9 Weird Girl Visits (1/2)
.
It was Kazuya's turn to be taken aback the next day. He woke up later than usual because his training lasted longer now that he had gotten a feel for his new body. What awaited him was Kyouko and Mei both holding a list of different types of computers, debating which he would prefer.
”(These two… no wonder there was so much work piled up)” Kazuya sighed.
”Good morning Kazuya Did you sleep well?”
”I did. Good morning Mom and Big Sis Mei”
”Mornin Kazu! I want to thank you for getting a lot of work done. Your mother here would have taken forever to finish even half of it. This makes my life a lot easier so we decided to give you a reward”
”She's right Kazuya. Thank you for helping me with my work. I was surprised that you were able to flawlessly do it. You even give us some useful suggestions. Mom is very proud of you and as a reward, we want to get you your very own computer”
”Whoa, really?” Kazuya was immediately excited. The only computer he used to own was an old model that could barely run the modern games while he was in middle school.
The two were elated after seeing his reaction and immediately showed him various types that they picked out. Their choices caused his face to darken. They chose based on the outward appearance and cared nothing about the specifications. Even their lists barely included the most important information needed when buying one.
”You can pick whichever you like Kazuya”
”Come look at the ones big sis picked out for you”
Kyouko's choices were simple and colorful while Mei's definitely showed that she was thinking what he or boys would like else, she would have the list down to the specifications.
”Umm… where did you choose these computers from?”
The two handed him a catalogue. He browsed through them and easily made a choice. He hesitated at first because in his previous life, he would have only gotten this type of device after saving for it for a few months. Now he was going to get one just by asking for it. This felt very awkward for him so he just pointed at the one he preferred expecting to be declined.
”Alright, this one then. I'll have it delivered today”
”(Seriously? That easy?)” he thought to himself as he watched his mother excitedly make phone calls to have his choice delivered. ”Thank you mom. Thank you big sis” he gave them both a hug to express his gratitude. The two ladies smiled at each other after seeing that they made the right choice but their harmonious environment was soon going to end.
*KNOCK KNOCK*
”Come in” said Mei but regretted it as soon as she saw the appearance of the visitor at the door.
”Pardon my intrusion” A cute blonde haired little girl entered the room.
Mei wasted no time and protectively put Kazuya on her lap. She made sure to hold him tightly to portray ownership. Kyouko on the other hand finished her phone call immediately and welcomed the girl.
”Hello! Are you the little girl we heard about a few days ago? I'm Kazuya's mother” Kyouko greeted the little visitor with a smile.
”Yes! I'm Stockton Kurumi, Kazuya-kun's classmate. Pleased to meet you aunty!” she politely bowed. She turned her head towards Kazuya who sat quietly on Mei's lap. Mei hadn't moved and silently observed the unknown girl.
”(This is without a doubt that crazy girl)” he thought while snuggling up to Mei as if it was normal for him to do so. He could recognize that signature hair color of hers anywhere.
”Kazuya aren't you going to say hello to your friend?” Kyouko turned towards her son trying to prompt him to greet the little girl.
”Kazuya-kun, are you feeling any better? I brought the homework you've missed while you were gone” She glanced at Mei who was in bliss because of Kazuya's new action towards her.
”What a thoughtful friend. My Kazuya is lucky to have such a cute and caring friend” Kyouko's compliments made the little girl blush. Kurumi secretly glanced towards Kazuya but was startled when she found that the two had been ignoring her.
”Umm… Kazuya-kun this lady is?” she ask curiously.
”My wife” Even Mei herself was shocked at his unexpected answer. It only lasted for a moment as Mei extruded a beaming blissful pink aura.
””Wife!?”” Kyouko and Kurumi's mouths gaped open.
”That's right little girl. I'm Kazu's wife. I thank you on behalf of my husband for bringing his homework. Please inform the girls in your class that my husband is already married so they should stay away from him”
”Y-you're acting weird Kazuya-kun” Kurumi ignored Mei getting carried away and looked at him with teary eyes.
”I don't think so. Rather, I feel clearer than ever before” he replied with a straight face. This time he was looking her directly in the eye.
”You're not acting like yourself. Is your sickness really serious?”
”I could go back to school any time” He dismissed her concerns mercilessly. ”Is there anything else that you need?” Kazuya really wasn't interested having any more connections to this girl.
”Kazuya-kun… you're acting very weird. D-do you need more medicine? I can ask my daddy to buy medicine” she tried to keep it in but her tears started falling.
”I don't need any medicine. Thank you for coming all this way. If there is nothing else then please leave” he turned away from her and played with Mei's long silky hair instead.
”Kazuya!” Kyouko scolded. Even Mei was taken aback at his cold treatment towards this girl.
”Mom. Do I need to say that fragments of my memories are telling me that I should be afraid of this person?”
Kyouko was reluctant but she understood what he meant. This girl had a sensitive background so Kyouko escorted her out before Mei could scare her with her sudden change in attitude after hearing what her son had just said.
Kurumi, who was still confused could only be led outside as she sobbed. Kyouko felt sorry for her and explained her son's current circumstances as best as she could. Her son may have been mistaken and this girl clearly cared for him so she could only hope that she would understand and forgive him.
”I apologize again for Kazuya's behavior Kurumi-chan” she comforted the little girl.
”It's okay aunty. I understand why Kazuya-kun was being strange now. I'm okay now so you can go back”
”Alright then. It was nice meeting you Kurumi-chan and thank you for taking care of Kazuya at school”
”It was nice to meet you too aunty. Kazuya-kun is a good person so it's only natural for me to be friends with him”
Kyouko smiled and went back to the room. Mei's coldness loosened up and went back into spoiling the boy in her arms before he was taken away by his mother.
”Kazuya did you recover any memories of Kurumi-chan?”
”No” Kazuya was very sensitive to presences so he immediately knew that it was Kurumi's shadow he could see on the gap under the door. He chose his words carefully as he was aware of her eavesdropping.
