22 Event

"So what do you think of them?" Shizuka asked while she was driving on their way home.

"They're both loners from what I can see."

"They are, but they're on different ends of the spectrum"

"I can see that Shizu-nee, what did you actually drag me into Sobu for?"

"Would you believe me Sora if I said that I intended for you to meet Yukino?" Shizuka chuckled as she said the same words to Sora.

"So you were listening"

Shizuka showed her phone and a voice soon spoke.

"Hai hai! Shizuka told me to tap into the phone so she could hear Yukino and that weird looking boy"

"Tabane-nee do you mind?"

"Of course I'm going out now!" Tabane then ended the call and cut off her program from Sora's phone as she knew the importance of privacy.

"Sorry, I was just worried about the two"

"It's okay I understand" Sora nodded as she was the same Shizuka in the story worried about her students "But did you actually want me to meet with Yukino though?"

"If Cecilia heard you she'd probably blast Sobu by now"

"So instead of looking for a partner instead you're trying to play matchmaker?"

"Hey!"

"It is what it is Shizu-nee, I can handle myself you know, living with six technically eight if you count Houki and Tabane-nee has taught me a lot"

"I see then I'm guessing you no longer need me for tomorrow to mediate"

"I have class"

"But Yukino" Shizuka tried to tease Sora.

"Chifuyu-nee"

"But Yukino"

"Cecilia"

"But Yukino"

"..."

"And Yukino wins" Shizuka laughed as she parked the car as they had arrived back into their home.

"I'll do my best but I can't guarantee anything" Sora sighed and stepped out only to be tackled down by Cecilia who jumped on him

"Sora! Chifuyu-nee beat me up! Beat his brother for me!" Cecilia complained while Sora patted her head to calm her down.

"Cecilia-san really is sly" Ram and Rem observed that Cecilia had a smirk when Sora patted her.

"On a serious note there's another Shizu-nee on campus" Cecilia said as she wiped her tears away.

"Another Shizuka?" Shizuka looked at Rem and Ram and nodded in affirmation.

"She's on the clinic, she's the one who treated Cecilia-san" Rem explained and told Sora what happened during the day and how Cecilia was the target of Chifuyu today.

Cecilia kept hugging Sora and didn't let go until they were inside while Rem and Ram continued to tell the events such as Sena also being beat down by Chifuyu and Momo who was at the top today other than them.

______________

"Good everyone is here" Saya said as she just teleported.

"Mom?" Sora wondered what his mom would do today.

"I'm here to inform all of you that I've just bought another company as for what it is you'll all learn what it is tonight"

"Eh? Tonight?" Every girl in the room wasn't prepared.

"Of course we're going to a party! I want to celebrate and show off!" Saya laughed as she could already taste the wine she ordered.

Saya eventually snapped back into reality and coughed "For the real question, whose going with Sora tonight and give me a good reason" Saya knew these girls were ultra competitive when it comes to her own son.

"I'll pass for tonight, but I get priority on Sora's birthday" Cecilia said as she stood up as she wanted to rest.

Rem and Ram looked at each other and nodded in unison "We'll also pass for tonight, we also want priority on The Administration's anniversary" Ram took the representative role.

"I'll also pass but I want Sora to be with me on Kuoh for the freshmen party" Akeno joined in as she heard everything and kissed Sora's cheeks.

A humanoid robot bunny then appeared on top of the table "Houki-chan says she'll pass but she wants Sora to walk with her on her next Kendo match, as for me? I'm still busy finalizing my super secret gift for Sora!" Tabane laughed as the robot bunny jumped of the table and hibernated on the side again.

"Pass" Shizuka was tired from lecturing her students and also wanted to sleep.

"Guess you're all alone huh, never thought I'd see that day where they're not that competitive, can't say they're idiots since they also reserved some special events especially Cecilia" Saya laughed as she was also to blame since She's the one who taught the girls on how to snag Sora's time.

"I don't mind it that much" Sora smiled at her mother.

"I can see you have a backup up plan? Well do what you want to do just don't force people who don't want to" Saya then teleported as she went to the venue to prepare and meet up with Izumi.

Sora smiled and grabbed his phone.

"Damn it why does bad things keep happening to me today" Chizuru said as she just returned and saw the latest review that was given to her.

"Why does it matter if I don't even know common fish names? I'll prove him wrong next time!" Chizuru then ordered a book but then a notification appeared.

"A rent at this hour?" Chizuru looked at the name of who would rent her

"So-sora!?" Chizuru calmed down "It must be a coincidence, there's a lot of people named Sora" Chizuru thought of cancelling it but.

"It's just a coincidence right?" Chizuru accepted it instead.

"Eh? Another rental from that bastard too?" As soon as she accepted Sora's she saw another notification from the same guy earlier, Chizuru looked at it but didn't do anything and instead started thinking of what to dress.

"Since it's for tonight." Chizuru wanted it to be perfect because after all her rating was on the line.

____________

"I think I put way too much thought into it? Chizuru looked at the mirror as she wore her red turtleneck coupled with her high waist white skirt.

"I think it's getting bigger" Chizuru looked at her chest and then took her trench coat as it was time for her to meet 'Sora', she almost forgot that most clients would give their full name so she decided to check the client's name.

"Was It Musashi? Or Murasaki?" Chizuru checked on the name "Oh, Hiratsuka" somehow she felt a bit disappointed that it wasn't the Sora she knew.

"Wait! He's still sixteen! What am I thinking!" Chizuru tried to cheer herself up and waited in front of the street of her apartment.

"Well I was told to wait" As soon as she said that she saw a luxury car arriving and stopping in front of her

Chizuru thought that it was one of those rich ugly men and she instantly took out her phone to cancel the rental if it was the case but once she saw who came outside.

"Eh!?"

___________

"You planned this didn't you?" Chizuru asked Sora who was currently driving.

"I did but I didn't know that you also were on the application"

"But aren't you like sixteen?"

"Does age even matter? I've seen old people fall in love with younger people and vice versa"

"You have a point, but that doesn't explain why you're on the app"

"I just wanted to check it out and copy some of its features for my own app in the future but I didn't know I was gonna need it until tonight" Sora smiled as he was purposefully driving slow than usual.

"You're a handsome teen you shouldn't be lacking any girlfriend?" Chizuru observed Sora from head to toe as he wore a white tuxedo with blue accent making him more standout and instead of his usual hair he styled it as it was now slicking back which made him even look more mature she didn't believe that a high school student like Sora could be this handsome again.

"They all declined and instead scheduled themselves on another event" Sora smiled at Chizuru who was staring at him

"Wait! What do you mean by All!?"

"All, as in many"

"Yo-you have a harem!?" Chizuru was shocked.

"If you put it that way then yes, want to join?"

"You're joking right?"

Sora just looked at Chizuru and had a smirk on his face then looked at the road and continued driving.

"You're really joking right about having a harem?" Sora didn't respond to Chizuru who sighed after he wanted to let her realize it.

"You sounded more pissed off than I remember what happened?"

Chizuru then told Sora what had happened as if they had known a long time.

"Just because you don't know the common names of fish?" Sora thought that it too was an absurd reason.

"Yeah, and he wanted to rent me again tomorrow"

"He can't" Sora smiled which made Chizuru curious.

"Eh? Why?"

"You didn't read the mail?"

"What mail!?" Chizuru panicked as she grabbed her phone and checked her inbox.

"You just accepted my request and didn't read the mail huh?" Sure enough as Chizuru opened her inbox she received a mail from her company and started reading it.

"You rented me for a year!?"

"Before you say anything, it doesn't mean that you have to spend every day with me 24/7"

"But that's for a year! And what am I even going to do anyway!" Chizuru felt conflicted a she thought it the pay was good to pass up and she would get a lot of free time and may even participate in Acting lessons but.

"Look I'm sorry if you don't like the terms, I'll call your company tomorrow and"

"No-no! That's not what I meant but, what are we even gonna do for an entire year?"

"We'll know when we get there, and speaking of getting there we're almost at the venue."

"Before we get there what's your real name?"

"I told you before it's Murasaki, I just use Hiratsuka sometimes and if you're wondering it's my father's surname so its still my real name but usually use Murasaki most of the time."

"Chizuru"

"Chizuru what?"

"Chizuru Ichinose, it's also my real name" Chizuru felt a bit better when she told Sora her real name.

"We're here" As soon as Sora said that Chizuru looked at how grand the venue was and how rich Sora's family and what event would they be attending together.

"Wait here" Sora got out of the car and went to open the door on Chizuru's side and helped her.

"Thanks" Chizuru felt giddy at the moment that they held hands and Sora's hands was somewhat smooth, when she looked at the red carpet in front of her she was shocked once more.

"Welcome Sora-sama" butlers and maids lined-up in front of the entrance bowing at Sora who waved at them telling them to be at ease soon these people went closer to them.

"May I miss?" A maid asked permission from Chizuru to give her coat onto her and Chizuru relented it while Sora gave his keys to one of the butler to park his car.

"Is this what being rich feels like? what event are we attending anyway?"

Sora offered his arm to Chizuru who accepted it and clung on him even if she was a rental girlfriend she felt she needed to as this was a whole different experience for her.

"Sort of, My mom just bought a company as for what it is, I don't even know"

Chizuru just nodded and didn't say anything else as she finally confirmed that Sora's family was loaded, somehow she was even more curious about his life and soon wondered what events would be waiting for them or more specifically for her during tonight's date?

____________

A/N : To those wondering why the previous girls passed up the opportunity well let's just say that during those 13 years they already attended lots and have rotated and now they just want to get specific dates such as anniversaries etc., and Saya getting a company in their eyes is nothing new and special about it unless its a major acquisition as they also know who would usually attend and they've also asserted themselves during those years which scared off some upcoming characters lmao
