"So since you are in charge of our weekend," Richard stated. "I hope it's something better than the local chess tournament."
"Chess is a very intellectually stimulating game," Onyx protested.
"Oh it was fun," Richard shrugged. "I liked the little black piece that looked like a horse."
Pewter facepalmed, "That was a knight."
"Oh yes," Richard nodded. "That one guy took all of my knights. It was my first game too. I haven't played chess before that weekend."
"Maybe tell us beforehand," Onyx pointed out. "And your weekend could have been better."
"But Robin is going to make up for that," Richard said. "I didn't really mind the chess tournament."
"Well," Robin said. "I didn't have a place to take you that would take up the entire weekend. But we can spend tomorrow preparing for Professor Kesar's test."
"I suppose there aren't any chess tournaments going on?" Richard asked Onyx.
She shook her head, "Nope."
"Rats," Richard sighed. "But where are we going?"
"Coquelico Cafe," Robin answered. "My parent's cafe."
"Whoa," Richard glanced at his partner. "We are already to the point in teamship of meeting parents."
Robin rolled his eyes, "Just try to be on your best behavior, Richard."
"Why single me out?" Richard protested.
"Why?" Robin glanced at Onyx and Pewter who were quietly discussing their placing in the chess tournament.
"Point taken," Richard nodded.
"Point given," Robin smirked. "Here it is."
The team pushed through the doors of the corner cafe. There were a few customers still hanging around after the lunch rush, but not many.
"Welcome to…" a voice boomed. "Well as I live and breathe! Robin, my boy!"
Robin stepped forward giving an oof sound as his father embraced him in a bear hug. A woman ran out from the kitchen area.
"Robin!" she joined the hug.
The rest of Team Opera stood awkwardly as the family reunited. At last Robin was released and they were noticed.
"Is this your team?" his mother smiled.
"Yes."
Robin introduced them one by one. Soon they were at a table eating the Coquelico's famous mozzarella sticks and hot brown sandwiches. Robin's father, Phoenix, was discussing one of his stories from back when he and his wife, Honey, were Hunters.
"Dear," Honey placed her arm. "Let's hear about their lives now. It isn't every day Robin brings in his team."
"You're right," Phoenix smiled at his wife. "Tell us everything."
Robin smiled and glanced at his team. Richard had a mouth full of mozzarella stick and was grinning widely. Onyx was politely eating her sandwich and Pewter was listening intently. This was going to be a great afternoon.
