Unionists

Dark eyes, and I opened both eyes. The ceiling looks very foreign to me. There was a crowd of voices up close. What the hell's been going on? And.. where am I?

“Malka? You finally wake up,” said Leora.

“Where are we?” many wonder. “We are in the village merchant union,” he replied. It sounds very crowded here.

Trade union? What makes me and Leora here? I really don't remember anything. It turned out that over there was Zilei and the others as well.

“Why are we here?” my continue.

“You don't remember? We escort the traders from Suthmein to here.”

“Trader?” I fell silent to remember him again. I don't know why it's so hard to remember. It was like sleeping and dreaming, but it felt real.

“You ping— I mean, you fell asleep on the trip,” said Leora.

Then came Porty to us both.

“Thank God you're awake. Thank you for escorting our journey. Our goods arrived safely. The rewards have been given to your friends there,” said Porty.

“Your rewards will be very helpful to us. Nice to cooperate with you,” reply Leora. Waitie? I remember it piece by piece. I feel that our train was driven away by robbers. That's what's been clinging to my mind.

“What time on the trip we met with robbers?” my many.

“Luckily there is ka—” Porty greeting directly stopped by Leora. What the hell is going on? Their behavior became strange.

“Is it just my dream, yes.?” mummify slowly.

“Ah! During the trip was fine. Looks like it was just your dream, hehe..” replied Leora. Porty seemed to still have some business, she was busy looking left and right.

“Maybe you're hungry, please order food. This time I bought it in return. I'll stay first, okay? You can come to me on the loading and unloading page,” Porty said and left us both.

“It looks like friends are waiting. Come, Malka.”

“I want to wash my face first. You can go first,” reply me.

“Alright, I'll wait with the others. Don't you take it long, yeah!”

I took a little time to wash my face first.

“Ah!” It hurt when the water hit my face. From the mirror there was a scratch on my face. What the hell happened to me? Since when did my cheek hurt? I don't understand at all. Alright, rather than dizzy myself, I better get together with them immediately.

“Hai, Malka! Looks like you're so good, yeah!” lontar Kellos smiled. Like they were talking about something, but I didn't really hear it just now.

There was a rumbling sound. It was from Lena's stomach. She was so ashamed of him. Leora called a servant.

“The stomach can't lie, can it?” kellos Canda. His face was red, his body was twitching, his eyes were soft, and he could only be silent in shame.

“Already, already. He's so embarrassed because of you,” said Leora, while Kellos was just a whimper. “I'm sorry, huh?” kellos continued while stroking Lena's head.

An atmosphere like this made my chest feel tight. Why am I being like this? The two of them looked perfectly compatible, especially Lena with her timid manner.

Nope, no. I don't want to feel this kind of pain. Is this what people call it? Youth turmoil? But to whom do I feel turbulent? Do you want to feel like you are in a position like the two of them?

“You why, Malka? You're okay, right?” leora asked worriedly.

“Eh! Eee... No, it's nothing!” I was surprised to hear Leora.

“Ekhem! I was nauseous to see someone looking for attention,” Zilei quipped.

Whatdoes thatmean? I feel as he says. But he was clearly insinuating to Kellos and Lena, right? Both of them are busy. Why am I questioning his words? I better think of it like the wind is passing by.

“Really? But you seem like you're thinking of something,” Leora replied to me.

Wait, whoa. Two conversations together, made my head dizzy.

“Hah? Did I not hear wrong? You should be mirrored as well, Women Don't Laku!” lontar Zilei's. Stella became very upset with him.

“Who do you call unsold? You are the same! No one will want to be with you because of your attitude!” stella then left us.

We became a spectacle of everyone in the room. Can't break up, just watch it, including me.

“Stella!” call Leora. “Fitness your mouth!” he then went to Stella. Zilei was still very upset with her face turning away. While Kellos and Lena just gasped without words.

I thought it would be like this…

Moments later, the activity returned to normal, although Zilei and Stella's condition still had not improved. Leora and Stella are not back yet. It seems like Stella was hit hard with it. However, hopefully Zilei also hit with the words of Leora earlier. With this incident, may they get to know each other and be familiar with each other.

The dishes come and are served. The turmoil in my chest has now stopped. I'm grateful for that. I want to eat this meal when everything is complete. But there was no sign of them coming back, let alone the food getting cold. Zilei had been eating since the dish arrived. Kellos and Lena are still unchanged, I'm quite amused by their behavior.

I'd better eat first. The first mouthful came into my mouth.

“This is all your fault!” zilei. He's very angry with me.

“Prushh!” The food that just came into my mouth.

“S—My fault?”

He did not continue his words, but continued eating. I wiped my mouth and the table. Fortunately, there was a cloth on the table. Seeing me eat, Kellos and Lena also followed him but they were still scared. His hand shook as he took a bribe. The food spilled a little on the table.

My food is almost over. Leora and Stella finally seem to go inside. I was surprised to see Stella crying. Leora tried to persuade and calm him down. Then they sat with us.

“Is there no apology at all?” leora asked annoyedly at Zilei.

“I'm sorry, Stella..” said Zilei slowly. His attitude is very inversely proportional. Thank goodness Stella can feel better and calm now.

After the shocking incident in one room, we came to Porty still in the loading and unloading yard.

“Oh, have you guys filled your stomach?” ask Porty.

“Already, the food in the union is good as well it turns out,” reply Leora.

“Sure, do not underestimate the cuisine here.”

“Our work is done, isn't it? Then we pamit—” continued me.

“Wait, it's getting dark. You better stay here first, then leave tomorrow. You guys can ask the guild maid about her room. Just say in my name,” cut Porty.

“It looks like we received a lot of inappropriate rewards from just escorting you. We are very grateful to you,” Leora said.

“Sama-sama, it is precisely we who are greatly helped by you,” Porty smiled.

We spent the night on the top floor of this merchant guild building. This building is very large. We divided it into two rooms, separated between men and women.

The next day, we headed back to Suthmein.

“You can contact me anytime. Be careful on the road,” Porty said.

“Sip! Bye!”

“Course!”
