“Hey Junta! You're 12 minutes late!”
“Ah.. Yep.. Sorry”
Yui made an annoyed expression and threw her face away from looking at the Junta, on the other hand, the Junta was confused as to how because she had never been angered by the woman before, except for Bu Layla.
“Uh.. I'm really sorry Yui, there's something I have to do earlier so I can't come on time”
Yui who had been throwing her face now turned her back to Junta, anyone could tell that Yui was still angry with Junta because the Junta was 12 minutes late from the promised time, which was 13:00, the crowd around started staring at the two of them with a slight laugh and this made Junta a little uncomfortable.
The train station today is more crowded than usual because today is Sunday and on this day too Junta keeps the promise he agreed with Yui, namely to go to the bookstore that was in District 14, Yui made this promise because she could not find the book she was looking for in the school library a few days ago.
Junta, still with her bewildered face trying to find a way for Yui to forgive her, suddenly remembered with a tip to apologize to the woman she heard from someone's conversation.
“Uh.. I'm sorry Yui, I know I was wrong, and I'm really sorry for this thing”
Junta said that in a very sorry tone, Yui who heard this turned her head slightly back to look at the Junta's expression.
“And you know? That shirt you're wearing fits you perfectly, a white dress with a knee-length skirt in navy blue, you really look like you fit that outfit”
Yui who heard this instantly returned her gaze forward for the Junta to be unable to see her face, then said in a stammering tone.
“A-I think it's okay if it's only 12 minutes late, Ta-but don't you repeat it again!”
“Of course! I'll try not to repeat it again”
Yui heard this clearly so she turned her body to face Junta and smiled at him.
“Alright, let's go”
Yui walked past the Junta and the Junta immediately chased after her, the two of them passed through a large crowd of people before finally arriving at the road that was outside the station, the location of the bookstore they wanted to go to was not too far away from where the two of them had met, so it shouldn't have taken them a long time to get to that place.
While looking at Yui leading this journey in front of him, Junta thought back to what Yui had said in the school library a few days ago, junta answered Yui's question with a simple sentence that read ‘I don't know’, but now when Junta thinks about it again, Junta is reminded of his father's love for this city.
Not only that, Junta also remembered with his father's last message before dying, namely hiding, Junta was ordered by his father to hide from this world, Junta, and the order was still well served by the Junta, the Junta trying its hardest so that no one knew who the Junta's parents were or who the Junta really was, junta's father's order is very understandable because Junta's parents' killer must not be careless because he can kill Junta's parents whose real identity is the hero in this city, and there's no guarantee that the killer was just after Junta's parents.
It can be said that if the Junta divulges information about who he really is, it could threaten the Junta's safety, the killer is still unaccounted for and who knows it's the guy around Junta, plus the killer was brave and strong enough to kill Junta's parents in the middle of the crowd on Christmas Eve which meant the killer was very dangerous because he wasn't afraid of being caught.
The junta knows well the magic power of its parents and because its parents have been killed by someone, it can be ascertained that the person has a very strong power, and this makes the Junta very careful in keeping the information so that the hiding is not revealed.
Not long after Junta had thought of many things, he had arrived at a fairly large building, there was a gigantic book on top of that one-story building which signified that it was a bookstore, a bookstore, Yui and Junta walked up to the door and the door automatically opened by itself, when compared with the library in Junta school, this store is much larger and also much more crowded, many people stood close to the bookshelf to find the book they wanted, some were talking to their friends while pointing at a book, there are also those who read books calmly while sitting in a chair that has been provided in the corner of the room.
Not long after Yui and Junta entered, they were greeted by a young woman who seemed to be an employee at the store, Yui and the clerk were talking about something the Junta could not hear, after the conversation was over, the clerk led Yui to a place not far from where they were standing, of course the Junta followed them behind.
Upon reaching the destination, the clerk smiled at Yui and left the two of them, not long after the clerk left, Yui picked up a book on a large shelf in front of her.
“What book are you looking for?”
“Yes! This book is pretty hard to find, so I'm pretty happy to find it here!”
“Then what do we do now? Home?”
“Eh? Don't you want to look around Junta first? Maybe there's a book that interests you?”
Junta looking around the books, most books are placed on a large shelf, but not a few books are placed on a small shelf, a small shelf, to be honest Junta was not too interested in the book that was here because what he was looking for was a book about magic.
“I don't think I'm interested in the books here, so we'd better get back before it gets hot”
“You are yes.. Not understanding at all what these moments mean to me.”
Yui said that in a very shrewd tone.
“Did you say something?”
“No, not important thing”
Yui let out a long sigh, then said.
“Then how about we have lunch first?”
“Uh.. I guess I'll turn it down, I don't bring much money”
Yui let out a long sigh, longer than before.
“Do not worry Junta, around here there is a restaurant called La Liyu, it is a restaurant belonging to my family so we will not be charged there”
“Then let's go!”
Suddenly Junta became very excited and said that in a fiery tone, it could not be denied that the empty refrigerator that was in the Junta house made the Junta's head sick these few days, so it was only natural that Junta was so excited when he heard there was a free meal.
“Ya yes.. Let me pay for this first at the cashier”
Yui goes to the cashier followed by the Junta, after paying for the desired book, Yui thanked the employee who was behind the cash register and walked out with the Junta behind her.
The distance of the restaurant was not too far away, so it did not take long Junta and Yui had arrived at La Liyu's restaurant, the first impression Junta had of this restaurant was a luxury, a large and very crowded restaurant, there is the inscription ‘La Liyu’ above the entrance written with a Chinese-style inscription, Yui walks into the restaurant followed by Junta, after the two of them entered, a female employee standing by the door walked over towards Junta and Yui.
“Young Miss, can I help you?”
The employee greeted Yui with a slight bow.
“Is there a table for 2 people?”
“Surely there is Young Miss, please follow me”
After saying that, the clerk went in followed by Yui and Junta, along the way, Junta looked around the restaurant design even more thoroughly, he said, if the Junta is ordered to describe the restaurant then the Junta will say that it is a Chinese restaurant, almost everything inside the restaurant was red and on the walls were pictures of dragons dyed in gold, even the table where the customers were eating was covered with bright red cloth, after arriving at the table shown by the employee, Junta and Yui sat face to face.
“Today you want to eat what Young Miss?”
The employee gave Yui a menu list, but Yui refused and said.
“Ah.. As usual, just”
“Alright, then what about you?
The employee gave the menu to the Junta, the Junta received the list with both hands and began to read what the restaurant provided, although Junta read the menu repeatedly, Junta still did not understand what food was provided, all the names of the food that was there were the names of foods that Junta had never heard before, he said, this made Junta confused and he finally closed the list of food he was holding and started staring at the employee.
“Do you have any recommendations?”
“I recommend today's popular menu is Rotska”
“Good, sounds delicious to me, I order it”
“Alright please wait here and your order will arrive” soon
The employee left quickly and in an instant the Junta could not see him anymore.
“I didn't know you liked food like that Junta”
“Ya... I don't think there's any harm in trying new foods right?”
“Oh? So you've never eaten that food before? What do you eat often?”
Junta suddenly remembered the empty refrigerator in his house.
“Yes…. Instant noodles”
“Eh? That only?”
“Yap”
“Uh.. Did your parents never cook Junta?”
“My parents work far abroad, so they can only send money to ku”
“Ah.. I think I understand why you couldn't peel potatoes in cooking class a few days ago.”.
“Hey, I'm trying to give you the best you know?”
After saying that a male employee brought food to the Junta's table, placed the food he was carrying on the table and bowed and went as fast as lightning.
“Uh..”.
The junta was a little confused looking at the food that was in front of him.
“What is this?”
“Lobster, what else?”
The junta saw the food again, there were 4 lobsters placed on a plate and the lobsters were surrounded by ice cubes, Junta took one lobster and smelled it.
“Uh.. Is this still Yui's raw?”
Yui stopped chewing the grilled meat in her mouth and replied.
“It was a menu you ordered, a fresh lobster”
“Uh.. Does that mean it's still raw?”
“Of course, the ice cubes on that plate serve to keep the lobster fresh, and all you need to do is eat it”
Junta still made a confused expression despite hearing Yui's explanation, Junta did not understand at all why the people here could eat the raw food, either, every now and then the Junta looks at the people sitting beside it, the Junta sees how the customers there eat the raw food, and when it understands what to do, it sees what to do, The junta ate the raw lobster and began to chew it quickly and swallow it.
“So... How?”
“I... Absolutely do not want to talk about it”
Yui looked like she wanted to laugh, but she quickly covered her mouth with her right hand, on the other hand, Junta kept her eyes closed and made a difficult expression to explain, he did that while continuing to eat the lobsters that exist until they are not left.
“Uh.
“Hihihihi, glad to see you like the food in La Liyu” restaurant
“Uh.
Junta still with a difficult expression to explain closed his eyes and put his head on the table.
“Do you want a sweet drink Junta?”
“No... Currently my mouth really does not want to eat or drink anything else”
“Hihihi, oh yes, thank you for accompanying me to buy this book”
“It's okay.. I also thank you for this meal”
“Hihihi, then let's go”
Yui stood up from her seat followed by the Junta, then the two of them walked towards the exit.
“You're done Young Miss?”
“Ah yes, thanks for the meal”
“No need to thank Young Miss, and also apologize if this is disturbing, but I have a message from Big Lord”
“From Ayahanda?”
“Yes, Big Lord said that he would like to meet you in his office today at 16:00”
Yui sighed after hearing the words of the female employee.
“Alright, I get it, tell Ayahanda that I'll be there in 15 more minutes”
“Will I convey”
Upon hearing the reply from the clerk, Yui nodded and walked out of the restaurant, after not far away walking, Yui stopped and faced the Junta.
“Hey Junta, actually I want to walk even longer with you but I'm sorry, I have to go now”
“Sure, no problem, do I need to drop off to the station?”
“No, no need, I'll take cab”
Yui waved her hand and quickly a taxi approached Yui.
“I'm sorry Junta, but I really have to go”
“It's okay, don't think, if you want to take another walk then you can take me”
“Eh? Really?!”
“Ah yes.. Sure”
Yui who was happy to hear Junta's answer skipped around a little and finally smiled towards the Junta.
“Alright! I'm looking forward to it!”
After saying that, Yui smiled at Junta and got into the taxi, it didn't take long, the taxi went away from Junta and disappeared from her sight, not long after, Junta who still felt an unpleasant taste in his mouth decided to go to an ice cream shop not far from where he stood.
After arriving at the store, Junta ordered a chocolate ice cream and ate it on a bench inside the park, despite the hot weather that day, the atmosphere in the park is quite crowded, many small children play there, not to mention there are many people who exercise or take a leisurely walk with their pets.
The bad taste in Junta's mouth is slowly being replaced by the taste of the chocolate ice cream it eats, but suddenly Junta's chocolate ice cream was seized by a monkey who came out of nowhere, the Junta reflexively chased the monkey until the monkey gave up and dropped Junta ice cream on a small dead end that was between the buildings.
The desolate condition of the road made Junta's anger sound quite clear, many times he tried to throw the monkey with small stones around it, but the monkey was nimble enough that he could dodge all Junta attacks.
“Hey hey, don't be rude to beast”
The junta looked back to see who was speaking.
“You don't understand, this falling ice cream is the ice cream I bought with my last money! I don't have any more money you know?!”
“Ahahaha! Funny once”
The yellow-haired man laughed out loud, the sunglasses he wore made a cool impression at a glance, plus his all-black clothes made his yellow hair striking.
“I did not expect at all that the child of the White Hero would be short of money hahahahaha!”
Junta was surprised to hear this, but he was still able to keep his attitude calm and answer.
“Huh, White Hero? You mean I'm the son of a hero who's in the legend?”
“Stop pretending”
“I don't understand you mean”
The black-eyed man let out a short sigh.
“You know? Actually I also can't believe that you're the son of the White” Hero
The yellow haired man took out a small book from his pants pocket.
“But, based on my research that I noted in this book, inevitably I must be sure that you are the son of the White” Hero
“Are you a patient who escaped from a mental hospital?”
“Ahahaha! You can say that, but let's get this straight
The man put the little book he was holding back into his pants pocket.
“You are a threat to this city, and I will kill you here”
“Looks like you really believe that I am the son of the White Hero huh?”
“No, I don't believe, but that's the truth”
Junta made a serious expression and looked ready to fight.
“Before I kill you White Hero boy, let me introduce myself”
“No need”
Junta said that with a heavy voice and his voice echoed slightly, as if his voice came from inside the cave.
“Once?”
The yellow haired man made a pose ready to fight.
“Do not disappoint me, Junta von Rayka”
