Holding on tightly to what you have
Part 5
That night, Hideki visited the manager's room. He had no clothing for Chii to wear on a day trip. "Is Chii-chan going by herself?" Hibiya asked as they looked through her closet.
"Un... with the store manager of Chiroku." Hideki explained, "It's a convention... Um, for work!" He lowered his face so that she could not see the uneasiness in his expression. 'Of course it's for work! Why then...?!'
"I think this might work." Hibiya said, holding up a sleeveless yellow summer dress, "Chii-chan, what do you think?"
"Chii!" she happily replied, going to accept the clothes.
'The more I think about it...' Hideki said to himself as Chii went to change behind a screen, 'How does Kanrinin-san have such cute clothing that just happen to fit Chii perfectly...?' He looked over to Hibiya, who just smile. 'It must be a coincidence.'
Chii came out, looking so adorable that both Hideki and Hibiya gasped, "Wow, so cute!" Chii of course blushed, happy that Hideki liked it.
"Tomorrow, what will you be doing, Motosuwa-san?"
"Ah, I have to study for a mock test. I think Shinbo will come study with me."
"I see... Maybe you boys can help me with something..."
"Eh? Something? What?"
Hibiya smiled. "It's a secret."
'EH?!?!' Hideki thought as he and Chii walked out into the hallway. 'Wait a minute... it can't be... THAT?!'
"Chii??" Chii looked at him, wondering why his face was all red. "Hideki..."
'But wait... she said also with Shinbo... Kyaaa, that can't be it! Shinbo has Shimizu-sensei... Or he had Shimizu-sensei... Maybe it's not a good idea after all... Maybe we should just concentrate on studying!!'
"Hideki..."
"UWAAAAH!!!" Hideki ran into a wall. Chii rushed over to help him, but he got embarrassed and backed away from her. "Daijoubu daijoubu!! Don't worry about me, Chii!"
"Chii..." she uttered, as he rushed upstairs. 'Why is Hideki avoiding Chii?' She stared down at the yellow dress in her arms. 'Maybe Hideki doesn't want to be around Chii anymore...'
Hideki stopped at his door, panting. 'Chii is going together with Ueda tomorrow. I can't help but be worried... I should stop her, tell her I don't want her to go - I am her master after all, but... I want Chii to make her own decision...'
* * * * * * * * * * *
The next morning, Hideki woke up to see that Chii was already getting ready for her day trip. He was surprised that she got up before he did and now was in that yellow dress. Hideki put away the futon and changed into jeans.
"Chii, could you take this with you?" he asked, handing her the object.
"What is this?"
"It's a camera. You can take pictures with it. All you have to do is look in here at what you want to picture, then hit this button. If you're in a dark room, you hit this button and there will be a flash."
"A flash... of light..."
"Hai! You try it okay?"
Chii took the camera and looked at Hideki. She hit the button and took a picture of him. "Where is the picture of Hideki...?"
"Oh, oh! When the film is done, we'll go develop it." Hideki assured her, "Together, okay?"
"Un!" Chii replied. She stopped to hear a knock at the door. "Is that..."
"Must be Ueda... already? He sure is early." Hideki said, going up to the door. But when he opened it, Sumomo flew at him and landed on his face. "UWAH?!"
"Ohayou gozaimasu~!"
"Yo Motosuwa!"
"SHINBO!!!" Hideki exclaimed, "Get this thing off my face!!!!"
"KOWAI!!" Sumomo cried, leaping back at her master, "He's a scary person!!!"
Shinbo took off his shoes and sat down at the table. "Motosuwa, hope you don't mind I came early. We've got a lot of studying to do after all."
"Aa... But Shinbo, are you okay? How's the shiner?"
"My eye? Oh, it's okay. Have you eaten yet?"
"I was about to," Hideki said, sitting next to his friend, "Why do you ask?"
"Kokubunji invited us over for brunch, if we wanted to..."
"That rich kid?!" Hideki gasped, "In his big house, with all those persocons in dominatrix outfits?!"
"Well, if you don't want to..."
"Of course I do! Let's go!!!" Hideki exclaimed. He turned to Chii. "But first we'll wait until Ueda shows up."
Chii frowned. 'Hideki really wanted to do other things today...' She went over to pour tea for their guests, but couldn't help but think about how Hideki was trying to get rid of her. But she started to miss the cup.
"Ah! Chii, look out!!" Hideki cried, quickly moving out of the way. But it was too late. She already poured some in his lap. "Ah, Chii..." he sighed.
Shinbo could help but laugh. "Motosuwa... it looks like you wet your pants."
"Oi!! You shut up before I give you another shiner!"
"H-Hai, Motosuwa-sama!!"
Hideki went over to look for another pair of pants. Chii rushed over to him, feeling terrible over what she did. "Chii is very sorry..."
"It's okay, Chii." He replied, patting her on the head, "I know you didn't do it on purpose."
"Still..."
But then there was another knock at the door. "Shinbo, could you get that? It might be Ueda."
"Ah!" Shinbo opened the door. "Welcome to Motosuwa's apartment~! Ah, Hibiya-san!"
"EH?!" Hideki cried, dropping his pants in surprise. He stood there in his boxers, looking embarrassed.
"Ara, Motosuwa-san..." Hibiya uttered, "Maybe I'll come back another time."
"No, no, no! What is it??" he asked, pulling up his pants and hopping towards her while buttoning up, "I mean, we can help!"
"Its just there's a young man outside pacing in front of the apartment complex for the last hour. I thought he might be a friend of yours."
"Heh?? Masaka!" Hideki went over to the window. "It's Ueda! What is he doing??"
So, Hideki, Chii, Shinbo, Sumomo, and Hibiya all went outside to check on him. "Ah... everyone..." Ueda uttered, "Ohayo..."
"What are you doing? Pacing in front of my place for the last hour??!" Hideki asked.
"Oh, well I came a bit early. And I thought that you might be still getting ready. So I didn't know what to do..."
"You should have come inside anyways. Ah, but Chii is all ready to go, so don't worry about it."
Chii looked to Hideki. "Chii is going now."
"Have a good time, Chii."
"Chii!" Chii turned and slowly walked over to Ueda. "Please take good care of Chii today, Tenchou..."
"I'll do my best." He stammered, "We'll be back before it gets dark, okay. Later, Motosuwa!"
"Ah! Take care!" Hideki said, waving his hand. He watched as the two turned away and started to walk down the street together. He let out a sigh. "It's hard... Letting her go on her own... But somehow I felt that I had to..."
"Don't worry," Shinbo said, patting him on the back, "She'll be fine. And Ueda seems like a good guy."
Hibiya nodded. "Don't worry about Chii-chan... For now, you two boys want to help me with something?"
"EH?!?!" Hideki backed away, his face all red.
"With what?" Shinbo asked, following her inside.
"OI! SHINBO! WAIT FOR ME!!" Hideki called, chasing after him. He stopped and saw that they had already went into the manager's apartment. He gulped and went inside. "Ano... UWAH?!" He saw a great hole in the wall. "NANI KORE?!!?"
"Oh, I had a little accident last night." Hibiya uttered, looking somewhat embarrassed, "Could you please fix it? I'll pay you for it."
"Iiyo!" Shinbo replied, "I'll do it for free!"
"No I must..." Hibiya looked over to Hideki. "Oh, but you haven't paid your rent yet, so how about I just deduct a portion..."
"Arigatou!!" he said tearfully.
* * * * * * * * *
"You're late." Minoru noted, when the two finally arrived at his house, "No bother. I'll have the food brought out."
"Sorry, Kokubunji." Shinbo replied, "Next time, we'll invite you over. Ah, but what is this new software you wanted to show me?"
"Ah. Yuzuki..." he said, calling over his favorite persocon that resembled his sister. "Show Shinbo-san the new rain-shield that just came out in the market.
"Hai, Minoru-sama." Yuzuki put on a pendant and flipped a switch. The other persocons came over with a garden hose and aimed at her, but none of the water touched her. There was a translucent force field surrounding her.
"Cool! Where can I get one for Sumomo?"
"I'll show you the shop after we eat." Minoru said, as the persocons went away and Yuzuki joined them at the table. "Will you be needing one for Chii-san, Motosuwa-san??"
"Aa, well..." Hideki was in the middle of eating a croissant. He bashfully put it aside and said, "I think Chii would love one!"
"It costs 145,000 yen."
"NANI?!!?"
"But there is a special - buy one get one free. Maybe you and Shinbo-san can split the costs."
"What did you do with your other one, Minoru-kun?"
"Oh... I gave it to someone..."
"Someone?" Shinbo and Hideki repeated, "Who?" Minoru just held up his cup for more tea and didn't say anything else. 'How suspicious...' they thought.
After brunch, the three of them with Sumomo and Yuzuki took a stroll in Shinjuku. "The computer store is nearby." Minoru said. He stopped to see that Shinbo was looking at another store. "What is it?"
"It's... that pawn shop." he replied, "Where Takako's husband sold his persocon."
"Heh? Honto?" Hideki looked up at the place, then to his friend with worry. "Shinbo...?"
"I want to see! What kind of persocon it was that made Takako unhappy!" Shinbo exclaimed, racing into the store, dropping Sumomo in the process.
"Master?? Wait!" Sumomo cried, fortunately caught by Hideki's hand. He and the others all raced in after him. Shinbo was at the table, talking with the store owner.
"WHAT? You never got a persocon like that?! Are you sure??"
"I'm positive. Never received that model."
Shinbo looked over to the others. "That means...!"
