Atlia: The Loyalty of Gratitude
Chapter 4: The Strange People

Two hours later.

In the hallway of the ship, Rei talked about what was happening in the world today to Lia, they were talking at the window. But it seems that right now they are talking about the important thing from it.

" Rei, I've been curious since the first time we met ... Are you actually a man or a woman ? "

"Heh ? "

Instantly Rei was silent and surprised at Lia's question.

" Wait a minute, what's up with that question. Of course I'm a man. Why are you suddenly asking like that ?"

" Because rei's hair looks long and beautiful like a woman, but your Aura is like a man but from your face radiates beauty like a woman. That's why I'm confused. "

" The way you explain it is very complicated. "

" I'm just talking about whatever comes into my head. So Rei was a boy, one of the suspicions in my head started to disappear."

"..."

Rei smiled strangely. A moment later there was a "Kriukkk" sound coming from the direction of Lia's stomach. Lia herself was startled by the sound and slightly lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Lia ... Are you hungry ? "

" I.iya like. "

"There's no shame. Hunger is one of the traits of man. All right, let's go eat "

" B. okay "

Rei slightly laughed with his mannerisms, Lia's face even flushed slightly in embarrassment. Then Rei started walking towards the cafeteria, Lia followed him and walked beside him.

The two of them walked together through the sizable Long Ship Aisle.

" But I was surprised, there is also a place to eat. Rei, besides where to eat here what else ? "

" Umm in addition to the dining room there is the Main Room, Raung weapon equipment, Machine room, Room, Raung break, and so on. If counted there are many, but often used it is possible. "

" Oh great yeah. Like everything is here. "

" Yes, this ship can be said to be similar to the 2nd headquarters anyway so deliberately given a lot of room for comfort and others. Once we get to the base I'll take you around later so be prepared. "

" Well rei, I'll look forward to it. "

Lia smiled happily too. A few minutes later they arrived at the Dining room or people used to call it the Canteen. They both began to enter the canteen.

" Nyaa many. "

I saw a lot of people in the cafeteria. In addition, she also noticed many people wearing Uniforms similar to Rei's wear.

" Is such a dress famous ? Many people wear the same clothes"

" Yeah maybe than popular you can call it a uniform. Members of this organization are required to wear it. "

" Ehh .. that's it. "

Lia was staring at Rei with an innocent look.

(" Yes it can be understood. Before coming here Lia was confined there so things like this were new to her.")

Rei who was thinking like just retorted back by exhalating while smiling at him. Just as they were about to arrive at the empty table, suddenly there were the sounds of running footsteps and starting to approach them.

" Master !!!! "

Say someone with a shout. The voice that was heard was very familiar to Rei then he looked back and was seen in a woman dressed similar to rei running towards them while shouting to call Rei.

" Have I thought, Mia ? "

" Master !!! I miss you "

Mia started jumping towards Rei. Rei reflexively catches Mia then she slams her onto the floor. Lia who saw it was shocked and silent because she saw a woman being slammed by Rei.

" Awww . Master, it hurts."

" I'm sorry, my body moves on its own "

Mia stood back up while holding her body that was sick due to the slamming.

" Masterr was ruthless, her moor slammed this beautiful woman onto the floor. "

" Your own fault for suddenly jumping straight at me. "

" I just miss the master and want to hug you "

" What's missing, we'll meet this morning. "

" If it's morning, it's noon now so I'm short of master intake "

" It's up to you. "

Rei sighed Long while scratching his head despite not itching. Mia just smiled happily in front of Rei.

Mia Miala is a Front Line Division Special Agent. Mia has sharp indigo eyes with long lashes. His long purple hair had a waist length. Height about 165 cm. Although his nature was like childishness but he was also one of the subordinates that Rei believed in.

Mia also glanced at Lia who was near Rei.

"Master, who's that girl. "

" ?!"

Lia was immediately shocked because Mia realized she was immediately hiding behind Rei. Rei who realized what Lia wanted to do instantly held onto both of her shoulders while thrusting them forward so that Mia could see more clearly.

" Ohh Lia. He is my new family. You understand what I mean, right ? "

" Ok master, I get it. "

" Lia, there's no need to fear he's one of my subordinates. So try to introduce yourself to her."

"..."

Lia just kept quiet and answered him by nodding once slowly to give "iya" to rei. Mia started looking at Lia with a smile.

" Good day, my name is Mia Miala call me sister Mia yaa. Then can I know what your name is ? "

" L ... Lia, Lia Rilfa. "

" So Lia Rilfa. Nice name Lia."

" Rei gave this name, just now. "

" Oh, I'm guessing you were also given a name by the master, right?"

" Also ? "

Lia tilted her head in confusion and curiosity at Mia's words.

" Yep, I was also given a Name by the Master. Good right.  "

Mia answered happily, Lia was surprised because not only was she named by Rei. Then Lia thought of something in her mind.

" Well ... Is Sister Mia Also Part of the K-Family  "

Lia's speech stopped when Lia's stomach voice sounded back.

Lia's face was immediately flushed due to the embarrassment of her stomach voice and covered her face. Rei and Mia who saw Lia's embarrassed face both immediately laughed softly.

" Okay let's eat, mia you want to follow ? "

" Ok master "

Mia was pleased with Rei's invitation then the three of them sat down at the empty dining table. Lia was sitting next to Rei because she was still a bit embarrassed on Mia and mia was sitting on the other side of the table.

A few moments later a servant approached their table.

" Master, today what food do you want. "

The servant spoke politely to Rei.

" Ahh then serve us a special menu today only, do not forget to drink it too. Portion of three. "

" Okay, Master, please wait a moment. "

The waiter replied with a slight bow to pay his respects while answering to Rei, then he left the table and walked towards the kitchen.

Lia who was on the bench beside Rei just kept quiet while looking at Rei who ordered food.

How many minutes passed, the waiter returned with three plates of rice and three bowls of soup containing carrots, celderi leaves, cabbage leaves and sliced chicken meat.

" Please Enjoy Her Chicken Soup "

" Yes, Thank You "

"... "

Rei thanked the waiter, then the waiter lowered his head slightly and walked away from the table. Lia simply fell silent and focused on the bowl of soup.

Mai also without further ado drank the soup sauce.

" uahh, the sauce is warm and tasty "

Lia who heard mia said that, she also held the bowl of soup with both hands. From his hands he felt the warmth generated from the soup. Then he lifted the bowl with his hand and drank the soup slowly.

The sense of soup felt by his tongue was spread into him and his mouth was reflex and said 1 sentence.

" Good"

Rei saw Lia who was enjoying her food was just smiling gently at him, although Lia was unaware of Rei's expression and continued to enjoy her food.

15 minutes later Rei and Lia finished eating their meal.

" The content ."

" That was good food, rei. I think I want another ."

" Yes, it's okay to but."

They both looked towards Mia who ate over 15 plates more and now still continued eating her.

" I think it's over. "

" Am ... Sister Mia, eat it a lot ya "

" Thank you for the compliment Lia "

" I don't think that's a compliment, Mia. "

Said Rei and lia while having a strange face to the mia who was still continuing to eat.

Rei and Lia leaned on her bench to relax for a while.

" Is there anything else you want to visit, Lia. "

" mmm ? This place is too big so I'm confused "

" Just relax, we've just eaten sometimes our bodies need time to digest food. "

" All right "

Lia also began to think with a moment of contemplation.

" How about we go to the main room of the ship "

Suddenly a voice came from behind Rei while holding his shoulder. Rei responded and looked behind him behind him was Mina who smiled by looking at Rei's face up close.

" Master, I've been looking for you. "

" A.ahh Mina's.   "

The look on Rei's face instantly changed like a person holding back his fear while laughing, indeed Mina was currently smiling but behind her smile was a sign that she was being furious at Rei.

Because Rei was confused as to what to say to mia who was in a big rage, he was silent in a thousand languages. Mia who was aware of Mina's whereabouts also looked towards her.

" Ah Mina, did you come for lunch ?"

" No Mia, I'll eat later. Thank you for letting me know that Master is here "

" Of course "

It turns out that the one who told us about Rei's whereabouts was Mia. But that moment was not important to rei, but rather he still did not get to think of a fitting reason to make Mina calm down.

" So master, is there anything I want to say to me."

" I. mina Se... Actually I'm not here to relax or anything. Except I was just asking Lia to make a joke. Not that I'm running away from work and relaxing or anything like that."

Mina also looked towards a girl that was Lia who was staring at her.

" So your name is Miss. What a beautiful name. "

"Te.thank you. Rei gave the name. "

" Ohh, you too. Congratulations to "

Lia answered Mina's question timidly even though she was also targeting the previous mina words but Mina had already looked towards Rei again.

" In that case, let's go to the Main Room of the ship huh. I'm sure you'll be interested. That way the Master can also while working too right ? "

" I. Yes  "

" Lia, you don't have a problem with this either."

Mina looked towards Lia.

" But I'm not bothering you. "

" It's okay, just calm down. It's true that Master. "

" i. yes. "

It seems Rei resigned to all the decisions of Mina. Mina looked at Mia as well.

" Mia, you're coming too. We'll have a meeting soon. "

" Alright Mina. "

" Ok, let's be quick. The others are waiting.

Mina's smile on both of them.

Rei, Lia and Mia stood up from the stool and then they walked towards the main hall with Rei walking in front of them.

A few minutes later they arrived at the door of the Main Room of the ship made of iron.

" All right, let's go in. "

Rei put his palm on Scan which was stuck on the door, then the door opened.

Inside the room was very spacious, and there were a lot of Monitors, Computers, and other electronic devices. But even though the room was large there were only 4 people in the room which contained 2 women and 2 men.

" Whoa, how many her entourage. "

" Ahh, your master is a long time ago. "

" Good day, the master came too. We've been waiting 1 hour here.  "

" Hahaha, your Master must have scolded Mina right. Your own fault. "

" You guys are so noisy. Yuie, Raiha, Riku, Doma. "

Say rei while calling out their respective names in the order they speak.

" I'm sorry to keep you waiting "

Mina came in and apologized.

" Wahh, you're all here. Then we're the last ones ?"

Mia entered with a smile while smiling.

" Mia from wherever you are."

" I'm sorry, I had lunch with the master."

"Ma. I haven't had lunch since and am even with the master."

" Hehehh. Sorry about Raiha. "

" You are yaa. Just watch out later. "

Raiha said angrily to Mia, but mia responded with a laugh.

Lia was just silent and stayed outside for fear of entering. Rei who realized Lia's existence immediately held onto Lia's hand then pulled her forward to show them. Lia was a bit surprised by the rei who immediately pulled him forward and immediately nervous to meet new people.

"Ok, before we get started, you need to know something. From now on, she is part of my family. You guys understand, right ? "

" Wohohohh, who's that cute girl"

Raiha immediately ran over to Lia to take a closer look.

" What is your name ? "

" Na.. My name is Lia, Lia Rilfa. S... Greetings to. know "

Lia's body was trembling due to nervousness and getting acquainted in front of new people. Raiha heard Lia's name immediately hugging her tightly.

" Ma.sweetness. Can make me a Master. "

" Of course not. Raiha at least introduce yourself to her. "

" Cih Master is stingy, Ok if my name is Raiha Kian. Hello to know "

Raiha Kian, Special Agent Information Division. A sweet woman with blue eyes. Straight waist-length hair, she has a square bangs with her brow length and her hair is black. She is about 159 cm tall and wears the same clothes as Mia, and Mina is the same military uniform as Rei, but with the Female version.

" Raiha's sister, it's nice to meet you."

" Wahh, this boy is also very polite and calls me Kak , this is the first time in my life. I'm also very happy to meet you Lia. "

Raiha smiled as she gently stroked Lia's head.

A man, Riku, walks towards Raiha.

" Raiha is quite there, because your attitude is like that so from the first no one called you brother. "

" Noisy You're Riku's Brother "

Riku fell to the floor dramatically while crying.

" uhh .. I'm in. said noisy by my sister, I'll be hated. I said this for you. "

Everyone in the room looked at Riku who was slumped on the floor with a strange look. Rei looked at Raiha.

" Take it easy on him Raiha."

" Ehh, why me ? Master is there. "

" If this is the case only you can calm him down. Anyway the beginning of the cause is you"

" ughh... Alright. "

Raiha took off her hug on Lia while sighing and looked at Riku back.

" Sister Riku was calm earlier it was just a joke, where maybe I hate my dear brother right. "

Hearing those words, Riku stood up straight again while giving her bangs like pretending nothing happened.

" Ohh .... Really, hmm I've been expecting it if it's just pretend. "

" No-no, look from wherever you really believe about it. "

Rei said to Riku. Lia was curious and looked at Riku and Raiha who looked similar.

" Are you siblings, huh ?  "

" Yes, although it is a bit heavy to say Si Siscon (His own sister) is my Big Brother Bladder His name is Riku "

" My name is Riku Kian, I'm Raiha's beloved sister "

Riku Kian A Special Frontline Division Agent and Pilot, she has short black hair with blue eyes. With a height of 165 cm. The clothes he was wearing were also similar to Rei's clothes. His rank is Special Agent.

" Alright, Nice to meet Riku's feet. "

" ughh... People other than Raiha call me sister. It feels. amazing ."

" Stop that, Disgust. "

" Ugh... "

Riku was again sprawled on the ground because the insult of Raiha was heard again.

While being in the middle of the commotion carried out by Riku and reach suddenly Lia's forehead was held by a woman named Yuie. Lia was also reflexive and looked towards Yuie.

" Umm, looks like you don't have a fever or anything like that. Thank goodness, if you get sick or say anything to me, yes. I'm a doctor here."

" Oh, thank you. Umm Who? "

" Ahh My name is Doctor Yuie Deviana. For you it may be the first meeting, but for me it's my second meeting with you. "

" Second ? "

" Yes, I'm the doctor who examined you earlier in the treatment room. Even if you don't seem to realize it. "

" Oh, that's how it is. Then it's nice to see you again Dr. Yuie's. "

" Ahh, of course Lia. Next time you want to be my guinea pig. "

"Ehh means ? "

A moment later Lia was confused by Yuie's words but she began to realize that there was someone who had been staring at her sharply, namely Doma.Lia also glanced at Doma.

The man had blonde hair and wore sunglasses. If you look well, the color of his eyes is black. He wears a gold chain around his neck, and wears a uniform that resembles a rei even though he is longgari.

Lia was a little scared of Doma because her face and clothes looked like delinquents. Doma walked closer to Lia.

" Yoo Miss Lia. Looks like you saw me from earlier. Is there anything strange. "

" a.ahhh no really. "

Lia also immediately threw away her face because she was afraid of the intimidation done by Doma.

Rei who saw the two of them directly patted the back of Doma's head hard.

" You scared him. "

" Okay, Iya-iya I'm sorry Master. "

Doma stroked the part of his head that was in pain and looked at Lia.

" I'm sorry that I scared you earlier Miss Lia. My name is Doma Farhid. "

Lia looked at doma again and smiled at her.

" Ahh. It's okay Kak Doma "

Doma Farhid A Special Agent Frontline Division and Equipment. Even though he looks like that, he is a good person. Maybe if it is called Do not judge the book from the cover eat Doma is the person in question.

" Ok with this all introductions are done right, then. Let's start the Meeting_"

Suddenly Mina patted Rei on the shoulder while looking at Rei with an annoyed look. Rei who noticed it only smiled while in deed.

" Ahh. oia Mina you haven't. "

" do you not forget me, Master ? "

" T. of course not. I don't mean to want to skip your introductions or anything like that. "

" Hehh so, I understand it once.  "

Instantly the sound of a blow was heard again and a moment later the head of Rei was hit by Mina. The others noticed Rei being hit like a look at him as usual.

Mina walked towards lia .

" I'm sorry about the commotion, Lia. Though before even before we have met but I forgot to get acquainted. "

" it's okay. "

Said Lia smiling strangely as Mina just hit rei hard.

" My name is Mina Pratista. Hello to Lia. If you need anything just tell me yes. "

" Thyma, Brother Mina "

Mina smiled as she gently stroked Lia's head.

A while later Rei was standing at a slightly high place while holding his head that was sick with abis hit by a mina. He clapped his hands once so everyone could see him.

" Ok . Everyone has been acquainted with Lia. All right, let's start the meeting . "
