Chapter 3 - "Unknowingly, Hiratsuka can be docile"
Morning with some hot latte,
Warming the glimpse of sunshine while eyes staring at the fresh scenery. Sound of bird flowing within a breezy air that gently blowing at the blue sky. Greatly fill the noise of the warm of new days. A group of people were humming in relaxation while doing an activity to complete their mornings. They were enjoying of what they feel and welcoming the sunshine caress their skin. The heat were nicest companion for a while. Go outside and achieve what they given.
"Ahhh..."
A sound of sip were heard as someone enjoying the view from above building.
"Nothing best but a fragrance of coffee."
A man on his mid twenties are satisfied with his simple breakfast. The scenery from here aren't the best for him. But clearly, he can feel the warmest sunshine after a deep slumber. He didn't even bother himself to wash his face. He just went straight to the kitchen to make a coffee and stayed infront of windows. Even with nothing to do in here, he wasn't grumpy and just appreciate the things that coming to him. Might as well enjoy it to the fullest.
"Now, gotta meet that appointment."
After a list sip of his mug, he place it on the table and heading to the bathroom. Who's enjoying their body when it was sticky after some good night sleep? Obviously not him. Steam were produced from the warm shower as he took it to clean the mess. After some minutes of bathing and putting some hair wax, he struggling to pick what to wear. He doesn't want to wear his usual costumes. It brings some misunderstanding to people as they thought he was celebrity. What is this kei singer they're talking about? He purely curious about it. Hmm, out of greed maybe...
"Hmm... usual taste, I guess?"
In the end. His fashion can't take him as far as he expected. A long sleeved white sweater with some scarf twirling around his neck, and plain dark blue jeans. He looks like a teenager trying to look cool with uncontrolled puberties. Well, atleast it doesn't take an effort to wear. Unless someones take initiate on his fashion, he won't mind. Satisfied with his clothing, he took Nevan and place it in a guitar case. Well he won't bother to bring his other weapon. He then heading outside of the building with a sunglasses on.
"Now, to find the place... might as well use my luck to get there."
He just wish that there's one. Can't be for nothing.
"And with the words, you can make a quote out of it."
A woman in her mid twenties teaching her lesson infront of this bored first year. Teaching a first year was hard in her time because she don't fully familiar with them. Even if they weren't interested in her subject, she know that it was their last subject before school ends. She won't blame them as they are agitated to go somewhere after school. Well, some of them are just gonna do their club activity and all. Have fun after quietly listening and sitting for half day. But to be honest, she wasn't amused by their display of discipline. They need some respect at their elder. They should be grateful of what they got from her. Well, it's not like this is the first time seeing the class like this. Just do her labor, that's all she need to do.
"So as long as you didn't misplace the Kanji, it would be readable within people's eye-"
Sound of bell ringing through the classroom as it cut her speech out. Their tired face were washed as it was full of spirit now. The rooms filled with a loud noise from the student talking about their plan after school. While some of them quietly put their things unto their bags and sit idly to be dismissed. To her, this is youth. Just thinking what to do and where to go for their trip today. No worries about anything, simply thinking for what they want. She envy them as well but life keeps going. Secretly, she huffing the day as it was tiring to speak non stop for two hours.
"Okay class. Take consideration of what you learn today. Remember to get home before night. Class Dismissed."
The student then get up and walk to the doorside. Some of them are probably going to stay for a while to chat with their friends. While some of them were playing with their phone and lazily get up. There goes another day. She then arranging her stuff and heading outside of the classroom to go to her office. Some teacher were already there as she walk in to her desk.
She places her stuff on the side of the table then turn her attention into her laptop. She forgot to turn it off again. She just don't like her things got roasted before she can fully enjoy its features. It wasn't even a month after she replace her old one. Before she proceed to turn off the laptop, there was something in the screen that got her attention.
"A mail? That's rare."
A pop-up notification on the side screen with a message she got a new mail. She move her mouse and click the notification resulting the screen showing her mailbox. The new mail was on the top list making her grateful not to scroll around with this much mail she got before. She open the mail and read silently the content in it.
"I'm not even sure with this..."
She then turn off her laptop sat up and walk to the corridor. She was heading to the other side of this building. It was an isolated building because it wasn't used anymore. Although, there still some club that claiming the old classroom as their clubroom. And surprisingly, she was a advisor one of them. The club that she was advised in are doing a manual labor and advice to their client problems. Unfortunately, it only got three member for now. Because of description of the club, makes other students think that it was a club to slack. Their clubroom position wasn't even helping to them.
But all that aside, the club were known as it had an history with the student council and other factor things. And they do had no limit of what kind of request they would take in. So far, not a single one were rejected. And all of them were success. Although as an advisor, she wasn't happy with the result. After all, she knows how their work progressed...
. . .
After a short walk in this cold corridor, a noise can be heard not far from her position. The silence around her were wash away as she stood infront of a door. "Service Club" are written on the signboard above the door.
"Hikigaya-kun. I would like to tell you that your creepiness has greatly evolved to a new ground." Soft but cold and sharp voice can be felt through out the rooms.
"Yukinon is right, Hikki. That's more creepy than before." Childish voice were heard while it sounded like disgusted.
"Atleast I speak out the truth, okay. Her 'Onii-chan' was the best she had, mind you." A firm toned down voice were heard as it spoken lazily.
"I don't mind, Hikigaya-kun. I expect that you soon to be a prisoner after you lost control of that beast you raise inside."
"You keep saying that Yukinoshita. I still sane and keep my line of thinking from those teenager lust."
"Oh so you actually admit that you had thought of it before. I truly fear of what you do in the future from now on."
"W-Wait what!? Hikki really!?"
"Of course not Yuigahama. This Ice Queen here are scheming with your airhead brains."
"I don't need to brainwash a black sheep to keep my point. Your speech are already a solid evidence for my case."
"Hey! Why do I get these feeling that I'm being make fun of!?"
Even though she wasn't in the room, she knows that their banters will last long. She can hear it clearly from outside and not let single words pass her ears. It really sounded like a one sided insult to outsider, but not for her. She really understand how they communicate with one of each other. It wasn't pleasant conversation to her ears. But it held no harm in it. Just clubmates kidding around. Well, in weird way...
The banters then suddenly turn into silence as the door slide open. They take their attention to the person that visiting them. A brief pause were taken. But not long after one of them break the silence.
"Good afternoon, Hiratsuka-sensei."
A long raved haired girl spoke in a neutral face as she greet her advisor. Yukinoshita Yukino, second daughter of Yukinoshita. A blue eyed girl with smooth baby skin and gorgeous looks. Petite girl but appearance can be deceiving. She was the President of this club. Although she wasn't the one who make the club, if her advisor and she was pointed to be the leader. But her advisor has a reason on why she did that.
"Yahallo, Hiratsuka-sensei!"
The other girl, a pink bun short haired girl, happily followed to greet their advisor. Yuigahama Yui, only child to Yuigahama family. A brown eyes with a fair skin and beautiful looks. She was one of her student the class she counseling.
"Oh great, more labor to come."
A spiky green messy short haired guy grumpily murmured as he ignores his advisor then turn his attention to his book that he held. Hikigaya Hachiman, the eldest son of Hikigaya family. His looks were... Normal, nothing wrong. Except those deadfish eye that the other were impressing him as a creepy guy. Although, if it weren't for his eyes. He would be included as a stud. Sometimes life are going on the wrong way.
The room are filled with only three student. They were seated on a different side of tables. Although the guy were in the corner as the other were nears each other. Nah, whatever about it.
"You too. Anyway im gonna cut to the case." She then seat herself on a visitor chair. "We got another request."
Yukinoshita sat up and pour a cup of tea for her advisor. "Is it someone from Student Council?" She then sit back after done carry out her doing.
Hiratsuka gratefully taking a sip for the taste. "No. Even if it was, Isshiki would come and drag out someone from here to do some of her work." She glance at the only guy around. "Especially in his case."
Hikigaya were alerted of her gaze. "I won't mind for whatever she calls me for." He lazily said while keeping his attention to his book. "As long as I get a moment for myself."
"Well, our lazy bum here has nothing better to do than fully adept on his pervy book." Yukinoshita retort.
"Hey, it's just one image that has nothing to do with the plot. Im reading it because of the story." He plead his ground with some perk of pride.
"Your insolent was secretly enjoying the view. Hikigaya-kun, I wouldn't mind if you weren't creepily smiling while admiring your ridicoulus property that you take pride for." Yukinoshita making a new ground to step on his with her cold retort.
He groan and turn his attention back to his book. "Atleast I'm not wasting my time on a poem that mildly target lovestruck middle schooler." A sneaky comeback as he chuckled at his remark. This makes Yukinoshita silently blush at his retort even though she still making that emotionless face.
"All that aside." Hiratsuka loudly stating their attention back to her present. "Our client requesting our helps with her relationship problem." Hiratsuka then stopped her speech to see what their response will be.
The atmosphere around the room start to stiffen. Yuigahama stopped typing at her phone keyboard as her thumb were froze in above the button. Hikigaya attention were robbed from his books as he slowly turn his head at Hiratsuka. But Yukinoshita, unknowing of what her regard about this. Hiratsuka just feel an uneasiness that filled the room produced from her statement.
A pregnant silence were dissipated for a while but then broken after one of them spoke a word.
"Sensei. You know full well of what the result would be." Yukinoshita sourly said.
Hiratsuka know too much about their history. She knew what Yukinoshita tried to say. That request don't bring a good memories in their time. They do blame that kind of request. They really wanted to avoid it. It even create a breakdown in their relationship. But unfortunately, it was a misunderstanding on how the method progressing.
Hiratsuka inhale a deep breath. "I know that. And I'm not gonna force you out to do it. My arrival here was to get your confirmation, That's all." She assure them to throw their anxious.
After that, the room turn into silence. Yuigahama want to say something but held back as she wasn't even sure of her words. Yukinoshita clearly considering her ends about the request. Hikigaya, on other hand wasn't even flinch and keep staring at her. His eyes were full of shock and confused with the outcomes.
"So," She eyeing them expecting an answer. "What's your input on this?" She asked the other two person.
Yuigahama have no clue for what to answer. She wasn't even comfortable by just knowing what kind of request they're going to do. She was the most sensitive than the other when it happens. And Hikigaya, same as Yuigahama not knowing of what to response. He wasn't fond of what happen and tried to forget about it.
The anxiousness still filled within the room. She was starting to felt uneasy now. Tempted with their silence, she sigh and stood up then heading to the exit. But stopped her track after she slide the door open.
"Just don't take to long. Decide while you have the time."
She then proceed her ways exiting the room. Even after she close the door, the silence was still there. She just hope that she wasn't giving them an hard time. She leaning to walls, try to think of what will happen if they decide to take the request. Because she want to prevent it from happening again. It was their hardest moment to be natural at each other. Even she was avoiding the topic when they're holding a conversation. But well, put that aside, she just wish they know what best can give them.
She then hear a laugh from afar. It's getting near to her position as she can clearly hear their chatter. The voice was coming to her ways as she can see there are three person heading here. The other two was a student in here. She know who it was. The former and current president of student council, Meguri Shiromeguri and Isshiki Iroha. That third year and first year were walking together at the isolated building. She can see that Meguri are taking initiative with the talk while Iroha just silently listening to their conversation. The reason why she doesn't join in because Hiratsuka can hear that they were speaking in English. Wait... English?
She turn her attention to the person in middle. It was a man, a young man with white hair and a face that looks alike foreign. She can say he really was a good looking man, has a gentleman feeling around him. This was rarely happen that a foreigner visiting this school, they would always be a local one. But if she think about it, she felt like she already meet this guy before? But where-
"It really was him!" She surprisingly squeaked.
She really did meet him before. She blame her mind for being slow at realizing it. She can see them getting close to see her. Bewildered, she randomly get into a room and closing it. She didn't expect him to be here sooner. She clearly wasn't ready for his arrival. She though that he will jacking his time off with some lady out there. Not to dwelling around school just to meet an hopeless lady. Why do she feel discriminated?
"Sensei?"
She was surprised by the voice. Oh yeah, she was in their clubroom again. They were looking at her confused but concerned as their advisor were breathing so hard. Embarrased, she tried to calm herself as she seat herself right where she was before. A hand suddenly reach out and placed a mug infront of her. Yukinoshita were pouring a tea to the mug, much to what she need right now. Taking a sip and letting out a puff as if it contains all of her anxiety.
"Thank you, Yukinoshita."
Yukinoshita just nod then sit back while looking at her curiously. She clearly want an explanation for her outburst. With no reason, Hiratsuka felt threatened by that gaze. She doesn't want to be interrogated, especially by her student. Before she can fight back, a voice were heard outside the room, as if it was getting near to here. She really appreciate the silence.
"Hey, is she really here? I don't even see one person around here." One of the voice ask.
"She would be here if not in her office. She can get bored so easily." Another voice answer.
"Oh, her 'bored' were something. Lurking around this place. She really enjoy herself at nothing."
That last statement were making her itched. But it isn't a time to worry about misunderstanding. She really heard a man voice from the corridor. Without thinking, she randomly look around the room as her vision landed on a bunch of stacked desk. She quickly sat up and place all of it infront of the door. Stacking it as it was covering the door. With relief, she feel to the ground in exhaustion. She never been so panic like this. She wasn't new at this kind of affection. She don't even know why she were acting like this.
"Sensei... are you by any chance, trying to block a sliding door?" Yukinoshita asked weirdly, much to her confusion.
...A Sliding door?
But then, Yukinoshita words struck her really bad. Ignoring her rant inside her minds about how idiot she was right now. Panicking, she looking around as the voice were already behind the door. Out of thinking, the stack that were placed infront of the 'Sliding Door' was quickly placed back where it before. But nevertheless, its too late for her now. The door slide open after an half of the stack were removed, showing a certain person face of a man.
Hiratsuka, stood froze at her position. Her gaze were meet with the person that she don't want to see right now. With that, she's got a smile from the other person.
"Hey there."
She lost all hopes.
Asking for direction,
He never done it before. Why? All of his mission before were pathless, he just wander around with some luck wishing that he reach to the core of the problem. For him, this is an exception. Getting to Sobu High need an effort. He spend two hours asking and searching to reach this place. Some bad luck happen on the way. Some people that he ask was clearly had a bad sense of direction. They told the way NOT bringing him to the place that he asked for, but a supermarket that almost had the same name with his destination. He almost thought that this Hiratsuka lady was a worker in that place. Say what? A teacher working here? There's is no way that she was teaching an Economic Strategy for a housewife. But hey, his luck were never been his disappointment. He found his destination for like, another hours of wandering clueless.
Now now, he arrive without a problem. Nothing to rant for the wasted time he spend all for. He found the place, meet the acquaintance, and breaching out on a abandoned building.
Sit and enjoy. He can find a relieve and spot on his comfort for a while now.
A hand suddenly reached his side. He turns around to see a raven haired girl, placing a white mug infront of him. With gratitude, he take a sip. The water were flowing to his throat, splashing around his deserted mouth. The taste were like a nature, like a tea. Oh wait, it was Tea. Not gonna lie but He wasn't fancy with being a Tea drinker. Prefer a beverage if someone would ask.
"Thanks." A simple appreciation he spoke out.
"You're welcome." She simply return in English. Weird accent, of course he can understand as their formal language were so hard to spell for a foreign. So it would be the opposite for them. Well, that one female student that accompanying him to here, has a perfect accent. Like she was a Local Foreign herself. What's her name again? Meguri, if he not mistaken.
With this simple changes of words, both of them back to mind their own place. But interest land on him. Occasionally, he would rather bother himself than taking his attention to somewhere else. This girl, the raven haired girl. He felt a bit familiar with her appearance. Like a younger self of someone he knows before.
"I didn't expect you to be here..."
A voice came along with his thought, trying to blend in and taking his attention to the source. It came from beside him. He turn his head to face the person, resulting him to see a seemingly awkward lady. Hiratsuka Shizuka, asking timidly while hand shyly placed on her crotch. Her smile were funny though, she was trying hard NOT to mess up her dialogues.
"Didn't I said Tomorrow?" He remark and quoting his statement from before.
"... You didn't say anything about that." She confusedly stare at him. Influenced by her, the confusion arise to him as well.
He tried to remember his words again. "... I didn't?" And then, his realization comes. He never stated anything about the date. Oh great, his arrival might be unwelcomed here. He awkwardly laugh, admitting his clumsiness.
"But hey, here I am at your place. Those 4 hours I spend in journey wasn't for nothing. Meet you and all, isn't this what you say?" He reasoned for his good sake.
Hiratsuka can only sigh at his attempt. "But I didn't say it would be now. I'm still in my work time. I would prefer you coming at weekends or end of school days."
This conversation were suddenly interrupted by another voice.
(Sensei, Is he your friend?)
"先生、彼はあなたの友達ですか?" The pink haired girl voiced in Japanese. Oh yeah, he almost forgot that there was another person other than him and her. That braided bun looks cute on her he thought. And judging from her face, Dante can assume She was an innocent maiden. Though she got a big rack that a lady in their twenties would have. Isn't she like 17? or 16? Teenager this day were developing faster than he thought.
(Haruno acquaintance, He's from America.)
"春野の知人は、彼はアメリカからです。" His companion talk in Japanese too. Now he felt left out...
(Basically, Sensei gave up on local men, Yuigahama.)
"基本的に、先生は地元の男性とあきらめました, 由比ガ浜。" The green haired boy joining the conversation. There was something above his head that tingling right and left as he spoke. That's a strain hair right? Yeah, it definitely was. But then, his eyes were anything but unique. Is unique really the right words? Dante might as well said it was... funny he thinks. Like a dead-fish eyes if he would take for a examples.
(Don't try to provoke me this time. I would give you a good lesson with my fist, if he wasn't here.)
"私にこの時間を挑発しようとしないでください。彼はここにいなかった場合、私は、私の拳であなたに良い教訓を与えるだろう。" Hiratsuka sounded so threatening when Dante heard that. She was speaking to her male student. That's make him leave the conversation and take his attention back to his book and presume what he do before.
(He was... Nee-san acquaintance?)
"彼はだった...春野の知り合い？" The raven haired girl taking the boys place and blend her words within the conversation. Familiarity never ceased with Dante impression of her.
(More like business colleague. Knowing your older sister job and all.)
"ビジネスメイトのようなより。あなたの姉の仕事とすべてを知っています。"
(Business? What kind of?)
"ビジネス？ビジネスのどのような？" Dante just going to hum quietly while waiting for them to speak "Universally Understandable" to him.
(Like I know that. Is she didn't tell you anything about it?)
"同様に私はそれを知っています。彼女はあなたにそれについて何も言わなかったされていますか？"
(Well... we never had any decent talk.)
"うーん...私たちはまともな話をしませんでした。"
(Knowing your relationship, I expect so. Why don't you ask him then.)
"あなたの関係を知って、私はそう期待しています。なぜあなたはその後、彼に尋ねることはありません。" Hiratsuka sigh as she said.
Dante without knowing what's going on, are being made like a scapegoat. He was taken aback as he feels a stare from both of them. Confused with anything around.
Gazing at them back. He said
"What?"
and
"What are you on about?" He ask the two of them.
He demand an explanation.
The raven haired girl will be the one to take the initiation. She get herself a brief pause before stating her words.
"... Can I ask you something sir?" Her voice had crumbled a bit. Like she wasn't sure with her own question.
Dante, let out his carelessness to recreate this awkward start. "No need to be formal with me. And yeah, ask me anything."
"What kind of business... you and Nee-san doing?" She carefully ask to Dante.
Dante, taking his time to think of what she ask. He can admit that her accent weren't badly sounded, just a bit perk of Japanese. But 'Neesan'? Whose name is that? He didn't hear it wrong right? Out of option, he ask the person beside him.
"Hey. Hiratsuka. Who is Neesan? I honestly never knew someone with that name." Genuinely confused Dante plead for help. He almost though the girl said Nissan, as if she's talking about a car company.
Hiratsuka, for a second there, was a bit confused with his question. But then, she do realize that he has no knowledge about Japanese Language.
"She means sister, an older one."
Even thought she explain it well, the confusion were still placed on Dante face.
"Older sister? Hey, do I look like I know her?" Dante plead for more explanation.
She can only sigh at his obvious question. "Let me introduce you to each of them." She then demanding their attention to her, by softly tapping the table. She then said something in Japanese.
(Alright kids. Introduce yourself to him. Leave out as much of personal information if you can.)
"さてさて子供たち。彼に自分自身を紹介します。可能な場合は個人情報を残します。" She then pointed at the boy and signalling him with her nod.
Groaning, the boy place his book down to the table and start to speak in English.
"My name is Hikigaya Hachiman. Second Year Student. Nice to meet you." He spoke fast enough, even his greeting at the end sound so monotone to Dante. After that, he held his book back and presume to read what's on the content. Much reserved to himself, Dante thought.
Next is the pink braided girl. Although its her turn now. She just stood silently above her chair. Dante notices that her body were shuddering, as if she were told to jump from a building high-end.
"Her name is?" Dante ask, not to the braided girl, but the person beside him.
Hiratsuka notices his intention by asking her. "Yuigaham-" But interrupted before she complete her sentence.
"M-M-Mai name es... Yuigahama Yui..." The braided girl suddenly spoke up, surprising the other two student apparently. But after that, a long pause being presented while the girl froze her stance like she didn't know what to say next.
Hiratsuka come to her aid, "Second Year, her class is the same as him." Then pointing to the Hikigaya guy, Dante thought.
"Right." A simple response came out from Dante mouth.
So the next is...
The raven haired girl huh? Dante really intrigued by this girl appearance for some reason. He doesn't know why though, but his impression of her was somehow... familiar? With who?
"Yukinoshita. You're next." Hiratsuka said while looking at the raven haired girl.
But then, Hiratsuka words seems to pull his realization now.
"Yukinoshita?" Dante ask to Hiratsuka, but the one gives him an answer are the girl himself.
"Yes." She stand up from her chair. "My name is Yukino Yukinoshita, The president of this club and a second year." After that she sat back on the chair.
Painfully, he realize something now. Talk about how slow a slug and he was...
"Wait... Yukinoshita? As in that crazy company?" Dante, with ridiculous expression ask the raven-haired girl, with a little bit insult. A nice way to ask someone there.
The girl face flinch within a second then back to her neutral expression. "Yes, but I do mind with your impression of our company." Her words hold a bit of malice...
So formal, So business-like. Just like her sister.
"How wouldn't I be? They almost sold-out your sister." Dante scoffing as he though how it is intended to bait him in. Not that he mind about it but, it just he prefer something more valuable than a... being a spouse, to a stranger nevertheless.
"Excuse me?"
Even though Dante is just joking, he never expect that their reaction would so uncalled. Hiratsuka face looks like she's ridiculed by something, Yukinoshita lil-sis can be seen so shock though, and there is this guy with what can Dante call a "Dead-fish Eyes" has questioning gaze to Dante. Although three person show reaction, the bubbly, and innocently Yui... what's her name again? Yuigamama if he's not mistaken, looking left and right as if doesn't know what's really happening? might be so.
"Not to be taken seriously," Dante try to melt down the tensed people in the room "Turns out it was just her antics to pull me in. I mean..." Dante can only wonder "Just what's going on with her mind..."
"That's not a nice joke..." Hiratsuka does not convinced with what either her suspect on prominent jokes like this.
"I never said I was joking thought. Is she never do that kind of skit?" Dante ask her with solemnly curiosity.
"Not that she never do so. It's just..." Hiratsuka found it unbelievable somehow "I've never expect her to joke those kind of things."
Dante raise a brow at her answers.
"Joke those kind of things... ?" Dante clearly seeing some context behind that words "What are you trying to say here?"
Hiratsuka though, fully aware with his question. But ...
"W-What are you trying to imply here?" Hiratsuka said hesitantly, her cheeks are reddening. Like it was going to become a tomato soon.
Dante feels like smirking. And he did, her reaction can be something he would expect her to hide something.
"What do I? Hmm~" A bit sly in his tone, Dante keep smirking to her face.
"EHEM"
A sound of soar throat take both of their attention to the source.
"You can take your quarrel somewhere. I still have something to ask you, Mr. Redgrave" The voice of raven haired said with the most professional tone, call it monotone, to the people at the room.
"Tony. Just leave the formality aside." Dante never like it when someone just call him Mr. It's like someone just greeted a gentlemen, an really old one at that.
But all that aside,
Dante smirk to the only red-faced person in the room "Well, we just take our quarrel outside right," His tone turn into a sly one "Hiratsuka-chan~"
Hiratsuka face would never be the same as before, as if the red on her cheeks has spread fully around her faces. Such reaction from her, Dante feels entertained somehow.
"Oh just make him your spouse already-oughru" The "dead fish-eyed" looking boy has yet to finish his retort as a punch landed to his guts. It comes from his teacher.
"You better not to say anything!" With a angry looks she warns him not to say such words. Although, her faces still have that red colour.
"Tony-san," A monotone voice coming from a certain raven-haired girl in the room, taking attention of the spoken name.
"My question from before, could you tell me what kind of business you and nee-sa- I mean, my older sister are talking about?"
Dante kinda forgot about her question because of their introduction. As right now, He would be giving her a straight answer, but decided not to.
There's this feeling that she's not involved in any of this matter, or she shouldn't be meddling around it. She is, indeed part of their company, Yukinoshita Corporation or whatever the name is. But even so, that's not make her to be automatically informed about their company condition, as for now.
All he can do was to withhold information from her.
Because all she need to know, is from her older sister.
"Well, a business is business. You might as well call it, a private talk. So I can't tell you any kind of information about it." Dante answer her with a reason.
The raven-haired girl though, expecting her to force him to say it but instead, she complied and understand his reason completely.
Guess teenager this day still have some respect to their elder.
But even so, her faces still held some uncertainty. Dante might as well hear what will her question be.
Looking so unsure, the raven-haired girl speak.
"Is it something serious?"
The looks on her faces says that she don't want any answer, other than a Yes or No.
But taking look at surrounding, not only her was having a look. All other person here are giving him such faces that looks firmly requiring for answer.
All Dante can say is, an neutral answer.
"Don't know about that."
With a simple shrug and an answer that's not satisfying enough, make their face turn into confusion.
He had no intention to lure their curiosity. He, himself still are not really informed how dire the situation is. Hell, all he needs was to guard an childish woman with her concert.
Even if the job suddenly change direction, he would still do any given instruction to make it done.
"Why?"
Put aside the simple question coming from the raven-haired girl, she still want a clear explanation about Dante unconvincing answer.
To see them in certainty, he feels like he should try to open his box a little broad, just to give her what she wants.
"First of all," Dante put brought up his hand above the table, simply tapping it with his finger "All I know that it is something that has an strong impact to your company."
He then resume his word in order.
"Secondly," Dante raise his hand and point his finger above "My role about this matter was to solidify the pieces for their problems. Their internal affair are not myself to knew."
He brought down his hand back to the table.
"Because of that, I have no full control with the current task, apparently so."
Although, his response can be impressed as reasoning. Yet it can be taken as a answer, it is a matter of facts that he hide the real context behind, but still not reveal each of them.
He did not lie. He doesn't need to.
"It's more serious than I though..."
A voice of wonder, not coming from the raven-haired girl, or rather coming from the only grown woman in the room.
Dante attention is taken to the source of the voice. Seeing on how Hiratsuka knew about it, makes Dante wonder if she's part of their company too.
"You knew about it?" He ask it bluntly.
And she gives an quick answer.
"Well, Haruno said to me that she was going to meet you for business. All I can guess that it was going to be something serious about their company." She calmly answer.
Oh, Well. Dante almost though she knew what happen in their company. It still a good guess thought.
"Oh you close-buds always share anything, huh?" Dante joked.
"We sure is, but sometimes in a while." Her answer does not come variant, but sure held more content that it was spoken.
In all curiosity, Dante won't push the matter as it was something of a close friend would do.
"Just go ask her if you want." Dante commented out an simple advice.
A simple nod returned from her. The room then felt into silent, just on about a second. That is, until a grown man mumble to himself.
"Wait, why did I'm here again..." Dante mumble.
Pay no heed, their attention averted back to the grown man, thinking what his stay for.
Quickly, his face changes from wonder, then turns into realization.
He shot a gaze to Hiratsuka, but not saying anything.
His gaze make her confused as of why he just looking at her without any words. She ask him
"What is it?"
Dante took her question, and responded by raising his palm backwards. As if he ask for a ransom.
"I'm here to ask your debt from yesterday, you know~"
Debt what?
Hiratsuka can't make any sense of his words. She certainly though the she never take anything from him. How did he say she had debt from him-
"Oh..."
She just realize it herself. Of course, he came because of her nonchalant premise she just blurt out. Of course. How could she forgot about it?
"So?" Dante took chance to ask seeing her reaction filled with realization.
"Eh?" Hiratsuka dumb-foundedly spoke without thinking.
She turn around her to see that her students were looking at her, interested on hearing about it.
"But I didn't say it today... " Even though she mumble low on voice, Dante can hear it clear.
Suddenly, Dante stood up. Taking his belonging like he was going to leave the place soon.
"Okay then, I guess I will just go back on another day."
He then walk to the door, but not getting pass it, because of certain voice stopped him.
"Wait!"
The voice was loud enough even for a deaf person to hear. The source was certainly coming from a grown woman, looking so desperate at the moment.
Dante turn around to look at her.
While her eyes froze on his, then in a matter of second it diverted from him.
Glancing eyes to eyes, he said
"And here I am."
Oh well,
He sure love to play around.
HEYYYYY, IMA BACK
