The Immortal

Inside a gorgeously decorated private booth of one of the famous sushi stores in Tokyo, there were sitting a good looking young man. He looked fairly good-looking that if some of the legendary idol scouts witness his appearance they will begging for the boy to sign a contract with them. Across the good looking boy sat a respectable old man that imposing a regal and noble aura around him that made anyone kneel out of respect to him. A couple of men from different generations were eating their sushi in a dignified manner. The young man looked so calm despite the stern look on the old man across the table.

The atmosphere between the two of them was so tense that it terrifies the young waitress lady that served the sushi to them. The young waitress lady could not handle the tension inside the private booth decided to serve the food as quickly as she could and ran away from this terrifying room as soon as she could

As soon as she got back to meet her grandfather, the master of the store, she confused to see her grandfather worried face. Her grandfather was the renowned Sushi Master that even if he served his craft to the Prime Minister of Japan, he never showed this concerned face once.

"Hana, what are they comment about the food? do they like it? " asked the girl's grandfather with a worried face all across his face. He looked as if he served the Emperor himself and afraid that his head would be rolled because the customer disliked his food.

"I don't know. They just eat it silently. The atmosphere is so tense that it terrifies me so much. Grandpa, why are you worried about their comments? It's not like you at all." Ask the young waitress named Hana to her grandfather.

He was famous as one of if not the best sushi masters in all of Japan. After getting so old and start getting sick because of his old age he passed the shop to his son and rarely do wonder about sushi making again except for some VIPs of the shop. Therefore he has this sense of pride and aloofness around him all of the time. Even if the Prime Minister of Japan would receive an indifferent attitude from him at the best. Only some VIPs at the level of the Emperor himself would garner respect from him. Of course, the guest in the private booth is one of those VIPs.

"You don't know about the men inside yet, lad. Remember your grandpa's words, do not be disrespectful to the two of them." Said the old master sternly. His aged face held worried and fearful emotion.

"To that extend? you look so fearful when you talk about them. Who they really are? Even the PM still need to talk respectfully to you." She remembered that time when her grandfather received invitation to served sushi at Japanese PM office, the Kantei. The PM himself came personally and literally begged her grandfather to showed his craft at the party the PM hosted.

"Hah! The PM? They can even treat the emperor himself as a little kid and no one will have a gut to reprimand them" The old master told his grandchild how fearful the guests are. "Also lad, whatever we talked about and whatever will happen in that booth, keep it by yourself... Please"

"O..ok. kay" The young waitress lady looked thoroughly terrified after knowing the facts. She knew her grandfather never tell lies just to scare her. Everything she heard and witness today, she will keep it to her grave.

INSIDE THE BOOTH

"Grandfather, what are you want to talk about?" said the youth after finishing his food. He looked at the others face while grinning like a mischievous child.

"it's okay for you to talk to me normally, Ancestor. The room is soundproofed" The old man bowed respectfully to the boy as he talked.

"Oh, is that so? Did that brat Kazuhiko do it?" The boy demeanor suddenly changed as he looked more mature but carefree as he replied to the old man as if he talked with much younger person.

The scenes was quite unique and strange as the much older man that could be the boy grandfather was talked to him as if he talked to his elder. Further more, the boy was talked to the old man with attitude of an elder ready to reprimanded youngster for any of his mistakes.

"No, his son who did the renovation to this booth. This room was specially crafted for your need and this room is not opened to public, only for your use. They want you to be more comfortable with the visit" Explained the old man to the young-looking boy.

"Tell him my thanks then. Also, tell him to stop with the ass-kissing and practice to make his sushi better. I don't want to eat his sushi if his skill doesn't improve to the level of Kazuhiko."

"I will." The old man's face turned to a small smile hearing the complaint about a split second. Finally his face turned serious again before starting the serious talk. "Ancestor, we need your power again. -"

"No" Said the boy sternly refusing any negotiation without listening to the old man words.

"But the Godzilla will awaken in about a month! " Asked the old man desperately to the boy.

"I said no"

"But-"

"No means no" the young-looking man glared at the old man angry at the old man continuously pleading. "Ask the big guy to handle that oversized lizard"

"Unfortunately, the Ultraman responsible for this year is missing since last month"

"The colorful team? " Replied the boy as he looked increasingly annoyed.

"There is no new sentai for this year or they are operating outside earth"

"The bike riding guy?!" He replied immediately as he remember another possible victim to his laziness to faced the problem by himself.

"Ancestor... they cannot handle kaiju "

"Oh yeah, I forget" The youth is thinking hard about how to make someone do the job. "Are you sure there is no other vigilante around?"

"Yes, and the emperor himself asked to talk to you about it"

"That brat dares to ask me around now?!" The youth is angry about the fact that the emperor of Japan told him to handle the Godzilla. 'Should I destroy the castle? ' He thought

"Please don't destroy the castle, Ancestor"

"Are you an esper?!" Retorted the boy at the old man remarks.

"Thanks to your genes, Ancestor"

"oh yeah, that's true."The boy nodded at that replies as he also proud of his descendant inherited his otherworldly power. "No! don't you dare read my mind again!"

"You can just block it"

"Don't talk back to me! And it's just pain in the ass, so don't! "

"Yes sir. Also, please do something about the problem"

"Annoying... let me make a call" the youth extended his arm to the air and them a small rift in the air is appearing. The youth hand is going inside the rift and pulling some device made out of crystal. And then he yelled into it.

"Oy, big dude! Send someone to over to Earth right now! The lizard is coming out soon and the big guy this year is gone missing! If I don't see the new guy tomorrow I will cover your place with space kaiju shit!"

*tut*

"Done." Said the boy as he put back the crystal like device into the space crack. He also showed a smug face as if saying 'Now praise this handsome lord'

"Thank you ancestor"

"Next time just tell me over the phone! Don't just go to my workplace again. Also, prepare a new identity for me. The programming is kind of boring right now"

"I have them prepared in advance" the old man placed some documents above the table for the youth.

The youth reading the information inside with interest. "High school student? Not bad" the youth smiling after reading the document. 'I can ogle at some cute schoolgirl later, here. Or maybe a young sexy female teacher.

"Dating underage student is a crime"

"Stop reading my mind!"

"I am not. It is just showing in your face"

"Don't make excuses either! and it's not a crime if I am also an underage" as he talked his body changing to be more youthful, looking like a teenager.

"Even if you changing your appearance, you are still thousands years old man inside," the old man across the table said in a lower voice.

"What did you say?! "

"Nothing sir"

"Tch... anyway I am going back to pack my stuff." The youth suddenly disappeared from the room and the old man went out to meet the chef.

"Thanks for the food, Kazuhiko-san" Said the old man to Kazuhiko, the Sushi Master, waiting outside the room. Unlike his respectful attitude to the young man earlier, his whole being radiating more royal and aloof aura like those who saw everything beneath them.

"You're welcome Hideki-san. The master?" Said master Kazuhiko to the man with subservient attitude.

"He said he will come back. This is?" the old man, Hideki looked at the young waitress.

"My granddaughter, Hana"

"Nice to meet you Hideki-san. My name is Suzuki Hana." Suzuki Hana remember her grandfather words from before to not disrespectful to the man. Now she was showing respectful demeanor along with some fearfulness hidden inside.

"Nice to meet you young lady, Fushiyama Hideki" Said Fushimiya Hideki satisfied with the young lady responds.

Shocked by the words said the old man made the young lady hesitated for a little bit before asking "Are you perhaps the director of Damage Control?"

Hideki just smile at the young waitress question and talk to her grandfather "Kazuhiko-san it seems that the young one has a lot of questions you need to answer"

"Is it okay?"

"Yes, tell all of your grandkids already. They need to know as a member of the Suzuki family. And one of your grandsons is going to attend to Amanogawa Highschool right? The ancestor will go there as a student. I need your grandson to assist the ancestor."

"Yes, I will tell him later. The master name from now on? "

"Fushiyama Shin is the ancestor name for the this time. I expect you to deliver the order well. Then, excuse me" Hideki exit the store while the young waitress Hana still in the shook.

"Grandpa, I don't know you know the director of Damage Control! "

"I just didn't tell you yet. Anyway, kid, I will tell you now. The Suzuki family is considered as one of the families that serve the Fushiyamas for generations"

"Fushiyama?" Asked Hana to her grandfather. She rather confused by the name as she did not know any prominent big family that goes with the name Fushimiya.

"You must be wondering who the Fushimiyas, aren't you? Your confusion is justified because the Fushimiyas worked behind the scenes this whole time. You need to hold certain power and fortune to know their existence. They are the most powerful family on earth"

"the most powerful on earth?!" She was wondering what her grandfather means by the most powerful family on Earth.

"Yes, because the person that Fushiyama Hideki talked to before"

"Who that person is? "

"He was known by many names through the generation. He is our master that we have to serve. The Guardian Deity of Japan. The Immortal"
