Re:START/If {Book 1.0}
Chapter 51: Quod (Part 04)
Coastal town, Mylta. When the morning sun has been radiated and the crowd began to fill every corner of the city street which is in the process of rapid progress, the rapid, Rein's statue with two of his personal Butlers and a female servant of the Porzan inn stood in front of the newly built Odo Luke's shop. It is located in the business district, right at the end of the market and not too glimpsed by buyers from inside or outside the city because the place is too in and far from the main road that is usually passed by many people.
Seeing with the flat eyes of the three-story building, Arca quickly understood that the building was really minimalist and had unusual architecture. On the front of the store that has just been built it does not have a striking appearance like a building built with a large capital. But when looking at the side and the glass on the second and third floors, it does have an unusual shape with stores that Arca often meet.
“Mr Arca, this store feels strange, yes. Though the size is small but ..”
“True Logi said, My lord. Although only seen from the outside like this, the building felt very complete. Chimney, air vents over windows and doors, glass preservation so that you can see the inside of the front clearly, the signboard and also .... The stairs next to the building are also very fitting.”
Hearing the opinions of Ligh and Logi, Arca felt in agreement with both of his personal Butlers. Indeed the building was neatly arranged, making the eldest son of the Rien family feel astonished because it should be in the city of Mylta there should be no great architect who can make such a unique design.
At a glance the brown-haired youth glanced towards Elulu who was also coming with them. Arca felt that the woman would also have an opinion. But seeing him speechless and only lowering his face, he understood that the woman wearing the inn maid uniform was still anxious about the previous problem.
Sighing and ignoring this, Arca faced forward and walked to the door to open it. But when holding the doorknob, the brown-haired young man realized that he had not got the key to the building.
“Ah, department .... I seem to have forgotten something important. The key is where, huh?”
Arca turned to her servants, the two men in black suits only realized this and were confused as to what to say to respond. Elulu also looked so, unable to answer and even lowered her head.
Amidst their confusion, a man walked up to them and said, “Oh! Are you the people of Mr Odo too?!” The dwarf old man looked dirty from the black dust and burning charcoal. Although midget, the old man already has a beard and thick beards like the Dwarf race in general.
The statue turned its head in wonder, then looked intently and asked, “Who are you? You ... Dwarf, ‘kan?”
“What do I look like, boy.” The dwarf put his hands to his waist and looked in wonder, looked up slightly to observe the face of Arca and in a high voice he asked, “Deed Mr Odo said nothing to you? He said today there will be employees who start working at this place and I have to hand over the key.”
“Eh?” Arca looked confused hearing that.
“You're the one Mr Odo ruled, ‘kan?” asked the Dwarf in a tone as if he did not know the young man he was talking to.
“Ya ..., more or less.”
“Then ...” The dwarf took out a string of keys and a small cloth bag from the tool belt on his waist, then thrust it out while saying, “This is the key! And here's our development service change!”
“Turns services?” Arca received the two items with a slightly puzzled expression.
“Ya!” The keriwil-haired dwarf pointed with a sangar face until the statue slightly stepped back in surprise. Lowering his hands, the old man turned his gaze towards the store and sniffed with an annoyed expression as he said, “You know, this building that built is us, we, The Red Dwarf Union— The reliable Dwarves who have built many buildings in this city along with its design. But! Mr. Odo instead gave his own design ...”
Staring and walking closer towards Arca, the Dwarf pointed and re-affirmed, “That change is for a thank you for giving us a unique new design, understand?!” Immediately turned around and set foot away from the place, the Dwarf waved his hand saying, “Talk it to Mr. Odo, if you want to build a unique building again he can order our services again! Tell me that Kov Osel and the Dwarves always welcome his work!”
The statue was at a glance confused by the arrival of the Dwarf which was like a storm. Recalling the name he said before leaving, Arca Rein muttered, “Kov Osel? The Red Dwarf Union? A—! Has Odo also set this up?” Arca immediately trembled and understood why Odo did not give funds first, some of the arrangement of plans that are still dubious starting little by little felt steady in the mind of Arca.
Sighing, the brown-haired youth turned towards the shop door and immediately opened it to check the contents of the building. Together with his personal Butler and Elulu Indul Kalama, Arca examined every corner of the building to ensure the neatness and arrangement of the existing space and check whether there are defects or not.
The store, which Odo built, has three floors and one basement, standing on a land area of only about 200 cubic meters. On the first floor has a room that is quite spacious which in the plan will be used as a store or a multi-purpose restaurant and at night can be converted into a bar. The spacious room is already available counter table that blends with the wall like a bar in general, then behind it there is a door that is directly connected to the kitchen at the back.
Although it has not been laid out and the furniture has not been purchased, the room looks neat and already has a magic reactor system and magic circuit has been installed neatly on the walls. The chandelier has been applied by fitting its location in the middle, the existing kitchen has also been installed stove with fire magic stone as its main fuel and has a unique magic structure. All of them were installed by the Dwarves, but the original structure made Odo and the craftsmen only follow the guidelines that have been given. In addition to the spacious room and kitchen, the first floor is also the only floor that has a bathroom because it is still the lack of a pipe use system that is still very elusive to the Dwarves.
The second floor will be used as an office. The room was entirely made up of a single, spacious room divided into several wooden bulkheads that would be laid work tables. On this floor, activities such as bookkeeping, accounting recording activities, administrative affairs and office related matters will be carried out. This room is a little unique because the two entrances can not be accessed from the first floor, but can only be accessed with stairs on both sides of the building and feel outside. It aims not to interfere with each other with the activities on the first floor and the second floor, for that floor is made tightly and made soundproof magic structures on thick wood used for the floor.
On the third floor can be said to be a place of residence for permanent workers, access can be done through the stairs of the second floor. The third floor consists of five neatly arranged rooms separated by a hallway. For a while the place was planned to be inhabited by the Tenebris family who in the future will change into a family of Mitus as time goes on. This third floor also had an attic, serving to store some magic tools and other equipment besides the basement.
Finished inspecting the building, Arca came out and locked it back in. In front of the building he fell silent confused with his two followers, until they came to the attention of the passers-by in the business district even though not too many people passed by at the end of the district. Looking lightly at Logi, Arca asked, “Did you see that, Logi? Inside there ...”
“Yes, this store is like an altar itself. The energy circulation is so smooth that it scares me. Tuankum actually what the hell is this building,” Logi replied as he turned around and saw the three-story store.
“Mr Arca, I've heard about development techniques like this. It is possible that Mr. Odo .. used the Feng Shui method to regulate the circulation of energy in this building,” said Ligh while looking at the store.
“Feng Shui?” said Arca as she turned around and looked at the wonder of the store building that somehow began to look magnificent.
“Ya ..” Ligh pointed her index finger forward, then with a slightly pale face she explained, “That's an ancient topological science of the empire. I myself do not understand the concept of development, but it says it can regulate the flow of energy and make a place the center of the gathering of energy or break up an energy so as not to be centered in one place.” Lowering his index finger and sighing, Butler was a little reluctant to admit, “Well, it's true Logi said that this place is like an altar, because the altar itself requires proper topology.”
Putting his right hand to his chin and thinking a little, the eldest son of the Rein family asked, “Why can Odo know such a thing?”
“Eng, I don't know, My Lord.”
“I also don't know ...”
Sighing together, the three men felt a little anxious because of some things related to Odo Luke. Elulu who stood behind them also felt worried about the young man who promised the safety of the family. In their minds each grew a sense of awe as well as fear for the young black hair from the Luke family.
“Hah ...” Arca sighed, then shook her head and said, “I'll ask her. Now that we go to port, the Secretary should be at that place.”
“Pronounced secretary Mr. Odo ..., yes?” Logi slightly smiled widely, his nose was flat and he smiled widely while saying, “About who is he? Is she the kind of girl Miss Lisiathus? Or like Miss Imania ..?”
“You like that, huh?” ligh asked with a reluctant expression at the nature of her twin sister.
Little glance towards Logi, Arca reprimands, “You better never dare to touch or tease the Secretary later.”
“Hmm, why is it, My Lord?” ask Logi wonder.
“Kata Odo .... If anyone touches him or causes trouble to the secretary, he will definitely not die properly.”
““Eh?””
The faces of the two Butlers immediately paled, they both looked at each other and re-thought of their behavior later in front of the secretary. They understand that Odo Luke must not joke about such a thing, the real proof of that is the defeat of their Master and the conditions that exist now.
“Yes-Well, maybe Odo wants to make her a mistress or something,” said Arca in a slightly hesitant tone. Not much different from his personal two Butlers, the ban also applied harshly to the young man. Turning around and patting the two men on the shoulders, Arca Rein said, “He's a future king .... Unlike King Gaiel who had loved the late Queen Dahlia since young, Odo had nothing like that to Princess Arteria. I don't think it's weird that he's playing girls or something.... According to the news, Mr. Dart used to be a young man also famous among women ...”
“Ka-If my Master says like that, better I don't bother him.”
“Hmm, we'd better not cause any problems with this secretary. Waitie? Is her secretary really female?”
“If the secretary is identical to the female!”
“What is it?”
“Iya!”
During a small chat, the four men began to walk towards the port area to meet the person who had been appointed by Odo to be the secretary in the plan. The two men were guessing who exactly the woman appointed by Odo, joking and discussing something that men often talk about women. Elulu, who was just silently staring at them flatly, felt that the men were talking about something very unimportant.
