This is it. In front of me stands two men that my grandpa says are gonna be my tutors. The guy named Shigeaki Kato looks like an intellectual. He has a serious aura around him and his suit added in the serious mode this guy is emitting. It's as if he is a professional in his field and doesn’t tolerate slacking off in his class. On the other side, we have the guy named Tegoshi Yuya. He is the complete opposite of Shigeaki. He seems energetic and bright aura surrounds him. He also has girly features which made me doubt if he is really a man or a woman? It's as if I want to dress him up with lacey pink dress and make him wear a curly wig. He also has great sense in fashion. 

 

“I decided to have Kei, Satomi and Chiaki join you in your business class since they might use that for the future if ever they start their own business.” said grandpa which took Mr. Ice Guy, Mi-chan and Chi-chan by surprise 

“Eh? Even us, Yuuji-san?” asked Chiaki 

“We appreciate your thoughtfulness, Yuuji-san, we promise we will study well and help Rein-chan whenever she will have difficulty in some of the lessons.” said Satomi who looks pumped up with the sudden announcement. Just a while ago I saw her staring at Shigeaki-san. Could it be? Geez, this girl. 

“I’ll leave you now. Kato-san, Tegoshi-san, you’re in charge now.” said grandpa as he leaves the room 

“We decided that you take business class, first ne. I'll just be at the other room after your business class.” smiled Tegoshi-san as he looks cute while talking then he left us. 

 

“Ok, let us start our class now. Please take your seats.” Shigeaki-san started as he is still in serious mode, “I’ll be giving you advance lessons in everything you need to know about business. I have here a lesson plan prepared just for you and some readings as well.” he said as he brought out piles of documents which made me dizzy just by looking at them 

“I’ll help you distribute the readings, Shigeaki-sensei.” said Satomi sweetly which made me kinda cringe. Like girl, I didn’t know your voice can became so little like that! 

“What is wrong with her?” I whispered at Chiaki 

“Whatever you are thinking right now, you’re right.” whispered Chiaki as it was just a normal sight for her 

“Thank you Young Lady Satomi.” smiled Shigeaki-san which made Mi-chan blush. Girl, get a hold of yourself! Also, I didn’t know this guy can smile! 

“So obvious.” sighed Chiaki as she facepalmed 

“Ok, so now that you got your readings, let us proceed to lesson one.” started Shigeaki-san as I scan through the readings, I started to get sleepy as well. 

 

“Young Lady Rein, are you listening?!” said Shigeaki who is loud enough to caught the attention of the other three persons inside the room but not the one he is calling, for the young lady is now in dreamland 

“Ehem. Young Lady Rein!” Shigeaki repeated and with that, Kei elbowed Rein at the side which made her jumped in her seat 

“Ah yes Shigeaki-san?! A business is defined as an organization or enterprising entity engaged in commercial, industrial, or professional activities.” she blurted out as she is still half-awake which made Shigeaki’s jaw dropped. Satomi and Chiaki tried to keep their laughter but failed to do so. Kei just sighed and facepalmed. 

“I appreciate that you know what business means but I am not asking you that. I am just calling your attention because you’re sleeping in the middle of class.” said Shigeaki in a serious tone which made Rein who is now fully awake, look down 

“Go...gomen Shigaeki-san.” she said in her ever lowest voice and took her seat. 

 

Their business class ended with Rein trying to keep herself awake as much as possible to the point wherein she is pinching her legs just to stay awake. On the other hand, Satomi aces their first lesson by answering almost every question of Shigeaki. 

 

“I’ll be going now. Thank you for being participative, Young Lady Satomi and thank you for trying to stay awake, Young Lady Rein.” said Shigeaki and he went off 

“Mou. I didn’t mean to fall asleep. It's as if his voice is like a lullaby to me.” I pouted and sulk at my seat 

“You never changed, Rein-chan.” laughed Satomi 

“You should’ve seen the look on your face when you blurted out what business is a while ago.” laughed Chiaki 

“Are you two really my friends?!” I pouted 

“Yeah, real friends laugh at each other.” said Satomi who almost lose her breath while laughing 

“Especially when they blurted out something random in the middle of the class.” laughed Chiaki 

“Mou! You're just saying that Mi-chan because you’re inspired in class!” I blurted out and I saw Mi-chan's laughter fade away. Bullseye. 

“Wha...what do you mean?!” she defensively said 

“Tss. You cannot hide it Mi-chan, it’s written all over your face! ‘I have a crush on Shigeaki-san'.” I said teasingly 

“Tha..that’s not true!” denied Satomi 

“Shigeaki-sensei, let me help in distributing the readings.” I imitate what she said a while ago in my most annoying tone 

“Mou! Yamete Rein-chan! It was not that cringey!” protested Satomi 

“It was cringey like that, nee-chan.” Chiaki sighed 

“Mou! Why is it that the teasing went on me! It is Rein who we’re supposed to tease!” pouted Satomi as me and Chikai laughed 

“Rein, you need to take this lesson seriously.” butted Mr. Ice Guy 

“Oh! So we have someone here as well. I thought it was just the three of us in here.” I said sarcastically 

“You need to focus on your lessons in business class.” he sighed and with that, Tegoshi-san came inside the room 

 

“Bonjour~~” greeted Tegoshi-san in his cutest voice ever 

“Hi, Tegoshi-san.” the four of us bowed at him 

“Shall we start, my dear Rein?” he smiled at me 

“We’ll be going now.” said Chiaki 

“Goodluck on your etiquette class, Rein-chan.” said Satomi teasingly and I just stick my tongue at her 

Mr. Ice Guy just took a seat at the side of the room and took out a book and reads. 

“Do you really need to stay here?” I asked Mr. Ice Guy and he didn’t even answer me?! The nerve of this guy! 

“Let your boyfriend stay if he wants, my dear.” said Tegoshi-san and did he just flailed like a fangirl, I mean fanboy?! 

“EHH?! Boyfriend?! No, no, you got it all wrong Tegoshi-san! He is my overacting bodyguard.” I said in defense 

“Bodyguard you say? So you two are always together?! Sooner or later, I know you two will develop to one another!” flail Tegoshi-san 

“Tegoshi-san.” I sighed 

“Shy eh? Gomen, gomen. And just call me Tego. No need to be so formal my dear.” he said and smiled at me cutely 

“Kawaii na~~” I said in amazement 

“I know right.” he winked at me, “Let’s start ne.” he then started 

“First that we need to polish is your actions. I saw you coming in a while ago and oh dear, you’re masculine than your bodyguard!” he said exasperatedly 

“Ehh? I didn’t notice that.” I tilted my head at the side 

“You’re too stiff, honey. Let’s polish on your movements first ne.” he said as he brings out a pair of high heels 

“Don’t tell me you will make me wear that?!” I asked in horror 

“You got it my dear.” He smiled and pushes me at a chair and puts the heels on my feet. “Now stand up.” he ordered me 

I do what he told me and stood up. I felt myself wobbling. Man, it’s harder to balance in this than in skate shoes 

“Slowly my dear.” Tego said and assisted me as he saw me having a hard time standing up. “Now try to walk.” he added 

“I’m not so sure about that.” I said in doubt but still did my best. I walked with the heels on and I felt like I'm just starting to walk. After a few inches forward, I felt myself wobbling and was about to fall down when Tego immediately caught me 

“Arigatou.” I said as I felt hot sensation on my cheeks as we were so close to each other. And did I mentioned that he smells good as well? 

 

 

The next day. 

 

"Rein, wake up!” I was still in dreamland when I heard a voice that is trying to interrupt my dear slumber 

“Rein!” this time, I felt that my body is being shaken. I tried to shove away the hand of whoever is shaking me but it won’t budge 

“REIN WAKE UP!” this time, the voice was louder and irritating in the ears 

“WHAT THE DO YOU WANT?!!!” I shouted without opening my eyes and shove the hand of whoever is trying to interrupt my sleep. I felt that my knuckles bumped into something but I didn’t give a damn to look, until. 

“ITTAI!” the voice shouted which made me jolted up on my bed and there, I saw Mr. Ice Guy holding his nose and is that blood?! 

“What happened to you?!” I immediately asked as I am now starting to panic 

“You ask yourself! Why did you punched me at the nose?!” he said in inaudible way since he is suppressing the blood coming out his nose. 

“Gomen! I didn’t mean to punch you!” I said and dragged him inside my bathroom and made him sit at the chair there. I then get my first aid kit and tried to tend on his bleeding nose 

“Aish! Give me that! I don’t trust your heavy hands!” he sneered and snatched the cotton away from me 

“Ok, ok! Geez. I said I'm sorry. What are you doing here in my room, anyway!” I exclaimed at him now that I am fully awake 

“We are just waiting for you to wake up but apparently, you’re a deep sleeper so Satomi asked me to wake you up or else we will all be late for school. You didn’t have to punch me.” Mr. Ice Guy said as the bleeding from his nose is subsiding 

“I said I didn’t mean to! And, what time is it?” I said and looked at the clock and my eyes almost popped out my eye socket! 

“! We'll gonna be late! Now out!” I exclaimed and hurriedly pushed him out my bathroom, closed the door and started to get my thing done. 

 

At the school. 

“Yo!” greeted Hikaru as he saw us at the locker area 

“Ohayo!” we greeted back at him 

“What happened on your nose, Kei? Did you get into a fight or something?” asked Hikaru as he saw a cotton sticking in the nose of Mr. Ice Guy 

“Yeah, got a fight with a dragon this early in the morning.” hissed Mr. Ice Guy as he looks daggers at me 

“I said I didn’t mean to punch you!” I exclaimed as he is getting on my nerve. 

“Eh? Punch? What happened?” asked Hikaru who looks confused 

“The jolly Rein you know becomes a dragon whenever you try to ruin her deep slumber.” Satomi said as if I am not here and I cannot hear her 

“And Kei unfortunately experienced it when he woke her up a while ago.” laughed Chiaki 

“Kowaii na~~ anyway, why did you woke her up? You mean, you went inside her room?! You sly!!” Hikaru shouted as Keito covers his mouth 

“Why so loud this early in the morning?!” Keito hissed and greeted us, “Ohayo.” 

“Ohayo! What's the commotion all about?” asked Kota as he saw Keito covering Hikaru’s mouth and Mr. Ice Guy having a cotton sticking inside his nose 

“Take your hand away from me! This sly Kei here went inside Rein’s room to wake her up.” said Hikaru as he took Keito’s hand away from his mouth and pointed at Mr. Ice Guy 

“They just asked me to do it. Stop making a big deal out of it. Baka.” Mr. Ice Guy said coldly once again as he walked away going to our room 

“Mou. Sly!” said Hikaru as he noticed my legs, “Rein-chan! Why do you have so many bruises on your legs?!” he asked and starts panicking 

“Oh, this. I got this at my etiquette class last night.” I said and looked at my legs 

“Etiquette class? I thought you’ll just do business class.” asked Keito 

“I thought so too. But I guess there are many things I need to learn to become a fine young lady.” I said irritably 

“By the way, how’s your business class last night?” asked Kota 

“It was good ne! Shigeaki-sensei is so great. I understand every details.” said Satomi in her ever sweetest voice as she seems to reminisce the class last night 

“What is wrong with Sato-chan?” whispered Keito to Chiaki 

“Nee-chan has a crush on Shigeaki-sensei.” Chiaki whispered back but was loud enough for us to hear 

“Ehh?! Crush?!” asked Kota surprisingly 

“You bet! She is so attentive last night and she flails like a fangirl from time to time. Geez.” I sneered 

“I didn’t know Sato-chan has that side ne.” laughed Hikaru 

“Is your sensei THAT good-looking?!” asked Kota 

“Hai~~” said Satomi dreamily 

 

So my hell days began, every after class, we go straight home for our business and my etiquette class. It was so hard for me to cope up specially to stay awake in business class! The readings are like bedtime stories for me and are full of hard terms that I just encountered! Etiquette class is exhausting on the other hand. Tego made me walk and run on heels, fixe my posture in sitting and in walking, trained me to use different utensils in fine dining and many other exhausting things that crazy rich people do and practice! It is now Saturday but we still have business and etiquette class for the morning. After our classes are finished. 

 

“I’m mentally and physically drained.” I said exhaustedly as I slumped myself at the sofa 

“You did well, Rein-chan.” cheered Chiaki as she hands me a chocolate 

“Mou. You're so considerate Chi-chan.” I said as I immediately get the chocolate and gobbled it 

“You’ll get used to it. Daijoubu.” said Satomi as she pats my head 

“You’re saying that because you are not paying attention on anything that is teaching to you. You always fall asleep at Shigeaki-sensei's class, and you are not taking seriously what Tegoshi-san is teaching you. Look how you eat that chocolate.” Mr. Ice Guy said as he looked at me disgustedly. I was so mentally and physically drained and this guy here dared to tell me something like that! 

“Then you take my position! If you really want to keep up with what they’re teaching then you do it! Can't you understand that it’s hard for me! I'm not intelligent like you or Mi-chan or Chi-chan, I don’t act elegant like them as well, but I'm trying to! If you got a problem with that then get lost!” I angrily said as I walked out the room and banged the door 

 

Kei was about to go after Rein when Satomi and Chiaki blocked his way. 

“Wrong move, Kei.” said Chiaki as she turns her head side to side 

“What?” Kei asked and looks dumbfounded 

“Rein is trying her best to focus on class. You see, she is not the studious type of person. For her, studying is stu-DYING. But I can see how well she is trying to cope up with everything. Please also remember that she is not used to this. She is used with boyish things so let us be considerate of her.” defended Satomi 

“But--” Kei was interrupted 

“No buts!” said Satomi and Chiaki in perfect sync 

“Now let her be alone for the meantime. Or do you want to get punched again.” warned Chiaki as they both went out the room. 

 

I am so pissed off right now that I wanted to punch somebody! I marched inside my room and think for a while. I need to get this anger out! I need to! So, I decided that I'll sneak out this household. I changed into my good old clothes; loose shirt, loose pants, cap and snickers. I get my skateboard and I sneak out. This is an advantage with big household, you can easily hide from anyone and sneak out. I managed to sneak out the household and ride my good old skateboard. Woohoo! Freedom! 

 

Meanwhile at the park. 

“Gomen ne, Keito-kun if I'm late.” said Chiaki who is getting out of breath because she ran going to the park 

“Oh, daijoubu.” smiled Keito, “Did you run?” he asked 

“Hai. I don’t want to keep you waiting.” said Chiaki as she pants 

“Geez, you know that I am always willing to wait for you.” said Keito as Chiaki felt hot sensation on her cheeks 

 

The two went to the mall. 

“Thank you for accompanying me in buying new guitar.” said Chiaki as they were about to go inside the music store but noticed that there are bunch of people gathering at the activity area of the mall. 

“I wonder what’s that?” asked Keito 

“Let’s go see!” said Chiaki as she drags Keito towards the activity area of the mall and saw that her favorite actor is having a mall tour. 

“OMG! It’s Sakurada Dori!” squeal Chiaki like a fangirl, “Gosh! How can I forgot that he will have his mall tour here today!” she said as she pushed her way through the crowd and luckily able to land in a good position near the barricade 

“He sure does have a lot of fans ne.” said Keito as he looks around and saw a sea of fans gathering in the activity area as well. 

“Let’s watch him first ne? Onegai?” said Chiaki cutely which never fail to make Keito’s heart skipped a beat 

“Ok. If that’s what you want ne.” smiled Keito 

 

Keito feels as if the crowd is pushing forward as Dori started singing and playing his guitar, Keito got scared that Chiaki will get squeezed by the crowd so he pinned Chiaki at the barricade, having both his muscular arms around her and tried to keep the crowd behind him move forward. Chiaki realized their situation as she felt Keito’s muscular abs behind her and looked at him. 

“Just enjoy the show ne. I'll protect you.” smiled Keito which made Chiaki blush 

 

 

At the other side of the mall. 

“Kota, gomen ne for keeping you waiting.” said Satomi as she rushed towards Kota, “We had a class a while ago so I can’t come early. I got to see Shige-sensei once again.” she said while flailing like a fangirl 

“Shige-sensei?!” asked Kota surprisingly 

“Hai! It's my nickname for him. But I don’t call him like that in class, only when I'm talking about him with you guys.” Satomi flailed, “He looks so kakkoi while teaching. And his voice is so soothing. Music to my ears.” said Satomi dreamily 

“Sato-chan, you’re with me so would you...not talk about other guys?” said Kota shyly as he looks down 

“Eh? Go..gomen ne, Kota-kun.” asked Satomi as she was surprised to what Kota said, “Anoo, anyway, why did you asked me here? Do you have some student council stuff that you want me to do?” Satomi chuckled 

“No. It's not that. I just want to treat you today. You know, as a thank you for all the help you did for me.” Kota said shyly as he scratched the back of his head 

“Geez, you don’t have to.” said Satomi as she was surprised to what Kota said 

“But I want to! Let me spend a day with you, ne?” said Kota as he looks so cute and shy at the same time and made Satomi blush 

“Wakatta.” smiled Satomi, “So what are we gonna do?” she asked 

“Wanna watch a movie?” asked Kota 

“Ah, hai! Timing that I want to watch Rurouni Kenshin Live Action.” said Satomi happily 

“Alright then, Rurouni Kenshin it is.” smiled Kota as they went to the cinema 

 

Satomi and Kota started to watch the movie. 

“OMG!” exclaimed Satomi during the fight scenes as she hits Kota’s shoulder 

“Mou~~ I didn’t know you can be violent while watching ne.” pouted Kota and laughs as he looks at Satomi’s reaction 

“Gomen ne, I am getting carried away.” said Satomi as she was about to get a popcorn and was surprised as she felt Kota’s hand who also was about to get a popcorn held her hand inside the popcorn container. They agreed to buy just one big popcorn since Kota says he cannot finish even the small tub of popcorn. She looked at Kota and found him smiling at her. She blushed and stuffed Kota’s mouth with popcorn and lightly laughed at her seat. 

 

 

I managed to sneak out the household and happily ride my skateboard. It's been a while since I last ride this. I am still pissed off with that Ice Guy! I wanted to punch his face! I ride my skateboard until I reached the town and I immediately went into my favorite past time after I finished with my part time work before; the arcade. I bought many tokens as I can and played with the different games there. 

 

Back in the household. 

“Where did Rein went?!” Kei is starting to panic as he searched everywhere and did not see any signs of Rein, “Did something happened to her again?!’ he is very panic right now. He called Satomi to ask if she saw any signs of Rein 

“Hello Sato, Rein is missing. Have you seen her?!” asked Kei in a very panicked tone 

“Relax, Kei.” said Satomi as she munches on her beef as she and Kota are now eating. 

“Relax?! How can I relax when Rein is missing!” exclaimed Kei 

“You made her upset, so there’s only one place where she would go.” smirked Satomi 

“Where?!” asked Kei 

“The arcade center.” answered Satomi 

 

Even if Kei does not get what Rein is doing at the arcade center, he still went there as fast as he can. He then searched the whole area for Rein and he sighed in relief when he saw Rein at the hammer strength area. 

“This is for you, Mr. Ice Guy, Kei Inoo bastard!!!” I shouted and hit the target with the hammer in my hands and the metal rocket shoot to the bell and got stuck there. Yabbai, did I hit it too hard? 

“So you’re that angry to me, Rein.” I was surprised when I heard a voice behind me and was even surprised when I saw that Mr. Ice Guy is standing behind me 

“Wha..what are you doing here?! How did you know I am here?!” I shouted at him; I am still pissed off at him 

“Wherever you go, I will always find you, Rein.” he said and I felt my cheeks heat 

“Urusai! I am still pissed at you!” I told him, “Go away. I don’t want you near me! I can go home alone.” I hissed 

“Gomen. I was so rude a while ago. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.” I was surprised with what he said and I turned at him and see the sincerity in his eyes. 

“If you’re really sorry then you have to do what I want.” I smirked at him and saw him gulped. 

“Wa..wakatta. What is it then?” he then asked 

“Beat me at these arcade games.” I smirked 

“Ehh?” he asked with wide eyes 

“Hai. Doue? Don’t you know how to play these?” I  

“Hai.” he said lightly as he looked down 

“EHH?! What kind of childhood did you had?!” I exclaimed in surprise 

“I was not allowed to go outside and play with these kinds of stuff. My whole childhood revolves around piano lessons, international language lessons and other lessons.” he said which shook me to the core 

“Woah. What a childhood. Ok then, it is not too late though, I will teach you.” I smiled at him and took him to the different arcade games and teach him. He is a fast learner though. After we played at the arcade, we both got hungry so I took him into my favorite area which have street foods lining across the street 

“What are we doing here?” he asked as he looked around 

“We’re here to eat!” I said and dragged him into the takoyaki stall 

“What is that?” he asked again 

“This is takoyaki. This is my favorite. Geez, don’t tell me you haven’t eaten one of this?” I asked 

“Ah. Nope.” he said which once again shook me 

“Ehh?! The eat this now!” I said and stuffed a takoyaki in his mouth. I saw him chewing it and his eyes sparked! 

“Is it good?” I asked 

“Hai!” he said and eats more 

 

We also ate grilled squid, gyoza, okonomiyaki, yakitori, taiyaki and crepes. 

“I am sooo full!” I exclaimed as I rubbed my stomach in satisfaction, “How about you? How was your first experience in the arcade and your first time eating street foods?” I asked him 

“I had so much fun! All those arcade games are fun and all these street foods are so good that I am so full as well.” he said and it was the first time I saw him like a kid who is loosen up and carefree, “Arigatou, Rein.” and in the very first time, he smiled at me.
