Chereads / Orbisomn (Ealsomn Estnin Ase Nitua) / Chapter 28 - Chapter 23

Chapter 28 - Chapter 23

One day had passed but both Yui and Canum don't have a plan to go home yet. Yui wanted to stay in Friela's house because she can't pay her bills as of the moment, while Canum are just killing his time around Friela's house. Both of them are playing board game on one of her spare room.

Friela visited them and she saw how messy it is inside, "Can't you guys buy your own house already?" she asked Yui and Canum while they ruin every single arrangement in the room.

"I have my apartment, but it's better to stay here." Canum said.

"I agree. Now that I am also jobless, let me stay here for a while." Yui said and looked at Friela with her puppy eyes.

Friela sighed with disbelief, "Both of you are hopeless." She said and shut the door, then she saw Illia tiptoeing behind her.

"What are you doing?" Friela asked.

"Uhh, I am—" Illia stopped and tried to think of an excuse. "—going to the bathroom?" She asked.

"I can't believe you, guys. I don't have my own family to feed, and yet my money is almost gone. I even let my maids have a vacation just because of you people!" Friela put her palm on her forehead. She knew Illia's lying because there's a bathroom inside her room, "There's a fruit basket on the refrigerator." Friela stated.

Illia's face brighten up as she suddenly flew down from the third floor to the kitchen on first floor.

"Stop flying around the house!" Friela shouted, "My goodness, this is stressful!" She exclaimed and went on her room.

"Vaness, help me!" Friela shouted out of nowhere, "I wonder where is this girl already." she said and looked at her phone.

Friela was meditating when she suddenly heard a loud bang.

"What was that?!" She went out of her room to check what happened.

Friela saw her favorite vase that costs around three hundred thousand dollars shattered and broken into pieces. She was annoyed, and hurt, and annoyed again at the same time.

"Oh my, I am so so sorry Friela!" Canum kneel in front of Friela.

She was fuming mad, "I got that unique vase from a bidding, and it costs me three hundred thousand to have it! How dare you?!" Friela shouted.

"I am so sorry Friela, it's my fault." Yui defended Canum.

Illia tried to flew from the kitchen to third floor, but Friela caught her feet.

"Stop. Flying. Around. MY. HOUSE! Get back here!" Friela shouted and brush her hair with her fingers.

"You're stressing me guys! Please. You're not children anymore, and this is not your house! Every single display here is limited edition, even if you pay for your damage costs, I can't get a duplicate of them!" Friela tried her best to calm her mind.

"What's happening here? Why are these three kneeling down in front of you?" A sudden voice can be heard from a distant.

"Vaness?" Friela turned her head around, "My goodness! Vaness, help me! I'm so thankful that you're back!" Friela hugged Vaness as soon as she saw her.

Vaness laughed a bit, because Friela looked like a rug as of this moment.

"What the effin' hell happened to you?" Vaness chuckled in between her words.

"It's because of this three. They broke my favorite vase!" Friela cried in despair.

"I said I am sorry." Canum said as she elbowed Yui, "This is your fault!" Canum whispered at Yui.

"I am so sorry, Friela." Yui cried out.

Vaness sighed, "I was just gone for few days, and this is already what happened to you people?" Vaness looked around the house, "Why's every picture frames and decoration was out of place?" She asked.

"Illia's fault." Canum pointed Illia who's eating a bunch of grapes.

"Why me? I didn't do anything!" Illia said.

"Your wings create a lot of wind when you fly. So it's your fault." Canum said.

"You're mean." Illia's eyes became teary.

"Okay, okay. That's enough! You're not children anymore, guys." Vaness lectured them.

"You're really my savior, Vaness." Friela kneeled in front of Vaness and hugged her knees.

"Stop it, Friela." Vaness laughed and tried to get out of Friela's hug to sit on the couch.

"Clean that." Friela looked at Yui and Canum with her dagger eyes.

"Yes, master!" Canum said and quickly picked up a dustpan and broom.

"Be careful, moron!" Yui shouted at Canum.

"Where have you been, Vaness?" Illia, who's still eating a bunch of fruits asked Vaness.

"Is it just me, or you're always eating whenever I see you?" Vaness asked Illia.

"It's not just you. She's really always eating." Friela said.

"I agree!" Canum said.

"Me too!" Yui agreed.

"I love eating, what's wrong with that?" Illia asked.

"Well, nevermind." Vaness said and leaned her head on the couch.

"You looked tired and stressed out, what happened to you?" Friela asked.

"Well, yeah. My mother was busy with our company business from where we've been. It's actually tiring! I have to run an errand for her sponsorship with an entertainment company in the next city." Vaness explained.

"Entertainment company?" Friela asked.

"Yes. Actually it's the company where Lucy and Canum are working." She said.

Yui looked at Vaness, "So, the rumor is true?" She asked Vaness.

"Rumor about what?" Vaness asked.

"There's a rumor spreading around the entertainment where a certain company will invest three million dollars." Yui said.

"Oh, yes. That's true. My mother chose the entertainment where Lucy's working. I've been running around the city for hours, and it's totally tiring!" Vaness said.

"Wait, what?! Three million dollars?!" Canum suddenly butted in their conversation.

"Yes. What's wrong?" Vaness asked.

"What's wrong?" Canum sarcastically asked, "Just how rich are you, Vaness?" He added.

"It's not me. It's my mother. Well, she owns a lot of branches of companies and whatevers. Me and Lucy are just being spoiled brats." Vaness stole one orange fruit from Illia's fruit basket.

"Since you're tired, I'll let you have that." Illia said.

"Good. Thanks." Vaness peeled the orange fruit and ate it.

"Our entertainment company? Then I'm sure you've met the president of ours." Canum said.

"Yes. Mr. Frederick Musper, right?" Vaness asks for clarification.

"Yeah, that's his name." Yui agreed and looked at Illia. Even Friela and Canum looked at Illia.

"Why? What's wrong?" Vaness asked.

"Illia said that the president is not a human." Friela replied.

"What do you mean?" Vaness looked at Illia.

"Oh, the president? He exposed himself to me. He seemed to know me, but I don't know him. He's from my world, from Orbisomn." Illia explained.

"Is that even possible?" Vaness asked.

"I don't know how, and why." Illia played with the grape in her hands, "But I am certain that he's not a human. I am just not sure what and how strong his power is." she explained.

"The main question is, what is he doing here?" Canum asked.

"And how did he got here in our world?" Yui added.

"Maybe we can ask him? He maybe knew the reason, and how to get to Orbisomn. That means we can return Illia and we can get Lucy!" Friela said.

"No. Don't." Illia became serious, she suddenly crushed the grape that was in her hands, "I can sense that he's dangerous. He gave me a deadly aura, that's why yesterday I almost cast a magic." She explained.

"Do you really have to crush a grape, and let the juice of it drip on my carpet?" Friela sarcastically asked.

"Deadly aura?" Vaness was confused, "You were there yesterday? Why?" She asked.

"Oh, we haven't told you, yet. We had a meeting with him yesterday because I have to excuse Lucy from her tapings since we can't continue it right now." Yui explained.

"I see. That's why he told me he have to meet a very important person. But, who? Yui?" Vaness asked.

Yui shook her head, "I'm definitely not a 'very important person' to him. I am just an employee." she laughed a bit.

Vaness looked at Illia, so everyone looked at her as well.

"Why are you looking at me?" Illia asked.

"That's weird, it's like he knew you're coming?" Canum asked.

"Yeah it's weird. Shall we investigate him?" Friela asked.

"That's a hard thing to do." Yui said.

"Wait, wait, wait!" Illia stopped them, "You guys are full bunch of crazy. I don't know him, alright? We're not sure if I am the one he's referring to as 'very important person'." she added.

"Why? What do you mean investigating him is hard?" Vaness asked.

"Everyone of us have a right to change our name. We can use it to sign contracts, papers, and can even use it as a valid name to all of our files and documents. Everyone knew that the name Frederick Musper isn't really his real name. Investigating him means we have to find out his real name, right?" Canum said.

"It's not like we can ask his name directly from him." Yui added.

"If it's real that your president is not from this world, it'll also be hard to find some deep information on the internet." Friela said.

"When did he became a president?" Illia asked.

"I don't know. If I remember correctly, he was the president ever since." Yui said.

"Ever since?" Friela asked.

"Yes. Actually I've been an actor since I was eight, he's already the president that time." Canum replied.

"That's fourteen years. Maybe he's the president for more than that." Vaness said.

"Actually guys, it doesn't matter. If he wouldn't touch us or hurt us, there won't be a fight. I won't initiate anything that might cause war or fight here, because I am not in my own world." Illia said.

"What are we going to do, then? I really wanted to bring Lucy back here." Friela asked.

"As I've said yesterday. I wanted to go to the place where I've been as Lucy." Illia said.

"Places where you've been as Lucy? What do you mean?" Vaness asked.

"Oh yeah. You missed our conversation yesterday." Friela said.

"We talked to Lucy yesterday." Yui said.

"You what?!" Canum and Vaness asked, causing them to look at each other.

"Yeah. She suddenly called us using her phone." Friela said.

"And you didn't even told me that?" Canum asked.

"You were taking too long at the bathroom in that freaking gasoline station. It's not our fault." Yui said.

"So, what did she say? Where is she? Is she alright?" Vaness spouted a lot of questions.

"Yes. She will be alright there. Lucy's with my friends, she's in Orbisomn." Illia replied.

"So both of you really switch worlds instead of just consciousness." Canum said.

"But, why? What's the reason?" Vaness asked.

"I don't know. Neither Verus and Lucy nor us knew why." Illia looked at them, "But I decided to have a visit to those places where I've been when I'm on Lucy's body." she said.

"Why?" Canum asked.

"There might be clues somewhere. I might remember those places, and think of what happened between our switches." Illia explained.

"Does it needs to be in sequence?" Canum asked.

"Yes. I want to know if there's a trigger or sequence between the switches." Illia said.

"But—" Vaness suddenly looked at Friela, "—the first switch was from our country." she said.

"Yeah. You're right." Friela said.

"Your country?" Illia asked.

"Yes. Because of Lucy's condition, we migrated from our country to this country. We need to avoid Lucy from remembering any of her bad past and start a new life." Vaness explained.

"Where is that, then?" Illia asked.

"Philippines." Friela replied.
