Funny / A Courier For Kivotos

Due to being a moments page, SPOILERS OFF!!

This image is supposed to be Courier Six, drawn by your beloved assistant truly.

It's a Blue Archive x Fallout New Vegas crossover. What do you expect?

---

In general

• While the Courier is perceptive, silver-tongued, and intelligent, being able to adapt fast to Kivotos's tech (kind of), and being very likely a high-leveled Courier, he is quite dense towards people's feelings like Shiroko's crush and Serika being a tsundere. Understandable, considering what world he lived in for his entire life.
• Also, sometimes, calling gangsters gangers before correcting himself.
• Moments where Shiroko gets jelly when Six-Sensei focuses on other girls or girls lump close to him. Even she gets jealous of ED-E, but only because Sensei called him cute which is a first from him.
• Sometimes, whenever girls see Sensei's face when he takes off his Riot helmet. While not surprising for girls who have only met him for a short while, examples being Yuuka and the FTF being shocked and seeing that their Sensei is in fact human underneath his armor.
• Ironic how Aru willingly believes all of Six's crazy-adventure stories in the Mojave while Shiroko doesn't. Then again, Aru is a very gullible person but Six does appreciate that she's the only one who believes him.
• Considering most of the technology Six has used in the Mojave, many students see him as having old-fashion taste and being surprised by his ignorance to normal stuff like cellphone, laptops, chopsticks, anime, etc.

Chapter 1:

• The Courier compares the idea of hording music tapes instead of sharing them with the world to a musical version of the Brotherhood of Steel, before internally apologizing to Veronica.
• He rhetorically asks Rin who would ever accept a job without knowing the finer details, then remembers his job with the Platinum Chip, realizing he is the pot calling the kettle black.
  • He later imparts the same wisdom to Shiroko with seriousness later in Chapter 10.
• Quoting Benny when he is amazed by Kivotos' tall skyscrapers and massive size.
  "What in the goddamn...?"

Chapter 2:

• Momoka and Rin bickering with one another over the phone, with an indignant Six right behind her overhearing everything, ignoring his protests.
• Rin cringing over the fact that Six doesn't know what a handheld phone is, and coming to terms with the fact that this man was going to be their teacher.
• The Running Gag of Rin referring to Yuuka as 'Seminar', to the latter's indignation. The GSC also ignore all of Yuuka's protests and continue to refer to her parent organization's name.
• Six strokes Yuuka's ego by actually referring to her by name instead of 'Seminar' then begins to compliment her Sig Sauer MPX submachine guns. He even lets her boast for a bit... before reigning her in.
  Courier Six: I've seen better though.

Chapter 3:

• Six compares the Kivotos girls' bulletproof shielding abilities to a pair of fully-armored Brotherhood of Steel Paladins No Selling one another with 9mm pistols.
• With the newly acquired knowledge about the Kivotos girls' invulnerability to otherwise lethal gunshots, Courier Six casually instructs Kirino to break cover and toss a smoke grenade as a distraction. She complies, but immediately takes a Crusader's 40mm round to the chest afterwards, knocking her out cold.
• Six's first encounter with Wakamo consists of multiple (mostly failed) speech checks with her, throwing out terrible dialogue option after option to see which sticks.
  "You look like a gal who really knows her bombs."
  "It's obvious, really. From the way you placed these on key structural weaknesses. Getting the most bang for your buck."
  "You know, I'm something of a '''[Demolition Expert]''' myself."
  "Maybe you and I could meet up sometime and... make things explode?"
  • The Courier then tries a little flirting which seems to work on her. But one look under the mask and he realizes exactly what he just walked into. He resolves to be careful with exploiting anyone else with the [Lady Killer] perk.
    She was an extremely attractive young woman, and her delicate facial features sported the most elated of smiles.
    A hearty blush tinged her mien, like that of a woman madly in love.
    But her eyes...
    Courier Six: Oh shit. She's crazy. Abort. Abort!
• Rin channels the spirit of Mr. House upon Six's pun.
  Rin: ...Is that an attempt at... humor?

Chapter 4:

• Even an unrefined wastelander with limited knowledge of pizza and even less of pineapples thinks combining the two sounds horrifying.
• The Courier summaries the story thus far to an out-of-date Arona in the most deadpan delivery possible:
  'Courier Six: President is missing, GSC running around like headless chickens, city on fire, the usual. I'm here to fix it.
• Sora of Angel 24 introduces the Courier to the concept of social media, which ends with Six confusedly reading the comments section of a KivoTube video about his recent battle.
  M79 Enjoyer: AAAA Sensei is so cool!
  Isami_Kaede: Isn't he afraid of getting shot?
  Throwaway14958: Brb applying to Schale rn
  Peach_Fighter1337: He looks like a video game protag lol
  ClubSmoochie67: I want Sensei to correct me too...
  xxBigRedxx: Is that Miss 100kg from Seminar? wwwww

Chapter 5:

• Used to the weird array of weapons such as a golf club, gauntlets chambered in 12 gauge, guns that bark at enemies like a dog and revolvers that play guitar riffs when wielded, Six readily assumes that Fuuka had chosen a cooking ladle as her melee weapon of choice.
• After casually hacking herself into the Pip-Boy 3000, which Six notes is highly impossible to hack into, Arona unintentionally activates the auto-injector system and gives Six an unneeded numbing dose of Med-X. One can only imagine if she had accidentally messed around with more radical drugs like Jet or Psycho.
• Courier's priceless reply upon seeing Yuuka staring at his unmasked face for the first time:
  Courier Six: Yuuka, I guarantee that no matter how long you stare, I'm not going to get any handsomer. It's like trying to surpass the speed of light – it's just not physically possible.
• The disgusted reactions of Yuuka and Fuuka reacting to what Six-Sensei has been eating for his whole life.

Chapter 6:

• Twice does Six-Sensei outwit Fubuki's attempts at weaseling out of range training; first by providing her 5.56mm ammo for her rifle when she claims to have forgotten the ammo and second when he whips out a weapon cleaning/repair kit for her dirty weapon.
• The Courier sees through Fubuki's Brilliant, but Lazy demeanor and has to bribe her with 'SCHALE lounge patrol time' if she puts in 100% effort in the firing range. She agrees to it, but the moment her gun jams due to her laziness in cleaning it Six physically drags her to the nearest workbench to correct 'an affront to guns', much to her displeasure.

Chapter 7:

• Shiroko is completely enraptured by the tale of Vikki & Vance, as regaled by Six-Sensei. The Courier continues going ham hyping up their tale for Shiroko, while omitting the duo's more Epic Fail, yet truer version of their exploits; mainly committing petty crimes unnoticed by the authorities, then getting killed in a crossfire between real gangsters and the police.
• When the Foreclosure Task Force tells him about their 900 million yen debt, Six-Sensei uses the only unit of measure in order to understand how much is actually worth; a 280 yen bag of chips - at least 3 million bags worth of debt. He still tries to clarify if 900 million is a lot of money, which elicits a Head Desk from Serika.
• The Courier suggests a Wasteland-worthy solution to deal with Kaiser Loans, eliciting horror from everyone, except from Hoshino and Shiroko. He tries to pass it off as a joke later.
  Courier Six: ...Want me to take care of the loan company?
  Serika: What do you mean? Wait... *realizes implications* Are you a teacher or a hitman?!
  Courier Six: Yes.
• Yuuka drone-mails a new phone to Six with an addendum detailing the approve stipend of money given to Six-Sensei for 'essential supplies only' (i.e. food, hygiene products, clothing). Six naturally assumes that the essentials would obviously be guns, ammunition and explosives.

Chapter 8:

• Six is incredulous that Sunohara Shun is somehow the same age as a third year high-school student despite being an instructor to kindergarteners for several years. Shun ominously catches on to his line of thought, to which the Courier backpedals quickly by using the [Lady Killer] perk in his next speech check. Luckily it works on Shun, now flustered by his tact.
• Walking around the Abydos district and witnessing the myriad of walking cats, dogs and Ridiculously Human Robots; Six for the first time since arriving in Kivotos, falls into an existential crisis and begins questioning Arona if everything and everyone (including himself) is a figment of his imagination. Apparently he hasn't gotten over the trauma of the his experiences at the Big MT.
• After being saved in a failed kidnapping attempt by the helmet gang, Serika wants to thank and apologise to Six-Sensei only for the moment to be ruined by the constant blaring of the man's Pip-Boy radio.
• Six-Sensei is intrigued by the concept of a Tsundere when Nonomi explains Serika's erratic behavior towards him.

Chapter 9:

• Six bluntly recants his recent discovery of Tsunderes by labeling Yuuka as one to her face on video call, eliciting a series of Spit Takes from her.
  • The cameo of Noa comes in and Yuuka immediately ends the video call. Six remarks it must be someone fun if she's able to make Yuuka flustered. Double the teasing incoming...
• The Courier goes through a rollercoaster of emotions upon seeing the adjustments Arona made to Vault Boy in the Status Tab screen, beginning with Tranquil Fury then a "No. Just… No" Reaction to the information that the doodle is meant to be him. Eventually he relents when he senses Arona's Puppy-Dog Eyes and begrudgingly lets her keep the doodle on his Pip-Boy.
  • In fact, the Author page's main illustration is the very same doodle as described by Arona. It’s even the page image!
• Six-Sensei regales an utterly transfixed Aru and Haruka about his 'backstory' as Texas Red... by lifting Marty Robbins' "Big Iron" lyrics wholesale along with the actual stories from his Wasteland adventures and even talking about the Sierra Madre adventures. Kayako doesn't buy any of it, Mutsuki is enjoying the farce way too much and Arona was cringing hard all the way throughout his tall tale.
  • Best of all, Six-Sensei flashily dons a cowboy hat out of nowhere mid-story, over his already-worn helmet. Even Serika calls it dumb on his way out of the ramen shop.
  • After the hyped story-telling (ahem intel gathering) from Six, Aru believes the mission will succeed. Cue the next scene saying it was a total disaster.
• While the options the girls choose are the same as canon, the Courier's contributes a solution to Abydos' debt problem in the only way he knows how... gambling through casinos and winning non-stop until they get kicked out; then move on to the next casino. No one believes it'll work, even Shiroko, so everyone else shuts the suggestion down, even after he claims to have pulled it off before and how he got so rich in the Mojave.

Chapter 10:

• At her request, Six-Sensei begin imparting his skills of sneaking and pickpocketing to Shiroko. Her first attempt to pickpocket Serika fails so Sensei gives Shiroko pointers to improve on her technique, all while the both of them ignore Serika's increasingly angry protests in the background.
  Shiroko: Sensei, Sensei. I think Serika is angry.
  Courier Six: Nah, her anger is just an act. You see, she really just wants you to succeed, Shiroko.
  Serika: LIKE HELL I DO!
• Six-Sensei issues Shiroko one final pickpocketing challenge: Nonomi's golden credit card. When the wolf-girl inevitably fails and tries to reason with a slightly-miffed Nonomi, she turns around and discovers that her Sensei had already bolted long ago.
  Mm. So this is what betrayal feels like... Shiroko realized.
• The Courier's first look at Peroro-sama leads to him instantly think the mascot is one hell of a Radchicken.
• Shiroko taking one good look at Hifumi and says how they followed the plan... to kidnap a student from Trinity. Luckily, Ayane steps in and says she's just joking but not before the other girls try to convince poor Hifumi to enroll in Abydos. Hifumi, very understandably says no thanks.
• Prepping for the Stygian Bank heist, the Courier shocks the girls when he decides to go all out in his disguise; by donning one of the outrageous jailhouse rocker outfits from the Freeside Kings, a stolen helmet and a Valence Radii-Accentuator to simulate a Kivotos-denizen halo.
  • The disguise works so well because of how common a halo is in Kivotos that they couldn't believe it was Six. When he tells it was because of a Valence Radii-Accentuator, he finds their disappointed reaction funny:
  I likened them to a group of ghouls discovering that they couldn't take their unmutated human friend to hang out in ground of a nuclear blast.

Chapter 11:

• During the bank heist, the Courier a.k.a 'Vance' unleashes his inner Legionary and goes full ham by threatening the bank staff and calling them 'profligates'. Shiroko copies him which leads Six to snicker.
• Similar to canon, the Abydos students hype up the meek Hifumi a.k.a 'Faust' to be their bloodthirsty, trigger-happy leader capable of inhumane brutality. Seeing the already psychotic 'Vikki' and ultra-violent 'Vance' in action, the onlookers are understandably terrified of her.
  Shiroko: I thought Vance was the leader.
  Hoshino: Nah, just look at that paper bag on Faust's head. If that doesn't scream 'leader', then what does?
  Shiroko: Vance has unique headgear, too.
  Hoshino: But you can't see his eyes. Meanwhile, just look into Faust's soulless, dead-to-the-world eyes, and tell me there is a god, Vikki.
  Hifumi: I beg your pardon?! *Faust was offended.*
• Even Six is clearly not onboard with the gang's name of the "Masked Swimsuit Gang", thinking himself why he's even in a group like this.
• The fact after the heist succeeds and they are being chased by the Black Market Security, Hifumi still wants the limited edition Peroro doll she tried to find and correcting Six that Peroro-sama isn't a Radchicken (which in the first place everyone is confused by the term). She does get it in the end reluctantly, after the Courier and Shiroko threaten the person in charge of the stall to give it up.
• Mutsuki shamelessly flirting with the Courier and clinging to his arm on an attempt to get shelter at Abydos, much to Shiroko's visible annoyance.
• Six freaks out when Serina somehow got into the locked basement in Schale, and her dodging the question of how she did it.

Chapter 12:

• Yuuka finds Six-Sensei in his basement workshop and tries to confront him regarding his frivolous online purchases. After several unrepentant answers, constant interrupting requests for Yuuka to help mid-experiment and even denying the accusation of building a laser weapon whilst constructing said laser right in front of her; she simply gives up and ends up grumpily assisting him.
• Problem Solver 68 goes back to their office in order to pack up and left a message for Six-Sensei at Abydos, inviting him to join them for a bit. Aru, being Aru, fails to specify where said office is. Ayane and Six-Sensei still manages to track them down via the conspicuous explosions and bodies left behind from PS68's battles with their previous employers.
• In order to have a one-on-one conversation with Hina, Six tells a concerned Shiroko to 'get the takeout' as they 'don't want to keep the others waiting'. She understands his words and moves off. Later when the meeting concludes, Six and Hina are greeted by the whole of Abydos High and Problem Solver 68, weapons at the ready. Shiroko, having completely misunderstood her Sensei's words and thought it was code for getting backup to deal with Hina, and not because Six-Sensei wanted her to literally get ramen takeout back to the school.
  • Hina lists his characteristiscs down from what Chinatsu told her... not before telling the last fact about him is that he's a womanizer. Six realizes Chinatsu was listening to his flirting with Shun, to his dismay. He felt Shiroko's intense glare at him when he tries to change the subject.
• The sheer fact that the intelligence agencies of the major academies and even their leadership are not only completely fooled by Abydos' Paper-Thin Disguise as the Masked Swimsuit Gang; they are instead focusing more on the halo-ed male individual known as Vance.
• Six tries to change the focus of Vance to 'Faust' and gives descriptions about her supposed inhumanity and wanton cruelty. Even Hina seemed unnerved by Six's vivid retelling of Faust's (bullshit) reputation. He internally apologizes to Hifumi, promising to compensate by buying her more Radchicken merchandise for her after earning a good amount of money.
• The Kronos News Radio show features an anonymous guest; a witness to the Masked Swimsuit Gang's brazen bank heist. After the guest's overly-long ranting about how hot 'Vance' was, she slowly begins to break down after mentioning 'Vikki', later bawling over the two being the perfect Outlaw Couple and having a Freak Out over it. Cue studio security escorting the guest off the air and audible gunshots in the background, followed by the standard "We Are Experiencing Technical Difficulties" excuse by the host.
  Guest: You know, it's not fair.
  Host: What isn't fair?
  Guest: Life.
  Host: ...?
  Guest: Like, why does Vikki get Vance all to herself?!
  Host: I'm not sure that-
  Guest: What does Vikki have that I don't?!
  Host: I don't think-
  Guest: Wahhhh! It should have been ME, not her!
  Host: Please calm down-
  Guest: It's not faaaair!
• Six disparages the quality of Kivotos radio and taste in music; especially one Austin Dieber and unfairly compares them to his favorite Mr. New Vegas and his choice of classic country music.

Chapter 13:

• Wakamo's idea of a gift for her beloved Sensei before their 'date' somehow amounted to stealing a Gehenna armored truck carrying a weapon shipment.
• When Six disguises himself in a Kaiser PMC uniform, Wakamo gets a good glimpse of his un-helmeted visage and was so aroused by the sight, she collapses afterwards, but not before managing to burn the image of Six's face eternally into her very soul. And the fact Sensei brings up his medical knowledge but is left confused to how her nosebleed even happened not knowing it was him that caused it to happen.

Chapter 14:

• Shiroko's eyes light up at the mention of a Vault 13. Courier Six assures her it's not that kind of vault.
• The Foreclosure Task Force has a pre-meeting discussion about what would make a good back massager for Hoshino; the buttstock of her shotgun - Iron Horus, Nonomi's Mini No. 5 or one of the Courier's gauntlets? Hoshino immediately points out that Sensei's gauntlets have in the past crumpled countless enemies under their raw power, but Nonomi dismisses her concern by citing that her body is pretty much Made of Iron.
  • How this conversation started is Serika giving Hoshino a massage using her gun beginning the scene with Innocent Innuendo.
• When Six-Sensei reveals he went to raid Kaiser's base (with Wakamo), the Abydos students are once again mad that he went by himself and putting himself in danger. Shiroko's only response is this:
  Shiroko: Disguise... *As she holds on her ski mask* Vance, you went on a raid without Vikki? How could you?
  Serika: That's what you're concerned about?!
• When Hoshino takes a nap on Six-Sensei's lap, he's once again touching a halo for curiosity in which Hoshino seemingly detects before sleep-talking for five, no, fifty more minutes of napping.

Chapter 15:

• When Hoshino wants to get inside Sensei's Power Armor, he bluntly tells her she wouldn't be able to fit (not only because of her height but because she doesn't have Power Armor Training so she doesn't risk having to fall on her face while wearing it). Hoshino pouts saying Sensei is a heightist because she's short.
  • What's more funny is that the fans of Blue Archive are aware of, but the author inputting the meme of Hoshino being bothered by the heat.
• Arona giving the devastating Gatling Laser Sprtel-Wood 9700 the nickname Sprtel-chan. Sensei immediately declines to call it that to which Arona calls him a spoilsport.
• When ED-E shoots its laser at a PMC student, it questions to Six-Sensei on why the student did not have excurciating burns. The Courier tells him to ask Arona who is confused to why she has to tell ED-E on why haloed students are seemingly impervious.
• Serika admitting she wants a Tesla Cannon after seeing what it did to the tank. Shiroko asks if she can pay for ammo and Sensei tells her it's expensive. Since the gun is connected to the electricity, it also means Schale's electric bill is rising by the triple digits. Dismayed, Serika decides to stick with normal bullets.
• When Hoshino stops Hina to tell her that she's "shameless" for intruding on Abydos land, Six knowing Hoshino's personality by now begs her to allow the Gehenna Prefect Team to assist them to which Oji-san agrees excitedly. Serika merely tells a confused Hina to get used to the dynamic.
• Mutsuki coordinating to Yuuka so she doesn't get blown up by the landmines she placed, which happens not only once and twice before she discovered Mutsuki and not only thrice but FOUR times. FOUR TIMES. That's a tank for ya. The only thing that finally makes Yuuka upset enough that she decides to use her EX skill to go through all the landmines? Mutsuki calling her Seminar-chan because she couldn't see Yuuka's name.

Chapter 16:

• The chapter starting off with Hifumi together with Wakamo because the Courier needed someone to watch over her so she wouldn't get carried away.
  • What's more funny is even Wakamo knowing who Faust is and believing the rumors of Faust being the mastermind that is feared throughout every criminal enterprise, including bringing up Vikki and Vance. She only brings up because she thinks Hifumi will seduce Sensei.
  • Courier brings this up as to why he assigned Hifumi to her instead of a regular student because Wakamo wouldn't be able to be stopped then.
• Then they meet Rabu who points out Hifumi's helmet... which is basically her taiyaki paper bag. Even as a Nice Girl she is, she can't help but think:
  Hifumi: Is… is she right in the head?
• Poor Hifumi realizing Wakamo is the Fox of Calamity, one of the Seven Prisoners, and the person who was going to blow up Schale a while ago. She whimpers thinking she should have stayed home after all.
• The Courier being absolutely mind-boggled by the sight of the students taking a break from the fighting to eat Fuuka's sandwiches. WHILE SAID FIGHT IS STILL ONGOING. Even more funny is that they are still getting shot, but they are not affected or care about it because of their halo protecting them. He could only bring up the Vit-o-matic Vigor Tester, an item where you choose your SPECIAL^note  Strength, Perception, Endurance, Charisma, Intelligence, Agility, Luck. Can go up to 1-10. stats in the beginning of Fallout New Vegas, and thinks if they were to be categorized, it would be "Sub-bricks".^note  Basically he saying's they have 1 Intelligence
  • And what's more shocking to him is that her food heals the wounds on the students like if a student injected themselves with a slow-paced Stimpak. He then deduces Fuuka's food must have chems in her food for that to happen. He decides he needs to investigate this anomaly for science.
• Using his [Terrifying Presence] perk on the PMC Director, after getting tired of hearing the pompous, arrogant robot's speeches, this is what the Courier has to say:
  Courier: I don't want them to miss what's about to happen, *I threatened, no longer bothering to hide the malice in my voice.* Because I'm going to rip you in half and use your guts to make a toaster.
  • Sure enough, this was enough to finally scare the Director into running away from the fight.

Chapter 17:

• Six-Sensei witnessing Hifumi's EX skill and is in utter disbelief when Peroro-sama, aka the big Radchicken, distracting everyone, including the Crusader tanks.
  • This only makes Hifumi apparently more cool to Rabu's eyes as she sees it being heartless to use a beloved icon like Peroro as a sacrifice.
• Arona adorably trying her best to pronounce the word "Exfiltration".
• The scene where Nonomi manages to capture ED-E who is trying to wrestle itself from her arms. The fact it's trying so hard to release itself from her arms is because it was listening to the Courier's order that it shoots its laser at Serika, narrowly missing the top of her head.
• Six being a slight Tsundere when Shiroko points out he finally says the words "his students", as he claims it was a slip of a tongue. Serika of all people laugh at him for this.
• When Fuuka got a little scared from the tension between Six and the PMC Director, Nonomi reassures her he would never hurt anyone. Him and Hoshino share a look as the latter laughs nervously.
• Six scratching Serika's cat ears with his Power Armor metal hands. Despite Serika finding them rough, she doesn't mind it... till Shiroko pushes her away and tells him to scratch her ears instead:
  Serika: H-hey! Those metal fingers are rough!
  Courier: Sorry.
  Serika: T-that doesn't mean you should stop…
  Courier: You're giving me mixed messages here.
  Shiroko:You could always switch to me, Sensei, *Shiroko offered, nudging Serika out of the way and supplanting her head in her junior's place.* Unlike Serika, I'm appreciative.
  Serika: Hey! What did you just say?!
  Shiroko: Truth hurts.
  Serika: Grr… Move! I was here first!
  Shiroko: Doesn't matter. I have seniority, so back off.
  Serika: I'll show you seniority!

Chapter 18:

• During the serious scene with Six and Black Suit, when the latter argues about the bad payment he has as a teacher, he does mentally acknowledge it... not before remembering if he was paid or not!? He makes a mental note to complain to the GSC later.
• After his conversation with said scene ends, Six greets the rest of his students who were waiting and worried about him. As he was about to answer Hina's question, he falls face down in his power suit due to the core running out of energy. This leads to many students trying to help like with Serika asking for a can opener for some reason and Mutsuki helpfully suggests the thermite they were going to use to blow up the door in the building Sensei was in. Luckily, Six with enough [Strength] is able to put his two feet back up, not before asking Serina to put her large syringe down that she was going to possibly insert in him. He notes the nurse is probably worse than Gematria to the point he thinks to install 20 sentry guns in SCHALE (considering she was able to get into the Sink 2.0 without using the key to get in, he's not wrong).
• The party at the Abydos cafeteria leads to a massive amount of shennaigans:
  • Aru, with her big mouth, points out Iori is nothing without Hina to assist. Haruka as ever agrees Aru can take on any small fries... by herself! Obviously, seeing Aru's panicked face she probably meant the whole PS68 not just herself. Then, they argue about their guns with both leveling up the amount of meters they can shoot at to which Aru says five thousand. Mutsuki is having fun with this with Kayoko and Chinatsu sighing at their companions shennaigans.
  • Yuuka observes ED-E, discussing with Six on how he was able to make ED-E float. When Six introduces ED-E to Yuuka, who tells him she helped with his creation, ED-E takes one good look at her and lets out an array of beeps. When Sensei snarks at what the robot said, he at first tells Yuuka he said thank you but when the Millenium student notices he said more, Six tells her ED-E called her their mother. This leads to a red-faced Yuuka as she sees herself as the mom and Six as the dad. Serika, Shiroko, and Ayane slightly, were not amused to see how she reacted to the fact. Luckily before Shiroko opted to shoot her to snap her out of her reverie, Six pulls up a math problem and answers it wrong to which she immediately snaps out of it to answer it correctly.
  • When Six takes his helmet off again and several students are staring at his face again, the students talk about crazy rumors concerning his face. First, they say he's either a student in disguise to which he points out he doesn't even have a halo. Shiroko says they say he's a robot, which is a quarter true. Haruka inputs one of them to him being wrapped head to toe in bandages from a really bad injury, which makes him think Graham. Finally, Mutsuki says how she thought him taking off his helmet would lead to him wearing another helmet underneath.
  • The fact Six does not know anime and everyone stops to stare at him in utter disbelief. When Six compares them to cartoons, Mutsuki says how he should be careful with his words or else anime fans would go in war for anime. She isn't wrong though.
  • Then we find out one of the conditions to become part of the Problem Solvers was to watch an anime.
  • When Six gets caught drinking alcohol in his canteen by Shiroko and the students remark just because he is an adult, he is breaking the rule because it is illegal to possess alcohol on school grounds. With his great bartering and speech skills, this leads to this funny exchange:
  Courier: Okay, while I may have technically broken some rules here-
  Hoshino: You mean, you literally broke the law.
  Courier: -you're gonna let me off the hook because I'm a swell guy, right?
  Hoshino: Well, Oji-san might be willing to look the other way if you swing by to fix the air conditioner in the left wing of the school building later…
  Courier: It's a done deal.
  Serika: Pretty sure the deal you guys just made is illegal in itself…
  Ayane: Definitely illegal.
  • Then Shiroko gets curious and wants to try Sensei's alcohol. Hoshino immediately states no considering she is underage to drink. She only really stops when she finds out drinking alcohol leads to muscle atrophy.
  • Of all people who came to swing by, it's not Hifumi (who is surprisingly not there), not Rabu, not Hina and Ako, but Wakamo! Six remembers it's because he didn't tell her anything else after the Kaiser raid. When Shiroko argues with her, what triggers her is the fox calling her a dog to which she decides to shoot the fox's mask several times before it truly escalates to them fighting each other. But you know the funniest part here? One of the bullets that richoheted off of Wakamo's mask hit Six's whiskey bottle and shatters the liquid content all over him. Six calmly tells the duo to take their fight outside.
  • As Serika comforts Six on losing his only whisky bottle... only to then pop out his tequila bottle, exaseperating the cat eared student on why she had to comfort him. Then they get into a trivial fight about the differences of each alcohol.
• THEN, we get some drunk moments as when Fuuka tries to clean up the mess caused by the bullet, she gets drunk on the fumes of the whiskey while Shun who drunk tequila with Six goes on an emotional drunk rant.

Chapter 19:

• In the beginning of the chapter, Courier, ED-E, and Arona, ahem, Head Researcher Courier Six, Associate Researcher ED-E, and Assistant Researcher Arona experimenting with the food Fuuka made. The narration is funny enough of how seriously Six is taking this with the scientific jargon and all. It at least shows how well-versed his [SCIENCE] skill is.
  • As Arona tries to stop Six from hurting himself in the experiment to test out the healing effects by Fuuka's food by threatening to use her shield on him, he simply states how he will do it when she isn't looking.
• Rin isn't immune to seeing Sensei's face for the first time too like other students much to Six's annoyance:
  Courier: Yes, yes. This is my face, Rin. It's crazy, I know, but sometimes I need to reveal it so I can eat stuff.
• The power Sensei has now that he's discovered how to use the Crafting Chamber as he could recreate stuff from the Mojave. Such as re-creating fresh Fancy Lads Snack Cakes and the REPCONN toy rocket ship that contains purified plutonium-239 leading him to wanting to find more keystones in the future.
• When Six gets his paycheck, he realizes it's lower than he expected.
