Unstoppable Antihero
Chapter 6: The Gemini

Atlas and the others walked out of the Zelos Cage Arena after Irene's shadow announced that the fight was over. Those who had stopped practicing and stayed at the edge of the arena, now returned to training like before. Although some of them still talk about the Atlas fight against Kaysen.

This time Antha brought Atlas with Kaysen and Irene's shadow into a spacious room. Inside here is a long table with chairs lined up on each side. Shortly thereafter, several women came carrying trays, putting together quite a lot of food at the table.

“Because of your arrival a little surprising,” said Antha, “we did not have time to give a proper banquet.”

“Ha?” Atlas tilts his head. “Did any important people come to visit? Doesn't that mean I can't be here?”

“Haah ..” Antha exhaled a long breath, turning her eyes to Atlas. “You Star Children have a strange mindset. Your existence is very important for the Air Kingdom, so we will try to make you feel comfortable.”

Atlas scratched his head, saying, “I think you guys are overdoing it.” He was silent for a moment. “Again, I haven't done anything that I deserve.”

“Already!” Antha dragged Atlas sitting on one of the chairs. “Sit, quiet, eat! I have a need for a moment.”

“He he hey!” Although Atlas refused, the voice of the stomach could not lie.

“Already,” said Kaysen, sitting in a chair next to Atlas, “enjoy it.”

“I leave him to you, Kaysen.” Waving her hands, Antha walked out of the room.

Before Kaysen started taking food, Irene's shadow suddenly said, “I leave her to you, Kaysen.”

Kaysen glanced at Irene's shadow for a moment. “Send it to me!”

Irene's shadow slowly undid the purple mask she was wearing. Just at that moment, the shadow turned into smoke, then disappeared.

“Do not look at it!” Kaysen picked up the plate, started putting the food he thought was delicious into it. “Fast eat while you can still do it.”

In the end, Atlas could do nothing but follow Kaysen's advice. The young man picked up a plate and ate the food that caught his attention. However, one thing Atlas definitely felt was that the food in this world was much more spiced compared to his world back then.

Atlas and Kaysen ate until they were completely satisfied. During the meal, none of them said anything.

“Ah .. I'm full,” said Kaysen while keeping the plate away from him, then leaning on the chair. “The food is very good.”

“I'm also full,” says Atlas, following Kaysen keep the plate away.

“You've decided where to go after this, Atlas?” Kaysen immediately turned his gaze toward Atlas. His eyes are back in the light.

Of course Atlas immediately turned his gaze in the other direction, unwilling to see the expectant-looking Kaysen. The young man then exhaled a long breath, replying, “I know nothing about this Air Kingdom. If I can, I want someone to guide me about where I should go.”

“Send it to me!”

“I forgot, I mean besides fighting maniacs like you.”

“That's pretty rough if I have to say.”

“Indeed I'm not being polite.”

“Child Stars is really cool!” Instead of feeling offended, Kaysen instead looks amazed by the attitude of Atlas.

Not answering for some time, suddenly Atlas remembered something, “Omong-by the way, where did Irene go?”

Hearing the question made Kaysen suddenly change. He took a deep breath, then stared blankly ahead. “I don't know either. Maybe he's doing his job as a Star Child?”

“Ha? Duties as a Star Child?” Atlas was a little surprised to hear this. “Shouldn't we be able to do what we want?”

“You mean, she might make Irene submit?”

“Entahlah. I don't know for sure either. However, it is quite crowded and became a conversation among some Nomos.”

Atlas was silent, closing his eyes while thinking about the information he had just obtained. It was possible, but as a Star Child, Irene should have used a much stronger Erebus than the Fanes used by others.

“I find it hard to imagine that,” Atlas said as he opened his eyes.

“Actually me too. However, seeing Miss Irene's actions being quite elusive, I became a little considerate of the possibility.”

Before their conversation continued, Antha suddenly entered the room. “Sounds you guys are done.” The short-haired woman stood next to Atlas. “I told the king about your appearance. As long as you don't get an answer, you can wait here.”

“Sorry,” said Atlas, standing up to shift his chair back, “I have things to do.”

“Haah ..” Antha let out a long breath. “I already know what your thoughts are of Star Children. So, I also said that you will leave from Erato Satir soon. Whatever you guys want to go next, I have no responsibility.”

“You really are a very considerate Zelos!” sahut Kaysen, stand up.

Antha turned her back to Kaysen. “In exchange, you will be in charge of Atlas.”

“That's a dirty trick!”

“No one forbids me to do it!”

“Already,” cut Atlas, “you won't be able to win against a woman, Kaysen.”

“You very well turned out.” Antha deliberately brought her face closer to Atlas, then touched the young man's lips using her index finger. “Are you very good at treating women?”

“Unfortunately I don't like aggressive women.” Atlas immediately took a step back. “Sorry ...”

“It was very unfortunate.” Looked a little disappointed Antha.

Without much further ado, Atlas walked towards the exit followed by Kaysen. The young man waved his right hand, saying, “May we not meet again, Antha.”

Antha turned around, smiling faintly at Atlas leaving. “That makes me want to see you again as soon as possible.”

“No, thank you.” Atlas opened the door, walked out down the hallway.

When he came out of the Zelos Cage, Atlas suddenly thought of something. He paused for a moment, making Kaysen watch the young man.

“What's up, Atlas?” Kaysen looked at Atlas's face.

“I thought of something.” Slowly Atlas turned his eyes to Kaysen. “If I am the Libra, the Seventh Star Child, then what about Irene? What's the girl's nickname?”

“I guess you thought of what.” Kaysen slowly put both hands in his pants pocket, then looked forward. “Irene Cyne, Third Star Child, The Gemini.”

“Third Star Kids, huh? Then what's his strength?”

“As far as I can tell, Miss Irene can double down while wearing the purple mask as you have seen. For his other powers, I don't know. Even I doubt if he can fight like you.”
