________________________________________________________________________________________________
Work has been soo stressful lately. We've been getting more and more job offers, while I'm glad we're getting more popular. I'm just soooo busy! The jobs don't even pay that much either. ~Sigh~ 'I miss my Aqua and Ruby.'
"Mister Ichigo, is there any way I can spend more time with Aqua and Ruby?"
"We spoke about this Ai, you're way too busy these days sorry."
"Ahh but I miss them soo much!" I pouted.
"I understand that, but you can't. You shouldn't even be talking about this right now, they need you on set in 5."
"Blehh, you're such a meanie Ichigo-san." I stuck my tongue out at him.
'Aqua….Ruby, Please come save mama from this demon!'

I've been thinking about it for a bit, and while Miyako doesn't say anything I can tell she doesn't really enjoy looking after the kids all the time. I get it, she is young afterall. 'I should probably find a babysitter.'
"...NO AI! THINK ABOUT THE RISK YOU'RE PUTTING YOURSELF IN!"
"I know Mister Ichigo, but I can't keep bothering Miyako either."
"SH— ~Sigh~ She doesn't even mind."
"Even if she doesn't, she is a young woman, Mister Ichigo. She probably wants to be able to go out and do things sometimes too."
"Still, you can't put yourself at risk like that Ai. If you're caught your career will be ruined. It would turn into a huge scandal."
'I get what he's saying, I really do..but-but..'
"It's okay Mister Ichigo, I'll create a brand new account with a fake name. And we can background check the person and make them sign a contract too."
I really didn't want Miss Miyako to hate me or the kids, she has a right of freedom too. She doesn't have to do this, so I should…at the very least, try to lighten her load even a little.
"~Sigh~ Fine, but I have to see the files on that person too. And don't get caught, or I'm kicking your ass."
"Heheh, thank you Mister Ichigo." I gave him a hug.

Not many people had messaged me over the week about the babysitting post, I'm guessing it was because the account wasn't even a month old. Still though this was quite frustrating. The sooner I could get someone to help babysit so Miyako could get free time the better, but I can't rush and hire just anyone either.
'Maybe 'kawaiitw1ns' wasn't the best username choice?'
"Ai! Come on! They need us on stage for practice!"
"Coming~!!"
'Blehh more practice, my whole body hurts. When am I gonna get some resttttt.'

Someone named Wataru Sajou responded to my post today. They were asking basic questions like if the job was still available and such. It looked as if they were an overly formal and polite person…but still, how dare they ask if my precious Ruby and Aqua are well behaved!?
'~hhttft~ Breathe Ai, how could they know if they haven't met the children before.'
He seemed like a nice person overall, apparently he was a highschool student so he was worried about which days he'd have to come in and stuff. He never asked about anything other than the job so that was a plus. 'I wonder how he would react if he knew I was a girl, and an idol.'
"Mama, what are you thinking about?" Ruby asked with her head tilted.
"I was just thinking about getting you guys a babysitter Ruby-chan~"
'Ahhh my kids are so cute.'
"Babysitter!? What about Miss Miyako? / That's a bad idea Ai."
"Yes, a babysitter. Don't worry Ruby, Miss Miyako will still look after you guys..just not all the time."
"Okay mama!"
"Ai, you know that's very risky given our circumstances right?"
"Mou~ stop using big words Aqua-tan, and don't worry mama's got it covered."
'Seriously, where does this child learn these words from, I don't remember buying any story books with those words in it.'
"Did Mister Ichigo agree to this? I doubt he would accept something so risky. And what's wrong with leaving everything to Miss Miyako? We're well behaved aren't we?"
"Jeez, Don't. Wo-rry, and yes Mister Ichigo knows!"
"Stil—
"Aquamarine Hoshino."
"Yes ma'am"
"Good. And I know, but it isn't nice to leave everything to Miss Miyako. She isn't much older than me, you know? She needs to go out and have fun too."
"...Okay." he was pouting.
"Ahhh, don't be sad. I know! Come let's eat some ice cream and watch mama's latest performance!"
"Yes mama!/Yes"

I was waiting in Cafe Stile for Wataru Sajou to meet the kids. Based on the files the investigators gave me he seemed to be a nice person that was average in everything and never got into any sort of trouble with the exception of during middle school, where he was somewhat of a joker.
'He didn't really seem like that on call though.'
"Be careful, okay Ai. You can just ask me if you need anything or if he's giving you any trouble."
"I'll be sure to, thank you Dino!"
"No worries."
Dino, the manager of Cafe stile, was one of the few people to know my secret. I trusted him a lot since I used to come here even before I was an idol. He was a nice person, albeit his taste in….women. Anyways, even though I trusted him he still insisted on signing a contract to prove he won't spill my secret.
.

"Wataru Sajou right?"
"Yes, that's the correct miss..Hoshino was it?"
He seemed every bit as composed as he was on the phone, with his monotone voice his demeanour seemed aloof and he wore a poker face.
"Yes! That's right. Nice to finally meet you mr monotone~"
After he met the kids and asked a few questions he seemed to accept the job, he wasn't even surprised when I revealed who I was. Nor did he start treating me any differently.
.
.
"Ai."
"Excuse me?"
"Call me Ai."
'If it's someone like this, I trust that Aqua and Ruby will be safe.'

Author note: First time writing a side story. Did I do a good job~?
Also please for the love of god, don't take this as Ai being interested in kiyo as a love interest yet, this is simply her being comfortable with how he acts as a person, at most they'll end up being friends.. So expect fun interactions and teasing.
Will it develop into romance later on? Who knows.
If y'all have any suggestions just lmk, also please help me fix any errors if there are any.
Love y'all
pce out.
