Chapter 6: Realization, Adaptation, Synchronization.

Reika approached the man, Reika wears an clothing that definitely look like an advertiser, a flexible T shirt with designs of black and middle orange stripes, a black short and dark green rubber shoes, he also have an fake ID he just created on the way here.

"Hello, good morning sir!"

"Ah, hello, how can i help you?" The man smiles at him back.

Simply asking for a survey or directly saying the whole point will definitely lose people interest, that's why, i will show the incentives first.

"Hello sir, i am an employee from Rose Garden restaurant cafe, and i will advertise you about our service."

"Service?" The man asked, he's intrigue about the word 'service but Reika didn't let him think

"Our service sir is unique, we offer date schedule service or in short 'hang out service."

For some reasons, the man immediately show more interest.

"We communicate with our clients to plan for this, either you want to surprise your partner, a romantic date or a enjoyable fun for specific amount of time depending on the clients of how long will it last, but we can adjust the time too."

He's listening, based on his reaction, he seems planning to do so, it's a luck.

"Actually sir, we are newly open and we want people give us their reviews, and because of that, we will pick 30 clients to experience our free service, and you are the first person, in return, can you please give us your honest reviews and visit us?"

"Free? Really?"

"Yes sir, here's our restaurant and our team is pretty capable of ensuring a great experience, you can even hire me now!"

I lied about 'our teams', i needs to make it believable.

He showed the pictures of restaurant using Rariso's phone and included it in the print while he printed some stolen pictures of photoshoot dates in internet and print it in nearby internet cafe.

He seems hesitating, and so, i give him a reassurance.

"We can plan your date for a week depending on how long, we can always keep in touch since our telephone number is in this card, you can put here your number or your partners number too."

"Uhh, can we keep it secret to her?"

"If you are interested in hiring me" Reika smiled behind that mask.

The man look around and then sighed.

We talked as we walked on.

His name is Riku, i didn't ask for his last name, his wife's name is Erisa, they are living in a apartment for a while, he said to me that he just leave his job this morning before meeting me, he said he got stressed so much, he almost make his wife lonely, he worked hard so much for her but actually leave her alone.

Typical worker in a capitalist society.

Good thing, he saved a huge amount of sum for them to live and enjoy their life first, and he'll return to find a job after he thinks, his effort finally paid to make his wife smiled.

We discussed about the plan of the date and Riku talks with such investment on topic.

He wants this to be good as possible.

After all, his wife seems to becoming more distant and distant from him, she's avoiding him, he thought that it's the effect of what he have done.

"Don't be so hard at yourself mister Riku, i just deal with a guy like you previously, and so i will say it again, this is the present, do not think about future, plan about it."

"Haah, yeah." Unlike Rariso, he seems to be moved. I didn't talked with over reacted concern or flattery, just a listener that share his thought.

After the discussion about the plan, Reika ask him that he will call for the next day to polish the plan of dream date, he accompanied him to the apartment they are living in.

However, something came up unexpected.

Because Machina bell for the third time.

It is said mission, not quest

Reika pondered for a while if it's about the mission or side mission but that thoughts comes into conclusion once he saw it.

.....

He is outside of the five story apartment, in the third floor he saw Riku bowing down to a fat security guard as the guard seems angry at him, with his face, it's certain that his mood is ruin, for his beautiful wife however, she's nervous and as how she position her self behind her husband.

"..."

Reika remains quite for 13 seconds, and those seconds is only focusing on the security guard who has cheap act of trying to leave but actually just waiting.

"....."

Reika looked back on the door of Riku, his wife said something and rushed down quickly, seems like he's on errand.

"....."

Coming to this world, Reika really thinks that this world is just an simulation of his imagination, but with this, he's feeling absolute still.

Generic events on books are indeed fun, but not this.

"...Scum." Reika narrowed his eyes in such a cold way.

Reika didn't hesitated to call the phone number of the wife immediately.

Reika peeked at the room 43 closed door, and the guard is approaching it again, approximately will reach it in 3 seconds.

Reika spared no time and immediately rush the third floor while calling.

....

Erisa is anxious as she is trembling in fear.

It's been 3 months since they move into this apartment, at first, there's no problem of course at the first time, but several weeks later, she heard there's a perverted guard that works here, she's anxious about that since her husband is always late at work, later on, she got victimized by that guard.

At first, it's just a slight tease while following her. Until it got worse, touching her body, she tried to tell his husband or neighbor but this guard seems to know all of the security camera blindspot, when she was planning to tell him, she already got blackmailed with the hidden cameras.

She tried to report it but that guard can cut their electricity off and threatened her, she was able to resist the guard by brute force but often got hit.

When her husband came home, she can only avoid him or try to excuse, that guard got her husband number and he can send it to him instantly.

The harassing increased as he already pushing on but still not in a situation of being defiled or forced to have sex with him, just touch and body rub behind her.

She can hold on for almost 3 months but she definitely cannot survive if that happens so, she's in a verge of crying and collapsing, the guard is already knocking.

"Erisa-chan, can you now open the door, we will make it fast right now, i can't wait anymore you know, you keep resisting me for 3 months already, but you know, i can't keep it now okay?"

What should i do? Please go away....

She's crying already.

"If you don't open, i will seriously put send this to your husband, not only that but to internet too." As he laugh wryly

I can't survive anymore, it's hopeless, just when my husband is already quitting his job, it already became worse, this is my fault...

She cry hardly in despair

Someone, can someone hear my cry? Please help me....

And then the telephone ring.

A call? I must-

She was speechless, but whatever who's calling, it's a blessing, and she was already clinging that this is a hope for her.

"Please Help Me!"

"That's right ma'am, i am here don't worry, i will be in your room, your husband said you will pick an order for your dinner today." Said by a lively boy

But i already cooked food, but, he definitely hear me, is he pretending?

"Are you going to help me?"

"That's right ma'am, that's why i want to pick your order."

She's quite relief, this boy understood the distress on her voice and is now coming for her.

"Calm down ma'am and order what do you want, i recommend a matcha tea to calm your heart rate."

She's smiling with relief.

"Then, please open the door, i am here."

"Instantly?"

"Yes."

She rushed out of door and peek on the hole.

She opened it.

"Hello ma'am, i am from Shine Mahou restaurant, can i take your new order? And can i see the complain you said about our food?"

As a boy with a uniform of a delivery guy said.
