Episode 20 Finding a Couple

EPISODE 20 LOOKING FOR A PARTNER

After a long day of sleep, Chemira wakes up from her sleep. He looked around, noticed the surroundings and tried to rearrange his messy memories. Zhuzu realized that, he immediately told Delvin.

“Is anything that feels bad?” Delvin asked in a soft tone. “Hm?” Chemira just stared at Delvin with an illegible look. Then he turned his gaze away from Delvin, he looked towards Arora and Fimela who were still asleep.

Chemira looked at her two best friends for a long time, then she looked back at Delvin. “I'm hungry.” Lirih. “Alright, wait a minute. I'll bring you.” Said Delvin who rushed off towards the canteen.

Ivan and Zhuzu just kept quiet and watched. Chemira, who had been staring at Delvin's departure, turned to Ivan and Zhuzu. “Senior? You guys here too? How long have I been asleep?” Ask Chemira.

“7 hours.” Answer Zhuzu. Chemira did not respond, as she still needed time to gather her consciousness. “7 hours? Really?” He asked after digesting the 2 short words Zhuzu had just said.

‘Yes, do you feel uncomfortable?” Connect Zhuzu. “I'm dizzy, my memory is messy, my vision is a little foggy, my throat hurts, my body is limp and hurts all.” Answer Chemira.

Zhuzu got out of his chair and went towards the large cupboard filled with medicine. He took some semi-finished powder and then mixed it with a glass of water. He gave the water to Chemira, “Minum, it will relieve the effect of the supplement.”

Chemira took a sip of the water in the glass. And sure enough, he felt that his body was slightly better than the one before. His dizziness began to subside, and his vision began to refocus. “Thank you, senior.” Chemira said sincerely.

Shortly after, Delvin returned with a lunch menu that looked very delicious. Delvin put the food-filled anmpan on top of the one by the bed. He saw an empty glass there, ‘I remember that there was no glass here.’ Inner Delvin.

He flipped his body and immediately looked towards Zhuzu who was busy reassembling the powder he had just used. “What did you give him?” Ask Delvin. Zhuzu turned around, “I gave her a side effect reliever medication.” Zhuzu replied briefly.

“Why are you always able to create such amazing medicines? Can you teach me?” Ivan asked, asking. “Are you going to switch professions now?” Ask Zhuzu back. Ivan just shrugged, “Yah, I don't know.” Answer's short.

“I'm just amazed at you.” Later connections. Delvin slammed his body into the sofa. “Well, what materials do you use? I guess it's all rare stuff.” Delvin asked while commenting on the annoying smile on his face. Chemira only watched from afar while enjoying her late lunch.

“Not really, just date juice, meniran extract, purple rosella, black wine and a little red rosella.” Zhuzu replied casually. Everyone who heard his words could only remain silent without a word and be enveloped in disbelief.

Shortly after, Arora and Fimela wake up together. “Hm? You guys are awake too? Are you guys hungry?” Zhuzu asked with a friendly smile. Hearing something about food, Arora nodded her head quickly. While Fimela asked back, “Is there ice cream?” Ask her with plain eyes like a child.

“No, there will be no ice cream if you don't finish your lunch.” Ivan answered while putting two trays filled with delicious food on it. “One for you, and one for you. Spend.” Ivan gave a strict command sentence that could not be denied. Fimela ate her with a slight sense of pressure. As for Arora, he ate it with a happy heart without the slightest burden.

“Alright, may I ask you one thing?” Zhuzu Pinta. Arora and Fimela nodded while eating their food. “Do you feel a little uncomfortable? Can you describe what you are feeling right now?” Reciprocity.

He scratched the powder first before mixing it into the water that is already available in the glass. “This, drink.” Say it while giving a glass with mixed medicine water in it. Fimela drained the water, then returned the empty glass to Zhuzu. “Thank you, senior.”Fimela said sincerely.

“Arora, how about you?” Zhuzu asked with a warmer aura than before. “I? Hm, I feel a bit of nausea and pain in the chest, it feels like a little tightness. I also felt like..” Arora's speech came to a halt because she suddenly felt a pain in her head, like being hit with something hard. “Aargh, it hurts so much..” The plate that was clasped tightly in his hand now fell, crushed to pieces.

Zhuzu immediately ran over to Arora. “Let your body. Slow down.” He said while helping Arora lay her body back down. Arora was still in pain. “Huhu, it hurts once.”

“Hm, senior. He's been like for about 6 years. Last time he was like that was about 1 month ago.” Chemira. ‘6 years?’ Zhuzu sat down next to Arora and re-positioned her in a sitting position. Arora's hand, which felt very cold, tightly grasped Zhuzu's clothes. “Se-senior. sa-sick once. Huhuu.”

“Tan easy, calm.” Zhuzu said as he rubbed Arora's head, calming her down. After feeling that his pain had lessened, his hand, which had originally tightly hugged Zhuzu's arm, now began to break apart. “M-sorry to me, s-senior.” Arora's words go hand in hand with her sobs.

“No, it's okay.” Zhuzu said as he turned his face crimson. “Eh? The senior? What was? Why is your face flushed? Are you sick too?” Asked Arora with a worried tone. “Eh? Ah, ahem. No, I'm fine.” Zhuzu replied as he stepped away from Arora. He returned to his storage cabinet and mixed a little more medicinal powder and a few drops of liquid medicine into a glass of water and gave it to Arora.

“I sometimes think that he is too genius until he forgets the human nature and feeling that someone has brought from birth.” The whisper of Ivan to Delvin. “I think you're right, want as cold as he is to a woman, he remains a man.” Delvin Sahut. Zhuzu who heard the conversation, simply threw a threatening smile at the two of them.

In the hallway to the stairs,

“I have to ask who? I'm not beautiful, I look so bad. Is there anyone who would help me?” Luna is a self-abused girl who has never been interested in dressing up, and now feels regret for her own decision not to learn to dress up and change her appearance.

“Argh, I have to how now?” Luna said in frustration. “Do any people want to be my partner at the annual event next month? I'm sure no one wants to. Can I be with women? At least I have Aline. Argh, no. I don't care if it should be blasphemed, but I won't implicate Aline, she's too good.” Luna continued walking down the steps one by one while cursing herself.

Being too preoccupied with her own thoughts, Luna slipped and almost fell down the stairs. Luckily Ignacio who happened to pass by had pulled him back to his feet before he fell.

“I think you should watch your step, miss. Too dangerous if you fall.” Her speech is soft.
