Theft of the Future
Chapter 39
“Ah..., h-hello?” Stuttering pace.
“Hahahah! You really have changed apparently. What did this city do to you, Ju?” Adrian laughed out loud.
“Eh? Uh! Are you busy? Is there a job?”
“Wah! Pretty moving question comes from you. You care about that? Nevermind! Just forget about it. Let's drink first! Calm yourself!”
“...Yes!”
Adrian, shocked by the presence of his old friend, immediately embraced this boy firmly, with the intention to take him to his favorite place to eat. Take him for walks around the city and all sorts of things.
The pace that looks awkward just assures Adrian's invitation. In fact, there was a million enthusiasm and joy covering his heart at the moment.
But, I don't know.he's just thirsty for words.
“Excuse me, my usual message for two people, yes!” Call Adrian to the waiter. “Let's find a seat first!” Invite later.
“Wah...!” The pace was amazed by the restaurant he entered.
“What's up? You haven't been to a restaurant since you got here?”
“Ti-no. No? I thought I'd never been to a restaurant like this before. I just go to the supermarket or the store. Not for something like this. I think the restaurant will be very extreme or all sorts of. Beyond this suspicion is quite normal and simple.”
“Haha! What are you thinking, anyway? Filled with women, huh? Oh yea! Where were you going in Gloria yesterday? You're with two girls? I'm amazed, loh! Seriously!”
“No. I only went to the hospital at that time. Speaking of Gloria, why are you here? What about your job? I became curious again about all-everything.”
“It feels strange you ask about my work when you have seen them with your own eyes in this city.”
“Eh? Yes yes too. Haha! What about Alex's boss? How's things? Do you still go home often and discuss with him?”
“Last-lately not. My job is a little harder. Normally, I would just be an observer, looking for evidence, and that would be enough. But now I have to be more active in the community. Therefore I often back and forth Kannaris and Gloria.”
“Wah? Is there a community you follow here? What community?”
“Actually not so important. Just small groups. If you are curious, you can come. I'm sure the people there will be happy to make new friends.”
“Ahahah. Alright. I'll look forward to it.”
“Then, what are you doing here? Did you manage to live in this hard and dirty place? Well, seeing you healthy like this should be a stupid question, anyway!”
“At first it was hard. But the more days I can adapt and live quietly here.”
“Who are you living with? Or live alone rent an apartment?”
“Hahaha! I don't have anything like that here. I live with other people here. He's a bull beastman who works with the cops. I helped them.”
“Hah? Ye? How to help the police? You did what? help smuggling people?”
“What are you talking about? Of course not. Police with police meaning! Maintaining the integrity and tranquility of the city!”
“You? Seriously? Working with police?”
“...yah? What's wrong with that?”
“...actually not really. I'm just surprised. It seems, since going to this city your life has really changed, yes. Like living fully. Oh, ja. Did you get the invitation letter?”
“Invitation letter?”
“Yes. You went to consult with me planning to deal with the illegal to get the invitation letter, right? I thought you came here to get that. Hows it? Have you got it?”
“...Yes, yes. Invitation letter. Right! Campus invitation letter, yes?”
“Ah, yes! Th-that's one reason too. I'm still trying to find my way home. Transportation here is troublesome too, yes! Haha!”
“Take it easy. I'm not going home anytime soon. I will definitely accompany you here. Besides, my friends in the community have a way to go home. You will ask him later. He can understand your condition. I'm sure!”
“B-Good.”
“Already. No need to talk about anything serious anymore. Please order any more food. We're having fun here!”
After a while, Adrian began to switch the conversation to be more casual and humor. Trying to express his saturation after work, trying to entertain himself.
Laju assures follow only, trying to entertain himself with every joke Adrian uttered.
Because, Laju is not so able to enjoy it. He was pondering, questioning Adrian's revelation just now that pierced his heart and personal, as well as his existence that was between the monsters and the peculiarities of this city.
The pace was too busy with many unimportant things, to the point of forgetting what his initial goal was to fight hard for.
Regarding Adrian's question about the invitation letter, based on the officer who worked at the tutoring institution yesterday, it was no longer a problem.
Everything can be set up in such a way, as long as he can go home.
Then, why hasn't Laju come home all this time?
What's stopping him from going back to his city, to his world?
Slowly confusion himself with his question. Until in the end he was not so aware of his surroundings, suddenly the day was about to end.
“Well, nostalgia with old friends is fun. If you want to visit the community, just come without hesitation. You still have my card, right? There's an address, kok.”
“Ah. All righty! I'm definitely coming!”
“Then, I first yes. Bye!” adrian cried waving, leaving Laju alone in front of the restaurant.
The pace reached into his pocket, looking at the business card that Adrian had given a few weeks ago when they first met in Gloria.
The card is shabby.
Luckily, Laju could still glance at a bit of information from him.
In fact, he couldn't quite understand the address, other than the fact that the community Adrian was talking about was in Block T. Perhaps, he could ask Iris or anyone else to bring her here.
“Eh??” The rate of confusion itself.
While looking at the business card that was being held by his left hand, he accidentally saw a container that was being held by his right hand. A bag of containers that store and carry coffee orders ordered by friends in the office.
“Oh, no! I forgot!”
Nimble, Laju quickly ran to get to Parker's office, went to the fourth floor, entered the room where his friends were waiting for him.
“Hm...” long Audy's dehumanization while wriggling on the office sofa when seeing the order is no longer attractive.
“What happened in the city? Not many incoming reports are important to crack down on. Some have fights here. But it doesn't make you late for six hours?” ask Iris behind Parker's desk.
“Ehehehe!” the Laughter of Speed was trying to cool the atmosphere.
Luckily, they don't bother about this.
This made Laju able to return to his room to lie casually on his bed. To reflect on everything that is happening today with Adrian, while playing a seedy and dull business card.
“Blocks T? Where have I heard it, huh?”
