A new member to the family

[abare_gokutor]

Well, this has been something that's been supposed to happen for a while. But what with everything going on...I always put it back. But today the paperwork was finalized, and there's a new member to the Tachibana family. I've finally finished adopting a lovely seven year old girl called Tachibana Renge. She'll be living with me for now and hanging around the deli, I suppose.

Here she is in her new school uniform:



Well, I suppose you'll all meet her shortly, anyway. She's a little angel (though her handwriting could really use some work). I'm sorry for keeping everybody in the dark...but I wasn't sure whether the paperwork would really be approved ^^;

Now that Renge's finally part of my family...I suppose I'm now looking for a proper house. I don't think my deli's attic is big enough for both of us and she definitely hasn't got enough room to move around and do homework. Any help with finding listings would be brilliant.

And Momoshiro-kun, would you like to start on Monday?

Congratulations to your fatherhood! She's cute! And seems to be a nice girl~
Though, it's a bit surprising. Come over to visit with her sometime!

It...was surprising for me too, if I'm frank ^^; I've known Renge for something close to a year now, but she got the idea into her head around May...and has pestered and persuaded me into adopting her. She is the master of persuasion tactics.

You have a kid?

I hope you're moving. You can't keep a kid in a closet, Tachibana-san.

[abare-gokutor.livejournal.com]

Now I do. You'll see her tomorrow, most likely.

And yes, definitely moving. Though, she loves my attic and wants a bedroom like it now...

Uh... I hate to be awkward, but could it be tuseday? Or... umm... I could start at 2 on monday?

And congratulations on the newest addition to your home! She looks very sweet.

Tuesday's fine with me, Momoshiro-kun.

And thank you. She is.

Congrats on the kid, that's...really something. Got to say I'm surprised, but you'll be a great father, Tachibana-san.

If you need help with accommodation I can get you a nice house.

I was surprised also. But what Renge wants, Renge gets :/ ...do you think so? I hope so.

I can pay for it myself, but I would appreciate some listings. I haven't the first idea where to start.

He wants help with finding the house, not buying it, Kamio. You should respect that.

[Screened to Kamio] However, if you have your PA help him find the place, you can pre-purchase the one he likes and sell it to him through a third party for a reasonable amount. Just saying...

You adopted a kid!? And you didn't bother giving anyone a heads up!? That's mean, Kippei.

Can I play with her?

[abare-gokutor.livejournal.com]

Sorry. Like I said...I wasn't even sure if the papers would be approved.

Of course. Renge wants to meet everybody important to me and she'll appreciate it.

Congratulations on the new member of your family, Tachibana.

You know, when I suggested that you find a replacement for your dog...I was rather thinking that you'd get another dog...not a daughter.

[abare-gokutor.livejournal.com]

Ha, no, Renge isn't a replacement for Gokutor. An got me a dog for my birthday as well. Renge just...sort of insisted that she join my family. And what she wants, she gets. And I wasn't all that opposed to the idea either.

Strong willed, ahn? Where are you sending her to school?

[abare-gokutor.livejournal.com]

Currently, she's going to Fudomine's elementary. But I'd like to move her to Hikarigaoka Elementary School next year, so she can easily go to Seigaku in middle school.

[atoberex.livejournal.com]

Seigaku, huh?

[abare-gokutor.livejournal.com]

Ahh, it's close to the deli and one of the better schools in the area.

(ooc: Sorry Atobe, Tachibana's not gonna send Renge to Hyotei XD)
