Very interesting and different

While James has his eyes on the road, Ikumi looks around with wide eyes. "It's really nice around here. It's very green and a lot of people walk around" she says as they pass a pair of pedestrians. It is a man who is walking hand in hand with a smiling face next to a Lucy from Fairy Tale.

They continue driving and slowly there are more houses. The green becomes less and soon they drive into the city center. "It almost looks like my place in Japan here" Ikumi says. "Only the architecture is a little different.

"Would be funny if it wasn't, wouldn't it?" replies James, who has just stopped at a traffic light. "Look!" exclaims Ikumi. "There's Rosalina." She points at the pedestrians, who have just turned green. Sure enough, one of the pedestrians is a Rosalina, but she looks a little different from James's.

"She sure has... big boobs" Ikumi thinks as she crosses the street. "It's probably a mod" James ponders. "A lot of owners want to improve their characters. I'm not a fan of external mods. After all, why would I want to change a character I buy? I'm just going to get the ones that I think are pretty as they are."

Out of the corner of his eye, he sees Ikumi blush as the traffic light is about to turn green. He looks back at the road and continues. "Do you think I'm pretty, too?" Ikumi asks, unsure.

"Of course I think that Ikumi. Why do you ask?" he asks with interest. "Well you've... never tried... to sleep with me" Ikumi replies sheepishly. Oh that's right, back then I was using the mod and making her compliant, James reflects.

"I wanted to give you some space to settle in. Do you want to sleep with me then?" asks James with a grin. "I-I um... don't know," Ikumi replies shyly, looking sideways out the window.

"I'll make you a deal. If you want tonight, you can come to my room. If not is ok too, you decide." "Ok... thank you" Ikumi says softly in a sweet voice. Before anything else can happen, however, James turns and drives up a driveway to the DMV.

James and Ikumi get out of the car. They are standing in front of an office building with several floors. "Let's go," James says and grabs Ikumi's hand. She immediately blushes again and looks to the side, embarrassed. However, she does not pull her hand away. So they go together to the driver's license office.

It takes just under an hour for the two of them to leave the driver's license office. It took longer to check if Ikumi is allowed to drive and with the help of a simulator she managed it.

"Thanks," she says with a grin as they get back into the car. "You're welcome. It's easier for you guys to drive around and I don't always have to come along." With a smile, Ikumi drives off and James looks out the window.

James explains to Ikumi the way to the next bank. It takes them another 45 minutes to get out of this one. This time James is holding a new card. "I'll keep the credit card for now until you take your first ride. Remember, I see everything down to the smallest detail of what is purchased here before, so just important yes?" he says teasingly. "Yeah," Ikumi replies, but she has to laugh.

"Alright, I'll still show you the way to the nearest mall. You can go there sometime when you go clothes shopping and I'll show you the way to the market, you can get fresh food there."

The two drive around for a while and James shows Ikumi the city. While doing so, he explains to her where all sorts of things can be found and Ikumi listens intently as she drives.

They arrive back home shortly after 2 o'clock in the afternoon. Ikumi parks the car in the driveway and they go inside. Ram greets them at the door. "I'm glad you're back" she then says. "Thank you Ram" they both reply and walk inside.

Ikumi goes straight to the kitchen and starts cooking lunch. "Master? How are the new ones?" asks Ram, who is still standing next to him. "Well, the first one is quite sweet, if you're sweet to her. The other two... good question. It depends on how they settle in here. One of the two I think will spend a lot of time with Hermione in the library. Hopefully she'll manage to befriend her a bit."

"Oh, I see," is all Ram replies. James reaches out and touches her cheek. "Don't worry Ram. I won't neglect you. You will always be my sweet maid." Ram blushes and smiles. "Thank you Master" she says sweetly and then goes upstairs to prepare the room.

Just as James is about to head to the living room, the doorbell rings. He goes to it and opens it.
