Episode 3 - Vehicle

Episode - 3 Vehicle

I was sleeping in my room in the castle alone. At that time, I had a dream. A very weird dream. I dreamed a woman standing by my side. The figure of her body and face wasn't clear. I can't see her look, but I act like I know her. To say she was Cathrine, she look way different than the shadow of the woman in my dream. In that dream, she went away and she spoke clearly for the first time I heard. The way she talked, she sound very sweet, like an innocent girl. I can't compare her with Cathrine. I don't even know where was I that time. I don't remember it slowly and then I woke up.

"Eh?"

My first word after the dream.

Today's current date was 5 May 2078 and it was morning. I woke up at that time, thinking what was about that dream. It's weird and unthinkable. Its like the woman in the dream is some kind of hint of what come on the future. If that's true, I would be excited first. But I'm still thinking about Cathrine. I don't want to put Cathrine away for now. If that woman really did exist, I'll be happy but also confussed about which of them should I end up with. I mean... Both Cathrine and the woman in my dream.

Ah stop thinking about it.

I shut myself from thinking about the dream I was on lately. I went to change and have a shower, wear my clothes and went outside to see Cathrine in the hospital.

When I was on my way to the hospital. I was still walking on the route where it head to the hospital. But then one of the genius came approached me from behind.

"Stop!"

"Huh?"

I got startled a bit. The person that went to see me was Mr. Garhae. He's the 3rd Genius in the list. I never had conversation with him before. He had a skill of doing a mechanic thing like creating a vehicle. "Oh.. Mr. Garhae.. What are you doing here?" I asked him. "Mr?! It's Minister! Minister Garhae. A new nickname for us Genius!" Said Mr- I mean Minister Garhae. Yeah, that nickname is now officially used for the Genius. Now he's gonna asked me a favor for something.

"So why did you come here to see me?"

"Can you help me? Would you like to be on this secret mission?"

"Huh? Secret mission?"

"Uhmm. Let me explain. This mission isn't as dangerous as your fri- I mean, the archer queen's mission. This is like a simple thing for you to do. You only need to go and find the thing I asked. I received some report that there was a car factory near our fortress and yep every people I asked to go there to search up a car battery are scared."

"Oh. So... You want me to go there?"

"Yeah.."

"Alone?"

"Uh.. Nope. I'll be there too! With some of my crew member! Don't worry! Don't be scared! I'll come with you... Yeah.."

"I'm not scared."

"Eh.. You not scared? OMG you're so different than the other!"

"But before I decide, can I ask you?"

"Sure!"

"Have you asked King Archer, Zega, for help on your mission?"

"Oh.. Yeah I did."

"So he refused?"

"Yeah."

"Hah... Man... Seriously.. Then I'll go on that mission.."

"Wait what?! Really? OMG I can't wait for the battery. I can't wait to test my new vehicle with different design!"

"But not now."

"Eh? Not now? Why?"

"I had something to do today. Don't you see where I'm going?"

"Oh.. Ah.. Sorry.. For interupting your way. Okay! I've something to prepare, see ya when you are ready for the secret mission."

"Okay.."

What so secret about it? It's kind of like hope for us to travel everywhere. Whatever, I'll tell my brother about this for permission..

And yeah, I accepted the request from Minister Garhae. I continued my way to the hospital to visit Cathrine.

And when I arrived...

There is... A 3 girls..

"Ah.. You did very good at the mission!"

"Without you, all of us are dead!"

"Casha, Renha, Eres. All three of you did a good job on the mission.."

I'm a bit shy to get into their conversation but... Should I wait? Looks like her condition is getting well.

So I decided to join them.

"Oh hello... Uh.. Good morning... Eres.. Casha.. Renha. All three of you are also here.."

"Oh! Good morning, Liez." - Eres

"Hey.. You should knock the door first before going in.. What if we are doing something you should not see?" - Casha

"Let me think. If you guys are doing something, shouldn't you guys atleast close the window?" - Liez

"Um.. You're right.. You're such a Genius.." - Renha

"Alright! Alright! Everyone.. Stop fighting.." - Cathrine

"Sorry!" - Eres, Renha & Casha

The conversation between them three and me stop a bit there. I and Cathrine started talking

"So.. Good morning, Liez.."

"Good morning.. Ah.. How are you?"

"I'm good. My fever has gone. But still tired. I need some rest.."

"Yeah.. You should."

Actually, I brought a food I made again for her.

"You must eat a breakfast."

"Oh.. Thank you but.. I they also brought a food for me.."

"Oh.. Then.. Choose.."

And here we go again.

"Eat our first!" - Casha

"What kind of food did you brought?" - Liez

"Does it matter? Tell me your first!" z Casha

"Um.. It was her favorite food.." - Liez

"You know her favorite food?" - Renha

"Oh.. You guys never knew, eh?" - Liez

"No way! Tell me what's her favorite food?!" - Eres, Casha & Renha

"No way. Heheh." - Liez

"Ahhhhhh! You bastard!" - Three of them

"Guess.. I'll eat the first who arrived later.." - Cathrine

"Yay! We win!" - Them

"Bruh. Atleast she has mine.." - L-e-i-z

"And I'll eat Liez's after this one." - Cathrine

"W-WDYM BY THAT?!" - Them

(WDYM \= What Do You Mean)

"Huh? What's wrong" - Both me and Cath.

"Uh.. Nevermind. But it doesn't matter. Atleast she got to eat our first!" - Them

"Yeah I admit my losing. So get lost."

"What?! Why are you ordering us to leave?!"

"I have a.. something to talk with her. So please leave now. Go train yourself."

"Aww.!!! Can't believe he order us-"

"Just leave, you three.." Cathrine gave speech.

"OH! Okay!"

"I win, you win. We're tie. No one win. Next time we'll win!" - Casha

"Sure..These kids.. Bruh.." - Liez

So after that, the three of them leave and now only two of us left. I started to talk to her about the mission I got. I told her that I got first ever mission. But not just that, it was a secret(no need to) mission. I asked her if I can borrow the bow and some arrow. But she then asked me to explain the mission. After she hears my explaination, she recommended me to use a sword rather than a bow. I asked her why, she explained it that bow is for the far range, sword is fit for this mission. She then told me to asked the king of swordmen, Owel, to get a sword for me. I have nothing to say, just accepted it. I was a bit frustated because I didn't learn using a sword a lot. I only took it with Iris. She's also a beginner but man she knew how to use a sword. She's on the same age as me. She also born in this fortress. She really love to be a swordwomen. So she became one. And after that, I leave. Cathrine wishes me goodluck and I saw her smile, cute smile. It cured me a bit from being frustated. Now I grew confidence and took a sword from the king of swordmen.

After arriving to the swordmen area, the place was a bit scary. Every people there are bigger than me. All of them has a big, muscular body. Their arm is too big compare to me. I wonder what kind of training do they've been through that make themselve look so big. I wanna be like that too but man I can't imagine myself being that big.

When I was finding the swordmen king, Owel, I met Iris. Iris looking a bit sad there. She was standing there watching a grave of his old friend, Pieck. What I know about them is both of them has a crush on each other since they are teenager. How do I know? Cuz Pieck told me himself secretly, while she also tell me secretly too. To be honest, actually I have a feeling on Iris. But since I heard she has a crush on Pieck, I gave up on her. I wanted them to end up together but 3 years ago, Pieck died on his first mission with her. Pieck and Iris both a well trained swordmen before. Iris has become an expert today.

Note: Side Story about Iris and Pieck will be given at the end of Vol 1.

Back to the current situation, she really did missed him so much. She even visit his grave untill now. Oh yeah, should I interrupt?

"Um.. Iris? Hello.??"

"Oh.. Hi Liez. What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in Archery training? Oh wait, I forgot your trainer are in a not well condition."

"Oh well.. She recover so fast. She'll be good tomorrow I guess. I have a mission today."

"Oh a mission? What kind of mission you got? Isn't this is your first mission?"

"Yep. You know, Mr Garhae, he asked me a help to search up a car battery. I don't even know how it look like. I didn't read a book connected with mechanic things."

"You're a genius on your own. But Car Battery, huh? There is some car we got, you've never saw them before?"

"Well.. I don't know but I heard from that bastard who love car took a peek on Mr Garhae and told me that he's planning to make an electrick car we don't own an oil that are for car. But oil station was not far from here. It was 20km gaps between here and the oil station."

"Its simple for you, eh? 20km is too far you know?"

"Welp. I didn't care. I'm just being myself. Everything I do, I make sure to finish it even though it requires my life."

"You.. Don't be like Pieck, please.. I don't.. Want to lose anyone else now."

She cries a bit. I felt sorry saying that to her but then here I'm showing my true self.

"I believe I'll never fail. I'll never abandon you too. If anything happened even it's out of my business, I'll join and solve it for you. I'll do my work till it done. Now I get my first mission."

"So what you came her for..."

"I want a sword. Do you know where Owel is?"

"He's not here... He went on his mission."

"Oh.. So.. What now.."

"I'll get you a sword.."

After our chat, she brought me a sword. I took it and said "Thank you." to her. But she answers it in a way.. that attracted me "Please comeback safely. Good luck for your mission."

After that, I went to take a look on the car to see how was the car battery look like but I accidentally met Garhae.

"Oh! Liez!"

"... What.. are you doing here?"

"Oh you didn't come to decide?"

"I've decided..."

"Oh! So whats your answer?"

"I'll do it."

"Okay! Lets go."

"Wait a second. I'm asking how the car battery look like.."

"Hah? You don't know? Don't your teacher teach you in the school about these?"

"Oh wait. Since when did we had a school in here?"

"Gahahah! Your mother didn't teach you?"
