After a long time passing through a very long path, the three of them finally arrived at a house. The house has lights on, indicating that the occupants are still awake. In addition to the lights, this house looks very simple with 2 floors and white cement walls. Also, there is a fairly wide courtyard accompanied by a yard.
*tock!* *tok!* *tok!*
The three of them went straight to the house and knocked on the door.
“Log in!” answer a voice from inside the house.
The sound sounded small and cute. It sounded like the voice came from a young girl about 8 years old. That's all, there's nothing really out of it other than sounding cute.
“Excuse me, sorry to interrupt.” Noctis opened the door, then went straight inside followed by Theresa and Sophia.
“Very rarely have guests in this house. What business do you guys have coming here?” An 18-year-old teenager pointed his friendly smile at Noctis.
Adi Prawijaya is a high school boy who has dropped out of school because he does not have enough money to continue his education. Actually, he could have asked his parents for help, but he did not like to bother them. As a result, he moved to his grandfather's house in this village and accidentally even felt comfortable living with fine creatures in this place.
His appearance is not very extraordinary. He had dense black hair that was not too long, but also not short. His eyes are bright brown so clear that it looks clearly bright brown. His skin is bright yellow. Perhaps for some, his appearance could be said to be handsome.
Right now he was only wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt that felt very relaxed. After all, it is night time and it is indeed time to relax. It is not strange if he wears clothes as comfortable as possible to get a more relaxed and relaxed atmosphere. And in addition, he wears black clothes that contrast with his clothes.
“It is very surprising that there are guests coming to our house. The village itself only has a 2-digit population that makes it rare for visitors. Oh, sorry, you know, yeah. Pati and Brother are having dinner. Sorry if the appearance of this room is messy, hehehe.” Pati smiled sweetly at the three of them who had just arrived.
Pati is not Adi's sister, but he prefers to call Adi that. She is not a human, she is a dead type ghost child who has lived as a ghost for 89 years, although her current appearance is still the same as that of an 8 year old girl. Ordinary people would not expect if he was 89 years old, even Adi himself did not know the original age of Starch because the answer he got was “always 8 years”.
Right now, in front of Adi and Pati was actually the living room table, and they were indeed in the living room for dinner this time. This is not without reason, but both are more comfortable eating in the living room than in the dining room. After all, it is very rare for guests to visit their homes considering the small number of residents in this village.
“You two are..., still eating in the living room like before, yes.” Noctis saw the kale stir-fry that became the second food menu. “Do you two always eat that food? 2 Weeks ago when I visited, you two were wearing kale stir-fry as the third meal at that time. I did not bother with this because kale itself is a nutritious food, but I find it strange when you guys just eat it.”
“Hehehe, the problem is good, easy to get, and fast to mature. So, Pati prefers to use stir-fried kale for food when we are poor in our food supplies. In this village, kale itself is scattered all over the place and free to take. Fortunately, this village has abundant Natural Resources until it does not need to work to connect life,” explained Pati with a bright smile.
“Please don't say that to our guests, deh, Pati. I, who am the breadwinner in this place, feel ashamed if you boast about us who are short of money. I'd rather if you shut up about my income that can only buy rice for a month and absolutely can't buy small luxuries.” Adi smiled helplessly at Pati.
“Although Big Brother said it like that, Pati only knew about something like saying honestly to others. If we lie, that alone will trouble us, right? A liar will use his lies to cover up previous lies, so that there will be an endless chain of lies.” Pati showed her sweet smile to Adi.
“It's not about lies or honesty, but it's about covering up disgrace. What do you think when others say something about you and you hate what they say? More or less that is our current position. Information about our income is not very important to them, and pitying yourself to others to get money is also not something good,” Adi replied in a wise tone.
“Have you guys finished talking to each other? If so, I would like to say about our business to come here night-night until it doesn't wait for the time of day. This problem is also not very important, but it remains something very .. er ... problematic and needs to be resolved in a fast time,” Noctis said before Adi and Pati had a dialogue with each other.
‘I must admit, they are both very well-knit families and have good relationships with each other. But if they are constantly talking without end, I might not go home and instead spend the night in this place. Not because they keep talking until morning, but it will be late at night before they finally offer to sleep in their home.’
‘I myself do not like if you have to trouble them when you already know their economic conditions. If I spend the night here, I will give several tens of gold coins to the two of them. Look, I also still have pity and can sympathize with people who are in distress even though I myself am not a human being.’
‘Gold may not be worth much here, but gold is the universal currency in the majority of the world. If it is gold, at least it can be used to exchange currencies in that world rather than using currencies that are completely foreign from the world that is there.’
