First accident? ~First Time...~

'''First accident? ~First Time...~''' is the fifty-fourth chapter of the To Love-Ru Darkness manga series.

Summary
Lala and Peke are hanging out with Haruna at her apartment, and Haruna shows her a photo of her parents, Sairenji Natsumi and Sairenji Fuyuhiko. Lala notes how they look so close and Haruna says they are too close, so sometimes they embarrass her. Haruna's dad is a school grade teacher, and Haruna explains that he originally worked at Sainan grade school, but he got transferred as her mom went with him because she was too worried. Haruna says the reason she didn't move with them and lives with her big sister is that she wanted to stay where she was, and Lala adds "Because this is where Rito is", causing Haruna to blush in nervousness. Lala thinks Haruna loved Rito long before she did.

Lala then takes out her phone and calls Rito to invite him over. Lala says to Haruna that she should use this opportunity to confess to Rito and, then give him a sudden kiss. Embarrassed by the idea, Haruna protests, but Lala tells her that it will be okay (because she knows that they love each other) and that she'll play around with one of her mecha to not disturb them.

Meanwhile, at Yuki's home, Momo is still thinking about her mother's words from chapter 50 about to be sincere with her heart. Momo tries to put aside her thoughts to focus on the Harem Plan when Rito comes and tells her about Lala's call. Rito is unsure, but Momo realizes that it's Lala's plan and could lead to development, so she persuades him to go to Haruna.

Back at Sairenji's apartment, Lala is working on a mecha that will temporarily return her to her original size. Lala explains to Haruna that her power is mostly restored, but still doesn't know when her natural form will return and it would be convenient to have something that can make her taller in a difficult situation.

Rito then arrives with some flowers as a present and Lala compliments the idea, but Rito says it was Momo's suggestion. Rito thanks Haruna for the invite and Haruna greet him, but accidentally Rito steps on Lala's mecha and there is a flash. Rito and Haruna disappear, leaving only their clothes. and Peke asks if they warped, but Lala tells them she doesn't put that system in. Suddenly, Peke spot something on the floor and they found Rito and Haruna shrank down in size. They are naked, and Rito accidentally groped Haruna's breast. Rito asks sorry and notes the "giant" Lala (with panties fully visible) above him. Lala explain that instead to be a growing mecha, it worked like a shrinking mecha and probably the effect will disappear in one hour. Rito and Haruna then are forced to wrap themselves in some tissue in the meantime.

As the two are recuperating from the situation, Haruna's parents arrive for a visit. Haruna, Lala, and Rito panic about the bad timing. While outside, Natsumi and Fuyuhiko think Haruna is out for some reason, so they decide to come in and wait inside. Lala then uses Peke (which turns into a full-body costume with elevator shoes included) to disguise herself into Haruna and welcome Haruna's parents. Meanwhile, Rito and Haruna on her room above the bed, worried if it's going to be okay, and Rito is distracted from Haruna who is wearing just a piece of tissue.

Natsumi and Fuyuhiko then start to talk about a visit to a cafè that has awakened their memories, and they start to act lovely-dovey. Lala tells they are really close together while the real Haruna feel down for their behavior. Suddenly they ask "Haruna" if she has found a special someone yet and, at her age, they were already dating. Haruna hopes that Lala will not get pulled into their stories because they want just to boast about their love, but instead, Lala asks them when they have kissed. Natsumi and Fuyuhiko are happy that their daughter is now interested in something like this and start to tell.

In her room, an embarrassed Haruna doesn't want to listen and begs Rito to do the same. But she leans too far over the edge of the bed and falls dragging Rito and part of her dress. They both end in an embarrassing position where they see respectively Haruna's private part and Rito's penis. Rito and Haruna ask sorry claiming both to didn't see anything, but Haruna thinks it burned into her eyes forever while Rito tries to calm down thinking of something else like Principal's face.

Suddenly, they note Maron who is sleeping on the floor. Haruna is very worried because the dog likes to lick her and if happens with her current size it would embarrassing. Maron then wakes up, and they hide in a dress. Maron is confused because he felt her master's scent, but he can't see her. The dog is bothered also because he didn't get a skinship with her master due to Lala's presence and wants to lick her. Maron then starts to search her while Haruna is embarrassed because she realized that they are hidden inside her panties. Rito then tells her that he will protect her, and a flustered Haruna thinks he's very cool and recall Lala's suggestion about kissing him.

Maron, however, is always more close to them, so Rito decides to dash out and distract the dog while Haruna will run in the opposite direction and hide. Haruna doesn't want to see Rito in danger, but for the boy, there are no other choices. But, as Rito is going to run, Haruna grabs his arm causing them both to fall over. While Maron hears Lala talking with Haruna's voice and rushes into the other room, Rito and Haruna find themselves kissing each other.
