While the moon was in the middle of the equator, Max woke up first and put on his pants, and sat on the window sill looking at the wisteria park while Melianor was still sleeping. Max turned his head and saw Melianor's erotic pose. Max approached her and kissed her lips again. He got a response from Melianor. Max smiled.
"Wake up, you have to tell me about the Faceless."
"Let me take a shower first, hum..."
"Okay."
Max then step aside from above Melianor. The woman wakes up and shamelessly walks naked into the bathroom, lights up the shower, and after she finishes she asks Max to get her clothes. Max turned to the right and left to find it. He gave it all at once. While Melianor was dressed, Max sat on the window sill lighting a cigarette.
"I have the big picture but it's still not clear."
Melianor spoke as she exited the bathroom. She walked up to Max with her hair wet. Towels are not enough to dry them. She asked Max for a cigarette and then turned it on calmly and sat on the window sill. The window sill was enough for a two-person seat.
"As you might expect, there's something suspicious behind Bibi's death," Melianor revisits their conversation before tarot reading with Elijah.
"There is something in Elijah's memory and I didn't expect that if that, Faceless, interfered. This creature would rarely want to deal with another being unless there was something the creature couldn't resist."
"What's it like? Information about it is very limited out there."
"Of course, because its existence is even doubtful. Only those like me might know."
"That means Bibi is in contact with a creature that is beyond our expectations?"
Melianor sighed.
"I'm afraid it's something unusual. Something that even Bibi has to hide from us. Then whoever it was behind Bibi's death, must have realized that couldn't access Elijah's memory so easily. Then made a scenario, made Elijah come out by herself from the hiding place until it reached us. That's just my theory, it could be something else."
Max thought hard.
"I suspect the same thing. Before coming here, I saw Draft slaughtering org in the city. I met him and asked about it. He saw the org pacing back and forth. It goes without saying what happens next."
"That org didn't tell Draft what his business was in town?"
Max shook his head.
"Asked how many times, the creature chose to run away from the Draft."
"Even the creature is now getting better at keeping secrets," Melianor scoffed. "If I were Drafted, I wouldn't be responsible for it."
Max grinned. He agreed with Melianor.
"The problem now, what is Bibi hiding?"
When thinking about it, Melianor so not eager to smoke her cigarette.
"If Faceless in person is involved, this must be something that endangers several layers of the dimensions of the universe. There may be parties who intend to take advantage of the other party, control natural resources alone, or maybe worse than that. Although couldn't believe this, Elijah might have known the key to unlocking the secret by accident, so Bibi locked her memory so as not to guide the greedy creature in the right direction."
Max agrees with Melianor.
"What's your advice? Hypnotizing Elijah into forgetting all this, making her believe she had no mother, and then let her live among people, make her never found?"
"We can't do that. Elijah's subconscious is quite strong. No matter how hard we try, the subconscious will guide Elijah to the truth. The signs also scared me. What kind of creature impregnates Elijah's mother?
Max was tense.
"Elijah's demon blood power is enormous. Elijah just didn't realize it. If she realizes it and starts managing it, you might not be able to deal with it either."
"That means the creature is worse than a hell dog?"
Melianor was furious until her body shivered. Max stood up to her and hugged her.
"Can we do it again?"
Melianor raised her face with great hope. Max complies with Melianor's request. Max's hand moved up the tank top cloth on Melianor's body. Max kissed Melianor's lips. Next, Max and Melianor enjoy the time making love again.
Meanwhile, the light from a large window blinded the eyes. A thin white cordon was blown off. A man of the stature noticed Elijah who was still asleep.
It's comfortable sleeping, Theria thought.
He then turned his face away when he felt the wind blowing from the side of the window. He felt the need to close the window. Dusk is coming soon, the afternoon wind is not good for the sick. He closed it slowly, as much as possible not to cause a sound. By the time the middle shutters were locked, he heard someone whimpering. Who else if not her, looking at him was relieved to see Elijah trying to press her head while moving up.
"You better not force yourself."
Theria approached the pot of tea that had been prepared by Melianor in advance. He poured a glass of tea lotus. He placed the tea on the table so that it could help Elijah sit well first and then give the tea to her.
"Drink this, your consciousness will improve."
Elijah looked at him suspiciously.
"Who are you?"
"'My name is Theria," replied the man after standing up politely.
"Theria... Thank you," Elia smiled.
Where's Sunshine?"
Theria was somewhat surprised when Elijah called his superior casually.
"Ah, she's on business, I'm appointed to take care of you until she comes back."
"Then Max, you know the man who came with me, his name is Max."
"Yes, I know him. He's gone and hasn't come back yet."
Elijah nodded understandingly, although somewhat hesitantly, she tried to accept the circumstances.
"What happened to me?"
"You fainted while reading the card."
As fast as lightning, Elijah remembered what she saw last time. Her body shivered. In addition to remembering the last picture she saw, she also had a bad dream. To calm down, she drank the tea after smelling it. The cold temperature of the tea and its aroma immediately made her head feel lighter. The smell of tea was like removing the remnants of nightmares from her memory. The lotus tea water that entered her body was like having the magical power to clean the dirt inside her. Sensing a miraculous effect, she downed the tea. She looked at Theria. As she had known for a long time, Theria soon understood what Elijah wanted. He took a cup of tea from Elia's hand and refilled it.
"It's very refreshing isn't it?" said Theria as he recharged.
Elijah nodded shyly.
"What's that drink?"
"It's just lotus tea. The lotus was cultivated by Madam Melianor herself in her garden."
"Melianor? Who is that?" Elijah felt foreign.
"Ah, madam hasn't mentioned her real name yet? Melianor is Madam Sunshine's real name."
"Sunshine is Melianor?" Elijah repeated the name, afraid of being wrong. Theria nodded as he poured out her teacup. He stood waiting in his position, just in case Elijah wanted to recharge again.
Meanwhile, Elijah smelled the smell of the tea. Even though it is cold, I can smell the aroma, it must be cultivated well, and the treatment after being picked must also be very careful, Sunshine has a lot of talent, not only can make cakes, but she can also make tea from lotus. In addition, it turns out that her real name is beautiful as well. Melianor.
Elijah then remembered how Max noticed Melianor. His gaze was shady like finding shelter. Elijah became wondering, "When compared to when he looked at me, it's very different. Are they dating?" asked Elijah to herself.
Elijah took a deep breath. She closed her eyes. The lotus smelled to her. With that, she felt unworthy of being jealous of Melianor. She then sipped her tea. The taste and aroma even like it can treat mental pain.
Meanwhile, Theria thought Elijah enjoyed the smell of lotus tea. He smiled, proud of his superiors' work. He was ready to give a refill when Elijah asked.
After sipping tea, Elijah turned to Theria and ask, "How many days have passed since I fainted?"
"Just a day."
Elijah nodded with a tinge. She looked around. The bedroom is so spacious, that it feels like a penthouse. Then, she felt the need to look for another topic of bullying that could make her more relaxed and forget about the terrible things she saw.
"I'm curious about something."
"Yes? What's that?"
"If her name is Melianor, why does she use the name Sunshine? Is it because of business?"
"That would be the reason she mentioned whenever asked like that. The name was her best friend's gift. She once had a dear friend, a writer. They often spent time together, Miss Writer, as soon as I called her suggesting Madam Melianor to use the name Sunshine for her shop, she said it would be liked by humans."
Elijah tried to understand and was once again amazed. The fact that Melianor appreciated her best friend so much made her heart feel warm. She gets the impression that Melianor is a strong woman, inside out. Moreover, it seemed like Melianor was also loving.
"Is her friend a human?"
Theria nodded.
"In that case, what happened to her best friend?"
"She has died."
Elija expected it. Even so, those words were not easy not to make her feel pity when she heard them directly.
"Oh sorry."
"No problem. Madam was never sad about that fact. Madam knew for sure, that her farewell to her best friend would arrive. Madam always remembers her best friend by reading her works."
"So, her best friend managed to become a writer?"
"Yes, in the human world, she is very famous."
"Oh, what's her name?"
"Did you read the novel as well? If I mention it, maybe you will recognize it soon."
