Day 1: The Bet
Aya was humming a soft tune while watering the flower (A/N: Aya's humming! Ooooh….) when someone stopped and stood behind him. He turned around and saw Mihirogi smiling at him. Aya was about to call the other KB members when Mihirogi handed him twelve envelopes. Aya took them curiously, "What are these?"
"Invitations to a Christmas Feast. KR kindly invites you all to his place on Christmas Eve. I've heard that he even invites your associates in Japan for the feast," Mihirogi replied.
Aya read all the invitations, "Why twelve invitations?"
"Well, KR thinks that maybe any of you want to bring someone with you to the feast. Don't worry, they will find the feast is packed with politicians and businessmen, not just some male florists. And yes, all of you are somehow related to KR…only during the feast."
"And…Kurumi's in?"
"Yes."
"Then...why not fourteen invitations?"
"Twelve are enough…or I take it as you don't know about it?"
"About what?"
Mihirogi stared at him disbelievingly, "Seriously, all of you live in the same house and you happen not to know anything. Do you keep your eyes close all the time that you're somehow blind to whatever happens around you?"
"Don't talk in riddles. Maybe I'm blind just like you've said but I have not even the slightest idea what you are trying to say here," Aya replied in annoyance.
"Why don't you ask me?" Chloe suddenly appeared from behind, "Good morning, Mihirogi. So, it seems we have a feast to attend…"
"Yes, why don't you tell the others? I have something…important to attend to," Mihirogi said.
"Let me guess… Him?" Chloe smiled meaningfully.
"If Aya's blind, then you seem to have your eyes everywhere, Chloe," and Mihirogi left both of the male florists. Chloe was smiling and said something like, "I'm always right…," while Aya frowned in confusion.
"Is there something that I don't know, Chloe?"
Chloe stared at him and the sneered, "That's why I've told you not to always focusing on flowers only. Now, you're left in the dark…"
"Chloe, say it straight or I'll accidentally slice you into half."
"Hey... I've just realized, you're the only one alone now…," Chloe ignored Aya's threat completely and made Aya irritated.
"Chloe, stop it or else."
"Want to bet?"
"Now what on Earth are you talking about?"
"I bet everything I have that you will not bring a date with you to the feast."
"Huh? Are you underestimating me? And why I'm the only one that should be bringing a date? Why don't you ask the same thing from the others?"
"Let's see…," Chloe took out a small book and flipped its pages quickly, "…I have a lot of fair maidens in lines and are just waiting for my invitations. Free is going out with someone for several times already and I'm certain she's the one he'll bring along…"
"Free?" Aya asked disbelievingly, "You mean the tarot-fanatic Free? Our Free?"
"Yes…and never judge a book by its cover. I've seen her once and she's pretty. She's quite young for him but what they say, age differences don't matters when it comes to true love. Oh, I'm touch with what I've just said."
"I-don't-believe-you."
"You should believe me, and Ken has been caught dating by me with a Japanese lady. With my interrogating skills, he states that she's staying in Australia currently and is on holiday here for the time being and Ken coincidentally ran into her."
"I kind of know who she is…"
"Really? At least you know I'm not lying."
"Since you're saying I'm the only one alone… don't you suggest that both Michel and Yuki…"
"Yuki's with Kurumi and Michel's with a girl that he met recently in the National Library. And yes, don't even think to ask Mihirogi since I doubt she's anywhere but with KR."
Aya kept silent for a while, trying to consume all what he had just heard, "My… Maybe she's right about I'm being blind after all… How come I don't realize any of these?"
"Because you're so absorbed in the flowers. So, the bet is on?"
"What the… Are you still underestimating me, Chloe?"
"Yes, now and then. With you always ignoring the ladies around you and focusing on your jobs, I doubt you'll win. I can imagine you are wearing a red night gown for the upcoming mission if you agree to take on the bet…"
"Red night gown? Mission? What these have anything to do with the bet?"
"I've heard that the upcoming mission is at a famous prostitution centre and we need someone to infiltrate as one of the prostitutes. We can't possibly send Kurumi and then it is decided that one of us has to act as a prostitute. And the lucky candidates for the job are between Ken, you and me. Yuki's not allowed; he's underage or so what they say."
"Excuse me, I'm a bit tall for a lady and I don't think I have the lady's figure."
"Earth to Fujimiya Aya! This is Europe; tall women are common. And your waist kind of like a lady anyway and with the help of modern technologies of disguises, you can be fair lady," Chloe intentionally held Aya's waist, "Look, just like what I say. It's a bit narrow and I guess maybe you have a bit curve on this side…"
"Get your hands off me! You're creeping me out!" Aya took a few hasty steps backwards.
"Relax, I'm not a gay," Chloe chuckled, "Say, I think you're fit for the role."
Aya kept silent for a while, "…Instead of red, you're going to wear a pink frilly nightdress."
"Sorry?"
"Don't you dare to underestimate me, Chloe. If I win the bet, you're the one that will put up with the role…and vice versa."
Chloe smiled widely, "You better remember that, Aya. Oooh, I'm going to see Fujimiya Aya in a red nightie…," and went into shop.
"Ha ha ha ha ha… I'll get the last laugh…," and then Aya sighed, "…and who's going to be my date? And Christmas Eve is just in five days! Why do I'm that crazy to take on the bet anyway? I'm just so dead…"
