"Rei, welcome, thanks for coming."
"Hello Papa... Saitou-san... what is this meeting about?"
"Rei... Saitou-san here has been talking to me about releasing some fotographs that you obviously have had taken. I wasn't aware you had an ambitious side in you - 'Mars Reiko'."
"What? But Saito-san, you know I never wanted to be an idol, that these were just taken to challenge Minako. I don't want them released anywhere!"
"But Mars Reiko-chan, pleeeeease, you're so talented, so beautiful, it'd be such a waste of potential!"
"Papa, I hope you didn't agree to release these pictures!"
"Well, Rei, actually... I haven't decided upon it yet, but Saitou-san is right, they are very good. I always like to see you excell in something, Rei. This is a good way. Tasteful, but glamorous."
"You mean, you can benefit from it with your career, right, Papa? It'll bring your name into the magazines."
"Of course not, Rei."
"Very well, because they are not going to be released. And Saitou-san... next time you kiss my dad, don't use lipgloss."
Senator Hino's face slowly turned into an unhealthy shade. Rei smiled and patted his hand.
"Don't worry, I'm okay with it. Please don't bother to get a heart-attck over it. And don't let this man go, Sugao is awesome. I want him to have dinner with us on your birthday. I'm not really surprised, Papa. I have long suspected where I got it from. I told you about me and Minako, didn't I?"
Without waiting for an answer, well knowing it'd be a while before her father would be able to speak again, Rei flashed him another big smile and turned to leave. Sometimes, being a seer was just amazing. No way would she have wanted to run into this couple unprepared. Or left to guess if her father was alright... Even with several rooms already between them, she could still see Sugao smile at her father.
"Now Takashi-kun, that didn't go so bad, after all. I told you your daughter is wonderful. Now let me wipe that lipgloss off your face before someone else notices."
And Rei smiled at the picture of Sugao kissing Takashi before she closed her vision. She just made sure to see he kissed him back. More she definitely didnt want to see.
Now how would she tell Minako about it without having her have a heart attack?
