A cool breeze greeted us when the doors opened. I had to shield my eyes from the sudden gust of air. The site to which I opened my eyes to was that of Russian baroque extravagance. A 'princely' person sat on a throne flocked with what looked like his attendants.
"Dabro pazhalavat!"
So This was the Host club...But wait, where was the red haired one.
"Vich vun vould..." the one with black framed glasses began. He looked back to the one on the throne and pushed his glasses up, "Do I really have to speak like this?"
The one seated on the throne nodded his head. The black framed glasses guy took a breath and started again with an artificial smile, "Vich vun of us vould you like to book?"
"Oh I get it. Its like a real h-" Sonoko was about to say, but I cut her off.
"We're not here for games. We're here to see if our friend, Ran, is safe."
"She is safe. Of this, I am certain," one of the brown haired attendants spoke.
A guy that looked like the identical twin of the first brown haired attendant spoke next, "But you mentioned games..."
"And we like games," they synchronized.
Is this some sort of act...
The princely figure spoke finally, "Ah, so this settles it. If you can win the Hitachin brothers' game, we'll take you directly to your friend."
"This boy is really good at deduction games, mind you," Sonoko told them.
Geez! Thanks for blurting out my advantage.
"Oh that's perfect for our usual game isn't it, brother," the twins took up an intimate pose with clasped hands looking at each other in a pretty affected manner.
"It certainly is," their faces were very close to each other.
This school is full of awkward moments.
