#3 Kei Karuizawa

"What's your name, little boy? I don't really mind calling you like that but knowing the name of the boy that will play with my daughter will be very useful for the future." Lady asked me while I was helping her with some household chores.

Did it sound only to me like that or did she just tease me? No way, I am after all 7 years old, maybe she is just playful in nature and teased me out of habit. It's not like a 7 years old kid would get such a deep meaning in her words.

"Where are my manners, my parents told me to always introduce myself first. I am Felix" I said trying to look embarrassed while extending my hand for a handshake.

----(Lady's POV)----

Felix? That's quite an unusual name and what about his surname? I guess he is shy, however, asking for it would probably put him into an even more embarrassing situation.

----(Lady's POV end)----

"Hihi, no need to be so polite... Felix-kun. You can call me Aiko-Neesan." Aiko introduced herself with a light laugh while forcing my small body into a hug which caught me off guard.

I tensed up a bit, however, I couldn't detect any bad intentions from her so I eased up a bit. I promised myself not to trust anyone anymore but I guess I can put a bit of trust in someone while having my guard up for unexpected situations.

But these honorifics... I don't know how to actually use them. I used to watch some anime in the past but I can hardly remember anything from it. Let's just pray that it will play out somehow.

"I can't breathe Aiko-Neesan" Since she was taller than me, she was actually suffocating me with her melons. Now I understand how they almost suffocated in anime in situations like this one.

"Sorry, sorry, shall we continue in cleaning?" Aiko asked me and I simply nodded while I was trying to catch some breath. What a deadly weapon, I thought while cautiously looking at her chest.

While I was dusting the kitchen table I noticed a newspaper. I couldn't care any less about some random newspaper, however, 1 article caught my attention. Its headline was ADVANCED NURTURING HIGH SCHOOL.

"ADVANCED NURTURING HIGH SCHOOL - One of the most prestigious and biggest High schools, established by the government to nurture the young people who will support the country in the future. Until now it proved that graduates have 100% employment and college entry rate.

100% rate? It must be really prestigious, I will have to find more information about this school online.

However, if I want to go to a high school I would have to attend middle school or somehow bypass the education system if I want to apply for this high school. I will decide after I find out more information about it.

"Felix-kun, you were a great help. You can take a break and if you want I can introduce my daughter to you." Aiko said to me with a smile that was full of expectations.

Why are you so desperate to introduce your daughter to me? I should be considered just as a stranger no? You know me for only around an hour but I guess kids normally don't really have any evil intentions.

"It would be my pleasure" I answered with happy like smile but my lips still twitched a bit at the imagination of playing around with the kid. It wasn't like I could reject, it would be too rude and probably created awkward situation.

Aiko led me to a door on the 2nd floor and knocked on it lightly.

"Kei-chan, I want to introduce someone to you, I will come in ok?" Aiko said aloud

She must really love her daughter, she even respects her privacy while she is still a kid.

"Eh? O-ok mom" Quiet voice came from the other side of the door. If I wasn't focusing I wouldn't even be able to hear it.

Aiko opened the door and the first thing I saw was a kid. To be more precise a girl around "my" age with purple eyes and medium-long blonde hair tied into a ponytail. It was apparent that when she grows up she would become a beautiful lady... well not like I cared.

"Kei-chan this is Felix-kun. Felix-kun this is Kei-chan." Aiko said with a big smile while forcing both of us to shake each other hands.

"Felix-kun? That's really unusual name and what is your surname?" Kei asked me in a pretty rude way but I didn't really care, however, someone next to me clearly cared.

"Kei-chan you can't ask so rudely! And even if his name is unusual it is still beautiful don't you think so?!" Aiko scolded Kei and asked her a question in a quite threatening voice which made even me shudder.

"Sorry and I guess it's not bad..." Kei was still a bit rebellious but didn't want to be scolded again so she agreed with her mother's statement.

"Alright, kids I will let you alone so you can play. Felix-kun, don't mind her attitude, she is very shy." Aiko said so and quickly run away from the room and closed the door before I could say anything.

I will probably die... I just hope Aiko will come before my death for a rescue, I never wanted to do chores around the house so much in my life as now.

"You are thinking about something rude right now right?!" Kei said to me while frowning.

Ugh, does this kid have some kind of superpowers or is this legendary "woman" intuition? I can't really call 8 years old kid a woman. I guess its something that runs deeply inside her family.

"I am sorry but I am not interested in playing with you, I would rather study so I can make my mom proud of me." Kei refused to play with me even before I said something to her.

But to think that she would rather study than play at her age... It's truly fascinating but better for me, I would rather "study" with her then play some childish games, well in my case I would be teaching her. Although my memories are a bit messy and I can't remember my life memories, on the other hand, it seems that "educational" memories are intact, no they were even strengthened.

"Then how about you show me what you want to study and if you won't understand anything I will help you ok?" I offered to help her with her studying.

"Aren't you of same age as me?" Kei gave me suspicious look but that was it.

"You will never know who is smarted if you won't try." I provoked her just for fun.

"Hmpf, fine we will see who is actually smarter" (Kei) It seems that fish caught a bait. I smiled evilly inside. Even if this girl is a genius she doesn't stand a chance, now the question is whether to win by a large margin or make it look like I won by a hair.

I like this girl and I feel quite generous, I guess a close win will make her study harder.

----(Kei's POV)----

This boy irritates me so much. I have no friends but I doubt this arrogant boy has any too. I will teach him a lesson and then we will never see each other again. I will definitely complain to mom about this later.
