After 1 hour of socializing in the waiting room...
Damn it, socializing with this tards are so draining. Mizuki said coldly, letting out a sigh.
Well, at least we have gotten to know them a bit! Shiho said enthusiastically.
Thanks for letting me tag along, everyone! Sayaka said calmly Well, do you guys mind if I join your group? Sayaka said warily.
Sure, we'll love that! Hiyori said enthusiastically.
That's right, you seem to be a good person after all! Yushiro said enthusiastically.
Hey, wait up! Mizuki said coldly.
Come on, Mizuki! Let them be for once, besides, they are right after all! She seems like a good person. Shiho said enthusiastically.
Mizuki lets out a sigh of defeat.
The hell with it, you do you. Mizuki said, frustration evident in her face.
I know and I get it, I am suspicious in your eyes right now! But still, thank you for letting me in here. Sayaka said calmly, bowing her head politely.
Raise your head, it's alright welcome to the team. Mizuki said calmly, adjusting her glasses.
Thank you very much! Sayaka said enthusiastically.
"I think it would still be the wisest choice if we have her as our ally than our enemy, though I still need to keep a close eye on her because of her suspicious body languages towards Shiho." Mizuki taught to herself, adjusting her glasses.
In the management monitoring room...
Producer Aoko, have the guard call them inside the house! The Director said enthusiastically.
So, it's finally time to properly start our show? Aoko said coldly.
That's right, it's about the right damn time. The Director said enthusiastically.
I'll call the Guard then. Aoko said calmly.
Right now, I am already curious who will prevail in this game. The Director said coldly.
Has someone already caught your eye? Aoko asks curiously.
Mizuki Nishina and Jang Jae Jung, this two currently has the highest probability of surviving and potentially winning out of all 20 of them. The Director said calmly.
Things will get more heated up between those two once they are already inside the main house for sure. Aoko said coldly.
That's right and it will definitely deliver us some good ratings! And good ratings equalizes with good money! The Director said enthusiastically.
Still the same as ever, I see. Aoko said sarcastically.
The Guard finally picked up the phone call.
Alert the Grandmaster, we'll start the Tomodachi Ie in a minute and go fetch the participants. Make sure to assist them safely throughout your short journey in the main house. Aoko said authoritatively.
Yes, Producer Aoko, right away! The Guard said coldly.
Aoko hanged up the phone call.
Now, all we have to do is wait for their arrival in the main house and start! After that, international ratings and a good amount of money will be ours. The Director said enthusiastically.
Inside the waiting room...
The door suddenly bursts open it's the guard who opened it.
Whoa, you got me shocked, Monsieur! Nicolas said sarcastically.
We're about to get started, get your things ready because we are leaving here and proceed to go to the main house! Prepare yourselves because once we are already there the show will officially start and will immediately be aired live worldwide, now go and fetch your things I'll give you 5 minutes to do so. The Guard said confidently, gently shutting the door.
So, it's about to start now? Shinichiro said coldly.
That's right, two hours seems to past so fast in here. Shiho said anxiously.
Try to calm down, we'll be alright! Hiyori said calmly.
That's right, we should focus on getting our luggages first before the designated time comes. Mizuki said coldly, adjusting her glasses.
Right, this might also be some sort of test for us. Sayaka said calmly.
Let's get moving then! Yushiro said warily.
They all proceed to the luggage area to get their luggages.
You guys aren't settled yet? Mizuki aska expectantly.
Yes, you can go first and we'll just catch up! Hiyori said calmly.
That's right, please go on ahead without us! Sayaka said calmly.
Alright, I'll be waiting for you outside. Mizuki said coldly, adjusting her glasses.
Yes, take care out there! Yushiro said enthusiastically.
Wait up, I'll join you there, I am already done packing up. Shinichiro said coldly.
Alright, let's go then. Mizuki said coldly.
Take care, you two! Shiho said with concern.
Shall we? Shinichiro said coldly.
Yeah, lead the way. Mizuki said calmly.
Shinichiro and Mizuki proceeds to go outside.
Suddenly Mizuki accidentally bumped into Ji-Hye.
I am sorry, that was my bad. Mizuki said calmly, bowing down her head politely.
No, it's alright! It's clearly my fault too, not just yours. Ji-Hye said calmly.
Let me help you pick up your things then. Mizuki said calmly, adjusting her glasses.
I would love that if you do. Ji-Hye said confidently.
They proceed to pick up Ji-Hye's scattered things.
You're Mizuki Nishina, right? Ji-Hye asks expectantly.
Just call me Mizuki. Mizuki said coldly, adjusting her glasses.
In that case, nice to meet you, Mizuki. Ji-Hye said confidentlyJust in case you forgot from the introduction earlier, I am Yoon Ji-Hye, you can call me Ji-Hye. Ji-Hye said enthusiastically.
Please to meet you as well. Mizuki said hesitantly.
Thank you for your help! Ji-Hye said confidently.
Yes, sorry for the sudden disturbance. Mizuki said calmly.
I'll leave the two of you be, alright? Ji-Hye said confidently.
Ji-Hye left the waiting room.
Did you really think that she just randomly appeared right in front of us and say that it was just an "accidental bumping into each other" type of thing? Shinichiro said coldly.
You sensed that too, huh? Mizuki asks curiously.
Of course, I am not blind nor stupid. Shinichiro said coldly.
Well, she is fairly as suspicious as Jae Jung her fellow Korean citizen. Mizuki said coldly At least, I can see that she isn't as much of a bastard like that Jae Jung. Mizuki said sarcastically, letting out a sigh.
Let's keep on moving. Shinichiro said coldly.
Right, let's go! Mizuki said calmly, adjusting her glasses.
The two of them proceeds to go outside of the waiting room as well.
Did you see what happened just now? Yushiro said hesitantly.
Yeah, they pretty much clicked right away. Sayaka said calmly.
Knowing our Mizuki she pretty much suspect Ji-Hye of something! Shiho said enthusiastically.
Why is that? Sayaka asks curiously.
Well, yes that's just who she is! She is pretty cautious and logical, She doesn't let her emotions cloud her judgement right after she sees something suspicious on a person even one simple gesture that means that she will brand them as suspicious until they have finally proved themselves that they aren't. Hiyori said enthusiastically.
Yes, Mizuki is just that type of person but just like Shiho said earlier, Mizuki is a good person inside that cold exterior of her. Yushiro said calmly.
Right! Hiyori said enthusiastically.
Anyways, let's all hurry and catch up to Shinichiro and Mizuki! Shiho said enthusiastically.
Let's go! They all said in unison.
Suddenly Michael approaches the group.
A pleasant morning, Ladies and Gentlemen. Could I borrow a moment? Michael said confidently.
Oh, you are Michael? The Mystery Novelist, right? Sayaka said calmly.
You have an impressive memory, Demoiselle! That's right, I am that person. You can just call me Kael! Michael said confidently.
Our friend is one of your greatest fan, unfortunately, she is outside right now. Hiyori said calmly.
I see, it must have been Ms. Mizuki, right? Michael said confidently.
That's right! Hiyori said enthusiastically.
That's why I came here, anyways! Please give this to her for me, I will also be outside in a minute. Michael said confidently.
Michael gave Hiyori a volume of his book with a sign.
Thank you very much, Kind Sir! Mizuki will definitely jump from joy once she receive this! Shiho said enthusiastically.
No worries! Michael said confidently.
Michael waves goodbye to the group.
He seems to be a good and confident person! Yushiro said enthusiastically.
That's right, but we can't still be so sure, Mizuki is right, in this kind of place we need to stay vigilant! Every acts of kindness might be just a strategy to get us. Sayaka said calmly.
You are right! Shiho said calmly.
You are new, yet you already learned how to speak like Mizuki! Yushiro said sarcastically.
Hey, Yushi! That's not a good thing to say! Shiho said authoritatively.
No, it's alright! Sayaka said calmly Shall we go? Sayaka asks curiously.
Yes! The others said in unison.
Yushiro, Sayaka, Hiyori, and Shiho proceeds to go outside as well.
Outside of the waiting room...
Hey, you there! Guard, Bouncer or whatever the fuck you want to be called! How far are we in the main house exactly? Granger said authoritatively.
Well, isn't she a showman? Shinichiro whispered coldly.
Sh, she might hear you! We won't like to start a fight right now. Mizuki whispered coldly.
If I were you, I will definitely try and fix my manners. The Guard said authoritatively, clearing his throat To answer your question, We are just 20 minutes away from the main house. The Guard said confidently.
Don't friggin lecture me. Granger muttered to herself with a scowl on her face 20 minutes isn't that long, I can handle that. Granger said calmly.
So, she can speak calmly after all? Mizuki whispered sarcastically, adjusting her glasses.
She might hear you, right? Shinichiro said coldly.
Right, sorry out of character. Mizuki said coldly, clearing her throat.
Granger notices Mizuki and Shinichiro looking at her.
Whatcha looking at, huh?! You fucking pussies! Granger said aggressively, with a scowl.
She approaches Mizuki and Shinichiro.
Shinichiro then steps forward of Mizuki.
Wow, you think you can handle me skinny kid? Granger said sarcastically, aggressively grabbing Shinichiro in his collar Let's see what you've got then, Pussy! Granger said arrogantly, letting out a mocking laugh.
Get your filthy hands off me, Bitch. Shinichiro said coldly.
Still as blunt as ever, huh? Mizuki said coldly, adjusting her glasses.
You wanna say that again, huh?! Granger said coldly.
Granger raises her hand to hit Shinichiro.
Then suddenly, a hand stopped Granger from hitting Shinichiro.
Oh, you are one of the fucker from Korea right? Granger said sarcastically.
If you would be so kind to knock it off. Hye jin said coldly.
You are Jang Hye Jin, right? Mizuki asks expectantly.
That's right, I am Jang Hye Jin. Hye Jin said coldly.
What can you even do, you little bitch? Granger said mockingly.
I am a taekwondo artist since childhood, black belter to be exact. Hye Jin said confidently.
So what? You think you can scare me? Granger said coldly.
Well, according to our Guard here it is said that violence among the participants are strictly prohibited unless it was needed for a task. Jae Jung said confidently Right, Mr. Guard? Jae Jung asks expectantly.
That's right, so I would like to ask you to release Participant No. 8, you as well Participant No. 11 you should release Participant No. 3 as well! The Guard said authoritatively.
Whatever! Granger releases her grip on Shinichiro and distance herself from them.
Thank you for what you did for my friend, that was not necessary because I know that the guard will eventually jump in any moment now. Mizuki said coldly, adjusting her glasses.
Yes, you have my thanks as well. Shinichiro said coldly.
It was nothing, just avoid provoking her again. Hye Jin said calmly, waving goodbye to them with a smile.
You, what the hell do you want again? Mizuki asks expectantly.
Well, I saved you and your friends' ass, is that how you repay your savior? Jae Jung said sarcastically.
Stop fucking around me! Mizuki said coldly, adjusting her glasses.
Well, didn't I say that I will make sure that you will stay longer until I have seen enough of your sufferings? This is also a part of it, because I don't want anyone else touching my prey. Jae Jung whispered arrogantly.
Jae Jung then left her alone.
"Damn it, how could this be? Who the hell really is that Bastard? In what point of my past have I really met him?" Mizuki taught to herself, adjusting her glasses.
