In the bathroom, since earlier Ely was a little suspicious because she heard Aldi talking to someone. It must be a woman, thought Ely. Well, that must be it, that sweet voice was a woman's, she thought.
Then, Ely opened the bathroom door slightly, stuck her head out, and peered into the room. The little girl's face frowned, especially when she found Aldi's face, which was so real, that he was fascinated by the slender girl in front of him.
Slightly curious about what the two were doing, Ely stuck her head out, even more, sliding the bathroom door wider.
"And done," Angela said as she fiddled with the surface of the C-Pad in her hand. "Once your data is in the brains of this plane's master computer, you're officially part of us."
"Good to hear that," said Aldi. "Is there anything else you need, beautiful?"
"Yeah, but not from you," Angela said.
"Uhh, I see, huh?" Aldi nodded slightly with his hands folded to his chest. He smiled again as he looked at Angela's sweet face. "I thought maybe—well… you need something else from me. Who knows?"
Angela laughed softly, she knew exactly what Aldi meant. And she immediately guessed, "When was the last time you made love?"
"Hey, come on! This is awkward," Aldi chuckled while scratching his head even though it wasn't itchy. "During life on Earth before this, you see… I wouldn't be tempted to make love to those gangster prostitutes."
"Ah, I see…" Angela shook her head. "But, I'm sorry. You should probably try again, or at least seduce another girl."
"Oh, shit!" Aldi muttered, looking down languidly. "Looks like it took a lot of effort on this one for me."
Angela covered her mouth with one hand to hide her laughter.
"And you," Angela's gaze fell on Ely. "Why don't you just get out of the bathroom, and come to me, little miss?"
Ely was shocked, then said, "No way!"
The little girl still only showed part of her face in the gap in the bathroom door. Angela stifled a laugh, Aldi's and the little girl's nature seemed almost the same, she thought.
"What are you afraid of?"
"I'm naked," replied Ely with pursed lips and a sharp look at Aldi. "Do you think I'm crazy, walking around in front of others naked?"
"Okay, you have a good point," said Angela while glancing at Aldi.
"Do you have any need with me?" asked Ely.
"Unfortunately, yes," Angela held up the ten-inch C-Pad in her hand. "I need data about you, little miss. You understand, right?"
Ely looked at the device in Angela's hand. At least, Ely could guess what Angela meant. After all, Ely had seen Aldi do something repeatedly to the C-Pad earlier. But, again Ely pouted when she looked at Aldi.
Angela understood Ely's concern, then said to Aldi, "Hey, can you leave this room for us?"
Aldi looked at Angela, turned to Ely, then snorted loudly.
"Come on?" asked Angela. "Just a minute. Let us girls get some privacy."
"Alright, alright…"
Aldi came out of the room to give Angela time to retrieve data from Ely.
After the bedroom door closed again, Ely opened the bathroom door. Grabbed the towel that hanging on one of the bathroom walls, wrapped it around her body, and stepped outside toward Angela.
"Hey," said Angela with a slight bend, looking at Ely's face. "I'm Angela, you can just call me Ann. And you, what's your name, little miss?"
"Ely," the little girl replied with a smile. "Elysium."
"Aah," Angela smiled and straightened her back, fiddling with the C-Pad in hand. "You have a beautiful name."
"Thank you." Ely looked at Angela from head to toe, she was quite amazed by Angela's body shape. "You're so tall!"
Angela laughed softly in response to Ely's words. She rubbed the little girl's head which was still wet.
"Thank you, little miss," Angela said, handing Ely the C-Pad. "Now, help me with your data. Put one hand on the screen, one at a time."
As with Aldi before this, Ely also obeyed whatever Angela said. Scanning the fine lines of her palms, fingerprints, face, and both retinas.
To the point where Angela asked Ely to place a thumb on the particular circle on the right corner of the C-Pad, Angela said, "Hey, this is going to be a bit of a shock, I have to take your blood sample. Can you handle it?"
"Will it hurt?" Ellie frowned slightly.
Angela shook her head. "You know, like being bitten by a mosquito."
Ely smiled and nodded, she put the thumb of her right hand to the circle. The next second Ely was surprised because she felt a sting on her finger. It doesn't hurt too much, just a little surprising.
Just like what Aldi did before, the little girl put her thumb in her mouth—sucking the finger to stop the bleeding that is not that much.
"And… done," Angela rubbed Ely's head. "Thank you, little miss."
Ellie smiled and nodded.
"Hey," said Angela as she was about to walk towards the door. "Don't let any boy bully you, okay? Girls power, remember that!"
"Girls power," Ely smiled again.
Angela pressed the red button on the panel on the wall to the left of the door. The door hissed softly, moving openly in both directions. Angela stepped out of the room.
"See you later, Ely," said Angela, waving her hand.
Ely smiled broadly with a wave of her hand as well.
Aldi was still smiling, rubbing his head with one hand, his eyes fixed on Angela's figure. He was standing on one leg, leaning against the wall beside the door, rubbing his chin. The swing of Angela's buttock spoiled his gaze.
Aldi realized that another gaze was watching him at the same time. A gaze that felt as if it could strangle his neck. Aldi snorted again, he knew it. A gaze from Ely.
Half uninspired, Aldi went back into the room, and let Angela continue her work. Looks like that girl will come to the room where Cinnong and Naomi are, he thought.
"Why are you looking at me like that, huh?"
Again the door closed, and the panel on the left side glowed red again.
"You are so perverted!" Ellie sneered.
"Me?" Aldi bowed slightly, staring intently at the little girl. "Pervert?"
"Yeah," said Ely nonchalantly. "You are!"
