The sun was already overhead, but Aisley who usually woke up that morning just woke up. With her clothes and hair in disarray, Aisley looked throughout the room. A strange room in his eyes, with foreign furniture.
The sound of knocking on the door rang out from outside with the voice of a man calling his name. Aisley was silent for a while before she realized that she had now moved to another world, a world very different from the one in which she had grown up.
"Aisley? Aisley's? Are you awake?" Niko asked with a knock.
"Yes, I'm awake..." Answer Aisley.
"Well, take a shower and let's eat breakfast..." Answer Niko.
Aisley tidied her hair and clothes first, she went out and took a bath. After he finished he headed to the dining room for breakfast then together. Aisley was sitting at the dining table, looking at it outside the window that seemed to be already hot.
"Eh? Why is the sun so overhead this morning?" Ask Aisley.
"Oh? Hmm since it's not morning anymore, it's noon now..." Answer Niko lightly.
"Eh what? It's noon?!" Aisley asked in surprise.
"It's noon and it's lunch time.." Niko smiled, she picked up some side dishes and put them on Aisley's table.
"Wait a minute, you're kidding me, right?!" Aisley couldn't believe it.
"Of course not~"
"Hmm how is it possible, I'm used to getting up early even when I'm just asleep in the middle of the night..." His gum.
"It's possible that you're too exhausted by the fertival lantern, so eat your food..." Niko started eating the food that was on the table.
Although a little hesitant, but Aisley accepts it anyway could be because he is exhausted right? Aisley began to eat the available food on her plate. They ate quietly, none of them talking.
*****
Niko and Aisley walked together, they walked towards the royal palace of Argenius. While passing through the guard Niko gave a license plate. The guard allowed Niko and Aisley into the palace.
Aisley was truly amazed again by this world, and the beautiful city of this royal palace was also very beautiful and magnificent. According to Aisley the palace is almost half the size of the capital. With a feeling of admiration Aisley followed Niko who kept going.
Stopping at a door, Niko knocked on it three times. Then the door opened, behind which was a beautiful girl with pink and blue eyes. She allows Niko and Aisley to enter first, but Niko refuses on the grounds that she still has many tasks.
"Did you bring it?" Ask the girl.
Niko nodded then she picked up a blue liquid that was in the glass. The woman in front of Niko was immediately enthusiastic with the object in Niko's hands. Given a bag to Niko and Niko gave the thing in the glass to the girl in front of him.
Actually Aisley hesitantly asked Niko because of the flat expression of Niko, and again Niko who did not speak at all
"Sister, what did you give the girl?" Aisley asked doubtfully.
Niko looks at Aisley who is down, with Aisley who is like that and hesitant voice to ask earlier makes Niko think that Aisley is not used to Niko's attitude.
"Oh yeah, I gave her the perfume she ordered." Niko answered in a voice as usual.
Aisley looked at Niko who was smiling towards her, Aisley also smiled looking at that. She was no longer tense with Niko's flat face.
"Ah so is sister like a salesman?" Ask Aisley.
"Exactly, but I only sell to people who are special or who I want..."
Niko and Aisley walked back together, they passed through the halls of the palace. Niko also gives some items like the one Niko gave to the girl before. Niko also gave things like seeds or seeds of plants and some plants that Aisley did not recognize.
"This is the last..." Niko.
"What a great library..." The Aisley Germ that Niko was able to hear.
"Of course, this is the royal library.. " Tap Niko.
Niko invites Aisley to walk to the library responis, Niko shows a name plate that is the same as when Niko was in front of earlier. After getting permission from the responist, Niko and Aisley walked deeper and deeper into the library. Niko and Aisley arrived at the table like a responis table in front, but there was absolutely no one there.
"Excuse me..." Niko.
"Ah yes!" Someone's mouth.
Aisley turned to the source of the voice, apparently a woman who looked cute to Aisley who replied. The woman slightly ran over to Niko and Aisley.
"Uwahh turned out to be Miko's sister, it's been a long time since you've been here..." Said the girl, herself sitting on the responis seat.
"Yes.." Answer Niko briefly.
Aisley was actually confused as to why the girl called Niko Miko. Did his mouth sprain so he spoke wrong? Or indeed Niko's real name is Miko?, Aih it's confusing to think about. Finally Aisley could only be quiet, maybe he would ask Niko when they were alone.
"Will brother Miko deliver the goods to brother?" The girl asked Niko.
"Oh well, umm next to that brother who? Is sister's lover?" He asked while looking at Aisley.
Aisley who was confused could only smile awkwardly. While Niko followed the girl's eyes in front of her, she looked at the confused Aisley while smiling awkwardly. Niko smiled faintly and answered the question of the girl in front of her.
"Ah she is, of course not ahahaha we are just acquaintances and then become a sister and foster brother..." Niko answered with a faint smile.
"Ah really, wait but big brother smiled!"
Niko only chuckles at what the girl said, without answering Niko's permission to go inside. A secret room, the girl also did not stop Niko because it was her goal there. But the girl is still strong enough to accept Niko's answer about Aisley, maybe she does not believe that Aisley is Niko's adoptive sister.
They walked in a hallway with a wall full of books, the light in the hallway was only dim. Because the light was only created because of some candles that were there.
"Sister..." Aisley's chirps broke the silence.
"Roof" answered Niko.
"Umm why did the girl call sister Miko instead of Niko?" Ask Aisley.
Niko chuckled softly at Aisley's question, actually thinking that Aisley would ask that.
"Hmm keep this a secret..." He said mysterious. Aisley nodded as her confirmation.
"Actually Niko is my real name and Miko is my pseudonym, so only a few people know if my name is Niko..."
"Eh? Ta's..But we haven't known for a long time why did you let me call you by your real name?" Ask Aisley.
"Eh heum's.... Surely because when you first realized you had called my name first hahaha~" Niko again chuckled.
Aisley also chuckled softly, recalling where she first called Niko's real name. Actually she does not know who the person who helped her is, but give a face that looks like her brother made her call Niko just like Aisley called her brother.
