CH. 1 - Mirai - Part Two

At the Mirai family's house, 9:00 a.m.

Red looks asleep on the couch but he doesn't sleep fully and just lay there relaxed.

Alisia came down from the second floor of her room wearing her favorite suit and this time because the air was cooler than yesterday, Alisia wore a white furry brown jacket at the neck. This is Alisia's favorite jacket but lately she rarely wears it.

Knowing that Alisia had just come down from the second floor, Red stood up to a sitting position looking at Alisia.

"Where are you going?"

"Going out with Monika"

"I'm sure it's not an ordinary walk"

"Well, I just want to see some places"

"Field survey?"

"More or less"

"Oh, I see..."

Red returns to his previous position of laying on the Sofa and this time he covers his face with the novel he just read before.

"Then happy hunting"

"Why aren't you going out too?"

"I'm a home man. Out of the house is my enemy"

"You're not Shiro remember"

"I'm just too lazy to go out."

"Hmmm. Then, I'll go first"

"Yeah…"

Red waved his hand at Alisia without looking at her.

Alisia came out of the house and from the outside came the sound of a car engine that has just drove.

Red takes off the book that covers his face then stands up to a sitting position and turns his head back with a surprised face then says-

"Did all this Monika just have been in front of the house?"

After asking himself and wondering, Red takes the TV remote on the table right in front of him and turn on the TV opposite with the table right in front of him.

When the TV was turn on, the Channel that appeared was the News Channel about a young female model who was in a stir and rising recently.

First Red doesn't care and doesn't want to see this news channel and he wants to change it, but after he sees the model that appears on the TV screen, Red pauses for a moment as if he is familiar with that model.

"Hmmm? Isn't that ..."

Red does not change the news channel and instead watches the news about the model until it runs out and until the news change. When news about the Model was done, Red immediately changed the TV channel to another channel.

After he searched for channel by channel, Red didn't find any interesting channels or TV shows. He then turned off the TV while saying "Bored" slowly.

Red then lies back on the couch looking at the ceiling of the roof of his house.

Silence haunts him. Very calm and no noise at all. His little sister and brother not in the house, Alisia goes with Monika and Gol'D having fun with his friend while Red at home doesn't do anything.

Even though Red is used to this and his character is very quiet, over time Red feels confused about what he want to do in the house today.

Watch TV, Nothing interesting.

Playing Games, Red prefers to play games at night or with Gol'D.

Eat, he already ate.

There is nothing else he can do at home. Then, in the end Red decides-

"A short walk out of the house might not be a problem"

Red stands up from the sofa and goes straight to his room.

Red takes his red jacket, his Red Hat, then changes his pants to a light brown camo pants, wear his dog tags where the half of the Dog Tag necklace reads "未来 家族" (Mirai Family) and the other has a big letter "R".

After Red complete dressing, Red immediately rushed down.

In front of the house door, Red wears Red and Black shoes. After completing dressing fully according to his usual suit, Red immediately opens the door and exits the house.

He locked the door and put the key in the post box. If the house is empty because all the residents of the house are gone (Red, Alisia, Gol'D) the last person to leave the house will put the main key of their door in the post box for anyone from the householder arrive at home first.

Before going for a walk, Red looks up at the sky. The sky is blue and beautiful, the sunlight that touches his face a little due to being covered by a hat warm his face, the cool cold air and fresh makes Red take a deep breath and exhale slowly out.

"Yeah. Looks like its okay to take a walk to the park today."

Red's first destination today is J City Park

J City Park is quite extensive. Many people go there to relax and play. Children with their parents are also often seen there playing and walking, Couples lovers are dating, ducks and geese swimming in the park pool, Clean and fresh green grass, Refreshing trees around the park and many more you can find in J City parks.

When Red wants to leave, Red thinks of one thing before leaving.

"Should I ride a motorcycle today? Guess it's a No"

After thinking that and deciding, Red goes straight to J City Park on foot alone.

J City Park from his house is not too far away from the shopping district but this time it takes more than 30 minutes by foot. Normally Red hates walking but because he wants to move his body and want to have a little exercise, Red has no problem walking today even though 30 minutes is a long time and for him walking 30 minutes is quite tiring...Usually. Luckily today the air is quite cold.

After walking for quite a half hour to the park, Red is almost arriving to the J city park. In front of him a few more meters he will reach the park. But before that, he entered the convenience store near the park. Red wants to buy some snacks and drinks as well as something to read, possibly a newspaper or magazine that he often reads.

When he entered the convenience store, the convenience store cashier, who was a young woman who seemed to be only a part-time worker, said "Welcome" to Red kindly. Red goes straight to the snack section and takes 4 chocolates from the chocolate section, 2 snacks wrapped in a large size from the snack section, 1 soda root beer in a can from the refrigerator section of soda.

After taking it all away, Red heads to the bookshelf. There are magazines and daily newspapers. What Red wants to find is game magazines and magazines that usually feature weekly manga, but the bookshelf only contain magazines that show beautiful models and fashion magazines.

"Hmmm. What is this?"

Red feels surprised because the bookshelf is only contain Model and Fashion magazines.

Red then approaches the cashier and asks-

"Today's magazine is all that?"

"Yes. Because lately that female model is on the rise and she is very young also very beautiful, many people want to see her"

"No doubt"

Red puts all his groceries on the counter and gives it to the cashier.

"Please wait a moment"

Said the cashier who took care of all Red groceries.

Red looks back looking at the bookshelf containing the fashion magazine. He then approached the bookshelf again and looked back at the magazines, all of which were almost the same.

He took one and saw that the cover of the magazine was a young beautiful girl who had previously appeared on TV.

Red just falls silent with his straight face then a few seconds later Red smiles a little. Red takes the magazine and returns to the cashier and gives it to the cashier.

After everything has been calculated and given the nominal value of Red purchases, Red pays according to the overall price requested without returning.

Red takes a plastic bag containing all his groceries from the cashier and goes straight out of the convenience store.

"Thank you. We are waiting for your return" said the cashier when Red left the convenience store.

After the convenience store, Red goes straight to the park and looks for a seat in the park that is empty and spacious.

Red finds there's a large empty garden chair that is not occupied by anyone. Red immediately sits on the chair and puts his groceries next to him.

Red takes a packet of snacks from a plastic bag and takes a can of soda root beer from the plastic bag.

Red opens a packet of snacks and then eats slowly. Red then takes a model magazine with a cover of a girl who is very beautiful and still young. A model that is on the rise because of her beautiful face and a very feminine body that surpasses anyone.

Red opens the magazine and flips sheet by sheet from it. He looked at the magazine while eating snacks. He held and flipped the magazine with his left hand and ate a snack with his right hand.

Sometimes it seems that Red smiles a little and wants to laugh when he sees a few pages from the magazine.

"As always, the way you pose is always extreme"

Red says it as if he already knows and knows a lot about the model. At first glance it sounds like a fan that is used to his idol but for Red's own case, he seems to recognize who the model is.

Page after page of Red seeing the same model, Red thought of a matter about all the poses and clothing that almost all showed the skin and fetish of some people.

"I wonder. Are you really an ordinary model or are you an adult model? All your clothes and poses are like 'Fishing' and 'Inviting'. You really haven't changed"

That remark began to explain that Red was indeed or sufficiently recognized the model as if he had known her for a long time and was used to it.

After reading or rather seeing the magazine, Red closes the magazine.

Red returns to eat and finishes his snack while looking around the park with his eyes.

Very peaceful this park is. A group of children playing together, a couple who are dating in the park, parents and children, elderly parents who are looking for peace in the park and also many more.

After the first snack is finished, Red puts the garbage in the plastic bag and takes a piece of chocolate that is still wrapped.

He ate slowly and calmly while feeling peace around the park. Red closes his eyes and leaned his head back, placing his hands behind his back on the chair to relax while whistling the classic song "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik".

Red just silent and feels the peace around the park. Later, Red feels very calm and he wants to fall asleep in the park chair...

Until-

"Kyaaa!"

The voice of a young woman screams that seemed there was just something happened.

"Tch!" Upset Red who feels that his peace is being disturbed.

Red opens his eyes and looks at the sound source.

He saw many people looking towards the source of the sound too. How not, her voice was quite loud and certainly could attract the attention of many people.

From the direction of the sound source, there was a girl wearing a high school uniform who had fallen on the park path and next to her was her friend who was trying to help her up.

Then what's the problem here?

At first glance it was just a young girl who fell but in fact she was nudged by a big man who looked unfriendly.

The man along with 2 friends seemed to be searching for trouble with the two high school girls. It seems they have a purpose.

"OY! WATCH YOUR STEP!"

Said rudely from one of the unfriendly man.

"S-Sorry" said the apologetic girl in a frightened tone.

"Hey! It's a day off and you girls go to school! What's the matter, huh!?"

"S-School Club Activities..."

"School Club!?"

"Hiiiiiiiikkk!"

The three men yelled at the two teenage girls very violently and made many people look at them...Especially Red.

"What school club? Is it true you girls went to the school club or you only wear school uniforms to sell yourself, huh !?"

"N-No...I-It's true-"

"Hooooooo, is that so~ You might actually just want to sell yourself, right~"

"N-NO-"

"Hoooo~ Dare to fight, Huh!?"

"N-N-N... No ..."

"Well then. Since you girls are beautiful and sweet, how about we help you girls add your allowance, huh?!"

"N-No-"

"Hah!?"

"Hiiiiiiiikkk !!!"

All three men certainly did from the beginning have a specific purpose and certainly want to do a bad deed to the 2 high school girls.

"Very rude"

"Why did they do that to them?"

"Anyone please jump there and stop this"

"This is very disturbing. Poor them"

Said by all the people who were worried about the two high school teenage girls.

"Hmph" Red feels he doesn't care and he goes back to eating the chocolate slowly.

"Come on, come with us quickly!"

"Kyaaa!"

One of the men forcefully pulled one of the high school girls.

"Are they really Isamu's men?"

"It seems so"

Red hears the conversation of someone around the park asking about their identity and truth as Isamu's men.

For a moment Red stops biting and eats his chocolate and then looks at the two teenage girls and Isamu's men who are seen forcibly pulling the two girls as the two girls try to fight their strong pull.

After looking for a moment, Red feels disgusted. He took a deep breath feeling "This is very troublesome". Red immediately devours the chocolate and throws the packet into a plastic bag. Red immediately stands up and hurries away.

"You want to fight, HAH!? YOU BITCH!"

The man who pulled the girl forcefully raised his fist in the air and prepared to hit one of the girls.

The girl who wanted to be hit immediately covered her face while feeling. Tears could be seen coming out of her eyes as if she had lost hope.

But...

Strangely, the punch never came.

"HE?!"

"HAH?!"

"WHAT?!"

People around the park were quite surprised by what they saw in a flash just now.

The two girls who cover and protect their faces feel even more curious and more confused.

They both tried to see what was happening and when they looked right in front of them...

The first thing they thought would emerge was the views of the three big men who were frightening but what they saw was...

A teenage boy stood tall in everything red except for his brown camo pants looking at them with a straight face. That teenage boy is Red.

"You?"

They were both very confused and amazed at what they saw in front of them.

Red holds out both hands to help the two girls stand up.

Still struck by confusion, the two teenage girls accepted Red's help and held his hand. When they hold Red's hand, Red raises them helping them to stand up by pulling them slowly but can lift them to get back on their feet.

"Are you girls all right?" Red asks the two young girls.

"W-We're okay..." The two teenage girls answered but were still confused.

After getting an answer from them, Red nodded and prepared to leave from there by turning his back to the two teenage girls.

"W-What happened? W-Where were they just now?"

Ask one of the girls who are confused and curious about the disappearance of the three big men who bothered and threatened them before.

Red doesn't answer and just looks back a little. Red then returns to leaves the park with his groceries in his hand.

"E? ​​W-What happened?"

Still engulfed in confusion the two teenage girls tried to find answers. After they expand their visibility and vision around them...

"What the???"

They become even more confused.

What did they see?

What they saw was the three big men who had bothered them before were now lying on the ground unconscious.

The man who previously threatening to hit them is now in quite poor condition. His right hand is twisted and turned blue on the elbow due to broken bones and on his face visible both teeth apart, eyes wide open but empty and his mouth salivating and blood can be seen coming out from his mouth and he was fallen unconscious.

One of them was seen lying unconscious holding his stomach and curling, From the inside of his mouth it could be seen there's a lot of fluid coming out from his mouth and his eyes wide open with blank stares.

The other is seen lying unconscious while stretching out his two hands. His left face looks bony and his left eye is blackened. Of the three, only he had his mouth not open but his face showed that he was very shocked at something.

Confusion still haunts the two teenage girls.

"W-What exactly happened just now???"

They then heard people around the park who were discussing with surprise what had happened before.

"What was that? Awesome"

"How can it be?"

"He came quickly. In an instant"

"With just one attack on each attack ... He immediately beat the three of them."

"How?"

"Even though his body is smaller than the three of them"

"Who is that boy?"

"Scary"

"Those are Isamu's subordinates... That boy just beat them up just now"

"Scary... But great"

Hearing a little variety of words and compliments as well as a little explanation of the Red action just now still made the two girls confused.

Even though they know one or two things...

Red saved them..

And Red...

..Is Very Strong.

Meanwhile, Alisia and Monika were somewhere outside the car standing looking at something in front of them.

"How about this?" Monika asked.

Alisia was seen smoking, she inhaled the cigarette then exhaled out the smoke slowly then answered.

"Not bad. This 'place' still looks perfect and hasn't changed a bit after we left it"

"The one who manages this place is an old man now. But I heard he wants to sell it for his grandchild's needs."

"Hooo. Interesting. What did both of his grandchildren's parents do that he had to intervene?"

"Both of her grandchildren's parents are dead"

"Oh, I see"

"You sound like you don't really care and not feel guilty"

"Indeed not"

"Riz...So? Want this place back?"

Alisia inhaled her cigarette then exhaled out the smoke and this time the smoke was more than before.

"Can you handle it?"

"Easily"

"Then we save this place first"

"Hmm? You didn't want it?"

Alisia inhaled her cigarette back then exhaled out the smoke a little.

"I don't know. This place is enough to make me feel nostalgic. Maybe there is a new place and better than this one"

"You know that there isn't, don't you?"

"Maybe"

"Hmph. Alright, Let's find another place first. Even though I want you to choose this 'Place' more, though"

"I know it"

Alisia threw her cigarette on the ground and returned to Monika's very luxurious car.

"Maybe it will succeed later," said Monika, softly not being able to hear by Alisia from inside the car.

After that, Monika also entered the car and closed the car door. After the car door closes, the Car drove.

Meanwhile at the Hana Family Cafe.

KRING1 KRING! KRING!

A small bell signaled that there is a new customer had entered.

"Welcome! A- Senpai ~"

Hana welcomes the customers who come and it seems like she knows who has just arrived.

Hana immediately approached the person where the person just stand there waiting for Hana to come.

"Red senpai, welcome back~"

Who came was Red who had just left J City Park.

"Yo, Hana~"

"Senpai looks like usual. Quiet and calm~"

"Is that a compliment?"

"Maybe~"

Hana can only smile sweetly and happily when she found out that Red came. Hana then sees in Red's hand there is a bag of plastic groceries and tries to commemorate Red in a tone that sounds teasing.

"A, Senpai... This cafe does not allow bringing and eating any food from outside~"

"I know that. I won't eat it either...Here"

"Ehehe~ That's good~"

Hana looks very excited in front of Red as if she really likes Red.

"Then~ Where do you want to sit?~"

"A place I can use to take a nap and relax"

"Hummpf~ This is Cafe Senpai, not a temporary lodging place~"

"I know that. But this place is for me a second place to relax"

"Second? Then the first?"

"Home"

"I knew it... If that's the case, then it's the usual place?"

"Yeah ... But it's not Alisia's place"

"I know that~ Then please come this way"

Hana leads Red to the Red table that Red usually uses to relax at Hana Cafe.

Arriving at Red's order table, on the table there is a small board that says "Booked" where Hana immediately picks it up and let Red to sit down on the chair.

Red immediately sits down then Red asks Hana-

"How many tables is 'Booked' here?"

"Only two"

"Mine and Alisia's, right?"

"Correct~"

"You have prepared it..."

"Because I'm very sure that Senpai will definitely come here~ Hehe~"

"Hooo..."

"Then what's senpai order?"

"The warm ones"

"Ready~ As usual, right~"

"Hm"

"Please wait a moment, Senpai~"

Hana goes straight to the kitchen to deliver Red's order.

Red's table is next to the window and the window is connected to the outside world where Red can see clearly out the window but from the outside people can't see Red clearly. Red's order table is very profitable for Red because he can lean his body anywhere and quite freely.

After waiting a few minutes, Red order is arrived. Drinks also snacks are brought to Red by Hana.

"Here it is, Senpai~ Anything else?"

Red immediately gives the money payment of his order to Hana, where Hana immediately understands what he means.

"Nothing else. Then have a good time relaxing, Senpai ~"

Hana immediately left without having to wait for Red to answer because she already knew that Red wouldn't answer because of his very quiet nature.

After eating out the food and drink within 30 minutes because Red ate it slowly, Red put his hand on his chin and his elbows on the table. Red looks out the window and sees a lot of people passing by.

Having felt enough to look out the window, Red immediately lay on a wide chair like a sofa and soft like a pillow to start napping. Red covers his face with his hat and in an instant... Red falls asleep deeply.

Hana goes to Red's table to check on Red. Once there, Hana smiled and chuckled.

"Ufufu~ Indeed of Red Senpai"

Hana approaches Red and then opens Red's hat and sees Red's sleeping face and Red doesn't know that Hana is looking at his face while smiling.

"Cute~ How can Red senpai be this cute?~ Maybe it's because of senpai is Alisia senpai's twin~"

That seems to be the reason why Hana is happy to see Red coming.

After seeing Red's sleeping face, Hana covered Red's face with his hat and let Red to sleep then left.

Meanwhile, Monika and Alisia are still heading somewhere by car.

In the car, they talked a bit about the various 'Places' they had surveyed so far.

"Hmmm ... That's almost everything I know. If you want to search again, we need someone else to help us."

"No. That's all. That's enough. I just need to choose one of it later, right"

"It's certain that you choose-"

"I don't think so"

"Ehe...~ Why?"

Alisia was silent for a moment when asked why she didn't choose 'That place' by Monika.

"I have no idea..."

"You can also help the grandfather. Later you also get a good name and reputation from the grandfather and the grandchildren."

"Hmph. You mean increasing reputation?"

"That's a good start to get a good name when starting the Hell Keeper business later. You will get the support from the grandfather and the grandchildren later"

"The intention is only for that and not because of helping them. Hmm ... Interesting"

"Uwaaa ... You really are a bad bad girl, Riz ~"

"That's your idea. You're the worse person"

"We bear it together~"

"Fair enough"

"So...You chose 'That'?"

"I have no idea"

"E... I guess I managed to persuade you"

"Hmph. That's not enough for me."

"Hmmm ... Then what do you need again for the 'Place' you are looking for?"

"At least ... Very 'profitable' for us later"

"A. That was very important"

They both laughed after that.

The driver who was far ahead in the driver's seat thought things that made him surprised after hearing his master / lady Monika and her friend Alisia talk about choosing benefits rather than helping someone.

"H-How can they be more concerned with reputation than the interests of others just like that... ??? Looks like my boss and her friend are scary.

The driver seen sweating a little from his face.

Meanwhile, at Hana Cafe. The time is now 16:30 and in 30 minutes the Hana Family Cafe will close soon.

"Senpai...Senpai...Senpai's wake up"

The voice of Hana trying to wake Red who was fallen asleep on a chair.

Hearing that someone is trying to wake him up, Red opens his eyes. What he saw was not dark thanks to the hat that covered his face but rather Hana's face that was close enough to try to wake Red up.

Red doesn't react and just falls silent. Red then immediately stands up to a sitting position where Hana also straightens up.

Red then looks for his hat by looking left and right.

Hana chuckles as if she's trying to tempt Red.

"Ufufufu~ Looking for your hat, Senpai? ~"

"Yeah"

Hana immediately puts on Red's hat to Red, where Red immediately falls silent.

"Have you found it yet?~"

"It seems so"

Getting a makeshift answer from Red makes Hana chuckle.

"Do you want to close Cafe?"

"Yup~ It's time for Senpai to go home~"

"I see... Even though I just want to take a nap for a while, but it turns out to be out of line like this"

"Ufufu~ Was senpai not feeling happy before?"

"... A little...Maybe..."

"I see ~"

Red immediately stands up from his seat, picks up his shopping bag get ready to return home.

"In that case, thank you for the nap, Hana"

"Not a problem~ Thank you for coming too~ Se-n-pai~"

Hana's tone of voice is as if she is trying to tempt Red and Red only answers "Yeah".

After that, Red immediately goes out of the cafe and immediately rushes home.

Hana was seen chuckling sweetly and then said-

"Funny~ Senpai is very funny~ I hope at school there are also a men like Senpai~ ... Well... That's impossible anyway ~"

Hana put back a small board that reads 'Booked' on the table.

30 minutes Red walking home from Hana Family Cafe to his house. When Red wants to take the key in the post box, he found out that the key is not inside, it means that someone has arrived at home before himself.

Red immediately opens the door and enters the house while saying "I'm Home" where Alisia can hear saying "Welcome back" from the kitchen.

Knowing Alisia is in the kitchen, Red goes straight to the kitchen where Alisia can be seen cooking something to eat.

"Where is Monika?"

"Well, of course returning to her home."

"I thought she will stay for a while"

"I thought it was like that too before"

"Is Gold not home yet?"

"Not yet. Looks like he'll be late again like yesterday."

"Hmmm..."

Red puts the plastic bag on the table. Red takes off his jacket and hat and puts them on the dining table then goes to the food cupboard looking for something to eat.

"No. I seem to have eaten too much today."

"Where did you go?"

"Park and Hana Cafe"

"I see"

Red goes back to the dining table to get his things. He left the model magazine for Alisia to read later.

"I leave this here. Who knows, you want to read it"

"What is that?"

"Model Magazine"

"I am not interested"

"Ohhh, you will"

After that, Red goes straight to the TV room to relax there.

After Alisia finished cooking and brought her food to the dining table, Alisia looked at the magazine and her face looked smiling and wanted to laugh.

"No wonder~"

Before sitting in a chair, Alisia opened the magazine and looked at the magazine page after page.

"As always, your pose and clothes are always extreme, aren't you? Are you an ordinary model or an adult model? Your poses look like 'fishing' and 'inviting' as usual."

Alisai said almost exactly the same words as Red before when he saw the magazine.

From this, it can also be seen that Alisia also recognizes this female model and it seems like they already know each other.

Alisia then yells at Red who seems to aim to tempt Red with this model magazine-

"Do you want to 'use' this later?"

"WILL NOT!"

"Of course. You definitely prefer to 'use the real one', don't you?"

"ALSO NOT!"

"Ara, Maybe 'Not yet'"

Alisia then looked once more at the cover of the magazine and spoke quietly that no one but herself could hear.

"I'm curious. Do you still 'Like her'? It looks like it'"
