsume's actions (he hugged her~~).
She was not sure of anymore which is the real him. She felt that he was like her - he had to hide his real self because of the reason behind it.
Later on Mikan returned to her group of friends. It appears that everyone had been searching and worrying for her including Ruka~~
Nonoko went to inform him that she had already returned. They were relieved that Mikan looked more cheerful than before.
Even Sumire was worried for her. Tsubasa realised that Ruka and Sumire were looking at them, he pointed them to Mikan. Mikan returned a smile and thanked them =)
That made Ruka wondered what had happened to her earlier...
Meanwhile, it seems that Iinchou had heard about Natsume telling his group to ignore Mikan. When he asked Mikan about it Mikan only replied,
"What happened i am not sure but it just turned out like that... guess it can't be helped..?"
"Mikan-chan, what do you mean by can't be helped???" said Iinchou, "Why is Natsume..."
"It's ok,"replied Mikan, "I had enough of Natsume..."
In her heart she was thinking about the hug that Natsume gave her earlier.
His hands were warm and were holding onto Mikan regretfully. Somehow she understood that he did what he did against his will and that deep within there will be a reason behind it.
Mikan then conitnued saying that she cannot be depressed all the time. On the contrary, she felt happy that she has many friends concerned about her.
Moving on with the competition, Mikan told Tsubasa that she had a good idea to win. However, after hearing her idea, Tsubasa felt insecure about it...
And the competition had begun!
The rules are simple, each participant had to grab hold of the other party's star and the group will be awarded 10 points (1 star= 10points) however, if the leader's star was taken away, the team will be awarded with 50 points.
Natsume took part in this competition and he was the leader of his team.
Hotaru, too, happened to be a leader of her team.
Apparently she had invented a special machine for that competition. Her fans were deeply impressed but
her team mates seemed to feel embarrassed to be riding in it.
She caught sight of her brother with his body language saying "it's so embarrassing... i cannot bear to look any longer...stupid...pretend that i don't know her..."
Hotaru realised that, she shouted towards Subaru's direction from where she was,
"Oniisa~~n! (*older brother [i bet all of us know that term xDD]), IMAI SUBARU ONIISA~N! My real elder brother~~~! The representative of Potential Class!! That one wearing spectacles!!!!!"
That caused many people turned to look at Subaru (poor guy xD)
"She..seemed to know what you hate very much..." said Sakurano.
At the other side, Mikan, Tsubasa and friend who saw that felt that Hotaru was scary...(haha~)
Meanwhile, the leader of Red Team was revealed!! It was Kokoroyomi ^0^/
Mikan was shocked to know that. The leader of other teams include Nobara! (boy! don't we all miss her??)
Nobara missed Mikan a lot a lot.. But she felt that she was not worthy of Mikan's attention.
Nobara had some things to tell Mikan regarding "that woman" (Mikan's mother). Mikan somehow sensed that she had something to tell her...
One of the boys carrying Nobara spotted Tsubasa! He was that same guy that got excited when Tsubasa appeared in the Princess Party. Tsubasa was 'afraid' to see him thus he brought Mikan running away together~
It was then they learnt that Luna was also a leader! Many were surprised because she has yet to reveal her ALICE.
And the participants got into positions and started running!
Mikan's strategy was to make use of the bad rumours about her to attract people coming at her. When all of them came charging at her, Tsubasa would use his ALICE to stop their shadow. Her idea had not only earned their team several points but also she gained more friends through it. Some team members went over to help Tsubasa and Mikan to block away their enemies.
Thanks to it, the Red Team seemed to be in the lead~
The scene changes to Yuka (Mikan's mother~~). She was informed by Shiki that there has been a little girl following around Mikan lately.
He showed Yuka Luna's photo and another photo of a woman. They were the same person.
Yuka was surprised to see her because that woman is her classmate with the Soul Sucking ALICE!!
END of Chapter 87
