Call me Seijuurou

Chapter 26- A.C.T

The next day, I woke up with pain on my back, probably because I was cleaning the whole house myself and my head felt heavy. My nose is runny and I had a hard time sniffing and blowing my nose. Allergic to dusts.

My phone vibrated. Caller ID; Tsuki. "Yup ?" I answered the call.

"Ryuu-chan! Don't forget tonight's match !" Tsuki said in a loud and cheerful voice.

I coughed. "Uh, okay. I'll be there ." I answered weakly.

"Ryuu-chan? You sick? Your voice sounds different ."

"I don't know but I'll make it. I am forever okay so don't worry !" I convinced her.

"Oh, okay then! Bye !"

"Bye !" I cut off the call and lied down on my bed for like half an hour, staring at the ceiling above me before going to the shower. Since it's an abandoned house, I went out to search for breakfast. Instead of walking, I decided to drive. Well, back in Australia, I had driving lessons twice a week, cause it will be useful when I'm upgraded.

I'm not really good at driving but at least I passed. Daddy left a silver car in front of the house with the key in the kitchen. I took the key, turned on the engine and waited for it to become hot. Eventually, I started driving. Being an impatient person is quite troublesome cause I can't stand slow cars so I drive my car at the speed 125 km/h plus.

Kazuki often scold me for driving recklessly and fast. He said it's dangerous and stuffs. I nodded to his words but did it again the next day. Yup, I'm quite the stubborn one.

I stopped in front of a bakery shop called 'Elerista Bake'. Daddy usually buy breads here so this is not the first time I stepped in the shop. I don't think the baker will recognize me anymore.

Anyway, I bought an egg tart and ate it while driving to A.C.T's base since daddy said he wanted to meet me. He wanted to talk about the payment.

7 years ago, when I became Akashi's bodyguard, daddy promised a huge payment with Akashi's father and that payment can be accomplished if Akashi and I are involved and I wondered why. If it's about money, Akashi's father can pay it already by now so why the big fuss?

I arrived at the building and entered daddy's room. Daddy is there, he looked older and Akashi's father is there too. He was smiling at me. I smiled back and sat in front of them.

"My deepest apologies ," Akashi's father spoke. "My son can't come because of the match he has tonight and he went to train his teammates ."

Daddy smiled. "Well, it's okay and you can tell him later then. He's a brilliant kid I'm sure he would accept. But for my daughter ..." daddy's voice trailed off and his gaze shifted to me.

I raised an eyebrow. "What ?"

They stared at me.

"Why are you calling me here anyway? If you're going to pay, then pay already, you don't need any witness here ." I continued, annoyed.

Daddy cleared his throat and signaled to Akashi's father to tell me. "Well... the truth is... the payment is about ..."

Normal POV

Tsuki sat uncomfortably on the bench and she kept looking around. It was 8pm and the match between the Kiseki no Sedai VS Asteroid. [A/N: This is so random, i mean, i have no idea who versus who...].

"What's wrong Momoi-san ?" a voice made her jump.

"Ah, nothing, Tetsu-kun ." she replied with a smile. Akashi, Murasakibara, Midorima, Aomine, Kuroko and Kise are in front of her now, stretching their muscles, getting ready for the match.
