24.Ship (2)
24.Ship (2)
"incredible…"
As Lex approach the cruise ship he unconsciously uttered a fascinated voice
( Just how big is this ship… )
( SS.Marie written on the side, I don't t know the exact number but it must have more than 1000ft long and more than 200ft tall. And it used as a transportation for military camp? )
( Just how rich the one who's hold this camp!? Grrr... I hate you uncle Paul! You should have told me something about this! Throwing me here without any information at all! )
Strangely Lex were given a hard ticket a paper ticket not an electric one, with how much advanced the technology in this world it makes Lex suspicious but he didn't think much about it.
Before long Lex arrived to the bridge that connected the port and the SS. Marie, in front of the bridge there's two black suits men stand as a guard and checking all the ticket.
Following the line Lex without any problem makes it into the ship, as he arrived inside the ship, Lex was again amazed with this SS.Marie, with its white exterior which makes the ship looks more elegant, the interior too didn't lose to that, the furniture the design, the interior too beautiful and elegant.
While following the instruction, Lex can see some path were blocked for passenger or maybe for someone like Lex who came here to participate in the military camp
Like Lex the others everyone only a children range from 8-12 years old, many of them looks uncomfortable in this kind of place, like they're not used to extravagantness
( Well, it's the same for me too )
( But still, looking from the blocked path, looks like we're only allowed to go around about 1/3 ship or half of the ship, I'm not sure but most likely )
( Even if it's only half of it, aren't this too excessive? Or maybe Uncle Paul paid huge money for this? Guhh I seriously hate this feeling not knowing anything! )
Actually Lex want to gather information as much as possible, but the instructor either the guard only giving a silent never answer the question of us, and the others children too looks they don't understand anything happening here
( Haa~ what to do… )
Lex arrived at the deck of SS.Marie, a black suited men guarding every side of the deck.
( Are they looking out for us children to avoid any accident? Or maybe they here to looking out so there is no one escaping this place? )
Lex cannot avoid thinking in the bad way, cause there's just too many guard, one man at every two meters.
As Lex wait the children on the deck keep increasing, and after the determined time come there's about more than 2000 children on the deck.
( is this Slave trafficking? Ughh… I don't know but..., everyone beside me have number on left hand!? )
That's right only Lex around him who's don't have number on his left hand, while the others have tattoo like number, this too which makes Lex can guess about how many children here.
Even with the determined time passed, the instructor never gave any kind of instruction,
There are about 20-30 people instructor subordinate black suited man they called the number one by one, giving them a key to their room
Before long only a few left alone
( Maybe they're the same as me? )
Lex thought as he approached the instructor
"Excuse me sir, what about me?" Lex called while showing his left hand which don't have number on it
"hmm, you're an impatient one huh" The instructor looks annoyed while answering Lex
"huh?" while Lex confused, he can't understand why he condemned by the instructor just by asking
"well, never mind, they always like this each year That's why I hate this system!"
( Nonono, don't tell me that! What system? Like hell I know that! Tell that to you superior! he never answered my question! What injustice is this!? )
( Haa~ not like I can say that face to face )
Lex slowly back to his position before, after a while only about 40-50 people left there, and this time unlike before they call the names of the children
One by one they called till it was Lex's turns
"Lex Spifer"
Lex approach the one who called him and take his key, that's right to hide his real family name, Lex using "Spifer" as his substitute name, spifer came from spider, and why he chose a spider? That's because one of Lex's favorite novel in his past life, that he even read it once more in this life, it was a story about reincarnated MC becoming spider in her new life
And of course, he already discussed this with Uncle Paul beforehand, to avoid any problem in the future, with their Bentley's family power it was easy for them to change one's name
Lex did not immediately go to his room, they were given free time till dinner night it still had about 3 hours, Lex used this chance to explore the Ship and gather as many information as he can
( Hmm, deck…. Cafeteria…. Rooms… and entertainment area…., that's all )
( The others were prohibited to approach, many paths were blocked )
( Is there any meaning here? )
( The guards never answer anything no matter who… )
( Is there any different between us names and numbers? )
( What's the differences? )
(Too few information… )
After an hour Lex given up and he was already at his limit in gathering information only by looking.
*clack
The door opened and Lex shocked froze on the spot seeing what's inside, the room interior was dark, have wooden like motif,
( No is this real wood? )
The difference like heaven and hell,
Just how the hell they made it like this!?
It's like the interior of medieval Europe ship before the steam engine founded. And there's 4 beds 4 small table 2 beds and 2 tables on the left and 2 beds and 2 tables on the right like a dormitory room.
"hello..."
Lex only snapped out from his frozen state when someone called to him, Lex looked for the one who call out for him, and froze once again
"..um, hello" the blonde handsome boy, silky like glittering blonde hair, and emerald like green eyes, smooth skin, delicate face, like a prince from the shoujo manga,
"Tch! Ikemen..." Lex muttered
"Eh? "The blonde boy was shocked by the unreasonable hatred
"buhahahaha, how the hell you know that!" and the third party laughing voice, heard by the Lex
The third party was a girl with a beautiful long black hair, and obsidian like eyes, she was laughing at Lex's reaction
"ohh, unexpected bishoujo…" by this time Lex already understood, the girl was someone who's like to read manga, novel or watched anime
If the first one by reflex, the second one was intentional
"kuhahaha" the girl laughing even harder by Lex
( This girl was beautiful, but something just wrong by the way she's laughing!)
After a while, only the girl laughing voice echoed the room, it was a strange situation, a handsome blonde man froze and shocked on the spot, a beautiful but strange laughing girl, and handsome boy who's engulfed by his own thought
…..
"sorry, that's common reflex when looking at handsome boy" Lex said while giving a random excuse to the blonde boy
"what kind of reflex is that!?"
"no, isn't that common?"
"then... have you given that kind of reflex before?"
"no?" Lex answered by tilting his head a bit, he can't understand why the blonde boy asked him that
"then it isn't common!?"
"Eh?"
"Eh?" the blonde boy too, confused by Lex confused answer
That's right! How can I forget about it! My appearance now much above the average one!
"kusu kusu , kuhahaha aaaa~~ my stomach hurtss~~, uhahaha, I can't stop laughing hahaha, what is this strange manzai ahahaa~~"
"erm…, how about we stopped here, unless there's gonna be a hole on that girl stomach" Lex suggested while pointing at the girl laughing rolling over on top of the bed
"…." The blonde boy too, staring at the girl like staring a strange creature come out from outer space, he looks like someone who's trying to escape the reality.
"kukuku, hahaha, my book, buha, kuhaha"
Then both of them, Lex and the blonde boy, stopped their conversation, looking at strange beautiful girl, waiting till her laughing stop, which only stopped after 3 minutes has passed
"phew…, I tot I'm gonna die" the girl said than the girl fixed her appearance, than sit upright on the other side of the bed from Lex and blonde boy
( Now I understand, why the blonde boy have that kind of expression before! The girl when she shut her mouth, like a very delicate cute and beautiful flower girl, a fragile existence which one touch can break her apart when she did not open her mouth!! )
"ermm.. if you two keep staring at me…" the girl said with a red blushed face, wriggling in the embarrassed stated which makes her even cuter "…I'll get pregnant"
" "Kuhaa!! " " Lex and the blonde boy feels like they have coughed out a lot of blood
Both of them exchange a glance, and put their hands on each other shoulder
( I know how you feel man, let's forget about this, when you peek at the abyss the abyss peek back at you, it's better not to touch it )
