Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Everyone knows your greatness, Mom.
"Do you have anything to say to me, Kotori?"
The room remained completely silent, Kotori bit into her lollipop once more and sat down in a chair by the door, her mouth open to yawn and answer in a few words.
"Yes, I have something."
As I crossed my legs, I opened my system to see which missions remained to be completed.
[Aqua System Activation]
[Missions Completed: Asia Argento's Intermediate Confidence, Fuck Ruby, Initial Exercises and Shoot or Die]
[Missions not completed: Meeting Asia]
[Next missions: Tomorrow]
I needed to speed things up with little Asia, it's been a while since I've talked to her on the phone... we used to talk a bit before bed when she was insomniac, waking up in the middle of the night to messages from her.
"Answer me, are you the monarch of the seals?"
When I was interrupted by the question, I quickly shut down my system and paid attention to Kotori, who kept her voice down... she wasn't getting involved in anything.
"Yes, apparently I can't hide it from you, knowing the purpose I had against Kurumi Tokisaki."
My ability as the monarch of seals can be sniffed out by any spirit belonging to the Date a Live universe... people outside this world, who don't know Kotori and the rest of her acquaintances, need to find out by watching me perform the seals on the spirits.
Her expression was neutral for a moment, the more time passed... her lollipop had already melted in her mouth, she chewed it like gum and spat it into the trash can.
"I understand, I'll need your help later if you don't mind."
Help? Well... I know where this is going, the story will be the same, but I'll take it easy.
Denying this request isn't in my final decision, but I first want to know what the first step of her help would be.
"Right, but... what help would it be? What's the first step?"
"The first step will be...-"
Just as Kotori was about to say the first step, a silver-haired woman appeared through the automatic door that opened in front of us.
"Hi, good afternoon. Are you all right?"
Kotori ended up slapping herself in the face with her hand, indignant that Reine Murasame had gotten in the way of a discussion.
"You should be referring to him, not me, Reine."
With a slightly arrogant tone from Kotori, Reine looks at me with her sleepy, attractive eyes.
"This actor? We brought him here hours ago."
Wait... how does she know I'm an actor? I'm a child actor, of course, but it wouldn't be possible for her to have my details relating to my future profession when I haven't graduated from the institution.
Besides, I forgot to tell Ruby's class teacher that she would be absent today, how careless of me.
"Murasame-san, how do you know I'm an actor? You shouldn't have access to anything of mine."
"And I don't have access to any of your data, dear. Shall I tell you how I met you?"
My eyebrows furrowed when I heard that, she knew me in some other way? That's impossible.
"I've seen you acting alongside actress Kana Arima, in that series that was based on a novel/suspense book where at the end of the episode... you appeared and made the reach of the work leverage a lot."
Her statement about the literary work converted into a low-cost series, where I ended up starring as the killer at the end of the episode... surprised me, because I didn't expect her to be one of these people.
It's no news that the reincarnation sky man has completely changed the universe, some things can always have a chance to mesh perfectly, making it even easier for me to socialize.
"And also... I used to love watching Ai Hoshino's concerts."
The sound of my heartbeat suddenly screamed loudly in my ears, hearing this name always touches me in a frightening way.
Things that are so well known, most people will always know, but information about me nobody really knows... so it's all under control.
As I felt my heart pound and my breathing slow down a little, Kotori turned a worried gaze on me... without understanding a thing.
"That's good, Reine, I'm glad to hear it..."
[Reine's short POV]
Was her happiness really genuine? Seeing that young face, with its eyes that shone like the universe... where a big star was always emblazoned in its left eye, was so beautiful.
I've always felt tired, and that's always been part of me... but I've never stopped enjoying my hobbies since I was younger.
Your eyes remind me of those two babies dancing with those light sticks lying on a trolley, that video exploded at the time... everyone had loved seeing two newborns loving the big Ai Hoshino show.
"Aren't you over her yet?"
[Ending Reine's POV]
"I'm over her, it's just that my sister always reminds me of her when she mentions that name... and it's fine."
Watching Reine, she ends up approaching me and hugging my head... where I end up feeling her big breasts squeezing my face.
"I'm sorry about anything, I hope I didn't hit you with something."
Reine's sleepy, sweet voice suddenly made me feel a little warm, her touch was very sincere and welcoming... like that of a mother, I think I can understand the rest of the story.
"It's okay, we have to move on, don't we?"
Her face wore a small smile even though there were two dark circles under her eyes and she looked as sleepy as she had in 30 years.
"Yes, always keep going."
Reine stops hugging me and walks over to the automatic door from which she entered.
"According to my system, your health is stable, you can leave now."
Getting out of bed, I picked up my belongings and put them in my pocket, the time was normal, and I could get back to school in time.
"Thanks for saving me, you can finish talking to me later, Kotori."
"Go ahead Aqua, I'll contact you soon, just make sure I don't threaten you with something worse than a blue beam."
"Heh, deal."
The two of them end up saying goodbye to me next to each other, while the supersonic teleport takes me to the universal college, where I end up appearing in the same place where I met up with a friendly girl.
