Volume 2 Chapter 3 Rie-tan Papa... 'Amamiya Teitoku' Appears
"......We have arrived."
Saying this, Kogoro-san kindly opened the door and let us out.
By the way,
"W, wow...!"
The place we stepped down was in front of a large building over 30 stories high, with a stylish sign that read 'Amamiya Value Technology Headquarters.'
"So this is the headquarters of Amamiya Value Technology... huh? Wait, does this mean Rie-tan lives here?"
"Yes. Oh, but the living space is on the top floor."
She explained nonchalantly.
Indeed, thinking about it, Amamiya Value Technology is a global giant, after all...
This much seems normal.
Nevertheless, I couldn't help but admire, "Rie-tan is really an impressive person."
"Please, this way."
We followed Kogoro-san as he guided us through the entrance of the massive building.
Suddenly,
""""""Welcome back, ojou-sama!""""""
Six beautiful receptionists lined up in a row at the entrance, greeting us.
"W, wait a minute! Kogoro-san!?"
Rie-tan seemed ready to issue some complaint to Kogoro-san...
"This is the instruction from Kisaragi-sama and Teitoku-sama for Rie-ojousama's important guest. Please forgive us..."
"N-no way..."
Rie-tan's knees gave way at Kogoro-san's words.
It seemed that, somehow, Rie-tan felt this overly theatrical reception was unnecessary.
But, Kisaragi-sama?
Teitoku-sama?
Surely, they are doing this based on instructions from those individuals, so giving up seems the only option.
Still, who could 'Kisaragi-sama' and 'Teitoku-sama' be?
Could they be her parents?
Yet, what on earth could 'Kisaragi-sama' be?
As I pondered these thoughts, I suddenly realized I was on the elevator.
"Whoa, this is so high!"
The elevator in this building has a view of the outside, allowing a look down at the town below from above.
Besides, looking down this way reminds me that this place is really prime real estate.
Amamiya Value Technology... fearsome!
Ding!
"...this is the living space on the top floor."
"Whoa! Is this... home...?!"
Stepping out of the elevator, I was immediately in a living space.
"Indeed it is. Please use these slippers."
Saying this, Kogoro-san handed me fluffy white slippers.
Trying them on, I blurted out, "These are some seriously high-end slippers!" revealing my lack of vocabulary.
What!?
That Sagawa guy, why is he laughing!
I'll kill him!
(Screaming in a high-pitched voice)
* * *
"W-whoa, this place is amazing..."
"Huh? It's just... ordinary."
"..."
I was shown around the house.
Actually, it was Kogoro-san, the butler, who led the tour.
Still, for a commoner like me, this whole space felt like another world.
I was so grateful to Kogoro-san for taking charge of the tour, as I was just filled with curiosity.
After the tour, we returned to the living room.
In front of me was an enormous TV embedded in the wall.
Huh?
This LCD... doesn't it look about 100 inches?
Embedding that in the wall is just incredible...
I had been in awe inside this otherworldly home, but after I was offered a drink and took a sip of juice, I calmed down a bit.
"Phew~. Sorry, Rie-tan. I've been overwhelmed by this space, unlike us commoners... I was zoning out."
"N-no, please don't say that! Just relax freely!"
"Y-yeah, I'll try my best to relax."
"But trying to relax is pretty much the opposite of relaxing, isn't it?"
"Shut up! Sagawa, shut up!"
I was spouting off at Sagawa, who was acting all cool, when suddenly,
"Hey, hey, hey, Sagawa-kun. And... Yuki Takeru-kun."
A dandy handsome man in his fifties entered, though he looked a bit intimidating.
"W-What!? D-Dad...!"
""W-Wha... Dad!?""
A chill ran through me and Sagawa at Rie-tan's words.
Huh?
Huh?
Could it be that I'm going to get yelled at with something like "Why is a man coming into our house?!"
* * *
"Nice to meet you, I am Amamiya Teitoku, Rie's father."
"N-Nice to meet you! I-I'm Sagawa Suguru!"
"I-I'm Yuki Takeru!"
Oh no!?
I let out a slightly high-pitched voice from my nervousness!
"Hahaha, don't be so nervous. I've heard a lot from Rie. It seems you're getting along well with her at school. I'm happy as a father."
"~~(Ahhh!)"
Rie-tan kept looking down, her face red the whole time.
I mean, it must be embarrassing.
"W-Well, I'm getting along with Rie-tan... Rie-san!"
"Yes, yes, I see. So why are you here today...?"
"Y-Yes! Um, well... I'm planning to go on a dungeon exploration with him and Rie-san, the 3 of us..."
"What? Dungeon exploration? The 3 of you? So that means... forming a clan?"
"Y-Yes! I just became a Seeker and haven't done dungeon exploration yet, so I asked the two of them to form a clan!"
"I see... So that's what it was. Hmm..."
"?"
Suddenly, Rie-tan's papa rested his right fist on his chin, starting to ponder.
Huh?
Could it be that a clan with Rie-tan is... a no-go?!
"...Rie."
"Y-Yes!"
"Does Kisaragi-kun know about this?"
"N-No! It was decided today, so I was planning to report it later..."
"Hmm, I see. Then, I'll report to her. Rie, just enjoy yourself with Takeru-kun and the others."
"Eh? Dad himself is going to Kanna-san? B-but, that's so busy, right? I'll make sure to report back later..."
"No, it's fine. I have time. Besides, this is 'top priority,' you know."
"Ah... Y-yes, understood."
Huh?
Top priority?
Eh?
I thought Rie-tan papa was in a welcoming mood, but... is he really angry?
By the way, who exactly is this 'Kisaragi-san'?
"Well then, take your time. So, Rie... *see you later*"
"Y-yes!"
Saying that, Rie-tan papa walked back towards the elevator.
Whew... that was nerve-wracking!
