Chapter 2, How did she notice that?
"Master, maaaaaaaserrr MASTER WAKE UP!" Kotoko yells in my ear, i whip my arm across the bed, i hate it when Kotoko does this, its like shes doing this on-purpose,
"Time Kotoko," i say, groggily.
"You have a watch," she says, i look at her, she sighs
"It is 1:30 pm and twenty seconds or twenty-one now," she says, plainly. I sigh and i get up, ive got to show Annai around the mansion, which will take over an hour my house is so huge. I walk own a flight of stairs into the kitchen where Annai and Tokyo Rozu are.
"I already did it," Tokyo Rose says,
"Do what?" i ask
"Show her around the house," She says plainly. I nod,
"But was it hard?"
"No problem, but you have to show her the basement," She says; i give an exasperated sigh,
"Fine," I say clearly annoyed. The basement is the same width and length as the house, but its also where i keep my files, my Lab, my Sake collection, and also some secret room i don't really access anymore.
"Hey master," Annai pipes up, obviously not paying any attention to the previous conversation.
"Hmm," i hum, leaning on the counter with my hands.
"So how long did you have this place?" She asks, looking around the post modernized room.
"Uhhhhhhh," I ponder, she has a point; sometimes i wake up, and i wonder, how the hell did i end up in the future?
"Three years, its the most modern house in this residential district," kotoko speaks up,
"Thanks i kind of forgot," i say Annai nods,
"Oh please you forgot come on," Tokyo Rozu mocks,
"Shut up!" I snap, Annai giggles,
"What?" I ask, she stops giggling,
"Oh nothing," she says, i give her a look,
"Anyways, ive got to show you the basement," i say, we begin walking down a flight of stairs,"Warning ts a bit over whelming, as in is the width and length of my house."
We get to the pitch dark basement,and i switch on the lights,
"So this isn't that wide" she comments, this is an understatement, i can barely see the end both ways. But thats not saying much, i have terrible vision.
"Oh but there are more rooms to come, come on," i wave my hand as we walk the long part, not very interesting, until we turn into a corner, which is underground, not just under the house, my cable room, basically, the electricity regulation cables ,they look like plain cables hat you find useful for persocoms and other tech stuff. She looks around the room before spotting a microphone setup, that came with the house itself, the electricity room, i built myself,
"Master, whats this?" Annai asks, picking the microphone set up,
"A microphone, you sing or speak into it and it automatically makes your voice clearer and..well..prettier," i say, rubbing my neck.
"Do you have a good voice?" she asks,
"For arguing, yes, singing, no fucking way," i say, she giggles,
"What?" i ask,
"Oh nothing, I've just never heard you swear before," she explains,
"Well, better get used to it, trust me, its not rare," i say leading her out of the room, i continue to show her around the basement for thirty solid minutes, until we come across a door, a door that leads to a secret compartment, a compartment that none of my persocoms have been through, and have never noticed
"Master, what room is that?" Annai asks, hmm, so Annai has noticed ithat door, but the others have'nt, A pang of pain hits me in the chest. i try not to think of it too often, Depression is the thing that stopped me from working on it.
"Oh its just a closet," i say, plainly, trying to cover the saddness.
"A closet that leads to..." Annai says accusingly.
"Nowhere, it just an empty closet see?" I open the door a crack so she can see that there is nothing to see. She nods un-cerntainly.
"What was it?" she mutters to herself, with a hint of suspicion in her voice.
"What was what ?" i ask, Annai doesn't say anything back.
"Well that's it i guess," i say as we go up.
"Have a good time? You were here for a while," Tokyo Rose asks, clearly waiting for my answer.
"dunno," i say going into my room, closing the door with my back. I sigh, how is she the only one who noticed that door? i wonder, then it hits me, Either her eyes are more advanced, or, shes new, so maybe that makes her notice more? But how is that gonna help; the others have never noticed it before. maybe its just me being paranoid or something. I take in a deep long sigh, this is going to take some reasearch.
"Kotoko, send command that all persocoms go to my room at once," i order. she sends it out, as i plug her in and i begin
Authors side note: Sorry if this was not the best, i wrote this a couple months ago, so please bear with me.
