Chapter 10: Movie Date

I directed Jenny and Rosalline to the theater room located next to my room.

On the way, Rosalline noticed the my room’s door with a [MAX] label on it.

“This is your room?” (Rosalline)

“...Yes?” (Max)

“Hehe, can I look?” (Rosalline)

“Sure. Not much to see though.” (Max)

Opening the door, the two saw my room and were surprised.

“Oh my god! It’s so fluffy!” (Jenny)

“You sure have a lot of stuff toys. That’s unexpected.” (Rosalline)

“Sigh...nothing I can really do about it...” (Max)

After all, everyone treats me like a kid…

“Heh, you’re a kid after all!” (Jenny)

“...Umm, I am 5 years old you know?” (Max)

“...Right...” (Jenny)

Oi, what’s with the ‘Oh yeah~’ look on your face!? Did she seriously forgot my age despite the obvious lack in height!?

“Well, you don’t really act like a kid...you seem way more mature than kids your age. Though, there are times when you act childish.” (Rosalline)

“All will make sense if you just think I’m awesome.” (Max)

“Haha, guess you’re right.” (Rosalline)

We head to the room next door, the theater room and sat. Of course, I sat in the middle of them!

The theater room has sound proof walls colored dark velvet red. The floor is covered with a black soft mat. The chairs are also colored black and had a very comfy feel with a foldable arm rest and had a gimmick where you pull a board below which turns into a table. There’s also a pillow for each chair for those who need it. They are lined up with three on the first and second row while there are four on the third row with each row having enough space between for the table and when reclining the chair in front. All in all, there are ten chairs.

On the ceiling, there’s a special [Holo-Camera] attached, pointing towards the space in front of the chairs. This is different from the ball shaped one which releases the hologram in 360 degrees. This one will only show one direction but not flat. You can think of it as a thick monitor instead or like when viewing a rectangular aquarium.

This is how movies are now shown. Apparently, before, someone tried the 360 degrees viewing of a movie but...people didn’t know which direction to look causing them to miss a lot of details. Also, there were some who tried controlling the chairs to rotate on the place where they need to focus but...they noticed that if they won’t need to look in another direction, what’s the difference from a flat screen where it’s the camera that turns? Doing it this way only wasted money. So, now, they just made the screen ‘thick’ so it would still pop up without the need of a 3D glasses.

The theater room is also equipped with surround sound system with miniature speakers scattered evenly on the walls, ceiling, floor, and even on the seats.

“Even your theater room is already more expensive than all the money I earned in my whole life! Sigh, when can I be as rich as this…?” (Jenny)

“As expected of the Connors family. Truly wealthy!” (Rosalline)

“I also think our wealth is so exaggerated...” (Max)

The three of us sigh together.

As we sat on the first row, with me in the middle, Jenny to my left, and Rosalline to my right, I activate the voice command startup.

“Systems on.” (Max)

With a beep, a huge holographic screen appeared in front of us.

The system booted up and loaded. After a few seconds, a list of movies appeared together with a menu bar on top.

“Display all movies with horror genre.” (Max)

The system is flexible so it’s fine for casual commands like this.

Instantly, the list was reduced but there are still a lot of them.

“Sort by date starting from the latest.” (Max)

Most of the times. The good movies are from the latest so this will save the trouble.

“So? Which one do we watch?” (Max)

“That! That! Let’s watch [Zombie Planet]!” (Jenny)

“How about you sister Rosalline?” (Max)

“Eh? U-uhh, sure...” (Rosalline)

Hm? Could she be afraid?

“Well, [Zombie Planet] it is then. Play.” (Max)

The screen disappeared and the lights in the theater room also turned off.

Suddenly, Rosalline grabbed my hand...eh? She’s that afraid?...It hasn’t even started yet…

Well whatever, let’s just hold her hand~

I fixed the way she held my hand from the top and held hers, with our fingers entwined...though, it’s annoying how small my hand is…

Rosalline looked at me with surprise but I only smiled at her. Her hand relaxes from her grip and she redirected her attention to the movie again which had started its intro.

I looked at Jenny to see if she looks scared but she seems even more excited...by chance, did I interchange the personalities of these two?

I thought Jenny will be the one afraid but is it the other way around?

The movie progresses. Every time a zombie would abruptly pop up, Rosalline’s hand would tense up and she would draw her body closer to me. Now, she’d already hugging my whole arm, causing it to sink beautifully in her breast.

Since it was weird with the height difference, I used mine and Rosalline’s pillow to sit on so we had the same height.

Sometimes, Rosalline isn’t able to take it and she would sink her face to my shoulder while gripping tightly.

I must say, seeing this new side of Rosalline is refreshing and cute.

Meanwhile, Jenny here is fully absorbed in the movie and even seemed to have already forgotten about us.

I calmed Rosalline down by petting her head with my other arm.

The armrest between us have already been folded so we are now glued together.

Rosalline stopped shivering as I pat her head.

Then, she looked at me with upturned teary eyes which can make any man lose control!

Damn! That was too cute!

Like this, we spent the time watching the movie snuggled together, while I was focused mainly on getting as good a feel of Rosalline's breasts as I could without her realising I was doing it on purpose. They're amazing by the way, just the right amount of firmness for my tastes, and her hair smells really nice, too.

Meanwhile, Max’s parents, Maria and Zack Connors have just reached the Drew family manor.

Around the manor, dozens of police cars are parked and some policemen on the lookout.

The police saw Maria and Zack park their car and immediately notified Ben Drew.

“Mr. and Mrs. Connors! Good afternoon. Please do come in!” (Walter)

The one who welcomed them is Walter Mayer, the Drew family’s head butler.

He had a short and well-kept gray hair and mustache which displayed his age, average height, and had an aura of a dignified man about him. Even though he is but a butler, he is still well respected amongst the circle of high class people.

Maria smiled and nodded at Walter.

“Good afternoon to you too Walter. Where’s Ben?” (Maria)

“He’s at the study room attending to the police officers. The young miss is also there.” (Walter)

“Alright. Let’s go in.” (Zack)

“Right away.” (Walter)

Politely bowing, Walter led Maria and Zack to the study room.

Walter knocked and informed Ben.

“Master, Mr. and Mrs. Connors have arrived.” (Walter)

“Ah, yes! Come in! Come in!” (Ben)

Opening the door, they saw four people inside.

Ben Drew wore a business suit and was a bit plump but not exactly what you will call fat, but rather, chubby. He stood behind the desk, facing the entrance.

Ina Drew was sitting on the sofa with her usual expressionless face, seemingly not caring about anything.

Standing in front of Ben are two police officers. A man and a woman. The man had an imposing and intimidating aura and also a long scar that ran from his left eye to his neck. The woman had a short brunette hair, tied on her back neatly. Judging from how she carried herself, she seemed to be the tomboy type. Well, she’s a police after all so this is actually common.

“Maria, Zack! So glad you can come. Right. These people here are helping on the case. This is Commissioner Matt Walker and Detective Alissa Toller.” (Ben)

“It’s an honor to finally be able to meet the famous [Heavenly Pair]! Especially [War God] Zack Connors! This is truly an honor!” (Matt)

In a blink of an eye, Matt’s imposing aura suddenly vanished and now looked like a little kid who saw his hero.

“Yes! This is truly an honour! Most of us in the police force idolize Mr. [War God] a lot! Please give me your autograph!” (Alissa)

“Haha, that’s fine...there. Now, can you tell us what the current situation is?” (Zack)

Matt nodded and started his report. Though he met his idol, he wasn’t nervous at all and resumed his imposing aura again.

“Yes, I have around a hundred policemen to look around and gather information on the criminals about the latest attack. Detective Toller here is the one in charge of the investigation about the other matter.” (Matt)

“Nightmare...was it?” (Maria)

The atmosphere became dense the moment she spoke of that name. Ben, Matt, and Alissa all nodded with stern expressions.

Only Ina seemed unaffected by the atmosphere.

“We’re just about to ask the young miss about it. Young miss, did you happen to see his face?” (Alissa)

“...No. Mr. Night wore a helmet, like the ones riding motorcycles.” (Ina)

“How about his voice? Was it familiar?” (Alissa)

“...No. His voice was muffled by the helmet.” (Ina)

“That’s true, I also heard his voice from the phone but I can’t recognize it. Though, he had a playful and childish way of speaking. As if everything was only a game to him.” (Ben)

Hearing his words, everyone but Ina furrowed their brows.

“A game?” (Zack)

“Yes, he joked alot when he was confronting the criminals...also...at the end, he said something that sent shivers down my spine.” (Ben)

“What? What is it?” (Maria)

“He said, in his usual playful tone, ‘Sorry if I’m being talkative. Y’see, I have all this power and no one that could be considered as an equal opponent so it gets pretty boring~’...at that time, I didn’t pay that much attention to it but after seeing what had become of the criminals...I think he isn’t joking at all...” (Ben)

Everyone’s eyes widened, again, except Ina.

“...It’s true. Mr. Night has superpowers. He can make himself and others invisible...his speed is so fast, it’s like he can teleport...at the end, when he only touched the bad guys’ head...they screamed in fear...as if they saw their worst nightmare...” (Ina)

“...When we saw the criminals...they were in a broken state...they’re alive but...at the same time, not. It was as if they had their souls sucked out of them! It was simply too terrifying!” (Ben)

The other four unconsciously gulped down, imagining how something so impossible had happened.

“Superpowers...are they real?” (Alissa)

“...That’s what you need to find out...” (Matt)

“It seems...something is about to change in this world. Only, I don’t know if it’s a good thing or not.” (Zack)

“It is...a good thing. Nightmare is a Hero. He won’t hurt me.” (Ina)

“Let’s hope that is the case...” (Ben)

They all sighed for a long time before resuming their talk.

* * *

“Hnnn-! That was a good movie!” (Jenny)

Jenny stretched her body, fully emphasizing her slender and sexy figure.

Noticing that I was staring at her, Rosalline pinched my arm on the side.

I look at her and gave a wry smile.

What the hell!? I’m not even your boyfriend right!? Must you be this obvious in your jealousy???

“Ah! Right! How was it Max? Was it scary? Hehe~” (Jenny)

“Yes yes, scary~ so so scary...” (Max)

“...Can you not be so sarcastic!?” (Jenny)

I just yawned at her retorting and asked.

“Well? Do you guys still want to watch more?” (Max)

“Well...your parents should be about to go home...but we can’t just leave you here so I suppose another movie is good. But no more horror!” (Rosalline)

“Haha, fine. Then? What do you want to watch next?” (Max)

“Oh! How about that one then!” (Jenny)

And so, we spent our time watching this and that movies. Eventually, we all slept while watching...well, the two suddenly had their heads on my shoulders before I knew it so I just shrugged and also slept.

*Yawn~*

I should start preparing for my long term goals tomorrow...but first...let’s sleep...
