1 Pardon...?
Chapter 1: pardon.....?
"Hey Akeshi where is your dad?"
One day during the winter of my first year . I, Tarazune akeshi am now sitting in front of bunch of scary men in clad black suit.
Each of them have scar's on their face meaning they have fought with people. The scar's went from scar made by knife and to scar made my bullet.
"I myself am not aware of their location. I just got home earlier from my part time job." I grab a envelope beside me and hand it over to the man in front of me who seemed to be leader,"I found this on my table."
He read through the content and seeing his expression it was clear that he was mad as hell. After reading the entire content he teared the paper.
"He fucking ran away! What's more he even left his son! That bastard!"
"You never know what might happen in life." That was my father's motto.
In the hopes of making a forture in business he would jump on the latest trend but was always one step behind.
For that reason there was nothing but unused material and pile of bept. On top of that what's even worse is that my good-for-nothing father was dearly loved by my mother.
As time passes she retrained her youthful looks. So when we would walk together people would mistake her for my elder sister.
Due to that I once asked her why she married such a man. And then she replied "Why did I married him? Well don't you think it's nice to have someone who is trying his damnedest in his own dopey way even though his a dolt? That is the reason why mom loves dad so much."
Love makes people blind is what I heard. And it is quite damn true that for sure.
I look upon those who try their hardest. But my father broke past those threshold.
But I am also at fault for not saying anything to them and keep on working my ass. And those two also used my own money to pay the dept.
"Take-kun how much did they borrowed?"
He was looking at me pissed as hell. Then he sat down.
"Forget it . There's no point in getting mad at you. Let's see...." he checked the paper on his hand,"About 30 million."
WHAT!?
"He kept of borrowing the money , saying that he will pay back but he didn't. And it kept on Ballooning."
Oh right I forget to mention that I am not particularly scared of these. "Have some tea." I served the black suits some tea that I made when I arrived home.
Thats because I know Kurosawa Takeshi or Take-kun from my primary school.
Despite looking like absolute giant he was quite gentle.
'But still 30 million. That's a lot. I feel like if I were to add all the money I currently have and the scholarship then it's won't even be the bucket amount. '
"Damn you koutaru . You damn bastard. You left your son and ran away to abord you shitty bastard."
[ Akeshi. I kow it might be sudden but me and your mother will be going to abord because Japan is small for us so we will lgo and hit the casinos in Vegas. I have also contacted my lawyer friend to take care of it so rest assured. Bye.
From
Dad]
Is what the latter said. I was flabbergasted when I read that latter.
"Even though you were given birth by such couple you were brought up just fine. It's practically impossible."Take-kun said.
"Or was it perhaps because of me, if I have to say!?" he added.
A smiled and looked at him "Well probably yeah."
"Speaking of which what do you plan on doing Take-kun?"
"Hm..if I have to say I may need to take you with me."
Ah~so thats how my will end working 24/7 how cruel can you be world.
"Rest assured Akeshi. I will convince boss to take you under my wing! I will try my absolute best to make sure you get a proper life don't worry!!"
" Absolutely!" "Just trust us." the other two henchmen said with a thumbs up.
"Today...", the three of them showed thumbs up with a big smile,"The power of gorilla gang."
*Ring*
*Ring*
*Ring*
The three of them covered their ears because of how loud the bell was.
I ran towards the door to open it.
"I am coming."
"I am opening the door."
"Who is it?" I asked after opening the door.
After opening the door I saw a girl who was almost out of breath."Hello "pant* Tarazune -kun" she look a deep breath "I came here to help."
Upon seeing the person more closely my eyes widen in shock.
Long straight black hair resembling the night sky. A pair of beautiful bright chestnut shaped eyes which looked like as if pearls were looking at you.
Comparing her with those girl at magazine would be a insult to her that how beautiful she is.
Last year she was the winner of Japan's most beautiful high school girl. There is not a single high school guy or girl who doesn't know her. If they don't they might be out-of-touch with the internet and their surroundings or must be living under the rock.
"Amanika Nino-san, correct?"
"Yes president."
Oh I also forgot to tell you that the two of us study at the same high school and I am the student council of the school.
" I want to ask how did you know my address ?"
"Would you like me to come inside?"
She ignored what I said and walked in. This is bad....!
If she meets with Take-san then I am done for. She might get scared.
"Who is it's Akeshi!?" shit Take-kun. If the two were to meet with each other then I think Amanika-san might get scared due to Take-kun 's face.
"Hey are you Amanika Nino?"
"She looks way cuter up close."
The other two guys said as their eyes fell on Amanika -san.
"Amanika Nino what are you doing here?" shit please don't scare her Take-kun.
"I have wanted to talk with you Kurosawa Takeshi of gorilla gang or lieutenant of hatsuna syndicate. Am I right?"
Wait why does she knows about that part of the world. That bloody part.
"Hey missy let me ask you how ...do you know about this?"
"Hey come on now don't try intimidating her . Remember the time when you used to scare the kids!!"
But it's no use.
" You are also wearing the same uniform as Akeshi. Who are you really?"
"Well my name is Amanika Nino. I don't mind you not being able to be remember my name. Rather I would say I wouldn't be shocked if you are unable to remember the name at all."
Shit Take-kun is pissed."Huh!! Do you take me for a fool!?"
Please stop Amanika-san. I prayed in my head but it seems luck isn't in my favour."Well if you think your intimation act would work on me then you are wrong. Even gorilla's are better than you in terms of intimation. Oh sorry," she clapped her hands together and gave a beaming smile,"Well it would be an insult to gorilla if I were to compare you to them."
Shit I need to step up. Despite the bold front Take-kun is quite the softy and I can tell that he is at the verge of tears.
"Dear don't run off like that." A woman entered the house who wore a office outfit. A brown suit and long black pencil skirt. She resembled Amanika-san in terms of looks so it was clear that she is her mother. Despite her calm and gentle face her voice was the opposite which felt like sweet poisonous dragger on my neck.
"Well then how about we talk this out? Mr. My daddy is perfect ~"
Pff!! I also broke out of laugher. That was probably his daughter.
"My daddy would go out of house early in the morning to work for my mama and me and then come home at night. Before sleeping he kisses me on the forehead and my mama on the lips." it seems she decided to attack his without giving him any openings.
"Now think what would the young girl think if she were to learn what exactly her father was doing to her mother in front of her when she grows up~." This time a jab came from Amanika-san.
From the conversation I could understand this much that the two fo them are dangerous.
"I-um-..."
Time to step up.
"I know it is about me so how about me and all of us talk about it?" I stood in front of them. Seeing this Amanika-san 's mother sharply glared at me.
"Kid adults are talking so get out of here."
"I know adult's are talking but don't you think it's about me. So I don't think it's a good thing to drag someone else in my problem."
"You are acting over smart aren't you?"
"Maybe I am over smart and then? So what?"
It seems she gave up. She walked beside me and went towards Take-kun and took out a envelope and gave it to Take-kun. He started to read through its contents and sighed. "All right all of us are leaving. See you soon akeshi."
What was written in that paper anyway?
"Well then I will let you talk with him. So see you soon. Oh! By the way my name is Amanika Rukia. Your life till now will be changed but you will be able to live a normal highschool life so don't worry."she walked out of the house and closed the door
After some moments Amanika-san's hand started shaking furiously.
"You okey?"
I asked her and she had a small blush on her face.
"W-what are you talking about? I-i am not shaking at all."
"Well is that so....?"
She shut her eyes and had a strong expression on her face.
"IT'S NOT LIKE STANDING IN FRONT OF THOSE SCARY MEN GOT ME SHAKEN UP. AND THEN I AGITATED THEM MORE THAN NECESSARY SO THAT YOU WOULDN'T NOTICE. NO WAY I DID THAT. IT'S NOT LIKE THE FEAR HAD AT THAT TIME CAME BACK TO BITE ME AS SOON AS I WAS ALONE WITH YOU. NO WAY ARE MY HIPS GIVING OUT. I'M PERFECTLY FINE, I'M TELLING YOU."
Like I thought she was indeed scared.
I placed my hand on her's gently to assure her."Lets not worry how about this I will make you some tea and then we will talk okey?"she nodded her head but her legs they were....still shaking.....
•••••
After I escorted her to the living room and gave her some tea she took a sip and calmed down.
"Wow your tea tastes quite good !?"
"Thanks I hear that a lot."
She looked at me with a raised eye brow.
"What do you mean?"
"Do you know about {Okushaki cafe}?"
"....yea."
"Well I am a barista at that cafe."
She widen her eyes."So how much do you earn from there?"
"Well I earn like 6,700 ¥ per mouth." her mouth widen at that.
"Well let's get with what you wanted to say?" I look a sip from the tea,"What do you need in exchange for the help?"
"Getting directly at the point. Well then let me enlighten you then." she placed the cup on the table,"You have to live with me?"
"Huh....?"
