Vocaloid: A Wonderful World (A Wonderful Reality Sequel)
Author's Note: This story takes place just two months right after Barzini and Miku reconciled and became lovers.
Silence is often a cruel thing and that between lovers are more so. However, my heart is thoroughly disturbed, as if a dozen war drums are sounding. A bead of drop trickles down my forehead.
"I'm taking this doughnut and you're not stopping me, Barzini-sama!" Miku calls out, her hand slowly stretching to that doughnut… My eyes shoot up, looking intensely at her face, then back at the doughnut.
The curve of that chocolate donut was too much…
"No, hands down, Miku. Final warning." I said calmly, gulping.
"I don't get it! Why can't you just eat the donut if you want it! If you don't want it, I'll eat it! It's nice~~~" Miku's voice trailed off, sounding as if she soared into the skies thinking of the taste of the chocolate.
"I have a sore throat! I can't eat it! So just leave it!" I cried out, coughing in the process.
"I'll just buy you a new one! In fact, I bought this for myself!" Miku wailed tragically and I finally relented, causing her to smile widely and devour the chocolate donut mercilessly.
Coughing, I went to sit down at my bed and gaze out the window. I see people walking in the streets holding sticks of cotton candy and fried meatballs.
I close the curtain and collapse onto my bed, defeated. I think the issue of this is rather, the issue that I am unable to crave my daily sweet-thing-must-eat urges.
Miku totters over and places her hand on my hair and ruffles it – It seems that her virtual habits have not in the very least, been tamed. My bed hair is now a complete mess.
"I don't see why holidays should end. Do you?" Barzini looked at Miku and sighed, his voice cracking half-way.
Miku pouted, bending down to look at me, narrowing her eyes.
"Yes, yes. The doctor would do you good." Miku said, brandishing a leek from nowhere and whacking it across my face.
"Aurgh! Abuse! Abuse! I hate the doctor!" I yelled, clinging onto my bed as she forcefully tried to force me to go to the Crypton physician. No. Never.
Over my dead body.
Xxx
Apparently satisfied that I have seen the doctor grudgingly, she swings the small white carrier that had those horrifying pills, with a huge smile on her lips.
"How should we spend the last day of our holiday?" Miku asked with a smile – She was wearing an extremely cute frilly dress – I smile a little, reaching out hesitantly, before holding her hand.
It was soft and warm – A fuzzy feeling warms my cold and cruel heart.
Girlfriend – That word is so new to me, sure, I've had a couple of dates in the past, but this one was special.
How can a vocaloid become a real 3D waifu?
Walking back to campus, I headed straight for the library's Non-fiction section – This is where my girlfriend and I disagree.
She is very much insistent that I read every manga, visual novel and anime that she has appeared in, citing it as education while I am very much more insistent that she reads a few more novels and non-fiction stories to broaden her knowledge, which she has steadfastly refused.
"Barzini-sama! Try this!"
I turned around to see Miku holding a rather thick, hard-cover book and for a moment, I thought she would have a decent recommendation.
Fifty Shades of Grey
My face darkened for a moment as I gently pushed the book back into her hands.
"It is amazing!" Miku said, her eyes beaming and I nodded slowly.
"Why is that so?" I asked, trying not to laugh.
"A lot of oolala~ scenes!" Miku said, winking and I shook my head, flicking her forehead with my finger.
"Ouch!" She yelped and I took out a book titled "Berlin 1945" and pushed it in her hands.
"A lot of booms." I said, and she instantly seemed dejected, pouting and looking down, shooting me resentful glances. It's really no issue – She likes me enough to forgive me after a day but soothing her feathers is a difficult job even for an hour.
"Fine, fine. I'll read Fifty Shades… But you have to borrow it. I'm not having that under my record." I mumbled and Miku perked up, a huge eye smile forming.
Xxx
As I stuff the book in my bag, I extend my left hand to her and she looks at it for a moment before she places her hand in mine – I don't say a word and we head back.
Most of the school is empty as everyone decided to go to Japan while I stayed behind in Singapore as I had a bout of fever – It was a habit of mine to fall ill during the holidays.
I had told Miku to go with them but she refused, instead, preferring to bother… Or take care of me during my recovery.
As we returned to my room, I saw a letter on the floor and picking it up, I opened it – The Crypton Academy's logo was on it and I sighed.
What was it this time?
Dear Barzini,
We formally invite you to join the Crypton Academy's Student Council – As a member of the student council, you will gain several opportunities, such as organising the annual Student Festival, networking and more.
We hope to hear from you, two days from now on at Meeting Room 4-15.
Regards,
Park Arisu
Head of Student Welfare
"Nope." I said loudly and handed the letter to Miku as I opened the door.
How I was going to be profoundly mistaken at the sheer determination of the Student Council… How mistaken…
Author's Note: Here it is – A sequel that I never thought I would write. Why did I write it? More reasons than one but writing is therapeutic to me – And things haven't been going my way for quite a while now…
I'm not sure if Nicole is still game for co-writing, but if she is, you can expect the next chapter from her.
