“Are you not angry, Brother Adam?”
On the way home, Bella glanced at Adam. Seeing the gentle breeze pounding on the young man's hair, plus his cold and indifferent expression, the girl instantly felt her cheeks hot.
“Why should I be angry? On your way forward, there will definitely be people who reject your idea and try to bring you down. If an insult like that makes me angry, maybe I can't keep going and climbing up to this place.
If you listen to what people are saying, there will be no end to following them. Just ignore them, focus on your goal .. keep stepping towards the finish line you are heading to.”
“...”
To Bella who is always depressed by circumstances, not believing in herself, Adam's speech is like a small lantern that brings light to her dark life. Down, the girl smiled gently. He was so grateful that he didn't know how to express it.
Summarizing all the feelings in her heart, Bella looked at Adam with a gentle smile.
"Thank you."
...***...
That night, in Adam's apartment.
“I didn't expect, you're really good at cooking, Bella.”
Eating some of the dishes made by Bella, Adam felt very satisfied. She likes ‘layam lemon’ sauce and ‘kailan’ made by the girl. Besides because of its fitting taste, she felt the warmth of ‘rumah’ from the food.
“S-Happy if you like it, Brother Adam.”
Seeing how Bella no longer spoke too formally, Adam felt relieved. When he heard the girl speak in a formal tone and look nervous, he felt somewhat guilty. Feeling that she has made the girl uncomfortable.
“You also eat. Why are you just waiting for me?”
“It ..”
“Should I help you take it?”
“T-No! I-I can take it myself.”
Seeing how Bella started to take the rice and side dishes and went along to eat, Adam smiled gently. The two ate together in harmony.
After eating, Bella washes the dishes while Adam sits waiting for her while searching for information about the apparitions of evil spirits or other strange creatures. Actually she wanted to help, but the girl insisted on doing it herself. So, in the end the young man gave up and just waited.
Wait.. I seem to have forgotten something.
After giving it some thought, Adam did not remember what it was. Shaking his head, the young man finally decided to ignore him.
After that, the two of them spent time together in the living room. Not much to say, just watching tv while sitting together.
“K-Sister Adam ..”
“Ya?” Adam looked towards Bella who called out to him.
“A-I've decided. I .. I want to continue my studies. Is it okay?”
“Of course it's okay.” Adam smiled gently. “I'll take you to take care of everything tomorrow.”
“Thank you, Brother Adam.”
As if remembering something, Adam finally whispered.
“I don't want to buy another bed. You don't mind, do you?”
Adam's apartment is actually quite spacious and still has two empty rooms in addition to the master bedroom. Only, he did not fill it with furniture because he initially felt it was unnecessary.
Hearing Adam's words, Bella's face was instantly red. The girl looked down in embarrassment before nodding lightly.
“En.”
At 02:00 AM.
Opening his eyes, Adam went to the bathroom. When he finished washing his face, the young man looked down. At that moment, he saw a small black sphere bouncing on his feet.
Seeing Kyoko, Adam finally realized something. He immediately muttered softly, “Nix!”
A black chicken figure with a red face appeared. Looking at the dark room where the day had changed just like that, he was stunned.
Despite not needing food when in the sea of souls, Nix still longed for the sweet corn flavor. He is also a living creature and needs food. The chicken looked towards the room where there was a beautiful girl figure on the bed covered in blankets, then looked towards her master with a blank expression.
‘Bos cruel ... I can't believe this! After getting the females to warm the nest, you even forget the comrades in arms! You ... really disappointed!’
Unable to hold back, Nix started crowing while pointing at Adam with his right wing. He seemed angry in a human way. Meanwhile, Kyoko changes her form to Pomsky and runs around Adam. Not knowing what his master and senior were debating, he just wanted to join in on the fun.
Nix's loud voice makes Bella wake up. The girl got up while covering her body with a thick blanket.
“Sister Adam?”
Bella said in a soft voice, seemingly still very tired from having just rested for less than three hours. The girl rubbed her eyes as she looked towards the bathroom. Looking at the figure of a black chicken and a pomsky, Bella tilted her head in confusion,
Blinking her eyes, Bella only saw Adam. Two other creatures disappeared. The girl was convinced that she was hallucinating because she was too exhausted.
“What's up, Bella? Can I get you a glass of water?” ask Adam gently.
“No, Brother Adam.”
“You look very exhausted. You go back to sleep. No need to worry about bad luck. I'll wake you later.”
“En.”
Bella lay down and closed her eyes. Seeing the girl go back to sleep, Adam heaved a sigh of relief.
Going to the kitchen, Adam immediately took a bowl and poured enough corn there. After which, he again took Nix out of the sea of souls. Before the chicken could react, the young man immediately glared at her.
“Sttt ... It's already night. Don't be noisy, Nix.”
Looking towards his master, Nix felt dissatisfied. The chicken complained in his heart. He was almost strangled by strange hair. After which, he was also barely cut by his own master's sword. After the fight ended, the chicken was put into a sea of souls. Eventually, he was forgotten and told to hold back his hunger one day and one night.
Although dissatisfied, Nix the chicken could only eat the corn in the bowl in silence. He knew that if he rebutted and tried to resist, his master would torture him cruelly. The chicken can only curse in the heart.
‘Wait for Mr. Nix this can be as strong as an ancestor. This master will definitely make you beg for help while kneeling on the floor!’
Imagining himself flying with his body covered in flames while watching his master kneel on the floor, the chicken pecked at the corn in the mangosteen with a satisfied face.
At 07:00 AM.
Adam and Bella sat down to eat their breakfast. As for Nix, the young man had given him breakfast when Bella took a bath. As they were about to eat, the bell rang.
“Still too early. Is that a package?” murmured Adam.
The shopkeeper previously said that if you use the delivery service, goods can only come the next day. Which means, today. However, usually the package will be deposited on the 1st floor, letting the residents pick it up themselves.
“Let me open the door, Brother Adam.”
Bella said softly. Getting up from his chair, he immediately headed for the front door and opened it. But when the door opened, the girl was stunned. That was because ..there was a woman wearing a police uniform standing in front of the door.
The cops? Is ... has Brother Adam tampered with the bathroom and the hallway lights of the dormitory been found out?
Meanwhile, the woman in the police uniform was also shocked. He glanced at the apartment number, but realized that he was not in the wrong place. Looking at the beautiful girl who looked polite and gentle, she felt confused.
This girl ... Who???
