Night time, 19.55
This place is crowded, many people are seeing what is really happening here. “My pick is still not coming, yes.” I am still waiting for my invitation to come. There's no clock here, so I don't know how many minutes it's gonna be to 8 p.m.
A few minutes later.
A luxurious car came. “What is my invitation?” The car stopped, and someone got out of the car. “Shirayuki.” I saw him get out of the car, and I went straight to him.
“Akarui-san, what exactly happened?”
“Nothing, it's just that there was a little problem. Already, forget about it. We'd better get going.”
“B-Good.” Even so, I felt that Shirayuki was still wondering why this could happen.
But... 'I didn't think Ryuga's sword was that heavy. If not mistaken, Ryuga has destroyed 2 buildings, and this 2nd building.' As I remembered that, I recalled the incident where I had failed my task for the first time. 'If until I fail, what world I fail to save will be the same fate as that world?' If that's true, I don't want to fail again.
I'm killing those criminals not without reason. Near my apartment, a few tens of meters from my apartment there is an apartment that Sylvi lives in. If I don't do that, chances are they'll do it to him, too, and that could make my job a failure if he gets killed. And I don't know what would happen to this world if I failed in this task. And I want to prevent that failure.
My biggest wish right now is just, I want to live a quiet life together with my family. That's all, I don't want anything else.
“Akarui-san, what is it?”
“Ahh, nothing. I was just thinking of something.” Being a god, that way I can live quietly with the family I have. But I'm still not ready for that. At least I need time, time to think.
A while later.
“We're here.”
We went down in front of an apartment so luxurious, more luxurious than mine before. “What is the meeting here.”
“Yes, my parents rented this whole apartment for the next few days in preparation for the party.”
“Weew...” You can rent an apartment this luxurious for a few days. How much money does Shirayuki's parents have to spend, it's not that question that I should ask, but rather how much wealth does Shirayuki's parents have.
“Akarui-san, come.”
“Y-Ya.” I followed Shirayuki.
Inside the apartment
“Wah, amazing.” Inside here it looks very spacious, and also very luxurious. There are enough people here. “What are they all invited guests.”
“Iya. They are all the owners of the famous company.”
“So..” These great people are gathered in one place. It's pretty awesome.
“Papa, mom.”
“Huh?” I turned around, and saw a pair of lovers coming towards us. 'Eh, they're Shirayuki's parents?'
“Ahh. Amane, how?”
“I've brought her mama.”
“So..”.
“Hah, so you, yes.” It looked pretty scary, but I don't know why I didn't feel anything at all. Maybe because I've seen something scarier than this.
“My name, Akarui Hiroaki. Nice to meet you both.” If I'm to be honest, this is the first time I've ever spoken to anyone about this, and I don't know if it's true or not.
“Darling, stop. Ahhe... Amane, can you accompany Hiroaki-kun around this apartment for a while.”
“Good mama. Hiroaki, come.” He changed the way he called me in front of his parents to make it more realistic.
But this, it looks like something is hidden. And it seems, Shirayuki's father doesn't like me. 'Haah. Never mind, I was just asked for help anyway. Like it or not, it's not a problem for me.'
A few minutes later.
“Eh, of course. Mama already said that, then I have to obey.”
“Haa.” He didn't seem to know that the words spoken by his mother were allusion. “Begin, let me explain.” I explained.
A few moments later.
“Eh, really like that?”
“Iya.” I don't know, but it seems Shirayuki is very obedient especially to her mother. “Already, let's go back.”
“Ehh, tu-wait.” I didn't listen to it, and then I came back.
A few minutes later.
The party has already started, and it looks like a normal party. There's nothing interesting. 'No taste.' I want drinks, food, everything I eat has no taste. 'It's still not healing, yeah.' It's been longer than I thought. It's been almost 2 months, but it hasn't healed yet. Even so, I didn't care much about it, because I was getting used to it. “Ah, Shirayuki, what is it?” Suddenly Shirayuki came to me.
“Begini Akarui-san, I want to talk to you.”
“Good.” There was something strange, he called his mother mama, but he called his father father father, not papa. 'It's none of my business.' If he had a bad relationship with his father, I don't care. Because it's of no benefit to me.
A few moments later.
“Dad is inside, you can enter.” Shirayuki led me to a room.
“Good.” I went inside.
Inside
“Wah, this is quite luxurious.” A living room that looks so luxurious.
“Ehem..” (Shirayuki Father)
I saw Shirayuki's father and mother sitting next to each other in the chair. “Hiroaki-kun, can you sit here, we have something to talk to you about.” (Mother Shirayuki)
According to what he said, I sat in the chair facing them. “What do you want to talk to me about?”
“Good question. You must have known that we are the owner of a well-known company in Japan.” (Shirayuki Father)
“Y-Ya.” If I could be honest, I don't know. But, since I want to play it safe I just answer that.
“We just want to know, about your family. Like a job, job title, or anything else.” (Mother Shirayuki)
“So..” Shirayuki's mother looks softer compared to Shirayuki's father. From this talk, they plan to find a suitable partner for their daughter so that her life can be guaranteed. That is a natural thing that all parents want. “My father is named Akarui Yamato, he is the owner of a famous college. While my mother..”.
“Hiroaki-kun what's wrong?”
“Sorry, My mother was dead when I was 3 years old.” Even though the facts I got were different.
“So, forgive us.”
“Ahh, no problem.”
“If so, this is the last question. What's your job?”
This, this question will definitely be thrown by parents to their daughter's partner. This question is no stranger. “Sorry, I don't have a job. Besides, I am currently in the learning period.” I can't mention my real work, after all I didn't want to be in this situation at first.
“So.”
“Eh?” This is very different from the response I expected. I guess they will reject me immediately, and even so it will not be a problem because from the beginning this was just a charade. At least that was the response from Shirayuki's mother, while from her father. He looked at me with a different look.
“Darling, stop. True what he said, after all a student is not obliged to work.”
“Already, it's up to him only.” And this conversation is over. At least, that's what should happen.
