West Station / Night
Two days before New Year /
In the usual Inn restaurant, a party is held by one certain large group of two influential business executives under the hands of a great Hunter.
In one certain table, Elisa sat with the wife of one of the executives, and not feeling well.
"Are you okay, Elisa?" asked Latifa.
"I'm okay, it's just, the atmosphere is too crowded."
White Wood and Lee Wai's company employees 90% of all of them are n. All of them are enjoying the party to their heart's content. Screaming their enjoynt, drinking until so of them are vomit, dancing, and most importantly to deepen their relationship.
While the n are very much enjoying themselves, the ladies create a social barrier around their leader, Latifa, that didn't allow the n to enter.
Even though the n noises is still bothering them.
"You can get back first if you want."
"No-no, I am fine. I just need to get used to this atmosphere."
Elisa's determination convinced Latifa. "Well, it's okay to say that you can't stay for long. Because honestly, if Jimmy is not forced to co as that person's order, we will not co to this party."
Latifa represents all the ladies annoyed.
Elisa can only wryly smile to respond to that, and wondering.
"Just what Ars planning on having a eting at tis like this?"
"Right?" asked Latifa in irritated. "That is the problem. Why would he bother talking about business when everyone is having fun?"
"A-haha."
Once again, Elisa can only wryly smiles on responding to that.
"They are finally done!"
One lady in the group pointed at Jimmy, Lee Wai, and Randi that finally back from the eting with feeling dizzy.
The three of them back to their group table. Jimmy joined Latifa and Elisa.
"Huuuhhhh~"
Jimmy's sigh tells Latifa and Elisa that he felt disappointed, tired, and can't do anything except accept his fate.7
But before he begins to complaining, he looks at Elisa. "Little Miss. Ars called you to co to his room."
"?"
Elisa wondering. Why did the leader of her party asked her to co to his room, only she herself? Well, considering he had called her twice back then, and they end up sleeping in the sa bed - "Wait, isn't that supposed to be a cri?"
There is no such a police in Abyssal Terra, so who is going to uphold justice?
"O-oh yeah, that's right."
Elisa gives up and enters the party leader's room.
"I am here."
The room is dark, the source of light is only from the open window where Ars sit to outside.
If Ars called her, then there must be sothing that the man wants from Elisa. Let's just hope it is not a weird thing again.
"Is there anything I could help?" asked Elisa softly.
Ars pointed to one certain table. "Brew so tea."
That is, just a normal request.
"O-ok."
In the table, there are several variants of tea.
After a quick thinking, Elisa finally brew a tea that fits the atmosphere.
"Here."
The tea was put in Ars' chair-table.
The tea is not that hot, so Ars imdiately drink the tea.
'That fast!?'
That shocked Elisa a bit.
After finishing the tea, Ars let out one quite long sigh.
"Huuuuuuuuuuhhhh~"
Just like Jimmy, Lee Wai, and Randi, he also seed to be exhausted.
Elisa wants so show so concern for the man, but he is just very closed. He never even showed the slightest emotion to Elisa. That makes Elisa always doubt how to respond to the man.
"What do you want?"
Suddenly the man asked sothing.
"Eh, pardon?"
What do you want?
Elisa didn't mishear it. But, the question being asked without context. So Elisa confused on how to respond.
"You are working hard this past half a year. So, what do you want?"
Elisa racked her brains, trying to understand what Ars is trying to say.
****____****##**)___((#%%%
[Ars wants to give you a gift, but don't know what to give so he asked you 'what do you want?']
That is, quite a hard way on expressing your concern to others.
But "I' don't know what I wanted for the ti being."
That is because that is so sudden. Elisa didn't expect that the Greedy man would ask her about what she want, and that will be her gift.
In that answer, Ars sighed again, not because mad or anything, maybe just tired and wanted so rest.
After that, the atmosphere beca silent. Elisa doesn't know what to talk. Ars seems won't to open his mouth either. So they stay in that atmosphere for about a few minutes until soone suddenly snoring.
The person who is snoring, who else if not the only man in the room.
Elisa shocked at first. A cold, greedy man like Ars have this side when sleeping.
"*Snore~*"
It was shocking, and ridiculous at the sa ti.
Elisa burst in silent laugh.
Now she thinks of it; back then they had slept together in the sa bed twice. But Elisa had never seen that the cold man was snoring in his sleep.
However, Elisa also finds that the cold man is imperfect when he was trying to be seen perfect by people.
He is just her ordinary-working-hard man. Who can fall asleep exhausted and show his weakness only for her.
Unconsciously, she pats the sleeping prince's head. She doesn't know why she does that, it's just feel good when she pats the sleeping prince's head, even if only for that very mont.
The usual mighty Greedy man now has beco a helpless sleeping prince.
'What do you want?'
Elisa didn't know the answer for that question before. But now, she realized, such a simple thing could bring her happiness wrapped in an intangible gift.
"If you are just like an ordinary heroic main character, I might be..."
