It's dark, there's no light that shining the room at all. The only source of light was a big windows at the rear. Slowly, Orion gain his consciousness, woke up in the middle of foreign room. A big room that seems like he is inside a castle. With the interior that can't be seen clearly.
'Feels like deja vu,...' thought him.
Even when he's woke up in different place, he still remain calm. The first thing that he thought was how Latina doing right now. He seems very concerned about her and hope that he didn't make her worried.
'Hope I didn't make her worried,'
Suddenly, the big door opened. From the other side, a girl walked in slowly closed her distance towards Orion. He is silent, staring to the person who walked towards him. When the girl reaching the part that light from windows illuminate, showing the figure of a girl with white silver hair before him. With ease, he walked and say, "Excuse me, where am I?"
She's startled, as if she didn't expecting that question. With a movement that don't know what should she do, she asked back, "U-um, this is my castle."
"Ooh, so this is a castle,"
"No wonder this room is so big," said him.
"U-um, excuse me, can you tell me what you see me as?"
Orion titled his head.
"What do you mean?"
"U-um, what I looked like from your perspective?"
"A normal human?"
"....."
She's went silent, the answer itself not strange, but her expression said otherwise, as if it's something that unexpected. In an instant her expression turned into a calm and relax made Orion wondering. As if to confirming his answer, she asked again.
"N-not as big creature or,"
"A monster?" said her.
"Huh?"
"What are you even trying to say?"
"There's only a beautiful girl with silver and long hair, wearing a dress that matched her hair, cute enough to be called cute in front of me," said Orion.
Taken aback by the answer, she's covering her face with hands. But not long after that, she asking him to have a cup of tea together.
"Cough, I-I see, s-so, can you accompanying me and have some tea together?"
"Sure, why not,"
The two of them chatting together, spending their time indulged in a small talk inside chamber that Orion woke up. Time flies, and Orion feels like he need to go back.
"Ah, it seems we spent so much time talking,"
"I think it's time for me to excuse myself,"
When he stand up, the person in front of him panicked. She seems didn't want Orion to left yet.
"A-ah wait,"
"Can you here a bit longer, please?"
Looking at her, pleading for him to stay hit his soft spot. Because of that he seems reluctant to left.
"B-but, I need to inform my family, I'm sure she's worried,"
"D-don't worry!"
"Latina and I was an acquaintance, so it's FINE!" said her.
"W-well, If you said so,...."
And then they're chatting again, sometimes, the silver haired girl took out a card or something and then the two of them started playing.
"Ah, are you hungry?"
"Yes, I think my stomach started growling,"
"Perfect! I have a sweets right here,"
"I'm confident with the taste, here, take a bite!" said her.
By acting like that, she seems to acted like girls her age. Orion didn't know her circumstance but he decide to not asked, he planted the same principle when he met Latina for the first time. Because there's no way a normal person live inside a castle this big in the middle of nowhere. The scenery out the window just a huge plains that surrounded by high cliff. It's like the castle itself are inside a mountain, he can see a big moon showed at sky through the hole.
When he take a bite, he seems surprised.
"It's good," said him.
"Hehehe,"
Her face loosened, she make a big smile and said, "Right~ It's my hobby after all."
The time passed, Orion seems didn't know how long this conversation continue. At his head, he keep apologizing towards Latina.
On the other side, Latina who's waiting him alone inside the house become restless. It's been three days, usually Orion come back after two or three days, but Orion's well being still unknown until now.
"Orion, where are you...."
