“Yah, stop. Too bad you still can't trust me. Then let's play hide and seek! You will be able to rate me during this game!” senolia Suan.
‘Uh. I think he'll ask me what needs to be done to earn my trust. I didn't expect him to answer like this. Instead of me digging something out of him, he's the one who will get information about me. I can't play with him!’
All Elena wanted to do was have a long and wide conversation. During that talk, he would slowly bring the topic to the purpose Senolia had come here. Even if Senolia did not say the purpose of her arrival, at least Elena would watch over her using Telepathic abilities. That was what Elena had planned before.
But unfortunately, with Senolia who invites to play, this makes it difficult for him to find out the purpose of Senolia. Mainly because the game is a hide and seek that makes the distance between the two of them (literally) become increasingly distant, while the ability of Telepathy is limited.
'Hmm? Friday night? It's weird why he asked me to play this game. No, wait. That's not the problem. Whether it's a hide-and-seek game or something else is still suspicious to play the game at night.' Between shock and wonder Elena had both expressions simultaneously in her mind.
"Why did you ask me to play that game?" ask Elena.
'I think it's useless to ask him. I'm sure there's nothing so stupid as to say his goal came in dead, especially when he asked me to play a game at suspicious times. But at least I can think that he might want to know my abilities.'
Senolia simply kept a suspicious smile before saying, "I assume you agreed to join the game. I hope you don't run away during the game. All right, let's start the game!"
"Tung—! I still haven't said I'll play!"
Without listening to Elena's words, Senolia leaped from her place towards one of the tree branches, then went using a jump to another tree branch before he disappeared among the leafy leaves within the tree collection.
This place is not a forest, but the trees here are dense. This place is out of town! Although not far from the city, it still became quiet because more people gathered in the city than outside it. After all, if there were a lot of wild settlements outside this city, it would even disturb the peace around there.
"Huh. base, yeah. Just this time I was played by other than my mom and Noctis." Elena scratched her head in surprise and annoyance.
"(In other words, the two people who can conquer to the point of playing you are your mother and the person close to you. I assume your strength cannot be underestimated in your home world.)"
Elena had told Aya about her being from another world. Estimating about not many or almost no humans who can talk smoothly with Aya, it is not too risky to let Aya know about this. Moreover, this could make Aya become more trusting of Elena, it would also probably make Aya able to accept theories against magic from the spirit world.
“(Too suspicious about his behavior, but leave a feeling that we left him and go straight home right now. What's more, he said about something important to us.)” Aya sharpened her gaze at the place Elena was looking at.
“Go away immediately after saying the game started. He just said if this game is hide and seek, but did not say at all about the rules. Broadly speaking, I know that we're going to look for him who's hiding, but leave right after he says that without taking bail? This means he let us choose to come or pass.” Elena smiled dryly thinking about it.
“(Yes…. It's too confusing to figure out what his true intentions are.)’
Confusion of something still unknown will of course appear in the human heart when faced with a choice in a situation that is not understood. Elena was still lacking information as to the impact or repercussions that might occur when she chose one choice. He has no idea what happens when he chooses to leave, nor does he know what will happen if he chooses to play. Calculations using mental capacity only give impasse.
There is no need to think too much when you are in a difficult situation. Just do what you think is the best option. When you do nothing, nothing will happen. Even if the choice chosen is not the best option, at least think if a progress has been made when you choose a choice. Failure today will be the experience of the next day even if it is not a success.
“Alright, let's start looking for it and follow this game!” Elena showed her smile upwards to Aya.
“(Related?)” Aya looked down at Elena's face.
“Of course. He seems to have known about us before this meeting. It is most likely that he has been watching us for a longer time. The two of us might be able to handle it, but it will become even more troublesome when Leon and Leo get involved in this. Working extra is not my style, you know,” explained Elena.
“(Hah... even if you say you don't like to go the extra mile, in fact you've done extra work from morning to night by now. I don't know your way of thinking.)” Aya exhaled and shook her head thinking about and trying to understand the way her trainer thought that she had questioned a little.
Saying no extra work after trying to please the other person, which in fact is an additional job is something that is quite contradictory. Should not do such a troublesome job when you do not want to get additional work. Isn't sleeping all day easier to do than doing something troublesome like this?
“ini and it is a different problem, do not combine two problems into one!” Elena nodded with a mysterious smile to shift the topic. “Then, it is enough to talk, and now is the time to find out about this person.”
“(Really a topic transfer...)”.
