Back To the Beginning
Pick up Evelyn and Ms. Ariadna


"Ah tired!" I cried while lying on the sofa at the end of the room.


My hands ached after writing many words on paper. I wrote down a recipe or formula for some perfume.


The formulas are now being splattered on the table and are being read by Mr. Meinhard carefully.


"outside can... Did you get these formulas when you accidentally mixed the ingredients in your village?" asked Mr.Meinhard as if he still couldn't believe it.


I woke myself up and leaned against the cushioned back of the sofa.


"Yes right, I did it because I had no other job at the time."


"It's still hard to believe" said Mr. Meinhard, still staring at the paper in both hands.


"I told you Arthur is a genius!" puji Noland's.


Noland was still around the test table, and tried to mix in some of the remaining materials. He's full of curiosity.


"No Noland, I'm not a genius. I just take a lot of time for this," I said humbly.


I can be an expert in this field because I have memories from my past life. Isn't that cheating? can you call it genius?


After all, geniuses did not come from innate birth, but they were formed in the right time and environment.


So the point is, everyone can be a genius.


Mr.Meinhard was still focusing on the many papers splattered on the table, and Noland was still fiddling with the objects on the test table.


I looked out the window.


The bright sunlight had just now started to dim. Maybe it's time.


I walked out of the room to look at the large clock that was hung in the middle of the warehouse.


Yes. It's time.


I turned around and walked back towards Mr. Meinhard who was very focused.


"Mr.Meinhard, it's time. I want to pick up our guests" I said as I stood beside him sitting down.


He looked at the window and looked at me.


"Ah yes, please use the horse carriage that we were riding. Their treatment is special" said Mr. Meinhard.


"Well Mr.Meinhard," I said with a slight bow.


I turned my gaze towards Noland who was smelling a lot of liquid inside the bottle.


"Noland, how? do you want to come?" ask me to take Noland.


"Anyway, I'm sorry Arthur, I'm working here" Noland said, a little clumsy.


It seems like he still can't meet his idol. His heart is not ready.


"Hehe's okay, Noland, go ahead."


I bid farewell to the two of them to pick up Evelyn and Ms. Ariadna.


I walked out of the room and towards the factory exit.


Even though it was almost afternoon, busyness still continued to occur in this factory. The crowd was still focused on the machine in front of them.


Despite a lot of busyness with the machines, this place is still quite clean. Not like my previous expedition. Is it possible this cleanliness because there will be guests visiting? I don't know.


Of course, their gazes were still felt.


Already at the door of the factory, the person who became the door looked at me carefully to memorize my image. After that, he opened the big door and gave me a way to get to the horse carriage that was waiting.


I walked over to the luxurious horse carriage ahead.


Talk to the person driving it and get into the train.


The train started to go to the place we promised.


Fountains in the city square.


We promised to meet at the spot when the bells from the clock tower there rang three times. Or in other words, 3 p.m.


The atmosphere remained the same, crowds and excitement everywhere. This is in contrast to the Alps, which are famous for their peace.


Even so, the place has its own characteristics that are not owned by other places. Therefore, it makes this place so famous.


A few minutes passed, we got closer to the fountain, and the bell from the clock tower still did not ring the third time.


Thankfully I was on time.


The train stopped on the side of the road, close to the fountain.


I got out of the horse paper and walked a little into the fountain.


Many people pass by in this place, some enjoy the beauty of the fountain, and some shop around this region.


The city of Monte Rosa, is also famous for the city of swords, because in every eye you see, you will see at least one merchant who is ready to take orders from you.


I arrived at the fountain of the city square.


Although only a simple fountain, this fountain can attract some people because of its elegance and compatibility with the condition of the surrounding house.


I tried to stand for a while in a place that could be seen easily.


A few seconds later, the large bell from the clock tower right in front of the fountain began to ring. I stared at the big bell. "Are they late?" my thinking.


As if answering, I suddenly felt two people walking towards me. I changed my focus to the person walking towards me.


If I look, those two people are Ariadna and Evelyn.


"Good afternoon, son Arthur," Ariadna greeted me as she approached.


"Hello again Arthur!" evelyn said next to her with a smile on her sweet face.


I answered them all while waving my hand.


Evelyn seemed to be doing a disguise, so as not to be noticed by people around her. It would be troublesome if suddenly people gathered to meet up with Evelyn who was on the rise.


Maybe it's hard being an artist.


She wore light beige woolen clothing with berets adjusting to the color of her clothes. Her hair ties are also different from her hair ties when she is on stage. He also uses glasses to perfect his disguise.


Relaxed appearance.


If Ms. Ariadna, hmm. there seems to be no change at all.


I'm glad they kept their word. I panicked a bit earlier, I thought they were going to trick me.


Thank goodness it's not what I imagined.


Without further ado, I began to guide them to the horse-drawn carriage that was around here.


"Please Miss Evelyn, and Ms. Ariadna follow me to the horse-drawn carriage that will deliver us. For the chat, let's start there later," I said as warmly as possible.


The two of them agreed to it and followed me from behind to the waiting horse carriage.


......................


We were already inside the horse carriage, and had just started walking.


All right, I'll try to open up the topic.


"By the way Miss Evelyn, your appearance is very different from your usual appearance when performing," I said as if not knowing.


"Ah, yes. It's my performance off-site."


Evelyn spread her arms, as if showing off her new appearance.


"Right, your appearance does seem more relaxed than your appearance when you perform."


"From that, why do you seem to look more formal than our previous meeting" Ms. Ariadna said.


"Yes right!" evelyn said with question marks.


"I am very weak with cold temperatures, so I have to wear extra clothes," explained as she pointed at my scarf located inside my coat and gloves.


"Ah.. so," said Ms. Ariadna with understanding.


"Now it's Ms. Ariadna's turn! why do you look the same when we met yesterday?" I said with a relaxed tone.


"Eh my looks? this is how I look when I'm at work" Ms. Ariadna explained briefly.


"Hey Arthur, do you know? ariadna's performance when not working is very charming!" obviously Evelyn.


"really?"


"Miss Evelyn, don't say it here" said Mr. Ariadna.


"But that's the truth, Ariadna."


It seems like they are both very good at fashion, whereas I am...


"To be honest, I'm not at all good at fashion, I just wear whatever I have."


"It's a pity, when if your appearance is changed a little... It will definitely be very good, isn't that so Ariadna?"


"You're right Evelyn, if only her hairstyle was changed in style" ms. Ariadna said with a few words that I did not understand at all.


"Ariadna is very smart in fashion, my performance on stage is what sets her up" said Evelyn.


"Ah so."


I looked towards Ms. Ariadna, she was still busy with her world. I understand that feeling.


In the midst of the talks, without us realizing we had arrived at a small factory, our destination.


I unlocked the train door, got off and opened the door for them.


"Let's go, we've arrived" I said, saluting with a slight bow.
