[Welco to Green Room. Enjoy your visit.]
Elisa entered the famous large tubular building. The only place that has a bright atmosphere in the region.
"Wooow!"
As soon as Elisa entered the room, she imdiately fell in love with the atmosphere.
"It's a great place, right?"
The old man who take care of her asking with a proud note.
"Yes! This place very much reminds of Land of Nod vibe."
That place is within a building, the building in the darkest city on Floor 2. But it had a very fresh air. Elisa inhaled as much of the fresh air as possible.
"Historically, the Spear Saint is the one who ordered to build this place. A place where we can make an escape from all the chaos. If he didn't give that order, maybe this place wouldn't have been built and there wouldn't be a place this quiet in the city."
Elisa amazed at the short story Roger told. "I know very little about the Spear Saint because not many books tell about his story. But after arriving at this place and listening to all the stories from you sir and Sir Arlene, I ca to know that the Spear Saint is just as great as the other two Light Saints."
Their chat continued during the trip to the midpoint of the Green Room.
Roger smiled smugly. "Well, the Staff Saint is a Saint full of Love, Compassion and Gentleness. The Sword Saint is the strongest Saint among the four, Full of Concentration, Strength, and also of Loyalty. As for the Spear Saint, he is the most Free, Unbound, and also has a high sense of Leadership. Not many have written about her because she didn't want her story to be written, the reason is that she is still alive and well."
In Roger's last sentence, there was a hint of regret expressed on the amused face.
The last sentence is a fact. Of the three Light Saints, the Spear Saint is still alive and is now on the 3rd Floor. Freely still on an adventure to carry out the dreams of humanity, to the deepest place in the Abyss.
Elisa ca to know things about the underrated Saint from the old collagues and surprised at one fact.
"Spear Saint is, a woman?"
To Elisa's surprise, Roger laughed with amusent.
"It's funny because it's true. Yes, she is a, literal strong woman."
Elisa got speechless for a few monts. Then open her mouth to express a statent.
"I thought all the Saint is a man."
Roger laughed again at the girl's innocence. "Actually, she is not very much a woman. She act like a gorilla all the ti."
"Gorilla?!"
"She likes to drink and hardly got drunk. She screams when she speaks. Hard to stop when she enjoy a battle. Never left a day to co to the Sword Saint for a challenge that would always be rejected. Being the youngest of the Four made her beca spoiled to Staff Saint." Roger takes a mont to sigh. "What a troubleso girl."
Without realizing it, Roger complaining about the Saint being talked about in nostalgia and longing. He can't help it because the Spear Saint, his leader, in a deeper place below Floor 2, adventuring with Hunters who still hoped to move forward.
For Elisa - she suddenly heard a unique, adorable voice from one direction.
'Aha! Ahaha!'
Like a bloodthirsty beast, Elisa sniffed the scent from the source of that adorable voice.
"Where is it?!"
Roger fell in confusion. "Wh-what is it you want to find, girl?"
"That adorable, and cute voices."
Roger pointed upfront. "If that, from there ..."
Elisa flashed quickly towards the designated location, which is in the middle of the Green Room, where the fountain located.
At the center point of the Green Room, a little girl is running cheerfully around the fountain. Once in a mont she got close to the pool and played water with her hands.
She is a bright, cheerful little girl with pale skin and white hair. She is not alone; she is with a man who stood facing the fountain in silence.
Even though the man with her doesn't care about her existence, she cheerfully playing alone, enjoying the ti she had. Until a woman ca to her with a bloodthirsty expression.
"Co here, little girl."
The invitation ca with the woman's mouth drooling.
"No, help!"
She frantically ran over to the man and embraced the man's leg.
Elisa had unknowingly scared the little girl and made the little girl's father angry.
"Uh-oh, I am sorry, it's just your daughter, is so cute I find it hard to Ars!"
The little girl's father is the man with the little girl is actually Ars, the man Elisa is looking for.
"What are you doing?" asked Ars.
At that question, Elisa got angry. "No, I should be the one asking! What are you doing in this city?! and who is that little girl?!"
Ars took a mont to delay the answer. Looking at the worried little girl, then answer: "She is my daughter."
"Wha-!"
Like a scene struck by lightning in a soap opera drama scene. Elisa got shocked.
"Wha-what are you- h-how... Since when?!"
"Pfft!"
Elisa was seriously angry with him. But Ars about to laugh by turning his head instead. This further raised Elisa's tension.
Unexpectedly, the little girl advanced into the gap between the two adults. She is afraid and worried, but took the courage to speak.
"Please don't be mad at Mister Kind, Madam!"
That little request lt Elisa's heart.
With a gentle and honest expression, she squatted down to fit the little girl's height.
"What is your na, little girl?" asked Elisa in sincere.
Elisa only asked the na of the little girl. But sohow the little girl got confused.
That worried Elisa. 'Does she did not know her own na?'
Elisa didn't bla that, after all, the little girl looked like she is three or four years old. But at least, her parents did gave her a na to rember.
"Aina."
The one who answered was not the little girl. But Ars.
Elisa got up and gave Ars an expression of disdain. "Aina? Is that the na her parents gave her, or...?"
Ars returned Elisa's serious gaze with a relaxed gaze. "Her na is, Aina."
Ars said it casually, but sounded serious, and Elisa annoyed by it.
"A-yi-na?"
As the atmosphere between them is hot, an adorable little voice, trying to spell a na, could be heard from below.
"Ayi-na. Ayina."
"No, little girl."
Elisa squatted again and looked at the little girl gently.
"It's Aina. Arranged in three syllables. Spelled, A-I-NA."
The little girl, Aina, was amazed at Elisa's attitude and teaching she began to follow Elisa.
"A-I,-NA."
"Yes, that's it! Aina!"
"Aina."
"Yes, you did it!"
Elisa hugged Aina out of joy and excitent. Aina could not do nothing except received her fate.
"Nice to et you, Aina! My na is Elisa! And I am not old enough to be called madam! You can call big sister instead!"
"Big sister?"
"Yes, bis sister Elisa!"
"Big sister Elisa?"
"YES!"
Elisa embraced Aina again, tighter and more excited than before Aina started to feel tight..
"Hey, Ars, who is this cute little creature parents?!"
Elisa looked up and asked Ars. But Ars has disappeared.
"You are her parent now."
Without realizing it Ars had moved to the outer side of the road, erecting two pillars that beca the foundation of his hammock.
"What? What do you an by that?!"
Ars imdiately snorted at Elisa's question. Elisa got furious.
"Big sister!"
"Yes, what is it, Aina?!"
Elisa's anger imdiately turned to joy because of Aina.
"Mister Doctor said, my parents is on the outside of this world. So I need to get well soon so I can et my parents."
A depressed sentence uttered by the mouth of an innocent little girl.
"Who is she, Elisa?"
Old man Roger finally arrived at the fountain and found Elisa is with a strange little girl.
Seeing the big old man Roger, Aina innocently stared curiously.
"She is my little sister, Mr. Roger! Her na is Aina!"
Once again Elisa hugged Aina while pressed their faces.
Roger squatted down and looked at the curious Aina. She looks like curious because of Roger's hair.
"We have, sa hair, right?"
At Roger's question, Aina sohow enduring sothing. Her body trembled slightly and her mouth wanted to widen.
Elisa got worried at that. But Roger told her to calm.
"Are you sick too, sir?"
That the first sentence Aina gave to Roger.
That question brought pain to Elisa's heart.
However, Roger asked that with a gentle and strong smile.
"Yes. Our illnesses may be different. But because our hair is the sa color, it ans we are friends."
Aina got surprised at Roger's last sentence.
"Friends? What is the aning of that word, mister?"
"Uuhh, that ans, we can play together, and..."
"Play together?!"
Roger got a little surprised because the little girl suddenly shouted.
"Want you play with , mister?!"
"That's a pretty misleading question, but, yeah, let's play together."
"Yeah! I have friend and we will play together!"
Aina is full of happiness. The happiness made her jump for joy, and soone cried.
"Elisa?"
Elisa is the one who crying.
It made Aina very worried, but she didn't know what to do.
Elisa walked to Ars, shakes the man, and asked: "Hey, do you have sothing, a toy, for us to play?"
"I only have swords, and weapons."
"Other than weapon?"
"Do rocks also included into the category of weapons?"
"How much do you have?"
"How much do you need?"
"Give three, no, six."
"Here."
Ars dropped six rocks into Elisa's hand.
Elisa first wiped her tears. After finishing, she cheerfully turned around and shouted: "Let's play!"
Elisa's scream brought happiness to Aina.
"Let's play!"
"Let's play together!"
"Let's play together!"
The two young girl excitedly scream and running to one place to play together.
Roger got left behind. But before he catch up with the girls, he first walk closer to the pretending to sleep man, and asked:
"I have so much question for you. But for now, thanks for the rocks."
"Don't worry about it."
After that short conversation, Roger went to the two young girls who had been waiting for his arrival.
"Mister, right here!"
"Co in."
Due to a sick little girl, they beco a source of noise in the Green Room. But their loud noises add a sense of happiness to the room. More liven up the atmosphere of the room.
