Chapter 11:
A jokers world
" Sir, are you relative of Miss Melli?" Asked the estate agent to hikaru
Hikaru thought whether he should tell him about it or not. They could easily capture the person if he tried to do something and get information about Nefrim from him. Hikaru took a chance.He signals yuki, sana and aki with his eyes to be ready if something happens.
"No I am not, but these two are the raised by Miss Melli" said Hikaru with a smile while pointing at Sana and Aki.Sana's hold the sword with one hand while it was in the sheath. Yuki lowered her wand a little to point it towards the ground. Aki rather then using his wand he was keeping a close eye on the agent's movements.
" ohhh myyy!!! Why didn't you tell me so, Miss Melli has helped me lot."
Everyone relaxed after hearing those words.' So He was helped by Miss Melli huh. It's not that strange that there are people who know about Miss Melli on the island. When i was in Henth region training with sana. I meet a lot of people who knew about her.'
" Let me return the favor even if it is a little bit, please come with me"He took them to a big house situated at the west coast of the island.
"Ahh.....Sorry but we don't have money to buy a house like this" said Hikaru"Don't worry about money. Its original price is ******* but for you it's ***** "
'Are you kidding me. It's cheaaaappppppp' thought hikaru."It's so cheaaapppppppp" shouted aki in background.
'Thanks Miss Melli, Thank you so much. Your kindness is helping us so much' thought hikaru while joining his hand and thanking Miss Melli." We want it now" said Sana with excitement.
Hikaru looked towards yuki, she was also beaming with a great smile. Hikaru smiles a little seeing her."Can we look in the house first" said Hikaru
"Of course"They went inside the house. The furniture, floor , ceiling everything was well made. It was a 2 story building. 6 bedroom, 1 kitchen,a dinning room,a living room,a garden and the thing hikaru wanted the most a large bathroom.
The bathroom was enough for Hikaru to buy it. After getting a house tour the agent asked them"So sir your answer "
"We want it " said everyone in sync.They did the paper work and bought it. They could have stayed at the academy dorms but it would have hindered their main motive so they decided to buy a house.
When all of them were in living room on sofa."So what are we going to do for the dinner?" Asked hikaru
"It's better to eat outside. We all are exhausted and you the most exhausted . Neither we have ingredients nor the strength to buy them" said Aki" I am good with that, even I don't want to cook after getting slapped "said hikaru
"Whats that have to do with cooking?" asked sana
"The sound of slap still rings in my head. And i get depressed thinking what will happen to my image if the words spread around the academy, my social life will be over. What if they send some people to arrest me" said hiakru making holding his head
" Don't over think. It will fine brother" said yuki while patting Hikaru's back."Then let's go to eat outside , you will forget about that incident after having a great meal"said sana while comforting hikaru
"Okay" replied hikaruThey changed clothes and leave the house.It was night time. Hiakru tied his hair in the back.
"Is there any shop open at this time where i can cut my hairs?" Asked hikaru"I don't think so. You should cut them tomorrow" said aki
They picked a place place to eat while looking through the shops of the island. They took the table at the far end near the window.
Yuki and Aki sits toward the wall side while Sana and Hiakru sits in front of them.
A waitress comes to give them the menu, water and asked to call her when they have decided.
Aki and Hikaru Quickly decided what they wanted to order while Sana and Yuki were still looking through the menu.
Hikaru looked around there were 2 more families in there.There were 3 waitresses, a clock on the wall, dry fruits on the each table. A calm and soothing atmosphere.
The furniture and color in there also played a great role to make people feel more relaxed. No noises from outside can come in. You can see a more relaxing view from window rather than seeing the people outside rushing through the streets, all busy in their work, the window showed a graden. Not only plant which can bloom flowers were there but also tress, bushes, a small pond in the garden, even the stones in the garden were looking like a art piece.
Sana and Yuki decided what to order. The food in this world is pretty much similar to hikaru original world.
They have rice,wheat etc with some more things which are not available in the original world.
They called the waitress, told her what they want.
Hikaru take a dry fruit from the bowl and eats it.
:crunch: :creak:
The door opened hikaru's eyes and head moved subconsciously towards the door, a girl peeks in.
Hikaru takes a closer look at her face, she is one of the women hikaru got slapped by.
Hikaru turns his head towards yuki as fast he could.
"Looks like there are free seats here" said Hana
She comes in, hikaru turns back his head one more time but this time with cautions so she can't she him.
Another woman comes in.
"That's a good thing " said Mahiru
Its the other woman hikaru got slapped by.
Hikaru back to hiding his face.
"Mam please take a seat whereveryou like" said the waitress
:clank clank clank:
Hikaru's hearing power increased. He could hear the sound of the women's coming closer to their seat loud and clear.
They sits on the sofa just behind hikaru separated by a thin layer of wall. They sits facing each other.
Hikaru holds the water glass, drinks a sip. The only sound he can hear are the woman behind him and his own heart beat.
Hikaru's inner thoughts started running wild-
'Now I can finally say, women made my heart beat loud.
Why why of all the places you have to come here. I dont want to make a scene here. I have a image to maintain even if i don't care about it that much.
Now I have to play hide and seek with them.ahhhhhhhh'
Hikaru sighed.
The waitress comes with hiakru and others food.
Mahiru and hana were ordering their food.
Hikaru takes a bite,
"The day was fully tiring, hfffffff"says Mahiru while stretching.
In the back seat hikaru leans forward.
"This place feels so refreshing "says Mahiru and looks around
Hikaru leans toward Sana
"What happened" asks sana
"Nothing" says hikaru while giving a fake smile
"it's too delicious" says Yuki in a little loud voice
Mahiru turns her head a little to back then looks in front again.
"what happend ?" asks Hana
"I just thought i have heard the voice of the person who just said it 'too delicious'." whispers Mahiru
"so i tried to look toward them but it's bad manners so i turned back"
'Manners saved me, manners given by your mom and dad saved me. Thank you very much Mom and Dad' thought hikaru
Hikaru was in a battle not a real one. But still one to protect his image.
Everytime someone asks Hikaru anything he answers in a very low voice.
Hiakru and the others finishes thier food.
"It was delicious " says sana
"Shall we go back then" aks yuki
"I have to go to washroom you can go first" said hikaru
"We will wait and relax a little more before you come back" says Aki
"Ya, it okay we can wait" says yuki
" Thanks" said Hikaru while frowning at Aki
Hikaru stands up walks a little, opens the door again walks a little enters in men's washroom.
Opens the tap, fills his hand with water and splashes it on his face.
'I was going to wait here until the women's were gone but this plan fails. Now i to be careful that the other woman facing the door don't see me when i go out'
Hikaru prepares himself leaves the washroom and head towards the door.
Hikaru opens the door slightly,
"I will go to washroom for a sec" said Mahiru
Hiakru closes the door back and runs toward the washroom, he wait until Mahiru enters the women's washroom.
He ran back to the door, opens it a little to take a peek at Hana. She was looking outside the window.
Hikaru goes back to his seat.
"ah, you are back. Then let's go" said yuki
HIkaru hide between and behind them so that he that hana can't see his face.
Hiakru safely make back home.
'Today was pretty tiring' thought hikaru.
All of them were in living room. Hiakru asks yuki
"Are you sure though?"
"About what?"
"That Luke will not catch you. I mean i understand that what Miss Melli said. No person can remember someone face if they only saw a glimpse of their, for almost a year"
"I will just change many appearance a little bit, that will be enough"
'change appearance?'thought Hikaru
His imagination again run wild.
"Wait are you going to become a gyaru?" yelled Hiakru
"what's gyaru?" questioned Aki and Sara
"It's a way of dressing and doing makeup which completely changes your appearance, you also change your way of speaking. And I am not going to do it" Answered Yuki
"Then goth?" again yelled Hiakru
"NO" said Yuki and hit Hikaru on head
"I am just going to change my hair style and put on glasses"
"oh, That's good" said Hikaru.
"Well i am going to sleep, the traveling made me tired" says Aki and stands up
"We should all go to sleep, I am pretty sure everyone is tried" says Sana
Everyone said good night to each other and went to sleep.
The next day Hikaru, yuki and sana went to different shops.
First they went to buy ingredients for the meal.
Then they went to cut hikaru's hair.
Then they were finding a shop for buying a new sword for Hikaru.
"You can go back home if you want to." Said hikaru to yuki
"I want to look around the shops here so it's okay"
Hikaru looks around while walking, he sees a slave shop.
"Are you curious about slaves" asks Sana
"Ya, I just thought why do they allow such thing"
"They are the childs the childs who lost their families or are abandoned. The one who raises them and hand to other people takes good care of them and the one they are handed are made sure that they dont misbehave with them. Same goes for adult slaves"
Hikaru get's shoked
"That's a lot different from what I expected. They are doing a good thing then"
"But there are always someone who don't follows these rules and sells slave illegally or force make someone a slave and aslo misbehaves with them"
Reality hits back to Hikaru.
" There is it. We can find a sword here"
They went in the shop and hikaru buyed a sword.Then they straight went to home.
At living room-
"You are not going to take it to the academy right?" Asks Sana
"Why?"
"How will you explain to them that you are a magician and a swordsman, an excellent one at that" said Yuki
"You are abnormal one. You are a magician , a swordsman and a joker. How will they react atleast think about that" said Aki
"You are right " says hikaru and tilts his head.
"Then Sana can you also bring it with you to academy. I may need it sometime"
Sana thinks a little then says
"No problem, i will tel, others it's for just in case one breaks"
"Thanks"
Sana takes the sword from hikaru.
The day went by, next day they spent it with their normal traing.
The Fourth day kicks in.
It's the day of exam.
