*Chirp* *Chirp*

Sounds of morning birds chirping rang out. As the surroundings is still a bit dark.

*RIIIIIIIIIIIINGGGG*

Mm...

A hand slowly tries to reach out to turn off the alarm.

But soon, the alarm is turned off.

" Kuro, it's already morning. "

" ..? Mm... 5 more minutes... "

Kuro replies as he then felt someone shaking him.

Sighing, he opened his eyes slowly.

At first, blur was the first thing he sees. But soon, he could clearly see a figure.

" Hey... mom. "

Kuro said with a small smile, as his mother smiles back.

" Now get up, you need to go to school. "

His mother said as Kuro chuckles.

" Anyway... how did you wake up this fast..? "

Kuro asked, genuinely confused and surprised at this.

Kuro's mother giggles, as she rubs her chin with her finger.

" Hm... I don't know! "

His mother said with a smile, as Kuro chuckles.

" Mom, you are like a child you know? "

Kuro said as his mother giggles once more, and Kuro to chuckle.

Kuro, got off his bed as he stretched his body.

Ever since yesterday, when he talks out everything with his mom. And, he promised not to be selfless for his own family.

Kuro's mother got out of his room, but not before saying something.

" I'm going to prepare some breakfast for us, so you can rest for now okay? "

Kuro's mother said as Kuro, tries to object it.

But before he could spew out a word...

Kuro's mother glare at him, as he stiffened a bit.

" Didn't you promised not to be selfless yesterday~? "

Kuro's mother said with a dangerous aura lingering on top of her. As Kuro gulped his saliva and nodded hesitantly.

" Good. A family should do their own respective jobs! And they should share their jobs to each other! "

Kuro's mother scolded Kuro as Kuro nodded slowly.

" Good! "

Kuro's mother said as she walks away, and Kuro, sighed.

" Well... least she changed... "

Kuro said with a small smile, as he sighed and heads out of his room.

Now that he think of it, his body hadn't even relax one bit.

He cracked his neck as he sighed.

Kuro, walks to the bathroom, as he took a bath.

-----

After Kuro finished taking a bath, and changing to his school uniform. He walks to the dinner room, as he noticed that his mom is...

Is she just seating there?

Kuro's mother, noticed Kuro, as she chuckles sheepishly.

Kuro, walks up to her.

" Um... mom, why is there no..? "

" E-Eh... I... "

Kuro's mother then snapped her head down.

" I forgot we didn't have any ingredients to cook for! "

Kuro's mother said, as she looked at Kuro.

" The last ingredients was already used for last night's dinner! "

Kuro's mother said sadly, as Kuro sighed.

" Well, it's okay... it's on my fault that I forgot to buy some ingredients on the way home. "

Kuro said as he scratch the back of his head, as his mother giggles.

" Well, for today, I will be buying ingredients okay? You could rest for the day. "

Kuro's mother said.

" But you don't need to, I mean I could buy some ingredients on way back home first, then- "

Kuro said, but soon, his mother glares at him again.

" Ku—uro... "

His mother said with a threatening smiles that says " I dare you to continue that, I dare you. "

... To which Kuro dares.

" Then I'll head to my part-time job. "

*BONK*

" Ite! "

Kuro exclaimed in shock as he felt pain on his head.

" So your promise is just going to be broken a day after you made it? "

His mother asked, menacingly.

ゴゴゴゴゴゴゴ

...

*Sigh*

" Alright alright... I'll leave dinner up to you... "

Kuro said as he sighed, but he looks at her mom again.

" But, don't you forget about it, okay? "

Kuro told his mother, well, more of ordered his mother.

His mother smiled as she nodded.

Kuro, smiled as he head away.

" Itekimasu. Okaa-san. "

Kuro said to his mother, as his mother smiles and waved at him.

" Itterasshai! "

She said as Kuro looked at his father, who's sleeping on the coach.

" Itekimasu... Otō-san. "

Kuro said as no respond was heard, which made him to sigh.

" ... Itterasshai... "

As Kuro heard a familiar voice, his lips curves upwards a bit.

Kuro, head outside of his house with a small smile...

" Ah! Kuro-kun! "

And another familiar voice is heard by Kuro. As he looked to his left over his shoulder, as he smiles.

" Hey... Fubuki. "

Kuro said as he saw Fubuki smiling, as she waved at him. Then, she walks up to him.

" Kon-kon-dayo! "

...

" ... What? "

Kuro asked, genuinely confused.

As Fubuki, crouched down and shoved her palm to her face, covering her face.

...

Kuro gained a chuckle, as he looked at her crouching figure.

" Oi, you just straight up said ' Kon-kon-dayo! ' and you're now crouching on the ground. Just because I said ' What? ' "

Kuro said, impersonating Fubuki's line with a somewhat monotone voice.

Fubuki curls up to a ball eventually.

" And now you've just dirt yourself, great job Ms. Smarty. "

Kuro said as he clapped his hands, impressed.

Soon, Fubuki decided to show her head a bit. And Kuro could see her pouting.

" Hey! "

Fubuki said pouting, as Kuro chuckled once more. Soon Fubuki stood up and began punching Kuro's chest playfully.

A/n : " Ehem, anime cliches... Ehem, thank to a certain someone's idea. "

Kuro didn't feel any pain, so he just watches her, as she punched his chest playfully with a small blush.

Kuro, sighed as soon, Fubuki stops.

" ... You done? "

Kuro asked... a bit awkwardly, as Fubuki nodded.

" So... head to school..? "

Fubuki nodded.

" P-Please... forget about what happened before... "

Fubuki said embarrassedly, as Kuro nodded a few...

...

" What was that ' Kon-kon-dayo ' for- "

" KURO!!! "

Timeskip brought to you by Kuro running away with a stoic face. With a bead of sweat running down on his face. As Fubuki throws her backpack with an >⊂⊃< face.

School ended for Kuro and Fubuki, as they walked to Kuro's part-time job.

As usual, Kuro headed to his locker room, as Fubuki walks inside the cafe and orders some food.

Kuro, came to the counter, as he saw his first costumer.

He greets the costumer, as the costumer orders his food.

Soon, another costumer came.

And it's a familiar one.

" The same as usual? Motoaki-san. "

" You know me well. "

Yagoo said with a smile, as Kuro nodded.

" So, how's work? "

" ... As usual... costumers came and go. "

Kuro replies as he makes the ice coffee, as he took the butter croissant.

" Kid, if we can, I want to talk about my offer later. "

Yagoo said as Kuro handed over the food and drink.

" ... Yeah, sure. "

Kuro said as Yagoo, smiles and walks away. As Kuro, sighed and greeted his next costumer.

-----

As Kuro finished his shift, he head to his locker room and changes his clothes.

He then walks to the main room, as he looked around. Then, his gaze falls to Yagoo, as he saw Fubuki on a sofa.

He walks up to Fubuki first.

" Hey Fubuki. "

Kuro said as Fubuki looked back over her shoulder, as she waves.

" Hey! "

Kuro, sat in front of Fubuki, as he puts his bags.

" Fubuki? "

" Hm? "

" I got something to talk with someone, so keep my bags safe okay? "

Kuro said as he handed over his bag to the table, as Fubuki nodded with a smile. She then continues on eating her burger.

Kuro, looks to Yagoo, as he walks up to him. He took the seat in front of him, as he crossed his arms.

" ... First... I want to know more about your offer. "

Kuro said, as Yagoo smiles.

" Hmm, so, what do you want to know more about my offer? "

" Anything, what is the job, what do I need to do, and how much payment will I eventually get. Is it legal? "

Kuro said, as Yagoo remembers all the questions.

" As for the first question... it's to be an idol, well, an VTuber to be exact. "

" Hm? Is that so... "

" Second, being a VTuber... or an idol to be more precise. You know what you need to do. "

" Yes... "

Kuro said, understanding it.

( So... I just need to sing? )

Kuro thought in his mind, as he rubs his temple and sigh.

" So, my third question? "

" Well, it actually depends, the payment is not by me paying you actually. More like the audience, or viewers donating. "

" Hm... "

Kuro hummed, as he then thinks about it...

( But... home teaching, working on a cafe, and being a VTuber... could I do it..? )

Kuro, had been thinking about the home teaching. It's easy though, not really that hard...

He just need to find the son's class and materials to teach...

Can't be that hard.

Kuro, rubs his temple and sigh, as he looked around his surroundings...

People on a seats... sounds of brewing and orders...

" I... I'll think about it first... "

Kuro said, thinking about everything that is the possible future. Yagoo, nodded, understanding the pressure that's been set to Kuro.

( If I do it all... I could overwork my body... )

Kuro thought in his mind, as he groans...

" Well, I'll wait a few days for your answers. "

Yagoo said as he stood up, already finished eating and drinking his food and drink.

" Well then, I'm going, Rokaku. "

Yagoo said, as Kuro nodded...

Kuro, sighed as he looked to the ceiling.

-----

" Honey? What do you want to eat? "

Kuro's mother said to her husband, as her husband didn't reply anything.

She sighed, already expecting it.

But-

" Hima... "

Hearing her name came from the familiar voice.

She widened her eyes, as she turns back and walks up to her husband.

" Yes? Jin? "

" I... will have that. "

Jinren, Kuro's father said, as his wife smiles, and wipes a tear.

" Okay! "

Hima, head to the kitchen and began cooking. Jinren, smiles a bit as he continues on drinking.

-----

" Himawari's special ramen is here!!! "

Hima said as she served a bowl of ramen, with three eggs that's cut half in two. Showing the orange side on the middle.

And a sun-like naruto is there, as a few sliced pork is laid too there.

Jinren, sat on his couch, as he took the bowl of ramen.

Hima, gave a chopsticks to Jinren, as Jinren took it.

He smiles as he digs on it.

" Itadakimasu... "

Jinren said, as he took the ramen and eat it. As he slurps on the ramen.

*Slurp*

Ah...

" It's as good as before... "

Jinren said, reminiscing about the past.

" Of course it's as good as before! "

" So, it's still the same..? You're not going to improve it..? "

Jinren asked, as Hima pouted.

" Hey! I tried! "

Hima said as she crossed her arms under her chest.

Jinren, chuckled silently as he keeps on eating his ramen...

" Thank you... for still staying with me, Hima. "

Jinren said silently, although, it is heard by Hima. As Hima, smiles.

" Why would I leave my own husband? That I've swear to, to be there for him. Sick nor happy nor sad. "

Hima said with a small tear running down her eyes. She then wrapped her arms around her husband's neck.

" I love you Jin. "

Hima said as she kissed Jinren's cheek, then, she stood up and walks away. Leaving Jinren to smile bitterly.

" I'm truly fortunate to have you as my wife... "

Jinren said as he looked at his ramen.

" Sorry but... I'm not going to be able to be with you in a few more days... "

Jinren said as he smiles bitterly, and continues on eating his ramen. Savouring every taste of it.

-----

Kuro, sat in front of Fubuki, as he sighed and laid his head back.

" Oh Kuro! "

Hearing Fubuki's voice, he straightened his head.

" Hey. "

" So, how did the talk went and who were you talking with what were you talking about? "

Fubuki asked without comas or stopping. Kuro, raised his eyebrows, as his lips grew to a smirk.

" Oi oi, easy there. "

Kuro said as Fubuki tilt her head.

Kuro, would be lying if what she did just now isn't cute.

Fubuki, is a beautiful and cute girl, anybody would be so happy to be her boyfriend. Or even husband.

Bu-t, right now Kuro is just thinking of Fubuki as his friend.

I mean, it's not like they'll suddenly go on an adventure and beat up gods and be boyfriend and girlfriend and then gets married.

Yeah, that's just some anime fantasy.

" Anyway... I was talking with a certain someone about his offer. "

" Oh? "

Fubuki ' oh ' ed, as out of nowhere, a magnifying glass is in front of her left eye. And on top of her head, a detective hat is wear. As she gazed at Kuro.

( ... Where'd she got that? )

Kuro asked on his mind, as he blinked his eyes once more. And the magnifying glass and hat is gone.

...

Kuro :

( ... )

" Ooo... omoshiroi! "

Fubuki said as she nodded a few times, as Kuro, sighed.

" Anyways, let's head back home? "

Kuro said, as Fubuki nodded with a smile.

They took their belongings and head outside of the cafe.

-----

" Ahh... Hima special ramen huh? "

Frost said as Cuby, nodded a few times.

" *Giggles* Makes me reminded of your special ramen, it was tasty~ "

Cuby said as Frost have a smug smile.

" Of course! "

" It truly did stuffed me up~ since it was you who made it~ "

" Glad to hear your compliments~ "

Frost said as he ruffles Cuby's hair and smiles.

" What are you looking at? "

Frost asked you guys as he looked at you.

" Oi, it's done here y'know?.. Mind leaving? We want to have some private time. "
