. . .

Seeing her staring at me like that, I slowly and my mechanically stiffened neck look towards the almost top n.a.k.e.d Aisha and hug her lightly "D-d-don't look" I whisper.

Of course, everyone would move their eyes towards the newly destroyed place near them out of curiousity; and if Aisha and her eyes met, it'll be a disaster, also I wanted to confirm something— but then not a seconds later, from the window outside. I saw many girls that were gossiping, rather—

'F*cking hell!?' It was my Familia other than the hostess gossiper.

And Vjara at the same time, destroyed the wall as per command by my fuming Goddess and she dash towards me and pinch my ear.

"Ayayayaya!" I g.r.o.a.n.e.d, whilst the other who witness, chuckled while watching the scene.

'Damn so embarassing!' is what I thought. But I ain't let myself get caught this time. With that, I immediately slip out of Artemis sama's hand and teleported out, leap up and repeat the process until I see no one—Other than the girl I was chasing after.

"Hmp, what do you want?", she ask as I landed from her side whose looking the whole Orario. We're at the southeast wall of Orario at this time. I mean, I chase after her up until here.

"Nothing" I, at the same time, seated and ask "you won't ask why am I at that place?" I was talking about the brothel.

"Why would I?" She replied devoid of emotion

"Oh yeah?.. you're r..right" I stuttered and stunned by her straight answer. Yup, what am I expecting from her by the way?

Why would I like this girl again? Is it because she's beautiful? Love at first sight? I don't understand myself.

I then silently look from afar too.

But still, the courage overwhelmed me after a couple of minutes "The missing memories that I had..." I paused while my voice tone turned slower "...I don't know what happen out there or if I offended you. But if you really don't like me or hate me or any reasons you have, just say it and I won't chase after you anymore. If you want... I started today", is what I said

...

..

.

Not even a whole minutes and I stand back up again after noticing that she didn't have any spare to reply.

"I like..." she muttered.

Is that her answer? I unconciously look towards her as my heart skip a beat

But then she continued "...the view from here, is mesmerizing and the serenity it gives, its peace, and its order" out of nowhere, she expresses

"High places... are the favourite place my former captain always visited..."

"It gives her clearer mind of what her next course of action or to cool her head"

"But for me... all I see, is a high place and lower ground. I couldn't see what she could... until Syr found me, the start of my new life, thereafter, I realize and saw it atlast... the effect of out justice"

I talked back, "Astrea Familia, right? I heard them. From her"

"H-Huh!?" She look towards me, beet in red "I-I mean, I didn't thought she's kind of a Girl who was talkative, and to a stranger?!"

"Rude, I'm not a stranger, alright?" Replying her, I followed "...your Familia, is like mine, our Goddess is alike. They love people who were weak and/or who cannot fight back" I continued "but, all of us has our own life.. you finish your job. You done your job. And it is time for you to look for yourself.."

"..what's important is you from today onwards. If that nightmare are still—" but then she was stubborn and cut me off

"...I don't care! once I've found their remnants, I'll kill them, I'll destroy them.. even if its cost me my life!" she said while shivering full of killing intent. I see, the flames of revenge are still lingering inside her.

I sigh deeply and reply "I'll help you out then..." and seated with crossed leg.

Though her answer are out of nowhere and the topic slide to a different section. Atleast she never said she hated me or to stay away from her. With that, I feel the relief, that alone is enough for me.

Meanwhile

An hour later, Zetta find himself tied hardly by the rope and was infront of his Goddess. He was wrapped up by his own Familia after his return after talking with the elf he reaaaally like.

Of course he only stay still by their forceful attitude.

"Why are you in that area?" Artemis who was in front, asks

Zetta with a poker face, replied "Well, I don't know?"

"HUH!? you! Don't tell me you've been charmed!? You've been charmed b..b..by Ishtar!? wait!? where is your scarf!?" Artemis asks panickly

'F*ck yeah, she buy me', Zetta thought so as he remembered that he didn't equip his scarf while moving towards the brothel —afraid not to be affected by the aphrosadiac or else he won't lose his v.i.r.g.i.n.i.t.y.

But who would have thought that would be his excuse in the end.

"We..well, I was wandering and find out that place, and my the original scarf... they're already at my pupils, Ais and Bell and I haven't yet to finish tailoring mine... I-I see, so is that it? I've been charmed, sigh—— so I was actually in heaven at that time, my Goddess?" He reasoned out at his Goddess and in end and won with that kind excuse as his Goddess' could only do is to sob.

Later that night, Zetta move up towards their mansion's roof and look from afar while overlooking the whole Orario.

Closing his eyes as he remember his conversation with Ryuu's conversation are still fresh, as if she's still beside him, talking.

"...Why did you have to say that?" Ryuu asks after Zetta tell her that he help her in her revenge

"Well, for once, the Evilus is like a thorn in our life. They were threat in general and of course to my Goddess who I wanted to leasurely enjoy her life here. I want her life away from madness and massacring or expose to danger. So annihilating evilus is one of my goal after hearing their deeds. Of course, second is to help you carry the burden called revenge" hearing him, she bit her lower lips.

"Even if you don't want to, I'll still help you. I'll stretch my hand out until you yourself will grab them" Zetta smiled

Ryuu at the same time shudder and didn't know what to answer or what to express, she wanted to ask why would he go that far but didn't ask and instead stare at him until her eyes drop a couple of transparent white stream while her lips wriggled until she couldn't help herself but to cry aloud. Until she unconciously lean her head to his shoulder. Who would have thought, the stoic and reticent elf would show such expression.

Zetta at the same time, close his eyes and smile, "You are still a person afterall. If one doesn't have anyone they can lean on, they've become as hard as stalagmite, hard and thorny, and until they've become afraid of others hand to grab on. I was close of becoming like that but that time, I have 3 friends. Just like a family, they accepted my greater and my worst. And as for you and your worst..." he pause for quite a while and cough, "w-w-well, y-you have me.. and Syr.. o-or B-Bell" stuttering, Zetta thought 'I didn't want to said that last name. But it was unfair of me if I didn't regarded Bell as her important person.. but it looks like.. that was a bad move afterall'

Zetta wanted to grab her head and c.a.r.e.s.s them while she was crying but he was too afraid to do so

"Thank you" He, at the same time heard Ryuu's voice and the elf then stands up and wiped her tears and snot. She smile genuinely this time until she jumped down after saying her thanks.

Current time..

Zetta open up his eyes and look at his hand

"Why.. why I didn't try to grab that beautiful pale hand"

he muttered and form a fist, so hard that it created crackles sound. His lower lips were bleeding as he subconciously bit them.

"I hate it, being bland at all"

This is the first time his affection to a girl was far above than a friend and didn't know if he'll become aggressive or wait for her answer—As for the former, he was afraid to shut down on the spot—in which he already did. and as for the latter, he didn't know if his feelings is actually reached her until this point. With that, Zetta hanged half of his body from the wall while flop his feet that lost the power to move.
