"Densetsu, come here!", mom calls me to play with her in the ocean.
"No! I'm not coming. It's deep"
"Come on, honey! I'm here. Mommy won't let you be in trouble."
Right. Mommy is always here for me. I don't have to worry about anything.
"Ok. If you say so.", I run towards her. Suddenly it feels like she is going far away.
"Wait mom! Where are you going!? Don't leave me behind."
She just keeps moving. I run faster. I trip and fall in the ocean. I start drowning, deeper and deeper into the ocean. The water, it's salty, moments later it's a little bitter, I can handle it. As moments pass by the taste becomes more and more bitter. I think I'm about to puke!
Wait, where am I? This is my room in my house. I hear lofi music playing in my ears. Oh, yes, I'm listening to lofi. How did I forget.
"You are a piece of shit!! I wish I never married you. If only that idiot wasn't born! I could have left you married someone else!"
Mom is shouting. Dad says nothing when she is angry. He doesn't get angry, doesn't shout. Just listens to her while she cries herself to bed. She is really loud. I crank the volume up. The deafening bass keeps playing with my eardrums. Yet I still can hear her. My earphones are supposed to be noise canceling, how can I hear her still now. Is it all in my mind? I try to concentrate on the music. It's my favorite one. I try to match the beat. Start humming,
"Fly me to the moon and let me play among the stars....."
Please just take me out of here, I don't care if it's Moon or Jupiter, I just want to leave this damn house!
"Oye dense!!"
"Kaigara and Tachibana?!"
"Come let's watch this anime."
"I'm not in the mood buddy."
"Come on I know you want to. It has your favorite song in the ending."
"Stop it. Alright fine!"
When was it, our first meet? I don't remember. It doesn't matter anyway. What matters is he is by my side. They are my family.
I wake up as the sun shines on my face. That was a dream? I feel tears on my chick. Even happiness has tears, huh?
"You are up, Densetsu!"
"Yeah, I'm up."
"Why did you wake up late today?", Tachibana asks.
"We don't have training today. It's 5 days a week. Our body needs time to heal up the strains you know. Where's Kai?"
"Master is sleeping like a log."
"I see."
"Come let's eat."
"Where's my egg and milk?"
"You wanna eat that? I thought you are gonna have normal breakfast."
"Can I?!", my eyes light up.
"Of course, master."
"Well serve me everything you have!! I'm starving."
"Um master... I uhh.. umm, I am not available for breakfast, but you can have me as snacks later on."
"What the...!!?? I meant food you pervert!!"
"Ow, I see. Uhm uhm. You should make make things clear master. I thought..."
"DON'T WANNA HEAR IT."
"Jerk", Tachibana says slowly.
"What did I do!!"
"Nothing! Except for lewding your maid!!"
"She was lewd to begin with!!"
"Well, you chose her."
"No, I didn't. Come to think of it, why did mr. Ben didn't come?"
"I don't really know. When he got to know the names of the residents he just refused without thinking anything else."
"That's strange."
"I know, right?"
"Who could this Mr. Ben be?
