*This chapter is Erika's POV*
Hi, this is me, Erika, Kai's younger sister. After he left the hotel room, I take a hot shower to cleanse my body of sweat and bad germs. When finish, I twist the lid of the shower to turn it off, bathroom got steamy with hot water. So, when I get out of the bathroom, the steam gets out too and is sucked by I don't know what it's called, something that sucked steam out to outside, I guess? Anyway, I get ready to go out and explore the city, I know I'm 12, but I don't care, age is just a number, probably said by some pedo, I think...
I'm in the lobby right now, sitting on the couch, thinking to give my big bro a gift for his hard work, working his ass off to support our life. After our parent death, we live alone, with no relatives want to take us in, probably because of our mother, so we need to find sustenance, they left us some money though, but it was not enough to support our life forever. So, big bro took the initiative to become a streamer, streaming his gameplay as he loves playing video games. He never streams before, so when he starts the first stream, he looked so awkward and unprofessional, but now, with almost three years of experience, he talks to his fans over chat and camera like a normal conversation. He gains a lot of money doing this, more than enough to support our life, and it's weird for me to give him a gift as he basically can buy anything he wants, but as quote, 'It's not what we have in life that is important, but who we have in life that matters.' This means that no matter what kind of gift I get for him, he will appreciate it because her sister gives it to him, I hope so...
For that matter, I'll try to explore the city while searching for the gift. I may come across a few things that I can take into consideration. Then, let's go!
... ...
I see some stores that catch my attention like the PC store since big bro always uses his computer, it is like the heart of the source of income. But, my knowledge of computers is near zero, so I'm afraid that I might get scammed when they see a little girl buying computer stuff and decided to take full advantage of my naivety. So, I cross the idea and move to another store which is a clothing store. This one is better as I have some knowledge of fashion and I know big bro's body measurements too, but he doesn't really care about fashion and wears anything that looks decent and comfortable. If I want to help him get women, he needs to change his fashion for more stand-out appearances to get women's attention. I'll put this store on my to-buy list.
For the last store, I'm in conflict about whether to put it on the list or not because I don't know if he gonna like it or not. He never mentions this kind of thing though, maybe I shouldn't have put it, but it has really unique products! I never thought that this kind of store is still intact judging by its condition and the products they sell is... exotic, I guess. Is it the right term? I don't know. What is big bro doing right now, anyway? Maybe I should try to call him and ask if he is interested in this.
*Meanwhile, Kai is at the maid cafe...*
"Master, here ahhh~" The maid feeds him with the dessert.
"Master, do you want anything else~?"
"Hehehe, yes, yes~" Kai is on cloud nine, surrounded by three cute maids serving him. There is only supposed to be one maid for one table, but he has such a handsome face that he attracted other maids to serve him, too. Every man in the room glared at him with jealousy, wishing to switch places with him and experience what they call 'true heaven'.
*Back to Erika*
Why is he not answering? I bet he's being pleased by a bunch of women right now, stupid big bro, *Hmph!*. Because you don't answer my call, I'll buy you a thing from this I-don't-what-it-call store. "Hello... anyone here? I want to buy something." I enter the store and greet if there is someone in there. I look around and see a bunch of weird items on the shelf, they don't have a name or price tag, just them. Just as I was complacent looking at all the items, someone tap my right shoulder, shocking, I turn around to see a tall man around 30's, wearing a glass, neat short black with slightly gray hair, wearing a maroon collared shirt with a black apron, black pant, and full black sneakers. He is quite muscular, too.
"Hello, young miss. Are you here to buy our products, or just simply windows shopping perhaps? Nonetheless, we treat everyone here equally, so don't worry if young miss wants to look around. But, if young miss does want to buy ours, we have the most 'exquisite' items in all of Japan. Look around and if young miss has any questions, just call me. My name is Sebastian, I hope young miss remembers it." I can just nod and walk away from him as far as I can. That man or... Sebastian creeps me out, he's like can sees right into my soul and sucks it or something. I shook my head. No, it's just my imagination. He just being polite and it's rude to suspect him of anything.
Anyhow, I continue looking around, there must be something that I can give big bro, something... extraordinary. Wait... what is that? I see something glowing in the corner and went to investigate it. When I find it, it was covered with cloth but the light still can go through it. I move the cloth aside and see a floating glowing ball inside a glass box and when I try to touch it, Sebastian grabs my hand away. Instead of letting my hand go, he grips it tighter. "Young miss, please don't touch that. It's our failed product and nobody should not touch it." He said that with a smile but I know he was very angry inside. "Ouch! Okay, I'm sorry! Please let go of my hand, it hurts!" He's won't listen to me even when I apologize. "No, we can't tolerate this behavior, follow me."
"No! Let me go!" I try to resist but with that body of his, I can't do anything. He's too strong. "Young miss, please don't resist. You have to be punished. Follow me." Why is he so stubborn?! and why should I be punished?! You are not my teachers! "ONII-CHAN!!! HELP ME!!!"
