Near the T-place. Gail and Kin De walked together quietly. The sky was turning purple. Gail was observing her book while walking. Kin De looked at her. Her eyes didn't even move from the pages.
Kin De: "What are you doing?"
Gail didn't look at him.
"Observing."
Kin De looked like that was the most nonsense answer he'd ever heard.
"Observing what? I don't remember any reason for us to observe."
Gail turned page after page.
"If you really think we have to observe—"
She took a pen from her pocket and noted something.
"—it's because of reasons?"
Gail pointed the pen at him.
"Why did you even become a Goder?"
Kin De looked straight forward.
"Because I had to."
Gail looked at him.
"...You had to. Really?"
Kin De: "Well, what do you expect? I have enough qualifications to be a Goder."
Gail didn't buy it. She focused back on her book.
"Yeah, right. Tell more about your talent... but don't expect me to care. It's already been so late for admit you."
Kin De smirked. He looked back at the road.
"Is it hard to accept that I can stand by your side? After all these years I spent standing behind you."
Gail closed the book and hid it in her clothes.
"I really don't mind... and besides, everyone knows you took this title and job because of me."
Kin De stopped walking.
"Well... if you really think it's right that I chose this title for you. Fine. There is no difference in the work and title for a Goder. But... why don't you say anything about this?"
Gail sighed: "Because—"
"Gail Soe!" someone called out.
Gail is look at where voice is come from.
"Oh, Tail Tom. Long time on see."
It was Tail Tom. He wore an orange half-coat around his neck. His shirt was greenish-blue with one button. His sleeves covered his wrists. He had emerald green eyes.
"I think it's only been a month, but it's good to meet you, Gail Soe."
He bowed. Then look at Kin De.
"And also, Kin De."
Kin De didn't look interested, which made Tom awkward. Silent is sleep between them. Kin De is even yawned. Gail finally sighed and she said.
"How about you tell us why you are here, Mr. Tail Tom."
Tom scratched the back of his head.
"It's a little embarrassing when you call me 'Tail' with 'Mr.'"
Gail smirked.
"It's not like I'm some young, pretty girl for you to get flustered over."
Tom: "I'm sure you were pretty when you were young. Even today, you look fine."
Kin De: "I think that's my line, kid."
Tom: "I'm sorry... I'll be careful next time."
Gail touched Kin De's arm with her fingers.
"You can't call him 'kid.' He is an adult now and has a title. The 'kid' thing doesn't suit him."
Kin De look at her.
"Everyone younger than me is a kid."
Gail raised an eyebrow.
"Kin De...."
Kin De didn't look at her. Gail stared at him. Tom tried to break the tension.
"Ah... Gail Soe, it's fine. I don't mind at all."
Gail looks at him.
"No. It's not fine, Tail Tom. We need to give you respect as a gentleman."
Tom 'zipped' his mouth shut. Gail and Kin De kept staring at him.
Tom: "I really need to stop watching science fiction movies, don't I?"
Kin De didn't care. He looked at Gail.
"So what? Are you going to punish me? Just for this? So scary, Madam."
Tom: "You aren't even listening to me."
Gail: "We are the same level like you said, but I will do it if I have to."
Kin De smirked.
"I hope that happens soon."
They stared at each other. Tom couldn't stand it anymore.
"You know, I just... have to go somewhere." He walked away fast.
Gail watched him go, then turned to Kin De. Kin De blinked.
"What?"
Gail kept staring. Kin De sighed and looked away.
"Ok, fine, fine. I'm sorry. Stop staring at me like that."
Gail poked his cheek. His cheek turned pink.
Kin De look at her. "I'm sorry, okay! Stop this already. God damn."
Gail finally stopped and whispered, "Idiot."
She walked away. Kin De stood there watching her. He closed his eyes and smiled.
"Yes... I am an idiot." He followed her.
In the middle of the village. Te Ra sat on the ground. She poked the girl who stuck her head in the hole. Her body is yanking in the air. She wears the beautiful white shirt and skirt.
Te Ra: "Ah... you good?"
Lut Set stood there, watching Te Ra's nonsense.
"How can she be good when her head is in the ground?"
Yeah, the girl was slipped by Te Ra's trap meant for Tim's group. Now her head was burying in a hole. Her luck look like forget about her.
Te Ra looked at Lut Set.
"I don't know? Maybe that can be therapy!"
Lut Set hit his own forehead and shake his head.
"What kind of mind thinks this situation needs therapy? Are you crazy or dumb? Or maybe both."
Te Ra shouted back.
"Hey! I am not!"
Lut Set crossed his arms.
"Thanks for 'the fool tells himself he is crazy'—it really exists. My lady."
Te Ra pointed at Lut Set with her stick.
"Ha ha! You are wrong. The fool never talks about being a fool. It's the real standard words. Page number 54 of the student book. You lose, Lut Set."
Lut Set looked at her, unimpressed. He pointed back.
"Roe Ge, Oal Ma, Ala Maru, Del Lel Pel, Map Forger, Aae Doe, and Puck Dae Ja Bu. They are the worst fools of their generation. Except for Puck Dae Ja Bu. Every fool in our history tells themselves they are crazy or insane. Read 'The History of Names by Calendar' book."
Te Ra: "Hey! It's not fair. You got so much time to read every novel."
The girl in the hole raised one finger.
"For the record... their history is not a novel. It's more like a true story."
Te Ra: "Not you too, Flo Re!"
Flo Re tried to escape the hole.
"We have 7 days for a week and every month has 35 days. Except 'Ru Aa' month."
Her head was stuck. She couldn't get out.
"If you read carefully the days name from Calander, you will notice that these names are, come from the 7 fools, Lut Set mentioned."
She finally gave up.
"Dust is already covering my head. I can't escape on my own."
Te Ra crossed her arms.
"You are just overrated."
Lut Set was exhausted with her.
"You really need to read books."
Te Ra: "Hey, I read books!"
Lut Set: "Student books don't count."
Te Ra: "What's the difference? Books are books!"
Lut Set: "Of course they are different! In between!"
Te Ra: "I don't even know what you are talking about, Two-Eyes! Even if you aren't wearing glasses."
Flo Re shake her body.
"Ah... I don't want to ruin your lovely moments... but please help me escape. I'm starting to feel sick."
Lut Set looked at her.
"What does that even mean?"
Flo Re crossed her wrists.
"I wouldn't dare."
Te Ra: "Of course she won't."
Te Ra stood and pulled Flo Re's body. Flo Re yanked. Te Ra used all her strength, eyes closing.
Te Ra look at Lut Set.
"Want to help?"
Lut Set shake his head and came to help. Finally, they pulled her out. Lut Set held Flo Re and placed her down gently. Flo Re's head was look like in circles. She covered her mouth.
"I nearly got sick there."
Lut Set sighed.
"Why don't you just ask for help?"
Flo Re: "I hoped you two would help without me asking. But you two really don't care."
Te Ra pointed at Lut Set.
"Well... talk about this to Two-Eyes. If he helps first, you don't end up like that."
Lut Set: "Huh?"
He came close to Te Ra.
"You are the one who wouldn't leave Flo Re's body. Did you even know how light she is?"
Te Ra pressed her forehead to his forehead.
"Huh...! if you didn't start this conversation to fight, she would already be out."
Lut Set pressed his forehead back.
"Huh….! Are you not the one who poked her back with a stick?"
Te Ra pressed harder.
"Oh really... what if I am?"
They didn't step back. The forehead battle continued.
Flo Re sighed.
"This is not the time for you two to play the forehead battle."
Te Ra pressed more.
"Quiet, Flo Re... I nearly win."
Lut Set: "In your dreams."
They pressed harder. Flo Re coughed.
"Speaking of dreams. I got that book."
Lut Set looked at her.
"Wait... really?"
Te Ra pressed harder while he was distracted, but unfortunately is he stood up fully. SO, her face is met the ground.
Te Ra: "You idiot!"
She looked hurt.
Flo Re: "4:00 PM."
Lut Set: "4 PM?"
He took a tiny brown metal clock from his pocket.
"Time is only 3:30 PM."
Lut Set looked at Flo Re. "
We need to wait, huh."
Flo Re nodded.
"Well, I hope she is coming."
Te Ra look at them.
"ARE YOU GUYS EVEN REMEMBERING I AM STILL HERE!"
Flo Re look at her.
"Oh, Te Ra. When did you get down there?"
Te Ra look at her.
"What's your problem!?"
Lut Set wagged his finger. "
You need to say 'What's wrong with you' instead of 'What's your problem'."
Te Ra look at him. "Shut up!"
