Bribe the Tech-Savvy [Kyoko]

It was delivery day, and one particular angelic business man couldn’t be happier to see the white truck pull up to the back entrance of the building that gave home to his bar and the few apartments he owned. A few days ago, he sat down with a quite tech-savvy individual to search the best deals that would satisfy her needs and order something worth her incredible talent.

Miha could swear he lost a few years off his lifespan during the three hours they browsed the various online shops and the sites of tech providers. While Kyoko assured him that she can just order them from her own inner computer, Miha refused to allow her processor to directly know even one of his bank account’s number. So, much to her utter disgust and demise, he asked her to use an older computer for the order, so Miha could keep the illusion of his account’s codes staying hidden. He at least made sure to use one that had just enough money on it, no more, in case Kyoko or his other acquaintances decided it would be fun to fish off the rest of the credits from it. Not that he didn’t trust them with his finances but... No actually, that was the exact case.

Miha walked up to the delivery man, his pale ochre robe trailing after him in waves. He was dressed in light but elegant clothes, one single robe on top to hide his wings from plain sight. He pulled the giant, extra limbs close to his back as much as possible, but even like that it seemed like he was wearing an oversized backpack under his clothes. The delivery man only gave him a curious glance, but when he say the ends of the feathers gathering behind the exotic man’s legs, he paid it no further mind. Although Miha was not even remotely ashamed of his wings, he found it was better to hide them from curious glances. He was easily identified by them, and anyone seeing them would easily link him to the winged assassin doing dirty work for mafia bosses during the night.

He asked the delivery man with his kindest business smile to load the boxes he brought into the hallway leading to the apartments, near the first doors. After signing the papers and giving a healthy tip to the man for his help, he waited a few minutes for the truck to disappear from sight.

He didn’t order a single computer, but a whole system that Kyoko will be the most happy with. Aside from the main hardware, it had many more extensions from the most high-tech variety. He refused to look at the full price he had to pay for this all again, but he made a mental note to work his little group to pay it all off.

He walked up to the door of the room he knew he had the young girl currently reside in. “Kyokocska” He knocked, using the diminutive that was so common in his country, and was the equivalent of “Kyoko-chan” in his language. “Christmas came early this year.”

He didn’t open the boxes. He would let the girl live that joy while she could. There was no way he would trust himself around such high-tech stuff anyway.
