3 Small Talk
They then walk inside, Zein looking around impressed with all of those miraculous things, He sees the grass that looks pale blue and brown. 6 white concrete pillar that holds the wide roof that has the Germany style of house. He walks towards a maid that has a black matte purple haired girl with two pairs of cat ears, with a patterned headband and The royal clothes are simple and slightly open at the chest, looking elegantly at Zein and asks Leestian.
“Leestian, Where is master Zein?”
“Yes Madam! I have a little difficulty explaining it, but this is a master." Leestian said in a stiff tone like a knight.
“Afternoon, Elizabeth! Is ‘she’ here?" Said the spirit from Zein's mouth with his own voice.
“About ‘her’… probably she is still on the mission that you gave her yesterday… Is there any matter?”
“Not at all, by the way, this boy… You might be curious about him right- Ahh, hello!” Said the spirit continued with the vessel greetings.
“Yes, Who is this young boy? And why do you coalesce with him so that you share your body and voice with him?” She said, calmly.
“He’s the result of my research.” The spirit thumb pointing at the vessel’s body with plummy tone.
“So… He is the one who will inherit the legacy of them?”
He only nod.
Leestian and her seems petrifies as if they understand what the spirit is talking about, they both walks towards me and then looking to my face so closely. My heart is beating hard, it feels hurt and it keeps faster, my face are very hot but I can’t do anything even my mouth can’t move. They both are touching almost all part of my body and then.
“But he is still a boy master, how can you let this stranger young boy carrying the burden that even you don’t wanna bear-” Elizabeth said in worry.
“-I think so, master. Besides that, is this boy capable to understand this world’s languages and how this country works?”
“Watch your mouth Leestian! I can feel- he has potential.” Answered this world’s Zein using the language that can’t even understand.
I just standing between both of them while talking with the spirit in my body. Looking left, right, and above. Just looking a way to take control again my mouth. And then I decided to use my hands and taking my phone on my pocket and opening wutsuff. Looking at the statuses and then to my chat which is… no one chat even call me.
“Hmm? What are you doing young boy?” Said Elizabeth with her silk voice to me.
“Ahh! Huh?! Me?? Nothing! Just looking my phone… Uhh, you don’t know about it, right?”
“Yea…. Phone? What is that?”
“See… Well, there is so many things we can do with this thing. But now, let’s make this gloomy spirit burning! Me!!”
“Yes?”
“You said that you can see my memory right?”
“Yes… why?” The spirit said, in confusion.
“Look after my memory about speaker, and create it with your magic.”
“Wait a sec.” And the spirit then goes quiet for awhile as same as the rest three of them. Not long, the spirit continued.
“Found it! You mean this… right?”
Suddenly, a big black speaker just appears when the spirit who controls my hand pointing my palm to my right. It comes from a particles that merging slowly and then POOF! Just like magic, it suddenly appear along with the pluger cable.
I’m smiling under my mask, and then put the pluger into my phone and I’m opening again my music player application.
“What are you intending to do?” Elizabeth said in confusion.
“Just look at another maids here, they looks so bored. And if I do this-” I click on the music with the title ‘Dark nightmare’ which is pop rock music genre and then put my phone on the speaker and then continue saying. “- Will make this boring vibe to rock and roll!”
“Arrghh! Invasion!! What is this?!!” Raihan said with his loud voice on my head and makes me have an headache.
“Ouch! Calm down, Zein. This is my planet’s music that I’m talked about earlier.”
“I-it is?”
“Yes…”
“When I go to my d*mn kingdom I always see that darkness within my nightmare~” The music beat starts to makes the maids around that mansion fill their soul, they start to ask each other, I’m feeling proud of what I do. I then with some hesitation on my soul speak in a shrill tone.
“H-HEY!! AKHH my throat, EKHM! WHY ARE YOU GUYS LOOKS CONFUSE??? JUST RELAX YOUR MIND AND BANG YOUR HEADS DOWN!!”
They seems hear to me, I see their smile one by one as if a light emerges in one place, the stiff atmosphere then melting slowly and all of the maid that I see seems to be relax while continuing their works. I look at those two maid again that also looks confused, but also enjoying this pop rock music.
I then, walk away from then forcefully taking control again of my body from Zein in this world to look around. I realize that, this floating island… this mansion itself is very big, I see a British style garden shed that usually used to enjoying tea and some dessert right at the right side of this mansion along those flower and purple dandelions around that shed with a fish pond and a fountain statue of a beautiful woman in front of it.
The left side I see a bunch of flower neatly arranged, There is a some Bee bliss like plant, rosemary, lilac-like plan but it’s turquoise, and of course, a rose flower with so many colors.
“Whoa… This mansion is just like my dream house.”
“It is?” Asked him to me.
“Yea, I like this place.” And suddenly Leestian walking slowly towards me and then says.
“This music you said… Look at our Maid chief.” She said pointing at Elizabeth who seems like banging her head and snap her finger following the beat of the music.
I laugh and then suddenly my head feels dizzy. My body does not following my own will, I suddenly falling down with my eyes feeling sleepy. I feel something soft and warm thing holding my body. It smells like lilac.
It makes me feel comfortable, I then just let myself sleep for awhile after I hear the voice of a soft thing that slowly cover up my back body with a thing that similar to a blanket covering half of my front body. I pull it up near my neck and turn my body to the right.
“Hey Zein.” This voice… I think I have heard this somewhere, it keeps calling me until I open my eyes in a dark place with only one light in front of me that slowly spreading and fill up this room.
“Uhh… Zein? Is that you? How can you get out from my body?”
“I’m not… you were fainted, now we are on your sub consciousness. But this place, it’s empty here… Oh! who is that young girl over there?”
“A young girl??”
11 years old young girl with her turquoise glamour hair, with her eyes that looks like cat eyes, flat nose and thick but biased lips and her skin as if she is the incarnation of the snow itself, walking towards me, I look at her, trying to remember who she is… She was… Never mind, I forgot her name. She walks around talking with so many people on this white dimension, but then I see a spot then suddenly turning dark. I turn my head to that spot and what I see… It was me, sitting all alone at the back bench, looking at her laughing, talking to all people there.
“Your dear person?” Said the spirit Zein to me.
“Kinda…”
“And that boy at the dark place, is it you?” He said pointing at me on this place who are putting my head on the table while drawing some stickman on the back of my book.
“Uh-huh…”
He then say nothing and look at the poor boy over there. That dark nightmare of my then disappear, a voice slowly appears and a cold hand slowly slapping my mask while saying. "Master... Master wake up! It's evening, all of the maids are waiting on the first floor.
“Ugh…” I slowly open my eyes, my hand feels warm and there is some kind of fluffy things that pressing my triceps, it feels soft.
I look at it and I see cleavage beneath the linen dress, I raise my eyes looking a girl with a familiar face and wearing a red eyeglasses with a pure expression on her face that is so close to mine that I can see there is a small black spot near her left lip. Her mouth smells sweet and cold, she keeps slaps my upper cheeks with her soft and cold hand.
My brain finished gain its consciousness, I pull my body to the wall near this king’s bed and breathe as fast as my heartbeat.
“E-Elizabeth?! R-Right??”
“Ahh… Yes. Is there anything wrong?”
“N-No… What’s up?”
“We are waiting for you to have a dinner with us.”
“Dinner… WHAT?! NO, I NEED TO GO HO- Wait, ahh yes it’s just one milisecond on earth if I stay here even its three and a half year, sure then… Me, what do you say?”
“Well if you say so, Elizabeth!” The spirit said taking control of my mouth.
“Fighr! (Yes!)”
“Prepare this child food that does not contain rebaton and selinar meat.”
“Fighr Mostio! (Yes sir!)”
And then she goes away and with no reason, she closed the door with a full force that makes my hair blow. And then, the spirit says to me while taking control all over my body while sitting on the bed and putting two of my fingers on my chin.
“Hmmm… E-Cup huh, she has a very big assets on her age.”
“Wait, people in here using the same way to assessing chest circumference? And ‘her age’? Just how old is she?”
“Simply to say, she is 13, just like you.”
“WHAT?!”
“Now then, let’s go downstairs.”
“H-Hey wait-”
He then move my body, getting down from this big bed and walking out from this big room. He walking downstairs from the second floor, which is the area of this bedroom to the first floor.
Around 34 maids and 4 butler are lining up from the edge of the stairs making way to the left which is leading towards the living room that mixed with dining room.
He pass them all and raise my hand, and then suddenly all of those people move away to the dinning table. He walks towards the chair that is placed alone in the corner of the table.
“Sit here!”
“O-Okay!”
I pull the chair towards me and then when I’m about to sit down my right hand it my left hand and the spirit talks to me inside of my mind.
“When you are about to pull your chair, raise it until it doesn’t make any sound and before you sit, tell everyone to also sit, whether you use the hand sign or just say it, or both.”
“A-Alrigth…” I said wobbly.
But wait, is this mean, that legendary nobleman acting event? I said on my head. My eyes shows that I looks smirking, and then I close my eyes and show my palm elegantly while slowly pulling my chair and sit down on it. At the same time, so many foods served on this long dining table, the maids are already sitting when I look at them.
I raise my hand up, and saying my praying before eating and take the chicken like meat in front of me.
“Is that some kind of culture of your people?” I said telepathically while opening my mask and put the chicken into my mouth.
“Not really, but you know the caste system, right?” Raihan said.
“Like… the classification of people’s life?”
“Yes, it is. So, there is six caste in this world. It’s the king, the nobles, military soldier, middle class, and the common people. Each of then have their own ethics in living life, for the kings he should be kind but also firm at the same time.” He stopped for awhile and then take some baked potato to eat and then continued.
“He eats alone or with his family if he has, and then he must have a good connection with the nobleman and also his people, also everything about him must be private to prevent the country’s weakness to be known by their enemy.” Explained The spirit me while I’m taking a baked potato on the plate.
“That’s kinda hard to be honest, how about the nobles?”
“Well, you experience it today. Right now, here. So basically the nobles ethics are almost the same as the king, but softer. They should looks elegant and majestic, and be responsible for their own region as same as the king, the only thing that makes them different is, the king must have a look at all over his country and the nobles, they’re just have to take care of their region.”
“How about the midd-”
“Quit blabbing around and eat!” He said to me in a raucous sound.
“Yo, chill man. I’m about to eat… Ohh don’t tell me you’re also hungry?” I said with my voice out from my mouth and it makes all of the maids are looking at me.
“Just… eat, I want to sleep!”
“Ohh, alright- Sorry!” Then I hear snoring sound from my head and makes my head feel pain. I hit my head and then he said.
“HUH wha- What’s wrong?!”
“Shut your snore it almost kill me!”
And then it gone.
I continue to enjoy my dinner with them, with this feeling… the uncomfortable, worry, and happy feeling at the same time. I’m looking around me. Golden vase, red color elegant chair. These 18 centuries maids uniform, no I am not looking at anything weird, really! Look at their face, some of them are looks blurry to me but I see them so obvious.
And these four maids, the one who has cat ears with her long black hair. That turquoise pixie hair girl on the left. The woman crimson with ponytail one, and then the blue and violet and this elegant woman with blue and violet short hair one. I amazed by four of them, but I immediately looking down to my plate and eat this all of these food while without talking to any of them.
“By the way, where was you came from, Young master?” Said that pixie girl to me while cutting her steak.
“Young master??” I said in confusion.
“From now on, you should get used to that title. Because we will serve you as a host here too just like Mr. Zein." Elizabeth said to me while putting food like vegetables into her mouth elegantly.
“Ahh, okay… Erm, I came from a planet called earth. A green and blue planet dominated by human race, we are similar like you guys as you can see.”
“I see. So this human race… are they having a classification on their own race? Like… half elf, half beast or something like that?”
“Not that significant, but we separate our race based on our color. There’s white race, black race, asian race…”
And we are talking about earth for around 3 hours. We talked about how does it looks like. How many countries are exist, talked about my country and japan, my favorite country. And about my own religion, they are not seems surprised or even excited about it.
I ask them.
“Does Islam exist on this world too?”
“Yes… But.”
“But what?”
All of them suddenly goes silent, I’m looking at all of them with confusion. I then take the last piece of chicken meat and then take a sip of the orange juice on my glass. The other me then suddenly moaning and ask.
“What’s happening here? Why are you guys being silent?” said him throaty.
We don’t even say a word. I am in confusion while they are seems to reluctant to speak, it makes the spirit also confused. He then just like humming as if he says ‘Let’s see’ on something and not long he says.”
“Ohh!”
“W-What?”
“Islam, right? Yes… the most beloved religion in the universe but also the only religion that has so many foe. Well, I understand why all of the girls here don’t wanna talk about it.”
“Why is it?”
“Not from us, you have to find it yourself. Now then, let’s go somewhere!”
“Really?? Just tell-”
“Faried Zein! Sometimes, there some things that you should know by yourself, not by others! Now, Come on!”
“Right…”
He then move my body outside this mansion, sitting on the terrace, he puts down a cup of coffee that he made himself at the kitchen. Right now, I’m looking at the sky along with him. He sip the coffee with full of pleasure.
“Ahh!!” He said in enjoyment
He then says.
“So… How was it?”
“How was what?”
“The girls here, most of them are at have the same age as you.”
“Well… They’re pretty, and…”
“Have a big asset, right?”
“H-Hey!"
“Hahaha… That was a joke. My main question here is, what do you feel about this planet, this… country?”
I stay in silence awhile, I don’t really know what to say cause I don’t even have a time to explore this country yet, don’t even know how I feel. I then decide I will talk how my feeling said.
“I feel this is amazing, just like I wished when I was a kid. Super power, science fiction like technology, also this creatures I don’t even know. This is just so perfect, but well… The environment here seems so bad. Precisely in its policy section, and social disparities between races and districts will be the biggest threat of this country to collapse…
it makes me feel a bit irritated with the leader of this country. What was he thinking?”
“Social Disparity… huh? You made a good point of it.”
“Huh? Did I hit the right spot?”
“I was not wrong in choosing you.” He said taking a sip of his sweet but also bitter coffee that I surprisingly like it too.
“Islam, was it? The thing that you wanna know?”
“Y-Yes! Is it really exist here?”
“It is! Guide of Divinity. But…”
This again, they just shut their mouth when they are about to talk about Islam, it’s really annoying. I then take control of my legs and move it outside the gate of this mansion. Looking down, the light envelope the darkness beneath my feet. I see a big man walking in staggered condition, being hold up by a man and a young girl with a hat.
Some are talking inside the alley, playing with their weapon, some with their fist, and some is rubbing a fire and lightning ball.
“It’s no use within this country. As you see of those people, even they are making a community called ‘Elucidus Islamantha’ or anti-Is
lam.”
“Really? Why?”
“I don’t really know the reason…” And we then going down towards a market below us to take a look of the people closer.
