(Kirasaya) (Meariri) New Friends

Bonding (Part One)

*in this context, japanese yen is the strongest currency*

"Now, that you can finally get out of bed, we should do more activities together," Mary suggested.

"Ahem," Kirari said. "I'm still here. And there's no way I'm letting the two of you spend time alone together again after----"

Kirari's eyes widened in surprise as she received a kiss on the cheek from Sayaka.

"Consider it done," she corrected herself, grinning as she reciprocated Sayaka's gesture of affection.

"I recommend that we stay here for now," Sachiko said thoughtfully. "Outside is too dangerous."

A moment of silence ensued as everyone else stared at her.

"HEY! Who even said that you were a part of the bonding?!" Mary said as she pointed and accusatory finger at Sachiko. "How did you even get in here again?!"

"Hey! Don't forget I'm Sayaka's older sister! Where she goes, I go."

Kirari smirked. "Well, in that case, we're going to be playing board games. And watch movies."

"No shopping?!" Sachiko gawked.

"You can shop with ME!" Lady Seina exclaimed as she came into the room and dragged Sachiko out. "Don't worry, I'll entertain my big baby while you guys bond together, see you!" She blew a kiss before squealing loudly in excitement and closing the door.

"Well, now that that's settled, let us begin," Kirari said.

The quartet sat in a circle on a large circular pink rug in the 'Leisure Room' of the estate. Sayaka sat beside Kirari while hugging her giraffe and panda soft toy in her arms. Kirari sipped casually from an exquisite tea cup, the smell of Silver Moon Tea filling the air.

Ririka ate cookies from a 3-tier luxury pastry stand while wearing wooly wooly socks the same colour as her eyes.

Mary sat on a pink Mandel bean bag, grumbling about 'rich kids" when she found out that it costed ¥219.

The room had a pink and brown theme, which made Mary wonder if it belonged to a child last time.

Ririka seemed to read her thoughts. "This room was built when Sayaka moved in. Kirari wanted her to have a place to go to when she needed to relax. And Sayaka likes pink, hence the theme of the room."

"What, can you read my mind or something?" Mary huffed. "This room isn't that bad, I guess."

"Perfect," Kirari replied. "Now, let us start by playing Uno. I assume everyone knows how to play?"

Mary was the only one who raised her hand. She stared at Sayaka in shock. Sure, she wasn't that surprised that the twins didn't know how to play. They probably played more exclusive games when younger, being "rich" and all, but Sayaka?!

Then again, Sayaka's Clan was also extremely affluent, but they stayed under the radar for centuries because of their ability to produce magic, which produced a target on their backs.

Kirari clapped her hands together. "Excellent! It seems like none of us know how to play! Except Mary, of course."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Mary said, growing increasingly vexed.

"Nothing. Moving on, I will explain the rules," Kirari continued as she fished out the instruction manual.

"This should be quite fast, Kirari processes things at lightning speed," Ririka whispered.
