《The One and Only》Chapter 1 - The Hell that Haunts you

“I’m currently giving the last review to the report; the plan is to end at 3:00 pm”
“ok, that went quite fast Harima San, glad you are working with us”
“is always a pleasure Mr. Ludwig”
This is Kiteretsu company, located at Sendai Capital Tower at 13F in Sendai, capital of the prefecture of Miyagi
Harima works for Google Inc. under the director Eduard Ludwig, his daily life consists in sending daily reports to the director, his reports are based on statistics that help the director take decisions so is kind of an important job
The daily routine is not bad at all, everything seems in place, but wait something seems off, what is this, there is an obento at the office of Harima, is kind of rare sight to have this, I mean, he barely speaks with the staff
“……… a heart? “
Well not a heart in flesh but a heart made with rice, something is fishy because he just has 6 months in the company, is not like he made any friends so far, he just live shut at his office and the 5 monitors where he only sees numbers and no faces beside he is an Otaku that lives watching anime and playing games
“could you help me with this Harima San? Sorry I didn’t know you were having lunch “
“don’t worry I’m used to eat and work at the same time “(what he meant was “used to eat and play at the same time “)
“could you please help me with this report?”
“sure, Karen”
“….my name is not Karen”
“sorry, I was joking, Kaede” (it was his way to make conversations, a pretty lame joke if you ask me)
“thanks Harima San”
“you are welcome”
“enjoy your lunch” …. (why did he call me Karen)
“thanks (I need to find a better joke)”
Late at night

|you have a new text message|
“yo! Did you get the car? I don’t even get why did you bought the motorcycle at all, you are really stupid when it comes to girls don’t ya?”
“does he ever going to change the way he says “hi” at all? and more important, what the hell is he doing awake at this time, he has to work tomorrow, that reminds me that I need to go tomorrow to work still, forgot it was Thursday and not Friday, fml”
* * *
Friday
At Google Inc
“Good morning Harima San, you are early as always”
Inoue San is the receptionist, she is married but she is well looking, Harima knows she is married but he loves how she dress and her voice
“Good morning Inoue San, early bird gets the worm they say”
It was 8:08 am, there was a low chance to meet people at the cafeteria because every team had huddles with their teams so it was the best moment to get coffee before everyone else, with that in mind Harima San made his way to the cafeteria and then the room was filled with a strange feeling, it was colder than usual
“I better get the coffee quick “
“……. will you still follow me to the deepest hell as you promised?”
Those words were whispered to Harima ears and suddenly he froze, well, anyone who would have heard those words early in the morning in a room alone would have felt the chills going from the head to the feet’s in one second
“WA WA WA WHHAA WWHAAAAATTTT ARE YOU DOING HERE TENMA SAN!!!????”
“me? Oh, I have one month working here, I finally found the time where you come to your daily coffee”
“NO! I MEAN....WAIT WHAT!?”
“is nice to see that you are doing well Harima San”

“YEAH RIGHT? HEHEH EHEH” (WHY IS SHE SPEAKING TO ME)
“can I join you for your coffee?”
“EEEHHHHH I NEED TO SEND SOME REPORTS, SEE YAAAAAAAAA”
Harima san lost his control in one second, the hell had happened between them before
“Don’t run in the reception Harima san”
Inoue San was able to see the Harima san on his lighting speed getting full speed to his office where he closed himself
“HOW DID SHE FIND ME!!!!”
The girl that rejected him at his previous job was working with him once again, he left that job because of her and now she was here with him
“I CAN’T EVEN FACE HER AFTER WHAT HAPPENED”
“AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!”
“……I will follow you to the deepest hell “AHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!”
That’s not even a romantic phrase, well, Harima is an otaku so he doesn’t know how express his feelings properly
At Harima’s Friend Phone
|you got a new message|
“huh? Hello what’s……”
“SHE IS HERE!!!!!!”
“huh? Don’t yell, you have yelled enough on last page, who is there?”
“TENMA”
“I TOLD YOU TO NOT YELL!!!!”
“sorry, are you in a meeting?”
“no but you are getting annoying, so Tenma went your way then”
“huh? How do you know?
“well you just said it, didn’t you?”
“no, I mean, did you know she quit and didn’t tell me?”
“I knew she quit but what were the chances she will go your way? She rejected you remember? Anyways I have to go back to work, let’s go for some drinks so we can talk ok?”
“yea is Friday anyways”
At Sendai Station
“you know, we will be here for 3 beers then I have to go”
“still stuck on gaming? You are not a kid anymore, you have 20 years now, you better act like an adult now”
“only games keep my mind busy and you know it, I always make the wrong decisions when I’m not playing”
“well that’s true, you confessed to Tenma during that long maintenance of 3 days”
“don’t remind me…”
Then the bar tender asked
“are you ready to order?”
“bring us 6 Kirin Beers please”
“hey, I can’t drink too much you know”
“we going to drink 3 each remember?”
“yeah but you know I suck at drinking”
“didn’t I tell you to ack like an adult?”
……2 beers after
“so, what did you see in her anyways? I mean she look like a guy with that flat chest”
“we had to work together on several projects together”
“you said together twice, are you drunk already?”
“not really, I’m just tired, it has been a long week you now? From Monday to Friday”
“yeah, that is your schedule isn’t? you should rest more and stop playing”
“are you my mom or something?”
“remember you can die if you play and don’t go to the bathroom, drink water, etc. etc.”
“I drink enough water a day so I’m not worried”
“what I’m worried is that you fall in love with 3d girls just because they look like anime”
“ANIME GIRLS WILL NEVER LOOK LIKE REAL GIRLS”
“don’t yell, you are not at home yet, and what about Tenma, you fell in love with her because she looked like Android 17 from Dragon Ball didn’t you? Just that Tenma was the Female version of him”
“OH SHUTUP”
And then Harima fell sleep….
“you were not joking when you said you were weak to alcohol huh?”
“don’t worry I’ll take care of him”
“hell, I don’t know what he could do without you around”
“I guess this is my punishment anyways”
“is not your fault you know?”
“…..”
