My Perfect Hero's

Chapters. 17 Sweet Girls

Quinn woke up when night had come. Because he was too tired, he ended up sleeping long enough. His condition is much better now. Quinn felt her strength had returned and she could return home soon.

Quinn tidied up the bed she was in before leaving the room. The woman felt something strange in the house. There's no electricity. Yes, the lights in the house use traditional lighting tools.

"Why do they use this thing to light their homes?" Quinn walked towards the door. He saw a lot of torches there. For the first time Quinn saw such an amazing sight. The torches that line up look unique and so impressive. Quinn lowered her foot into the sand. The woman was looking for the whereabouts of Grandma Su.

In distance. It looks like a child playing with laughter. They all seemed peaceful living in the place. Quinn continued walking and watched the surrounding residents. You could say the village is very small. There are only 15 houses with a distance that is not too far from one house to another.

"Miss, Grandma Su is at the clinic. Someone just gave birth. You want me to take you there?" hail a teenage daughter who is the same age as Malvin.

"Don't. I don't want to bother Grandma Su. Let him focus on his work. I just want to walk around this place. The view is beautiful." Quinn looked forward before slowly stepping up.

"Would I go with Miss?" hail the teenager.

Quinn twisted her body then smiled sweetly. "Are you not busy? I just happen to need a friend tonight. I'm a new person here so don't really know what the environment is like in this village." Quinn inhales the scent of the beach. The cold is incredible. Quinn's broken hair looked messy.

The teenager extended her right hand in front of Quinn. "My name is Eli, Miss. What's your name?"

"My name is Quinn. Because our age doesn't seem too far away, you better call me brother. Look around, it looks like you're the same age as my brother Malvin."

"You have a sister, brother? What is the big brother of the city? If I could know what life in the city was like? Did the people who lived there quickly die?" Eli looks innocent to make Quinn hold back a laugh.

"No, Eli. You're wrong." Quinn started to step on her feet. He decided to surround the place while chatting together with Eli. "Have you never been to town before?"

Eli shook his head with a sad face. "Since birth I've lived on this island."

"Island?" Quinn restrained her footsteps and then noticed the surroundings again. He recalled the incident when he first regained consciousness, when he had been lying on a beach resort. Quinn thought it was just a beach on the coast. He did not think it was an island.

"Sir, why did your face turn frantic like that? Is there something wrong with my words?" eli asked with a worried face.

"Eli, tell me why there's no electricity here. Can't you buy a machine and turn on the electricity here so that the lighting is much brighter and you can turn on the electronics? Is there a school here? How do kids learn here?" Quinn asked a lot of things that now filled his head.

Eli seemed confused by what Quinn was talking about. The teenager did not understand. All this time his life was filled with pleasure. Play around in the forest and pick the crops of the parents in the forest. Catching fish in the sea. It never occurred to Eli to go to school and study. Even so, he remains a smart teenager.

"Are the residents of this Island are people who are not knowledgeable and never go to school? Lothawat! If it's like this I have to adjust. I don't want to stand out and offend them," Quinn thought.

"Why are you silent again and unwilling to answer my question?" Eli kept pressing.

"What did you eat while living on this island?"

"much. There were vegetables and fruits grown by our parents. The fish in the sea will not run out either."

"Then, what oil and other ingredients are used for cooking? I mean, where'd you get that." Quinn recalled that back at Grandma Su's house, she ate with a glass plate. It is impossible for villagers to make glass plates without sophisticated tools.

"On that ...."

"Then you said someone had just given birth." Quinn didn't give Eli any explanation. "Does that mean someone is newly married? Like a newlywed? Where's her soul mate from? What are the villagers around? People who live here too. And whether there are only 15 of these houses that live on this island or there are other villages that may be a little away from the location of this Village." Quinn who is a genius child continues to throw questions to make Eli become dizzy.

"Sister, your question is too much to confuse me." Eli smiled as he scratched his non-itchy head. "The man who had just given birth had given birth to his fifth child. What kind of new bride do you mean? The only older teenager was just me on this island. There is no other village on this Island other than our Village. Our lives keep turning. The old will die and the young will be his successors. It's true that sometimes teenagers like me end up getting married to men in this village as well. But not everything is like that. Sometimes we are offered by the Great Lord to go to the city to study and find our soul mate. But some of us refused because there was already a person living in the city and he was so unable to adjust until he became sick and died. The news made us teenagers girls who want to grow up to be afraid. So did our parents until we were finally locked up on this Island and guarded as best we can." Eli looks serious. It shows what he says honestly.

"Great master? Where is the Great Lord? I want to see him. Does this island belong to him?" Quinn looked more enthusiastic.

"You're right, brother. This island belongs to the Great Lord. I myself do not understand about the information regarding the Great Lord. Grandma Su was the only person who was very close to the Great Lord because she was the oldest person in this village. The Great Lord will come once a month to this island and bring some food for us, medicine and some other purposes such as plant seeds, fertilizer and so on. You could say the Great Lord would not let Us starve to death even if we lived on an island like this."

"That means the man you called the Great Lord earlier was a man who had a lot of money. There is no way an ordinary person can do all that. Why doesn't he wake up the electrical energy here. Isn't that a very easy thing." Quinn still didn't think.

"As I said earlier, brother. I don't know. All I know is just enjoying life and enjoying my teenage years."

"But Eli, from your speaking style you're like an educated man. I'm not sure if you don't go to school."

This time Eli was silent and lowered his head. Quinn felt something was off about what Eli had just said. "Eli, I know you're hiding something. Just tell me. I'm locked up on this island. I have a lot to know about this island. Sooner or later I also have to leave this Island." Quinn tried to persuade Eli.

"There are some of my answers that are really honest and there are answers from me that have lied to you. Please forgive me for my mistake, brother. Because our parents forbade us to tell the truth. As I said earlier, if you want more information just ask directly to Grandma Su. Oh yes If you want to return to the city, you can come home with the Great Lord. 1 year ago there was also a man stranded on this Island along with his colleagues. In the end they returned to the city ushered in by the Great Lord. Now you better go back to Grandma Su's house. Grandma Su will be home soon. I'll take care of it." Eli immediately left Quinn. Though the woman had promised to accompany Quinn for a walk around the island.

"Not only this Island is full of mysteries but its inhabitants are also. I'd better go home now and ask Grandma Su to explain everything. He's all I can hope for now."
