Moonlight After Sunset's
Friends of the Road pt 4

"The most valuable information is when you don't know it."

******************#####****************

After his departure from the cafe, Dusk decided to take a leisurely walk with Kaira around the capital city of El-Aufi. Initially they only went to public places, until at last Dusk decided to stop at a giant stone monument located on the outskirts of the city.

"What place is this, Miss?"

"Young Master doesn't know? This is a monument commemorating the first King's success in building this kingdom,"

"really? It is great that he can make this kingdom continue to live in prosperity."

"Of course, it was because he had discovered which stone was underground in this kingdom."

"Which rock, where is this land?"

"True young master, which stone is under our feet now," said Kaira while looking at the sand she was peeping on.

"This man is so innocent, it's appropriate that the knight takes great care of him," Kaira's inner self as she recalled Eza's blackened face in annoyance.

"Miss, you seem to know a lot about this city. I want to get to know you now,"

"A, hahaha. I don't know this city very well because I'm not a permanent resident. I am just a traveler who often travels to this city to enjoy the food and beauty." exclaimed Kaira while looking around the monument area.

"But young master take it easy, I will still tell you everything I know about this city" continued Kaira gracefully while showing her gentle smile.

"I don't want a man like you to get hurt from getting lost in this town" Kaira whispered before taking Dusk to one of the cafes surrounding them.

Arriving at the cafe, Kaira immediately brought Dusk to a private room.

"An adventurer? Hahaha no wonder you're so familiar with this place, "the inner twilight is sarcastic with the weakest corners of the lips.

"Miss Kaira, where are we going?" ask Dusk when they are on the third floor of the cafe.

"Young master will know if he sees it later,"

"Is that so? I hope the place is beautiful,"

"Of course,"

"Miss, we are currently heading to the outer area of the building," Ristia exclaimed as they were already on the fifth floor of the cafe.

"Damn, instead of this cafe there are only two floors," said Dusk panicked but still showed his calm face.

"What exactly does Kaira want to do."

Senja continues to be agitated by his current condition.

"Miss, this place is a secret route. This route will only appear if we find the door. So it is only natural that we can only see this cafe with two floors while the rest of the floor is included in the secret route that can only be accessed through the door" clearly Ristia was interrupted - between the anxiety of Dusk.

"Whatever it is, the actions of Kaira who brought me here are very suspicious," exclaimed Dusk before they reached the cafe's last floor.

Kaira does not know if Dusk is introgating this place, it is too late in his mind if Zain whose incident is Dusk will be happy with what will be seen.

"Let's go in" exclaimed Kaira still gently grasping the hand of Dusk.

"Good,"

Upon entering the room, Dusk was a little shocked. He could see the whole city clearly from the place.

"This is different from my hotel room" murmured Dusk amazed at what he had just seen.

"This place is amazing" said Dusk while holding the glass wall of the room.

"The room was designed by Raja Ali. He was a former king before. King Ali deliberately created this place so that his family can enjoy the beauty of the capital city of El-Aufi well," exclaimed Kaira with a faint look towards the royal palace of El-Aufi.

"I'm not sure of King Ali's ultimate goal in building this place. But clearly I can easily monitor every movement of the townspeople through this place."

"This place is so beautiful,"

"Young master is right, this place is indeed very beautiful. I myself really like this place because of its beauty," said Kaira as she walked closer to the window of the room.

"No one can see us here, even though we can see them clearly from here." continued Kaira when he noticed thousands of residents passing by below him.

"This place looks more like a watchtower than a lounge."

"Miss Kaira, what if we sit down and enjoy this beauty quietly," exclaimed Dusk to a sweet smile from Kaira.

"Hahaha, this is weird. I know she's innocent but her silence at the moment looks very strange," Kaira's inner self before following Dusk sat on one of the sofas in the room.

"Miss Kaira."

Dusk called out softly to Kaira, as if there was something she was hiding.

"Yes Young Master Zain. Is there anything you want to say,"

"Look Miss, I know this place is very special but why did you bring me here?"

"Didn't you tell me to show you the entire capital of this kingdom?"

"Yes that's right, but I didn't know you were going to bring me here. I thought you'd just take me around."

"Ah, so it seems. I'm doing this to make it easier for you to see the whole city without wasting time and of course without the slightest fatigue."

"Don't I already say that this guy is so innocent. You shouldn't have anything to do with her" exclaimed Opi annoyed as Kaira began to play Dusk.

"I just want to see if he's a fraud or not. I know a lot of guys like me but his attitude is very strange. Other than that I didn't know his strength, I also didn't know who he really was," Kaira explained starting to investigate who Dusk really was.

"Miss Kaira, you seem to know the royal family very well. They let you into this place easily."

Dusk begins to lure Kaira to tell her about herself.

"I'm friends with one of these royal princesses. He kindly allowed me who was an adventurer to visit this place whenever I came to the kingdom of El-Aufi."

"really?"

"of course. I'm a traveler and he's definitely interested in my experience traveling all over the continent."

"Well, you're great,"

"Of course."

"Then how many kingdoms have you visited besides this kingdom?"

"Not much, I've only been traveling since I graduated from academia."

"That's because I love nature so much and I want to continue living around them."

"really? You're so great. I wish I had the courage like you."

"Hahahaha, although not easy but being adventurous is exciting."

Dusk and Kaira continued to talk about Kaira's experience in exploring several kingdoms in the western continent.

"I am very impressed with the kingdom of Guira but I am saddened to find out that one of its cities was destroyed by *****," exclaimed Kaira as the conversation went further.

"What Kaira means is the Czech city,"

"The city is very beautiful and crowded but the case that happened this time is very sad." continued Kaira while remembering the news he read from the newspaper.

"What is going on in the city, Miss?" tanya Dusk as if he was curious about the city.

"The city was destroyed due to the attack****** which caused the death to spread throughout the city's forests."

"Gosh, that's so bad."

"You're right Young master, that's very bad. In addition, the citizens who were there also had to evacuate because the dead mana could have spread through the air and killed them in the end."

"It's bad that people have done that to the city" exclaimed Dusk as he wore an angry expression that looked funny to Kaira.

"What a sweet guy,"

"I hope the culprit gets caught."

"I hope so, too,"

"I was very upset because they destroyed the cave, but who would have thought if mana died would spread there," Inner Dusk again upset because the plan had to disappear because the cave was destroyed.

Kaira continues to tell about her experiences in the kingdom of Guira but one thing that makes Dusk feel strange is that of the whole story of Kaira, the, he could describe that the people of Guira's kingdom were not acting like normal people at all. They tend to be very obedient as if they are being controlled.

"I've been suspicious about this but the more I hear the story, the more convinced I am that the kingdom of Guira is preparing a great thing,"

"In addition, I also visited the kingdom of Aruna. The kingdom is very beautiful and interesting," exclaimed Kaira excitedly.

"Yayaya, I also know about it," muttered Dusk tired of what Kaira had told him, but he kept hearing it carefully as if interested in the details.

"I thought Kaira would tell me about the strange experiences she found in each of those kingdoms."

"Although, I can still get more information about some cities that were previously unknown to Dian or Dennis," muttered Dusk who was always faithful in listening to Kaira's chatter.

Long Dusk heard Kaira's story until finally the sun began to set from the world's horizon.

"Beautiful," murmured Dusk as he turned his gaze towards the sunset behind the glass window.

"The color is very beautiful," exclaimed Dusk involuntarily standing up from his seat.

"That is Dusk" whispered Kaira who made the heart of Dusk beat fast.

"God. Did I get caught,"

"The light that is reddish orange is called Dusk." continued Kaira softly who is still looking towards the origin of the light.

"Nearly," the inner twilight calmed down after knowing the meaning of Kaira's previous words.

"Miss is right, the light is so beautiful,"

"Can I come back to this place?"

"Of course I can. Young master just say my name then they'll allow it."

"Thank you Miss Kaira,"

"Oh yes Miss, can I also exchange letters with you?"

"Exchange letters?"

"Yes Miss, I don't know where else I can meet an adventurer like you."

"Hahaha, you're overreacting."

"Is there something wrong with that?"

"Of course not" Kaira replied as she took out a black paper parchment from her pocket.

"Make this, you can send a letter in the direction that this parchment always indicates."

"All right, thank you,"

After enjoying the beauty of Dusk, they both decided to go to the theater building after finishing eating dinner at the cafe.

The movie they want to watch this time is just a regular movie with the same genre as before.

"Sir, this movie is so much fun,"

"I think Miss is right. I love movies like this,"

After the film ended, Dusk and Kaira decided to split up there. The two of them separated after Eza came to Dusk with a murderous gaze.

"Hahaha, this poor knight is still the same,"

"Mr Zain, it looks like we're going to have to split up here,"

"It's a pity that I want to stay with you" replied Dusk with a sad look on his face.

"Hahaha.it doesn't matter. There is still tomorrow for us to meet again" whispered Kaira softly in the ear of Dusk which made Eza look more provoked again.

"Well, I'll see you tomorrow, then,"

"A funny guy,"

Eza who witnessed this looks increasingly violent. He then looked at Dusk with a cold look.

"This child needs to be brought back," the inner twilight as it felt the cold temperature on its back.

"Will Miss see him again?"

"I don't know,"

"It looks like I should indeed rest Eza this time,"
