The most beautiful lady in Spain [Hyde]

My fashion sense isn’t that bad, I’ve been trying I guess. “ Hyde would say as he laughed it off. However, he noticed something when Shun mentioned his father not being here. “Hmm…” Hyde could feel something brewing from within this conversation, but he couldn’t tell what. “I’m going to go check out the caviar then, I’ll be right back. I’ll leave you two to talk and get acquainted. “ After giving them both a friendly smile, Hyde would proceed to the table across from them. “ Wow, I never seen so many assortments of cheese before. I wonder if they all taste differently?

Nagisa nodded to Hyde and then returned her gaze to Shunnosuke. It was clear that the teens had similar upbringing and both of them have been educated on how to behave in these kinds of events but that very fact made Nagisa distrustful towards him. "My parents haven't arrived yet. My mother would is a perfectionist when it comes to choice of attire, not that I can blame her for that, she is a fashion designer after all. I'm sure a person with your fashion style have heard of Mari Kawasaki. We were supposed to meet with my brother Masahiko but he is apparently busy. Being the heir of the Sugihara group is surely demanding.

She added with a smile. She was annoyed that her brother didn't come for her right away but she didn't want to appear like the demanding sister who didn't understand the importance of social graces. "But enough about our families. Let's talk about something more suited for this place. Do you enjoy the new facilities of the museum of modern art. Personally I find them rather lovely although I'm more interested to see that new painting everyone seems to be talking about."

While those two continued to talk their heads off, Hyde came back with a small plate of stuff and was munching away as he stood slightly in the idle of them and listened while he chewed. “This is pretty good; I was kind of hoping that there would be meat at the table. Then again, I guess you could say that the night is pretty early, on top of the fact that everyone is already drinking wine.” Hyde was pretty good at being observant if anything. “What are you two talking about anyway? Fashion things? Well either way, it looks like you two are getting along just fine.” Hyde was pretty happy, he was hoping that Shun and nagisa didn’t bump heads Nagisa didn’t seem like the type, but shun can be confrontational if he wants to be.

Nagisa was glad that Shunnosuke appreciated fashion, after all most of her friends didn't care about it all making Nagisa feel that her hobby was dying out. "I agree completely, though our choice of attire we make a statement about our personality and even beliefs, fashion is a form of art like those paintings in the museum. Unfortunately it's not recognized as such by the majority. As for me I enjoy being properly dressed, it's a form of expresion after all. By the way did I mentioned that my mother is the designer of this gown?" She said as she showed off her dress. Nagisa always enjoyed talking about how create her mother was and how beautiful her products were. "Perhaps I could ask her to design something for you as well, she is always happy to please her fans after all." She added before Hyde returned to them.

"Oh yes you know, this and that. By the way Hyde what's your opinion about fashion. I have never had the chance to ask you before."

My opinion about fashion?” Hyde would contemplate that question as he took a bite of a cracker that he had on his plate. “Hmm, well…. I don’t think nothing much of it. The man makes the clothes, or woman. You can’t expect something extravagant to have a great deal over your looks half the time. I guess it’s fun to dress up nice, but as a student, it’s pretty expensive. “
Hyde would then laugh at the fact that he had a red cape. “I came from a pretty weird place where wearing a red cape was appropriate. But still the cape is still pretty important to me, and I like the color red.” Hyde would then put a cheese cube in his mouth. “I can be a simple guy sometimes. If i had my way, there would be no need for clothes, for me that is.

Shunnosuke wasn't too far from the truth, Hyde wasn't the kind of person who would care about fashion or aesthetic, though his cape and love for color red reminded her of the leader of her team. Perhaps she should introduce them to each other they could become best friends within minutes, just like she and Shunnosuke. She had finally found a kindred spirit in the young man. "For once I'm very happy that my brother forgot to pick me up. By the way Shunnosuke you should totally visit my place at some point, I could let you see some of my mother's upcoming collection garments. They are very stylish and I'm certain a person of your taste would appreciate. As about you Hyde, why didn't you introduced us sooner. I'm telling you, your friend is a treasure." She added as turned her attention to Hyde. "Come let'sgo mingle a bit. Perhaps we can even find my brother I'm sure he would love to meet you guys." She proposed as she began to walk towards the crowd.

I guess it really is our turn to mingle huh? Let’s go meet this brother of yours Nagisa Sempai. I hope he a nice guy…” Hyde would say as he followed the rest of them. However, he would slightly choke on his cracker when Shun mentioned school being out. That’s right; Hyde didn’t have a place to go. “Oh, school… yea… well… i-“ Was he really going to mention his problems to everyone while they were trying to have fun and enjoy the art gallery? If there is one thing Hyde didn’t like to do, it was become a burden to anyone. Never mind.” Hyde would simply change his mind about mentioning it and continued to follow. “I hope we can enjoy our summer vacation, that’s what it is right? Has to be, it’s so damn hot on the island, yeesh!”

Nagisa didn't reply to Hyde even though she heard what he said, she was already occupied searching for her brother and even though it wasn't easy to spot a person in such a crowd Masahiko always stood out. She found him talking with a much older lady, Nagisa couldn't recall her name but she was certain she had seen her face in one of those business magazines her father loved to read, his fiance was nowhere to be seen. He noticed Nagisa and as soon as he got the chance he politely ended his conversation with the old lady and headed towards them Dressed with an expensive suit made specifically for him Masahiko stood out from the rest of the crowd, Nagisa always considered her brother the perfect successor for the Sugihara group.

Spoiler:

"Ah there you are, Nagisa. Sorry for not coming for you but Mrs. Aizawa is a tough lady to deal with. At least you found your way to me." Masahiko said to his sister with a charming grin on his face. "I take it these are your friends. Hello there, I'm Nagisa's elder brother Masahiko Sugihara. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance." He added as he turned his attention to Hyde and Shunnosuke. Nagisa rushed to introduce them to him.
"Of course, pardon my rudeness. This is my escort Hyde Mizumi an underclassman of mine and this is Shunnosuke Kurosawa, I trust you remember meeting his grandparents before."
Even though Masahiko had made a very polite and formal introduction Nagisa realized that he was more interested in Shunnosuke than Hyde, after all her brother had little interest in "unimportant" people. "Please take good care of my sister. Shunnosuke, was it? I'm very happy to finally meet you. Your grandparents were rather stoic about you so I was curious about you. Tell me do you enjoy the party?" Masahiko asked as soon as he had the information he wanted about his sister's company.

“Take care of your sister? Of course I will….” Hyde would say with confidence and a straight face, he was here to escort Nagisa and make sure that she had a pretty good time . However, how was Hyde supposed to react to this man in the first place? Also, Hyde kind of felt that he was somehow being rubbed the wrong way. Maybe it was his instincts taking to him. “ He mostly tuned shun and Nagisa’s brother out, since they weren’t talking about anything that Hyde bothered to understand, or paid him any mind anyway. “ I’m going to go look at some art, want to show me a few Nagisa? “ Hyde would say as he walked in the opposite direction towards a red painting. “How about this one?”

Nagisa looked at her brother's eyes before she turned to Hyde. "Yes of course. I believe this one belongs to a German painter, I'm not sure what the artist tries to express through this." She replied as she gazed at the mostly red surreal painting "I'm not an expert but personally I think that the artist simply likes red a lot so he just uses it. I guess it looks good enough to be here, perhaps that's all it has to be. What do you think? Do you like this painting?" She asked trying to make light conversation. She wasn't an art enthusiast but she didn't mind talking about paintings and works of art from time to time.

In the meantime Masahiko approached Shunnosuke. "I hope you get along with my sister, The Sugihara group is very happy to count your family as it's partners. I believe you don't have any siblings, is that correct?" He asked. Masahiko knew how to read people and how to use his charm to make others like him. Out of the three siblings of the Sugihara family Masahiko was the most charismatic one. "We ought to have you over for dinner. Perhaps we could arrange something within the upcoming week. I hear that the academy will remain close for some time due to the heat wave."
