25 Comeback... (1/2)
Akio was taken to a normal house. The house looked plain from outside, but It was definitely worth looking from the inside. This house had mechanical things all over. Every nook and corner of the house was filled with gadgets.
Akio was normally fond over these things. He was amused when he came to a place like this. He wasn't aware of the people around him.
A man was watching him, but Akio didn't notice that. The man coughed to steal his attention. Akio came to his senses.
”I am sorry, sir. I did not notice you.” Said Akio.
”You like my toys?” asked the man.
”Are these toys? But whatever it is, I like these.” Replied Akio.
”These are the gadgets which I created.” Said the man.
”Wow! Sir, you made these amazing things!” Akio didn't expect the man to be the inventor of all these things.
The old man had his nose going long. He was going to brag about himself, but he was stopped by the lady who bought Akio in this house.
”Honey, don't start gossiping with the boy about your inventions with the kid and lunch is ready. Come in the dining table.” Said the lady.
The man somehow seemed to be very obedient of this lady. He took Akio to the table nicely. While having lunch Akio asked, ”Where is the little girl?”
”Oh, don't worry my son, she is sleeping in her room. She just needs a little rest. She is in her father's invented 'Comfort bed'. She will wake up by the evening. But putting that aside, you can take rest too.” She said.
”Thanks ma'am.”
Evening came soon....
The girl came out of her room, her pink hair was messy as she woke up from her sleep. But as soon as she saw Akio, she got out of her sleepy state and ran towards him.
”You are so powerful! You burned the villain in a second!” said the girl in amusement. She had shiny stars in her eyes.
Akio smiled a little. He was not sure what to do at this moment.
The girl came closer to his face and asked him, ”What is your name?”
”My name is Kogarashi Akio. But… Um… Could you please take your face a little bit away? The smell of your mouth is coming to my nose...” said Akio.
”Oh, sorry!” The girl moved away. She washed her face and mouth and came back. Akio and the girl talked a lot and they became good friends in no time. They had dinner. The family was a happy one…
After dinner,
”Akio-chan, your parents must be worried about you. Tell me your address, I will give you a lift.” Said the girl's mother.
”But I don't have parents. I just live under a bridge. I will be able to go there on my own. You don't need to force yourselves.” Said Akio.
