Chapter 67:
Spice of life [Remake]
On the second floor's luxury seating area, athletes representing Japan in the upcoming Olympics were gathered at a party hosted by the Ginkawas.
An old man with silver hair and lapis lazuli colored eyes clad in a tan hakama stood on the newly built stage in the center of the main floor and did the introductions. "I am Gozaemon Ginkawa, the mostly retired head of the Ginkawa family. I welcome all that will represent our great country in Rio in the coming weeks," the man stated. He then called two athletes up to the stage. One was a large bald swole man with golden eyes and the other was a buff woman with titanic breasts, lapis lazuli colored eyes, and fiery short red hair. "These are our flag bearers, couple Koki Kuramori and his wife Eika Kuramori!" Gozaemon declared.
Koki immediately flexed, causing his tank-top to rip and expose his chiseled muscles beneath. A young red haired girl with golden eyes let out an audible groan as she sunk into the table.
"What ya sulkin for Emeri? Come up with Eriza!" Eika hollered.
Before the girl could protest, her younger sister picked her up and leapt onto the stage with her. The audience applauded the feat as the girl set her sister down.
"These are our girls Emeri and Eriza. They're gonna be Olympic athletes too. Why, Eriza will likely be competin' in the next Olympics in every event she's eligible to," Koki declared as he flexed.
"I'm not going to be an Olympian," Emeri groaned as she tried to hide in her hoodie.
The group then went back to their table as Gozaemon continued to introduce various other athletes.
...
Rika happily strolled up to Harumi's table to collect her order. In addition to Harumi, Madoka, and Gozaemon, the Kuramoris as well as two high school age twin girls with silver hair and lapis lazuli colored eyes sat at the table.
"So you must be the owner, pleasure for havin us, I'm Gozaemon the mostly retired head of the Ginkawa family," Gozaemon chuckled.
"Rika Komachi; pleased to have you here. Now what would you like to order?" Rika smiled.
"Hey Emeri, you gotta try the crepes here," Madoka grinned.
"Mado-chan, it's dinner time. I just want unagi anyway," Emeri growled at Madoka. As soon as Emeri made eye contact with Rika, she let out a yelp and hid under her hoodie. "U- u- u- unagi," she shuddered.
"She's a little shy. She's a few years older than me though and is like a big sister to me. Double crepes so that I can feed her. Make some of then unagi flavored," Madoka grinned.
Once Rika left, Emeri peeked out to make sure things were clear before emerging from her hoodie and pulling out her phone. Unlike her athletic parents and younger 11-year old sister, Eriza, 14-year old Emeri Kuramori was not very athletic and was more versed in computers and hacking. Her parents, however kept forcing her to do sports, mainly due to their dumb jock personas. Emeri was also very shy around strangers. Since her mother and Harumi were good friends, Emeri got to know the Ginkawas and became close with Madoka, acting like an older sister to her when she was around her.
"The tainted-"
"-Requested junk again," the silver haired twins scoffed.
Oribia and Orise were Harumi's 16-year old first born daughters from her first arraigned marriage. Unlike the others from the Ginkawa family, the twins were the serious no nonsense type. They were also purists that despised any Ginkawa that didn't have silver hair and lapis lazuli colored eyes.
"I'm here with drinks," Mimi smiled as she arrived with a tray of drinks.
"So this is a-"
"-Branch member."
"Hmph," the twins scoffed at Mimi.
"Harumi told me all about you," Gozaemon stated.
"Thanks, so is this Reiju here?" Mimi asked.
"Sadly no. Don't know where she disappeared to all those years ago. I regret that I wasn't nicer to her," Gozaemon sighed.
Mimi nodded and returned to the kitchen.
...
Emeri glared at the unagi crepes before her. "Mado-chan, I'm- Mmph!?"
"Try it, you'll love it," Madoka smiled as she shoved a crepe in Emeri's mouth.
"Umai," Emeri grumbled as she ate.
Emeri's parents and sister, meanwhile, devoured their protein enhancing meals, while Harumi and Gozaemon enjoyed their meals. The twins were the only ones who seemed to be miserable as they ate their caviar and truffles.
...
Once the event was over, everyone began to head home.
"*Sigh* the food was good here," Emeri grumbled as she checked to see how full her wallet was.
"Just take this as a little gift, you're like a granddaughter to me," Gozaemon winked as he slipped some 100,000 yen bills into Emeri's jacket pocket.
"Well, thanks grampy," Emeri smiled.
Inside, Rika and Masaru began cleaning up. "Tonight was really nice. I hope we have more nights like it," Rika smiled.
Seeing Rika's serene smile caused Masaru to blush. He then approached Rika and inched his face closer to hers. Rika closed her eyes and tilted her head back, allowing Masaru to kiss her on the lips.
