"Damn you!" Aldi smirked and shook his head. "There's no point in talking to you, you annoying little brat! And now, excuse me," he walked towards the bathroom. "It's my turn to have fun," Aldi deliberately changed the style and sound of his laughter.
For Ely, Aldi's laughter sounded very sickening. "Disgusting!" Ellie snorted. "Just go and take a shower, you smell like shrimp paste, and don't do anything weird in there!"
"Hey-hey-hey!" Aldi turned around and looked at Ely with a raised eyebrow, and two hands on his waist. "Don't talk recklessly!" however, Aldi tried to smell his body odor.
Aldi's brows furrowed because he hadn't bathed in a long time, and of course, Ely, who had just finished bathing with a clean body, could smell the difference in their body odor.
And yes, Ely laughed in response to Aldi's frowning brow with a sullen face.
Aldi cleared his throat. "And don't pretend to know what am I going to do!"
"Of course I know," Ely was still struggling to stop her laughter.
"Oh, whatever!" Aldi turned around and continued his steps towards the bathroom.
"The habit of single men like you," Ely's laughter grew louder and that made Aldi even more annoyed. "It always takes a long time in the bathroom. You guys must be doing something there. Masturbation, maybe?"
Aldi widened his eyes at Ely's words. "You annoying little girl!" he snorted. "What do you know about men's habits, huh?" He stepped into the bathroom but still left the door open. "And you need to know, I'm not single."
"Oh, really?" Ely sneered and laughed again. "Then where is your lover, hmm?"
"Shut up, you talkative!" Aldi slid the door and when the door left a gap as wide as his face, he said again, "Soon, I will get a girlfriend. You will see!"
"Dream as you want," laughed Ely, and the bathroom door closed tightly. "What a weirdo!"
"Damn little girl!" Aldi muttered as he took off his clothes.
Ely continued her activities, however, after not taking a bath for weeks—since from Earth—this time, the little girl felt refreshed. She was clean, and there was a little aromatherapy left from the soap she had used earlier.
Different from the arrangement of the rooms used by Yuma and Boris, the room that Ely and Aldi's share has a bunk bed on the left side of the wall. At the end of the bed, there are several large drawers, arranged in one tall cabinet.
Ely pulled out the bottom drawer. Previously, Ely had known the towel was in the drawer because she had checked and brought one to the bathroom. Ely reached for another towel. Use the towel to dry her hair. She pulled out the second drawer and found clothes that were also all white. Ely grabbed a piece of clothing and spread it out to find out the size of the clothes.
She shook her head with a slight frown, the clothes were a little bigger than her emaciated body. She opened the third drawer, where Ely found similar white clothes but in an even bigger size.
In the fourth drawer, Ely didn't even find clothes the size of her body. It seemed each tier of drawers in this cabinet grew by one size up to the fifth drawer above which Ely could no longer reach.
Half unenthusiastically Ely finally chose clothes in the second drawer, even though the size of the clothes was slightly larger than her size, it was much better than wearing clothes in the other drawer, or not getting dressed at all.
All clothes are the same shape and pattern. A kind of shirt with a low neck cut, and training pants. There are two types, one is a long-sleeved shirt and long training pants, and the other is a short-sleeved shirt and short training pants.
Ely chose to wear a long-sleeved shirt and long training pants. After all, the temperature inside this spaceship was too cold for her. Well, it's possible that what Ely is feeling is because she's been living as a vagabond while she was still on Earth. Roofed by the sky, with bare ground, without any walls that have a room temperature control system like the daily life of the elites and nobles of the Federation. Ely only could feel the heat.
But now everything seems to have changed 180 degrees. Ely smiled as she spread the clothes in her hands, then buried her face in the soft and fragrant clothes.
Ely heard humming voices from inside the bathroom. It seems that Aldi is engrossed in his fun playing with water while.
Because Aldi is now in the bathroom, and it looks like he will be a while in there, Ely hastily removed the towel that was wrapped on her. The naked little girl's body was really thin, even the arrangement of her ribs stood out on either side. The intense hunger while on Earth had tormented Ely's frail body.
After wearing all her clothes, Ely chose to sit on the edge of the bed. One towel covered her wet hair, the other she used to cover her body.
On the wall of the left side of the room, Ely saw a kind of square symmetrical lines, quite wide and long. But, of course, the little girl doesn't understand all that. Then, her gaze fell on the large, flat screen on the same wall. Located on symmetrical lines, one and a half meters from the floor surface. As before, Ely didn't even know how to operate the thirty-two-inch screen.
Feeling bored and tired, Ely just laid back on the bed. The little girl looked down at the bottom of the bed above her, her eyes seemed to be shining lights that projected the memories from her head. The figure of her beautiful mother, her sweet smile. Then there is the figure of her father, who looks dashing. The joy that Ely went through with her parents one time ago, everything seemed to be replayed.
"Mom… Dad…" Ely whispered, her eyes had been filled with warm tears, though they didn't roll down her cheeks.
Then, there was the sound of the door opening. Ely glanced at the bathroom door, and hurriedly wiped her wet eyes. That's true, the door was slightly ajar, and Aldi stuck his head in there.
"Hey!" Aldi called out to Ely.
"What?" asked Ely, looking back at the couch above her.
"I forgot to bring a towel," said Aldi, then he put a big smile on his face. "Could you get me a towel, please?"
Ely got up lazily, staggering like a zombie, Ely limping towards the drawer in the cabinet at the end of the bed.
Aldi frowned watching Ely's steps.
Ely pulled out the bottom drawer, grabbed an unused towel, closed the drawer again, and then tossed the towel to Aldi.
The towel hit Aldi's face, luckily the man caught it before the towel fell to the floor.
"What else happened to you, huh?" Aldi snorted. "You are really a weird little girl!"
"Oh, shut up!" Elly threw herself back on the bed. "Noisy!"
