Chereads / Miss Kobayashi dragon's maid (Fanfiction) / Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Explanations

Chapter 5 - Chapter 5: Explanations

One day has passed after the previous events of yesterday. Aito, Kobayashi, and Thoru were finally living in a peaceful environment, Aito on his side did a lot of effort to be nice to Kobayashi and it went like this for another week, till Kobayashi realized something, she was still not aware of what exactly Aito and Thoru were in reality, or better said, not sure at 100%. So, she decided to ask them a few questions. Aito was playing video games because he was curious about them, and Kobayashi helped him to be better at it. Thoru was cleaning everywhere, she seemed to enjoy herself a lot.

Four of these 4 Days Ago

"So, here we have the kitchen," said Kobayashi.

She was showing the surroundings to her 2 new roommates.

Thoru was so curious, that she was asking questions every second, which of course Kobayashi wasn't able to keep up with it. On the other end, Aito was listening carefully to the instructions and tips that Kobayashi was giving.

After a while, the 3 of them finally finished the guided tour of Kobayashi's apartment. They both knew which room was their unique private space, the common spaces the schedule for bath time, everything has been set up so that there is no accident. Something was very odd to Kobayashi as if she forgot something important, then remembered:

"Oh, I can't let you sleep in the same room with Thoru, Aito". Added Kobayashi.

Aito and Thoru were watching Kobayashi, with their habitual puzzled expression and then added both at the same time:

" There is no problem for us, we can sleep together in the same room and the same bed"

Kobayashi was still not sure, about the precision given by Aito and Thoru, she thought and then after a little minute, she replied:

"Okay, if you say, but..." She paused and started to blush a little bit, then resumed with a completely embarrassed voice:

"I...I...I DON'T WANT TO HEAR ANYTHING COMING OUT OF THIS ROOM D...DID YOU HEAR ME!?"

After she finished shouting that phrase to them she was boiling because of her thoughts. Again, Aito and Thoru were clueless about what she meant by "the noises" they looked at each other to check if the other one understood but finally nodded to her request.

Five minutes after that, when still looking around the apartment, Aito found a strange squared-looking shape and immediately asked Thoru for an answer, but she was clueless too. Kobayashi who was doing her work noticed them both were looking at that strange machine, she simply added while continuing her work:

"What you are looking at is a Sigma Cube Player 2670 Series X, in short; SCP 2670 Series X"

When they heard that very strange name, they were trying to translate that in their head, but failed. But Kobayashi added something else:

"You can play video games on it when you connect it to the television"

Thoru was of course not interested in such kind of thing and just walked away. But Aito seemed to be very interested and asked Kobayashi if she could make it run. At first sight, Aito was pretty confident in his abilities, but with no surprise, he failed to try to play the various games, so Kobayashi showed him the ropes and this is how Aito started to play Video games.

In the present

Kobayashi started what was looking like an amicable interrogation:

"Tell me you two...I would like to ask you a few questions, since we are roommates now, I think it's pretty normal to know each other a little better, don't you think? So can I request you to stop what you are doing and come sit with me at the table?"

When they heard the request of Kobayashi, Aito and Thoru immediately stopped their activity and calmly walked to the table where Kobayashi was sitting without letting out a single word of their mouth.

Kobayashi then added:

"Thank you to both of you." She was smiling and her tone was calm.

Aito and Thoru nodded but stayed silent.

Kobayashi then proceeded with her questions:

"Well, I'm perfectly aware that you are not human, you seem to be pretty unfamiliar with the common that I use, like computers, Washing machines, and the Internet. I also know that you are dragons, I was drunk but I was not blind when I walked towards you that night, I have no problems feeding dragons with my job, but I just want to know what are your habits"

After finishing her sentence, she pauses for a long minute, to let Aito and Thoru talk.

Aito once again broke the silence:

"Well, I guess we can't hide it anymore..."

After hearing that Kobayashi rapidly replied:

"Hiding? Just like you are hiding both of gigantic tails all these days?"

Kobayashi busted into a huge laugh. Thoru was quite amused by that situation, and start to giggle, Aito was indifferent to that.

Kobayashi recomposed herself after half a minute and continued listening to what both of them had to say. Aito resumed where he was interrupted:

"Ahem...We are indeed dragons, we do not come from this world"

Kobayashi asked just after that:

"Where do you come from then?"

This time, Thoru answered:

"It would be a bit complicated for you to understand everything, so let's just make it simple, just call it "Hell".

"Hell??" Added Kobayashi. Her expression was written on her face, she was kind of scared, afraid for her own life.

Thoru resumed her sentence:

"But don't worry, nothing is gonna happen as long as I'm here Miss Kobayashi." Her expression was full of happiness.

Still, in shock at what she just heard, Kobayashi asked her next question:

"Who are you? I mean about your status in your world of yours."

Aito answered:

"I'm just simply a normal male dragon who was the ability to use fire and transforms into a human"

Then came the turn of Thoru:

"Well...I'm a dragon too, but not a normal one, I'm the daughter of the emperor of demise my dad is Damocles."

She was smiling, her face was bright, almost as if she was showing off.

This time not only Kobayashi but also Aito was speechless, Kobayashi also watched the reaction of Aito, who was in complete fear. Aito then replied with a shaking voice.

"Y...you...you did not tell me, that you were the princess of Demise, you are an important person and feared dragon among everyone"

Aito seemed really impressed but still scared, but Thoru replied:

"I'm sorry Aito I was scared that you could reject me, at that time when we were alone."

Aito replied happily:

"Don't worry it's okay, I would just have protected you as best as I could if I knew that"

Kobayashi then added:

"Anyway, I think I know enough for now, whatever your rank or status was in your world, here...it means nothing here, we are all equal here, so no discrimination, okay?"

Both of them answered Positively:

"Yes Miss Kobayashi"

Kobayashi then added again:

"Well, I think it's my turn to introduce myself. So You know my name, I'm Kobayashi I work as a computer programmer, it consists of writing programs for clients."

After that sentence, they continued to chat for another 2 hours, the night was almost falling when they started to chat together. Then They ate, bathed, and went to sleep.

Now that they know a little bit about each other, will the environment be lighter, will Aito Trust Kobayashi, and will people come to separate them from this happiness? That's a question that only the future can answer.
