"So. Why are you still here?" Sora looked over to the Emi who was still staying over. She had come back to the apartment and even helped put stuff away. Sora had answered most of her questions and asked his own. So there should be no reason she should be here.
"Hmm? Because I want to be." Emi said she was making herself at home for some reason and was even sitting on the couch with Elsie watching tv. Sora felt indescribable anger.'Why is this woman still here? Leave already.' Thoughts like this kept popping up. Sora had decided to give up and make breakfast since he was hungry and Elsie and Elias probably hadn't eaten. Sora went to the fridge and took out multiple things. He took out tomatoes, eggs, bacon and sausages. While also getting toast from the pantry.
"Hmm. What are you making?" Emi Curious came over to Sora and looked at what he was doing. Sora wanted to ignore her but it was a topic related to cooking.
"An English breakfast. I'm making it since Elsie and Elias are here and I got a craving for it." Sora had set the pan on the stove while also getting a baking tray and setting the oven to 300 degrees and letting the bacon cook. He sliced the tomatoes and put them on a pan.. He couldn't grill them but he still wanted to add them. He also put the bread in the toaster, getting another pan to cook the eggs. He put a tiny bit of butter and set in the egg. He cooked 6 of them sunny side up while he cooked one scrambled since Elsie had liked them that way.
"Hahh. Since you're not going to do anything or leave, can you set the table with four plates and 4 glasses." Sora had made peace with the fact that Emi didn't seem like she was leaving anytime soon. He found it weird that she'd stay in a random boys apartment for so long but she probably thought that since Elsie was here he wouldn't do anything.
"Huh. O-Ok I'll do it." Emi, who had been watching Sora cook, was salivating from the smell and was brought back to reality and agreed to set the table. Sora had finished cooking and he poured orange juice in all the glasses and Elsie and Elias had come over as well.
""""Thanks for the meal."""" They had quickly started to eat . The smell was enough to drive them over the edge and all of them hadn't eaten either so they dug in quickly. Sora had always made breakfast for himself so this was just an everyday meal but for the other 3 it was like eating breakfast in a five star restaurant.
"As I thought. Sora makes the best food." Elsie had said while stuffing her face with scrambled eggs.
"His food is even better than moms!" Elias had commented. Emi didn't say anything because she was too busy eating and didn't hear them. They continued to eat the delicious meal. ' This is the first time I've eaten with anyone since mom and dad died.' Sora had thought. He usually had no one ever and he didn't bother to eat with any of his coworkers but it did feel nice having people eat his food that they didn't pay for. He couldn't explain the feeling but it did make him somewhat happy.
"Hahhh thanks for the meal." Elias had said, as he slumped over the couch. Everyone but sora was sitting down on the couch they enjoyed the meal and they felt a Desire to just rest and all
Moved over to the couch. Sora got all the dishes and began to wash them. He finished and walked to his room and got a book, sat down on a chair next to the sofa and began to read while the others watched tv. They spent the morning like this.
Elsie had fallen asleep on the couch and Elias as well. Emi had been close to falling asleep but her phone got a notification. It was a text from her mother. She had been staying over with a friend and forgot that she was supposed to go home.
"Crap! I forgot all about mom and dad." She quickly got up to her feet and ran towards the door. She put on her shoes and opened the door but not before saying her thanks.
"Thanks for the breakfast." She said and quickly closed the door running to the elevator. Sora was somewhat stunned at how fast she left and he got up to go to a cabinet where blankets were stored and got one and put it on Elsie. He also did the same for Elias. Sora put on his outdoor shoes and grabbed his keys. It was 12:45 so he decided to go to a furniture store to get a bed for Elias.
"Uh excuse me. Do you understand me? Can you please point me to the nearest airport? I need to leave quickly." A man speaking English was talking quite impatiently. He looked like he was in a rush and sora couldn't see who he was talking to but since he kept asking and didn't get an answer he assumed that the person couldn't speak English.
"Hello sir. The nearest airport would have you going east. It's only 20 minutes away from where we are." Sora had shown the man the directions to the airport on his phone, while also pointing at which way to go. The man thanked Sora profusely and he began to run towards the way to the airport. Sora turned to the person the man was talking to, depending on whom it may have been. It could've been seen that the man was harassing or trying to pick up a girl so he decided to clear the misunderstanding even though he had no need.
"Sorry about that. He didn't mean anything bad, he just wanted directions." Sora turned to the person and he was slightly stunned. The person he met was a girl. Though it wouldn't matter if it was a girl or guy sora was stunned for another reason. 'Why do I keep running into them!?!?! I've never run into any of them whenever I used to go out. So why now?' Sora said internally. The girl Sora had helped was one from his class and not just any girl. It was one of the girls from Emi's group. Miyu. She was the one with long green hair and blue eyes. For whatever reason she was red all the way to her neck sora found it weird and he decided to leave and go to the mall to get the bed.
"Okay well bye." Sora ran off quickly. It looked like she wanted to say something but Sora didn't let her. He made his way to the mall and quickly went to the side that had the furniture store. He quickly found a bed that wasn't too big and was perfect for a guest bedroom. He bought it then gave the address for them to deliver it to and he decided to visit a bookstore. This was a bookstore he'd never gone to. There was one right near the supermarket he frequently goes to but it was smaller than this one so he decided to see if they have any cook books.
"Ahhaha seriously! That girl, you Fucked her. You're disgusting!!"
"Shut the fuck up. You fucked that gloomy chick. You shouldn't be laughing either kousuke you had fucked the otaku girl she was disgusting."
"I was only interested in her body. I mean she had big tits. Otkaus and bookworms are disgusting. Fuck man. I wish we didn't have to read this stupid book. Fuck our literary teacher."
"You wish you could fuck her. She has a great ass and amazing figure. Too bad she's as cold as ice." In the library it was very quiet. It was a common courtesy. Even if you didn't want to be there and were simply dragged along it was respectful to be quiet. Three boys with dyed blonde hair and another red with piercings,were talking loudly and using vulgar language. Two girls in flashy appearances with nails and heavy makeup on and their skirts were very short and blouses were opened to show their cleavage, were also talking vulgarly and loudly with the boys. It was very clear the boys were delinquents.
Sora hated it but he wouldn't let it impact him and walked towards the cooking aisle and found a cookbook he had never seen. He looked through it and found new recipes and foods he'd never seen while some he had cooked before. He took the cookbook and since he was here decided to check for other books. He didn't really find any and most he read so he went to the light novel section. He found one he thought was interesting. It was a book about a boy being reincarnated. He got an amazing power from the god who had killed him and was able to create skills. The boy was born as a prince and simply did as he wanted. It was a lighthearted story with the same trope as ever but Sora didn't mind; he just wanted to read something and he got the book.
"Hey don't you think I'm handsome?"
"Yeah he's handsome right?"
"Yeah you may be a weird bookworm but you're pretty cute."
"Yeah she's cute though I'm definitely cuter than her."
"She's too petite. I have bigger breasts than her." The 5 students who were complaining in the beginning moved over to the checkout counter. They were talking to a girl with glasses. She had a petite figure and she looked very small, maybe standing at 149Cm, maybe 150. She was troubled by them and looked scared of the delinquents and kept up a forced smile.(if you want an idea of this girl, think Eri Nakamura from arifureta or the vampire chick from new sister testament.) Some of the other people at the library wanted to do something but they were too scared. The delinquents clearly had indecent ideas about her as seen on their faces; they weren't even trying to hide it.
"Excuse me. If you aren't checking out any books can you please move?" Sora didn't really care so he just walked up and politely asked them to move. This stopped the delinquents from talking and brought everyone's attention to sora.
"Hah? What the hell do yo-." The one who was bragging about his looks turned around. He expected some nerd or otaku trying to play hero and trying to save the girl and he and his friends all turned around. They were stunned which is why the main delinquent shut up. He was handsome but no one would ever talk to him since he had a delinquent appearance. But the boy in front of him was leagues above him. He had white hair, a pair of heterochromatic eyes blue and purple with a beauty mark underneath his left eye. Seeing that they finally stopped occupying the way Sora casually made his way to the front desk.
"Hello. I'd like to buy these two books." Sora put the books down while speaking towards the girl.
"O-oh okay." The girl was also stunned like the delinquents but Sora snapped her out of her daze and she scanned his books with her cheeks red. She gave the price and put the books in the bag. Sora paid her but it wouldn't be that easy. Seeing Sora the delinquent got pissed and decided to mock him.
"Look, another gross otaku. You may be a bit more handsome than me but you're still a gross otaku." He tried provoking him but Sora merely gave the group a glance before looking away disinterested. It was very clear he really didn't care about his bravado or taunting. Sora kept walking, ignoring them all.
"Hey! I'm no-" He was going to keep harassing Sora but he felt a large hand on his back. He turned his head and saw a tall bald headed man. He easily reached 6'8 he had hulking muscles and it was clear he was a sumo fighter. He looked at the boy with eyes full of rage. The boy was clearly scared but the grip on his shoulders stopped him from moving.
"You should learn to be quiet." The man said in a deep voice. The delinquent shivered in fear while his partners quickly ran. Whatever happened to the boy no one would ever dare say. The boy himself was traumatized and became a shut-in.
"Now that I think about it. I should get new clothes." Sora had been wearing the same things and he didn't really mind but they were getting old. It wasn't like he didn't have enough money to buy new clothes. Sora had made a lot from his job and the life insurance he got from his parents made him able to pay the rent for his apartment without worry. He had just been putting it off because it was a difficult task. He didn't know anything about fashion and was scared he'd just look like an idiot. He decided to put it off for later and ask Elise or Elias to help him with it. Though he'll probably go with Elsie's help rather than Elias.
"I'm back." Sora said. He took off his shoes and put on his indoor slippers.
"Welcome back."
"..." Sora had a blank face. Normally he'd never receive a "welcome back" he'd expect Elias or Elsie to say it since his aunt had drilled into them Japanese manners but it was neither of them to say it. It was Emi. He was certain she'd never come back.
"Why are you here?" Sora said, disgruntled.
"Hmm? Because Elsie-San invited me."
"I didn't."
"Oh yeah we exchanged numbers. I wanted to ask her about sweet shops around here. Also I'm hungry. What are you gonna make for lunch?" Elsie had popped up from somewhere and told Sora about her actions. Elsie loved sweets so much that she even said she'd hate her father if he didn't allow her to have a cake she had earned from a competition. It was currently 4:35 Sora had spent a while finding a bed and checking out what books he could find, he was quite hungry himself. Sora walked past Emi and put his new books on his bookshelf in his room.
"Curry rice with chicken katsu."
"Oh okay. I'll sit here and wait. Please make the curry sweet" Elsie said. Sora had been wanting to eat curry. He didn't mind it sweet since well he was making it so it'd taste good no matter what but he had his limits so he was gonna make one specifically for Elsie and one not as sweet for him and Elias.
"Yeah I agree, make it sweet." Emi had agreed with Elsie and sat down next to her.
"Who ever said I'd make it for you." Is what Sora wanted to say but It would be easier for him to get rid of any leftovers by having someone else eat it or at least that was the excuse he was telling himself. Elias had come in and all four of them sat down and ate.
