Chapter 0:
Storybook: The Making of A King
A loud sound can be heard when a dark blue haired girl suddenly opened a room door and barged in into the room without any notice. She then took off the blanket on the bed inside the room. A boy that wore the blanket to sleep, slowly opened his eyes to see who is the one that disturbed his sleep.
Seeing the boy already opened his eyes, the girl said while smiled a cute smile "Good morning, Ren-chan! Quick! We only has forty-five minutes before the school gate closes!"
"Ahh, I hate Mondays! Also, Tsuki, that means I still have 10 more minutes to sleep!" Shironeko Renji responded to his female childhood friend while struggling to get up fro the bed.
Hearing that respond, Tsukiko tiptoed and messed up his hair even more when it's already a mess. She the said "What're you saying, messy head? Dont be ridiculous! It takes you 10 minutes fir bath and 20 minutes to eat breakfast. And it takes us 10 minutes to reach school from here. We're lucky since our houses are near the school!!"
She started nagging at Renji.
"Now, now. Go take a bath now. Go, go!" She went to behind him and pushed him out of the room to hurry him up.
"Wait! I need the towel!"
After a while, Renji finished his bath and wore the school uniform. He went downstairs even though his hair was still quite messy and not properly done.
He was first greeted by the younger twins, Haru and Haruka. Later greeted by her older brother and older sister, Daiichi and Hina. His father being the usual stoic father was reading newspaper and got scolded by his mother.
"NE, PAPA!! DON'T READ NEWS IN FRONT OF FOODS! THE KIDS GONNA IMITATE YOU WHEN THEY GROW UP!"
The father, Ryosuke folded the newspaper and placed it on the drawer behind him after he got scold by the mother, Kaede. Tsukiko also there joining the family's breakfast. She always joins them no matter the time as the family counted her as a part of the family. She has been friendly with the family since she and Renji in kindergarten. Renji sat beside Tsukiko that sat beside Hina.
"Your hair is a mess, idiot. You should've cut it. It started to cover your eyes now." Tsukiko said to Renji while her hands started to tidy up Renji's hair. "There you go! All done!"
"Shut up, just let it be." Renji said to Tsukiko. He filled his cup with the juice prepared by his mother and drank it.
"Big sister Tsuki and Big brother Ren is like a couple! Are you two boyfriend and girlfriend?"
A sudden question suddenly erupt out of nowhere from Haruka that was still 12 years old. The juice spurted out from Renji's mouth when Haruka suddenly got too curious and asked that question.
"W-what?! No!! Hey, Tsuki. Tell her that we're not a couple." He blushed a little. It's true that they're not a couple. Meanwhile, Tsukiko went daydreaming about them being a couple. Renji can only sigh when he saw her being all shy about it.
"Hmph. ~ Not yet ~" Hina started to tease Renji and Tsukiko with her mouth smiled a sinister smile. Renji got flustered.
"Really??" Haru got excited.
"So when? When you two will start dating each others, big brother? Big sister Tsukiko?" Haruka asked after Haru asked. The twin younger sibling start to pressure him and Tsukiko with questions. He outright told them 'no'.
"Tsuki-chan, I don't mind if you date Renji." The mother told Tsukiko and gave her a thumbs up.
"Mama, no" Renji sigh as he watched her mother and Tsukiko.
The family joked around and made him embarrassed. Daiichi and Ryosuke is the only two being quiet.
After finished their breakfast, Renji and Tsukiko headed out to school.
" I'm going to school now!" both Renji and Tsukiko said only to be told by the family with an 'okay, be safe!'.
" Hey, Renji" Tsukiko called out Renji.
"What?" Renji responded to her call.
"Am I not enough for you? You don't like me? You already have a girlfriend?" Tsukiko asked many questions at once with voids in her eyes.
"Really?! You gonna ask me that?! It's not like that. It just-" Renji sighed. He tried to shift the subject. "Anyways, do you finished the math homework?"
"Why you ask? I finished it on Friday. Don't wanna be busy with homeworks on the weekends."
"Well, I forgot about the homework for the weekends."
She sighed. "It can't be helped then"
Tsukiko reached for a book inside her bag and gave it to him. He took it from her and thanked her.
"Treat me lunch then!" She said cheerfully with a smile while looking bak at him.
The morning went by like usual. When the lunch break came, Tsukiko and Renji went to the school roof and had their lunch there. They talked and joked around playfully.
"Hey, Tsukiko." Renji suddenly called her out with a serious tone.
"What? Why are you suddenly so serious?" Tsukiko weirded out by serious demeanor.
"Well- whatever. Lend me your ears."
"Huh? Okay"
"Tsukiko, I just wanna tell you this." He whispered to her left ear.
"What? Just tell me already." She laughed it out as his voice tickled her her ear.
"Tsukiko, I love you!" He whispered one more time. This time, he truly confessed his live to his childhood friend, Tsukiko.
"What?! You're serious?! Not joking right?!" She asked right away. She hugged him and shouted "I love you too!! Ren-chan, I love you too"
"Hey! Quiet down! You're disturbing other students!"
"Oh yeah. Sorry. I got too excited!! Calm down, Tsukiko. Calm down" She monologue to herself
She got too excited. She tried to calm down but she can't.
"So what now? We're boyfriend and girlfriend now! Okay! First of all, give me a kiss!!"
"What?!"
"What do you mean by 'what'? I'm your girlfriend!" She pouted at Renji. "Kiss me, Ren-chan!! We're the only here right now!"
"Okay, okay. Calm down!"
Renji sat beside Tsukiko. His right hands went for Tsukiko's face. Their face got closer to each other. For a moment, they kissed each others on the lips. Renji was embarrassed by the kiss but calmed down when he saw her cute face.
They then walked back to their classroom. They talked to each other as they walked back to the class
" I'm gonna tell Big sister Hina!!"
"Wait! Don't tell her!!"
"Too late! Already told her on MeowChat!"
He sighed. His phone kept vibrating! He took it out from his pocket. He sighed again. It's a message from his older sister, Hina.
Hina: I told you this morning!!
Hina: HAHAHA! Finally!! That took too long for you to confess. I already told Mama!!
He sigh again and left his sister's message on read.
Tsukiko and Renji finally on the doorstep of their room. He saw a cheerful classroom environment. He opened the door and entered with Tsukiko. Suddenly, the environment changed. They're suddenly entered a kinda formal venue with a lot people wearing fancy clothes
"Umm, Ren-chan. Who're they? I saw the class just now. Now, it changed!A-also where are we?"
