Gen then went towards the furniture room, and when he got there, he started to look at the furniture and picked up some to take to his room.
After he finished, he went towards the kitchen while thinking, 'They really didn't leave much good stuff behind.'
He then arrived at the kitchen but didn't see Raja and Lina there, and then thought, 'Where are they? Have they gone for a shower?'
Gen then went to the bathroom, looked in the men's room, but didn't see Raja there, and then thought, 'He's not here? Where did he go?'
Gen then left the bathroom and went towards the control room, but when he got to the meeting room he saw Raja and Lina in front of a table and thought, 'So this is where they were.' and then went towards them.
He then walked over to them and said, "You could have told me you were coming here after breakfast. I spent some time looking for you through the digger."
And Raja said, "Well, we didn't know we were going to be here. I planned on taking a shower, and I think Lina did too, but I told her about the games here, and she said she wanted to play one to see what they were like."
Gen looked at the table and realized that they were playing table tennis before he arrived, and then asked, "And how was the game? Who won?"
Lina then said, "Me obviously, hahaha."
And Raja said, "She won five games, and I won three."
Lina then said, "And he only won three because I had never played that game before. After I got the hang of it, it was a massacre, and it was even easy."
And Raja said, "Hey, it wasn't easy, I gave you a hard time in the end."
"That's right. When you started to use your essence to have six arms and return six balls, it really became more difficult. You even almost managed to score a point on me, hahaha. I liked this game, let's play it more often."
"Sure ... well, I'm going to take my shower now."
"Me too. Not that I'm sweaty, after all, I didn't have any challenges today, hahaha."
"... Count victory while you can."
Gen then said, "Easy there, you two."
And Lina said, "What's up, Gen?"
"I just got here. I want to play something too."
Raja then said, "Okay. What do you want to play?"
And Lina said, "How about table tennis, Gen?"
Gen then said, "No thanks. I want to play another game."
And Lina said, "Are you sure? I can play with my other hand if you want."
"You're ambidextrous, Lina ..."
"Oh yeah! I forgot that you know that."
Raja then said, "You're ambidextrous? Were you pretending to play badly with your left hand?"
And Lina said, "Don't get me wrong, it was just to give you a little hope."
"In that case, you could have let me win."
"Of course not. Are you crazy?"
Gen then said, "How about we play darts? This way, the three of us can play."
And Raja said, "Sure."
Lina then said, "How do you play darts?"
And Gen said, "It's easy. Let me get the board, and I'll teach you."
Gen then went to the storeroom and got the dartboard and some darts.
He then came back and said, "This is the board. It's very simple to play ..."
Gen then explained to Lina how to play, and she said, "There are quite a few rules for a game you called simple. In table tennis, you return the ball and don't let it hit your side of the table more than once."
Gen then said, "Indeed, darts have more rules, but it's a matter of habit. Let's play a little."
Gen then set up the board on a nearby wall and said, "Let me start by showing you how to throw it."
He then stood behind a line he had made and then threw the dart, causing it to hit the board. Gen then said, "Fourteen points. That's a good first throw."
Gen then threw twice more and then said, "Twenty-eight points. Let's make it a two-hundred-point game. Your turn, Lina."
Lina then went to where Gen was standing, took the darts from him, and prepared to throw.
Gen then said, " Lina, the secret to throwing darts is-", but was interrupted by her, who said, "I don't want any help, Gen. You've already explained the rules to me. You can leave the rest to me."
"All right. Good luck."
Lina then threw the dart, and it flew towards the board but missed it.
She then said, "Damn, this time I'm going to hit it.", and then she threw another dart, and it hit the board for three points. She then threw another dart to hit the two-point spot.
Gen then said, "Five points. That was good for your first time, Lina."
And Lina said, "I don't need you to feel sorry for me, Gen. It's a two hundred-point game, if you don't take me seriously, you'll regret it later."
"Hey Lina, I'm not feeling sorry for you, I'm just saying-", but was interrupted by Raja, who said, "No, Gen, it's like she said, we don't need to feel sorry for her."
Raja then went towards her, and Lina handed him the darts.
He then said, "Thank you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'll show you how to throw these for real."
And Lina said, "Oh yeah? Show me then."
Raja then stood behind the line, prepared himself, and then threw the dart. The dart flew towards the board and landed exactly in the middle of the board.
Raja then said, "See? That's how it's played."
And Lina said, "That was luck. I want to see you hit it again."
"Oh yeah? Take a good look then."
Raja then turned around, concentrated a little bit, and threw another dart. The dart took the same path as the previous one and then hit the middle right next to the first dart.
Raja then said, "What about now, Lina? Was it luck, too?"
"Maybe ..."
"Well, it's hard to happen, but it really could have been luck. Oh, I know! What if I hit it while looking at you?"
"Hahaha, you're very cocky Raja. Okay, if you hit it while looking at me, I'll consider it your skill, and of course, when I say hit it, I mean the middle."
"Yes, that's also what I was talking about."
"Good. Well, good luck, Raja. You'll need it.", and Lina thought, 'Not even with luck will you hit the middle again. There are already two darts there. There's no room for any more. You may be good at throwing darts, Raja, but you lost this fight when you let it go to your head, hahaha.'
Raja then said, "Lina, after this throw, you will understand-" and then he threw the dart while looking at her. The dart again hit the middle of the target, and then he continued, "That it was never luck."
Lina looked at that and said, "How is that possible?! There was no more room for any dart in the middle of the board!"
And Gen said, "Wow, that's true, Raja. I didn't know you could play darts so well."
Raja then said, "Hahaha, nothing is impossible for me! And to answer your question, Gen, it's obvious that someone like me, who one day will have passed through every bar there is in the world, is going to be an expert at darts."
And Gen said, "That's true. It really makes sense."
Raja then said, "What do you think Lina? Isn't it impressive how good I am?"
And Lina said, "... Very impressive ..."
Gen then said, "Okay, my turn now."
He then took the darts from Raja, threw them, and said, "Here, Lina, your turn."
Lina took the darts, focused on the target, and then threw them.
Gen then said, "Wow, Lina, nice shot. For a beginner, you're pretty good at this game."
And Raja said, "That's true. Who knows, if you play a few more times, you might be able to score half as many points as I do with my eyes closed, hahaha."
Lina then said, "Wait for me, Raja. I will make you pay for your words!"
And Raja said, "Try as you please. It took years for me to get to the point where I am. So even if you learn fast, it still won't be enough to overcome me, hahaha."
Lina then said, "That's what we'll see! I quit this match.", and then left the room.
Raja then said, "Ah! How nice to come out on top of her for once."
And Gen said, "I know how it is, but I can tell you from experience, you'd rather be on the bottom though. Now, you won't get any rest."
Raja then looked startled at Gen and said, "Gen, did you hear what you just said?"
And Gen said, "Yes, is there a problem ... no! That's not what I meant!"
"I know, calm down."
"Phew, I'm glad Lina wasn't here to hear that. I don't even like to think what that would cause."
"Well, you'd probably get into an argument, which in your case includes hooking up and kissing. So I don't see why it would be bad."
"Raja, don't joke about it, please."
"Hahaha, don't worry, Gen, your secret is well kept with me."
"... Well, I don't really have a choice."
"You really don't. Well, I'm going to take a shower."
"Hmm, I think I'll take a shower too."
"Let's go then."
The two then left the room and headed towards the bathroom.
...
Two days passed, and Gen was in his bed sleeping when suddenly everything started shaking, and he woke up and fell out of bed.
He then got up and said, "Ouch! My head! What the hell was that?", and then he heard Dehji say, 'The digger has stopped. It looks like we've arrived in Tólis.'
Gen then said, "Finally!"
