Chapter 9 - Ch 009 Curiousity is Driving Me Nuts

Meeting up with Jack Springs really was an encounter brought about by fortune. If he had not went there to protect them, who knows what could have happened. To further protect them, Reiko Sagara calls for a car to ride them back home.

 

The driver was very professional, almost as if he was a real chauffeur, then the car was mystifyingly looking like a vehicle only the elites will own. But Reiko Sagara, only is a normal teenager and at that have a normal family. How is all this possible? This is what is making Forest Straw nuts now, in that so, he admissibly becomes detail oriented. But having panic attacks still, to a lessened effect, he just rides on and act unbothered by the affairs until curiosity rang about his mouth:

 

"Reiko? Did your family ever own this car since …" - Forest Straw

"No, this is for rent in this big event of ours. Can't believe the odd people there had to ruin it for us." - Reiko Sagara

 

Chatting oddly of topics that were occuring from before, instead of being annoyed, Reiko was welcoming of them, as if, wanting to say something kept hidden deep in her heart. But cannot say.

 

"I mean yes, the waiters, the people were also odd. For the last rich people to even get there, I think its either 3 stars or up." - Forest Straw

(Reiko Sagara got even closer, to give her a chance to talk more calmly)

"You know, if God were to give me a chance to see my love ones again, I'd rather not tell the truth to make them live and love more peacefully than they never had before." - Reiko Sagara

"You mean its for our own good … whoa what? Why did I say that?" - Forest Straw

 

Reiko Sagara wanted to cry, but instead of tears of sadness, what let out were tears of joy. Saying this to Forest Straw: "soon, it will be okay for the rest of us, you too will understand.".

 

Then suddenly, a black SUV rushed in then slowed down but then the police tweeted their sirens and let loose a sound. Then the SUV, instead of slowing down, speed more up.

 

After 5 minutes, 5 men were captured with high powered rifles and one was caught staring at Reiko Sagara's vehicle. By this time, Forest Straw's suspicion of Reiko's status got higher. Suggesting the fact that she is an elite of an elite. Not knowing the real truth, that alone is his suspicion.

 

".…" - Forest Straw

"Is the mood too uncomfortable? Should we have music, please sir, turn it on." - Reiko Sagara

"No, it's that, I am seeing things that don't seem to normal. I think you are an elite Reiko, you just didn't notice it." - Forest Straw

"Not that I am one, only that I know some people. Come, hurry up to the right. Were fast approaching our home… whooooooohhh (in a suspenseful manner)." - Reiko Sagara

"Our home?" - Forest Straw

 

Thirteen minutes later, they are already home. All seems normal, the house was middle class. Nothing too fancy but still, Forest Straw can't shake the feeling that they are more unique rather than normal.

 

There the Sagara family welcomes the return of Forest Straw as if knowing him from the past. To much of his surprise, Sakura Sagara, Reiko's little sister, mentioned something upon a whisper.

 

"Happy Looping! brother-in-law.". - Sakura Sagara

"Bro… brooo…brother-in-law?". - Forest Straw

 

Reiko, unable to suppress her laughter burst out in happy tears. Pushing the innocent Sakura into their house and inviting Forest Straw into their home.

 

"Straw, you're going to receive the hand of my daughter again." - Yamamoto Sagara

"No, its too early for that… wait? What? Again?". - Forest Straw

 

Although they already ate, Tanya Sagara made dinner for the family, the smell got into Forest Straw's nose and it reminded him of a nostalgic feeling. Almost felt like home and family. He was reunited with time to taste the very scent of those food that made him who he was and still is.

 

"Wow, such brand of having such food, delicious to my taste, how did you know?" - Forest Straw

(answering in Reiko's stead)

"If its to your liking, then come join us.". - Tanya Sagara

"Come, lets be in the living room, we need to show you something." - Reiko Sagara

 

There, picture books were placed in what seems to be a memory when they were children. To his surprise, he does not seem to remember that they were childhood friends. But now that there is the photos, he seems to have recalled that they were friends.

 

Then Sakura intervened with their happy moment and showed something that she should have not.

 

"Hey, brother-in-law, look, a photo when we were all together in the future." - Sakura Sagara

"How is this possible?! So cool!" - Forest Straw

"So what app have you used this time?" - Reiko Sagara

"What app?!" - Forest Straw and Sakura Sagara

(the three looking at one another)

"Oh silly me. I didn't know there was no app." - Reiko Sagara

 

A big hint to Forest Straw that it was also him that was no ordinary person. In that photo is some vivid memory he somehow recall. A guy in a tuxedo that looks identical to him, only that he is older and more mature looking. It is the only thing that stated, that everything that was abnormal is actually what was normal.
