Flower ~Budding Feelings~

Flower ~Budding Feelings~ is the fifth bangaihen chapter of the To Love-Ru Darkness manga seres.

Summary
Rito spots Celine with two flower pots and wonders if they are Momo's. Celine happily offers them to Rito and he smells them. Rito is suddenly shocked, and overcome by some sort of "boiling impulse". Momo then comes running up to Celine, telling her not to summon plants from her D-Dial. Momo realizes that the plant is the Jikido Flower. Momo then states that when smelled, the Jikido Flower turns someone into a completely different person not realizing that Rito smelled it. Celine then points over towards and tries to speak. Being able to talk to plants Momo understands what she is sayingand is horrified.

Inside, Rito runs into Lala's room and tells her to give him some inventions. Lala agrees, but wonders what is wrong with Rito. Rito grabs the "Suke Suke Goggle-Kun" which allows him to see through clothes. Lala then wonders why Rito is looking at her with them and he tells her to try different poses. Rito then says he wants to see more, and Lala is embarassed. Rito leaves and Mikan asks him if he is going to school. Rito looks at her with the glasses, and asks her if she wants to take a bath together, much to Mikan's horror.

Later, at school, Rito sees Risa, Mio and Run; Risa states that Rito looks excited oblivious to the power of the glasses he is wearing. Meanwhile, Aya, Rin and Saki are talking and Rin wonders why Rito is running around. Rito runs through the hallway wondering why he hasn't always been using this invention. Suddenly, he runs into Yui who tells him to stop running in the hallways. Rito then runs into her and stares right up her skirt. Yui then slaps him and tells him to learn some shame. Rito then thinks to himself that he is not just satisfied seeing more, but wants to take it to the next level. Rito then thinks to himself that he will find Haruna, and use a crab-mecha to rip her clothes off, then use "Kuru Kuru Rope-Kun" to stick them together.

Suddenly, Momo stops him and thinks to herself that the invention has turned Rito into a brute and, if he continues on this rampage, the consequences will be irreversible. Rito then grabs Momo and tells her how awesome the Harem Plan is, stating that as long as he has Lala's inventions and Momo's flowers, he will become the king of Harem. Momo then tells Rito that he could never be the king of Harem in his current state and uses a Kenja Flower to bring him back to his senses. Rito then faints, and Momo sits next to him, and tells him that there's no need to rush to be a "Carnivore," but that she will help him, little by little.

The next day, Yui plays with Celine, while Rito covers his eyes, and insists that he is not looking at anything, which confuses Yui.
