"I don't think it's necessary, because we can't be apart, right? I don't really know the streets of Paris anyway, so I'll always be with you."


Francisco smiled faintly hearing it. I don't know why but he was happy when Aphrodite said that she would always be with him. Although Aphrodite's talk led to something else, she was happy.


"Stay away. This is just just in case, because in the future we won't know what will happen right?" Francisco insisted on giving money in his hands to Aphrodite.


Aphrodite was silent for a moment staring at the thick pile of money that was now folded in the hands of Francisco who was thrust towards her.


"Get it," said Francisco.


"Huft~ well I'll save it and I'll take it. But I'm not gonna use it for anything unnecessary, okay?"


"No. You can use it for anything. Now this is your money."


"But…"


"Get it, I beg you," said Francisco, who continues to force him.


"Well, I'll take it, '" murmured Aphrodite who then grabbed the money and put it in the bag.


Fransisco smiled and saw Aphrodite finally accept the money she gave.


"Now let's eat again" said Aphrodite.


After lunch, Francisco invited Aphrodite to visit the Louvre Museum. It is a museum that has various collections in it. The museum has appeared in the cartoon Miraculous: Tales of Ladybug & Cat Noir, a CGI superhero animated series produced by French studios Zagtoon and Method Animation in collaboration with De Agostini Editore in Italy, Toei Animation in Japan, and SAMG Animation in South Korea. The series follows two Parisian teenagers, Marinette Dupain-Cheng and Adrien Agreste, who are transformed into Ladybug and Cat Noir, respectively, to protect the city from super villains. In Indonesia, the series aired on Trans7 every day at 04.45wib since December 17, 2018, as well as the second Zagtoon cartoon that aired on Indonesian television after Zak Storm on RCTI. There are currently 4 seasons, with season 4 premiering on August 13, 2021 on Disney Channel.


Musee du Louvre— in French, or The Louvre Museum in English, is one of the largest and most visited art museums and a historical monument in the world. The Louvre Museum is located on the Rive Droite Seine, the first arrondissement in Paris, France. Nearly 35,000 objects from prehistoric times to the 19th century are on display in an area of 60,600 square meters.


The museum is housed in the Louvre Palace (Palais du Louvre) which was originally a fortress built in the 12th century under the rule of Philip II. The remains of the fort can be seen in the basement of the museum. The building was expanded several times to form the Louvre Palace as it is today. In 1682, Louis XIV chose the Palace of Versailles as a private residence, leaving the Louvre to be used as a place to display royal collections. In 1692, the building was occupied by the Academie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres and the Academy Royale de Peinture et de Sculpture. Academie remained in the Louvre for the next 100 years. During the French Revolution, the French National Assembly decreed that the Louvre should be used as a museum to display the works of the nation.


The museum opened on August 10, 1793, with 537 paintings on display. The majority of the works were obtained from church and royal properties seized by the French Government. Due to structural problems with the building, the museum was closed in 1796 to 1801. The number of museum collections increased under Napoleon's rule and the museum was renamed the Napoleonic Museum. After Napoleon's defeat at the Battle of Waterloo, most of the works seized by his troops returned to their original owners. The museum's collection was further enhanced during the reigns of Louis XVIII and Charles X, and during the Second French Empire, the museum managed to acquire 20,000 collections. The museum's collection has grown with donations and gifts increasing since the time of the Third French Republic. In 2008, the museum's collection was divided into eight curatorial departments: Collection of ancient Egypt, antiquities from the Near East, Greece, Etruscan, Roman, Islamic Art, Sculpture, Decorative Arts, Painted Art, etc, Prints and Picture Art.


The Department of Print and Image Art focuses more on works done on paper. The origin of the museum collection is the work contained in the royal collection (Cabinet du Roi) which amounted to 8,600 pieces, which increased with purchases made by the state, which was, such as the purchase of 1,200 collections of Fillipo Baldinucci in 1806, and donations. The department was opened on 5 August 1797 with 415 pieces of the collection on display at Galerie d'Apollon. The collection is divided into three sections: the core, Cabinet du Roi, 14,000 copper printing plates, and a donation from Edmond de Rothschild, including 40,000 prints, 3,000 drawings, and 5,000 picture books. The exhibition site was held in Pavillon de Flore; due to the fragility of the paper material, only a few were displayed at a time.


After looking through the contents of the museum and spending quite a long time, Francisco finally invited Aphrodite to go. The time keeps passing.


Francisco took Aphrodite somewhere. Because when Aphrodite asked him where they were going next, Francisco only said that he would know later when they arrived at the place he was referring to.


Throughout the journey Francisco continues to focus on the streets that are being passed. Sometimes the man glanced at Aphrodite who looked so happy that he could not stop smiling, especially when he rubbed the contents of his gallery and looked at every photo he could get. Really nice and very fond of him, Aphrodite likes it the most when he takes pictures near the Pyramid made of glass located in front of the museum. That's really good, especially Francisco saying that the Pyramid will shine when night falls, he wants to see it. But Francisco said that it was not the right time, because there are still some places that Francisco still wants to visit with Aphrodite.


Francisco continued to drive his car until he found a forked road. The man turned and Aphrodite could see a bridge crossing.


"Where are we?" Ask Aphrodite again, I don't know how many times today.


"We'll go across, there I'll take you to a better place."
