GXP 9 chapter 6

 

 6 " Mr. guinea pig, please have a seat"


"This is! ... this is a lot of data!"
Washu said ecstatically as she looked over the data from the kamidake

 "Uhuhuhuhuhuhuhu ...... Seina really is the best bug checker I could have ever hoped for, this is nearly twice the data that Ryo-Ohki has gathered over five thousand years... and in such a short amount of time ... ... I'm going to have to go through all of this thoroughly. "  
Washu started to scroll the data lightly and stopped scrolling at a certain data point.

 "Oh well will you look at this!"  Washu's expression became very steep.
 "The Battle ship Daedalus, lead by captain Tarrant · Shank ......, descendant of the Shank Guild, so maybe..... where is it ... ...!"   Washu started to scroll the data again.
 "here we go!"

 "Washu-chan, are you OK?"
 "Oh, Tenchi! it is unusual for you to come in here."   Washu smiled a devious smile.
Since she had met him she had treated him like a guinea pig, and so Tenchi avoided approaching Washu's research facility.

However ... ....

 " I heard that seina returned home, so I came to see him  ... ...."
 "I'm sorry they already got here and left,I completely forgot to tell you, that may also be due to Seina's bad luck, Ahahahaha"  
Washu motioned for Tenchi to pull up a chair.
Tenchi cautiously examined the the chair and sat down. Fortunately there were no tricks to the chair.

 "Washu-chan, what do you think about Seina's bad luck?"
" He's like a younger brother to you Tenchi, isn't he?"

 "Yeah ...... I've known him and kai since I was little... ...."
"... ... you must really want him to be happy."
 "hah ... ....  yeah so do seto and airi ..."

 "His probability Bias is the largest I am aware of. Of course there are probably people with maxed out ones but there's no examples of them surviving birth, It's amazing how long he's managed to survive. "

 "But how is Seina  alive?"
 "Oh, he has other special abilities."
 "Special abilities?"

 "He has an ability that helps him personally dodge a lot of his probability bias ...  an Absolute crisis avoidance Ability."
 "An absolute crisis avoidance ability ......?"
 "Well, in a way he has good luck that helps counteract his own personal bad luck "
 "... ... oh I see ... ...."  Tenchi pitied Seina and spewed a deep sigh.

 "Well there's more to it then just that, a lot of it is that he has learned subconsciously to avoid most things. I think the only reason he has learned that is because of people like you, Kiriko, Tsukiko, and giving him a reason to want to avoid such things. "

 "oh is that so? ... so then his luck is made better by us after all ?"
 "Well... maybe!"  Washu started to check some data

 "What's the matter?"
 "There was something interesting in Erma, Airi's secretary's, report ... ... ... there it is!"  Washu gazed at the data
 "Please don't get your hopes up.... but I may have found a way for us to possibly reverse that probability vector somehow."

 "really!?"  The expression of Tenchi brightened.
 "Really truly! Would you like to be the first person I test to find out?"     

---------------------------------------
 "Yes ... ... Yes.... I understand.... I'll tell everyone right away."  Kiriko hung up the cell phone and put it in a holder attached to her belt.
 she went back to prepping vegetables for dinner .
 " Karen, I just got a call from Washu, tomorrow I need everyone to go to her lab, she needs to  examine us, it's for something related to Seina, be sure tell everyone."

 "understood, I'll let the others know about it too, so Kiriko, like I mentioned earlier, what do you think about making a menu of pre-made dishes to sell in the shop, I think it would be a hit."

 "yes ... ... it would be nice... but what do you think of it auntie?"

 "I think that I would like to have something like that in the future, but i would need to find good employees like you to pull it off."  

 "am I really as good as kiriko ... ...."

 "The way you worked at the shop was awesome, Kiriko don't you agree?"
 "Yeah"  Kiriko looked at Karen and nodded.  

Karen who had gone to the store saw the pre-made dishes and boxed lunches and tried some. but she was dissatisfied with their taste and found them unappetizing so she looked at the things sold at the store and the pre-made items already for sale at the store, and thought up a prototype  menu  in her head and decided to try some making some of it for dinner that night.


 "Anyway today I want to make some of the idea's I had for the menu that would be perfect for this season, I hope you like it. "

 "There's no doubt that if you and Kiriko make it it will be delicious, but It might be hard for me to reproduce it."

 " Then I'll change the recipes a bit to make it easier ... ... I don't think it would change things too much. " please do so." "alright!"  Karen was very tomboyish, but she seemed very cute as she smiled happily.

 (I really liked how the other girls did at the store too especially ringo, she would be a great employee) kyoko thought to herself when suddenly

"Mia! Mia!"  Fuku ran into the kitchen.
 "Oh, what's wrong? are you thirsty?"
 "Oh. Fuku-chan must want to watch us cook in the kitchen."
 " I hear Ryo-chan was the same when she was young,be sure to keep her away from the flames and the knives"

 "maybe we should put her somewhere up high so she can see everything without having to move around."
 "Yeah! how about on the refrigerator?"
 "Good, then Fuku can see everything"
 "Mia!"

 "Let's just wipe off dust real quick."
  kyoko took out a small step stool and wiped off the top of the refrigerator with a cloth. Then she folded the towel and put it on a chair. "Here you are, Little one."  kyoko  put Fuku up on the fridge  "There can you see better?"
 "Mia!"  Fuku shook her tail and looked around with joy.
 "Thank you auntie" kirko said
--
 "Hey mother, have you seen Fuku-chan?"
  Yoshiko and Neeju came running in a little late 
"She's on the fridge, she wanted to watch us cook"
   "Oh you were right Yoshiko-chan ...she was here after all"
 "It must be fun to watch them cook."  yoshiko said looking at fuku on the fridge.

  "I would like to help, is that okay?"
 "Oh, jump right on in Neiju-chan"
 " Neiju, please help me over here"  Neiju and Yoshiko scooted up next to Karen and began to help with the vegetable peeling.  
--------------
At that time, Seina was in the room that Yoshiko told him was his, by himself. 

"It sure is quiet in here"  his room, which was wider and cleaner than before, had nothing in it but his familiar desk. Originally, Seina didn't have much. just his Desk and a bicycle he called the Kai special.

---------- a desk was a big focal point of kazuki's bedroom as well in dual---------


Everything else would always break down or he would lose it or it would get stolen.  
Like the scale of the house, the size of his new room puzzled him at first, but when he got used to it, it felt even narrower.

 "I am getting too used to living in large places"  Seina opened the sash for the curtains and door to the Veranda.
When he saw the country scenery from the second floor, He finally felt relieved
"Here I was never able to do anything ...... I had no were to go ... If I traveled someone would have been hurt by my luck,  so it's only natural I am so used to being in my room ..."  

His room was like a prison for Seina.
The only place where seina was ever free was in Masaki village.
 seina's phone began to vibrate.

 "Oh,Right ... I forgot they gave me this to use on earth."  The moment he hit the answer button,
Kai 's angry voice came from the speaker.

 "Seina! Were not best friends anymore ~ ~ ~ !! "
 "... ... Kai ... ... what are so suddenly angry at me for?"
 "You came back with a bunch of hotties and didn't even think about introducing them to me? I'm supposed to be your best friend! "
 "Oh, that's right, I'm sorry, I got a bit busy, but they are just work colleagues and various assistants" "... ... Your colleagues? Well, That's just sad. their all beautiful. I'd resign just to date them,  ha ha ha!"

 " I know but their like my support team, please don't be annoying to them, they try hard to look after me."
 "What! So they Are they like your own personal goddesses? You better introduce me soon! No ... ... Now! Do it Now! "
 "They are busy helping Kiriko right now ..."
 "Well, then I will come over! Hey Ma I'm, going over to seina's house! he wants me to come over right away, so I don't need you to make dinner ~~ Gaah ... " he heard  Kai get drug far away, and heard familiar striking sounds, heard the footsteps approaching the phone. he knew who was about to pick up.

 "Hello, is that you Seina? "
 "Oh aunt.... Tsukiko ... ... it's been a long time."  For a moment, Seina hesitated to call her aunt tsukiko because he remembered the kiss between himself and Kuisu who turned into Tsukiko on Jurai

"I am sorry if Kai caused you trouble. I can't believe its already been a year,  have you seen your family yet? I'm sure their relieved. I hope I'll see you soon,  please give your parents my well wishes. "  her gentle voice was the same as usual, but seina felt there was something different about her from her usual atmosphere.

"I can't, Actually I can't do anything right now until the store opens, they don't want me coming near it, but I'll try to be by once the store closes."

 "I look forward to seeing you"
 "Should i bring kiriko with me?"
 "Sure. Please don't feel like you have to hurry though, ...actually... I'm busy tonight. How about I make you something special tomorrow"

 "Sure! uhm.... well I got to go... Bye."  Seina ended the call and breathed heavily, released from the tension.
When Tsukiko said "I looking forward to seeing you"  it had unexpectedly made Seina's heart beat faster.

"Seina, are you up here?"  The door was opened and Kiriko came in from outside of the room with a Knock.
 "oh!! ..., ... Kiriko-san? Please come in."
 "Seina, it's supper time, and the store closes at 7 o'clock, so your father should be back home around 8 o'clock ... huh...? " Kiriko, looked and noticed that Seina was covered in a blushing sweat 

"Are you ok? are you tired?"
 "Ah ah ah ah, no, ... ... actually I just got a call from Kai ....  and had a Talk with Aunt Tsukiko... ...." "……and...."
 "your mother stopped Kai from coming over here to bug everyone."
 "Jeeze, He's getting to be such a perv... so what did mother have to say "

"oh not much she just told me to tell my parents she sent her regards"
 "and……"
 "Well I don't want to  have to stay here all tomorrow , so I'm thinking I'll spend tomorrow at Tenchi senpai's."
 "... .... my mom will be happy to see you,  Washu too, she told me she needs me to come by so she can investigate something, so Let's go to Masaki village together tomorrow. "
 "Okay... uhm what kind of research ... ... Does she need me too?"
 "She didn't mention you, she may be trying to fine tune the Kamidake to work more efficiently with us. she probably has all the necessary data for you... ... ... Oh, yeah  I got sidetracked... because everyone wont be back till 7, dinner will be kind of late, if you can't stand waiting you can eat something light. "

 "No, I'll be fine its only an hour."
 "I understand, well then please be patient just a little bit longer."     

--------------------------------------

 "Mia! Miah! Mia!"  fuku watched amazed as the food was set out on the large table in the living room. There were more people than usual, so it was laid out to have a sort of welcome party, and food was laid out on it to look luxurious.

Fuku was watching with excitement from the top of a cushion placed high in the corner of the room. kyoko also looked at the dishes excitedly .

 "It sure looks good doesn't it, Fuku-chan,?"  kyoko said as she stroked Fuku's excited little head. "Mya ~ ~, Myan myan!"  Fuku purred as kyoko rubbed her head in her hand.

the noise of a door opening was heard.
 "I'm home ~~~ "
 "Oh, welcome home home! Fuku, will you go get Seina?"
 "Mia!"  As soon as kyoko said that, Fuku jumped off and ran through the corridor like a bullet.
