"Who are you Javier?"
Leaning against the metal mesh, Javier crosses his arms and looks at the serious Ryuto, who is waiting for his answer.
"Let me see... I'm sorry, but I can't tell you, or maybe I could, but it's both complicated and simple. Who are you, Ryuto, the one who controls the finances or a simple student?"
Looking into his eyes, Ryuto adjusts his glasses.
"The one before you is Ryuto Miyake, treasurer of the Ryuto family, and you still haven't answered my question.
"I'm Javier Valderrama, a dreamer who wants to have a harem, a carrier, let's say, mmm, no, I don't have anything yet, but in the future it may not be like that.
"You're still acting childish, Javier. You think the radiant family will let you go easily after what happened.
"I don't care. I live my life the way I want. The rules you imposed are for you, not mine, and as long as those rules don't get in my way, I'll respect them. It's easy to understand my policy, don't you think?
Finishing with an innocent smile, Ryuto pointed at him with his finger and with the same hand pointed at the city.
"You ignorant moron! Besides messing with the radiant family, you carry a Celestial crystal with you. You think no one would notice the crystal's essence.
"Hahaha, it's just a game of mine. Besides, Ryuto, if you're a normal human who was able to catch it, I wonder how long it would take an expert to find it.
"You think this is a game, open your eyes! Unless you have a backup that can withstand the chase of the eight fish, you will not come out unscathed, and it is not a threat.
Furious at the realization of Javier's simple-mindedness, which made him even more unpredictable, Ryuto saw only one thing that mattered to him.
"I already said it, the rules are yours not mine, I don't give a damn if they kill each other, or destroy half the world as long as it doesn't affect me, I won't waste a single energy on it.
"Ha, I really want to kill you here, but this is your work, one to attract the Ryuto's purse to the table, plus a virgin Celestil crystal mine will please the elders, tell me your conditions.
"Ehehehe.
Javier, having fun like a child, suddenly pulled out a table carved from wood, featuring animals and flowers, along with two chairs. Taking his seat, he signaled Ryuto to sit down.
"Dimensional ring, I see you have some strange things with you.
"There is nothing stranger here than my very existence.
"Stop the beating around the bush and speak clearly.
"Very well, 30% of what I got from my mine will be given to your Ryuto clan, but with conditions.
Stunned by Javier's sudden generous offer, Ryuto adjusts his glasses and taps the table with his finger.
"How many Celestil crystals per week?
This time, Javier was the one who was surprised by such casual information, causing him to instantly change certain plans in his mind.
-Plan one: Attract the frog. {Done}
-Plan two: negotiation that benefits the frog. {On hold and upgradable}
"Before we talk about how much, let's talk about my conditions.
"I can't do much if you don't give me the information I want.
"Ehehehe, stop complicating things. My stuff is simple: dungeon information and everything that entails, books detailing the various medicinal plants, market prices for what's respected for plants and pills. Extinct and exotic animals that are registered. Also, information on objects left behind from before the loss of arcane energy from the earth. I also want passes to the auctions taking place five months from now and any others in the future."
Proud of his demands, he puffed out his chest for it, Ryuto was left with his mouth open, not because he was impressed but because he was seeing an idiot who felt proud, for something that would embarrass even the most novice in Finance.
"....Your stupidity and wastefulness so astonish me that I would give you a bow.
"Don't praise me so much that you'll make me blush.
Irritated beyond belief by Javier's playful attitude and his squandering of treasures, he couldn't stand it anymore, slamming his fists on the wooden table.
"Are you stupid or something? You know what you can get with that percentage you're giving? You can find those trinkets in shops in Kyoto!"
"I'm not interested in your senses of luxury, for you who think it's unnecessary for another it's much more valuable now we have a deal.
"Ahh, you stubborn idiot, show me the merchandise.
Surrendering to Javier's impenetrable mental strength, he felt a slight headache from that attitude.
No matter how Ryuto felt, Javier placed his hand on the table and a chest 60 cm deep and 100 cm wide appeared, causing the table to rattle.
"All this is the earnings from my source.
"Very little, do you seriously think the Ryuto clan would accept a small treasure…"
Not even being able to finish speaking, his mouth feeling dry, as if he hadn't drunk anything in days, his eyes ached at the brilliance but he refused to close them, his breathing uncontrolled as if he had been bewitched by the beauty of a beautiful woman. Ryuto in all his time as treasurer of the Ancient Ryuto Clan, had seen pass through his hands; treasures, pills, furs, magical energy weapons, luxuries that any small clan could dream of. The ancient Ryuto clan proud of its wealth that could only be matched by clans that dominated; China, England, the United States, Korea, Germany, Egypt, Greece and Russia.
These clans were named after Minerula: an ancient Persian god said to guard the world's treasures. Ryuto, who cast aside all dignity as an administrator, gulped his dry mouth like the first time he took office.
Looking closely at Ryuto's face, Javier, who had not expected anything like that, appeared calm, waiting for the answer.
For his part, Ryuto, who knew in his head that he had fallen into a trap, did not care, he touched the Celestil crystals that overflowed from the chest, confirming that it was real.
[I remain silent, but it is better to tempt more]
For a merchant in modern and ancient times, he knows that showing too much was more harmful than beneficial in some cases. Merchants are like ants who will go where their instinct shows them profit; those who seek more profit are like flies who will buzz until they are satisfied or die.
Javier, regardless of the consequences, left a new chest the same size as the previous one on the floor.
"Cr-celestile crystals and, glub crystals Sapphires.
[I like your reaction, but it's strange, your family coffers must be full of Celestil crystals and Sapphires. They're an Ancient Clan for a reason... let's finish here, the bell is almost about to ring.]
Just like a monkey with diamonds in its hands. It's shiny, but nothing more. Javier, who was unaware of the world and how it worked, acted solely on instinct. He didn't know that the Ryuto clan was one of the superpowers in wealth. His move was simple: find allies, as he had read in the light novels before. This would trigger the first event that changed Japan and the rest of the world.
-----
{12:35 AM}
[Valderrama Mansion]
At the same time Javier and Ryuto sat at the table in the mansion's break room, Yami was watching television alone after lunch.
"Yami onee-chan what are you watching?"
"Shio, after watching TV you start doing your homework!"
"Yessss!.
Picking up the dishes with Asahi who was helping, unlike Yami who wasn't doing much less than Javier being present, Shio who sat next to Yami watching television, where a man and a woman were kissing in the park at night.
"? Yami onee-chan for those people join their mouths.
"It's called a kiss.
"Ah that's a kiss…. !! Yami onee-chan speakers!.
Shio was surprised to hear Yami's melodious voice, which no one had heard except for her grunts and babbles. She winked at him and made a gesture of silence with her finger touching her swollen crimson lips.
"It's a secret, don't tell anyone.
"Secret, mmm count on Shio. But Yami onee-chan you have a nice voice why are you only grunting?"
"I couldn't speak, but now I can, all thanks to the mall incident.
"O-oh, I don't know what you mean, but I understand Yami onee-chan.
"Ehehe, don't call me Yami onee-chan, call me Yami-mama.
"Eh, bu-but my mommy is my mommy, I can't call you Yami-mama.
"You didn't call me Yami-mama just now.
"Ah, mmmmm…
"Come on, don't cry, you'll look ugly if you cry.
"Yeah…
"You have already memorized what Javier taught you.
"Y-yes, I already memorized it, and I combined letters the way you taught me.
Enjoying hugging when he shows an adorable appearance with his fists closed, Yami smiles and asks.
"What do you think of Javier?"
"Javier-kun?... mmm, Javier-kun has a huge house, he feeds Shio three times a day, I have new clothes, Mommy's bottle is being repaired, I found my onii-chan and the three of us are happy, he's also teaching him how to write and read, oh and Javier-kun is very confident.
"Sure? How so?"
"Mmm, I don't know, but when I was in that huge place and the bad people came and took Rinka onee-chan and Saka nee-chan, Javier-kun rescued them and took me in his arms. It felt like being in mommy's arms when there was a storm.
"Eeh, mmm, I see… Ehehe, Shio never met her dad, right?"
"When I ask Mom or Onii-chan, they don't want to tell me anything, but I know that person is bad since Mom and Onii-chan made faces when I mentioned it.
"...Do you want a father?
"I don't know, I never really thought about a daddy… but it must feel really good to have one.
"That's right, and what if you ask Javier who becomes your daddy.
"Huh?.... but Javier-kun isn't my daddy.
"No, it isn't. But a father is someone who protects, feeds, teaches, and, most importantly, makes you very happy.
"Shio what are you doing?"
"!...
Arriving unexpectedly, Asahi looks at Shio who was startled and Yami by her side watching television.
"O-onii-chan, you're done helping mommy.
"That's right, he went to the bathroom and he's coming back, what are you watching?"
[A melodrama]
Yami replied with her notebook, becoming mute again.
Soon Yuuna returned, the four sat on the couch watching the melodrama, not noticing that Shio was thoughtful about Yami's words.
--------
{1:28 PM}
[Sakakino Institute]
Pin, Pin, Pin, Pan, Pin!!!
As the recess bell rings, Javier removes the two chests, causing Ryuto to panic.
"W-wait.
"We'll talk when we leave, calm your thoughts until then. You still have to speak with the elder in charge of the clan, speak and we'll meet for business if you want tonight or any other day.
Finally removing the table and chairs, he passed by Ryuto who could barely keep his cool, Javier stopped by opening the tin door.
"Ryuto, let's continue being friends who have nothing to do with this world, and one more thing... don't forget it, I'd better tell you if the negotiations with your clan go well, although I hope they go well, my friend.
----------
Ryuto, who heard the door close, discarded the words Javier had told him, taking out of his wallet a small transparent wireless earphone with runes on its body.
"...Clan Chief.
"What do you want Ryuto I'm busy?
The voice of a strong-willed man echoed in his ear, Ryuto's face turned sullen but his voice became servile.
"I want to tell you about a business that came into my hands.
"Business? If it's about finance in your sector, we'll talk later. Small businesses shouldn't reach my attention. Just take care of it.
Showing no emotion, just cold, Ryuto, already accustomed, spoke in a flat tone without showing any feelings.
"A new celestial crystal and sapphire mine.
"...
Hearing a knock through the earpiece, Ryuto waited for the reply.
"Well done son, tell me where the vein is, what conditions were there to give us the vein!
[Double-sided]
Letting that thought run through his mind, Ryuto continues talking meekly to his supposed father.
"He set very easy conditions to meet, in fact very simple: if our clan accepts, they will give us 30% of what is earned each week.
"30%, he's not going to give it to us.
Changing his tone of voice to one of disgust again, Ryuto, who had expected it, spoke.
"That's right, only 30% of the deal hasn't been closed, since he wants to talk to the head of the Ryuto clan, not a treasurer.
".... Bring it to the main house.
"I'll call to have the transport ready…
Cutting the call, Ryuto let out a deep sigh before making other calls and heading to the classroom.
-----------
Going back in time when Javier was already ending the meeting, Setsuna, who had barely heard that conversation, could still hear certain information.
[He wants a harem, he's involved in shady business, and Ryuto is from a gangster family... it's the worst]
With that thought and mixed feelings she left there when she heard the footsteps coming towards her.
Having not heard Javier's last words, Setsuna, with a pale, emotionless face, walked slowly to the classroom.
"Setsuna, what a coincidence to find you here, you know, I thought you were in the classroom.
Javier ran down the hallway, seeing the small figure, and gently hugged Setsuna from behind, feeling the warmth escaping from the girl's small body.
"Fu, you smell very good Kiyoura, what shampoo do you use? You know how to use a mentholated one, it makes your body feel very fresh when you feel the wind.
"You can stay away from me.
Setsuna said in a flat voice, demonstrating a wall too thick for Javier himself to be intimidated.
"Hey, Kiyoura, what's up with you today? Ever since I sat next to you, you've had a strong wall around you. You scare me.
Taking several steps back, Javier looked at Setsuna as if she were an ancient monster.
Turning around to look at him, her expression unchanged, her small, cold lips parted.
"Please don't hug me again, nor call me without honorifics.
"..W-wait a minute for what happens to you.
"Nothing that should interest you and I don't want you to get close to Sekai either, she's a good girl to get involved with you.
"....
Defeated, he falls to his knees under Setsuna's icy gaze.
Setsuna, who saw him like that, her gaze didn't change, she just stared at him.
"One more thing, so that Sekai isn't left alone with you, I'll be on the lookout, so she doesn't get suspicious.
"Kiyoura-san, what did you hear?"
Thinking about that possibility, Setsuna's pupils trembled for a moment before she calmed down and stood firmly in front of Javier on her knees.
"All I know is that you're a scoundrel with a horrible desire for women and a danger to the common people. If you have nothing else to say, I'll go to my class, and let this be the last time you call me without honorifics. From now on, I'm Kiyoura-san to you.
Seeing Javier on his knees with his eyes on the floor for the last time, Setsuna left, leaving him alone.
No longer able to hear Setsuna's small footsteps, Javier sits thoughtfully in a corner with a sad look.
[What am I doing wrong?! First Sayaka, now Setsuna. The first one already knew about her phobia and fears, but with Setsuna it's different, I thought about continuing to cultivate affection for me. Since this morning everything has been going wrong, besides that icy stare is bad for my health, now I have to check what it was I heard in my conversation with Ryuto]
Taking his phone out of his pocket, the screen began to change to a crouching Setsuna.
(He wants a harem, he's involved in shady business, and Ryuto is from a gangster family...it's the worst)
"Seriously, that's all I hear from the whole conversation. Damn, seriously, women are a mass of nonsense who are scary when they get angry.
Already without spirit, he stops and hears quick footsteps coming down the stairs.
"Will it be Ryuto?
No matter who approached, I looked at the stairs and the hallway.
"I don't want to go back to the classroom, the library, the roof, or the infirmary.
With the three destinations in mind, Javier headed towards the roof, coming from where he came.
"Mm, a girl?"
Catching her eye the dark purple hair on the platform of the stairs, which she was about to crash into, the surprised young woman tried to jump back, failing.
"Kyaaa.
"You're fine.
Reacting, Javier takes the hand of the girl who tripped, without the girl falling, Javier sees clearly who it is; Kotonoha Katsura, one of the main heroines of School Days.
"Th-thank you, sorry can you let go of my hand.
"Oh, sorry.
Quickly letting go of Kotonoha's hand, Javier looked at the floor that had several poster tubes.
"My apologies, I didn't notice someone coming, I'm so sorry.
Bowing several times to Kotonoha, Javier sees her, but instead of accepting the apology, he bends down and begins to pick up the posters.
"Don't worry, it was also my fault for not realizing, here are the signs if you want help.
"No, don't worry, thank you very much for helping me collect the posters, thank you.
Bowing one last time, Kotonoha runs off, down the last flight of stairs. Javier watches as her long, dark purple hair disappears around the corner, sighing in defeat.
"Ahhh, I don't understand what's happening to me anymore. I should have helped carry the signs to her, I'd have had a chance to meet her...ahh, I seriously don't know what's happening to me with girls these days.
Scratching the back of his neck at his own carelessness, he continued his way to the roof where he fell asleep until the bell rang to dismiss the class.
"Wow, that was a nice dream, now that the club won't be demolished, but my relationship with Setsuna isn't all that great.
Washing his face before entering the classroom, Javier noticed several students still present: Setsuna, Sekai, Manami, and Hikari, as well as Makoto and Ryuto, along with a few other students.
Being noticed by the group of girls, Setsuna still had the icy gaze, Hikari would be more than usual, Manami gives her a push on the back.
"Javier, I want to talk to you about something, do you have time?"
Nervous, noticing it in her voice, Javier stopped near the podium.
"Sure, if you want it right here, I have no problem.
Arriving in front of Javier, I take a deep breath, reaffirming my will.
"Listen, I don't want to get to the point of going to some teacher, so starting tomorrow I want you to stop greeting me like you've been doing up until now.
A little surprised Javier, since anyone would think he was going to say something more serious, Hikari almost jumps when someone gently strokes her hair.
"No more nice phrases, just a simple greeting, but you didn't have to come with such a serious face, I'm not that scary.
Passing by Hikari who didn't say anything even though her hair was touched, he took his suitcase next to the seat and looked for a moment at Setsuna and Sekai in it.
"Sekai, Kiyoura-san, I'll wait for you in the club room. I'm going ahead.
"... Alright.
"See you tomorrow Manami and mark my words, the best way to capture a guy is to not give him room to think, but don't pester him, just relax and notice what he likes.
"And I've already told you that I have no interest in anyone.
"Hahaha!.
Leaving the classroom with a laugh, Manami approached Sekai and Setsuna.
"Hey, don't you think he's acting strange?
"Also, he didn't come after he left for recess, you know something Setsuna; you and Ryuto-kun are the last ones to enter and you're friends.
Hikari, who also saw Javier's change in attitude, all looked at Setsuna, who was silent.
"Setsuna, do you know something right?
Sekai, who hadn't spoken since Javier came in, looked closely at Setsuna, who didn't blink even though she was looking at him.
"Not really.
"But he even calls you by your last name, not your first name. Although I was surprised by how close you two became on a date, now he calls you by honorific. That's weird, isn't it, girls?
"What Sekai says is true and if you don't know something, there's only Ryuto-kun left.
"Hikari speaking of being weird, why didn't you take your hand away, I thought you hate having your hair rubbed.
"Well, although it can be annoying, I felt that he was sad about something. That's the only reason I'm leaving him and nothing else!"
Somewhat flustered as she explained, she resumed her strong personality at the end making Manami laugh at her.
"Hehe, if you say so it must be true. Ryuto-kun, do you know why Javier is acting a little weird?!"
Ryuto, who was called while talking to Makoto, shook his head.
"I don't know. I didn't see him during break. Something must have happened, or he got a call from a family member.
Setsuna, frowning at the neglected Ryuto, stood up, attracting the girls' attention.
"Is something wrong Setsuna?
"Nothing, I'll go ahead to the club and I'll be waiting for you.
"Oh wait, I'll go with you, see you tomorrow girls.
"Goodbye until tomorrow.
"See you tomorrow.
The four of them saying goodbye, Setsuna advances first before Sekai catches up.
Arriving at the club, they enter and see Javier sitting by the window eating his bento.
"Javier, what are you doing?"
"Can't you see I'm eating.
"No, I already know that, what I'm asking is why are you eating now?"
Sekai, who didn't understand anything, left her backpack on a desk as she approached Javier.
Wiping his mouth with a napkin, Javier looks at her.
"I didn't eat during recess and I'm already hungry. Do you want some? It's Mr. Octopus.
".... I'll take this.
Taking the octopus man out of Javier's bento box with his fingers, he looked at Setsuna who had sat down to continue reading the book.
"Excuse me for interrupting you, Kiyoura-san, do you want some?
"....
Turning the page without paying attention to Javier.
"Hmmmm? What's wrong with you guys? You're acting weird. Tell me, Javier, what happened during the break?"
"It hasn't happened, seriously believe me Sekai.
"I don't believe you, besides what's up with that Kiyoura-san thing, it sounds so monotonous and stiff when it comes out of your mouth.
"Hahaha, seriously, I'll try to get used to it over time, if you want another octopus gentleman take it there's plenty.
"I'll take one then and this one for Setsuna.
Taking the two octopus gentlemen, one ate it immediately and the other he took to Setsuna who continued reading in silence.
"Open your mouth Setsuna.
"I don't want it, eat it if you want.
"Hey, but it tastes good, say ahhhh.
"I don't want it!"
"Ahh.
Mr. Octopus fell to the floor after being slapped by Setsuna, everyone watched Mr. Octopus fall to the ground.
"What's wrong Setsuna, I just wanted to give you some, you didn't have to throw it away!"
"I'm sorry.
Setsuna, who knew what had happened with her anger, apologized, but Sekai could no longer stand the awkward atmosphere surrounding Javier and Setsuna.
"AND..
"...
Touching his shoulder and shaking his head, Javier said.
"Sekai, Kiyoura-san won't feel well today, that's why she's behaving like this. I'm sure this will be over by tomorrow.
"But.
"Ma, ma, there's nothing to worry about, look, Mr. Octopus is fine... and he's still good.
"Because you ate it, it's dirty.
"Just a little bit of dust, that's all.
Having eaten Mr. Octopus, Setsuna stares at him, noticing Javier's gaze and turns her gaze back to the book.
Sliding door!
"Sorry I'm late, uu, what's with this atmosphere?
"Sensei, here is the flash drive with the information we gathered about the telescopes.
Taking the flash drive that Javier gave him, Professor Tenma with his laptop checks and looks at Setsuna.
"So student Kiyoura, give me a brief explanation about the birth of the telescope.
"In the beginning of 1608, in the Netherlands, the inventor Hans Lippershey created a flat device to build a telescope, but it was not until 1909 when Galileo Galilei made the first lens that would give rise to the telescope, being only a tube with two lenses at each end. Before the first lens was created, astrologers like in ancient Greece and the Mayans, would look at celestial bodies.
Sitting down after presenting, Setsuna, Professor Tenma looked at Sekai.
"Student Saionji, what telescope did Isaac Newton build?
"Metal mirrors in Latin are called 'speculum metal' with a mixture of copper and tin was called (Newtonian reflector), had a diameter of 33 mm, reflects light with 60% before 1860, had to be re-polished causing much inconvenience, for astronomers was not the only problem, humidity and the environment having to clean it thoroughly and rebuild it.
As early as 1856 and 1857, mirror manufacturing was improved when Karl Au-August von… Stein.. heil and Leon Fo.. Foucault, who introduced an ultra-thin layer of silver on the front surface of the mirror block, giving a 90% improvement in light reception and much less sensitive to light loss.
"Well done, although you were missing several details, you did well, student Saionji.
Sitting tired Sekai, Javier waited for Professor Tenma's question.
"Finally, student Javier, tell me about the new technologies that have been introduced in the last 20 years.
"Professor Tenma, that's very broad, anything more specific?
"Right, right. So tell me who created the Astradis telescope and what was discovered, as well as its characteristics?
"The inventor was Legar Astradis, it was ten years ago and it was the first telescope to use reactive atoms embedded in the lenses, and a central core in the body of the telescope. Ten have been manufactured to date; one is near the uninhabited islands of Hawaii, another is on the Japanese coast near the Sapporo islands, another is on the Philippine islands, others like Germany, Russia, China, England, South Korea, Spain, Egypt that do not have coasts or uninhabited islands, they built it in the middle of nowhere.
In addition to their small production capacity of one per year, each country has a high level of security in scientists and trained personnel. And the reason they are guarded is because of the first civilization in our neighboring Milky Way, called Wylda. Nothing more has been said to the public yet, that's all.
"Mmm, very well, student Valderrama, I see that you did some research, so with that I can say that the astronomy club is back in session.
"Ohhh.
"WE DID IT!
Sekai, proud of having achieved it, jumps for joy, hugging Javier for a few seconds before going to Setsuna and hugging her.
"Don't get too excited, you've researched history, but you haven't researched anything about stars, their constellations, and planets.
Tenma did not wait to lecture the three happy boys, his smile of pride in his students could not be hidden.
"Ehehehe, sensei Tenma, don't be too rigid, I invited you to eat something as our club advisor.
"Let's celebrate Javier.
"Please Sekai, you can ask for whatever you want, it's from me.
"Ugh, what shall I order, oh where shall we go?
"How about a pastry shop?"
"You're the best! But it will cost you dearly.
Already savoring what he would eat, with Sekai being the most enthusiastic, Professor Tenma rejected the offer.
"I'm sorry, but I won't go, enjoy it. Also, here's the key to the rooftop. Don't give it to anyone, especially not for misuse, you understand.
"Trust my sensei Tenma, it's nothing bad.
"It's because I trust my students that I give it to you, don't make me regret it.
"There's nothing to worry about.
Giving him a military salute, Professor Tenma lets out a smile as he says goodbye, mentioning a faculty meeting.
"Excuse me if I can ask you something?
"Yes, how can I help you?
Setsuna stands up to talk to Professor Tenma, and looks for a moment at the keys to the rooftop.
"Those are the only keys there are.
"There are also copies, like the janitor's one, another spare one, and the one I give to Javier. Why do you ask?
"Just curious, nothing more.
With nothing else to do at the club, Professor Tenma left, leaving the three of them alone. Javier, who wanted to say something, was literally pierced by the coldest stare he'd received during the break. He couldn't converse with Setsuna, so he proposed something.
"Sekai, tell me are you free during Golden Week?"
"Hey, well I'm free, why?"
"It's for club purposes, since we're new to this and it seems Sensei Tenma won't be asking us questions about astrology for the last time, so I thought why don't we meet at some observatory now that we're on holiday. We can also ask the school for permission to come and see the stars at night, what are you saying... Kiyoura-san will also come, after all we are a group.
Sekai enthusiastically attended to the idea, Setsuna's gaze made Javier break out in a cold sweat, not knowing how to treat her.
Planning the outing on the holiday, Javier took a book out of his backpack and started reading, Setsuna also started reading, Sekai bored began to bother Setsuna by interrupting the reading.
--------
After a couple of hours, the last bell rang, marking the end of the clubs.
"Javier, if you haven't decided which location we're going to, I have one in mind that you think about.
"I have no problem, but let me tell my cousin that she should have left her club by now.
"Why don't you invite her too, the more the better.
"Alright.
"Of course, you still pay, ehehe.
"...
Shaking their heads at Sekai's nerve, the three left the club.
[I wonder what all that noise is, I heard it most of the afternoon]
Hearing the loud banging sound on the other side of the wall, Javier ignored it and they left.
Javier, who still couldn't establish a conversation with Setsuna after what happened during the break, much less a glance, asked Sekai, who was walking a few steps ahead.
"Sekai, since when have you and Kiyoura-san known each other?
"What's the point of this sudden question... Well, we've been together since kindergarten, I consider her my real little sister, since I'm the oldest.
"Older, Sekai is always careless, childish and easily carried away by the situation.
"....
Blushing with pursed lips, she looked reproachfully at Setsuna, which seemed to have no effect.
"Ehehehehehe.
"What are you laughing at!?"
"That explanation fits you perfectly hahaha.
"Hey stop laughing, look what you did Setsuna?
"....
"Oh you're laughing badly too!
Having a pleasant time together, the three of them arrived at the exit, changing their shoes, Sayaka's presence was noticed.
"Yo. How did it go at the kendo club? Was the practice good?"
"...More or less… and who are your friends?"
Sayaka had her eyes on Sekai and Setsuna who were behind Javier.
"You've met them before, but let me introduce you again, this girl here with a choke in her hair, her name is Sekai Saionji.
"Hey, if you have something to say about my hair, say it. Besides, it's my strong point; having this choke gives me more presence.
He declared, putting his hands on his waist.
"But you already have it Sekai.
"Hmm?.
"Kiyoura Setsuna-san, is Sekai's childhood friend and the president of the girls in my class and sits next to me.
"Good afternoon.
"Mm, good afternoon Saionji-san, Kiyoura-san, I'm Okino Sayaka, Javier's cousin, nice to meet you. By the way, we had already met before at the entrance and in the classroom.
"Y-yes.
Sayaka, who naturally gave off an Ojo-sama atmosphere, Sekai felt self-conscious and nervous, Setsuna, who although she was angry with Javier for what she heard, looked at Sayaka with a feeling of discomfort.
"Too big… Okino-san, we're thinking of going to a bakery to celebrate the opening of the Astronomy Club… Do you want to go?"
Without any encouragement in the invitation, Sayaka, smiling in the most natural way, looked at Setsuna who did not want her at the celebration.
[Etto, what exactly is going on? Someone explain to me why these two are staring at each other. Sayaka is sure to decline the invitation, since we're not on good terms.]
Relaxing Javier forgot something very important, when there are feelings involved everything is chaos.
"Thanks for the invitation, I really wanted to eat something sweet.
"Seriously, there are some good "high calorie" desserts that you're sure to like.
"I'll be happy to try it, since my metabolism is strong, not letting me gain weight.
[It's clear all the fat will go elsewhere. Akimiya Okino, even though she's Javier's cousin, there's something besides those tits that bothers me.]
[Why is it that I find the presence of this elementary school girl annoying? I wasn't planning on going, but it's better to find out why it bothers me.]
Eating herself with her eyes while smiling on the surface, Sekai scared approaches Javier who had his mouth open, because of what happened.
"J-javier why don't you call your other cousin, I'm sure the more the better you say!"
".... Why not, I'll call her!
Sweating uncomfortably at the actions of the two girls who should have been upset with him, they were now trying to go eat together when it was obvious they weren't getting along. Javier, moving away from Sekai who pinched his waist, headed for the exit.
"Hi, Javier Onii-chan, maybe you came to see me already? Sorry, but I just finished practice and I'm changing.
"No, it's not that. I'm going with my club to a nearby bakery and I wanted to know if you want to go or if I can send you the vehicle."
"Oh, I thought it was a lie to get closer to your classmates, but it seems like you're serious about your decision.
"Hey, who do you take me for… ahh, are you coming or not.
"But I don't have much money.
"I pay the entire bill.
"I love you Javier Onii-chan for inviting me! I'll be waiting for you at the exit.
Hanging up on Javier for being just as brazen as Sekai in that regard. He approached the girls in an unpleasant atmosphere.
"He said if I'm coming, then we'll go before it gets any later.
Nodding, they all walked toward the school gates. However, three black vehicles appeared out of nowhere, catching the attention of the kids who had just left the clubs.
"Javier, excuse the rudeness, but the previous matter is now settled and ready for discussion.
Getting out of one of the black vehicles, Ryuto, accompanied by eight men in suits.
They click their tongues and turn to see Sayaka who was nervous, and not just her but everyone who was leaving at that moment.
"Sasa-chan, I'm sorry, but you'll have to go home with Rinka-chan. Yami should be waiting at the door when you arrive. Also, don't bother waiting up for me. I don't think I'll be home until dawn.
Stopping to look at Sayaka, his gaze falls on Sekai, who is intimidated by the eight men in suits and sunglasses, and even Ryuto, who is completely different. Setsuna, with her cold gaze, her hands tightly gripping her skirt, showing how worried she was, but that she didn't want to show it.
"Sorry Sekai, Kiyoura-san, but we'll have another outing, for the club celebration, see you tomorrow.
"....
Setsuna was trying to say something, but nothing came out of her mouth, Javier got into the vehicle that Ryuto got out of and all the men got in and left.
As the three vehicles disappear from view, another vehicle stops in front of Sakakino Academy, which Sayaka recognizes.
"Apologies for the sudden incident with my cousin, it seems he has some family business matters to attend to.
"Businessmen!
Taking Setsuna by surprise, Sayaka continued with her explanation.
"Yes, I can't give many details, but my cousin Javier is going into business with the Ryuto family, but I didn't think it would be so soon, that's why all this happened so suddenly, see you tomorrow Saionji-san, kiyoura-san.
"Yes, until tomorrow.
Not being able to do more than say goodbye with a brief explanation, which seemed to solve many explanations for one and very little for the other.
