Elvarette Shiro
Episode 30: Communication

Name: Elvarette Shiro

The cafe where I sit today is quite comfortable, although a little noisy because of the train. The silhouette of a duck and a mini blue whale makes it the most striking place of all places. The walls of the cafe that tend to be ivory white further accentuate the yellow silhouette. Ohba, who had helped me with my suitcase, put it in the cafe and sat down next to me.

"Next time just bring a smaller suitcase when traveling. You know you're short still carrying a big suitcase!"

"Why did you say I was short? I'm not too short, just too tall!"

"That's the same!!!"

"Then we're here to wait for what?"

"Waiting for my partner, he said he'll be here soon."

"By the way, I love this place that looks beautiful in some corners."

"You'll be even more amazed by this place once you know its specialties."

"Privilege? What speciality is Ohba?"

Kata Ohba, kweki & wakwak cafe is a unique place. Wherever we go we will definitely meet this place near the station. Whether we are in Berlin, Cairo, Surabaya, London, or various places around the world, this place will always exist. It is said that this place will follow wherever we are on duty.

This is a place that is not affected by the limitations of space and time. Ohba said, this place exists so that the guards can blend in with the surroundings without anyone noticing. The display that can solve this condition is very suitable for transit places waiting for the arrival of black trains. Ohba used to use this place as a second home while carrying out his duties. He told me about his experience as a third guard.

I look at his experience, it feels like what he did was done of his own free will, no complaints or regrets. For Ohba, the experience of inviting people who will go to the next nature is full of wisdom and life learning. The average person is afraid of death because he is not willing to give up what he gets in the world.

Ohba said, The world is a testing ground for the descendants of Adam. For the person who is lured by the temptations of the world, what is pursued during life in the world is the goal. They consider possessions, positions, and fanaticism to be what makes them live forever. But no, all he got was a mere pit.

And on average, those who are so will be difficult to be invited back or picked up by force though. Therefore, there is a special protocol regarding such people. Ohba explained to me that if someone we picked refused, then I had to write down the person's name and there would be a special officer who was always ready to take on the task of forcibly picking up. Usually they are in the rear train cars and there are special rooms such as confinement.

That's what he usually faces when he meets people who don't want to die. For those who are ready to live and want to meet the Light. They were ready to wait for us sincerely. And people like this who are often friends of discussion and sharing experiences during his life. They got service just like we did on the train. They will be served according to their service to others while in the world.

When we had a serious conversation, there appeared a waitress dressed in blue toska and light cream trousers. His face was bright like a moon with lips that were always smiling. She was so beautiful and so friendly to both of us, her eyes and life were more like those of a western or northern Asian. Her red hair was also almost like mine, equally bright red yet she tended to be wavy.

"Hey, long time no see Arafis, how are you? Do you have a job now?" The waitress said.

"As you can see, I've always been on duty and now it's my duty to accompany this short girl as the third guard."

"SHORT?"

"You've always been ignorant of your juniors, oh, what's your name, pretty girl?"

"my name? My name is Elvarette Shiro, but you can call me Elvy. And brother?"

"You can call me Kana, so you're now replacing Saki as the third guard?"

"I... That's right, brother."

"Thank God, now we will often meet in this cafe. Oh right, your phone is currently on its way here, maybe while waiting you can order food or drink first?"

"I'll order you green tea and sambosa bread."

"If you were Elvy?"

"I'll order chocolate milk, is there a sister?"

"Of course there is, here there is always except when there is none?"

"Huh?"

"Don't be surprised, if you're here you'll see strange creatures all day."

"Sir Kana, has Ohba always been like that?"

"It's very often."

"No, you're always ignorant of everyone."

"It's okay, we miss that conversation."

"So, where's Alice?"

"He's on his way, you guys grab the herbs and stuff you ordered."

"Alice? Who's she?"

"He's the one who's gonna help you here, and now he's your partner."

The clock shows at 09:45 local time. It was too early for people around. But for me it's noon. Our long journey made the stomach hungry again. At least there is a food menu. However, until now I am still confused about what to order. There are too many menus that are foreign to me. But I'm interested in the cafe's mascot, a duck and a mini blue whale.

The two mascots seem to be the main attraction in this place, especially in the bar where the cashier is. The duck and blue whale doll seemed to greet anyone who came here. Instead of me being confused by the menu, maybe a little walk around the cafe can help me find what I want to order.

"Can I have a look at this place? Maybe this can help me find the menu I'm going to order?"

"Please Elvy, you can look around while waiting for Alice and Emily's sister to bring groceries."

"Thank you brother!"

"Oh yes Arafis, do you have an interesting story for us?"

"I've always kept interesting stories for all of you, but I made green tea first."

"Tumben you didn't order coffee?"

"Because the person who made the coffee is taking my order, if you make the coffee, it's afraid it's bad and it's upsetting the new visitor. Remember, there's something else in the dimension about coffee, because what makes coffee unpleasant almost destroys the world by its customers who are scientists genius."

"You think I'm an alien who makes coffee! You're just there."

"It's possible, then make it green tea!"

"You're this, it still hasn't changed."

"As far as you go, I'll make you some tea. Oh yes for the sauce is still taken Alice's sister."

"Yes, that's it."

When Ohba and Kana discuss something absurd, I am attracted to these two cafe mascots. I approached him and felt the doll especially the duck. When I held the doll, there was a voice of a foreign man with a heavy tone. I don't know where it came from.

"Hey lady, have you found the menu you're looking for?"

"Who is that?"

"I'm here!"

"Where?"

"Under you Miss!"

As I was shocked, the mini blue whale spoke to me. Just this time I saw a doll that could talk like a person. Then I attached my face to the blue whale doll to observe more clearly. Then another voice appeared, this time the voice was slightly hoarse. The voice told me to lower the duck doll back to the cashier's desk.

"Hey, can you put me down? I'm keeping the cashier tofu!"

"Well, can you talk too?"

"Yes of course."

"What are you guys really?"

"You must be new, huh? My name is wakwak the blue whale. And he's..."

"I'm kweki, the most exotic and charming duck in this place, by the way who are you? A buyer? Sales coffee? Cashier sales? A guest? Plumber? A decorator? Train passengers? Train officers? Cleaning services? Parking person? Loper Newspaper? An electrician? Or..."

"Hey kweki, don't you buy everything! How would he explain who he is if you mentioned everything?"

"Eh... L'm... I'm just a girl." My answer is a little confused.

When I was about to explain who I was, Kana came and explained who I was while picking up jars, teapots and cups of tea. He described myself as the new third guard with his friendly and so gentle tone.

"He's the new third keeper of kweki, wakwak. He's gonna be our partner here."

"Huh? This kid's the third guard? Is that true?" Kweki.

"Actually, I'm 21."

"But because you're short?" Cetus.

"short? It's because I'm malnourished that I'm short like this, he.he.he.."

"Where was the guard before? Did he move?"

"Geez, are you asking or are you trying to interrogate me anyway?" Wakwak.

"I'll just ask wakwak."

"But the question you mentioned is like introgating! Elvy, I'm sorry, my friend! Sometimes he is a little exaggerated when meeting new people, but he is really good. Proof he's a cashier."

"That's because Emily's coming with Alice, wakwak!"

"You two are so funny!"

"Thank you Miss Elvy, it's nice to meet you."

"Kwa... Welcome here too. Don't be surprised by the excitement that will often occur here."

Shortly after, there was someone who walked into the cafe, a little girl dressed similarly to Kana's sister but in the form of a dress. He came in with a fairly large brown paper bag. Her shiny black hair tends to be purplish wavy. The skin is a smooth light brown typical of latin americans. His eyes were bright blue like sapphires. His face was full of joy and his smile was soothing.

"Good morning everyone! Brother Kana, are the guests waiting for Brother Alice already arrived?"

"Here, they're on table number three. Oh, where is Alice's sister?"

"He's still in the car, brother."

"And you? You must be one of those guests! My name is Emily Sanchez. You can just call me Emily, and if you know what your name is?"

"My name is Elvarette Shiro, just call me Elvy. Are you a friend of this duck?"

"Kewey? Sure do. He's my friend and everyone in this cafe. She's a little chatty but kind."

"Hey, why didn't I mention it too?" Wakwak protest.

"Oh yes, sorry I forgot wakwak. And this is wakwak, our most diligent co-worker here."

After a while, a tall woman appears carrying the same pouch as Emily and a gray totebag in her other hand. I was going to help bring her luggage but it was preceded by Emily. I thought I was the only one from east Asia, apparently he was the same when he met.

The color of his pink eye tends to be narrow but his eyes look sharp. White and tall like a model but dressed a chef without a hat. White hair sebahu increasingly confirms if he's an independent figure when I value. I don't know but that's what came to my mind.

"For all! Has my old friend arrived?"

"Our old friend is in Alice's three-footer seat! And he also brought his new comrade along." Answer sister Kana.

"So, are you Elvarette Shiro?"

"Eh... Aye." Yeah."

"Oh means I've properly picked up the ordered item at the store!"

"Take what sister" asked Kana.

"Because he's new here, so he needs a SIM card for his phone. Oh I forgot. My name is Alice Yuki, I'm a friend of the person sitting there. By the way, did you bring a star ball?"

"Star ball? Oh yeah, I brought him brother."

"Good, 'cause I need that to get you a SIM card."
