Be Our Guest

It was Narumi's turn to go flat-hunting. She sat on a bench, distressed and depressed at the little success of the operation, and sighed, clueless about what to do. It wouldn't have been this difficult if the girls had come with her, but Bonny had said she needed to study and Mary was... What was she even doing? She couldn't complain, though, since the other two girls had already gone on their own. At that moment, a notification from the play store informed her that a new app that matched her tastes had been found. Her face lit up at the perspective of being able to do the deed to Shingen once more at another universe, and touched the screen of her phone to access to the play store after going to Mc Donald's to steal their Wi-Fi.

She frowned when she saw the title of the app. Mystic Messenger? What the hell was that? Well, whatever, she was on a bad mood and probably she will have to bear Bonny's singing 'I DON'T WANT MY FREEEEEDOM' and her and Mary's loud groans of desperation when she got back home and told them she hadn't found an apartment yet, so she had actually nothing to lose. She opened the app when it finished downloading and registered, but instead of hearing one of the characters shouting mercilessly the name of the company which had released the game, her screen went black and a messenger appeared.

Unknown: ...Hello...?

She frowned. Who was that?

Narumi: ?

Unknown: Can you see this?

Narumi: Who are you?

Unknown: I'm sure you're surprised.

It's not everyday you get a text from a stranger.

Narumi let them continue talking and went to the app she had to send to her friends a screenshot of the conversation.

Bonny: Wow, that's creepy

Mary: LOLOLOLOLOLOL

The stranger, who was now confirmed to be a guy, kept on talking about some phone he had found. Narumi bit her lower lip. She wanted to help, but she feared the stranger could be a weirdo and try to attack her or something. She expressed her fears to the girls and they told her she should help him and agreed that she should send the address to them too and go together.

Narumi started making her way there and arrived to the address before her friends. Reluctantly, she entered the house, informing the girls the whole time of where she was and what she was doing.

Narumi: it's an empty apartment

I'm going to leave the door open just in case

Bonny: ok, we'll be there in a minute

At that moment, the app led her to a strange chat room full of people. She startled, surprised at the sudden storm of notifications, and started to read the messages. Five people were talking about things she couldn't quite figure out; apparently they knew each other already. She bit her lower lip, hoping they wouldn't notice her until Bonny and Mary arrived to make them do all the unnecessary talk, but they were delaying quite a lot.

She sent them a message asking them to hurry up, but at that moment the people in the other chat room noticed her and started to ask her to talk and... reveal herself? It all was pretty awkward. According to them, she shouldn't be able to download the app she was using, but all of a sudden they were sending her pictures and introducing themselves. She chuckled. They didn't look as bad people, actually. Then, one of them sent the picture of a silver-haired boy. He's kind of cute... Narumi thought, smiling to herself.

Moments later, all her thoughts were clouded by the most beautiful being in this world.

"A caaaaaaaaaat!!" she exclaimed. "One of them's got a caaaaaaaaaat!! Oh, and the owner is handsome too... Caaaaaaaaaat!!!!!"
