When I got back to my rented house I took a quick shower and conjured some clothes. The affair was supposed to be semi casual so I went with a blue suit, a black shirt and loafers. I felt like it fits more with going to a club than a casual get together but but he wore a military suit complete with a sword in the series and was acting the part of the eccentric. The car ride was without incident and reaching the Takagi home it was obvious why chose it strategic location easy to control streets. This didn't mean the place wasn't beautiful but it wasn't naturally so in fact it seemed to be purposely made elegant. The entire residence was shaped to fit a standard and I was under no delusion that his life wasn't the same.
Seated in the dinning room with a high quality Japanese meal to show off their pride in their country's culture was the Takagi family. It was a subtle statement of their nationalist beliefs not that I cared but the meaning was clear. I pretended to not notice what the display was saying mostly because I knew that it wouldn't matter soon enough.
I've begun to realize how stifling it was to restrain myself I could easily just kill, kidnapp and rape the women I wanted. It would be easier to make these women obedient if I waited for the world to just end. I wouldn't even have to try hard to come up with excuses I could just pretend that the rules of the world prevent me from blah blah blah. I could also claim to not be powerful enough to do more or something. I nearly completely zoned out thinking about my future plans that I almost didn't realize Mr Takagi was talking to me about discreet funding.
"If things are as bad as you say about Ichirou Shido then I'll do my best to support you although I have already met his son Koichi so I don't think I need further proof"
Mr. Takagi: That is troubling to hear as my daughter attends the school but I believe that she is safe from his reach
"He seems like a slimy coward I don't think he would dare to do anything to your family"
We finished our meeting and I promised to have a few trunks filled with gold to be picked up by his people. Mr. Takagi thanked me for my generosity and I told him not to worry about it that gold means nothing. He didn't seem to believe that but I didn't bother to debate with him about it as soon it will be worthless at the end of the world. I was even able to tag both his wife and daughter so I wouldn't have to go searching for them later.
As soon as I returned to my rented house I saw a police woman standing in front of my door as I couldn't pretend to have not seen her I approached. She seemed like a older version Rei but tougher more confident so I instantly figured out why she was here.
Kiriko: What are your attentions towards my daughter?
Her tone was cold without a trace of warmth it was clear she like the idea of a man approaching her high school age daughter. Especially after she incident involving Shido that got husband in trouble and her daughter suffering the consequences as well. Kiriko probably assumed that I was working for or with Shido and was acting cautiously to prevent another incident.
"Are you Rei's mom?"
Kiriko: Answer the question why did you approach my daughter?
"I didn't approach her she came to Yui's home and I was staying over until recently. Now do want to come inside and talk or do want to continue to make a scene outside"
She didn't seem to fully believe me but decided to continue the discussion inside rather than have people listening in on what was said. I offered to get her something to drink but she refused and considering the culture it was rude. I didn't mind though she didn't know who I was or what I was capable of, add to the fact she was a woman in a man's house and a foreigner at that; it was obvious why she would say no.
She asked for more details about my interactions with her daughter and my involvement with Shido. I answered honestly as I didn't see a need to lie and when she heard about how I decided to help the Takagi family she seemed to ease up. Before she left I gave her a rose with thorns made of entirely of gold. She tried to say no that she couldn't excepted flowers from another man I explained that it was entirely made of gold. Kiriko was astonished as it looked so life like even though it was gold but still said no until I insisted and she relented.
