“Thank you, sir. Huh, may I know your name, please?” You continue being polite as hell. The devil wins through pleasantries.
“I’m <span class="mu-i">Mio Fenix Lacsamana~</span>!” This is a man who really loves the sound of his name as he turns it into a little jingle.
“And your daughter’s?” You keep inquiring.
“The name of the light of my sun is none other than…” Mio Fenix starts dancing with his puppet full of joy, but suddenly stops. “…<span class="mu-s">my Kiki</span>.”
“That’s cute.” You weren’t expecting something this lame. It sounds like the name of a cat like Snowball or Bradford Jr.
“Every day, I notice how this identity vanishes. She only responds to the name the masses know her as, not the one her poor father spent painful years coming up with.” Mio Fenix is saddened by this immutable fact. “Don’t let your clients go through the same pain.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll keep calling her Pumpkin Pie.” You meant to say her real name, whoops.
“Are you telling me that you’re <span class="mu-i">lovers</span>...?” The man starts strangling the mannequin.
“I-It’s nothing like that, it’s an innocent nickname, that’s all.” You’re starting to question if the word Pumpkin has another meaning that you aren’t aware of. “Besides, I met her today, I can’t move that fast.” If you ignore, huh, a certain mousy lady…
“I understand. Not that I can stop the ways of love...” Mio Fenix will keep an eye on you though.
“Sir, I have a weird question to make.” You better change topics before his eyes murder you.
“Is it about the mannequin?” Mio Fenix is ready to talk about the mannequin.
“No…” You’re trying to ignore it.
“Then feel free.” Mio Fenix sighs and smiles.
“Do you play <span class="mu-s">Sparks of Luck</span>?” You grin.
“Mr. Ando, if I propose to you a game at this very moment. Would you accept my challenge?” Mio Fenix asks back.
“Is that a yes, you play or…?” You perplexedly say.
“Please, answer my question. I’ll reveal my daughter’s real name if you happen to win.” Mio Fenix thinks you don’t want to play since you didn’t jump at the chance.
“It’s not Kiki?” You’re a tad disappointed.
“It’s a pet name that *only* her father is allowed to use.” Mio Fenix retorts. Then why say it in front of you?
“Do I get the right to call her Kiki if I win?” You raise an eyebrow.
“I’m starting to see what kind of man you are, Mr. Ando.” The man makes his mannequin spit out his deck. “If you win, I’ll back you in whatever plan you see fit.”
“And if I lose?”
“I want you to send T_T Neko my regards.” Mio Fenix never smiles, he’s all business.
