The Lovely One's

Chapter 10: The First Treaty

The bus finally stopped at the first stop, Starla got up from her seat, she glanced at Aozora who was also staring at her. "Sister, stop my place here. Excuse me, I'm going through" he said.

"Oh," Aozora answered briefly, standing up so that Starla could pass.

Starla waved her hand, then walked down the stairs and out of the bus.

'Time to face Arthur.' Starla said in her heart.

Starla momentarily glanced at the bus on the second floor where Aozora was, just stepping towards her house; hoping that Arthur would not ride on her, hoping that her parents would not know about the incident this morning.

'I think it's unlikely that Mama and Papa don't know, working at home isn't just Arthur.' Starla said in her heart.

Starla accepts whatever the consequences, but what she did was not a criminal act, she just took the school bus is not bad, right?

"Starla-san."

Starla stopped stepping; just now it felt like she heard Aozora's voice. "At least an illusion, the bus had already departed from earlier." he continued his steps again, but came to a halt again, not because of the illusion of Aozora's voice but a pat on his shoulder.

"Wait a minute" said Aozora.

It is not an illusion, Starla is certainly confused why Aozora came down even to chase after him, of course he was happy just that he still felt bad to have yelled at the young man so since on the bus he did not invite to talk. "Is something wrong?"

"I'm..." Aozora did not finish her words, her eyes refusing to look at Starla.

"I why, brother?" ask Starla again.

Aozora cleared her throat a few times. "I still feel bad because of the incident in bus—"

"Wait." Starla cuts off the conversation. "Aren't you willing to go down just feeling guilty?"

Aozora nodded. "My actions make you sad so I'm—"

"No!" Starla cuts off Aozora's conversation again. "It is precisely I who feel guilty, I have snapped, Brother."

Aozora is confused. "I'm not offended at all. I've appreciated your decision. I know you're traumatized by being a victim, so I don't want to bother you."

Starla surprised.

They seem to misunderstand each other.

Their eyes clashed against each other again for a moment before they bowed in shame.

"I-I think this misunderstanding is over." Starla ventured to say. "I'm fine, brother. So you can go home, my house is near here."

"I see, I don't think I'm buying you" said Aozora.

Starla's eyes twinkled at the word tract. "Sister Aozora, would you like to treat me... Am I?" tanyanya enthusiastic.

Aozora nodded. "If it's true that you're still angry, my intention is to treat you" he explained.

"I'm not angry" said Starla quickly. "But I can't say no to free food. Is the offer still valid?" the question is full of hope.

Aozora thought for a moment. "Of course you can choose where to eat, Starla-san."

Starla jumped very happy. "Eating for free~ eat for free~" he hummed ria.

Aozora chuckled at Starla's innocent behavior. "Then come on."

Starla nodded.

***

After thinking for a long time, Starla finally chose a subscription meatball near her home, Pak Rebo meatballs, she chose it because she did not want Aozora to go home too late because of her.

Aozora turned her head to look at the banner above the store. "I didn't know Pak Rebo's meatballs had branches here." he wondered.

"There is Pak Rebo meatball in Bali!?" ask Starla in shock.

Aozora nodded. "There, I got a recommendation from my pen friend, unexpectedly matching my tongue. I like meatballs."

Starla originally intended to introduce a special meal here but, a little time made her cancel it, she was happy to find out if Aozora liked her favorite food. "I also don't know if Mr. Rebo has a branch in Bali" he said. "Come, I recommend a good menu, brother."

Aozora nodded, following Starla from behind.

"Sir, order two mercon meatballs" Starla said.

"Well, Neng," said Mr. Rebo, he took two bowls and began to put the meatball seasoning. "It's been a long time, Neng Starla, having come with a boyfriend."

Starla's cheeks blushed at once hearing the word girlfriend, not wanting to misunderstand, she hurriedly denied. "Anu, Brother Aozora—"

"It's good to see you, sir" Aozora cut quick. "Have you opened a branch in Bali?" tanyakanya.

Eh?

Why did Aozora prevent him from allowing their relationship? Or is it intentionally? Aozora wants her neighborhood to be misunderstood about their status?

Starla's cheeks blushed red thinking about it.

"Dearly no, if it has been collected maybe you will think to open there," said Mr. Rebo. "There is Pak Rebo meatballs also in Bali?"

"Well, you can have a rival, haha.." joked Mr. Rebo. "Wear vegetables? Noodles? Vermillion?"

Aozora laughed. "Just the taxi, sir."

"Neng Starla is wearing as usual?" ask Mr. Rebo.

"Ah, yes. Sir as usual," said Starla, "Let's sit down, brother will also be brought."

Aozora nodded.

Starla swept around, as usual at this hour the customer was quite crowded, she looked for a comfortable seat, and found it quickly near the wall fan, she said, he immediately walked there before anyone attacked.

"What is Mercon, Starla-san?" aozora asked as soon as they sat down.

"Oh, that means the level of spiciness, sister," Starla said. "Here wear spicy lamb chili as I remember number two in Indonesia" explained the spirit of four and five.

"Two... ?" aozora's face instantly turned pale. "I forgot Indonesia has a unique food menu."

Starla felt Aozora's face change drastically. "Sister okay? Don't like spicy? Can you change the menu really, meatballs urate or eggs, would you?"

"No need," said Aozora; it was too late to change the menu, he had tried spicy food menu in Bali with his friend and still acceptable on his tongue, so he felt this was the same, too, it wouldn't be possible to pepper a carolina reapper sheep, would it?

"Really?" Starla made sure once again, she was still not sure of seeing Aozora's facial expression? "Seriously Brother, it's okay to change the menu, Mr. Rebo is kind" he said. "Yes Sir? Good dad, right?" yells.

"Yes, Neng," said Mr. Rebo and then still busy pouring sauce into a bowl with a picture of a rooster logo.

"Sister, it's okay" Starla said.

"I'm fine too, Starla-san," Aozora said calmly. "I can't pour chili into my food."

"Oh, honestly the chili is in da—"

"This is Neng Starla's order" Mr. Rebo said as he placed two bowls on the table.

"Thank you, sir" said Starla. "Drink me iced oranges, huh?"

Mr. Rebo nodded, then his eyes fell on Aozora.

Aozora who was busy watching the meatballs in front of her, said. "Just like me too, sir."

"Es two oranges, Sul!" exclaimed Mr. Rebo, after he returned to make another order meatballs.

Starla's eyes twinkled at her favorite meatballs, she picked up chili, sauce, and soy sauce, pouring them into her baso bowl.

Aozora who saw him gulped his saliva. "You like spicy food?" tanyakanya.

Starla nodded. "Yes, but I'm not as good as Gea."

Aozora glanced at Starla's bowl whose sauce was clear now changing color to deep red. "Gea sounds like a great girl huh." she still glanced at Starla's bowl. Then his eyes were fixed on his bowl at last, taking out one small meatball. "Itadakimasu!" he exclaimed, and devoured it in one mouthful, he guessed the taste released by the meatball. "Enak," and most importantly not spicy.

Starla also started devouring her meatballs after reading the do'a of course. "Ah, it still feels the same as the last time I bought it" he said, and took another mouthful.

Aozora smiled slightly at Starla's innocent behavior, this was the first time she had seen that devouring woman in front of her. He loved it, giving it his own satisfaction; following his passion, he split the largest meatballs and was surprised to see that there was a lot of chili inside. "Is this what a mercon meatball is called?" he whispered, hesitantly devouring it.

Starla stopped eating for a moment watching Aozora close her mouth. "Aren't you okay?" tanyanya.

"I'm.okay, okay, fine," Aozora said, still covering her lips.

Starla could not believe it, she continued eating it with her eyes still fixed on Aozora who was clearly hesitant to put the rest of the mercon meatballs into her mouth. "Sir, if—" he had not had time to finish saying, Aozora had devoured the remaining pieces of mercon meatballs in one mouthful, managed to amaze him, also the spirit wanted to spend quickly.

"Uh-huh..." Aozora answered her ass, her ears began to ring the effect of the lamb chili, she immediately picked up the orange ice as it was placed on the table, gulping it down. "Oh Josses**.." sighed very slowly so as not to be heard by others or Starla.

"Thank you for the food, brother."

"Huh?" Aozora glanced at Starla who had a big smile, then glanced at the girl's bowl, gulping her saliva at the clean contents leaving only a hint of gravy. "Yes," he immediately got up, saying nothing to the cashier's place to pay.

Starla followed from behind, again suspiciously looking at Aozora's expression that seemed to be enduring the pain, "Sister, is it really okay?" tanyakanya.

Aozora took a deep breath. "I'm fine, just a little bit of spiciness,"

Starla rolled her eyeballs, not looking like a person who was a little bit spiciness, so she felt guilty, should have changed the menu earlier! Following instinct is not Aozora's speech.

Aozora stopped the taxi. "You're better?" tanyanya tried as calmly as possible.

Starla nodded. "Thank you once again for the food, brother," he said embarrassedly.

Can eat for free and together Aozora changed her mood drastically.

Aozora nodded. "Starla-san, I know you're scared, but it's good for you to report" he gave advice. "So that there will be no more victims. If you are afraid to report to yourself, I will be willing to accompany you or if I am not comfortable with you to be with your friends... Gea."

Starla thought for a moment; what did Aozora say was true, perhaps she should report to Master? There were many witnesses on the bus. However, what he fears is not the absence of support but he is afraid of being ostracized for being a victim, but he also does not want another victim. "Ugh," his head was dizzy. "I'll think about it, brother."

Aozora nodded, and opened the taxi door. "See you tomorrow, Starla-san."

Starla waved her cheerful hand, looking at the taxi that Aozora was riding on slowly shrinking and disappearing from her eyes. His cheeks blushed imagining what the next day would be like, a second later he just remembered that tomorrow sports lessons that mean to enter at seven.

"Well.." he was disappointed.
