Chapter 38

(Episode 927 - 928)

"We finally arrived." Shiori stretched her legs and went out of the car to the Gion Hotel with Asahi-chan on her arms, the poor child fell asleep in the car. "I'm going to head inside and wait for you." She said to Subaru, who is on the driver's seat.

"Sure, you head upstairs while I park."

"No, I'll just wait for you in the lobby." Shiori said.

The two adults would switch every three hours to drive while the kids were sleeping while Ichiro was still staring at Shiori's Ipad where there are downloaded pictures of karuta cards. The two knew he has a match next week and he has to train hard.  

Shiori already booked two rooms in the 16th floor of the hotel. One is for them, while the other is for Shinichi and Heiji. They were already staying there with the permission of Shinichi's teachers. With their strategy, maybe he'll get caught while he's sharing a room with his schoolmate. 

While waiting for Subaru, she also took the key from the receptionist and sat on a couch with Asahi leaning on her chest while sleeping. They're taking a long time, Shiori thought while patting Asahi's back to lull him to deeper sleep. 

A flushed man carrying his jacket with his necktie loose entered, obviously drunk. Shiori just looked away and held the boy closer.

As if she was a female lead in a book, danger always comes to find her. The drunk man stopped in front of her, "Hey, how much are you?"

Shiori looked away and just ignored him. Mean fucker, I hope you get out of here before Subaru comes here. Do I look like a hooker?  She is wearing jean shorts and a loose polo shirt that shows her collarbone and bra strap. God, I have a child in my arms. 

"Hey missy, you look familiar. Did I hire you before?" 

The woman just cleared her throat and glared at the woman behind the counter, who just noticed her surroundings. The receptionist immediately contacts the guard on the phone.

"Please stay away from me." Shiori said with a tone, taking a step backward while protectively carrying Asahi. 

"Come on, don't be shy." He said, while taking steps towards her, he gripped her wrist tight. Shiori wanted to take it off by force, but she's afraid Asahi might get hurt.

"Take your hand-"

The receptionist saw the brewing fight and went to them, but a hand suddenly gripped the drunk man's right shoulder, he turned around to see Subaru, suppressing his anger, with a sleeping Akari in his arms. 

"I suggest you to take your hand off of her."

"Subaru." Shiori breathed out and ran to him while the drunk man is distracted.

"Mommy, are you alright?" Ichiro looked surprised, pulling the pink luggage where Shiori put all of their belongings. He stood beside Shiori and glanced at the twin's in their arms, still deep in sleep.
