Bright Future ~Thank You~

Bright Future ~Thank You~ is the forty-seventh chapter in the To Love-Ru Darkness manga series.

Summary
An ordinary morning at Yuki house where Mikan and Momo see Rito bumps into Lala who is walking naked after the shower. Rito accidentally gropes her chest and, because Lala is still in her children form, he calls her "Nana" by mistake. Naturally, the real Nana gets angry for this and Rito. While they're preparing for school, Mikan and the princesses talk about how they are returned to the ordinary days despite just the day before the Earth was in danger to getting sliced up. After having breakfast, Peke make a school uniform suited for Lala current body (included a twintails hairstyle) and everyone goes to their respective schools.

Later at Sainan High, Yami is asking sorry to all schoolgirls she caused trouble the day before, and Mea tells her that Lala has arrived. After Lala showed her body shrunked to rest of her friends and classmates, Yami then give her a box full of milk in bottle apologizing for to be the cause of Lala's situation and hoping the milk will help her grow big. Lala tells Yami to don't worry, explaining that she just temporarily used up her energy and will be back to normal before long. Lala adds her condition is light, compared to her father who is shrunk to a baby after the Great Galactic War.

Yami then asks sorry to Yui and Haruna for the ecchi things she did them. Haruna tells her to don't worry, and Yui (surprised to see Yami being regretful) says she can't be too harsh given the circumstances. Suddenly Risa and Mio grope Yami, telling they would have liked to see her perverted version and to be involved. Rito then remembers what he did to her and gets embrassed. Yami escapes from the girls and face Rito. However, Yami walks away without saying anything, and Rito worries that she's angry for his acts. Yami recalls a talk with Oshizu and Mikado who checked her physical condition and the doctor concluded at the end she simply showed her true power. Tearju then hugged Yami crying and telling she's glad to everyone who helped to back her to normal.

Back to present, Yami watches the town from above reflecting on her actions when she meets Mikan. The girls then take some taiyaki together. Mikan asks sorry for not being with her during the crisis, but Yami says she's glad it ended without any harm on her. Mikan notices Yami is still sad and tells her that now its okay because ordinary days are returned, and they can return to eat taiyaki together again.

Later, Rito is running from Zastin who questioned him about the day before and want known how Rito returned Yami back to normal. It revelead that Momo explained gently everything to Haruna and the rest already, and nobody asked Rito for more details. However, he feels guilty for his perverted acts.

Suddenly, Yami appears who leaved Mikan explaining she still haven't finished expressing her gratitude and bring ordinary days back definitly. So Yami, blushing and bubbling, tries to thanks Rito, but he interrupts her asking sorry for all the ecchi things he did to her and describing them aloud. Totally embarassed because Rito is drawing the attention of random housewifes, Yami then puts a taiyaki in his mouth to shut up. But Rito slips and falls on her ending in another pervert situation with him groping one of her boobs and putting the taiyaki from his mouth into her panties. Yami then pushes him and, flustered and embarassed, says to do not misinterpret and that everything she said or did when she became Darkness are nothing to do with her real nature because she's not a pervert. Yami adds that she doesn't have any feelings for him, but she notices Rito is choking due of the taiyaki and takes him at a vending machine to drink something.

At a roof, Mea observes the scene, commenting how her sister is so flustered and isn't being honest either. While she wonder what she should to do now, Nemesis appears telling that Darkness' power could have plunged the universe into chaos and start a new galactic war, so living weapons like them would find a place where to live. Nemesis asks Mea if she's okay with the current situation, and Mea replies that a battlefield isn't the only place where they can live and likes to stay in Sainan. Nemesis calls this boring and lament to have lose a servant, but she says it's fine. Mea asks Nemesis to live in Sainan too, and Nemesis replies that she won't go anywhere and will watch her and Yami from shadows while killing time.

While Rito recovers by drinking some tea, Yami hides. At Yuki's house, Mikan wonders where her brother is, and Momo see watching the news on TV about a man trapped in the ice found at South Pole who actually is the Principal (after Yami warped him in the chapter 40).
