Ellie Smart Reparation

“Talk? About what?” I was amazed by his sudden behavior. Do we have to be quiet like this?

“This is with me!” bring him. My hand was held tightly by her, as if I wanted to escape from her. He walked quickly, I had difficulty following his steps especially my innately heavy.

“Can't relax a little?”

“Before we arrive, hold on.”

He led me down this dark, narrow alley. Just using a flashlight as a light source, not infrequently I stumbled on rocks. The surroundings were completely silent, even I could hear the clear sound of Ellie's breathing in front of me. He started walking fast but stopped suddenly. I who did not know it then hit him.

“Say if you want to stop!”

“We're here.” There was a small hut lit by a chandelier. He let me sit next to him.

“So, what do you want to talk about?”

“It looks like the item is quite heavy. Can I help you?” his reply. I innocently gave it to Ellie. While in Ellie's hands, he immediately took the tool. He stuck the device into the ground exactly as I did last night. I was confused to see it.

“What are you doing?”

“Do as you did earlier.”

“You saw me?”

“Did you bring that sky book?” he said ignoring my question.

“There is in inn.”

“It seems impossible to take it..” murmured.

“But where did you see me? Though I've checked around and no one noticed it at all.”

“Sight is not the only sense you rely on. Can you help me?” he continued, he was busy with the device. He looks like an expert researcher. I don't know if it is his knowledge or just fiddling with tools.

“Are you sure about all this?” many doubt.

“Of course. You don't trust me?”

“Come..Maybe because we haven't met for long.”.

“I don't mind that, but at least trust me as a fellow member of Synnefa.”

“Good. What do I have to do now?”

“Hold here, hold for a while.”

“Will you do this tool?”

“Otak-at?” hesitated answer.

After a while he asked me to take my hand off the device. I saw it again. He looked at the device from all sides. His behavior is like a technician. He asked me to take his short cloth. He also tied his head. I didn't think at all about him.

“Sip, now take a small plant and have to stay alive,” the door.

“So, I also have to take up the root?”

“Don't unplug, grab it with the ground too.”

I picked up a small flower plant that was in the corner of the house wall. I don't want my hands to be dirty to keep the plant alive. Both of my hands were like flower pots. I went back to Ellie. I don't know what it means to do this. He didn't tell me anything.

Actually I keep wondering in my mind. I don't know what Ellie's thinking right now. Because everything he did was not written in any documents given by the Head of Research. Since when did he follow me? Why are they all splitting up? All I know, usually they often gather in the park during the day until the afternoon. But I feel strange about today. Even I did not see Alya at all in this small village.

Waiting for Ellie while watching her makes me feel good. The quiet atmosphere added to my comfort, especially after a long day. Luckily I stayed awake because of some worms wriggling in my hands. Drowsiness and tingling at the same time.

“Can't it be faster? I want to go to inn.” I remember my schedule tonight.

“Oh no! I have a meeting tonight! Hurry, Ellie!” lontarku panic.

“When is that schedule?”

“After dinner time,” reply I was worried.

“Quiet, there is still one hour.”

“Good, good. I'll speed it up,” said. “That bag contains tools, right?”

“Iya, but incomplete,” I replied. “It's okay, I just need a screwdriver,” he continued while looking towards the bag.

“Can I borrow one hand?”

“But later everything falls,” reply me a little annoyed. Suddenly, he put his face right in front of me. I was nervous and uncomfortable. To the point that I could feel her breathing. I can't move.

“T—Too close!” muttered.

“Wait a minute!” Unexpectedly, a frog appeared that jumped at Ellie's feet and left her shocked. Bad luck befalls me. I don't think about the plants in my hands anymore. The poor plant. But I object to Ellie being on top of me.

“Basic frog!” barbarically.

“Can you wake up? You're not light, you know.”

“Well, I can finally take it,” Ellie said happily as she grabbed the bag over me. It appears that the poor flower is on my coat with the scattered lands.

“Aduh... Adding my work only.”

“Sorry, let's just say it was an accident.” I went back and searched for another small plant.

“No need, I thought of something,” he said. “So, that one was in vain?” just pissed. He just focused on the tool.

“Not really, as a result of that I got the idea.” I watched Ellie being busy. Until he finally finished it. He moved and stuck the tool close to a small plant that was still alive. “You can't draw conclusions from this tool yet, right? Maybe I can answer it.”

“As you have read, it should be familiar with the word ‘energi sky’. But what is the energy of ‘the invisible’? Can't be kissed, felt, whatever it is. Like seeing metaphysical phenomena, can only be theorized and clever. One to know it would need ‘intera’, right?”

“Away? You mean..”

“Ya, the plant I refer to as the intermediary is.” He showed how the tool works on the plants around it.

“Why did you ask me to hold it earlier?”

“To greet the worms?”

“You fucked me!” lontarku. He just laughed at my expression.

I just realized that the plants around him were starting to wither slowly. Not dead, just ducking like exhausted. I didn't think it was actually environmentally friendly.

“Just relax, they won't die that easily. Let's just say they're exhausted just like you,”.

“They won't die? But what if the tool is much larger?”

“They are fine, because indeed the problem is not here.”

“Hah? So the problem isn't with the plant?”

“One hundred points for you! From the name alone you should have guessed it. Sky energy.”

“Energy sky? Oh, mercy. I just realized it,” reply I was surprised.

“Not proven yet, anyway. Because I myself have also just seen this tool.”

“You said it earlier, a full metaphysical phenomenon if only, right?”

“So, what are you going to do now?” ask Ellie seriously.

“There is no proof yet. Looks like I'll keep going. You?”

“Now, maybe I'll talk about it when I get together. Want to send greetings?”

“Sure. But I'm afraid they think I betrayed you. I promise to do my duty as a member of Synnefa!”

“Good! Otherwise, I'll finish you right now.”

“Haha! All right, I need to get to the inn now. Bye!” lontarku rushed over with the luggage in my hand.

“Dah! Don't forget to clean yourself!” sahut Ellie grinned.
