Hikaru no game

Social Media

Chapter 8.

"I dont know if I should be angry, envious or happy for you Hikaru..."
"Shut it Akari!!!"
"Hey!! Is that the way to speak to your savior?!?!"
"Grrr!!!" Hikaru couldnt fight back.

Indeed Akari saved Hikaru from the disaster that took place 1 month ago.

1 month ago

"It sure was nice to meet you Sai." The coordinator of the event says to Hikaru.
"Yes so do I. Once again thank you for the invitation." Hikaru bowed to the person before him.
"If ever another convention or event is planned, I would really love to invite you as our special guest again."
"Thanks I would be very honored, but Im afraid I cannot make decisions on my own. I would need to ask permission from my companion first."
"Yes I understand but I would also love to invite this companion of yours. Do you think you can maybe ask him to join us sometimes?"
"Im afraid he's not the type to show himself off to others."
"I see. Very well, please do give my regards to him."
"Yes, gladly. Please escuse me, I have to go."
"Ah yes. Once again thank you for what you have done. I hope we meet again someday."

With that Hikaru went out of the backstage and headed straight to the staff exit.

"Finally I can go home." Hikaru stretched his arms and lets out a groan.
"Indeed, I feel sad that it was over so soon, but nonetheless I am very satisfied with the outcome." Sai said, satisfaction was obvious from his tone.
"Yea me too~~"

On the way to the train station.
Hikaru couldnt shake off the feeling that he was being followed

'Hey Sai, do you notice anything weird?'
"What do you mean Hikaru?"
'I mean do you notice anyone behind me?'
"No, there's really too many people here for me to point out if someone is following you Hikaru."
'I guess your right, I must be overthinking things. Jeez I cant wait to get home, eat, take a bath and sleep~'

With that Hikaru continued to walk.

The feeling of being followed grew stronger and made him tensed.

'Sai are you sure there is no one behind me!?!?!'
"Well not really, for a while now, there is that person who is carrying a camera taking pictures of you. Oh also that black vehicle that seems to have someone using a what you would call a binocular."
'SAY SO SOONER!!!!! '
"Huh? Hikaru?"
'Gahhhhh!!! Now going home will be hard. This paparazzi wont back down any while now!!!!'
"Paparazzi?"
'Yes paparazzi Sai. I dont have time to explain you the details, but paparazzis are somewhat similar to stalkers. Right now we need them to lose sight of us.'

Hikaru decides to go to whatever places that came to his mind, hoping they would sooner or later give up, but to his avail they didnt.
His feet started to hurt from the heels he wore.

'I should have brought an extra clothes and shoes!!!'
"Hikaru it seems they have increased."
'Gee Sai, good to know!!' Hikaru spoke in his mind with a sarcasm tone.
Hearing that they increased didnt really made the situation any better.

'I should have anticipated that this would happen..'
"Maybe you can call your friend Akari-chan and have her bring you some change of clothes~"
Thats true, why hadnt he thought of that.
'Good idea, I should probably call her.'

With that he called Akari and explained his current situation to her.
He didnt want Akari to go and force her way into his room like the last time, just to get  answers from him everytime she found him suspicious.
Hikaru doesnt know if Akari was his friend or mother, needless to say it was probably both.
At least Sai and Akari shared something in common on how they would force answers from Hikaru.

A voice belonging to a girl was heard on the phone.

"Ok ok, since they would follow you around everywhere you go. Lets meet up in front of the entrance of the gaming event thats being held in the mall, many people are attending it and most of them will be cosplaying, they'll probably lose sight of you, so Ill bring you a set of casual clothes."
"But Akari, what about the ticket!?! You can only buy them online, heck theyre probably all sold out!!!"
"Dont worry my friends sis is working there, I informed her Ill be attending it with a friend. So dont worry about it and worry more about yourself!!!!"
"Yes yes I understand mom!"
"Oh shut up."
