Frustrated over that

Lost tales: The Day I Saw a God


Chapter 47

She thought to herself [I guess I didn't had to anything and just said this from the start]

He starts to walk into the stairs. While he was walking in the stairs and coming close to her step by step she was looking around the stairs. The stairs was so wide that ten people could walk on the stairs at the same time without even bumping to each other. It was a U type staircase. The railings of the stairs was made of gold though she didn't knew that. It just looked a golden colored railings to her. When he finally come close to her.

She asks him like this :"How long do you think it would take us to see the entirety of huge palace?"

Harley replies to her like this :"I don't know for sure but it might take a hour or some more hour."

Because Harley asked many different questions about this palace from his seniors and the archangels it took him more than a day to fully inspect the palace.

She also came to the same conclusion. She replies to him like this :"As I thought.. Then why don't we take a break."

He replies to her like this :"If sis wishes."

She feels urge to eats something. She didn't eat anything after coming here. She knew how to make some dishes but she can't make anything that is extraordinarily good. She isn't that good of a cook. She sometimes even burns the rice she cooks.

She asks him like this :"Do you know how to cook?"

He replies to her question like this :"Not that much, but I can some dishes, though I don't know if it will be taste good."

She replies to him like this :"Don't worry. I am not that good with cooking anyway I just want to have a good lunch."

He asks her like this :"Then what should I cook for sis?"

She replies to her like this :"Any dish that you are confident with."

She doesn't know that many dishes name. She even doesn't know what the dishes name were when she was cooking eat.

He replies to her like this :"Then wait for me in the next floor."

She was puzzled. She asks him like this :"Why?"

He replies to her like this :"I will go to the kitchen and cook something that will be in sister's taste."

She wasn't asking that. She was asking why she should wait for him in the upper floor.

She asks him again like this :"I didn't ask that. I was asking why I should wait in the upper floor??"

He replies to her like this :"It's because the next floor is the dining floor. There is a huge dinning table up there."

She tries to look if there is a dining room in the upper floor. She takes a few steps upwards and saw the end of the dining table that's in the upstairs. Some candles were lit on fire in top of the table.

She asks him like this :"Doesn't the kitchen also have a dining room?"

He replies to her question like this :"It has but it's only for the peoples who work there and I don't think sis, the owner of this palace should use it after all the upper floor's tables and chairs, even the atmosphere is way better than the one in the kitchen."

She replies to him like this :"I really don't care that much about being the owner of this palace but.." She continues her reply to him by asking him like this :"Is it really way better than the one kitchen we saw earlier??"

He replies to her question like this :"Yes, it is."

She replies to him like this :"Ok, then you can go to the kitchen while I am waiting from up there."

He takes some steps downward and replies to her with a gentle smile on his face like this :"I am coming back soon, sis!" He was waving his hand while saying that

She feels a bit awkward seeing that. She replies to him while waving her hand at response like this :"Come back soon!"

After she said that she thought to herself [He could have just walk and then say goodbye from that floor naturally. Why he even need to go down like that?]

He then starts to go to the kitchen that is in the twenty-fifth floor with the same gentle smile on his face. It seemed like he was feeling happy that he can let his master, his sister eat the food he will make. She seems to realizes that the reason why he is smiling is because of that. She leans her face and rest on her right hand's palm while her right hand was on the stairs railings. She makes a gentle smile too on her face unconsciously.

She thought to herself [He is really a very cute little brother.]

He looks at her face and saw that smile. His eyes meets with her eyes.

He thought to himself after seeing that [It seems like sis is also feeling happy and excited because I am making the dishes.] He makes a determined face and continues thinking like this [I shall not make her wait any longer and starts to make the dishes]

He then leaves the next stairs faster than before. To Natsumi it seemed like he was on hurry

Seeing that she questions herself like this [Did something happen? it seemed like he was on a hurry to do something.] Yes he was, he was on a hurry to make dishes for you make you wait less time.

She continues thinking like this [I should better get to the next floor and wait for him]

As she thought that, she walks her way towards the next floor. After taking some steps she reaches the twenty seventh floor. She finds the tables. She gets closer to the table. She touches one of the plate that was on the tables.

She said this :"I knew the table would be huge and long but I didn't think this will be this long!!!"

Her voice echoes throughout the floor. It gets louder for a second there. Though it was only for a second.

She also said this but quieter than before :"Just how many chairs are in here?"

She starts walking and counting how many chairs there is.

"1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8...21,22,23,24,25....39,40...56,57,58,59,61. Wait, wasn't I at 70? Or was it 60? Where was I again? I forgot. I forgot how many I counted!!"

She felt frustrating. She said this to herself :"After I count this much I really forgot where was I! I wish I was the most intelligent! Then I might have not forgot where was I!" She slaps her face after saying that to herself.

She starts to feel good again after venting to herself since nobody was with her. She thought to herself [Still this floor's is really different than the last two floors. The kitchen might have been really big and was wonderful but it didn't have anything that make it more special than most of great house's kitchen in my world."

She feels nostalgic and it made her sad. She continues thinking [I wish I could go back in there again. If only there was a guarantee to go in there again!]
