Chapter 7 – Russian roulette
"No, I absolutely refuse Kagami-kun." Kuroko had said for the millionth time during that day while Kagami had then sighed in exasperation before repeating the same sentence again.
"But we don't have any choice, do we?" Kagami and Kuroko then proceed to go into another stare down again for the millionth time that day while standing in front of a large, very prominent and famous high-class boutique.
The two of them had been arguing in that very same manner for almost half an hour now while passer-by's were staring at them with utter bewilderment and throwing them dirty side glances.
They continued their silent stare down until Kagami then sighed and palmed his face with his hands before looking back down towards Kuroko's stubborn gaze again.
This is getting nowhere, he had deemed with utter resignation before he then tried to find the right words to say to Kuroko in order to convince the other of the obvious solution to their situation.
"Look, Kuroko… We seriously have no damn choice, this isn't what I want either but it is part of the damn job, we're gonna have to dress up as much as none of us want to."
"I understand that Kagami-kun, but I am not dressing up as a female." Kuroko had said for the umpteenth time, since they had both received their mission description yesterday.
Apparently, Hyuuga and Riko had left out one very particular detail out of their mission requirements yesterday, which is, the fact that their fake identity requires them to act as a pair of high society married couple, in short, one of them is going to have to dress up as a female in order to act as the wife.
Kagami sighed again before he then uttered the next words slowly like he's trying to soothe a petulant child instead.
"Kuroko it's not that I don't want to help you, but there's no one else that can pull this off, please work with me here."
Kuroko only proceeded to frown deeply while staring back at Kagami with a defiant and stubborn gaze before uttering the next words as slowly as Kagami did.
"Kagami-kun, if you're so insistent on having me dressed up as a female then why don't you do it yourself instead?"
Kagami sighed loudly before ruffling his hair and uttering the next words with impatience and obvious frustration.
"Do I look like I'm gonna be able to pull off as a Mrs. Hayashi to you?"
Kuroko had only silently stared towards Kagami's 190 cms tall and bulky body, to be honest Kuroko knows that it is impossible to expect anyone to see Kagami as a female no matter how good of a dress or makeover they put on him, if they have dresses his size that is.
Still though, Kuroko is a man himself, and he will not be reduced to dressing up as a female no matter how many times Kagami will beg him to.
They were going to argue endlessly about the matter again when a female store clerk then suddenly called out to them from within the store's glass doorway.
"Excuse me sirs, is there anything I can help you with?" The female blonde clerk had looked towards both of them with a smile although her gestures seemed rather wary of the strangers that had been bickering outside her store for a good thirty minutes now.
Kagami and Kuroko had both looked up from their stare down towards the female clerk when Kagami then proceeded to clear his throat before speaking.
"Oh, we're very sorry. We were just trying to decide on what to wear for a party."
The store clerk seemed to relax at Kagami's assuring words before she then put on her brightest business smile and gestured for the two of them to come in the store.
"Oh, I can help you with choosing your attire if you want, please do come in and make yourselves comfortable!"
Kagami and Kuroko had no choice but to silently follow the store clerk in as she proceed to led them towards the suits section of the store before she then turned to them and start explaining the merchandises.
"These are the male's suits section, is there anything that you're looking for in particular? Maybe something like a formal business type suit or more like a casual type of outfit?"
"Uhh, well we're going to a formal party, so I'll probably take the formal one. Oh, and please help me choose something that I can easily move in." Kagami had said the last sentence on a whim as he then remembered why they were going to the party in the first place. After all, he didn't want his own attire to limit him during combat, in case they needed to take action or fight.
The store clerk then smiled and silently nodded in confirmation before she proceeds to choose one of the suits which she had deemed was Kagami's size and will suit the occasion.
"How about this one sir? The material is smooth and silky so it won't be too stiff to wear and it'll be easy for you to move around in, plus it suits for formal occasions."
Kagami proceeded to nod at whatever the clerk had picked for him. He didn't pay much attention to the design, because he doesn't give a shit anyways, he'll probably only wear it once in the entirety of his life and then stash it somewhere where he won't even remember within his closet.
The female clerk then nodded with satisfaction at Kagami's confirmation before she then turned her attention towards Kuroko instead and proceeded to ask him the same question.
"And what about you sir, do you want anything in particular?" The clerk had then turned towards Kuroko while silently waiting for his opinion.
Kuroko was about to answer for himself when suddenly Kagami had cut through Kuroko's sentence in a hurry.
"Oh, um, well, he won't be needing one, we'll need a dress for his sister instead, twin sister, she's not here at the moment but she's going to go to the party with me."
Kuroko had only looked towards Kagami with wide eyes that showed his utter disbelief at what the latter had just said.
The store clerk widened her eyes for a moment before she then smiled brightly again towards Kagami with mischievous twinkles in her eyes.
"Oh, that's so sweet of you! I get it, you're going to buy the dress as a surprise for her, it's so nice of you to go as far as taking her twin brother's opinion for that, I wish my boyfriend was as considerate as you." She then giggled before she started moving towards another section across the shop while gesturing for Kagami and Kuroko to follow her steps.
Kuroko voiced out his displease at what Kagami had said in a low voice as they were walking within a distance so the store clerk wouldn't notice.
"Kagami-kun, since when did you have the permission to make decisions on my behalf?"
Kagami had glanced towards Kuroko's direction with pleading eyes before he then replied with a low whisper towards Kuroko's demand as to not raise suspicion while he was walking in sync to the teal head's steps.
"Look, I'm really sorry Kuroko. I swear to God it'll be just one night, one goddamn night, just for this mission. I'll treat you to a month's worth of vanilla milkshakes once we get back. So please, bear with me."
Kuroko had to stay silent after that as they have then reached their destination which was the female dresses section of the store.
The store clerk then looked towards them with a bright smile while proceeding to ask Kagami on the specifics of the dress which he was looking for.
"So, what type of dress would you want for her? Something elegant or simple?"
Kagami didn't have to think much before he replied towards her enquiry with certainty.
"Uhh, I'll go for simple. Oh, and please also choose something easy for her to move in. She's not used to wearing dresses."
Kuroko had to subtly roll his eyes at the last sentence. Yeah, of course he's not used to wearing dresses; he's a man for God's sake.
It wasn't like Kuroko had accepted the idea of him dressing up as a female, but he knew Kagami also didn't have any choice in the matter either, and he knew that they were getting nowhere if neither one of them relented in the situation. And so, Kuroko could only sigh and bear with it.
The clerk had smiled with understanding on her face upon Kagami's words before she then proceed to ask another question.
"Okay so, simple, and what is her dress size?"
Okay, Kagami did not expect this question. He was flustered for a second before he then glanced towards Kuroko subtly while pretending to think deeply before answering.
"Umm, well… I hadn't really paid attention to her exact size but, umm, she has a similar build with her twin brother here, like really similar, not that much difference, so whatever fits him will probably fits her too." The store clerk proceeds to widen her eyes with uncertainty at the vague information she had just received before she then silently gazed towards Kuroko's direction while examining him closely.
Kuroko had to resist the urge to smack himself on the face. No, seriously though, why was this his life, what higher entity had he offended to be in this kind of situation.
The store clerk then smiles reassuringly towards Kagami before she then proceeds to speak towards him with an understanding tone.
"Okay, I will try my best in choosing the right size for her." She said as she then walks away from the two in order to choose a dress from the racks.
The store clerk then came back with two dresses; one was a bright silver colour while the other was a dark royal blue. She then lay the dresses neatly on the sofas that they have within the store before proceeding to turn her gaze towards the two and asking them of their opinion.
"I have chosen two dresses which I think would suit her and is also easy for her to move in, what do you think sirs?" Kagami had looked towards the dresses and remained silent for a while as he then try to choose between them both.
While he doesn't actually give a shit on appearances, he knows that Kuroko will kill him if he made the wrong choice and choose something too revealing or something that will feminize the latter. And so he had to choose carefully in order to appease the already pissed teal head.
Kagami had looked towards the silver dress and stared at it for a while, while the design is simple and nice, it is extremely revealing and the chest is too low cut to be safe, plus it has a really short skirt.
Yup, Kuroko will kill him if he chooses that one for the latter. He proceeds to dismiss the silver dress from his choice.
He then silently examined the next dress, which is the dark royal blue evening dress. The design on the dress is also simple, and the dress isn't too revealing on the chest, instead it proceeds to cover the entire chest area while choosing to take a low cut off the shoulders. The skirt isn't as short as the other one either; it's slightly longer reaching just above the knee area while having a tiny slit on the side so the dress is easier to walk and manoeuvre in.
And so, Kagami then settled with his choice.
"I'll take the blue one, thanks." The store clerk seemed to be happy with Kagami's choice as she then proceeds to take the silver gown back towards the racks while keeping the navy blue one within her arms along with Kagami's suit.
They proceed to purchase the suit and dress with the card that the Society had given them to cover for their mission expenses and managed to finally head out of the store with two bags of formal wear.
Now, they just need to buy their shoes.
Kuroko went home in the evening feeling very exhausted and worn out.
Not only he had to get dragged around in hunting for proper formal wear, he also had to deal with the fact that he was going to wear female attire towards their mission.
The whole thing was making his head hurt and he just wanted to go back to his bed and get some rest.
Kuroko proceeded to unlock the door to his apartment before he then stepped in his threshold and removed his shoes.
He walked in and was greeted with the pitter patter of footsteps while Nigou approached him from inside.
"Hey Nigou, I'm sorry for coming home late, I'll bring out your food soon, so please wait for me in the kitchen will you?" Kuroko had said towards his puppy who only replied back with an 'arf!' before the pitter patter of footsteps went towards the kitchen instead.
Kuroko managed to smile softly at his malamute puppy's understanding before stepping inside and heading towards his bedroom to stash the shopping bags which he had managed to procure today.
He proceeds to head towards the kitchen and prepared Nigou's food before he then opened his fridge and was thinking on what to have for dinner himself.
He is tired as hell but he knows he needs to eat, especially since the mission is only two days away now, he'll need to take care of his own health and make sure that he doesn't bring Kagami down in the mission.
Kuroko sighed as he looked over his fridge, he was about to grab some frozen lasagne to microwave when a bright light suddenly surrounded the entire kitchen.
Kuroko wasn't as surprised anymore at the sudden appearance of Kise Ryouta in his kitchen. The latter had been appearing unannounced too often within the last week for Kuroko to even pay any mind to it.
Kise proceeds to stand beside Kuroko and smiled as brightly as the sun before he then speaks towards the latter with his usual cheerful tone.
"Kuroko-cchi~ I missed you! Why didn't you call for me today? I could've helped you with choosing your dress." Kuroko's eyebrows twitched at Kise's last words before he then choose to shuffle past the blonde and went towards his microwave instead.
Kise pouted as his master ignores him before he saw what Kuroko was holding within his hands and proceeds to frown instead.
"Kuroko-cchi, you have to eat something healthy! It won't be good for your body if you keep on eating instant food!" Kise waved his hands frantically while trying to get Kuroko to listen to him.
Kuroko sighed before he then turned to look towards Kise and, just to spite him for his words, proceeded to press the on button for his microwave while staring straight at Kise's amber eyes.
Kuroko was tired and he doesn't care what he eats, as long as he eats it and then go to bed.
Unfortunately for Kuroko, another bright light then surrounds the kitchen, making both Kise and Kuroko to shut their eyes while waiting for the light to disappear. Once the light fades, standing between them both was Midorima with his usual stern look as he was wearing a pink polka-dot 'KUMA' apron, which is assumed to be his lucky item for the day, over his attire and fixing his glasses with his bandaged left hand.
Midorima proceeds to fix his gaze towards Kuroko instead as he then spoke with his usual apathetic tone, although this time it is tinged with slight disapproval.
"As much as I hate to agree with the noisy demon, he is right. Kuroko you need to take care of your own health and eat proper nutritious food. It won't be good for your body if you keep your current diet up."
Kise choose to ignore Midorima's insult of him in favour of nodding vigorously at Midorima's supporting words while staring at Kuroko with his frown and puppy dog eyes.
Kuroko palmed his face as he met both of his familiar's disapproving gazes at his meal. Out of all the times for them to actually get along and not fight for once, it just had to be now.
Kuroko knew that they only meant well though and so he could only sigh loudly as he proceeds to press the off button on his microwave grudgingly.
No lasagne for dinner then, he thought while taking the instant food out of the microwave and walking past both of his familiars to put it back in the fridge while looking at whatever else he has that is 'healthier' to eat and will obtain the approval of his two fussing familiars.
Kise and Midorima seemed to be happy at Kuroko's choice to abandon his lasagne while they then proceed to go stand next to Kuroko's side in order to see what the latter have in his fridge.
Kuroko still have a decent amount of food and ingredients from his last trip to the supermarket; it's just that he really doesn't feel like cooking right now.
Midorima proceeds to stare at the ingredients within the fridge and choose to reach out his hands past Kuroko's shoulders and grabbed at some meat, a couple of potatoes and vegetables before heading towards the kitchen counter and proceeding to open the shelves for proper cooking utensils.
Kuroko and Kise widened their eyes at Midorima's actions as he then start to dice the meat skilfully with professional speed before preparing it for stewing.
Midorima's gaze then turned to Kuroko as he spoke with his usual strictness while preparing the dish.
"Kuroko, could you start preparing the rice for the stew? It won't be too long until it's done."
Kuroko had managed to silently nod at Midorima's request before he then went to his rice cooker and starts to prepare the steamed rice.
Kise was watching Midorima with widened eyes before he then gazed towards the latter with something akin to admiration and respect and proceeded to smile brightly.
"Midorima-cchi! Where did you learn to cook like that? Please teach me how to do it as well!"
Midorima frowned deeply at the new nickname which Kise had just given him before he then silently glared at the latter who was unfazed by the hostile treatment he had just gotten from the green head.
"First of all, do not call me with that ridiculous nickname, and secondly, I have learned the basic skills of cooking from my countless hours of research within the libraries of the human world." Midorima silently fixed his glasses while stirring the stew with his left hand as he replied the blonde without taking his eyes off the cooking.
Kuroko joined in their conversation after he had finished with his task of preparing the rice as he then silently stood next to Midorima while watching him doing his task.
"Midorima-kun, could it be that was the reason why you hide your gem within the book?"
Midorima proceeds to answer the question thrown at him as he silently starts to insert the diced potatoes and vegetables inside the stew.
"Hmph, I find humans to be distasteful, but I find the countless scrolls and books that they have gathered throughout the ages to be quite interesting. I only seek for knowledge within this world and that is why I have spent most of my time secretly hiding within the sanctuary of the book while travelling across the world, that is, until I met you."
Midorima turned his gaze towards Kuroko as he finishes his sentence while Kuroko silently widened his eyes by a fraction before meeting the other's gaze right back with calm and clear orbs.
Yes, those were the eyes which had intrigued and captivated Midorima's attention, those eyes that were as clear as still water and yet holds a mysterious depth to them.
"Kuroko Tetsuya, you are different. I do not mind spending my days with you, even though you are a human."
Kuroko widened his eyes fully at Midorima's words before he then smiled softly at the words Midorima had uttered at him. They had shared gazes for a moment, before Kise's loud yelp distracted both of their attention towards the blonde.
"Eek! Kuroko-cchi, you dog peed on my trousers!" Kise yelped as Nigou silently stood by his feet, and indeed, Kise's grey trousers was stained wet on the ankles.
Kuroko managed to laugh out loud at that.
The two days went by quickly as Kuroko and Kagami was busy preparing for their mission, and at last, the long awaited day has come.
Kuroko was waiting for Kagami to come down from the latter's apartment as they had promised to meet up first to head somewhere before going to their mission. He didn't have to wait long as Kagami then proceeds to come out of the front door of his apartment building.
Kuroko waved at him so Kagami would notice him and then they started to walk towards the direction to the station to go to a certain destination.
"Did you bring your clothes?" Kagami had muttered the question towards Kuroko who was walking in step beside him.
Kuroko proceeds to look blankly at Kagami while muttering his reply.
"Yes I did Kagami-kun, you don't have to worry about that, and besides I'd rather worry about your habit of not being able to sleep before missions. What are you a kindergartener going on a school trip?"
Kagami scowled at Kuroko's words while rubbing his bloodshot eyes in the process. It was true though, Kagami couldn't sleep a wink at all last night. He was too excited and worried at the same time about their upcoming mission.
They proceed to walk the rest of the way towards their destination after getting off the station. It wasn't a far destination, and before long they have arrived at their place.
It was a small two storeys building with a sign at the top that reads 'M.R. Hair Gallery'.
Kuroko and Kagami went inside the building and waited at the front door. Before long, a man with silky black hair that falls just near the shoulders had walked from the back of the shop and proceeds to widen his eyes in recognition and smiled at his new customers.
"Oh my, if it isn't Taiga-kun and Tetsu-chan! It's been a while!" The man gushed over his customers while proceeding to usher them inside the currently empty salon.
"It has been a while Mibuchi-kun, we need your help for our mission." Kuroko proceeds to greet the man named Mibuchi as he walked inside the store with Kagami beside him.
Mibuchi smiled in understanding at Kuroko's words before he then went straight into the matter.
"Mmhmm, so what's the occasion?"
Mibuchi Reo is an excellent stylist and is also working with the Society in helping their members during missions by providing disguises and a make-over for cases like these.
Kuroko sighed loudly before he then proceeds to hand over the bag he's been holding towards Mibuchi instead.
Mibuchi took the bag and looked inside of it to find the attire that Kuroko is going to wear for the mission. His eyes twinkled with excitement as he then gushed loudly at the fact that he is going to help transform Kuroko into a female.
"Oh my! What an unexpected and excellent opportunity, let's get to work shall we?" He clapped his hands as he then proceeded to sit Kagami and Kuroko down on the chairs before he then started to work with their hair.
"So what is the mission about? Why the formal wear?" He had started a conversation as he worked with Kagami's hair first, since he didn't need to spend much time in fixing the redhead's looks.
"We're going to sneak in to a party on a ship, lots of upper class people, and there's going to be an auction in the midst of it. We're gonna attend the auction to see if one of the items there is a demonic vessel." Kagami proceeds to reply towards Mibuchi as the latter is applying gel in the midst of styling Kagami's hair.
Mibuchi silently nodded at that before he then turned on the blow dryer on low setting and started to air it towards Kagami's styled hair.
Once he was done with Kagami's look he then smiled at his creation and proceeded to tap the redhead on the shoulder.
Kagami was looking ravishingly handsome with his hair slicked back messily above his forehead. It had brought out the maturity and masculinity within his sharp features and has shown the fierceness of his deep maroon eyes clearly.
Kagami nodded in thanks to Mibuchi's assistance and has silently gotten up from his seat in order to go to the bathroom and change into his formal attire.
Mibuchi then headed over towards Kuroko who was silently waiting on his seat before he then started to look over the teal head's reflection from the mirror in front of him.
Now what shall he do with this grand opportunity, Mibuchi wondered as he kept looking over Kuroko's features while he started thinking and mulling over ideas to himself. He considered the dress which Kuroko had shown him and narrowed down his ideas into one.
Yes, that look would be perfect, he thought to himself as he then proceeds to smile brightly at Kuroko's reflection who had only gazed back at him with his blank stare.
Kuroko just wanted this to be over and done with; he's not too enthusiastic about the transformation of his appearance, so to speak.
Mibuchi silently started to rummage for the needed items within his salon trolley. He then brought out a net wig cap to put over Kuroko's head to steady and hold the wig in place.
As he finishes with putting the net over Kuroko's head he then started to go towards the back of his store to find the wig that he is going to use, meanwhile Kagami had managed to get out of the bathroom with his charcoal suit fitted perfectly in place.
The redhead looked his part, Kuroko had to admit, as Kagami silently approached his seat again while picking up one of the magazines from the salon's counter tops to read during his wait for Kuroko's make-over.
Mibuchi came back with a long silky black wig in his hands as he then started to work on putting the wig in place on Kuroko's head. When he is done with the task, he then started to work in styling the wig using his various tools of hair curlers and blow dryers.
Mibuchi then proceed to style the curls over to one side, draping them over Kuroko's left shoulder, before he then applied hairspray to keep the locks and curls in place. Once he is done with styling Kuroko's hair he then proceeds to rummage within his tray for the make-up tools instead.
He turned Kuroko's chair so that the latter is facing him while Mibuchi then grabbed one of the chairs to sit on while he's applying the make-up.
He started with the cleanser and toner first while telling Kuroko to close his eyes as he applied everything with a cotton pad. He then got his powder pack and proceeds to apply a soft moisturiser first before starting with the powdering.
Kuroko has a nice porcelain skin which makes it much easier for Mibuchi to work with as he then applied the blush on Kuroko's cheeks just to give it a soft rosy tint.
Now for the last part, Mibuchi thought to himself as he then grabbed the eyeliners and eye shadow kit as he then started to work with Kuroko's closed eyes. He started applying the eyeliner first before he then worked with the eye shadows to give Kuroko's eyes a smoky effect. He didn't need to do much on Kuroko's eyelashes other than applying simple black mascara over them since they were already long enough without the need of fake eyelashes.
Once he is done with that, he then started to work with Kuroko's eyebrows and colouring them with pencil just so it will match his wig's black colour.
Mibuchi then looked over his finished work and stared in awe. He has to admit, even for himself this is probably one of the greatest works that he's ever done.
He then proceeds to smile and tap Kuroko on the shoulders before speaking to the latter.
"Okay, it's done Tetsu-chan! Now let's help you into your dress shall we?" Kuroko opened his eyes and sighed wearily before proceeding to get up from his seat and following Mibuchi to the private area of the shop which also serves as Mibuchi's office.
Kagami was getting bored in his seat as he flipped over through his magazine which he had barely even read. He was feeling the effects of going without sleep from last night, his eyes were tired, and so he then closed them in an attempt to at least rest a little before he actually had to go to the mission.
The back door of Mibuchi's office then clicked open as Mibuchi stepped out of it while smiling rather brightly as he then waited for his customer to step out from the door.
Mibuchi then looked over at Kagami and called out to him as Kuroko stepped out from the room and proceed to walk towards the main salon area as well.
"Taiga-kun, it's done."
Kagami then opened his eyes wearily as he then fixed his gaze ahead of him. What he saw had made his eyes widened in complete shock and his mouth to open in a gape. The magazine he has been holding in his hands had nearly dropped to the floor. Sleep has been wiped away from his mind.
Kuroko stood there in the royal blue evening dress which Kagami had chosen for the latter. His wig's black tresses are cascading down towards the left side of his exposed shoulders. He was wearing the simple black flats which he and Kagami had chosen to match the outfit he currently wore and is also easy for him to walk and run in, in case they needed to.
Kuroko Tetsuya is looking absolutely gorgeous; there is simply no other word to describe him other than that. While he makes a rather plain and nearly invisible man, the one that is standing in front of Kagami at the moment simply takes his breath away.
Kagami slowly got up from his seat while keeping his eyes at Kuroko's form without breaking his gaze. He seriously didn't expect for the other's transformation to actually work this well. This is beyond his expectations and Kagami tried to voice it out.
"Wow, Kuroko you look… wow."
Kuroko turned his head towards Kagami while frowning deeply as he then raised his hand in an attempt to stop the other from speaking any further.
"Kagami-kun, don't start."
While Kagami is rather pleased by Kuroko's appearance, the latter had actually felt the opposite way about it.
Kuroko is very conflicted about his current situation, while he is glad that Mibuchi had managed to make him look convincing enough to pull of their mission, he is also rather upset at the fact that he had to dress up as a woman, and managed to look like a real one at that.
Kuroko is silently seething towards himself at the dilemma he is currently facing and his mood shows through his eyes. Kagami then proceeds to clear his throat and decided not to say anything to anger his partner further.
An angry Kuroko is not someone that you would want to mess with, and Kagami had to learn that fact the hard way in the past.
They proceed to say their thanks to Mibuchi who had escorted them out of the shop while wishing them luck and holding on to their previous clothes until the two of them get back from their mission.
Kagami managed to hail a taxi from the sidewalk as he and Kuroko then proceeded to ride their way towards their next destination.
The taxi had dropped them off near the port where their ship would depart within an hour.
Kagami and Kuroko started to walk towards the port while searching for any signs of the ship's location. It wasn't hard to locate the ship, after all the grand cruiser is one of the largest ships that roams the seas of their country.
The two then proceeds to silently walk and join in with the small crowd that had formed a line in order to gain entrance into the ship. A couple of the faces there were recognizable from TV's and social media and so forth. It had really made the entire situation to slowly sink in deeper into their consciousness.
This is it, they were really doing this, and once they were inside the ship there will be no backing out of it. Kagami and Kuroko hold their breaths as they then stepped forward as the next in line to be admitted into the ship.
The male security staff had smiled politely towards the both of them before asking for their tickets and proof of identity, to which Kagami had then handed over towards the security staff to be inspected thoroughly.
The security staff seemed satisfied with their documents and had returned it towards Kagami before proceeding to bow his head towards the both of them as he then raised his hand and gestured for the two to board the ramp towards the ship.
"Welcome to the S. S. Teikou, Mr. and Mrs. Hayashi, please mind your steps as you board the ship."
