The Scards: Start!
Chapter 37: Kirania and Ellios

Ellios and Kirania walked through the shopping center while carrying some paper bags, ignoring the gazes and whispers of visitors who swarmed around like ants covered in sugar. After being satisfied shopping, they immediately look for a food store considering their stomachs began to rumble to be filled.

"It turns out we spent longer than expected. You want to eat?" Ellios felt guilty.

"Hn. You know any shops around here?"

"Of course."

They immediately headed for the escalator that led downstairs. Ellios looked around looking crowded. He saw a girl holding a friendly old man, maybe it was his grandfather or his father.

Waitaminute! Looks like the girl is familiar. He watched the girl and the girl looked at him.

Ellios immediately lowered her head, pretending to pick up the phone and picked it up and chuckled as if looking for someone. The girl stared at Ellios intensely making the old man next to her pat the girl on the shoulder to make her flinch. The girl gave a sweet smile to the old man and conversed affectionately.

'Ellios? No way! Probably wrong look.' Inner the girl.

A grin rose on the face of the red-blossomed young man. His revenge was immediately started when he saw the satisfactory results of his shots.

"What's the matter, brother? Your smile looks terrible."

"It's okay." Reply to Ellios while putting her phone in her pants pocket.

"So that woman made you burn your beloved bedsheets and destroy my photo?" Kirania asked in a murderous tone after hearing Ellios' story. They are currently in a Korean cafe located not far from Albert's house in district F and they are sitting in a corner by the window, makes it easy to see the view of the highway that looks crowded.

"Not only that. He always sticks to me like glue and meddles with all my business. I'm so uncomfortable with him." Ellios said in frustration.

"I know what you're gonna do." Kirania's ignorant speech made Ellios feel a bad feeling.

"If you want him to stay away from you, you must obey my words." Said Kirania and then sipped the juice.

"alright. So what am I supposed to do?"

Kirania leaning her body made Ellios curious and leaned in. The girl whispered something making Ellios' forehead frown and straighten her body. The handsome young man in red seemed to think for a moment then nodded.

Kirania straightened her body then looked around. The father's shop was not crowded with visitors and accidentally his eyes saw a girl embracing a friendly old man across the cafe.

"Gtsi..." Kirania held back a laugh at the sight making Ellios look at the sister with her eyebrows raised.

"What's wrong? You laughing at something?" Ask Ellios curiously.

Kirania just pointed her index finger at the glass window of the cafe in response to make the young man distract her.

The young man took his phone and took some pictures and placed it on the table. Ellios then looked at Kirania seriously.

"Kiran, as a brother I beg you not to humble yourself for the sake of fame. You're not flawed, you're beautiful and healthy. You can use your energy and your brain to figure out how to make money, not in an instant way like selling your body. Don't you ruin your life for a moment's pleasure that ends with a lifetime of regret." Pinta Ellios is sad. In this lawless X city, free relations were common. Even incestuous relationships are common in lawless cities. Ellios is worried that Kirania is entangled with promiscuity considering that many female friends of her age become comfort women and even sugar baby for the sake of their prestige.

Kirania understood that Ellios was very worried about her. Her past is so bad that she doesn't trust anyone, except Ellios, Albert and Joshua. It was only at them that he dared to express himself according to his mood.

"Sister don't worry. If I need money, I can get it easily. Bet with uncle Joshua or be papa's assistant for example. If I can break into people's company finances or sell organs." His plain-looking speech caused Ellios to pinch Kirania's head until the girl complained of pain.

"What the fuck are you talking about?" Omel Ellios was upset that was only responded to by Kirania's sinless smile.

"Don't pin it on me, brother." Said Kirania with a glare like a kitten asking at the pickle making Ellios anxious.

"Aduh~ Why are you so cute, anyway?" With the spirit of Ellios pulling the cheek of Kirania makes the girl resigned with the naughty hands of the brother.

"Stop brother, sick~" Rengek Kirania. A tear in the girl's eye made Ellios let go of her pinch.

"I know you're very worried and care about me. Thank you for advising me, brother." Kirania said sincerely.

"Can you join?" The sound of a familiar heavy voice made them turn their head and nod compactly.

When he was about to take it, an old man first stroked him to make Albert upset. Instantly his taste on the hair pin disappeared.

"Young man, you'd better give up. Pinch this for my girlfriend, you won't be able to afford it." Said the expensively dressed old man arrogantly.

Albert looked at the old man who handed his wanted hairpin to a young girl who received it affectionately, perhaps the girl was the same age as Kirania or Ellios.

The girl glanced at Albert without a blink, fixated on his good looks. But when he saw Albert's clothes, a moment of ridiculing expression flashed across his face. The man was wearing only black cargo pants and a navy t-shirt, combined with simple-looking black sneakers.

Albert ignored them and decided to look at the other accessories. When he saw a necklace and was about to touch it, there was a woman's voice that irritated him.

"Daddy, I want that necklace. It must be a perfect fit for me." Whine at the old man next to her.

"Alright, Babby. Anything for you." The old man replied spoiled which immediately made Albert want to vomit.

"It looks like my boyfriend wants the necklace. Just give up, young man. You poor and dirty like this can't afford it."

"Take it." After saying so Albert immediately walked out of the store in a dowry. Lost was already his intention to buy his beloved daughter a gift. Rather than fighting over counterfeit and perishable items, he better look for genuine quality materials.

"Hey, young man! Keep your manners!" The old man was upset with Albert for being ignored. The man paused for a moment in front of the shop door and turned his head towards the old man in annoyance.

"You should take care of your attitude, Old Man. You who stink of dirt should be self-conscious before death picks you up." Albert's scathing reply with a murderous tone infuriated the old man. The handsome man immediately opened the door and left the shop.

Albert circulated his gaze and accidentally saw a pair of teenagers chatting casually in a cafe located across the street. Instantly the radar about the whereabouts of Kirania was active on his head. He was standing on the sidewalk under the traffic lights waiting for the red traffic lights. After waiting for some handsome men to cross the street and step their feet towards the cafe. He entered the cafe and approached those who were having a serious conversation. Looks like Albert missed something.

"Can you join?" Albert asked, who made the pair of teenagers turn their heads and nodded compactly.

"Have you ordered food?" Ask Albert again.

"Yet, Pa/Yeah." Answer them simultaneously.

Albert called the waiter and ordered food for himself and the 2 teenagers. The waiter immediately recorded their order and passed from there.

"Daddy, I want to sit here." The sound of a spoiled voice that successfully made 2 different-aged men goosebumps and distract him.Inadvertently they saw a girl with an old man sitting not far from them. Albert's mood deteriorated.

'Shit! Why are they here, anyway?' Both of them were arrogant to feel disturbed by the gaze of someone who felt terrible.

Kirania was astonished when she saw the expression of her brother and father who looked like they wanted to burn something. He immediately circulated his gaze and saw an old man with a girl staring at them intensely. More precisely the hungry gaze of the girl towards her father and brother and the dislike gaze when the girl's gaze was pointed towards her.

Before long the waiter came to take their order and started eating. The cuisine at the cafe was really pampering the tongue.

Ganymede's voice suddenly echoed in his head making Kirania's head buzz.

"It looks like the girl is up to something. Be careful with him."

"of course. We'll work it out until he's self-conscious. Look at the disgusting gazes directed at my father and brother. I'd love to pry her eyes out." Said Kirania as she swallowed her food.

"Oho! Even his taste is very pa~yah. Look at the man who stinks of the land. He's also staring at you with eyes that almost jumped." Ganymede's chirping made Kirania stare at them at a glance and then refocus on her food.

"I hope that his eyes will fall off and become a decoration of my food." Kirania's successful reply left Ganymede chuckling.

Kirania calls a waitress and orders her food back in jumbo portions, which makes her father and brother look at the girl with horror.

"You always eat a lot but only your chest grows rapidly, while your body is very short. I wonder where the rest of your food stew is." Sindir Ellios upset Kirania.

"I'm growing up, brother. Growth time!" Kirania was angry.

"That growth is only part of your chest. While your body isn't growing, huh." Reply Ellios relaxed while bribing her food.

"That's it, you two." Lerai Albert breathed in tiredness. Come on she wants to eat quietly considering her mood is deteriorating today.

Kirania puffed her cheeks in annoyance. Before long his order came and sadistically the girl vented her pity on her food.
