Chapter Three: Rei's Visit To Tetsuko-Koji's Residence Part Two
We had last left off inside of Tetsuko-Koji's residence, where had treated the others to an ultra-exclusive view of his home. Upon their arrival, Tetsuko-Koji had waited for Koujo-Tsuta's group to catch up with them. Makoto and Minako had both complemented his home, and Rei was very impressed by what she had seen. Tetsuko-Koji had led everyone to his hangar. After inputting his Clearance Verification Identification Pin, he had let Rei and the others enter. Inside, the others were amazed at all the technology that surrounded them! That is, except for Koujo-Tsuta. He was jealous of Tetsuko-Koji, because he knew that Ami was impressed as well. As things went along, Tetsuko-Koji had given everyone a tour of his laboratory. During the duration of the tour, he still managed to be very affectionate with Rei. Which, by the way, created more tension between him and Koujo-Tsuta. It had gotten to the point where Koujo-Tsuta had tried to instigate against his own brother! As soon as he apologized to Tetsuko-Koji, he had received a punch! That of which, could have been a potentially fatal blow without the thermal suit. Tetsuko-Koji had managed to break his suit, so he had to tell everyone to leave. We now them as they exit Tetsuko-Koji's laboratory…
The laboratory was silent, except for the sounds of the hand returning to its robot and the computers functioning. Tetsuko-Koji had began to type up his work regimen on his super computer, he added 'Fix Koujo-Tsuta's thermal suit' onto the list. Rei was silently taking off her suit as she looked at Tetsuko-Koji type. She felt bad for him, because she knew that he was disappointed in Koujo-Tsuta, and in himself. When she put the suit back, she had walked over to Tetsuko-Koji and put her hand on his shoulder. He looked at her with a sad expression, but she smiled saying, "Hey. Don't be sad. You've still managed to impress me regardless of what had just happened. I would like to what your home looks like on the inside, Tetsuko-Koji." A smile had then slowly appeared on Tetsuko-Koji's face. He says, "Okay then, Rei." He faces the others and says, "Come on, you guys! We're going in the actual mansion!" They had all gotten excited exclaiming, "Okay!" They all had walked out as Tetsuko-Koji was logging out of the mainframe. He had then exited, inputting the pin to lock the hangar. He turn to the others saying, "Well, let's not waste anymore time." They all had followed Tetsuko-Koji into his home.
"Wow!" Had come out of everyone's mouths simultaneously. Tetsuko-Koji smiles asking, "What do you think, everyone?" Rei smiles saying, "Well, you seem to still have your love for technology, T.K." Tetsuko-Koji blushes slightly saying, "Yeah, but that's nothing…compared to my love for you, Rei." Rei turns crimson saying, "That's so sweet, Tetsuko-Koji." They share a kiss. Tetsuko-Koji looks at the others…but all of the other girls had big grins on their faces, so he ended up blushing even more! Rei giggles as she looks at Tetsuko-Koji. She knew that he had just realized what he had just done in front of all of their friends! "Um…you all can wander around. The Arcade Room and the Entertainment Room is straight on from this hallway into that one. My cooks are in the kitchen preparing dinner, please introduce yourselves; letting them know that you all will be joining me for dinner as my guests." Tetsuko-Koji said while pointing out the directions. He then said, "If you have any questions, I'll be in the Master Bedroom! You go up the stairs, and then you go left. It is the final door. Everything else you may see should be self-explanatory."
The others had all rushed straight to the Master Kitchen, to speak with the cooks. However, Rei stayed with Tetsuko-Koji. She asks, "Why didn't you give them a tour? What if they get lost, or break something?" Tetsuko-Koji smiles saying, "Trust me, there are ways for them to get lost. They may even break something. But I do have something to prevent all of that." Rei asks very curiously, "What, Tetsuko-Koji?" Tetsuko-Koji says, "Come follow me." They both walk into the Family Room, and Rei exclaims, "Whoa! This is the largest computer I have ever seen!" Tetsuko-Koji smiles even wider saying, "Rei, this is the most advanced computer in the universe. I know because I created it. Its speed and intelligence is completely and clearly unmatched! It controls everything! Even my items in the in my hangar, my laboratory, and my garage! It goes as far as to control my things back home on Mars!" Rei was stunned! All she could force out for a response was "Wow." Tetsuko-Koji says, "Rei, stand by me. I want to show you what my computer can do." Rei said, "Okay." She had then walked over to Tetsuko-Koji and says, "Show me." Tetsuko-Koji had looked at the console saying, "Master Computer Console Unit, Online!" Rei asks, "Tetsuko-Koji, how are you able to see everything on the screen…but still be close enough to type?" Tetsuko-Koji replies, "I have excellent peripheral vision, Rei." He then began to access his terminal, which led to the logging in process. The Master Console had then said, "Good afternoon, Mr. Minakami. I am online and fully operational. Input your demand anytime you wish." Tetsuko-Koji smiles saying, "Way to make a first impression, Master Console! This is Rei Hino. You do remember, don't you?" The console replied, "Yes, Mr. Minakami. I do. Hello, Ms. Hino. It's nice to have met you." Rei smiles shyly saying, "H-hi. It's nice to have m-met you." The console says, "Don't be shy. I won't do anything without Mr. Minakami's command, and I highly doubt that he would command me to do anything negative. Especially against you, Ms. Hino." Rei smiles more saying, "Okay, Master Console." The console says, "I sense confidence in your voice. You can confide in me your trust, trust me." Both Rei and Tetsuko-Koji laugh. Tetsuko-Koji asks, "So, Rei…what do you think of everything?" Rei says, "What you have shown so far has impressed me greatly. However, there is more I would like to see." Tetsuko-Koji asks, "Like what, Rei?" Rei says, "Your bedroom." Tetsuko-Koji's face flush into a deep crimson as he tries not to make any eye contact with Rei, who had laughed at the sight of Tetsuko-Koji's reaction.
Koujo-Tsuta and the others had all entered the Family Room, joining Rei…and a very embarrassed Tetsuko-Koji. Rei was trying to stop laughing, but she couldn't bring herself to do so. So Serina asks her, "Rei, what is so funny? We all came in when we heard your laughter travel into the Master Kitchen." Rei wipes away tears replying, "No. It's what I said to him…" She laughs as she explains. Serina says, "Okay, but what did you say?" Tetsuko-Koji says, "It's something personal, so please leave it at that." Serina says, "Then turn around, T.K." Tetsuko-Koji doesn't budge, so she walks up to him, seeing his red face. She says, "Oh…I get it now, Rei." She laughs as well. Rei says, "Tetsuko-Koji, I apologize." Tetsuko-Koji replies, "It's okay. I'm happy to know that I made you smile, even though it was at my expense. But your happiness is my priority, and I'm sticking to it." He then kissed Rei, who had then turned a shade of red. He whispers, "Now we're even." So then they all went into the Master Kitchen behind Tetsuko-Koji. He had then addressed his staff. "Everyone, please hurry dinner along. I know I would normally eat at seven, but today I have guests over. Thank you all for everything." The staff all acknowledge Tetsuko-Koji's request by saying, "Yes sir, Mr. Minakami." Tetsuko-Koji then says, "A.C.N. Unit, Online!" Assistance Console(s) Network The console replies, "Yes, Mr. Minakami?" Tetsuko-Koji says, "Stay functional for the staff. Display course meals, time, and all of the other usual tasks!" The console replies, "Yes, sir. Sequence Initiated!" Ami whispers to Rei, "T.K. sure does love his technology!" Rei smiles replying, "Yes, Ami. He does." Tetsuko-Koji turns to the others saying, "Let's all go to the Entertainment Room." They all followed him outside of the Master Kitchen, past the Family Room, into another corridor.
Rei and the others were all shocked to have seen the huge theatrical-like television! Koujo-Tsuta had explained, "Tetsuko-Koji and I worked together on this plasma screen television. He did the mechanics, and I had perfected the reception." Tetsuko-Koji said, "Yes, it's true. That's the one thing that we worked on together. Since you love television, I thought it would be nice if you could assist me. Koujo-Tsuta, could you show them all what channels we receive?" Koujo-Tsuta turns on the television saying, "I'm way ahead of you." The television had then turned on. 'This is the 5:30 edition of the channel six news! Now here's award-winning anchorwoman, Yumi Kotobuki! Hello, people of the kingdom of Mars. I'm Yumi Kotobuki. Today's top story…" Rei exclaimed, "What! You get channels from home, T.K.?" Tetsuko-Koji had smiled saying, "Yes, Rei. I receive all of the channels from there. K.T., turn to channel 158." Koujo-Tsuta flips the channel. 'Welcome to the soccer championships! The final game will be held here in the beautiful cherry blossom fields. Here in the Mizuno gardens of our kingdom! The game will start soon, so check it out here!' Ami says, "Wow! You have our channels, K.T.! That was gardens where we first met!" Ami had then kissed Koujo-Tsuta. Tetsuko-Koji picks up his remote saying, "Channel 320 is the first of the Jupiter networks." Makoto says, "Okay, Tetsuko-Koji." Tetsuko-Koji then says, "Channel 510 is the first of the Venus networks." Minako says, "Alright." Tetsuko-Koji then explains, "These channels are received through my Master Computer's satellite networks. The connection is then translated to my television, thus the interplanetary channels. The process is easier explained than it was to build. It took me a long time to translate all of the different signals all at once, but I did get around to finishing it. The part where Koujo-Tsuta comes in is when I needed him to fine-tune all of the transmissions. Without his help, I would not have been finished before today. So I thank you, Koujo-Tsuta. For everything." Koujo-Tsuta says, "It was nothing."
Six o'clock had rolled around very quickly as Tetsuko-Koji and the others all had gone into the Dining Hall to have a catered dinner. They were all impressed of the way Tetsuko-Koji and Koujo-Tsuta lived everyday. After dinner, they all had gone back into Tetsuko-Koji's Entertainment Room. They had all decided to watch programs broadcasted straight from Mars. It was obviously Rei's idea to do so, and so of course, Tetsuko-Koji had agreed. After that, he and Rei snuck out of the Entertainment Room…to go to his Master Bedroom. We now join the both of them right before they sneak out…
"Tetsuko-Koji, can I talk to you in the hallway?" Rei had asked suddenly. Tetsuko-Koji had replied, "Sure." They had both gotten out of their seats, and exited the Entertainment Room. After Tetsuko-Koji had shut the door, he had innocently asked, "What is the problem, Rei?" Rei had then turned around to face Tetsuko-Koji with a mischievous smile, saying, "I want to check out your bedroom, Tetsuko-Koji." Tetsuko-Koji had then turned crimson saying, "O-okay, Rei. L-let's go." With that, they had walked through the Family Room, and then they headed up the stairs. As soon as they reached the top, Rei had then dashed off to the final door on the left hand side. 'This is so embarrassing! She wants to view my room! I mustn't read too much into this, though. It could be something else on her mind, which would make me look very stupid in front of her if I reacted to the wrong idea. I hope it's the second one, and not the first.' Those thoughts raced throughout Tetsuko-Koji's mind as he unlocked his room for Rei to see. Rei had then exclaimed, "Wow! It's beautiful! It's also huge!" Tetsuko-Koji had then asked, "Why did you want to come here, Rei?" Rei had blushed and said, "Okay, Tetsuko-Koji. I'll confess. When I was watching T.V., a lot of dirty thoughts had crossed my mind. They were dirty thoughts about you and myself. I had hoped to rid my mind of them by leaving, but I didn't want to leave you in there. So I decided to try to convince you to talk with me, so I could let you know. I know that a princess should not express such knowledge about such unclean things, but you're my boyfriend, and I refuse to keep secrets from you. Because I know that you wouldn't ever keep a secret from me, right?" Tetsuko-Koji's face had deepened in its redness as he replied, "Right. Um…I must confess as well. You are not alone when it comes to having dirty thoughts, but I try to shake them off. Only because I know I'll do something I'll regret, and so I shake it off. I will continue to do so until we're out of high school. The regret I would have is getting you pregnant at the age of sixteen, and I wouldn't ever stop feeling guilty for putting you through that. I love you enough to wait, Rei. Please know that." Rei had then smiled, tears beginning to form. She had said, "Tetsuko-Koji, I love you." Tetsuko-Koji had smiled, and then embraced her, replying, "I love you too, Rei." They had then shared a kiss.
After that, they had exited Tetsuko-Koji's bedroom. They had walked downstairs hand in hand with a smile on both of their faces. When they had reached the Entertainment Room, the others were not in there. So they both checked the Arcade Room, where Koujo-Tsuta and the others had happened to be. We now join them as they enter…
"Well, well, well. Did you two have fun?" Koujo-Tsuta had asked jokingly. Tetsuko-Koji had replied, "Yes, Koujo-Tsuta. I think we did." Rei had then went over to Serina, Makoto, Minako, and Ami and started a conversation with them. Tetsuko-Koji had then walked over to a game and began to play. At eight o' clock, the Arcade Room's console had said, "Mr. Minakami, it is eight o' clock!" Tetsuko-Koji had said, "Already? Hey, everybody! Come on! We have to leave, it's already eight o' clock!" They all had complied with Tetsuko-Koji's request, and all had followed him as he exited the Arcade Room. As they walked through the Family Room, Rei had asked, "Do we have to leave now Tetsuko-Koji?" He had replied, "Sadly…yes. Your grandfather has gone unsupervised for three hours. We may have to see about him. You all don't have to go home, though. We can all do something fun, unless you all want to go home…" The others all had replied, "No!" Tetsuko-Koji says, "I guess we'll just have to do something then. But checking in on your grandfather is a priority." Rei says, "Right." They all exit the mansion, and go to the garage. After that, they all get into the same cars they came there in. Tetsuko-Koji had said, "Computer, Online!" The car computer had replied, "Hello, Mr. Minakami." Tetsuko-Koji had then started his car, and then he pulled out of his garage. He went down the familiar pathway, being followed once again by Koujo-Tsuta and his group. They had reached the gate, and then exited the technological wonderland that is Tetsuko-Koji's Residence.
I hope you enjoyed Part Two…Stay tuned for Chapter Four!
