Chapter 10

Mrs. Tsurugi sat at dinner time along with her husband and vice verse to her sat the mother of the groom and beside the woman a raven-haired Japanese and a much younger man eating ramen from their bowl. 
"I beg your pardon for my daughter's absence again Mrs. Miyamoto" Mr. Tsurugi apologized gazing at the woman. "Kagami is on her way to us, but it's taking longer cause she couldn't find an alternate flight on the previous airports and has to look for one at Vladivostok, "
"You're forgiven. Circumstances like this may happen and that's something we can't stop" Mrs. Miyamoto told.
"It's a little extreme for her to travel across Russia all by herself," The older Mr. Miyamoto said earning a nod from his wife and the son.
"I hope she's doing fine. During travels you encounter the strangest people nowadays, sometimes it gets me anxious about it, "The young man explained.
"What makes me a little relieved about the trip is that she wasn't the only one in this chaos, also an old friend of hers, which was also on his way to Tokyo. He's accompanying her so that both would get here without any problems' Mrs. Tsurugi mentioned, making the younger Miyamoto raise his eyebrows.
"Who is that guy?"
"Why does that matter to you, Hiroki?" The mother interrogated the man.
"Just out of curiosity" Hiroki added and looked at Mrs. Tsurugi. "If this question isn't wished, I'll have to..."
"He's just an old childhood friend of hers from Paris. They used to go to fencing together and she was along with him the best combatants"
"I think Kagami told me about him, wasn't his name Adrien or something similar?"
"Oh did she talk to you about him?"
"Yeah quite an amount of time, but that was like a year after we met and then she didn't tell me anything more and I thought something had happened, but I didn't want to bother her with it"
"They had a very good liaison with each other, I don't think there would be a problem between the two, " Mrs. Tsurugi mentioned making Hiroki nod.
"I think Adrien was a very special person in her life" Hiroki confirmed, then shrieked as his mother placed her over his shoulder.
"Just forget about him, you're engaged to her and nothing is going to get you two away from each other"
"Yeah...."
"Adrien Agreste is just a guest at the wedding, but if there's a problem with that we can talk about it" Mr. Tsurugi suggested earning a no from Hiroki.
"No there's no problem and if she would like him to be present he can be there. For me, it doesn't matter" The young raven-haired man added.
"Sure as long as he won't be a problem" Mrs. Miyamoto said seeing Tomoe Tsurugi nod.
"Don't concern about him. He's history for her" Tomoe mentioned proceeding with the meal, followed by the others and Hiroki felt a little unsure about Tomoe's words, afterward he continued to eat to avoid the visitors to ask any questions.

Nino and Alya sat together at a cat coffee waiting for their order and Nino patted an orange tabby, that lied on his lap.
"So you don't only get here coffee, but you also get the chance to pet a random cat in order to release the stress of work or something?" Nino asked earning a nod from Alya.
"There over 100 cat coffee shops in Japan and for many people it's and tourists, it's a joy to be able to pet them and cuddle, when the cat allows it"
"This one totally likes me, listen to him purring," Nino asked Alya which leaned closer to his lap to listen to the cat's noise.
"Aww yeah, he's a nice guy, giving you so much love, right?" Alya asked patting the cat too, holding her hand closer to Nino's, who started to feel a little abashed at how close the woman got to him.
"D...do you have any pets at home?" Nino questioned the woman, which nodded.
"Back in France I and my sister Nora have Labrador mixed breed. Nora is most of the time out with her running and keeping herself fit with her. She's belongs more to Nora than me, but I still like her. She's like a best friend to me, she's always there when I feel sad"
"Yeah dogs are great family members. A uncle of mine owned one for nearly 14 years and he said as he died it was for him as he lost his own child."
"Yeah it's true" Alya agreed, then saw the waitress appear with their order and she sat back to let the waitress pass and place the coffee for the two in front of them.
"Thank you," Both said taking their cup.
"How many days is Adrien away to arrive Vlasdivostok?" Alya asked looking at Nino.
"One day and a couple of hours now." The Moroccan answered. "He would call me, when he arrives Vladivostok or knows when he's able to come to Tokyo"
"That's great, maybe although this wasnt planned he could enjoy the sight he had during the train ride" The journalist noted.
"Just during cities and some landscapes. Otherwise he wasn't really excited about it."
"Well they sat almost an entire week in a train, at least you get to see the greater things as you get in a 12 hour flight"
"Yeah, that's true" Nino agreed taking a sip from his coffee, then widened his eyes as the tabby caressed the man with his back passing the tail under his chin tickling him, making Alya giggle.
"Sweet" Nino grinned embarrassedly as the feline ribbed himself under the tan-skinned man's face and jumped down at the floor walking off.
"Any plans for tonight or are you going to work?" The Morrocan asked as the woman drank a little bit of her coffee.
"Work until late" Responded Alya. "Jordan and I still need to finish our research before we're done"
"Nice"
"Eventually the other day we could hang out again if you're interested"
"You really want to?" Ninno asked astounded at the woman her question.
"If you're interested of course, "
"I don't think there's a problem" Nino responded making Alya smile.
"Then that's a deal" The Martinic descendant woman responded taking her cup up to drink, followed by Nino which smiled at the joy of her company.
