Last time, Shiki was angry with Rii for coming home after midnight.
So tell me what happened. Natsu replied. Well, I found out Haruto is rich, but he hides it from me. Rii replied. I knew he was hiding something. I replied. How did you know? Rii replied. He bought your extra stuff he added on was expensive. No man buys extra without being in love with the girl/woman or sometimes a family member. I replied. Izumi is right. Natsu replied. I should pay him back. Rii replied. No, he willingly did this. I replied. The clothes you 're wearing right now. Did he buy the outfit from cute romper to the shoes, Rii? Natsu asked. Yes, mom. I told him you don't have to. Rii replied. Rii, he did that to make it up to you. Did something happen to you? Natsu asked. His jealous ex roofied my drink to the point I blacked out. My memories recovered this morning. I was drinking. He carried me out to his car. He rushed out to the car to take me to his place. I woke up at his place. Rii replied. He woke up concerned about me. Rii replied. I know he called me to reinsure me he is sorry things turned out this way. He would take care of you. I replied. Haruto has always been in love with Rii. I think she is the first girl he met who differs from the rest. Natsu replied. That's right. A girl who isn't up on him constantly. I replied. We hear the doorbell.
Haruto texted Rii.
Haruto: I'm sorry for what happened. Let's say I wanted to make it up to you.
Rii: What did you send me?
Haruto: It should be at your house in a few minutes.
The mail is here. Natsu sees an envelope that is different. Hey Rii, you have mail.
Rii walked downstairs.
She opens the envelope.
Rii: So you bought me a ticket to the new opening in that new restaurant in Tokyo towards the end of the month?
Haruto: I have to make it up to you, Rii.
Rii: ☺️
You 're smiling. I replied. He gave me a ticket to the opening of that high-class new restaurant in Tokyo at the end of the month. Rii replied. Congratulations, Rii. You have a boyfriend who has a heart of gold, handsome and he has money. The other two are all bonuses. I replied. You are right there, Izumi. Natsu replied. Wait, don't you leave in the month, Izumi? Natsu asked. I do. You can tell me all about it, Rii. I replied. I didn't know you leave at the end of the month. Rii replied. I know, but how about you? If you go abroad for a semester, you can stay with my mom and I. She wouldn't mind the company. I replied. That I can second. Shiki replied. Dad? Rii replied. Rii, you 're old enough to know your sister as a person. A month is a small period. Shiki replied. Yeah, I can show you all kinds of places. I replied. Rachelle would definitely keep you safe. Shiki replied. You will not show her any piercing or tattoo shops, Izumi. Shiki replied. What ever do you mean, dad? I asked. You have an Izumi tattooed on your shoulder. You also have a septum. Shiki replied. Yes, I have all these things. I replied. Wait, you have a septum and one tattoo. Rii replied. Yup, I never want another tattoo or piercing. They are very painful. Also, don't believe that facade dad is playing for you two. He used to have a thing for curvy, rare beauties with tattoos and nose piercings in his late teens, early twenties. I replied. Shiki is this true? Natsu asked. Yes, I did. I really like her mom's flower tattoo on her side and her septum. We were both juniors and abroad students. I met her at a frat party on campus. Shiki replied. I never knew this side of you. Natsu replied. We may have been childhood friends, but I gained my first taste of freedom in LA. I felt I could do anything. Shiki replied. Izumi looks like her mom when I first met her. The only difference is her olive skin tone, eye color, hair color and long curly hair. I took out my septum so dad wouldn't freak like now. I replied. See, I have to wipe my foundation off my arm. As soon as I wiped it away, it's shocking to Rii. That's crazy. Rii replied. My mom once told me. She asked me her favorite names girl names in Japanese. He said Izumi. She asked like why? He said, "It was a pretty name." She asked what it means. He said "fountain, spring or serene one" he chose serene one. Looking dad in the eyes. I really think you 're dumb as hell, dad. I replied. Natsu just laughed. You are Rachelle's child, alright. She would say something similar to him. Natsu replied. I think she said once, "I am going to need you to stop with that dumb s••t, Shiki." She said it didn't click to you until I was 4 or 5. I replied. You just looked and acted like your mom just now. Shiki replied. Then dad stop with naïveté. I replied. When it clicked it hurt me, she would send pictures of me. You had curly and wavy black hair with brown eyes like mine. Shiki replied. You have black hair and eye color like dad? Rii asked. Yes. I cut my hair short and dyed my hair ash blonde but left my black hair underneath. I replied. Oh not to mention I have dad's screwed up vision to add. I replied. You wear glasses? Rii asked. As a child yes. Now I wear contacts. If I don't wear my contacts, I'm screwed. I replied. So you have astigmatism? Shiki replied. Yes I do. I replied. At one point I would get my nails done in glow in the dark nails so I wouldn't knock into stuff sneaking in after hours. I replied. Everyone laughed. It horrible, I might have gotten a lecture but getting black eye is not cute. I replied.
