(Rirota's Perspective)
Instead of mulling over our future together, I went upstairs and entered the bedroom to check on my phone.
My eyes stuck on the pending message that was still there in the notification. I pressed it to open up a phone application with a different name that I don't remember installing on my phone.
'1kawa's Messenger'
The hell is this app for? I get that it functions like Messages but... this feels like a rip off copy of other social chatting apps on the apps store. The design is purplish too, it's like a streaming site's colour pallette...
Huh, this message sent by ???.
What the hell? I pressed on the ??? to open up the screen to a messaging tab.
First thing I see is the ??? changing to 1kawa, the name of the application itself? Who the hell is tampering with my device?
Second, I looked at the message he sent to me.
'You two are in danger.'
The fuck?
'What the fuck do you mean?', I sent him back a reply and only noticing the timestamp of his message being four hours ago.
However he replied instanenously, as if he was waiting for more than four hours.
'This was a warning for four hours ago.'
'Since you have managed to defuse that lady's tendencies.'
'This danger warning proved invalid.'
Damn he can type fast.
'Comes with the job. Now, you two have to find and protect these individuals.'
'-IMG attached (2)-'
I couldn't help but feel like this person is an AI. An escort mission, what is this? A shounen? And... this person know that we're the same person... I need to check on her phone next.
But first, I need to know who's the person needed protection.
I enlarged the attached image to find a familiar face on the screen. A mugshot of...
'Roukan Mizuzaki'
And his counterpart of this world, 'Roun Mizuzaki'.
'Who are you?', I asked as I felt unlikely pissed off right now. Of course I would, a friend of mine is in danger! This is ridiculous!
1kawa replied, '1kawa, an ally. See you tomorrow in school, you talented duos.'
HAAARHH? This person is in our school? Who was it?! What the hell is going on? Fuck! Way too much shits going on today!! I need to find out who's 1kawa and keep a close eye on those sis-cons! They're in danger and-
"Rirota?"
Riro came into the bedroom with a worried face. I should ask her about this, two minds are better than one. But first, I need her to check on her phone if she received the same notification.
I pointed my phone to her face, an image of Roun's school mugshot was shown, "Bad news, check your phone for 1kawa's Messenger."
Riro looked pissed. After all, she too have the same thoughts as mine. I watched her rushed for her phone charging on the other side of the bedside cabinet. Seeing how her eyes shrunk at the moment her phone lit up, I knew how she's feeling right now.
"Who the fuck is 1kawa? I didn't install this app!"
I insist her to calm down, "Calm, I don't know either but give me your phone. If I'm right, you should receive the same message as mine."
I added after looking into my phone's messages from 1kawa, "He mentioned 'You two.'"
Riro gave me her phone as I accessed the application, "Oh!"
I didn't expect this at all. It's linked!
"What is it?" I gave her back her phone, obviously showing her the messaging tab before showing her mine, "Our account's linked to this app, some the fuck how. But, both Roukan and Roun are in danger!"
I see a change in her eyes. Now, she's genuinely serious... a pity that our cozy night will be cancelled at this point. But... why do you look like this news has ruined your life?
Don't tell me that you were really looking forward for tonight? God damn it, it's really just the female me that's fucked up in the head.
...Well, this 1kawa guy might tell us when they are in immediate danger, as of now it doesn't seem like they are in danger since he said tomorrow instead of today. It's only just gone past three o' clock.
'3:12p.m.', to be exact.
Still...
I dialled up Roukan's number as I put the call on speaker.
"Hello?"
"Yo, Rou."
"Hm? Rirota? What's up, you coming over to check on my health?"
"Yep."
"Okay, will be waiting for you and oh---"
I intended to end the call like that. I'm sure he's going to talk about Riro.
Luckily it's 47 minutes before school's over. Since neither Riro and I are a part of a school club, we usually go straight home right after school.
I guess we still can... calm down, you stupid brains down there. Let the fucking top brains do the important shits first. I'm surprised that I have better leash on my lust, I guess because boys like me do occasionally watch porn.
"Haa..."
I sighed.
=====
(Riro's Perspective)
Hm. I wonder why he called his sis-con friend to inform him of our visit later, I looked at my phone for time and figuring out that we still have 46 minutes left.
I should... maybe... nah, let's think of something important first. Like on Roun's safety, she's supposed to be sick in her bed but judging how Roukan sounded like from the phone. She should be alright as well.
Well, time's ticking and I think I should do my own things. After all, tomorrow is the real danger is, right? I'll... ask some online friends on alt account since my main account is all sunshine and flowers for the public reputation.
Oh, I should ask him that, I tapped on his shoulder as he turned around to face me. His little lifted brows are really adorable to watch all-day, "Do you have a GramGram account?"
"No."
FUCK. He's not the public type, I forgot!
"But... I have SnipeChat.", I clasped on his hands despite holding a phone in each other's hand, "That'll do! Add me, here's my barcode!"
"S-Sure..."
"Thanks, love!"
Oh, so he used his real name as his username. And he... rarely open his SnipeChat. That's also fine, that means no one else know him well enough than... his family, friends and... me~
Ahem.
I should do my thing now, time for a quick alt account questioning montage!
=====
[Did she just call me love?]
Rirota sighed deeply after seeing Riro walked out of the bedroom with a delightful smile on her face. Is getting his SnipeChat that satisfying for her? He thought as he shook his head to look at the timer.
"Still early, I guess it's good time as any to prepare lunch.", he nodded to himself as he too, left the bedroom without forgetting his phone.
...
Before leaving home for Mizuzaki's house, the two of them chose to wear their school uniforms to further solidify their alibis of being in school rather than having left for home a little while ago.
Riro did a sneaky peek beside him to look at what she's reading on her phone and almost had his eyes out of his sockets when he found out that she was reading something inappropriate in public with a deadpan expression. Only those beside her could see her flushed expression and what content she's reading so intently.
He sighed after looking at the sleeping businesswoman sitting beside her. Riro looked into his eyes and faced where he was looking at. She then turned off her phone with redness in her face, "Uhm... that's... what a friend gave me."
"...Sure, just don't let anyone spot you reading that."
The redness in her face became brighter as she looked down at her laps, "I-I know.", she stuttered her response, giving him a light tug on his sleeve, "Their station is at Coldaren, right?"
He nodded, "Just like in our memories, are you alright, though?"
"Hm?", she looked at him, Rirota elaborated on his question, "About earlier, you've been on your phone, reading--", she cupped his mouth from letting out another word, "Shush! I'm only looking at it by accident!", she shouted quietly. She wanted to die for having him witness her inexperienced side on the adult world.
She felt more embarrassed by his eyes staring her as if he completely see through her lies, her cheeks puffed up cutely, "Fuck you.", in the most softest voice she could make out of her mouth.
Rirota decided to put a stop of his teasings and pulled her head closer to his shoulder, "Sorry. Had to try to tease you once in a while..."
She pouted sulkingly, although her eyes admired him in a warm light while he looked down at his feet with a serious expression. However, to Riro, his current serious face looked cooler than usual. Was it because of love? Or lust?
Rirota had an intrusive thought regarding their relationship, [Fuck me... this might be the first time I thought of what other people might perceive us together. To the outside, people see us as siblings and I'm literally fucking my sister based on how close we are right now! It didn't help that we're just so similar in everything!]
She watched him clasp both of his hands, clenching it tightly before placing his chin against the top of it. In her visions, all she's seeing is flowers forming around his face and clasped hand while in reality.
Rirota was stressed, [Am I turning to a sis-con like Roukan? I don't think he's done the worst imaginable thing to Naito so to hell fucking nah with that thinking, me! Wait... a fuck minute... WON'T THAT FUCKING MEAN THAT WE ARE WORSER THAN THEM?]
He glanced to his side, finding Riro staring at him, [Shit, that's real mad. She's smiling cutely at me like it's no biggie.]
Rirota placed his hand on top of her head and felt his hand was rejected as she swiped his hand off her, "I'm not a kid, idiot."
[...Girls are weird, first they stare at you with affection and the next they beat the shit outta you. Haa...], he concluded his thoughts as he muttered, "Fine.", his eyes and ears perked up as he heard the announcement of the train's AI system announcing their arrival to Coldaren.
"We will be reaching Coldaren station soon, the next station is Fillidgea, Fillidgea..."
Rirota and Riro stood up as they've arrived to their station. On their way to Mizuzaki's place, they decided to walk over to their house rather than using taxis as a means of transportation. A waste of precious time and money. They stopped by a local store and decided to check out what's in store.
"Oh, look. They got strawberries in a package.", of course, Rirota laid his eyes on one of the only few other things he loved in life. Riro whistled, "Nice."
He went to grab two packs of strawberries to purchase, he then faced behind him, "Do you need something else, 'sis'?", he decided to call her sister in public. Unfortunately for him, it had a different effect on Riro as she looked away from him, "Nothing really... I'll go get us strawberry milk.", she walked away from him, leaving him puzzled by her sudden cold tone.
[...She hates it when I call her sister?], he nailed it down as he could see her reaction of him calling her like a sibling. He shrugged as he lifted himself up from crouching.
He then wandered himself to the health and beauty section and grabbed a bottle of hair shampoo with lime scent, "...Will this do or I order a box of strawberry shampoos? Guess not.", he put back the shampoo as he walked toward the front end.
He noticed Riro already paying for the two strawberry milk by the cashier. She then noticed him approaching as she gave him a small smile, "Where did you go, bro?"
Her calling him brother gave goosebumps on his hairs, [Mate, the fuck? Do you hate me calling you sister or what?!]
[How do you like that?], she snuck out her tongue to mock him.
"H and B section, didn't find strawberry shampoos.", he placed down the strawberries packs on the counter as the cashier quickly scanned the barcodes labelled on the packs. Riro sighed sadly to sympathize with him, "You can use mine, y'know?"
Rirota's eyes shrunk, "Hoi! No thanks, I'll just order a box's worth later.", she snickered, "Hehe, don't be too shy, right, cashier-san?"
The girl by the cashier was flustered by the sudden spotlight on her, "Huh? Uh..."
Rirota sighed as he pulled out his credit card to pay for the packs, "Please ignore my weird ass sister, we argue everywhere is all."
"O-Okay..."
[Tch.]
Riro felt a sting in her heart as she rolled her eyes before leaving the establishment. Rirota sighed tiredly as he followed behind her after thanking the cashier.
"You mad that I call you sis?"
Riro gave him the silent treatment, she felt annoyed with him for some reason. Rirota could only sigh at her silence, they continued their way to the Mizuzaki's in an awkward moment.
