The Transparent Accountant Part 1

Although it was only 9 o'clock in the morning today the house was emptier than usual. Today there were only three people in the house, one of them was my mother, the other one was Momo and me, everyone else was in the café. My mother was in the kitchen, skinning her best skills and preparing a nice lunch, while the angel was looking for his halo of light, which he had not used since the day he came to this house, while I was doing my best to clean the whole house one last time to make it nice for our future guests. As for why the others were not here, well....

"I can't believe you didn't tell your parents about the other girls!"
"Don't you think that's an important point for your parents to know!?"

"Well, that's because the last time I sent them a message, we didn't even have our daughters"
"How do I explain to him that in a matter of 6 months you got 5 wives and 2 daughters?"

"Well yes, I don't think it's an easy subject to digest."
"But aren't you an angel?"
"Lying is wrong, especially to your parents."

"Don't tell me that you don't do it all the time, I know that you ate my ice cream yesterday"
"Besides, I'm not lying! I'm just postponing the truth"

"I already told you, I didn't eat your ice cream."
"If it had been me, I would have eaten everyone's ice cream."

"Well, you're right about that"
"....."
"How strange, I'm sure I had left my halo of light here, but I can't find it anywhere"
"No one has seen it?"
"Ade, you don't know where my angel halo is by any chance!?"

"Oh, girl, what am I going to know?"
"I don't use that at all."
"Are you sure you put it there?"
"Didn't you lend it to Maria to use as a desk lamp at night that time?"
"She didn't give it back to you?" my mother answered from the kitchen

"Right! I remembered!"
"She had left it on her desk for me to take it back!"
"I had completely forgotten!"

"Now that I think about it, if you are an angel why don't you ever use your halo of light?"

"Are you seriously asking?"
"I'm made of glass, what do you think will happen if I put a light source near me?"
"Just don't laugh"

Momo came walking down the hallway, or so I think she was, she was just a figure of light walking, her face could not be seen directly, it was like looking directly into a lamp.

"AAAH! My eyes!"
"They hurt!"
"Turn it off, turn it off!"
"I got it! If you shine too much, I can see it!"
"Turn it off!"

"Stop being a crybaby, it's not that big of a deal"

"Well, look on the bright side, if the power goes out at night we have a way to light the whole house."

"You moron!"

"Leaving that aside, why the huge veil and the halo of light?"

 "I'm still an angel, right? my parents are coming to visit me, I can't show up in my pajamas"
"I have to dress accordingly"

"You are naked almost all the time in front of everyone!"
"What's different about this"

"They are my parents, you idiot!"
"I'm not going to walk around naked in front of them!"
"It is important among angels to be reserved."

"I don't think you understand me"
"You are always naked, here, in the house, in front of a goddess, my mother, and the rest of the gang."
"Why now? if you are trying to wear something, that doesn't even help to cover in the first place, and using the halo, highlighting your body even more."
"Appealing to etiquette and models of the angels, when they are your own parents, the ones who raised you since you were a child?"

But just before Momo could move her mouth to speak, the doorbell rang, making everyone alert. The bulb girl and I rushed into the living room to wait for our guests. As my mother opened the door, Momo was combing my hair a little quickly to be as presentable as possible. I meanwhile was feeling a bit too nervous.

"Hello! good morning!"
"You must be Momo's parents, right?"
"It's nice to meet you, please feel free to go a ...head ....... to...."
"...."
"...."

One meter eighty-tall man was standing in front of the doorway of our house, a black suit, long hair, a short boat, an eye patch,  tattoos on his arm, his face was that of an angry man looking for trouble, behind him were three other men of similar appearance and a black luxury car, from the bulges in their clothes you could see they had badly concealed weapons. My mother who was speaking cheerfully fell silent in the middle of her prayer and took a step back. I began to summon Avalon from the wall next to me looking to have some weapon in hand. But the biggest surprise of all came from Momo.

"Dad?"
"Is it you?"
"What happened to you?"
"What's with the looks?"
"Where's mom?"

"Oh, but look who it is!"
"It's my sweet little princess!"
"It's me, Daddy!"
"It's so good to see you again my precious!"

"The who?"  I asked.

"Don't worry guys, yes, it's here!"
"Thanks a lot for the ride guys, if you want you can go back to the old man" 

Said the strange man to the others, who got into the car and left soon after.

"Ah, Momo, this is your father, right?"
"We're not letting in a yakuza just because you are mistaking  him." I spoke softly.

"Of course, I recognize my father."
"I just don't know what the hell he's doing either." replied the girl next to me.

"Uh, excuse me, are you the Mr? ....." asked my mother.

"Mr. Kaikeishi Tomei, the father of my beloved Momo"
"I work as an accountant for the firm Nexus company"

Both my mother and I were extremely confused as to what was going on, for from the descriptions Momo had given of her father we had a very different picture of the one who was present. The glass girl was covering her face with her hand trying to hide her shame, even though it was clearly visible, as always.

"Please Mr. Kaikeishi, this way, make yourself comfortable"
"My name is Adelis, I am Cesar's mother, and now you can say that I am Momo's mother-in-law"
"This here is my son, Cesar, as you can see .... certain "complications" happened with him"
"I hope you don't mind waiting a little while for lunch, I am almost finished preparing it"
"I assure you it is delicious!"

"Oh of course, don't worry, I can wait forever if I get the chance to try a meal like yours Mrs. Adelis."
"I had already heard about what happened with Cesar before I came, so I won't get into the subject."
"Today I am more than happy to be able to see my beautiful girl once again!" Said our guest as he sat in the living room of the house.

Well, at least aside from his appearance, he was a pleasant and well-mannered.

"Dad!"
"I've already told you not to treat me like a child, I'm of age!"

"Oh, what are you talking about!"
"For me you will always be my little princess!"
"Ever since you were this little!"
"You are my pride and joy, my little sweetie!"
"I still remember when you were like this when you were little and we took you to the hospital and everyone thought we were crazy because there couldn't be a real girl as pretty as you!"

"Dad!"

Momo was extremely embarrassed about how her father was talking, Adelis who was nearby could be seen laughing a little, because I am sure he understood why he was saying all that. I on the other hand was sitting on the couch next to momo, but I was shrinking, because I didn't feel like talking, after all I wasn't good with situations like these,  I never thought that the day would come when I would have to sit down and talk to someone who I would call father-in-law in a nice way. The last father-in-law I had, I had to gouge his eyes and kill him. And speaking of eyes, it seems the glass girl couldn't resist asking the most obvious question.

"What happened to your eye?"
"Are you hurt? Why haven't you seen a doctor?"

"Oh this?"
"It's nothing, I lost my eye in a fight in Valhalla a month ago."
"Some idiot kept seeing me ugly so I took a beer bottle and smashed it over his head."
"One thing led to another and it all triggered a huge fight, you should have seen me"
"I knocked down two guys with one kick."
"I haven't had time to visit the doctor"

"Uh-huh, you?" 
"Did you visit Valhalla, the bar in the heaven best known for its round-the-clock fights and tough people?"
"A place visited by people who have dedicated their whole lives to fighting, warriors like Beowolf"
"You, you got into a bar fight in Valhalla and knocked down two warriors with one kick?"
"Against people known for killing Frost Giants like Thor or equivalents?"

Momo was quite reluctant to believe what her father was telling her, although, well, she was right not to disbelieve him either.

"Well everybody was a little bit drunk"
"It's not like everyone was good at keeping their balance during that moment even before the fight."

"Mom knows about it, right?"
"Where is she?"

"Ha.. she .... well.... she was feeling a little bad after the spacecraft failed and she had to make an emergency landing"
"...."
"Yes that was it!... And then.... well... you know...."
"Did that .... have that meeting with her friends .... what was it called?.... The pink ladies! Yeah that! .... so... she didn't have any days off to come over"
"But she... she... let me come to visit you anyway"
"Yes that was it!"

Mr. Kaikeishi kept holding his tie and sweating, he clearly did not want to talk about it, which made him very suspicious, even Momo's face reflected her doubts trying to believe what his father was telling her.

"May I ask why you have that ugly necklace?"
"Isn't it a bit heavy?"
"It looks like a slave's collar, it doesn't suit you at all" say the angel that looks like a criminal 

"Oh, this?"
"Hehe.... well... it's for fashion... yeah that's it...."
"The.... people here ..... people here think it's quite nice to have a big necklace .... so I wanted to have one too..."

"Is it so? Maybe you are right, in the way here I see a maid cafe with a lot of girls wearing one of those big black chokers"

The situation was so uncomfortable that she decided to change the subject better before another embarrassing thing was mentioned again, unfortunately, she wasn't smart enough either and I chose the only topics I didn't want to talk about.

"She is Elise, I mean he is Cesar."
"Yes Cesar, that's it!"
"He, she, is my husband, I  think"
"She used to be a man but now she's a girl"
"Don't ask about her body shape or why she doesn't wear underwear"

"But what did I do to you? Why did you take it out on me?"
"Why the gratuitous violence? I was just here quietly without messing with anyone."

But momo responded with a hidden nudge, reinforcing the idea that she didn't want to go back to the previous topic and wanted a new one, no matter the price or who it would take down.

"Hello, how are you!"
"My name is Cesar, at your service, with pleasure."

And the truth is, who was I kidding, I wasn't good at these situations either, I didn't even know what to say to try to reduce the awkwardness of the situation with Momo and her father. My mother, seeing the hardship that the three of us were going through, decided to intervene urgently and propose a new topic of conversation, perhaps a little more pleasant.

"I must admit Mr. Kaikeishi that you had me surprised"
"When Momo told me that her father was coming to visit us, well I have to admit that I was a little curious about his appearance"
"Although you certainly look vastly different from what I thought Momo's father would look like."
"You look quite a bit more.... fleshy?"

"Oh my looks?"
"Yes people are surprised all the time that she is my daughter"
"I must admit that when she was born everyone in the hospital room was extremely surprised"
"I still remember how the doctor called a colleague of his to check if something had gone wrong"
"Not all angels are the same, some are very different from what you might consider a living thing, even between parents and children there can sometimes be big differences."
"It turns out that less than three crystal angels are born every million years"
"And well our Momo was one of the blessed few."
"Her mother always said she knew our daughter would be special, we just didn't expect her to be so early in life"
"Ha Ha Ha Ha!"

I am sure my mother was not referring to the fact that he was not made of glass.

"I'm sorry but I have to ask, but is your last name really  that "Tomei", transparent in Japanese?"

"Yes that's right Mrs. Adelis"
"Even I am surprised by the coincidence"

"Hehe, your last name is transparent?"
"Momo Transparent?"
"Hahaha"

Even I couldn't keep quiet and take a little revenge for what she did moments ago.

"It's Momo Tomei, not transparent please"
"Besides, it's not anymore, that's why I changed my last name as soon as I could"

"But why!?"
"Do you have any idea how much that hurts my little heart my baby?"
"Your name is as beautiful as the blue sky and as bright as the sunlight that you are shining right now."

As soon as momo finished listening to her father, she raised her hand, grabbed her halo of light and threw it back without thinking twice to where it landed, no doubt someone was quite upset even if she didn't say it directly.

"Can I ask you dad why the hell are you looking like a yakuza now?"

The glass girl, now full of thirst for revenge, went straight to ask about the subject we were politely trying not to touch.

"What are you talking about?"
"I've always looked like this, don't you remember?"
"Since that... day... yes that day..."
"The day I taught that paladin nerd not to mess with my forensic audit study section and how to easily find various financial frauds that some humans commit and that can be used as charges in a trial"
"He called me a boring nerd and I took him to the ground and gave him a good right blow"

"You knock someone down, someone like a paladin?"
"The ones who for the entrance exam have to stop the impact of a wooden log to their abdomen without using their hands?"
"The same paladins who are Space Marines two and a half meters tall and as wide as a bus?"

"He was in training"
"...."
"Starting it"

"Mom calls you noodle arms all the time."
"When we shopped for groceries mom and I carried the bags"

"Well I'm sorry for the delay but lunch is ready."
"Please everyone come to the table"
"Enjoy it now while it's hot!"

My mother once again saving the conversation showed up with something new to calm things down a bit, I must say that although I am not talking much I am enjoying it quite a bit, although at the expense of Momo and her father. The rest of the visit was much more normal, we talked about the food, and our family back in Costa Rica, he talked about how Rafael seemed to be using his company Nexus to keep the accounts of some of his scams, I mean ventures inherited by bad decisions, and how he somehow seemed to be making an investment fund called "Venganza Picante" and how all his profits were being used in an account to hire professional pranksters, like champions from previous years of the Celestial Security Section Summer Party, authentic mercenary prophecies that are capable of reducing those space marines that Momo talks about to tears.

Later, Mr. Kaikeishi received a call that seemed to be very urgent, because it scared him and he had to leave quickly back somewhere, although at least he clarified that it was not Momo's mother, but something related to his work, even so to us and to the glass girl it seemed very strange the behavior of that man.

The most bizarre thing happened shortly after, when Saeko called the house from the coffee shop, indicating that a few minutes before there had been a kidnapping in front of the store and the police were on their way. Checking the security cameras with my daughters we could see that it was Mr. Kaikeishi who had been approached and forcibly mounted in a black car that undoubtedly belonged to the Yakuzas, the real ones.

What the hell is wrong with this guy?
