UNLUCKY
Ch.148 - Feel Lucky!
Felix and Cain were sleep-deprived, less appetizing to eat and only scooped up a little food. But Tan, Teo and Tom were different, the three of them even asked for more food to the cafeteria attendant.
"Because of lack of sleep so must be balanced by eating a lot!" said Teo.
"Sleep that helps metabolize food, if you lack sleep, there are still many foods that are stacked and not metabolized like carbohydrates ... do you want diabetes?!" said Cain.
"My stomach condition .. I know for myself!" said Tom.
"Hahh .. free to talk to you!" Cain regretted advising.
While eating they did not stop glancing at Parish and Dallas who were suspects of the Pink Ghost Impersonator. But because of the busyness in Mundebris they did not have time to investigate further. Moreover, there were no more casualties after Gina and it can be concluded that the one who turned Magdalene into the Snow Witch was the Devil and the creature found while in Mundebris, the other side of the school that is the gathering place of the Devils. I don't know if it's true that Gallagher students work together on this but are temporarily silenced first. Too many problems, so have to choose one of the most important and most emergency to deal with. Felix regretted not being able to solve the problem so he piled up, "Is it because my time management is wrong? how does Iriana solve this many problems, even though the age of 7 has participated in the war .. It looks like I will be the worst Caelvita of all time!" felix said in his heart.
Back at school they immediately took the train to the last thread owner was. As Felix said, the thread headed for a remote village. The village is still unaffected by the city's culture. There were no department stores at all, but Tan complained of being very thirsty. Even small stalls do not exist, still like the village of old times with every house that looks there is smoke because it still uses manual means instead of gas stoves.
The people in the village came out to see the arrival of five children who were from that city. Teo and Tom were embarrassed to be noticed that way.
It is very strange that they just walk without asking someone's home address when usually people who are first to the village will definitely ask first. But they also could not ask because they did not know who the person he was going to be. Just keep following the red thread that led to the small house at the end of the village.
Simultaneously they let out a long sigh when they saw that the red thread actually ended there. But when the owner of the red thread came out of the house, their faces turned grim.
"Who's brother?" ask the girl who was carrying a cup of rice.
"We from the city got a school assignment to do a survey .. do we not interfere?" felix said he expected to use what methods and categorize his strategy based on the age of the last common thread owner.
"Well, how old are you?" cain asked to follow Felix's strategy.
"8 years!" tell the girl.
"What a coincidence! are there other children of this age in the village?" said Tom.
"Only me, the others are all young and if you are 8 years old and above must have gone to find work all!" said the girl.
"Well, what a coincidence!" teo said he was happy not to have to act by pretending to go to another child in the village.
"If you may know the name ..." said Tan was disturbing because the girl was looking to cook.
"Bella!" answer directly.
"Isabella?" ask Teo.
"Just Bella!" he said he was a little shy his full name was mentioned.
Cain and the Three Twins glanced at Felix and asked the same thing through the mind, "Try to read his mind, so that we can improvise again ...."
"I can't read his mind!" felix responded with a thought, "All Players Exchange Death, there's nothing I can read his mind, including Kiana!" continued.
"I thought it wouldn't be easy .." said Cain in his heart.
"It looks like there's no school near here ... Bella, where's school?" said Felix who was immediately rewarded with a cynical look from the others for not being polite immediately asked such a sensitive matter.
"I'm not in school, brother!" bella said she was not offended at all.
"Didn't the government provide scholarships for the underprivileged .." said Felix completely insensitive to make Cain and the Three Twins could only smile wryly.
"Do we look like we have capable parents?" ask Felix.
"You're all neatly dressed and looking like the Young Master of a rich family!" reply Bella.
"Thank God if it looks like that .." Teo said happily.
"Didn't it?" ask Bella.
"We're a kid from an orphanage, maybe ... Bella is luckier than us because she has her own house and still has family than the five of us!" felix replies trying to take Bella's heart by making her say that they are not much different.
"Sometimes appearances can be deceiving .. so we dress as neatly as possible to look like we have a parent who takes care of us!" cain said smiling.
"I should have done that too .." said Bella, beginning to feel at ease knowing she wasn't the son of a rich man who wanted to question her.
"Just eat by yourself?" teo asked as he saw only a cup of rice would be cooked.
"No, three with my Grandma and sister!" reply Bella.
"Bella's parents aren't home?" ask Tom.
"My parents died of TB, my grandmother also now has TB, my sister has polio!" bella replied as if she were used to answering the question, "So inevitably, I have to be the backbone of the family!"
Premature adulthood, due to the forceful circumstances. Felix, Cain, Tan, Teo and Tom are so grateful for what happened. It turns out that he was lucky compared to Bella's life. But at least Bella has memories with her family. Felix and his friends don't even have memories of their parents. Want to say miss but the face alone does not know what it looks like, there are also no memories to remember so it can be missed.
Felix, Cain and Tan stay to question Bella with some casual questions. Teo and Tom go to find a place to buy food for Bella and her family.
"Is it okay to take photos?" ask Felix.
Cain and Tan are confused by Felix, "Do you want him to take a photo of everything?"
"It's okay!" sahut Bella's.
Long enough Teo and Tom came back after looking for food that was very far from the village.
"It feels bad to take a gift from you that is not much different from me.." said Bella.
"Haha ...it is also funding from the school for this task!" teo said lying.
"Then I should have taken it, as payment for answering the question!" bella said smiling.
They say goodbye to Bella, want them to also say hello to Grandma Bella who is in the house but is prohibited by Bella because they could have been exposed to the virus because they did not carry a mask.
On the way after getting networked, Felix's hands get busy with his Smartphones, "What's the matter?" tanya Teo and Tom peeked out from each of Felix's shoulders.
"Wants to be a filial child!" sahut Felix's.
"Dam!" Cain laughed confusedly.
