Chapter 25 - The Sophisticated Girl
“Tell me once again why I have to come to this place ?” Ryosuke ask his partner sleepily.
“This is concerning to our next assignment.” She answered.
“Sou ka.” Ryosuke yawn.
“Is there something wrong with your sleep ?” Ryuuki ask him concernedly.
“Nah, it’s just I had mountains of homeworks to do because I was absent for almost 2 months.” He yawns again. “You go first. I’ll catch up later.” He adds as he left for the bathroom.
10 min later, he finished his bath and wear a black shirt under his silver jacket and a black jeans. He also wear a simple necklace matched with his bracelet. He grabs his cell and wallet before he walks out his room. He eats some breads from the kitchen before he leave for good.
“Ittekimasu.” He bid a goodbye to his parents.
“Careful Ryosuke.” His father replied.
Ryosuke nod as he walks out the door. He yawns again. Once he’s about to turn, a girl from the opposite direction bumped with him.
The girl fall as she pouts, “Ittai.”
“Daijobu ?” Ryosuke offered his hand to help her up.
The girl puckered her lips but take the hand. She cleans up her clothes once she got up. She wore a creamy dress coat above her pink dress. She’s also wearing a brown knee-boots and a glasses with pink frame. A heart necklace matching her heart earrings, bracelet, and ring hanging around her neck. She has long black hair with few streaks of pink which hanging loosely to her back. From her appearance, Ryosuke guessed that she’s just slightly older than Kota.
“IIE !” she suddenly screams.
Ryosuke is taken aback. “What… ?”
“My nails… Oh, no ! I need to polish them again soon !” she exclaims, ignoring Ryosuke.
She keep ranting about her nails as she walks away.
Ryosuke sigh. Then he also leaves.
**************************************************************************************
“I’m sorry if I was late.” Ryosuke apologized as he arrived into the house he was told to come.
“It’s alright. I’ve just been told that the meeting is postponed until after lunch.” His partner tell him.
Ryosuke scan the room. There’re only him and his partner here.
“Aah, I guess we have to wait.” Ryosuke state as he settled himself in the couch.
Ryosuke was just sitting for a sec when the door is opened again.
“Yeah, but she’s not supposed to be… Eh ? Ryo-chan ?”
Ryosuke stand up abruptly and stare the newcomers in surprise. “Kou-nii ?”
“Are ? You guys are here too ?” the youngest of the newcomers ask.
“A-a, hai. We were told to come here.” Ryosuke answered him nervously.
“Uwaah ! It’s so rare to see others than the Shadow here ! Ne, Ru-Ru-Hime ?” Another boy exclaim.
Kota whack the boy’s head.
“Ittai ! What was that for ?” the boy ask in annoyance.
“I always told you that Ru-chan is not your Hime, Yuuyan.” His partner tell him smiling.
“Anyway, what are you doing here ?” Ryosuke ask.
“Well, some certain girl told us to meet the Goddess for some certain reason she won’t tell us.” Kota’s face turn annoyed. “And now she’s gone for her own business again though she’s supposed to be here.”
“So this is the Goddess’s place ?” Ryuuki ask them, scanning the room.
“You don’t know ? Yeah, well this is hers.” Runa answered her.
“So, does it mean that the Goddess postponed the meeting because she has something else to do ?” Ryosuke ask innocently.
“Wha- ? Oh, it’s not that ! The Goddess is here I suppose. What I meant with her before is the one who told us to come here.” Kota explain.
“Aah, sou ka.” Ryosuke say simply as he seated himself back on the couch.
After that, the 6 of them are all waiting in silence.
After a while, Kota then suddenly stand and checked his watch. “I’m going out for lunch. Wanna come Ryo-chan ?”
“Aww, I’m jealous ! Why do you just ask Ryosuke ?” Runa giggle.
“I often treat you before ! Give me some time with my brother !” Kota exclaim.
“Ahahaha. I know. Don’t worry. You 2 have fun !” she shouts as Kota drag Ryosuke out.
“Don’t worry, Ru-Ru-Hime. I’ll treat you.” Takaki try to flirt with her.
“Nonsense. Ikkou Ryuu ! Kazu, would you like to come ?” Runa stand up.
“Mochiron. Bye Yuuyan !” the boy followed the girls out.
“Hey ! Don’t leave me here ! Hey !” Takaki run outside.
***************************************************************************************
“You could just ask the other to come with us, Kou-nii.” Ryosuke tell him while chewing his meal.
“Oh, so you don’t like eating with me ?” Kota show a disappointed look.
“It’s not like that ! It’s just, maybe it would be fun if we’re together.” Ryosuke state.
“So it’s not fun just with me ?” Kota pout.
“I told you it’s not like that ! It’s, forget it.” Ryosuke continue his meals.
Kota mess the younger’s hair playfully. “I know what you meant. I just wanted to be alone with you. It’d been long since we have our lone time.” He then smile while eating his lunch.
“Kou-nii, you never been this warm to other person, do you ?” Ryosuke speak up, make the older lift his head to stare him. “I mean, you’ve been kind to Runa-chan, but you never easily give away what she wanted. Or easily agree with her. And you never pout to her too.”
Kota is kept silence for a moment, before he smiles and mess Ryosuke’s hair again. “It’s because you’re special to me. I mean, Runa is special too, but you’re different. You’re my little brother. And I guess it makes sense if a nii-chan wanted to spoil his cute younger brother right ?”
“Stop messing my hair.” Ryosuke blush a little.
“You never been that cute to other people either.” Kota tease him.
“Urusai !” Ryosuke blush more as he finishes his meal.
“Ahahaha. My cute little brother~” Kota pinch his chubby-cheek.
***********************************************************************************
“She’s not here yet ?” Kota ask his companions as he and Ryosuke return to the house.
“Nope.” Runa answered simply.
“What the hell is she doing ?” Kota curse.
“No bad mouth please.” A man suddenly speak.
“Einsatz-san !” Kota snap out.
“Konnichiwa, Yabu-kun.” He replies smiling.
“Do you know him ?” Ryosuke ask the older.
“Well, he is the Goddess’s guardian.” Kota answered him. “It still amazed me how I never saw you before though I often came here.” Kota adds to the man.
“That’s interesting though. Anyway, the Goddess want you in her office now.” He informs them.
“So she’s here already ?” Kazu ask.
“No, not yet. But she’ll be here soon. Come on, follow me.” Einsatz lead them inside. He then stopped in front of a wooden door and knock.
“Come in.” a voice from inside call.
Einsatz opened the door. “The kids are here Goddess-sama.”
“Aah. Come on in, you all.” The girl who is reading a book gestured them in.
Ryosuke widen his eyes.
“Rea…” he whispers.
The girl recognized his shocked face and smile. “Hisashiburi, Ryosuke-kun. How are you doing ? I hope you’re doing well.”
“Y-yeah, I’m g-good.” Ryosuke stutter.
“You know her ?” Kota ask the younger.
“She, she was the one I, told you in your apartment.” Ryosuke answered him nervously.
Kota frown, but replying indeed, “Well, you should’ve thanked her. She was the one who saved your life after that incident.”
“Eh ?” Ryosuke’s eyes grow wider.
“Let’s not speak about that. We have something else to speak here.” The Goddess changed the topic as Einsatz close the door and approach her.
“I’ve planned on make a group of some of you. I didn’t asked Ei-kun to do this because this group will contain quite people from the Shadow Division. Beside, he had enough things to do without adding this thing.” She speaks softly. “And now…”
She was stopped when the door suddenly opened and a girl burst in.
“Uhh, why can’t I do it now ?” she rants to herself while watching her nails before turning her face to the other people in the room. “Well, what did I missed ?” she asks sweetly.
“AL !” Kota yell to the girl in her pink pink dress just above her knees. “You supposed to be here since 2 hours ago !”
“Ahh, gomen !” she apologizes but there’s no regret in her voice. Then she scans the room and see Ryosuke who’d been widened his eyes since she entered the room. “Ah ! Nail-breaker !” she points at him.
“Hmm. So the 2 of you have met ?” the Goddess smile.
“Yes ! He bumped into me this morning and broke my nails !” she exclaims.
Kota stare at the boy with the questioning look.
“It was an accident. She fell and it seemed that her nails were broken.” Ryosuke shrug.
Kota roll his eyes. “It’s not what I meant.”
“Well, it’s not the time to talk about your nails I suppose.” Einsatz speak up.
The Goddess smile again. “My dear Knights, meet Alquirro, the Guillotine.”
