Chapter 5:
Yui
“The trivia show will start soon, is everyone ready?” asked Yui sitting in front of his computer checking if his microphone works fine.
Nakata sat near his computer connecting Yui’s computer to the trivia show server.
Kimori read a whole bunch of books starting after lunch to increase his knowledge a bit more, he asked Aku if she wants to read one of the books too, her answer was:
“It doesn’t matter how many books you read, your knowledge will never be as big as mine.”
So instead she spent her time sleeping on the couch.
Eda and Minato watched the TV channel on a phone Eda built, waiting to give a sign once the commercials between the news and the trivia show end.
“It’s starting it’s starting!” shouted Minato.
“Ah” Aku woke up, somehow her hair stayed as neat as before.
“Hello and welcome to “Answer The Milion VIP”!!” the host smiled unnaturally with his white as bleach teeths.
“Today our guests are the actor of mr.cat cat from the lovable kids show “Mr.cat cat and tiny Lula”, KUKUSHI KAKASHU!”
“What a dumb name” Aku gigled loudly.
“Next time I go to a show like this please clarify who I am using my more serious rules in shows, thank you in advance” Kukushi looked straight at the camera.
“The person that will fight Kukushi on a million dolar today is an anonymous man that is trying to be a prime minister!” the host was about to shout a name but soon remembered he had no name to shout “sir, what should I call you?”
“Call me the white dot” Yui whispered into his microphone.
“THE WHITE DOT!” the host returned to his past way of talking. “I will now explain the rules to the competitors and the viewers from home who have never watched our show yet!!” the fake excitement of the host was annoying and didn’t looked real at all. “We have SIX questions for every one of you. Each one of you can be wrong THREE times!!! The first one to lose his three chances or the one with more mistakes in the end of the TWELVE questions will lose the MILION to the other competitor!!!”
The host leaned and showed his ear to the camera like he is listening to something “what is that you ask? what will happen if the two of them have the same number of chances left?”
Aku didn’t liked the host’s way of talking “nobody asked.”
The host’s tall and slim body moved to the middle of the stage “we will ask them more questions!!!”
“Who would guess?” Aku spet.
“They will both answer the same question!!! if they both answer correctly we will have another question, if one of them is right and the other one is wrong the right one will get the million and if they are both wrong they will both lose!!!!”
“When do we start?” Aku lost her patience.
“You heard about something called patience?” Yui lost his patience too.
“First question is for white dot!!!” the host got tired from smiling for so long “who didn’t show in the book Alice In Wonderland? 1. a rabbit 2. a lion 3. a human 4. a cat”
“That’s too easy, the answer is a lion” said Kimori and Aku noded to agree.
“The answer is 2” Yui said through his microphone.
“You are right!!!” the host screamed his tongue out “now we have a riddle for mr. Kukushi!!! what animal was shown in the wizard of oz? 1. a rabbit 2. a lion 3. a giraffe 4. a cat”
“It’s a lion” Kakushi looked bored.
“Right answer! from now on the questions will be harder!!”
The both of them, Kakushi and Yui answered right everything, question after question, the host's fake excitement became actual surprisement. He didn’t expect a man that is known for being in a cat costume to be so smart. None of them thought twice before they easily answered every riddle perfectly, the host’s confidence decreased faster than the speed of light. Kimori and Aku agreed on all the six questions until…
“Well then... looks like we are done with the twelve questions…. so we will enter the next level I guess….” the host's smile erased from his face and he looked much less confident in himself than before. At least he is less annoying that way, everyone thought to themselves in relief.
“The question you will answer now is this….: what word in hebrew doesn’t mean happiness or joy: 1.rina 2. gila 3.ditsa 4. yagon… white dot will answer first”
Kimori looked very nervous “I never learnt anything about hebrew” he started thinking for some time and came with a guess: “rin sounds like a name more than the others, I guess rina doesn’t mean happiness but again, don’t put your full trust on me boss.”
“The answer is yagon” Aku said unimpressed.
“My answer is rin” said Yui confidently.
“Wait what?” Aku stood up with rage “it’s not our deal! you said you will choose my answer!”
Yui ignored Aku and waited until the host will show the answer.
“Mr.Kukushi, what is your answer?” the host asked.
“It is yagon” Kukushi choose.
“Yagon you said?” the host did an exaggerated questioning face “I will just say for now one of you are right”
Yui knows already, if he was the wrong one he will not only lose a million dollars but also his ego, his ego to Aku and his ego to the whole nation.
“And the right answer is….”
Yui could imagine the face Aku would make if Kimori said the right answer.
“Yagon!!!”
The same face Yui imagined on Aku’s face appeared on his own face.
“So I can stay now” Aku said with a winning smile “I know every language fluently, it was an easy one.”
Yui knew, his ego will never return.
“So she stays?” Nakata jumped happily.
Minato was putting a hand on his face and asked “What’s in god sake wrong with you?”
