17 Ch 16 - Slow Down, Girls! Pt. 1

We cleaned up everything, everybody slowly went back to their rooms, of course, telling Miyabi and the others that they'll be going back, and we all went back to our daily business. Of course, some had to hang out with Miyabi, like Izuru and Aruran. Others, like me, had to do some personal business.

Mine was to do the finishing touches of the mix for my remix of Calli's song and then record the vocals.

"Hoo...shit, let's get this done, shall we? I'll do the video editing shit and whatnot later on."

I did so, and added more effects in the project. Once it was done, I went and rapped the vocals. I did stop for some parts, since I wanted to save those for the adlib parts. 1: Because it's literally an adlib part of the song, and 2: My air would run out, so I gotta do a few more takes to make the remix's vocals clean.

It is doable if it's live. Just that it would sound weird if I just let the 1st take be the final vocals. Besides, Calli had some adlibs there, so this ain't cheating.

I will admit, the end part? I hope I wasn't too noisy for everybody. I screamed the living hell out of my vocal cords. Not that I broke it, but you know...screamos and shouting.

After that was done, I breathed out and stretched.

"Owtsucurrysama deshhta." I said 'Otsukaresama deshita' in a very english accent.

"I guess I'll be going out and do a quick check on Miyabi to see how he's doing." I said as I got out of my chair, got my mask, and went out to the living room.

I didn't see him there, so I walked towards his room, but stood in front of it as I listened through the door.

The sounds that can be heard through it were Miyabi, Izuru, Aruran, and even Roberu laughing inside his room. Roberu said something like "Oi, omae! How could you just mercilessly give me a reverse card?!"

I'm guessing they were playing Uno using real cards. I had to go back to my room, since I had a sudden change of mind where I'll try preparing the video that I'll be showing for my debut, which was my remix of Calli's song.

Just when I grabbed the doorknob, I thought back to something…that something was Roboco going back up the stairs as she slouched a bit and had red eyes.

"Hmm…"

'Well, it's not like I have a crush on her anyway. I guess it won't hurt to see if I could help her.' I sighed and shrugged.

I went upstairs and looked for a door named "Roboco". I saw that it was near Sora's room, and I moved closer to her door. I waited for a bit, hoping to hear something through it.

It was faint, but I heard Sora's voice through it saying "Hey, Roboco-chan. It's okay. I mean, I may have never gotten a boyfriend before, and I don't really know what it's like to be cheated on, but...you know, just remember, we're here for you, okay? I think it's really better to have loyal friends than to have a relationship that lasted for a month!"

I widened my eyes and clenched my fists when I heard the words "boyfriend", "cheated", and "relationship".

'...She was cheated on?'

It made me think back to my 4th crush. She was very cute, had a big butt, chest a bit bigger than flat, very talented, doing things like 3d animation, CS:GO pro, fast Tetris player, and quite a smart girl, having a good business mentality...but was very flirty, and fucked her own cousin that was 4 years older than her. She did do anal and blowjob only though. She never got her "sensitive spot" touched.

I sighed, feeling a bit of an imaginary knife piercing my heart.

I may have never gotten cheated on before, but to know that somebody you had feelings for, especially one you got very intimate with, had sexual relationships with other people hurts a lot.

'...I hope your boyfriend rots in hell, Roboco.' I clenched my teeth.

"Y-Yeah...thank you so much for your support, Sora-chan, especially Suisei and the others. At least you guys are here by my side forever." Roboco giggled.

"Yeah...I'll be going back to my room now, Roboco-chan. Just call me if you want somebody to talk to, okay?" Sora said.

"Un. Sorry for taking up most of your time." Roboco giggled again.

"Don't worry. We're all family here, so don't worry about it." Sora giggled too.

I heard footsteps towards the door, and sighed as I stood in front of it.

The door got opened, and Sora looked forward, before opening her mouth to an "o" shape and looking up slowly.

"Shiro-kun...?"

"Yeah, it's me. Anyway, mind if I talk with Roboco for a sec?" I asked Sora.

"U-Uhm...Roboco-chan? Shiro-kun wants to talk with you. Is it okay...?" Sora asked Roboco.

"Hmm? Shiro-kun?" Roboco said as she looked me in the eyes. I looked her back in the eyes and saw that her eyes weren't as red as before. It's definitely whiter than before, but I can tell she still didn't recover completely.

"Is it okay?" I asked.

"...Okay. Please let him in, Sora-chan." Roboco said as she faced Sora.

She nodded, and looked at me with a smile.

"Please take care of Roboco-chan, okay?" Sora asked.

"Of course. It's not like I'm a pervert anyway."

'Well, I am, but...I'm not really thinking of doing anything sexual with Roboco.' I sweat dropped.

Sora got out, and I got inside Roboco's room, closing her door, and then sitting on her bed as she made way.

"Sigh...so."

I looked at Roboco.

"You got NTR'd, huh?"

She looked away a bit and frowned as she put her hands together and clenched it a bit.

"...Y-Yeah."

"Well...if you don't mind it, could you tell me the details?" I asked.

"...W-Well, I could, but…"

She looked at me.

"Why're you doing this?"

"Doing what? Putting my nose into your business?"

"Yeah..."

"Well...I won't tell much details, but I do know the feeling of being 'cheated' on. I used to like a girl before so much...and then she would casually fuck one guy every time she's horny."

I chuckled.

"The bitch even had the balls to say she liked me..."

I looked at her.

"But anyway, enough flashbacks...you mind telling me the whole thing?"

"Ah, okay...see, it started out like this…"

~March 03, 2021 4:00 AM~

~~Roboco's POV~~

I packed up my sling bag, put on some perfume, and just put some lipstick on as I looked at the mirror, seeing if my clothes were okay, and my hair was tidy.

"...Phew, alright…time to go."

I wasn't able to sleep at midnight because it was just so weird...Before, he would spend so much time with me. Nowadays, he barely even calls me...he does text me, but nowadays, it's just a case of checking up on each other. He hasn't been telling me what he's doing lately. He only keeps asking me as to what I have been doing.

He even keeps hitting me with the same reply, "Nothing much. Just doing work." I had to get to the bottom of this. He is quite busy as a store manager, but there's no way a store manager takes THAT much time off of his day.

I took a taxi, went towards his apartment, and I got off as I breathed out.

"Man, it's very cold right now."

I went up the stairs, going up to his room, and there was one thing at the back of my mind as I made my way here, and that was:

'...Is he cheating on me?'

I didn't want to go to conclusions just yet. For all I know, he could just be that busy...but there are days where we don't talk much for a week, which is too strange to be a case of him being busy.

I got near the door, but just before I was gonna knock on his door to see if he was there, I heard some noises in the room.

"Ah...Miyaki...!" My boyfriend said.

"Ah..! More...! Fuck me harder, please...!~" I heard a female's voice inside his room.

I widened my eyes and held my mouth as I took a few steps back from the door.

"N-No...there's no way he's…"

'..Y-Yeah...He's probably just...watching porn without headphones on...I mean, there are some men like that, right? There are some men that like hearing the real thing without headphones on.' I thought as the back of my mind knew that the sound of the girl's moan was too real for it to sound like it came from speakers.

Despite that though, my hands trembled so much that my voice is also getting affected by it. My heart felt like it broke into several pieces, like ice being broken until it shattered into a million pieces. That's what I felt like. It hurt so much that I even fell backwards and landed on my left side as I looked at the door of my boyfriend's room.

"...N-No...he's just letting off...there's no way it's a woman...right?"

I went to the door and knocked on it 3 times, using one hand to cover my mouth as to muffle my cries, and I used the other to knock on the door.

I heard a few whispers through the door. It made my heart shatter more hearing something like "Hey, go to the closet. This'll be quick, don't worry."

The door finally opened, and I saw my boyfriend behind it, only wearing his boxer short.

"Ah, Roboco! Babe! What's the problem? Why'd you come here early this morning-"

"GET OUT!" I said as I pushed him to the side immediately and stormed inside the room like a SWAT team. He did stumble backwards, but he caught his balance.

"H-Hey, what're you doing-"

It was too late. I opened his closet, and saw a naked girl with black long hair and purple eyes as she looked at me and gasped. I gasped back and held my mouth as I took a couple steps backwards. I even dropped my bag out of surprise.

"Kaito, you...!" I said as I suddenly hit a warm object behind me, only to then realize, as I turned around, that it was Kaito, looking down on me like a person looking down at a pest.

"Sigh...you really are a fucking bitch, aren't you?"

I widened my eyes, and my heart broke into more pieces. At this point, one more shatter in my heart, and I could really die. Like, I COULD REALLY DIE!!

"This is why I loved her instead. She follows everything I say like an obedient pet, unlike a bitch like you."

'No more...! No more...!' I thought.

"W-Why...?"

"Well, why wouldn't I? I mean, she's way hotter than you. Matter of fact, she's more stable than you, and loves me more than you do."

I clenched my fists and gritted my teeth as I raised my fist and punched his chest.

"HOW COULD YOU?! WHAT THE HELL DO YOU MEAN SHE LOVES YOU MORE THAN I DO?! I LOVED YOU SO MUCH THAT I COULDN'T SLEEP FOR SO MANY DAYS BECAUSE I WAS WORRIED ABOUT WHY WE WEREN'T ABLE TO TALK TO EACH OTHER FOR A LONG TIME...!"

I looked up at him with my eyes full of tears that are flowing faster than the fastest river in the world.

"One year...WE WERE TOGETHER FOR ONE YEAR! AND YOU'RE GONNA THROW AWAY THOSE MEMORIES LIKE I WAS A TOY?!"

"...Heh. Yeah."

I widened my eyes more, and without even thinking about it, I grabbed my bag, and I went out of his room, thinking nothing but to run in an alleyway, and just cry near a dumpster.

'W-When did it happen...?!' I thought in my mind.

I didn't even care what was in front of me. I just let my mind think of so many things as I kept running. I was practically lost in my thoughts.

'Why did he cheat on me?! Am I not good enough?! Why am I not good enough?!'

'Am I just a toy?! Is it because of my body?! I did so much for him! I loved him so much...!'

'Now that I think about it, we never had sex...That damn woman...!!!'

I finally reached an alleyway, and did what I intended to do in the first place. Hide behind a dumpster, lean against the wall, and cry my heart out as I covered my face.

'...There's no use anyway...our relationship already ended the moment he looked at me that way…'

It's over...we're not boyfriend and girlfriend anymore. I'm now nothing but a memory to him...He's happier with that cheap bitch of his.

~Back to the present moment~

~~Shiro's POV~~

"So...yeah...that's kind of what happened." Roboco said while scratching her head and giggling.

I clenched my fists that were resting on Roboco's bedsheets as I looked down at the floor.

'...That fucking asshole.'

"Pathetic, right? Eheheh…" She giggled nervously.

"No." I said immediately.

I grabbed Roboco's shoulder and she looked me in the eyes, surprised by what I did so suddenly.

"You're you, Roboco. You're not pathetic, nor are you trash. You're not a bitch either."

I tightened my grip, but not so much as to hurt her. Just to make my grip firmer.

"S-Shiro-kun…"

"You're a woman. Not a toy, neither are you not good enough. Assholes like your ex exist for their own self-pleasure."

I breathed out, but it wavered a bit as I thought in my mind: 'Oh god...too many girls to take care of at once…'

"I don't want to sound too suggestive, but I bet you, if I wanted to, I'd make you my girlfriend."

"W-W-What...?!-"

"J-Just hypothetical. I'm just saying that there's nothing wrong for a man to make you their girlfriend. I-I'm not in the mood for that right now..."

I thought back to my date with Subaru and blushed a bit.

'T-Totally not in the mood right now…'

"O-Oh...of course." Roboco giggled nervously.

"Sigh...well, I guess I'm done with saying my point. Now's the time I give you advice."

I released her shoulder.

"I may not be a cheater, but I was a fuckboy before. I used to be interested in a lot of girls, so I essentially know your ex-boyfriend's mentality. If I were you, I'd rather wait for another man."

I stood up.

"I don't know about you. I don't really care if you decide to forgive him in the end, but I warn you, Roboco. He won't listen and WILL cheat on you again if he ever broke up with his bitch now and went back to you."

"It's better if you just wait for another man or try to find one right now. I recommend waiting though." I continued.

"...Well…"

Roboco looked me in the eyes, and smiled in a bittersweet manner.

"Mind being my boyfriend?"

"...What?" I blinked twice.

"Well...I have two reasons for that." Roboco giggled and scratched her head while looking away.

"And those are...?"

"1st, you said that I should either wait or look for a man, so...I'm following your advice. 2nd…"

She looked me back in the eyes and said, "I want to get back at him."

"...Ah...I knew it."

I sat back down on her bed and sighed.

"Welp, that was a rather cliche answer."

I looked at Roboco.

"No, I won't become your boyfriend."

"...Heh. Well, I guess I expected that to be your answer." Roboco held her arm and looked away.

"Well, let me just elaborate why I refused. 1: I'm not interested in you. 2: Even if I was, we'd have to know each other more. We'd have to go on dates, know each other's secrets, hang out together, and most importantly, keep in touch with each other. And 3…"

"'Get back at him'? You gotta be joking. If he cheated on you, that meant that he lost interest in you the moment he laid eyes on that woman. For you to get back at him, you literally have to be my girlfriend for a long period of time and get back with him, only to then reveal that you were mine all along."

I breathed out.

"If I was you, I'd rather cut all connections and not talk with him anymore. Block him on your contacts, block him on discord, LINE, whatever. Just cut him out."

I stood back up again.

"Of course, I know what it's like to have a broken heart. Take it one step at a time, and slowly get him out of your life." I said as I started walking away.

"...But Shiro-kun."

"...Hmm?" I stopped and turned towards her.

"In case I meet him, and he talks to me, what do I do?"

"Either tell him you're busy, or fake that you have another boyfriend. Easy as that."

"E-Eh?"

"Trust me, that works. The more you stay away from him, the better."

"B-But wouldn't that make him more curious?"

"Tell him you got to meet your fake boyfriend now and don't have time to waste."

"B-But Shiro-kun-"

"Roboco." I said in a more powerful tone, but not too harsh that it sounds like I'm angry.

She widened her eyes and straightened her back.

"...You're overthinking things."

I chuckled and smirked.

"Don't worry. Just like what he said earlier. He's better off loving that bitch of his than somebody like you." I said as I opened the door and closed it.

"Okay...well, I'm done talking with a recently heartbroken person. Time to go back to my room and make the video…"

~~Roboco's POV~~

I looked at the door that was being closed by Shiro, and then softened my eyes.

"...I'm overthinking it, huh...?"

I looked down, and recalled everything we did in this room. Everything he said, his advice, and especially when he snapped and held my shoulder.

I got my phone, opened it, and went to my contacts, looking for a name called "Kaito".

"...Well, Shiro-kun's right..."

'I may not have recovered yet...but soon enough, when I feel like I have gotten back on my feet, I'll slowly cut connections with him...' I thought as I looked at his number on my phone.

"'Take it one step at a time'..."

I recalled the memories we spent together, like me sleeping over his place, waking up early to cook him breakfast, going out to the movies with him, and even going out to the bar to drink with him.

"..." I tightened my grip on the phone even more.

~~Shiro's POV~~

"Killin' them like Krillin. In an instant, you're a goner. You barely stand a chance with a knife to a gunner...dudder. Thirsty for my dick, they need water." I chuckled in the middle of saying that improvised 'thirsty' line.

"...Ah, Shiro-niichan!" I heard at the couches.

"Oh? Rushia?" I looked at her while squinting a bit.

"What are you doing? Aren't you supposed to be sleeping?" I asked.

"A-Ah, yeah. I was, but...I needed to tell you something." She said while grabbing her left arm.

"Well, what is it?"

"Well...remember when you dropped me off at my mom's house?"

"Yeah?"

"Well, later this afternoon, me, my mom, and my brother, will go visit my dad in the hospital. I-I forgot to tell you when I woke up." She giggled nervously.

I widened my eyes and did a small smile.

"Wait, does that mean your dad's operation was a success?"

"Well...I didn't get a message from my mom. She usually checks up on dad around the morning time. But I'm sure his operation was a success. I mean...it was thanks to you that he's finally back to normal." She smiled.

I put my right hand into a fist and elbowed downwards while grinning.

"Let's fucking go...!" I said in English.

"So...you're gonna go visit him later?"

"Un. Also...I also wanted to tell you that I talked about my mom and brother about the money too, and who it came from…"

"...Oh, I see. Un, un."

"Well...if you don't mind, could you please take enough time to meet my big brother and mom?"

"Oh, of course, Rushia. What time?"

"Around 5? I mean, they were planning to meet him before dinner time, which is usually 7 for them, so…"

"Ah, okay. I mean, I have enough time anyway for dinner."

'I just hope I won't have to eat dinner with them. That's embarrassing.' I sweat dropped and blushed.

Not that I wouldn't like to eat dinner with them, but...you know...I don't want to act like I'm close to them. I'm nothing but a stranger that decided to help them.

"So, 5 in the afternoon, right?"

"Un. If you can, please come early, okay?"

"Okay." I chuckled.

"Shouldn't you go to sleep now?" I asked her.

"Y-Yeah...I was napping here a bit to wait for you, so...oh yeah, Shiro-niichan."

"Hmm?"

She looked away and fidgeted with her hands.

"Can you please duck down and let me give you a kiss on the cheek before I sleep?"

"Ah-" I blushed a bit and stiffened a bit.

"I-It's just so that I can sleep with comfort. Pretty please...?"

'Dammit. I got such a cute sister figure...! I mean, it's hella embarrassing, but fuck...!' I thought in my mind.

"W-Well, do it quickly. It's embarrassing if the others see it." I groaned and ducked down.

I closed my eyes and showed my left cheek to her, feeling her soft lips against my cheek, like what my mom did to me every time she left to do operations outside the country.

It felt the same, but different at the same time. Soft, passionate, connected, and you can feel her intentions being pure, wanting nothing but to indirectly say "I love you."

"There we go!" Rushia giggled.

"W-Well, are you gonna go to your room now?" I asked.

"Yup! Take care, Shiro-niichan!" Rushia said as she walked past me.

I looked back at her, and saw her going back upstairs as I walked back to my room.

"...Heh. Well, guess I gotta be formal when I meet her parents." I said as I grabbed the doorknob of my door and opened the door.

I went back to my computer, and I continued making the video. So, being a person that has to interact with fans and work at the same time, I went back and forth between working for the video and going to Twitter. Here were a few questions I got from Twitter.

"So...how many languages do you actually know, Shiro?"

My reply: "If it's strictly about knowing, regardless if I'm fluent or not, 9. If it were languages that I'm at least conversationally fluent in, only 5. I'mma reveal those in the debut stream, so stay tuned for that!"

"So, do you intend to destroy Yagoo's dream? Seeing as you're causing so much chaos lol."

My reply: "What's there to destroy if it never existed in the first place? OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

"Why did you learn languages in the first place?"

My reply: "I used to go to a lot of countries before, and because most of those countries might not speak English very well, I was more or less forced to learn their language for that purpose only. So basically, if there's a language I don't know how to speak, chances are, it never served a purpose to me in the first place."

And even Ina made a tweet. It was in korean characters.

"Neo hangugmal hal su iss-eo? (Can you speak korean?)"

I chuckled, knowing this was bound to happen. Which was that one of my senpais would try to ask me if I can speak their language.

I replied with "Ne, hangugmal-eul hal su iss-eoyo (Yes, I can speak korean too)."

'Well, just like what I said to that one dude, I'll just clear it up that I'm multilingual, not a polyglot. Even though I fit the description, I wouldn't consider myself that.' I sweat dropped.

~Note: I used Google Translate and watched videos to do this, so any Korean-speakers out there, feel free to criticize my Korean if it seems bad~

I continued with the video, and after I was done with the preparations, I stretched and got out of my seat.

"I'll continue the rest later on. I guess I'll go drink water."

I did so, and went to the kitchen. After that, I went to the bathroom, and peed. I went back to my computer, and continued my video. What was the plan I had in mind as I was making the video?

Think of Calli's video, but it's a bit calmer in the verses. When it comes to the chorus and pre-chorus, I would bump it up. Of course, being a very vulgar person, and a person that loves hiphop and dark themes, I would make it more bloody and unsettling the more the video progressed. However, in the end, I would calm it down, only to bring it back to being bloody in the last few seconds of the MV.

In the middle of the video, like exactly in the middle of the video as I was making the captions and the character movements of my 2d model, I heard a voice through the door.

"Shiro-kun...?"

"...Oh? Coming!" I said as I got rid of my headphones and went towards the door.

I opened it, and I saw Roboco putting her hands together.

"Yo, wassup?" I said in a plain tone.

"U-Um...Shiro-kun?"

"Yeah?"

"Could you please accompany me to buy food outside later? A-Are you busy actually?" She said as she tried to look at my computer behind me.

"Um, not that much. Why do you want me as a companion though? Couldn't you ask somebody else?"

"Well...you see, the place I'm going to is around the vicinity where my...ex-boyfriend lives in."

"And where does he live?"

"In Tokyo, Edogawa…"

"Huh, not that far, but not too close...don't you know any other place other than there anyway?"

"W-Well, I do, but...I know some shops there that were cheaper than the other places I know."

"And...couldn't you ask somebody like Sora to help you?"

"Well, she's streaming now...and so are the others. I mean, AZKi-chan is also busy with her business too."

She grabbed my hand and raised it.

"And also, it's 'cause I'd like a man to accompany me. Somebody I could trust that can act like my boyfriend to keep my ex away and also provide me company. Pretty please? I won't bother you after this!"

I looked at her, frowning a bit with her mouth pointing downwards. I sighed, and retracted my hand.

"Sigh...it can't be helped, can it?" I chuckled and shrugged.

"What time?"

"10:30. Is it okay with you?"

"Yeah, sure. I got time. I also would like to buy my own food too anyway. So, I guess that's a date." I chuckled.

Roboco blushed a bit and jumped.

"A-A-A-A what now?"

"Oh, sorry for my weird wording. I meant that it's an appointment."

"Oh...I see." Roboco giggled nervously.

"Well, go back to your room. It's like an hour from now, right?"

"Un! Thanks, Shiro-kun!" Roboco said as she turned to the stairs.

When she did though, 3 girls came down the stairs, and they all looked in my direction. Roboco even paused for a bit as me and her both looked at the 3 girls looking at me.

"Oh?" We said.

It was Kiara, Noel, and Flare. Kiara went first and ran towards me. Of course, because she's boing boing, I had to look at her face. That doesn't mean my eye didn't catch the jiggle physics. Peripheral vision IS a thing, so...

"Hey, Shiro! You busy?" Kiara asked.

"Not really. Why?" I asked.

I saw Noel and Flare coming to our direction too. I had to keep my focus on Kiara, since Noel is the most yabai here. Wearing normal clothes, yet her chest is POPPING.

"Um...well, let Flare-senpai talk it out." Kiara said as she stepped to the side to let Flare take over.

"So uh...after what you did for us last night, we thought we should try to be like you, trying to be open to more things." Flare said.

"And we thought, 'why not learn a language?'" Flare continued.

"Huh, I see. However…"

I sweat dropped.

"How did it go from thinking about last night to wanting to learn a language?" I asked.

"Well, you know...you did a lot of stuff yesterday. Me and Noel were quite inspired so…" Flare played with her hair and looked away.

"We thought we'd like to try stepping out of our comfort zone and try something we always wanted to chase! For me, I always wanted to learn German! And Kiara is here to help me! As for Noel…"

"Shiro-kun, can you please teach me English? I'll pay you if you want some money, just please help me improve my English...?" Noel asked with her hands together.

"Oh yeah, Shiro-kun. Noel and Flare would also like it if they're near each other, so we're gonna be in the same room when we teach them. Is it okay? I mean, you don't have to accept it, it's just that...you know." Kiara shrugged and giggled a bit.

"Well, I guess I can do stuff to help Noel. Let's get this started, ey? I mean…"

I looked at Roboco.

"I got something to do with Roboco later at 10:30."

"...Eh?~ Roboco-senpai?~" Noel teased.

"E-Eh?" Roboco blushed a bit and widened her eyes.

"Eh?~ 'Misogynistic' guy, Shiro?~" Kiara asked.

"E-Excuse me?" I said while sweat dropping and blinking my eyes.

"I-I-It's not like that!" Roboco waved her hands side to side frantically while I sighed.

"There's nothing going on. It's just a case of accompanying her. Now, shall we get started with teaching?"

"A-Ah? Ah, sure!" Noel said.

"Ah yeah, let's go!" Kiara said.

'Sigh...welp, I spared Roboco the trouble of clearing that misunderstanding.' I deadpanned.

I can see why though. Roboco is quite good girlfriend material. Hope that the next man won't be an asshole like her last one.

Me, Noel, Flare, and Kiara went up, and into Noel's room. We got a few notebooks that they had, and me and Kiara started teaching our students. Hers was Flare, mine was Noel. Kiara taught Flare on Noel's bed, while I taught Noel on her computer table.

Because it's English I'm teaching, and Noel knows some English, I mainly have to improve her pronunciation.

"Alright, Noel. So, I will teach you English, but let me tell you what you mainly need to improve."

"Un, un."

"Your pronunciation needs more work than your grammar and vocabulary."

"...Eh? Why?"

"Well…" I said while clearing my throat.

"I mean...imagine this, Noel…'WaTAshi no naMAE wa IshiJIN SHIro. WaTAshi wa niHONjin DAyo.'...there's no way you didn't physically cringe and thought it sounded rather gibberish, right?"

Noel covered her mouth with her right forearm.

"Y-Y-Yeah." She said while giggling a bit.

"Well, how about we start?"

"Un!"

I started teaching her BASIC pronunciation. Not that complicated gibberish, but just how to adapt to English tongues. Long story short, trying to convert her tongue so that instead of saying "Aisu kuriimu", she would instead say "ice cream". It was sort of hard at the start, but once she got the pronunciations down, I gotta say…

She's learned hella fast. I asked her to pronounce "Dog", and she said it as "Doggu". Now she's saying "Dog." A slight "dogu" sound, but it's close enough that her pronunciation was getting good.

I then taught her basic English phrases. "Good morning", "Good evening", "Hello", "Goodbye", "I like…", etc. I will admit, she butchered up the pronunciation again, but I told her one good advice.

"Okay, Noel...you're having trouble saying 'I like streaming', so I want you to think of it this way. Don't think that you're a Japanese person trying to speak English. Imagine yourself as an English person itself. Okay? Try to imagine that, and pretend you don't know an iota of Japanese."

"H-How does that work?"

"Think of it like this. 'Hello-, Maya neemu issu Shiro'. Now, let's say I was your level, but I had to do good pronunciation, it would be something like 'Hello, may neem is Shiro'. See the difference?"

"Ah...! Wait, lemme try...Ehem. Uh...I layk sutreaming…" She said the last sylalble with a blatant throat stop like she's closing her vocal cords.

"Yeah, like that. That's closer than I thought. Heh. You're a good learner, Noel."

"A-Ah...thank you." Noel said while twirling her hair.

"You're a very good teacher, Shiro-kun. Do you need me to pay something after this?"

"Nah. I'm doing this to kill time. That, and I guess I don't mind teaching anyway. Besides, I like talking about these types of topics." I smirked and chuckled.

"I see...well, mind teaching me more phrases?"

"Sure. Just make sure you remember these phrases, okay? Don't push your brain too far."

"Don't worry! I won't! I know when my brain will overheat!"

"Well then, next phrase is: 'I can do...blah blah'."

I taught her 5 more phrases. Despite what Noel said, it's not that her brain will overheat. It's just that I want her to focus more on her pronunciation. I do believe Noel's English vocab and grammar can be worked with by herself, but her pronunciation needs so much work. It's not that much of a problem now, since I taught her.

So now, I'm just letting her repeat the phrases while teaching her more tips to sound more native. I also taught her some basic words that I KNOW she will mispronounce, like "cook"...

I know Noel like the back of my hand from just observing her. She's a pervert, so she definitely will get confused if I do not teach her something like this. Not that she's a slut. It's just that...she's so prone to lewd stuff, for some reason.

After that, me and Kiara decided to call it a day and finish the lesson.

"Alright!" Kiara, Flare, and Noel said.

"Yay." I said in a plain tone.

The 3 laughed and I chuckled.

"Why do you sound unenergetic? Was I too much of an idiot to teach?" Noel asked.

"Nope. That's just my usual tone." I giggled a bit.

"You learned fast. Just make sure to practice your pronunciation a lot. Your vocab and grammar will improve eventually, but your pronunciation will suck a lot if you don't practice it enough. So remember, Noel, practice at least 5 minutes a day getting your pronunciation right."

"Un!"

"Ah, yeah! Flare-senpai, I also want you to remember that you need to practice your German pronunciation too. Make sure you repeat those phrases a lot, okay? Try to also remember the basic German vocabulary I wrote in your notebook!" Kiara said.

"Un! I will!"

"Oh, and Noel...one thing to note."

"Hmm? What is it?" She asked in a bit of a serious face.

"...Please don't let your pervertedness overwrite the original meanings of the words."

They all laughed hard, except for Noel. She just widened her eyes and mouth while slowly covering it. I kept a straight face as much as possible without trying to laugh. I honestly want to burst right now.

"When I say 'big', it does not automatically refer to big boobs." I said as they all laughed even more, and Noel just had to laugh. I just let out a small snicker.

"Anyway, you girls do you. I'mma go take a shower and change into some clothes for Roboco. See ya." I said as I went to the door first.

"Ah yeah, I'm gonna go too. Bye, Flare-senpai, Noel-senpai!" Kiara said.

"Bye!" They both said, before me and Kiara went to our rooms.

I went to my room, saved my progress of the video and turned my computer off, went to take a shower, and wore new clothes.

I wore a dark-red long-sleeved button-up shirt, blue jeans, white shoes, and to top it off, a thin wristwatch. Of course, I brought my sling bag with me where I put my wallet and stuff inside it. Just to be sure, I brought the metal wire with me. If shit goes down, I can protect Roboco by going Agent 47 mode.

I went out of my room, and I went towards Roboco's room. When I knocked on her door, she said "Coming!"

She opened the door, and instantly widened her eyes and her jaw dropped.

"What?"

"U-Uhm…" She said while stuttering.

"Heh. Am I too handsome?" I teased her a bit.

"A-Ah, n-no!" She said as she went back inside her room while blushing.

"Well, mind if I come inside?"

"Ah, sure! Come in!" She said.

I looked at her closet, and it was open. A few clothes were scattered around.

"S-Sorry. I already picked my clothes. I just need to put these other clothes back. It won't take long for me to finish this. I already took a shower, in case you're wondering."

"I can see that from your hair." I deadpanned.

Roboco giggled and continued folding her clothes.

"Well, please wait outside, okay? It's not good manners for a man to peep at a girl while she's dressing."

"Sure." I said.

'You told me to come in, and now you're telling me to go out?' I sweat dropped.

I did what she told me regardless, and I waited by leaning on the wall near her door. When I heard the door open, I looked to my right, seeing a cute little Roboco pop out.

Pink wool sweater, maroon skirt, golden necklace, silver earrings, and of course, her fancy handbag.

"Do I look good enough?"

"Meh. Not too shabby."

"Eh...?! But I put a lot of thought into this, you know...?!" Roboco frowned.

"I'm just joking. You're beautiful, okay?" I chuckled.

"Really? You're not lying?"

"I'm not."

"That's good..." She giggled.

"Well then, you mind if we go now? I mean, I got idol practice this afternoon, so...we gotta hustle."

"Yup!"

Roboco grabbed my left hand.

"Let's go, Shiro-kun!"
