Necessities.

"I ask if you hit your head this morning? Or the night before you go to sleep?" Kurono just stand there for a moment, looking at Junko.

"No. I didn't."

"Then why did you greeted me just now?"

Junko crossed her arms against her chest, awaiting answer from the nervous boy.

"It's the right thing to do. That's proper manners."

Junko was speechless for a moment.

'Manners? Since when did he become a saint? What the hell is going on!? Arghhhh!!!!!!!'

Junko was screaming inside her own head. But she changed the topic to the shopping tomorrow.

"Can I go come in?"

"Uh... Yes... Please..."

Kurono moved to the side, allowing the girl into his room.

It was plain. Too plain. Most Japanese teenage boys have posters on their walls or collection of manga on the shelf. But not this one. Junko scanned the room for a moment. The only things in the room are, a futon, which is a Japanese traditional bed neatly folded and placed in the corner. A small table in the middle, his school bag leaning against the wall, with a small drawer at the other corner of the room.

'Not your normal teenagers room. Well, he's not normal anyway. But seriously, that old man is so rich yet he can't afford more for Shun. Talk about stingy.'

She thought to herself after taking in the view of his room.

She went and sit down at the table, with Kurono followed suit opposite her.

"Listen. We're going to the mall tomorrow. And I need to make sure you don't cause anymore unwanted problems. So I'm here to discuss this matter with you." Junko started.

Kurono looked at her with his usual expression while she continues.

"First, we're going shopping. Me and Nene had planned this so it's really, really important for us." She says, emphasize on the word really. Twice.

"I'm sure Minami won't have any patience for that, which us why he's probably going to take you off somewhere with him. When that happen, you will tell him that you're interested in shopping as well. So you'll go inside the clothes store and looked around, pretending to be busy until me and Nene are done. Got it?"

"Yes."

"Good. After everything is done, them we'll go watch the movie. Whatever Minami pick for us. Follow by a break at the cafe. Remember. Don't. Cause. A. Scene."

Each and every word sound serious. And she had to make sure.

"I understand Missy. I will fulfill my duty as per your orders."

Kurono bowed his head lightly, accepting the missions provided by Junko.

"You better keep your words. Now, on to the next thing. Change into something more appropriate, we're leaving in a bit."

Confused, Kurono raised his head looking at her.

"Did you have some affairs that required you to leave the house?"

"Yes."

She rose to her feet.

"Meet me at the back door in twenty minutes."

With that, she exits the room. Kurono quickly put on his hoodie, and a pant suitable for outing. It didn't take long, and he immediately exit the room as well.

Sato and Reiji was having a conversation around the place before they noticed Kurono walked through the garden to the back door. Curious, they followed him.

"Kurono."

Sati called him out.

"Sato-san."

The two approach him.

"Oi oi. Where do you think you're going? Just because you don't have any duty like us doesn't mean you're free to walk around the place. Know your rank boy."

Reiji taunted him. But he was ignored by Kurono. The boy only looked at Sato who's checking his outfit.

"Where are you going?"

"Missy told me she has some affairs and will be leaving the ground. So she told me to wait for her here."

"I see. Look after Missy. Failure won't be tolerated."

Sato warned him.

"Understood. I will carry out my duty to make sure she return safe and sound."

Kurono bowed his head at the number two who just walked away with the frustrated Reiji muttering something about disrespecting your elders.

After Junko finished her preparation, she leaves the place with Kurono keeping his distance behind her.

Despite being the one that issued the distance order, she now felt terribly wrong about it. The two teens walked in awkward long distance silence.

The moment Junko stopped in front of a shop, Kurono stopped at the same time in place. Junko turned towards him, motions him to walk up to her.

"This is the place. Let's go in."

"Welcome."

They were greeted by one of the workers there. It was a phone shop. With a lot of smartphones being displayed around the place.

"What can I help you with?"

"I need a phone that even idiots can get themselves accustomed to within a day."

Kurono knows that something she said could be directed at him. But the worker looks at her with confused eyes and expression.

"Yes?"
