Part 1 ~ On the Other Side…
[Mana]
//Today in Fashion News, Eternal Butterfly a new Gothic and Lolita based fashion range is growing ever so popular. Is this trouble for Mana-sama and his label, Moi-Meme Moitie? Or is there something more below the Surface of these two companies?// the female reporter says until the silent man turns the TV off in disgust. He has heard of the new company and couldn’t believe how quickly they developed from a minor to a major store within the time period of three months. A soft knock at the door caught his attention.
“Come in” Mana softly says as Hime, one of his assistants walks in.
“Mana-sama, have you heard the vicious rumors spreading?” the girl asks as Mana simply nods. “I know all the workers there, they are not all that pleased and they don’t mean you any harm sir” Hime says as Mana simply looks at her.
“How well do you know them?” he asks flatly as he motions Hime to sit across from him, which she does adjusting her dress in the process.
“Extremely well sir, I am Chi’s cousin as well as Chou and Hiro” Hime replies as this catches Mana’s attention.
“Continue”
“Well, Chi is smart, really smart. She originally started designing clothing when she was six, finished high school about 8 years later and has pursued a career through fashion designing since she was going through Uni. Then as everyone knows she started Eternal Butterfly three months ago as a trial and therefore it became what it is today. You know a lot of what I just said nobody knows about. Now Hiro, she is considered to be the Owner in disguise, she is also intelligent like Chi and has been helping her ever since they could remember. Hiro is the main model” Hime says as she flicks through the magazine on Mana’s desk and shows him the picture of a pale girl dressed in a gothic looking kimono, with spider designs all over it. Her face was blank and held her pose well, Mana takes the magazine and looks at the story on it, he also motions for Hime to continue.
“Hiro can also design and create things from nothing. Her schooling is identical to Chi’s but she received a higher score, then again information on Hiro is restricted like Chi’s but since I know them, I could tell you more later, but back to their careers. Hiro like Kiku, I’ll explain Kiku later, runs the store a large chunk of the time with Chi and so far only the people in the store has seen Chi and myself have seen her. Hiro is the main model Chi uses, she reminds everyone so strongly of a doll that’s why she is mostly seen” Hime informs as she sighs and starts talking about the four other members of the Eternal Butterfly company, but Mana lost interest in the others. His thoughts strayed on the owner, Chi and the model Hiro.
