Chapter 13: Washing

“Unemployment wake up!”

“Unemployment wake up!”

“Unemployment wake up!”

“Unemployment wake up!”

“Unemployment b—.”

The digital clock alarm instantly stopped after being booted was shattered by the fist of a man who had just woken up.

This morning in space his face is sad, less eager to live the day. Astan yawned as wide as he could, tasted his mouth a few times then wiped the iler with slightly narrowed eyes because it was still sleepy.

For a moment his silver-yellow heterochrome eyes looked sinlessly at the pieces of the digital clock on the nightstand that had been shattered by his own actions.

“Her alarms disturb.”

….

Wake up and shower.

Not forgetting to brush your teeth.

Who's going to take a shower? If only his cabin neighbors cute girls, already as fast as the light he nolongin. In this cabin, Astan only lives alone.

The plan today is that Astan will take on a mission with Arni to help the girl level up. But, the activity is still two hours away. So, there is still free time for Astan.

Incidentally, the laundry is already piled up.

...~*~*~*~...

“This used clothes help Suda fix the reactor engine yesterday, if this one was exposed to the blood of a bantet gecko, this does not accidentally splash into the sewers of the ship. Lsh…! Lots of clothes that must be washed.”

While carrying a full laundry basket, Astan walked through the cabin corridor to where Laundry was still on the Residential Deck.

Arriving there, the special place of public washing did not look so crowded. Most of those who look only middle-aged mothers are washing in each washing machine, including some who bring children.

Walk towards one of the washing machines. At first he wanted to put his clothes in the washing machine, but he paused when he saw the washing tariff list. Both eyes narrowed when reading the list of tariffs.

“ 15 Dt ironing wash, 20 Dt daily lightning wash, 13 Dt ironless dry washing. Lah, how expensive really, yak?”

Baffled by the soaring washing tariffs, Astan began to ask one of the robots who happened to be on guard.

“Oi, Cuy!”

The robot looked.

“This price of washing here is on expensive, anyway? Usually not so soon, deh,” asked Astan wonder.

“Ooo…. That price went up because the Crystal Core on this ship was about to run out. Until now there were still no hunters from the Bronze Rank up who went towards the Dungeon to retrieve the Crystal Core. He said, Dungeons-Dungeons are now getting harder, while the number of hunters in these Guilds is getting less because many die when they go to Dungeon.”

That's what the robot said. Dungeons are mysterious places where all creatures of all kinds are dangerous. Usually in the Dungeon will be found many Crystal Core that can only be found there. These crystalline cores are commonly used as space ship fuel in addition to solar panels and nuclear reactors.

Besides containing many Crystal Core, Dungeons also had many good Items. For hundreds of years the appearance of Portal Dungeon in the universe, until now still no one knows the cause of its appearance. Scientists and experts in this matter still need to investigate further.

Although the Dungeon still holds many mysteries, there are still many hunters who go there to try to conquer it. The results obtained after completing the Dungeon were only two, namely living by carrying many Crystal Core and Precious Items, or dying needlessly stayed a name.

If until the Crystal Core runs out, then the various energies that are in this space ship, such as electricity, water, to oxygen producers will die.

Indeed, there are still solar panels as an alternative energy source, but there are times when the energy produced is less than optimal. Sometimes the orbital position if it is behind the Darzia Natural Satellite, it will not be able to get light energy from the parent star. Nuclear reactors are not used in general, because they are too high risk of severe radiation effects.

“Aduh... Can this department..,” murmur Instant.

“Mean, must be thrifty first until the Crystal Core has been able,” timpal the robot, “If no hunter has managed to get the Crystal Core from the Dungeon, and, it was likely that this Guild party would purchase a Crystal Core in another Guild that was near here as well.”

If you had to buy it to another Guild, it would definitely cost you a lot more, while these Guilds themselves would sometimes still struggle in terms of economy.

The money earned from the Thornic Guild usually came from the sale of meat and vegetables, simple weaponry, to simple machines as well. It was usually sold to other Guilds in need, or to a few planets in the solar system here. Sometimes they also send their merchandise to people who work on Planet GT624 terraforming projects or on passing colony ships.

“Wow! If washing in the washing machine has gone up in price, it means electricity and others as well..”.

Rush counts the amount of expenses for the current costs that go up on his phone. Not play…. You should think extra to make savings from now on.

“Goat hunter…! Why on no one goes to the Dungeon, anyway. Ship energy on thinning, nih!”

Astan continued to nag himself, the face panel of the robot was astonished to see it.

Continues, he will nag as well, ‘If only I were Bronze Rank to the top, I would definitely go to Dungeon.’ Though in fact lazy to the Dungeon to the ubun-ubun.

“Haaah..”.

Astan sighed, staring puzzledly at the fate of the nelangsa of his laundry basket.

If not washed now, continue tomorrow-tomorrow want to wear what clothes? It is impossible ‘kan Astan walk around the ship with a beautiful trunk dangling. He could have been thumped by mothers using their legendary pot.

Yesaa…. Even though the size is good, Astan still does not want to show off. Put the other males on the minder.

In confusion over the fate of his laundry, Astan finds a booth that is usually used to bathe the crew before the Guild on this ship is formed.

“Hei, Bot.”

“I am a robot, not a bottle, Sir.”

“I-iya, I know!” He pointed at the room. “That's the place where the former crew bath before the Guild was formed, right?”

“Iya.”

“By nyuci there, no?”

For a moment the robot thought. “Bby. But not free, anyway.”

“Well, why not free?” Astan did not accept. “Luci manual, Bot…. Hand wear. How much do you pay, anyway?”

The robot held out one hand. “Free 1 Dt make pay air.”

Astan stared at the robot.

….

It was in the bathroom that Astan washed alone. The room was quite spacious, only separated by white dividers.

His big hands shrewdly rubbed, dipped, slammed his own laundry, and rubbed back with a manly spirit.

“Disposable Elpiji…. Eat side dish tempe…. Wash the clothes like this…. Sleep ama bolsters..” Singing Astan while washing.

“Adooooh…! Gini-gini very lucky bujang, eey!”nagging Astan while slamming and rubbing laundry. “What do it yourself. Economy also kere, looks mediocre with codet on its own face. How would anyone like me?!”

After Astan slammed the laundry, then he stepped on the pile of cloth.

“Down now, girls who want the same attention we are difficult. What you see is money first. Bodo very face jamet, belly as wide as hangar. If there is a lot of money, a girl as good as Neng Jubaedah from SitKom Engkong Sutris will also be an impromptu slave. Isha! Isha! Ish...!!!”

While washing full of anger so, two young teenagers who had passed behind the room saw it. They whispered to each other, mocking Astan's strange behavior as it passed.

“Cowok is why, anyway? Crazy, huh?”

“Not know Astan? He is an Iron Rank hunter who is considered strange is the same one Guild.”

“Oooh…. So, he's a clown Guild Thornic.”

The teenager had his black hair. “You could say that. Hehe…. Funny to hear him protest the fate of his singles. Salah himself rank still stuck alone in iron for six months. Try if he is diligent in hunting, will certainly rise higher ranks, and will be dapetin many girls.”

“Ooo…. So, that's why you joined the Guild as well as a hunter?”

With the pedenya the young man replied, “Iya, dung. I've completed several Level D missions. He also entered the Iron Rank Level 13. Not that rich clown Guild, I will be more diligent in leveling up. And if my rank and level are high, I can become the strongest, can scent the name of our Guild, and can build a Harem myself.”

“Woaaah…! Collecting girls this story.”

The young man cleared his throat, “Ehek! Is clear…! Girls hunters like strong men with high rank and level, not just look at the treasure doang. I'm going to collect a lot of hunter-gatherer girls in my Squad, who are great and cute. Some are cute, some are just big busty..”.

His partner's head bobbles. “Aduh…. Her shadow made her moan. If you know that, I also want to join as a hunter, dah.”

“Gabung, go! We will build our own Harem, filled with great girls and—.”

“Wah…! It's really cool, here. Again chat what?”

Suddenly the two young men accidentally met with Arni who was about to enter the Laundry place. The girl seemed to be smiling kindly, but they replied with a flat face.

“Indeed why it? Not your business either.”

“My-nots, hmm...?”

Arni seemed to give an even more mysterious smile to the two young men.

Hm…. There are fish smells here.
