PROTO Chapter 1 "Minami! Breakfast is ready!"
"Coming!"
I run downstairs as I heard my mom's voice. I can smell her home-made cooking that is grabbing my whole body to the kitchen to eat breakfast. This day is really starting so well.I can see the sun shining so brightly that uplift my spirit and made me smile. As I go down the stairs, I greet my mom with a smile saying "Good Morning!"
She suddenly smiled and said, "What's up with you today? Waking up early and greeting me happily?" My mom said while smiling as she puts the plates on the kitchen table.
"I don't know really! But I think this is the best day of my life!" I said as I sit on my chair.
"Well I hope this mood of yours is forever since it won’t be any bother on waking you up on your bed." My mom said with a bit of laughter.
"Mou! Mom!"
My mom and I enjoyed breakfast together and have some laughs and giggles. This day is really going so well for the both of us. My mom and I are the only ones that are living in our family.
Actually I have a very sad family background. I had a sibling but then she died and my father left my mother because he blamed her for the death of my sibling. I was only 6 years old at that time so I can't really understand what was happening. Honestly on the day, my sibling's coffin was buried through the ground.
I was asking my mom so loudly, "Mom why are they doing this to Nao? I thought she was only sleeping!" I said as I grabbed my mom's darkish dress.
As I asked my mom with my question she kneeled in front of me and hugged me so tightly. She cried and cried and cried on my shoulder although I didn't understand why she was crying but I also cried not because of Nao's death but because I can't understand the situation that was happening and worst of all, I can see Nao's coffin being buried.
After that year by year, my attitude changed, from the Takahashi Minami that was cheerful, active and easy to approach, became a dark person that isn't approachable (amicable) and doesn't give a care to anyone at all.
Many of my classmates are afraid to be friends with me and when there is a group project, I always have a 70% grade since I don't attend to it or even if I wanted to, my classmates doesn't want me to join their group. As my elementary and middle school life was over, I tried to change my attitude for the sake of my mom and it did turn out great but somehow seeing people smiling breaks my heart...I don't really know why but by seeing someone smile, I can see ...Nao.
"Minami? Are you alright?"
"Eh?"
I was shocked at my mom waving in front of me. I have been spacing out which I often do when we are eating breakfast.
"Are you thinking about Nao?" My mom asked as she looks at me with a worried face.
"Y...Yeah." I said with a low tone of voice. I suddenly felt that I lost my appetite on eating after thinking about Nao.
My Mom just smiled at me and said, "If you don't want to eat anymore it's okay, you don't have to force yourself!" My Mom is so nice. I am really grateful to God because he gave me a really nice mom that can be with me when I get lonely.
"Let's just watch the news on t.v. okay?" My mom said as she grabs the remote near the small table on the dining room.
As the television was turned on the reporter talks about the weather and the current events that is happening to Japan and to some countries too but what really grabbed to my attention is the next segment of the news, this is what the reporter is saying,
"
Ohayou Everyone! Are you all enjoying your breakfast? Or are you not eating right now? ahahaha! Just kidding!" The host said while scratching his head after he said his lame failing joke.
"Anyway, here is the
Gaming Corner! On this segment, we are going to talk about the current events about what is happening in the gaming industry!" The host said with a smile as he introduces the segment.
"Just get on with it..." I said as I watch the segment boringly.
"First up is the "PROTO" gadget! It is a new creation developed by a famous gaming genius, the great “Akimoto Yasushi!" The gadget cannot be shown to any news or anything that involves picture and stuff according to Akimoto Yasushi himself because once you do you will be in prison! What he only approved is the explanation of the looks of the gadget! So, by the looks of the gadget, it is really plain and it really looks like a headset but with a blue transparent glass! Although you would really think twice if you are really going to buy this item for ¥25,000, but gamers were really intrigued after they hear Akimoto Yasushi's words!" The host said with his eyes sparkling with passion which I clearly see that he really loves his job.
Suddenly the news shows a short video footage of the Akimoto Yasushi guy being interviewed by a certain reporter asking him on why should the gamers buy his product and all he said is,
"The gamers are not the one who is waiting for the game, it is the game that is waiting for the gamers."
My eyes suddenly widen as I hear his words, it made me think of what he actually meant but as I try harder, the more I can't really understand but his words really touched my heart I really never played any game before nor touched a game console! But his words sure are amazing, so that's the reason why the host introduced him as the
"Great Akimoto Yasushi" After that the host said that the "PROTO" gadget received many pre-orders online and because of that the pre-orders can only be accepted up to 2,000 orders because of the enormous amount of it. While the releasing date for tomorrow, only 6,000 copies are going to be released and sold to Japan and the host added that once you activate the gadget there is a game in it although no one knows what kind of game is it, even the production company doesn't even know it, the only one that knows it is Akimoto Yasushi himself.
After the segment was finished my mom suddenly spoke and said,
"You wanted to buy that huh?" She said with a teasing smile.
"E-eh? Hrmmmm....Y...yeah...but I don't have any money so it's impossib--"
"Then I'll buy you one!" My mom said with a bright smile.
"EEEEEEEHHHHHHH?!!!!! Are you really sure?! I mean that is ¥25,000 Mom! ¥25,000!!!! Isn't it too much???" I said as I stand up in front of her with a really shocked face.
"It's really okay!"
"But.....don't you think I am bothering you too much?" I said with a depressing tone of voice.
"Minami, when is the time I said that you are a bother to me?" My mom said as she crossed her arms in front of me
"It's when......uhm........hrmmm.....when uhmm.............okay, you’ve never said that that I’m a bother..." I said with a sigh.
"See? So just take this money and buy it for tomorrow!" My mom said as she grabs my hand and puts the stack of ¥25,000 to my palms.
"Already?!...*counts the money*....But this is ¥30,000! You should take the extra ¥5,000 mom!" I said as I reached for her hand.
"Don't worry it's yours! Use it for your allowance at school!" My mom said as she leaves the dining room.
"But Mom!"
"Minami...." *glares.
"Okay....."
Well I have no other choice but to buy the "PROTO" gadget. Hopefully I CAN buy it because I am really sure that this thing would be sold out the next morning I wake up.
I forgot to mention that the "Takahashi Family" is a wealthy family. Outside of our house is an enormous garden and if you look at the far end, there is a river close to it and yes it is also owned by our family but on my point of view I just wanted to have a really simple life that is not being served by butlers and that's why my mom fired all of our 50 butlers and just served me with all her love.
The employees that we only have in this mansion is Yurika-san, our one and only maid, Mr.Kurosaki, our gardener and Mr. John Voclain, our driver and head butler. I also treat them as my own family since they are all really nice.
I went outside the mansion and just sat by the stairs and sniff the clean, soft breeze of air. Mr.John suddenly noticed me while he was helping Mr. Kurosaki watering the flowers and plants. I waved my arms and smiled to the two gentlemen and they waved back to me as well. I suddenly look at my wristwatch which alarmed me since it is already 8:30 a.m.!
"Shoot! I will be late for the last day of summer school!" I said as I head upstairs and wore my civilian clothes and ride on my bike as I head to my school. Suddenly, Mr. John called me and said,
"Mistress! I should send you to your school since it is really far away!" he said with a worried face.
"No Mr.John, it's okay! I still have 2 hours before class starts!
"Minami why won’t you go and let Mr. John escort you to school?" A voice suddenly appeared on Mr. John's back. It was my grandfather, the owner of the land I am standing at.
As Mr. John saw grandpa, he quickly bowed and greeted him a pleasant morning which my grandpa did the same.
I ride on the limousine that Mr. John is going to drive and left our residence. On our way to school Mr. John suddenly spoke and said,
"Mistress, why don't you want me to ride you on your way to school?"
"Uhhmm....I don't want to be a bother," I said quietly as I look at the window of the limousine.
"Mistress, you know you are not a bother to me and besides being like this is a butler's job, so please tell me the truth, Mistress."
I left a sigh and just told the truth to Mr. John. He smiled as I said that I just want to be a normal person that everyone can approach too and also I wanted to feel on what is the feeling of being a normal student. After that Mr. John suddenly giggled a bit and said to me,
"Mistress being normal isn't about blending through the atmosphere, it is about being you.
You don't have to force yourself to a thing that you are really not. Being a normal person comes with your heart and with your soul. It is in you when you were born in this world. You are the one that controls it, don't you agree, Mistress?" Mr. John said with a smile.
I suddenly smiled through Mr. John's words and agreed to his short opinion to a "normal person". Many minutes later, we are near my school but then Mr.John stopped the limousine and went outside to grab something. As soon as he got what he wanted on the back seat he suddenly knocked on my window and when I opened the door I saw my bike and Mr. John said with a smile,
"School is way up ahead Mistress! you can now use your bike!"
I smiled and thank Mr. John for understanding me. After that, I ride my bike and said goodbye to Mr. John but before I forget, I gave him a order about buying me the "PROTO" gadget for tomorrow and he agreed on it so I gave him the ¥25,000 money to buy it for tomorrow. I headed to school using my bike.
I suddenly felt an excited feeling on what I could expect through that gadget named "PROTO" but suddenly as I think some thoughts inside my head another bicycle knocked over me, causing me to fall with my bike. My flesh on my knees started to bleed and the wheel of my bike suddenly broke and as I hold my head I suddenly felt that my knees swelling and my head suddenly aches in pain. My vision started to get blurry. And I can’t see clearly who had knocked my bike, but that person is somewhat approaching me. As the unknown person draws nearer and nearer, my vision suddenly turned black.
And I thought this IS my best day ever.
