Hypnosis Microphone: Blue Division~Bayside Story~

III/ Interest

A year ago

As soon as 17 years old Setsuna done preparing the dinner, she took off the apron, throw it on the chair before twirl towards her older brother's room.

"Nii-chan!" she knocks on the door's room with 'Chiaki' sign hanging on it. "It's dinner time" she called him out. However, there is no answer from behind the door. She tilted her head, "Did he's sleeping?" without thinking much, she opens the door, slowly peek into the room.

It's dark, but there is a source of light from the table. She opens the door wider and saw young man is laying on the bed, sleeping. Meanwhile, his laptop's screen still lights up on his table.

Setsuna pouts, "He went sleep and let his laptop on? Wasting energy again," complaints her, however, she has no audience to hear her grumbles. She switches on the room's lamp and moves to the table.

"My, look at this messy table," complaints her again, the table is a mess with a lot of things, papers, CDs and eraser duster. When she about to turn off the laptop, her eyes stuck to the screen. It's just a list of songs that shown on the screen, but it's drawn her attention. Most of the song are foreigner's singers although, part of them are Japanese. But they shared a same similarly; all of them produce or sings a hip-hop or raps songs.

Then, she realized her brother's table is messed by the CDs and stuff related to rap and hip-hop.

Chiaki awake from his sleep as he saw his sister stand in front of his laptop. Once his brain finally processes what happened, he jumps from his bed and rushes to his sister.

"S-SETSUNA?!" Chiaki rush to his table, slam off his laptop and try to cover everything from his sister, although, he is obviously failed since she had seen them. "D-Don't touch my stuff"

"Oh, sorry" apologized Setsuna.

"Anyway, isn't I told you to knock the door before enter my room?!!"

"I did, but you didn't answer me, so I enter," reply Setsuna, casually.

"E-even so, don't enter as you wish," pouts Chiaki, while shoving everything from the sight. Setsuna just watches Chiaki's weird attitude.

"Hey, Nii-chan, can I asked you something?" Setsuna sad voices heard clear in Chiaki's eardrum.

"Y-yeah, sure, what is that?" Chiaki smiles, but deep in his heart, god only knows.

"Did you hiding something from me?" Setsuna looks into Chiaki's eyes. He drops silently before sighs deeply.

"Seems you finally found out," Setsuna frowns. "Yes, I do hide something from you..."

"What is that?" asked Setsuna.

"....actually..."

"I work part-time in the club, as a DJ..." Setsuna speechless. "That is why, you see....this all hip-hop and raps songs?" add him, while pointing at his CDs and stuff on the table.

"Sorry for didn't tell you" apologized him, avoid from looking into his sister's eyes.

Setsuna blinks, "Do you love hip-hop?" asked her.

"Yeah," reply Chiaki, with a small voice.

"Since when?" asked Setsuna, again.

"Pretty much,...in a few weeks, a month, maybe?" he tilted his head while right-hand scratches his head, try to remember. Slowly, Setsuna smiles.

"What the hell? I really thought you involved in something dangerous" Setsuna sighs in reliefs.

"E-eh?" blinks Chiaki.

"I thought you might involve in hypnosis mic, but, hahaha...I guess I'm wrong" confess Setsuna.

"Huh???" puzzled Chiaki.

"I know, I'm sorry!" apologized Setsuna. "When thinking back, someone who doing hypmic isn't really needed to listen to hip-hop or raps, right?"

"W-well, if you get it, good then," replied Chiaki. Setsuna approach Chiaki and smiles, "Good luck on that job!"

Chiaki dumbfounded, then smiles, "Yeah, thanks"

"Oh right! I've prepared our dinner! Let's dig in" Setsuna walk out from her 23 years old brother's room.

"Okay, you go first. I'll clean up my room a bit" said Chiaki. Setsuna responded him okay and disappeared.

Chiaki sighs, his gazed drawn to the CDs in front of him.

"Sorry"

Weeks later

"Setsuna, hurry up, you going to late for school" called Chiaki from the kitchen, preparing the breakfast for his sister and himself. "Yessss" Setsuna run to the kitchen in her sailor school uniform.

Chiaki sigh, "Wake up late again? Did you stay overnight?" nags Chiaki. Setsuna grin awkwardly, take sit at the chair.

"I thought so"

"Oh, right, nii-chan" she rummages her uniform's pocket and takes out a thumb drive. "Here!"

"What's this?" as Chiaki, taking off his apron, looking at the thumb drive that Setsuna put on the table.

"A present!" Chiaki frowns, "My birthday had passed long ago," comment him.

"Mou! The present not only given during the birthday, you know?" Well, that's true.

"Is there any 'Brother's Day'?" Chiaki rubs his chin, wondering.

"IT'S NOT!!"

"Inside this thumb drive, contains songs!"

"S-song?"

"Yep! Last time, you said you are working part-time as a DJ in the club, right? Here, I did the remix and made some songs" said Setsuna. Chiaki dumbfounded.

"You know how to write songs?" confuse Chiaki.

"I do!! I'm in the music club in school, did you forgot?!"

"Oh, right, I just remember," Chiaki took the thumb drive and look at Setsuna. "Thanks, I'll treasure this"

Setsuna smiles, "I'm glad..." Chiaki realized the changes in Setsuna's tones.

"Since our parents passed away, you don't seem to have any passion to anything, all you did is work..."

"So, when you're saying, you interested with hip hop...I'm so happy"

Chiaki speechless, Setsuna was right...he does not interest in anything, everything seems dull, tasteless and not attractive in his senses.

"Ah!! I'm going to be late!" Setsuna grabs her breakfast and bento, the rush to the front door to wears her shoes, Chiaki follow her to watch she leave.

"Too bad that I can't listen to the songs in the club," said Setsuna disappointed in her tones. Since she is minor, she cannot enter the club in first place. Chiaki chuckles.

"Next time, we'll have a party at home" suggest him.

"No! We can't! We might disturb the neighbour!" Chiaki just recalled they are lives in the cheap apartment. "Oh, you're right" The wall is too thin, even sometimes, he be able to hear his neighbourhood doing some private business. Well, you know what he meant.

"I'm going!" excuse Setsuna.

"Take care of yourself" Chiaki smiles at his little sister as she close the door.

After she gone, he went to his room, open his laptop and moved all the songs from the thumb drive into the memory card. He disconnected both the thumb drive and the memory card from his laptop.

"I'm sorry" he took out his green amulet from his pocket, which the amulet also was given by his sister during the new year a few years ago. He took the memory card and put into the amulet and kiss it.

"I can't use you, but please protect me"
