Lets rest

Right now we are in one of fast food restaurant in the city. We decide to take a rest and have our lunch before continuing. "We" in this refer to me, Moca, Hina, and Maya.

Hina decided to tag along with us in exploring the city. She said that it looked fun while dragging Maya with her.

Maya : " So you come from England Elliot" she asked me while sipping her drink

Elliot : "yeah... I decide to go Japan because I really like Japanese culture and my parents let me go here for studying in high school" it also because I escaped after molesting a saint from the church I thought silently.

Hina : " ehhh~... so you are like eve?.... do you also like bushido?" Hina asked me while munching her fries happily

Eve is one of Hina and Maya idol friend and she is also a foreigner like me.

Elliot : "I don't know about bushido... but I like Japanese culture in general"

Moca : "Yeah Japanese culture is *nom* *nom*.... very good *nom*" she said while munching her burger.

Elliot : " Talking or eating please at least decide one Moca" I sighed while looking at her and 4 burger that she ordered.

I decide to treat her as a thanks for the tour. But she really ate a lot. I wondered again where all of the food went while looking at her small body.

Moca : "Elliot is a pervert~♪" she grinned at me. it seemed she noticed me looking at her body

Elliot : "Is that how you talk to the one who treat you to 4 burger Moca?" I asked her while grinning

Moca : "Scary~♪" she answered and continued devouring her burger.

Then I noticed Hina is looking at me with curiosity.

Elliot : " Is there something wrong Hina?"

Hina : "hey~hey~ are you two really not dating?" she asked me in high spirit.

Elliot : " Hahaha... not really, we just meet today... and Moca is really interesting and easy to talk to, maybe that's why we looked really close I think" Yeah when I talked to her. Its like talking with my male friend.

Moca : "Moca-chan cuteness also play important role~♪"she chimed her opinion in slightly playful tone.

Hina : " Then what about Maya-chan?"

Elliot :"pardon" I don't understand her question.

Hina : "You hit on Maya-chan at the shop, right? Ne, ne...why do you do it~? do you fell in love with her~?" she asked me while smiling

Maya : "H-hina-san... you shouldn't asked something like that" Maya responded while stuttering with a red face

Hina : "ehhh~why?" she said not understanding why Maya stopping her.

Elliot : "I just meet her today so it can't be said to be falling in love and I can't call that hitting on Maya because I only tell the truth after all" I said explaining it to Hina. When I said that I noticed that Maya face is becoming redder

Hina : "so you are saying something like that not because you are interested with Maya-chan? are all of men from your country like this?" she asked while tilting her head

Elliot : "I can't speak for all of the men in my country, all of us are different after all. I am sorry if my act is making you uncomfortable. I will try to hold it down" I said that while looking troubled. Maybe she doesn't like me hitting on her friend while not having any romantic feeling for her?

Hina : "What? No, no! I'm not mad at you! I was just curious, that's all! Actually, I'm having a lot of fun seeing you and Maya-chan at the store! it was so fascinating!" she answered while smiling

Maya : "Sorry Elliot, Hina-san is sometime quite blunt with her word but she doesn't mean any harm" she said while looking apologetic

Elliot : "hahaha... its okay at least I know she doesn't seem to angry with me" I said while taking note about Hina uniqueness.

Hina : "Of course not.... I won't be angry with a boppin' person like you"

Moca : "Elliot should stop *nom* flirting with every girl he meet *nom*"she said while munching her last burger... that's so fast Moca.

Maya : "hahaha.... But I was surprised that you decide to take that guitar in the shop... I know I recommend it... but it was quite expensive" Maya said. I guess she want to stop the subject about me hitting on her at the shop.

Hina : "And you are not even hesitating while buying it"

Moca : "are you okay with spending that much on musical instrument Elliot?" asked Moca with slight worried tone.

Elliot : " Hahah don't worry about it... I am actually quite loaded because of my part time job from my home town" I said to them

Hina : "It must be quite a good job to make you not hesitate to buy that guitar" she answered with a surprised tone

Maya : "yeah I am quite curious about your job now... oh, of course if you don't want to talk about it, its okay"

Moca : " It is related with your Violin... Maybe its from your concert... you said you are quite famous after all" Moca said... Hina and Maya quite surprised when they realized I can also play Violin.

Elliot : " It is one of them... sometimes I am invited to play in my acquaintance party... But I also sometimes works as Garbage Man at my teacher Environment Company... I can't play everyday after all" I said humbly.

Moca : "a Garbage..."

Maya : " Man?"

Hina : "hahaha... what is that? isn't Violinist and Garbage man too far apart for a job~ you are really intresting Elliot... this is so Boppin'!" she said while laughing

Elliot : "Hahaha I know its weird... My teacher forced it on me... but the pay was quite good" Yep... and I need to think twice before saying no to Zeltrech.

Maya : "Then what do you do at your job?" she is thinking about what kind of thing part timer do as garbage man.

Moca : " I can only Imagine someone who take trash from home to home" she said while closing her eyes imagining me as garbage man.

Elliot : " hahaha.... not really, its quite different... I am a private environment company part timer so the job is quite different from regular garbage man... If I describe it... eto, I need to find "trash" that is "hard to reach or find "and decide whether I can "recycle" or just "burn (destroy)"it directly I guess" I am not quite lying to them, I just didn't tell them the whole truth. Even like that Zeltrech need to have a front for his club... and an environment company is a good front.

Maya : " ehhh... it must be hard"

Elliot : "hahaha not really... my superior said that I have quite the talent for it and even offered me a permanent job there... I refuse because I prefer a job that is related to music... it is quite fulfilling though because I can contribute to the best of society"

Hina : "I don't understand it.... but that sound interesting... maybe someday I can try working part time with you"

Moca : " it looked tiring ~ so I will pass"

ELliot : "I don't think it is a job that suited for a girl... but let see when we have the chance someday Hina " not like I will really take her to the "real job". if someday she really decide to come, I just need to go the front of the company. I feel a little bad lying like this to her.

Hina : " then its a promise" she showed me a beautiful smile. that smile really hurt my conscience. Ugh.

After that we continued to do small talk. We deepened our relationship greatly. Moca talked about her love for bread and her friend in the band afterglow. Hina and Maya talked about their Idol band and its member.

When the topic switched to me, I talked about my family and friend home. When I started to talk about my brother and sister. Hina become so interested that she wanted to hear more about it especially about Kazuki. I talked about my relationship with Kazuki, How close we are even though we are not blood related. Three of them listened attentively about it. Of course, I didn't talk about how Kazuki like to take a bath and kiss me when we live together. I don't want them to look at me strangely when we just met each other today.

Hina :" heee... You looked really close with your sister~... I hoped I am that close with onee-chan too~"

Maya : " hahaha... Hina-san really love her big sister"

Elliot : "so you also have a big sister Hina?" I asked her with curiosity

She seemed happy that I asked her about her sister. After that me , Maya and Moca listened to her rambling about her sister. Like Maya said, Hina really love her sister. She smile so brightly when she talked about her sister. Even though like that, from what I heard, their relationship is quite distant recently and Hina is thinking how to get closer with her sister.

But this is first time that I see someone talked about her sister so passionately to someone. I lost count on how many time she said "onee-chan". After this whenever, I imagine Hina face, I will hear shout of "onee-chan" in her voice. It was so imprinted in my mind.

Sayo : Be silent Hina... I need to practice.
