Act 04: The Surprise
"Wait, so what are you still doing here again…mr…um…Ahirasaki right?"
Reina asked whilst she dusted Suuji as he stood up. Somehow she couldn't help but feel like a mother, seeing how her "boyfriend" seemed so useless by himself. Just hours ago, he was whining, and wouldn't get up from the floor unless she gave him a kiss, which she was rather forced to give. And now she was dusting his clothes which is making Suuji all happy and perky.
"Its Shirasaki…YUKI SHIRASAKI. And, I will be staying with you for the rest of the night, to make sure Suuji does his job of being a lover figure."
He replied while giving Suuji a thumbs up. Reina almost dropped to the floor after hearing that Mr. cosplay would be staying in her apartment. Which meant two men in her apartment, one tiny room, one couch, no sleeping mats, she has to share it with two people…MEN in particular.
"So don't you worry, I'll make sure Suuji does his job, and I'll record everything!"
He stated cheerily before grabbing Suuji by the hand and pulling him toward the only room in the apartment.
"You're not stepping anywhere near my room you pervert!"
Reina warned as she slapped Yuki's hand from Suuji's while pulling the figure towards her, acting all protective right now. After all, the guy practically costs a fortune and she doesn't want anyone handling him, not to mention putting a possible scratch on his skin.
"I knew my Reina loved me I love you too Reina I always will and I wont let any other men or women touch me I'm reserved just for you and only you!"
Suuji intervened and proceeded to hug Reina in a more or less passionate way, making her blush and at the same time lose her breath. Soon enough, Suuji lifted her up, bridal style and looked deeply in her eyes, making her feel rather sheepish and made her blush all the more.
"W—what…why are you looking at me like that for?"
Reina asked, trying to feel for the ground but was useless. Suuji was relatively tall compared to some of the guys she met and his gaze was really freaking her out to the most of it. Slowly bending down, her boyfriend was closing in on her before they felt the door creaking open, and with wide eyes Reina almost fell from Suuji's arms.
…
…
…
"Is that…Riiko-san, is that you?"
Yuki asked as she approached the lady who was standing near the door. Reina on the other hand couldn't believe who she was seeing and upon seeing herself being carried like that by Suuji, she pushed away immediately causing her to fall down on the ground and hurting herself.
"Are you okay Reina!?"
Suuji asked as he helped her up again, the girl merely nodded in response as she looked at her mother who was currently talking to the cosplaying vendor.
"Yuki…Shirasaki, right? Its been a long time."
Riiko greeted the man that approached before stepping inside her daughter's apartment and looking at Reina. The girl, was a bit surprised that her mother knew who the other guy was and was beginning to have wrong speculations forming in her head.
"He's your ex, isn't he mother!?"
"Of course not Reina! He's an acquaintance…"
"Lies…"
"It's the truth! But anyway, I brought you this."
"What's that mom?"
"Just look at it honey."
Riiko then handed her a small paper bag. Hesitantly, she took it from her mom and looked at its contents.
Peek.
For a while, her eyes widened and she twitched before looking at it again, and then again and then once again looked at its contents intently. She then looked at her mom with a cheery smile on her face.
"It's a hundred million yen. Use it wisely…and don't let your father find out."
Riiko stated as she looked at Suuji with a smile. Suuji merely blinked and sat beside Reina while looking at her mom intently as well. On the other side, Yuki was already rejoicing since the fee would be paid and he didn't have to give Reina a discount or anything like that.
"But how did…I mean…when did…I mean…why did…I mean…do you know Krono's Heaven?"
Riiko nodded.
"But how do you know about it mom?"
Reina asked.
"I had the same predicament you're in now."
"You accidentally bought a lover figure?"
"Yes."
"And you had to pay the same amount?"
"Indeed."
"And daddy doesn't know about it until now?"
"…"
A pause.
"You mean daddy found out?"
And then utter silence. Reina blinked.
"Actually dear, your father was very upset when he found out that…my first boyfriend was a doll. But I assure you Night was really the best boyfriend."
After that, there was a pause. Reina looked at her mother skeptically before raising an eyebrow, thinking of another question to ask, seeing that she was still a bit perplexed about this predicament.
"So you mean…this Night guy was better than daddy?"
She asked frankly. Riiko on the other hand seemed a bit hesitant to answer and just kept quiet. There was still a part of her that couldn't decide this, Sure Soshi was a good boyfriend, but Night was also a good boyfriend, and was the one who was always there when she needed someone.
"Mother, I cant believe you. Cant even choose between a man and a doll."
She scolded which left Riiko hanging her head. But then she heard a sigh coming from her daughter, which made Riiko looked at Reina, who was at the moment smiling at her.
"But its okay mom…really. I wont tell daddy about this…and, thank you, for the money."
Reina stated sincerely. She then tossed the bundle of money towards Shirasaki and glared at him.
"Now that I'm paid, GET OUT OF MY APARTMENT!"
She yelled and tossed some of the box parts on the floor at the cosplaying vendor who evaded it easily before getting hit at last, and with the actual box nonetheless. Reina then turned to Suuji quite sternly while he looked back at her like an innocent child, which made it hard for the young girl to continue on with the look.
"Suuji, now that you're staying here in my apartment…you have to behave. Understand?"
Suuji nodded before straying his eyes away from Reina in order to look at Riiko quite intensely.
"Don't worry mother, I will always protect your daughter."
Riiko couldn't help but giggle slightly, as she remembered Night from Suuji's behavior. Reina's mother nodded and then stood up catching her daughter's attention.
"I'll be going now Reina. Don't worry I wont tell your father either."
"Thanks…mom."
And with that Riiko left her daughter's house. For some reason, Reina couldn't help but feel some guilt for treating her mom the way she does, and thus decided to try and be nicer to her in the future.
