Episode 2.
Mizuki.
Sakura baby. You're supposed to attend school today.
Mizuki.
I know you can hear me! You were so hyped, what happened?
She said as she entered her bedroom.
Yue still snuggled in her blanket the more she heard her mother's voice.
Yue.
Mmm... me don wanna. Me wan Uncle and Aunty.
She opened up Skype from Yue's TV and both Akise and Akira appeared.
Means *good morning sweetheart*
Akise.
Ragazinna mattutino.
Yue.
Zia Angelica! Zio Alberto! *smiles*
Yue jumps out of her cocoon and moved closer to the edge of the bed.
Mizuki.
Le sto cercando di convincerla ad andare a scuola ma lei non vuole!
*Im telling her to go to school but she doesn't want to!*
Akise.
Why don't you wanna?
Akira.
Why? Is there something keeping you there?
Yue.
Me wanna talk to Zia an Uncle..... *murmurs*
Akira.
*stares blankly then laughs heartily*
Yue.
Why you laughing? Don't you wanna? *wails*
Akira.
Scusa scusa tesoro! Non piangere adesso!
*Sorry sorry sweetie! Don't cry now!
Akise.
Look. Here in Canada,its afternoon. Where Zia is,in Iraq,it's nighttime.
Yue.
You don't wanna talk to me is that it. Baddie! I hate Zio!
Mizuki.
Che diavolo hai fatto!
*What the hell did you do?*
Akira.
Oi oi oi Akise! Can you be gentle with the kid? *sigh*
Akira.
What Uncle meant to say is that our work is pretty squeezed right now....
Yue.
You don't love me do you? I hate you all. *wails*
Mizuki.
*sigh* You're making it worse....
Akira.
But! We'll see if we can come by this week and we'll bring you a little something too.
Yue.
I love you again! *laughs*
Yue.
I'll go to school and follow what mama tells me if you come here where I am.
Akira.
La Zia ti ama. Ciao.
Akise.
Sii una brava ragazza, ragazinna. Ciao.
*Be a good girl now. Bye.*
Yue wore her uniform as Mizuki went down to prepare her a quick breakfast.
Yue shouted as she jumped out of the fleet of stairs.
Yue.
How does Yue look? *humph*
Mizuki.
Tenshi no hohoemi de. *smiles*
*With the smile of an angel.*
Mizuki.
You look heavenly baby! Now. Eat your breakfast an I'll drop you off school.
She ate some oatmeal and a fruit salad.
Yue.
Delicious as always mama.
Mizuki.
Now. Take those lemon and dark chocolate cookies I packed for you as a snack and take your lunch box too.
She did so then stood by the door waiting for her mother.
Mizuki.
I'm ready amore. Let's go!
Yue.
Yes! We shall! Lettuce go! *huffs and smiles*
They got in the car then drove to Chaldea Academy. One of the most prestigious institutions in Japan.
When they reached and pulled up by the big parking lot...
Mizuki.
Sweetie. This place isn't for the faint hearted. So etiquette matters.
Yue.
I know mama. I'm not dense.
Mizuki.
*She talked in advanced English. She's serious about this.* Thought.
Yue.
Let's go mother. *smiles*
Today was the day of the interview. Many children and teenagers came to try their luck to be accepted.
They went by the gates and they were given the number 367.
On the first try, a lot of them failed.
Mizuki.
*This place is swarming with cameras. Seems that the test has already began.* Thought.
They walked gracefully all the way to the entrance.
Even before every family entered the hall, over twenty families were already disqualified. They announced it on the speaker.
They entered the enormous hall and found carts full of candy,games and lots of captivating things.
Luckily enough, that was mostly everything Yue didn't like so they just walked up to a table by the window and ordered some milk and cookies.
Most of the kids just ran to the carts and played and ate.
Speaker.
Family 254 eliminated.
Speaker.
Family 683 eliminated.
Speaker.
Family 735 eliminated.
Speaker.
Family 352 eliminated.
Speaker.
Family 262 eliminated.
Fifty to eighty families were already disqualified from the second test.
They then moved to the Chaldean Halls and found pictures of figures of prestige hang everywhere. They all had learnt there.
Then obviously, there was a break room for the parents and a play room for the kids.
Unfortunately,those who went there were all eliminated. Now only five families remained.
Yue.
Mother. We're going to make it.
Mizuki.
Yes. Yes we will my dear.
Speaker.
Family 367,636,243,746 and 577. Please follow the man in front of you. You will now go to the real interview.
A man then appeared and led them through the flight of stairs and they entered a room that was polished to perfection.
Taki Jintan.
Good morning to you all. I am Taki Jintan, also known as the director of this fine establishment. Also I acted as the speaker of that little interview.
Taki Jintan.
Please. Have a seat.
Taki Jintan.
Children. Arise.
Taki Jintan.
If I may,can I ask a question?
Taki Jintan.
Name one strong source of static electricity.
Mizuki.
*They're just kids. Will baby be able to answer that?* Thought.
Taki Jintan.
Good. Very good.
He asked a few more questions and the others passed as well.
The questions became harder.
Taki Jintan.
One last question.
Taki Jintan.
The Dams in Africa. Tell me something about at least two of them.
Yue.
Aswan High Dam. River Nile,in Egypt. Construction started in 1957 completed in 1970. Reason for its construction was to provide water for the 96 percent desert.
Yue.
Akosombo Dam. River Volta in Ghana. Construction started in 1961. Reason was providing a lot of hydroelectric power for the bauxite smelting industries and others in Ghana.
The others murmur in awe.
Taki Jintan.
Your name. What is your name young prodigy?
Yue.
Raiden. Yue Kazuya Raiden. This is my humble mother, Mizuki Raiden.
Mizuki.
Good morning Mr. Jintan.
Taki Jintan.
Good morning to you as well.
Taki Jintan.
You're all dismissed. You attend Chaldea tomorrow.
They thanked him and left.
Taki Jintan.
How do you know all this,young one? You're....five years old.
Yue.
My aunt taught me as I continued to grow. I was rather knowledge thirsty. *smiles*
Taki Jintan.
One last question before you go young one.
Taki Jintan.
It would seem that your father is not present. May I ask where he is at the moment.
Mizuki.
Mr. Jintan. I don't think....
Yue.
Mr. Taki Jintan. I thank you for your concern for me but I lack a father. I was born without the love of one.
Yue.
Still.... My mother gives me love that would be much bigger than when the two were together. Along with my aunt and uncle. They are everything to me.
Taki Jintan.
When you saw the other children with their other families, how did you feel?
Yue.
I did feel uncomfortable at first. Then I remembered my aunt's words.
Yue.
Mezza pagnotta è meglio di niente...
Yue.
It means half a loaf is better than none. Im actually lucky to have my mother and her siblings because they are there for me and they give me moral support whenever I need it.
Yue.
So what I'm trying to say is that they're more than enough for me to live on.
Taki Jintan.
Wow...... I believe you shall be one of my prodigies in the future. Welcome to Chaldea Academy Yue Kazuya Raiden. I have high hopes for you, young one.
He said as they shook hands.
Taki Jintan.
You start school tomorrow.
Then they left the school and drove home.
Mizuki.
Amore!..... *sniffles*
Mizuki.
I never thought you would say something like that! *sniffles*
Yue thinks aloud session.
Yue.
Saying all that took courage and..... what was that name Zia used again...... oh yeah! It takes balls to be a badass!
Mizuki.
Baby! What was that?
Yue.
So anyway, I'm gonntell you about where we come from.
Yue.
Mama,Zia and Zio have parents that come from different countries, Mama's mama is from Italy and Mama's dada is from Japan. That's why Zia looks so different from Zio and Mama!
Yue.
Zia says as soon as she come back from Iraq she will take me to Italy and teach me how to make pasta and pizza!
Yue.
Anyway,I have to sleep now. Tomorrow is school. Bye.
