Chapter 46
He bows down to her and replies to her like this :"As you wish, nee-san."
They then starts walking to the direction of the staircase. She starts walking in the stairs. Harley was following her from behind. She starts to feel more and more cold as they get close to the floor. She puts both of her in both of her shoulder and starts to rub her shoulder to get warmer.
She asks him while walking on the stairs like this :"Isn't this floor colder than the last floor?"
He replies to her while following her footsteps from behind like this :"Yes, it is."
She looks back at him and asks him like this :"Then why does you look like as if there is no cold in here."
There are many people who loves to stay in hot place and feel better in warm environment and there are also many people who would love to say in a colder place and feel better at cold environment. Though most people loves to stay at normal temperature. Like those many people who likes to stay in cold places Harley loves to stay at cold temperature. Though it isn't same for her. Though he realizes that after she asked that question to him.
He replies to her like this :"Sis, you might not know but most of the angels loves to stay at cold temperature. Though some of them likes to stay hot temperature. Though I am not that good in heat."
She understands why he was acting as if there is no cold in here. She replies to him like this :"I see. I didn't knew that."
They reaches the twenty-sixth floor after taking some few steps after that conversation. The floor was cold. She starts to shake because of the cold. There were cold mist everywhere in the floor. Though it wasn't as deep the mist she saw at her dream. Unlike her dream this time she could see clearly in the mist. She stops walking and stood in front of a door, a giant massive steel door.
She asks him while rubbing her shoulder like this :"What's inside this massive steel door?"
Harley replies to her question like this :"It's a giant refrigerator, sis."
She was stunned. At first she couldn't understand why there would be a need for a huge refrigerator like this. She was about to ask him about that but soon she realizes that this huge refrigerator is for the peoples who stays here and come here for and the supreme God, Light. Since she realizes the reason why it's here she didn't asks anything more about this floor and starts walking in the staircase again while rubbing her shoulders.
Harley thought she might asks some questions about this refrigerator but she didn't asks anything. He gets curious about why she didn't ask any questions
He asks her like this :"Don't you have any questions, sis?"
She continues to walk on the stairs. While walking on the stairs she replies to his question like this :"No. I don't have." She continues her reply to him by asking him like this :"Why do you ask?"
He replies to her like this :"Doesn't this massive refrigerator attracts yours attention, sis. When I came here for the first I couldn't understand why they would need a huge refrigerator like this and I asked about that and many more questions that one of the senior angel yelled at me."
She realizes that he is one of those curious type of people in games and novel. She replies to him like this :"You asked him that much question because you didn't knew about it. But I already know why there is a need for this huge refrigerator."
He was surprised. Though he didn't believe in her. Anybody could tell the reason after meeting that person, Light. Even though he could turn himself into a child and into a old man, he is still a child inside.
He replies to her like this :"Sis knows it!! It's impossible. Even I couldn't figure it out in this short amount of time rather by myself."
Natsumi stops walking on the stairs and looks back to him. She let her chin rest above both of her hands on a stairs railings. She replies to him like this :" I seriously know it."
He asks her like this :"Then tell me sis?"
She replies to his question like this :"It's because of Light."
He was surprised. She gets it right. He replies to her like this :"Wow!! My sis is so brilliant and intelligent." He continues his reply to her by asking her like this :"Is every human as intelligent as sis?"
She gets happy hearing him saying that she is brilliant and intelligent. It's been a long time since anybody told that to her. The last time she heard that from a teacher, a year ago. She felts a bit nostalgic
She replies to him like this :"Not every human. It's not like all humans are intelligent. Some of them could also be stupid. Well in my case I was one of the top student in the school."
He looks at her with curious eyes and asks her like this :"Does this mean that you are the most intelligent human???!!"
Looking at him she realizes that he is very curious and hoped that she really is the most intelligent human ever. But she isn't the most intelligent human. Even though it would disappoint him and hurt his feeling she tells the truth like this :"No I am not the most intelligent human. There are many more intelligent human there and some more intelligent than me."
He was disappointed. He makes a disappointed and sad expression and replies to her in sad tune like this :"I see."
She felts kind of guilty. She apologies to him like this :"I am sorry for not being the most intelligent."
He replies to her with sad tune like this :"No, It fine sis. It's my fault for hoping that. It's not like a person could become the most intelligent so easily."
She looks at him and realizes that saying didn't make his feeling get any better. She didn't know what to say to make him like himself again.
She thought to herself [I should have lied and just told him that I am the most intelligent human.]
She tries to change the subject. She asks him like this :"What are you staying there for? Won't you guide around this palace?"
He turns back into himself. The disappointed and sad expression from his face is gone. He replies to her like this :"Yes, sis!."
She thought to herself [I guess I didn't had to anything and just said this from the start]
He starts to walk into the stairs. While he was walking in the stairs and coming close to her step by step she was looking around the stairs. It was a U type staircase. She asks him like this :"How long do you think it would take us to see the entirety of huge palace?"
