The shock plastered on Takako's and Izumi's faces right after he finished saying his words are in shock and gaping, they felt it was all a lie and a dream, I mean such an idiotic face of Sora do you even expect something great from him.
"Don't joke around idiot!" Takako said, punching his head right on top.
"You shouldn't really joke around Sora kun we thought it was something serious, we were worried for nothing!" Izumi said pinching his sides while having a slightly angry face.
And Sora whose taking such a beating at the same time from his lover and friend felt like punching them too, 'I feel offended somehow' Sora thought to himself.
"It's true!!" Sora said, backing away afraid he's gonna have another one of those punches from Takako and a pinch on the waist from Izumi.
"you know you shouldn't really joke around like that what if we're in a crowded place and some thugs heard and believed you, you'd probably be on a street somewhere lying half-dead Sora, now tell us the real reason," Takako said, not paying any heed to what he said earlier and continued eating her meal.
"Wha-" Sora was about to rebuke but Izumi interrupted him which never happened before ever.
"What Takako said is right Sora kun, you really shouldn't say something that will get you killed," Izumi said not even stuttering from her words which when you heard her right now you'd think that she never stutter in her entire life.
"NO! you idiots, wait for a little I'll get my phone I'll show you!" Sora said and rushed towards his bag and pulled out his phone.
*sigh* Takako and Izumi sighed at the same time which earned a giggle from Izumi.
After pulling out his phone Sora entered some code and whipped it in front of their faces.
"Ha! See!" Sora said and felt really awesome right now.
*Puke* Izumi and Takako were drinking the wine when they puked it all out when they saw whats on Sora's phone.
"Hey! why did you puke the food!" Sora said, taking the phone away and took some tissue paper and passed it to them.
"WHAT THE!! SORAAAA!" Takako screamed at him and punch him even harder than ever.
Sora was confused and saw Izumi just sitting there with her head lowered and murmuring something and after a couple of seconds he understood what Izumi is murmuring, it goes like this "Sora kun has such a fetish" while having a little blush and a terrified look.
'WHA--' Sora thought and swung his head towards the phone on the ground.
"HOLY TENTACLES!!" Sora screams out loud but was met with silence after, then a punch is thrown right on his face, while also receiving some things getting thrown at him by Izumi.
Right, the picture that's on Sora's phone right now is a girl wearing a school uniform while having tentacles all over her body while only a little bit of her uniform that's covering her breast and private part.
Sora felt like fainting right now and felt that he just dug his grave, "Wait! Let me explain!" Sora said to Takako and Izumi while raising his hands to cover his face.
~~~~
After finally settling, they sat at the table but unlike before Sora is alone on the other side while Takako and Izumi are on the other, and though they didn't talk or anything the atmosphere still doesn't feel right.
"C'mon, it was passed by Yuuma to me I didn't even know I saved it on my gallery" Sora tried to explain to them but was met by a 'humph' from Takako and silence from Izumi.
"Well if you don't believe me I can't do anything but let me show you my bank account this time," Sora said and whipped out his phone again, but this time he made sure to not rush it incase another one of those pictures appeared.
After that he then slowly shoved his phone in front of them, Izumi showed interest though a little reluctant to raise her head in case she sees another one of it, but then after seeing what's on the phone right now, her mouth gapes open that you can fit an egg in it if you tried.
Takako who refused to talk to Sora and has her face is facing sideways, then felt Izumi's palm pressed on to her uniform and felt a little annoyed, she then turned to Izumi and saw her face in shock, she felt confused and followed her line of sight and landed onto Sora's phone, and before she can even speak she saw the numbers in there and counted the zeros after the 3 from left to right.
She then sees Izumi jump onto Sora and hugged him while tearing up.
Izumi felt adrenalin ran through her body and before she knows it she was in Soras embrace, of course, Izumi knows Sora's problems, he always let her know about his problems from far back from his childhood until now, Izumi even met Sora's father and felt that she can sympathize to what Sora is feeling because she too is in a single-parent family, her mother was the only parent she knew, her father is gone for some unknown reason, he left the three of them having no food to consume until the family of her mother came into the picture, they are by that time became well off, because they didn't know that their mother ran away from home to be with their father and that their grandmother is a CEO of a company.
While Izumi is thinking that, Takako is now perplexed and felt happy for her best friend, she knows Sora more than Izumi and felt that life has always been cruel to Sora's family, but he still looks into the future with a pessimistic view, he never doubted himself and moved every step of the way carrying his father on his back and still smiles, she tried to offer him money one time but he refused it, instead, he went and work his ass off for his father, and yes you can say that he still took some money from his step sister but that was because Chifuyu doesn't take no for an answer. Takako is from a very well off family and has never felt pressured in life but when she met Sora, when he first moves here into this city she felt like a whole new world opens, she saw the world a little better and has a whole new perspective in life, she felt more humble and open than that of an arrogant princess she was before she met him, and now finally she felt that life has shone its spotlight to Sora, Right now she didn't even felt the tears running down her face as she too stood up and hugged Sora with smiles and tears.
