6 - Part E:
Kana lead the group towards the place on where we found the crystallized oxygen.
Well, she's just doing what I want to do but somehow I couldn't really figure out on why would Kana compromise.
"I have some business here."
And Kana answered me.
I couldn't help but ask...
"Which is?
"Research."
And she answered me.
Since I'm still curious, I ask about that also.
"Research for what?"
"That's a secret."
Okay...
Looks like she doesn't want to tell me what is.
So anyway, we walk passed the crystallized oxygen that we extracted from earlier and venture into a place full of glowing crystals that shape like deformed trees which make us look like we're in a crystal forest.
Crystal forest...
That sounds catchy.
Since it's catchy, I decided to tell everyone.
"Hey everyone, why not we call this place crystal forest?"
Kana answers me.
"Call it whatever you want."
Pshshshshsht*
"I'm cool with that." (Lokki)
Pshsshshshsht*
"Dude! Same here!" (Lokki)
Pshshshshshsht*
"I wanna call this place poopy forest!" (Maple)
Pshshshshshsht*
"Have mercy man! Stop talking about crap!" (Roc)
Pshshshshshshshsht*
"Poopy poopy poop..." (Maple)
Pshshshshshshshshssht*
"Aaaaaaaargh!!" (Roc)
Looks likes Roc is going to break.
Pshshshshshsht*
"That's not a bad name so why not." (Ace)
Pshshshshshsht*
"Crystal forest is a good name Linel." (Aeris)
Pshshshshsht*
"Whatever you say my dear, I'm with you." (Mathias)
Pshshshshsht*
"Nobody cares what you call it weirdo!" (Wren)
Since I got everyone's approval, I'll be calling this place crystal forest then.
So we venture into the crystal forest.
While we are venturing, Maple controls the wavebot to slap the back of Zack and Lokki's wavebot.
Pshshshshsht*
"Bwahahahah! Tag you're it!" (Maple)
After that, Roc and Maple's wavebot runs away.
Pshshshsht*
"Why you!"
As Lokki responded and chases after them.
Pshshshshsht*
"Go get her dude! You can do it dude!"
And Zack cheers for Lokki.
Pshshshshsht*
"A game a of tag in a place like this huh... That will be interesting."
As Ace said in a cool manner.
Pshshshshsht*
"I'm not sure about that Ace. This place seems to be full of obstacles. We might have an accident if we play tag here."
As Aeris said in a worried manner.
Pshshshshshsht*
"That's the point. Now go bump Lokki and Zack."
As Ace said in a cool manner.
Pshshshshshshsht*
"I don't know if that's a good idea." (Aeris)
Pshshshshshsht*
"Switch with me then." (Ace)
Pshshshshsht*
"Alright then... Please excuse me." (Aeris)
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeiiiiiir*
I'm not sure what's going on in there but the green colored hatch of Ace and Aeris' stops glowing.
After few seconds, the hatch glows which means that the wavebot is active again.
After that, Ace and Aeris' wavebot chases after Lokki and Zack's wavebot.
Chugchugchugchugchug*
They disappeared into the crystal forest.
"So, should we join them?"
I asked the others.
"Leave them be."
Kana answered me.
Pshshshshsht*
"No need to join them my dear, Let the little kittens enjoy playing with themselves." (Mathias)
Pshshshsht*
"Only kids play a stupid game of tag weirdo! Hmph!" (Wren)
And the two refuses to join as well.
Since I'm at lost on what to do, I decided to ask them.
"So what should we do then?"
Kana answers me.
"Keep exploring."
And the two follows...
Pshshshsht*
"Whatever you want my dear." (Mathias)
Pshshshshsht*
"Hurry up and move already! We're wasting time here!" (Wren)
Alright then since that's decided, I told Kana what to do.
"Let's keep moving then."
Kana answers me.
"Affirmative."
After that, we venture in further.
...
We were eventually able to get out of the crystal forest and enter another cool looking area thanks to Kana's good sense of direction.
The area that we entered is a bluish crystallize glowing canyon.
I can't believe that something that looks like a place in a fantasy online game actually existed!
Well, this whole place is totally awesome but this canyon is the best place I've ever seen so far.
It's even better than the crystal forest.
So Kana most probably read my mind and controls the wavebot to start walking into the canyon.
Of course the other two followed as well.
Chug* Chug* Chug* Chug* Chug*
While we were walking through the canyon; I can't help but to share my thoughts out of astonishment.
"This place is really awesome. If only I have a hover board or an air bike right now, it will be nice to run through this canyon riding one."
Pshshshshshsht*
"I agree with you my dear especially when you ride an air bike together with me. You can hold on tightly to my chest breathe in to my ears and gently whisper-"
"No thanks and besides, we'll be wearing a protective suit so your fantasies will never happen."
Before Mathias could totally creep me out, I quickly crush his dreams.
Pshshshsht*
"How about this my dear. We wear a conjoined protective suit then we can-"
Pshshshshsht*
"Shut up you stupid pervert."
And Wren quickly interrupted him which saves me some brain cell to think on how to refute him and what the hell is a conjoined protective suit anyway?
I don't think that even exist.
Pshshshshshsht*
"Don't be jealous my darling of me expressing my feelings freely. I could give you lessons on how to confess your love to my-" (Mathias)
Pshshshshshshsht*
"SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP!" (Wren)
Pshshshshsht*
"It's you're lost darling!" (Mathias)
Pshshshsht*
"Aaaaaaaargh! Why am I stuck with this pervert!" (Wren)
Pshshshsht*
"Oh yes! Insult me more! Yes! Yes!" (Mathias)
Because of the two arguing, I didn't notice that we hit a dead end.
On front of us is a blue crystal wall that resembles a hill.
As I look at at the wall closely, I noticed that there's something in there.
Since I'm curious on what's in there, I tell Kana what to do.
"Kana lets have a closer look."
"..."
Kana didn't answer and just silently control the wavebot to move closer while the other two are busy "arguing."
More like Wren is doing the arguing while Mathias is busy being his usual self.
Chug* Chug* Chug* Chug*
As we are closer, I saw the thing that's stuck in there.
The thing looks like a big black fur ball with one red eye and a bunch of tentacles that looks like roots.
I can't help but to ask...
"Kana is this thing-"
"It's a fossilized space monster."
Kana answered me before I could even finish asking again.
Though I found it annoying at first but somehow I'm getting used to it.
Anyway, I just remembered something which is what Kana said earlier.
"Wait a minute! I thought you said that there's no life forms other than us in this planetoid?"
"Yes."
Kana answers me in her usual serious manner.
I couldn't help but to start an argument.
"Then what is that thing over there?"
"A fossilized space monster."
Looks like I won't get through her by asking so I point it out for her.
"Isn't that considered a life form?"
"It's a fossilized space monster."
"..."
"..."
And that's the end of our argument.
After that, we silently stare at the space monster.
After few minutes...
"Uh... Kana? I think that's enough staring. So let's head on back to the starting point before we end up being late."
"..."
Kana didn't say anything nor move the wavebot.
I try to get her attention.
"Uh... Kana..."
"Give me few more minutes."
"Okay..."
Since I don't really have the right to complain because I'm not the pilot and Kana is been going along with what I want to do, I just silently stare at the wall while thinking about where will I have my lunch later.
There are two cafeterias in school which is hard to choose from since they both serve different types of food.
Cafeteria 1 serves hospital like food which actually tasty while cafeteria 2 serves cafe style food.
Not to mention the waitresses in cafeteria 2 are all cute but it takes awhile for the food too arrive.
Well, I can always go to the convenience store if I couldn't decide on those two but I wouldn't be satisfied just eating some health junks.
So where should I have my lunch?
"So you have a fetish for waitresses. I'll be adding that to my database later."
Since I already know that my thought are being read, I just calmly explain myself.
"I don't really have a fetish, I just think that they're cute."
"I see."
I'm not sure if she gets all that but who cares!
What's important right now which is...
"So anyway, are you done staring at the wall?"
"Yes."
"So can we go now?"
Going back before we end up being late.
"..."
Zit* Chug*
Kana didn't say anything and just turned the wavebot around.
Which means that's a yes.
I kinda understand how Kana interacts with me now.
Which is why I don't really get puzzled by her actions anymore.
Except for what she's doing with her cell phone.
I'm really curious about that.
"Someday, I'll show you."
"Really?"
"If you buy one of my products."
"Is that a bribe?"
"It's business."
Just hearing Kana say that reminds me of a mafia movie that I watched when I was a kid called "The God Mother".
So, We make our way back to the staring point while the other two who finally stop arguing and follows us in pursuit.
