Chapter 12: Weekend Party and Coming Home?
"Alright, here we are." I said.
"Man, that looks so big!" Draco shouted.
"I know. But it can't beat my mansion's size though." Raffina said.
"You own a mansion?" I asked Raffina.
"Yeah. Pretty cool, right? I'm rich, you know? Nobody can outdo the most famous rich girl in Primp."
"Right… that explains."
"Hey, I could've bought you a mansion too. But, I don't think I could pay that much."
"Yeah, well my mom can't either. If we won a ton of money, then we could buy one. But I don't think we need a lot of bedrooms because who would want those bedrooms?"
…
"You must be right."
"I could've done so." Amitie said.
"Really? You would own one of those bedrooms?" I asked her.
"Yeah. It can be cozy. I can add some theme into it, make it more special. I can add some flowers, maybe decorate some puyos. All of that." Amitie said.
"Wow… then you would've been hogging all over it my dream mansion."
"Well… I wouldn't do that." Amitie said.
"You might get ahead of yourself, Amitie. Remember that." Witch said.
"But don't worry. When we buy a house one day, I wouldn't mind decorating it." Arle said.
"Really?! Thanks, Arle! I knew I could rely on someone."
"Tch! I don't think she can overcome my decorating skills. I wish to make it more beautiful. You know, have some roses, have a picture of a fountain, you know." Raffina said.
"Hey, if you're done talking "decoration", can we get a move on, so I can have my peace?" Schezo asked.
"Yeah I think we're taking up too much time talking about decorations. Now then." I said as I opened the door to let myself in and everyone else.
"Wowie! It looks so nice here!" Harpy shouted.
"Thank you, Harpy. It kinda does to me." I said to her.
"Yeah. It smells good here too. I wonder if someone used a spray to make this place smell good." Raffina said as she can smell this place.
"Anyway, where's that attic?" Schezo asked.
"Geez, you are so impatient. Once you reach the end of the hallway, on your way to your left, keep walking up the stairs and it's right there." I said.
"Hmph. In that case, I shall finally get my rest." Schezo said as he walked towards the attic.
"This guy never has any fun. But I'm gonna make him have fun sometime later." I said.
"Yeah, that's true. He's not gonna try and be a party pooper this time around." Arle said.
"Yeah. So my house has three bedrooms, One bathroom, one attic, and one patio. You might not think of it as huge of a house, but due to its size, it really is." I explained.
"How odd. It must've been the bedrooms that made the size bigger." Maguro said.
"Right. I never expected it to be big. Maybe it needs a little bit of shrinking. But I just gotta go with it." I said.
"Ok. So what do we do? Drop these people off?" Raffina said.
"Yeah. Raffina and Witch are with me. Everyone else, just stay inside." I said.
"Ok." Everyone else said as me, Raffina and Witch we're heading outside.
"Ok. So what do you wanna do?" Witch asked.
"We have to get some food and some board games. We need to make sure that everyone has fun and I don't have to be bored going forward over the weekend."
"Yeah, that's true. There's no way you can stay home starving, right? So let's try to get food and some board games and head back." Raffina said.
"Ok. So, are there any board games around here in the grocery store? Because if not, then we gotta take multiple ways."
"Well, there is a plaza here in Primp. That way, we don't have to worry about going to get food from the grocery store and then just walking all the way over to the plaza."
"Ok, perfect. So why don't we just head over there and get the stuff that we need and we might be good to go for now?"
"You know where it is?" Witch asked.
"Yeah. I saw it when I first got here. It should be pretty easy to find."
"Ok. Make sure to bring alcohol too while we're down there." Witch said with a grin on her face.
"A-Are you insane?! W-Why would I bring that stuff?!" I asked her.
"Ohohohoho! I'm just teasing you. This may be my first time seeing you embarrassed."
"*giggle* Kaze's embarrassment: Volume 2."
*POW*
"Ack!" Once Raffina said that, I kicked her in her left leg hard, just to make her be quiet from my embarrassment.
I really meant that when I said I would kick her. They just love teasing me so much. I then left her and Witch behind just to get to this plaza that we have to go to.
"Man, Kaze sure has some strong legs. I wonder why." I heard Witch say. But I ignored her.
"She… R-Really does." I then heard Raffina say, still trying to recover from that kick in the left leg that I sent her.
We now arrived at the plaza where there were a lot of stores, (most of them were clothing stores) and it looked kinda tall. Almost the size of most of the plazas back in the United Kingdom.
"This place is huge." I said.
"I know. Tell me about it. I'm kinda shocked to even look at it in the first place. This is actually my first time going." Witch said.
"This is your first time?" I asked.
"Yeah. Our world never had a plaza. I wish we had one, but we never got one."
"That's really a shocker. No wonder how you ended with just land." Raffina said.
"Well, it was not just land. There were some buildings there. It's just only grocery stores." Witch said.
"No wonder how Arle ended up there. I could've just taken her to Primp in order to survive. We have a huge environment that has food and clothes. It's just standard.
"Well, she has others to rely on. They can have a standard life too if they have money to buy food and clothes. But I wonder why they are gonna just spend their lives inside a forest. There's no reason for them to freeze outside. Otherwise, it'll be worse for their health." I said.
"Well, you're right, Kaze. I'm thinking Raffina would do such a thing." Witch said.
"W-Why me?!" Raffina asked, looking shocked.
"You're rich, right? I bet you have the guts to grind up money to buy us a new home."
"I-I would never do such a thing! It's my money, so I can do whatever I want with it."
"Well… Yeah. True."
"So where's this grocery store at?" I asked.
"So the grocery store is left, while the store with board games is next to it." Raffina said.
"Alright, so let's split up. Why don't you and Witch get the food while I find us some games?"
"Sounds like a plan." Raffina said.
"I agree." Witch said.
"Alright, here." Raffina said as she lended me $75 for the games. "And make sure to bring my cash back too."
"Ok I'll do that. Geez. You're so rich." I said as we all headed to our destination.
*20 Minutes Later*
"So how did it go?" I asked.
"It was not too shabby. I brought cupcakes, drinks and two HUGE boxes of hamburgers and hot dogs for everyone to eat, along with mustard and Ketchup. Pretty cool right?"
…
…
…
"You know this is not an eating competition, right?" I asked.
"What? We can't leave everybody starving, right?" Raffina asked.
"I wanted to disagree, but I decided to stick with it." Witch said in which she was wanting to say no to that idea.
"Well… that's true. I don't want to leave everyone bored anyways. Anyway, I bought the game, "Monopoly", "Jenga Quake", "Connect 4", The Lie Detector test game…"
"YES! I really love that game." Witch said in excitement.
"You do?" I asked while looking surprised.
"We used to play that game back in Witch School. It was one of the most funniest games ever."
"Wow. I'm surprised you play that. I kinda liked it too. So what's remaining are "Prove it", and "Trouble"."
"Ok. I can work with that." Raffina said.
"But for the lie detector test, it requires batteries, so I'm gonna run back to the store and…"
"Don't worry, Witch. I have batteries. I got them from the cashier. He told me that it requires batteries so he said that I can have them for free."
"Wow. Ok. That sounds odd. But ok."
"Yeah… so I wonder who can cook."
"Well, I remember TaruTaru said he can. So let's give him a chance." Raffina said.
"Alright. So that's all we have? Food and Games? Alright, let's head back now." I said.
"Ok." Witch and Raffina both said.
We arrived back at my house where we got the food and the board games. So now we have everything we need for all of us to have a good time.
"We're back everyone!" I shouted.
"Oh, hey! Welcome back! Did you get everything?" Arle asked.
"Yes, we got the stuff right here. There's cupcakes, drinks and Boxes of hot dogs and Burgers. And this was all Raffina's idea."
"Y-You didn't need to remind me!" Raffina said while being embarrassed.
"Are you trying to gain weight?" Draco asked.
"WHAT?! NO?! What is wrong with you?!"
"Draco, please think to yourself before saying stuff like that." Witch said.
"S-Sorry, Wicchi."
"So I brought Jenga Quake, Connect 4, Monopoly, Lie detector test game, Prove it, and Trouble."
"I'll play Jenga Quake." Draco said.
"Me too." Harpy said.
"I'll play as well." Amitie said.
"Ok… the rest of you can play what you want. The people who are up for the lie detector test game can follow me. TaruTaru, you said you can cook, right?"
"Yes. You want me to cook what you have?" He asked.
"Yes, please. You don't have to cook a lot though. Just make sure it's enough for everyone."
"Alright… so, are you gonna play, Raffina."
"Nah, I'm gonna play Monopoly. It sounds like fun."
"Alright. So the rest of you can play what you want. Follow me if you're playing the lie detector test game. I bet Witch is gonna play."
"You know it." Witch said.
"Alright, I'm coming." Chico said.
"I'll come too. I'll be back, Carby." Arle said.
"Ok." I said as I escorted them to my room where we can play this game.
"Ok, so how do we play?" Arle asked while we all sat down on the floor.
"So the rules apply that one player has to give a question to the other player with the lie detector. And that player must try to tell the truth while answering that question and while your hand is on the lie detector. If you actually tell the truth while your hand is on the lie detector, you are fine. If you tell a lie, you will get electrically shocked. Not just shocked, like you just got shocked by lightning, but just shocked. And the player who just got shocked, has to ask another player, who has the lie detector a question. The player, who just asked the previous player with the lie detector, has to ask another player a question if the previous player with the lie detector told the truth. And we're going clockwise. So on my left." Witch said, having my back.
"Ok I see what you're saying." I said.
"Ok, I get it." Arle said.
"Ok. I understand now." Chico said.
"Alright, so who wanna go first?" I asked.
…
…
…
"I hate you all. I guess I'll go then." I said, putting my hand in.
"HA! Got ya, twerp!" Witch mockingly said. The others giggled.
"Whatever. Are you gonna ask me a question?" I asked.
"Yeah. Let's get started. So…
…
…
Would you unfriend… Amitie or Draco?" Witch asked.
"Hm…" I took my time to think about this question.
"Well I wouldn't bother Amitie. She's really nice." Arle said.
"Yeah. She has relied on me since day 1 when I got to Primp Magic School. Draco on the other hand, she's kinda nice, but sounds immature." I said.
"Yeah, she kinda does." I said.
"Or she could be lying about Draco's immatureness. I saw her not caring about her behavior." Chico said.
"Well, I kinda was not. But Draco does sound like a kid when she knows she is a teenager. Amitie is just A-Ok." I said.
"Yeah. But you also could be lying." Witch said.
"I mean if that's what you think." Arle said.
…
…
…
"I'm gonna go with… Draco. Only because Amitie is the only person that has my back more than Draco because Draco does not do much when I ask her for her help. And she just acts immature. I still like her though." I said.
"Ok." Chico said.
"Ok." Arle said.
"Ok… If that's what you say." Witch said as I pressed the start button.
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
*DING*
"Ok, so you're telling the truth. Alright." Witch said.
"Alright. Good job." Arle said.
"Thank goodness." I said as I took off the lie detector.
"Your turn, Witch. Now I gotta ask you a question." I said to Witch.
"Alright, what would you like to ask me?" She asked as she put her hand on the lie detector test.
"Ok, so you told me that you went to Witch Magic School, right?"
"Yup. I still go there."
"So is it true that you are still trying to improve making your own potions?" I asked her.
"Yes I do."
...
"Ok. Why? You gotta at least give some detail." I said to her.
"I've seen you screw up many times while making some expert potions." Arle said.
"That's because I was trying to ask people for their stuff. Other people wouldn't listen to me." Witch said.
"Well, it's true. But sometimes, they wouldn't like it when you steal their stuff because maybe they would want those really badly, and it's important."
"I agree with Arle. Sometimes, it can be that they really need them or it might be just important for them. Another option could be that you could go to stores for them." Chico said.
"Well yes I could go to stores for them, but I still need them from most people. It's still my only choice. Otherwise, how could I become an expert at these stuff?"
"You are an expert at making potions, Witch." Arle said.
…
…
"So I'm gonna have to say yes I'm still trying to improve making my own potions. I may not find a lot of ingredients, but I'm still getting the hang of making my own potions, even if I fail once." Witch said as she pressed the start button.
…
…
"I bet she's lying." I whispered.
…
…
…
*DING*
"See? Nothing wrong with it." Witch said as she took off the lie detector.
"So now it's your turn, Chico." I said to her.
"O-Okay." She said as she put her hand on the lie detector.
"Okay, so now I gotta ask her a question." Witch said.
…
…
"So who do you care about more? Yourself or Dragon?"
"Dragon?" I asked.
"Oh… I forgot to tell you that Chico has a pet dragon. Hence his name. I was kinda surprised when I first saw her with it. She forgot to bring him on purpose because she claimed that she didn't want to cause havoc here in Primp." Arle explained.
"Oh, I see. Understandable." I said.
…
…
"I would have to say… Dragon. Because, not only do I care about myself as a whole, but Dragon is the only pet that I care for the most. He's cute. He trusts me. He even tries to protect me when I'm there. So I return the favor to him. So I have to say Dragon." Chico then pressed the button.
…
"I guess she's serious about it." Arle said.
"Yeah I agree." I said.
*DING*
"Wow!" Chico said as we clapped at her.
"Alright, Arle. You're up." I said.
"Ok. It's totally my first time doing this." Arle said as she put her hand on the lie detector.
"Ok, Arle. Is it true that… you want to be the wife of Satan?" Witch asked.
*SLAM*
Witch then held down Arle's hand.
*SWIPE*
Arle then swiped and took off the Lie detector.
"HAHAHA! P-Put your hand down!" Witch said as we all laughed at Arle.
"Like hell I am! I'm not marrying Satan!" Arle shouted.
"*sigh* No. I'm not marrying Satan, Lie Detector." She then put her hand back down and pressed the start button.
…
"*giggle*"
"*giggle*"
…
…
*DING*
"Thank you." Arle said as she took off the lie detector.
…
"HAHAHAHA!" Witch said as she had her head down laughing after looking at Arle's embarrassed face.
"It's not funny, Witch. I can't believe you ask me a question that has been going on in my head for almost many years." Arle said, still being embarrassed.
"Well that's just how the game works. To see if you're lying about not marrying Satan. But you actually told the truth anyway."
"Yeah. I agree. Now it's my turn." I said as I put my hand on the you-know-what.
"Ok, Kaze. Would you trust Chico… or Arle when going on adventures?" Witch asked.
"Huh." I said.
"Oh." Chico and Arle both said.
…
"That's a good question. Think about it." Witch said.
"Yeah. It really is." I said.
"Well, according to Arle, looking at her outfit, she looks more like a heroine, so she's gotta be a heroine, right Arle?"
"Yeah, I've definitely been in a lot of adventures also, so you must be partially right." Arle said.
"And Chico, you went along with Dragon during your adventures, right? You said that he always protects you."
"Yeah that's totally true. We sometimes get on adventures, but I've been working at a shrine as a shrine maiden because that's actually my job. For proof, I have a staff." Chico said.
"Well, Arle is the one that does most of the work whenever we side with her." Witch said.
"Not mostly. Ringo and Amitie were there with me all the time. So it's not like I have to play the leading role everywhere we go." Arle said.
…
"I'm gonna have to say Chico. Because she looks like she's intelligent when it comes to adventures. Arle… She just looks heroic. However, she is smart, though. I'll give her that. But Chico looks like she can handle mostly all the obstacles that stand in our way." I then pressed the button.
…
"I'll go with it." Arle said.
"Yeah I bet Chico looks intelligent when I look at…"
*BUZZ*
"Sonofa…" I shouted as I quickly took out the lie detector after being electrocuted from it.
"Oh… so you were lying." Witch said.
"You don't think I look intelligent, Kaze?" Chico asked.
"Yeah. I do. It's the only way I can describe you. I mean you definitely look intelligent, you can take things seriously. But the lie detector said I was lying. But in my point-of-view, you're definitely someone I can rely on."
"Ok. I believe you." Chico said with a smile.
"Looks like she snubbed you, Arle." Witch said.
"Well, I wouldn't call that a snub." Arle said.
"So now I gotta ask some questions. Starting with you." I said to Witch.
"Yeah. I know. I bet you might not catch me with a hard question." Witch said.
"You think?"
"Yeah. I had to get you wrong first."
"Ok. So then is it true that you want to have Carbuncle as your pet?"
"HAHAHAHAHA!" We both then laughed at Arle.
"I will freeze you both." Arle said with a mean look on her face.
"Definitely." Witch said.
…
…
…
"Ok, but for real, I wouldn't actually have Carbuncle as my pet because I wouldn't understand him that much when he could be my assistant in making potions. I mean I can hire another person that is not Draco. I just wouldn't want Carbuncle to help me out because I need someone to actually understand the fundamentals of making potions." Witch said as she pressed the button on the lie detector.
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
*DING*
"You told the truth." I said as Witch took off the lie detector.
"I would have been surprised if she was lying." Chico said.
"I just wanted to lie. If I was, Arle would've been irate. *giggle*" Witch said.
"Well, what other things would you have done with him if I was not there for him." Arle asked.
"Well, the only thing I could do is just take care of him. He's a rabbit, right? So, I just don't know what he does." Witch said.
"I wouldn't know either. I'm not good at listening to what animals have to say either." I said.
"Possibly, I would rather protect him from you fiends."
"*giggle* I highly doubt it. Anyway, Chico." I said while trying to think of a question I could give her.
…
…
…
"Ok, so is it true that you are a vegetarian?" I asked.
"Oh, that's a good one." Arle said.
"Yeah, I kinda like that one." Witch said.
"Well, I'm no vegetarian. I'm gonna be honest, I kinda eat vegetables back in the shrine. We were given vegetables to eat back in the shrine, but I usually cook meat in my free time. I usually eat pork and spaghetti & meatballs. So, yeah I'm just… not a vegetarian. I'm more of a balanced type of eater." Chico then pressed the start button.
"I usually eat spaghetti and meatballs." I asked.
"Same." Witch said.
"I'm just into curry." Arle said.
…
*DING*
We then clapped at her.
"Ok. Arle you're up." I said.
"I hope you don't give me another dumb question." Arle said with an annoyed look.
"*light giggle* Ok. So who do you think is more powerful? Me or Raffina?" I asked.
"Hm…" Arle took her time to think.
"That's a good one." Witch said.
"Raffina definitely is stronger than you, but according to your dark magic that you have as well as fighting abilities, you might be the strongest. Even when you play Puyo." Arle said.
"Yeah. And when I saw her playing a Puyo Battle with me, it got a little intense when we were duking it out but I seriously managed to pull off a victory." I said.
"And you even did it against Schezo too. For one second, I thought you were gonna lose, but due to your quick reflexes when you have nuisance puyo on your board, you managed to escape the danger of losing the battle, and got right back into it." Witch said.
"That's true. I even played Raffina one time… well no, scratch that. Twice. One was where we first met. I lost that match. Another one was in the Puyo tournament. I won that match unexpectedly. I didn't even notice myself getting stronger by that time." Arle said.
"I mean obviously she could be lying about Raffina." Chico said.
"Or that too. Maybe Arle doesn't know that Raffina got stronger then. She told me that she defeated Klug when we were at Primp Magic School when I first got here." I said.
…
…
…
"I'm gonna have to say… Kaze. Because she fights strong, playing Puyo Puyo effectively. Raffina, I often do see her as a Super Courageous Heroine, but I think Kaze's more of a brawn type of character. I think she's just wanting to become more of a powerful fighter I should say." Arle said as she pressed the start button.
"Ok… if that's what you say." I said.
…
…
…
…
*BUZZ*
"OW! What the…"
"But I do kinda believe you on that statement, so I'll give it to you." I said.
"Yeah that's understandable." Witch said.
"Ok… but geez. That hurts. Luckily I didn't get any bruises, so that's a good thing." Arle said while looking at her hand.
"Ok. So now you have to ask questions. Now it's my turn." I said as I put my hand on the lie detector.
"So is it true that you're trying to be intelligent?" Arle asked.
"One hundred percent. I have to be intelligent. I want to be intelligent in everything. If I wasn't intelligent, how am I gonna answer the questions that everyone is asking?"
"Yeah. That's sort of a basic question. I can tell." Chico said.
"So I'm gonna have to say yes to this." I said as I pressed the button.
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
*DING*
"That's kinda simple at the least." Witch said.
"Everyone needs to be intelligent in school. I'm not saying everyone." Arle said.
"We should honestly tell the truth on it." Chico said.
"Ok, so it's my turn." Witch said as she put her hand on the lie detector.
"Alright… I think we're gonna do one more. I don't think we've got a lot in common, don't you think?" I asked.
"Yeah, I got to go see Carby and see what he's playing." Arle said, looking a little curious about her little friend.
"I also gotta check on Draco. Make sure she's doing alright." Witch said.
"I also couldn't think of one question. So I'm done too." Chico said.
"And I also got to see if the food's ready. Because I'm hungry." I said.
"So what are you gonna ask me, Arle?" Witch asked.
"So, is it true that you want to have a daughter in the future?" Arle asked.
"Huh?" Witch said, looking confused.
"Huh?" Chico said, also looking confused.
"What?" I said, also looking confused.
"A daughter? I never even thought of one." Witch said.
"I kinda had that in mind. I would be very curious if you were to help her out on making potions, you know." Arle said.
…
…
"Yeah, that's true. But... Why a daughter? Shouldn't I be married for that." Witch said.
"Well, let's scratch the fact that you should be married. I'm only saying that you want to have a real daughter. Like, in the future when you start to get older."
"I believe a few women have daughters even when they're not married back in my world. It's super rare nowadays." I said.
"Well… Yes I want to have a daughter in the future. Just not until I'm married, so no." Witch said as she pressed the button.
…
"I could tell by your face." I said.
…
…
…
*BUZZ*
"Crap!" Witch shouted as she got shocked by the lie detector.
"That's revenge, Witch." Arle said.
"Yeah. Whatever. It was somewhat of a payback, but I guess it's ok." Witch said.
"Wait, so I got electrocuted once." I said.
"I got electrocuted." Arle said.
"I did because Arle asked the previous question on purpose." Witch said.
"So Chico never got shocked." I said.
"What a lucky dog." Witch said.
"Well, it was because you kinda went a little easy on me, no?" Chico asked.
…
…
…
"Well… I don't know how to put it. But let's just say I didn't get to know you very much. So yeah." I said while trying to think of something.
"I'll tell you more about her. If you… wait. Maybe you should ask Chico that. I bet you can have more info about her." Arle said.
"Yeah, I don't mind you asking me anything at all." Chico said.
"Ok thanks. Let's all head back now, and see what the others are doing." I said as we all got up from the floor and headed back to the living room.
"You guys are done, already?" Raffina asked, concerned about us finishing up our game.
"Yeah. We couldn't think of any more questions. So we were just gonna call it a match." Witch said.
"Hey, is the food done?" I asked.
"I'm working on it. It's gonna be a lot to do." TaruTaru said.
"You don't have to cook much. Just do a few, take a break, and repeat." I said.
"But the food might get cold by then." Arle said.
"Then just take them. Just know who's getting what. I'm gonna go get Schezo since his time is up for sleeping."
"Ok. You do that." Arle said.
"Alright." Raffina said.
"Alrighty." Witch said.
I then went inside the attic to wake up Schezo from sleeping inside here.
Why is it so hot in here? Is it because of the temperature?
Schezo may be a heavy sleeper in my opinion. But that might not stop me from getting him to wake up.
"Hey, Schezo."
…
…
"Schezo. It's time."
"*groan* Five more minutes." Schezo said while in his sleep, turning to the point where I started to get annoyed.
Since there were no pillows, I then walked towards him, went on my knees and then…
*SLAP*
"Ow! Do you ever give me peace?!" Schezo said after I slapped him in his face.
"Nope. You had your peace. Now come on. Get up." I said while patting his blanket.
"Tch! Fine." Schezo said as he got up from the blanket and followed me.
"Do you seriously need me to be involved in all of this? Because I have no intention of having fun right now."
"Stop complaining, Schezo. It's my house. You are now gonna do what I say. I got you your break, so now you must do what I have to tell you now." I said.
"I get it, but why at a time like this? Should we have done this earlier or tomorrow?"
"I had school. Now I decided I wanted to attend this event. All the others want you here because you need to have fun for once and I need someone to keep me company. Otherwise, we're gonna keep calling you the party-pooping perv until you learn to have fun. No buts."
"Whatever."
"Ok. I brought Schezo in. Hopefully you guys can have fun with him." I said to everyone.
"About time you can enjoy yourself for once." Witch said.
"I was very surprised you would actually get involved in these types of stuff." Arle said.
"Hey, TaruTaru. Can you pass me a plate right there? I'm about to get a hot dog." I asked.
"Ok. Hang on."
"Hey, Kaze. Do you wanna watch us play Monopoly?" Raffina asked.
"Sure. I can do that. But let me get my food." I said as I was grabbing the mustard from the bag and walked to the kitchen.
"Alright. You want one or two?" TaruTaru asked.
"I'll take one. We need one for everyone." I said.
"Alright here you go." TaruTaru said as I grabbed the plate from him.
"Thank you. You can take a break now if you want. Don't you get tired often?"
"No, I'm usually a workhorse when I cook sometimes, but I take breaks when I feel like I'm starting to get hot."
"Oh I see. Alright, just do what you want." I said as I walked over to where Raffina, Klug and Maguro were playing monopoly.
"Alright, so who's winning?" I asked while sitting down with the group.
"I am. I'm already on a hot streak." Klug said.
"He took most of the money and bought most of the houses!" Raffina said while having a frowning look on her face.
"*giggle* You must be a lucky dog, Klug." I said to him.
"But, of course I am. I usually play most of these matches back in the day. I'm truly an expert in these types of games."
"Really?" Maguro asked.
"Why, Yes. I know My dream is to be like Lemres and all, but this is also what I do best in, you know?"
"Well, you must also know that I play this too, back in the day. Obviously because of this relating to money. And becoming a fine rich princess of course." Raffina said.
"Well now. Do you think you can work your way to that type of level? Because you know that we've got a lot in common besides being beautiful." Rulue, in which we didn't expect to be here, said now joining us in the game.
Wow. They seem to be getting along at these types of stuff. Let alone being beautiful.
"Yeah that's true. I'm just saying in this game where I can raise a lot of money and make you all poor until the very end."
…
…
…
"I don't think anyone can apply to that. Because I think the odds could change." I said with a sweatdrop.
"Ha! That's what you think, Matsuzaki. Anyway, lend me the dice. It's my turn." Raffina said.
"Don't call me that." I said with a huge sweatdrop.
*NIGHTTIME*
So the party was over. Everyone left, so now it was just me in this house. I gave all the board games to everyone to keep. So now I was about to go to sleep.
It was really fun while it lasted here in the second half of this day. I mean, everyone had fun, so I had fun. A lot of funny moments when we were playing the lie detector test game.
…
…
…
*RING*
I then looked at my phone and that was my mother, wanting to call me in the middle of the night.
"Hello?"
"Hi, sweetheart."
"Hi, mom."
"How are you doing?"
"I'm fine. You?"
"I'm doing well. I miss you. How are your friends?"
"They are pretty well."
"That's nice."
…
…
…
I think I miss my mom too. I think she might be worried about me if I stay here too long in Primp. Besides, I'm 16. I have to protect my mother at all costs.
…
…
…
So I wonder if this would ring a bell.
"Y'know. I kinda miss you too. I feel like we haven't seen each other in a long time."
"Yeah, same here."
…
"I feel like I want you to come home. Back in the United Kingdom."
…
…
"Mom… I was thinking the same thing."
"You did?"
"Yeah. Wanna know why?"
"Why?"
…
…
"I say this because you're my mother. I have cared about you most of my life. I wanted to make myself feel like I'm shielding you, like protecting you at all times. This may sound like only adults would do, but if I let you get hurt, I've never would have forgiven myself. I mean, going to Primp was just for powers of any type. You know, stopping bad guys. And you made me feel special and you wanna know what it felt like?
…
…
Those two weeks of me staying here were the best weeks of my life. You relied on your own daughter, mom. You now made me feel like I'm more powerful due to the abilities that I have, such as fighting abilities. Now that makes me wanna have to defend you at all times. Now I have to return the favor for you…
…
…
It's really hard to say goodbye. I don't want to leave and make my other friends sad and all. It's not right. But, since you helped me build my dream, I have to come home with you. If I stay here too long, it'll feel like I had no guardian or adult to protect me along the way. And you're the only one that can. So that's why I'm telling you this now."
…
…
"I definitely agree. Just know this, Kaze. You can put yourself into any danger. Regardless of having to safeguard your own mother, you are more likely to have problems in yourself as well as getting shot or beaten up if you somehow get involved in current incidents that I'm dealing with. I know that you have the guts to defend your own mother, but the police can somehow find you in a very bad situation, and they can put you in prison for assault, although you were using defense."
…
"Yeah… you're right. I wonder if I should hide my powers when I get back home." I said, looking a little worried about my powers.
"Yeah. You definitely should. Otherwise, if you get caught using dark powers, you would be trending all over the news saying that you out of every person in this world has magic powers."
…
…
"Ok. So, May I come home with you, Mom?" I asked.
…
…
…
"Sure. When do you want to do it?"
"Let's try Wednesday. Because the Primp Magic School has their last day on Tuesday."
"Ok. So when I come home from work on Tuesday. I'll have a package sent out for a ticket. It'll arrive this morning and the bus will come… I'm thinking about this afternoon. Make sure to try to catch the bus stop."
"Ok. You promise to turn it in?" I asked.
"I promise. Don't worry about it."
"I love you, mom."
"I love you too, Pumpkin. Alright. See you soon. Talk to me when you get the letter."
"Ok. Bye."
"Bye." I then hung up the call.
I know this was not the right path. I know I wouldn't have to leave Primp so early. I know I don't want to leave Amitie, Arle, Ringo, Raffina, Witch and the others in a sad ending. But I love my mom. I care about her more than I care about my friends. I'm trying to not break everyone's hearts. I wish I could come by sometime.
I'm sorry, everyone. But this is for my own will.
