Become A Human In Another World
ACT 5: Chapter 12 - Strange?
While Yuan Yi and Jian Koo were discussing in another room...
"Ahh, I'm a little bored, can I walk the street?" ask Liu Xiu quietly.
He turned his head towards the servant who was sitting closed his eyes while looking down, waiting for the order that was addressed to him. But it seemed like it was intended to prevent Liu Xiu from going anywhere.
Now Liu Xiu was in the heart of Li Tian city, and with some mysterious things here, made Liu Xiu curious.
But doing some unkind acts would also make his existence in Li Tian somewhat threatened.
("Maybe I have to undo the intention to go around? Ahh, but this all makes me thirsty.")
"What kind of drink do you want, master Liu Xiu?"
("Whoa?!! What the hell is that?!! How come? Is he esper? Why does he know what I'm thinking?!!") liu Xiu shouted inwardly.
"Then, green tea please." Liu Xiu replied.
The waiter nodded, then touched the tea utensils, began to work on his work. Then Liu Xiu slightly paid attention to the servant.
("Humm? Black hair? That was quite a surprise. In this world it is very rare for people with black hair. Just a few Beasts and humans, so I rarely see her hair.") thought Liu Xiu commenting on the waiter.
But whatever it was, Liu Xiu knew that the maid had not thought about what Liu Xiu was thinking, which left her perplexed.
He then served the tea that had just been made, while looking down slowly.
Silent silent Liu Xiu marveled at how the waitress was making tea, and some way to call it. Because Liu Xiu was actually a tea maniac, so he was keeping a close eye on how to make it.
("The way it makes tea, and the taste, and the aroma, is really amazing. I must study with him.") Liu Xiu thought after trying the tea served.
"Thank you for your compliment. Only I am still not enough to take a disciple" the maid said in a flat tone.
"Are you esper?!!" shouted Liu Xiu in response to her.
"Ha ha ha! Don't think about Amako! He was our best servant, but I admit he was a bit strange. He's been flat-faced like that ever since I brought him from the Nikoku Empire. But, he's a good boy."
"Ahh, for her abilities, she is able to know the wishes of the person she serves, as long as it is related to presenting something. He can tell if what you think is related to the presentation. It makes him know your taste." continued Jian Koo again.
Jian Koo entered suddenly without warning, but Liu Xiu was not too surprised by it. Because indeed Jian Koo did not intend to sneak around.
Liu Xiu was silent for a moment, looking at Amako with a confused face. He tilted his head for a moment, then moved to stare at Jian Koo.
Behind Jian Koo, Yuan Yi walked in with a tired face, and was disappointed.
Liu Xiu could at least guess what happened to him. But...
"Amako. Do you have a surname?" liu Xiu asked suddenly.
It made Amako, even Jian Koo flinch, but the corner of Jian Koo's mouth actually increased, forming a crescent moon, but Jian Koo immediately closed his mouth which gave off his evil thoughts.
"Uhm. Ii'm sorry. Do you know about the country?" jian Koo asked.
"Humm, no. His name and face reminded me of something. But, is it strange for me to ask her surname?" ask Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu had yet to understand the difference between "Family name" and "Anal name of the family". It could have been that the person who heard her considered it a mistake, but after hearing Liu Xiu's reply just now made Jian Koo and Yuan Yi convinced.
"Hoo... Has Liu Xiu had time to visit the country?"
"No, not yet. I only heard a few stories about him. But most people don't tell the country in detail. After all, it was hard to find information about her." Liu Xiu replied.
Liu Xiu understood, he was currently being interrogated, and he had to look for the right answer at this moment.
It was impossible for him to say that he was a reincarnator, and there were countries that had such a similar name arrangement.
Jian Koo nodded, muttering slightly "He hasn't been there yet, has he?".
"I understand. Nak Liu Xiu is a person who likes to gather information, right?"
"I understand. So how about it, Amako?" Jian Koo turned to Amako who was still staring at them fixedly with a flat face.
"Sato."
"Humm?"
"Sato Amako's. My name is Sato Amako." replied Amako.
It seems that Amako doesn't mind too much. But that made Liu Xiu even more curious about the Nikoku Empire.
"alright. I'll say what I mean." Liu Xiu sat up straight.
"I've already seen how Miss Yuan Yi practices an extremely outstanding martial arts ability. And because of some things, I can't do that."
"It opened my eyes, that I was nothing but a mere small fry. And hearing Yuan Yi's advice, I was properly trained to take up training. Especially how Yuan Yi showed me her abilities. That's so awesome."
Liu Xiu concocted a bit of a story, which made Yuan Yi snort angrily.
"Therefore, can I be your disciple? It might be a burden, but please!! I want to be a more useful person!! I wanted to help people more, but I realized that it needed strength! Please accept me as your student!!" liu Xiu shouted filled with emphasis.
The atmosphere was silent for a moment, while Jian Koo looked at Liu Xiu sharply. He then turned his head towards Yuan Yi, like asking and asking for some confirmation.
While Yuan Yi merely shrugged, Liu Xiu still lowered his head, maintaining his position to plead.
Jian Koo sighed, though,
"Huftt. I can see that you're not lying. I can also see your determination is not a fake. It's all real, when you say you need strength to protect others."
"Then?!!"
"But!! I am not the Head of the Family at the moment. Only the Head of the Li Family had the right to decide such a matter. And I gave it to my son. I only acted as Yuan Yi's special Master until now" Jian Koo said.
Hearing that, Liu Xiu lowered his head with a sad expression. Wellh, from the start he had not expected that things would go smoothly, so Liu Xiu was not too disappointed.
"Then, can I meet with Family Head Li? I understand this is difficult, but can I ask for it?" ask Liu Xiu.
"uh? We'll meet him right now" Jian Koo said as he stood up. Yuan Yi only sighed, then slightly turned around. He took out a stick that looked like a display, and handed it to Jian Koo.
It wasn't seen, but Amako had already cleaned the tea set and emptied the room. That back made Liu Xiu amazed.
"Until when are you gonna stand there? Follow me!' said Jian Koo moving his staff gave a sign.
Liu Xiu did not understand, but he simply obeyed and followed Jian Koo and Yuan Yi.
They both walked and stopped in the unroofed part of the house, and climbed a 3 by 3 metre square rock with an orange rock propping up underneath.
Liu Xiu followed, and climbed onto the rock, until he realized....
"This rock is starting to float?!" liu Xiu asked slightly surprised.
He looked at Jian Koo, who looked delighted while channeling something golden-yellow from his body onto the stone, with the intermediary of a wooden stick.
Liu Xiu could not help but be amazed to see that, and he concluded that that the energy, the life energy that made the stone float was getting higher and higher, he said, started leaving the work office and approached the stone that floated quietly above them.
It didn't take long, until the floating stone slowly approached and aligned high with the larger stone and propped up a mansion, which made Liu Xiu gaping at it.
The three of them descended from the small rock, and moved to the floating rock where the house was. To be exact, they were now in front of a large gate.
"Great.." said Liu Xiu revealing what he was thinking.
Yuan Yi who heard that could not stop smiling, even looking proud of what happened to Liu Xiu.
"Well, I knew you'd look like that. Anyway, welcome. This was the Li Family's residence. You should be honored because of kmari loh!! " said Yuan Yi
