A man ran to the table, upset. Apparently he was heading for them - straight for the mayor.
"Mayor, I have a message for you, but only for you."
The mayor looked at him in surprise and thanked him for the company. He said goodbye to Elbria and walked with the frightened young man to the building where he had his office. Elbria finished her drink and decided to go to the water. People were already bathing and playing various games on the beach. About three hundred meters from this place, the sea again threw a monster ashore. No one can figure out what it is. It looks like an elephant and a dolphin together. It is not uncommon, such monsters wash water to the shores around the world. There is talk of this on all channels, as well as the fact that they have not yet taken medicine for Orfa. Orpha is a disease that appeared in Europe more than a hundred years ago. It's a misfortune left here in Europe after… All scientists are researching, searching, but so far they haven't moved anywhere. Research funding is also lacking. Orphah has various manifestations. The most fundamental manifestation, however, is that a person begins to have skin as if translucent and visible all the muscles, the circulatory system… It is a horrible look at the victim. These people are immediately isolated and hospitalized in special wards. The worst part is that the man attacked by Orfa has never survived to this day. If it affects him, the end will come within three months. It is a plague that is destroying the whole continent. Even though they tied the victim to special bandages and did what they could, the skin fell apart anyway. She literally disappeared. Orphah is the terror of this world. That is why Europe lives in isolation, the people of Europe cannot leave its shores, because the whole world is afraid that the Orph will spread further. The whole of Europe has stopped shipping since the discovery of this plague.
This has been going on for over a hundred years. Schools are missing if current information on life outside Europe. In fact, children do not even know what the world outside Europe looks like after liek When a cure is found and this catastrophe stops, the borders open and trade and the whole world begin to resume. Although no one knows how people live in other countries and what those countries actually look like now. When Elbria returned home, she noticed a post office she hadn't paid any attention to before. She removed the envelope from the mailbox. She sat down on the couch and carefully opened the envelope. The big title was written in euros.
TRANSACTION CONFIRMATION. EUR 2 000 000 was credited and confirmed to the account.
At first, Elbria stared blankly at the paper until she realized what she was looking at. Where could so much money come from ?! That is not possible after all! Now he can turn his dreams into reality. He can open his own shop and design his own models. It's unbelievable, who made love to her ?! In the letter, the sender is marked as secret and as the donor of this amount. When Elbria worked for Tokyo as a designer, it was at a distance, through airmail, photos, documents… For Orfa, Tokyo will never really see it. Such is the world now. But now he can get a license and create his own models and sell them all over Europe. It has always been her dream. She sat down at the table and tried to survive the shock. Her life has changed today. She almost forgot about Gery. He can't wait to show up and be able to tell him the message he received today. Or not?!
The beach festivities started this morning. The most enticing part of these festivities is probably the construction of sand sculptures. Most people and especially children gathered in this section. A door slammed on Gery's floor. Elbria realized that Gery had returned. She was pleased and gave her some more time to at least unpack and relax. It was already afternoon, the sun was shining and it was really hot again. Elbria knocks on Gery's door. The door opens slowly. Elbria is all excited because she has been waiting impatiently for this moment.
"Hello, Gery, I'm so glad to see you and that you're okay. I've been thinking about you all the time so that something bad doesn't happen to you in Ersenet."
"Hello, Elbria, I'm glad I'm here too. The capital really isn't an attraction for me either. I equipped everything I needed and went back by night train. Come on, let's have a drink."
"Thanks for the invitation, but we have a party today, and I'd like us to go there together, you know you promised me that."
Gery smiled and poured some raspberries into two glasses.
"Of course I remember it and I always keep my promises, so let's go. I want to relax too. I'm curious to the sand sculptures and other events that will be there."
"So I suggest we go, "Elbria said, walking down her purse and some things to the beach. She turned and asked, "What is your full name now?"
Gery picked up one of the IDs from his ID and showed it to her. The card was named Gerhard Allandry.
"Then you have a very nice name, Gery. I'll wait for you down in front of the entrance."
Gery kept all the things he had with him all the time in Ersenet and went downstairs. His worshiper had been waiting for him there from the very beginning, since he had even appeared here. As they approached the crowd, which stood one area with sand after another, the mayor ran toward them with a cheerful face.
"Welcome, Gery, you're done and you've been to your store?"
"Yes, I have everything equipped. I haven't been to the store yet, I'm still on holiday today …"
The mayor had to exhale his anger as always, and after a while he began to explain:" I've been to your boss and suggested that he transfer you to me if you should. Interest."
Gery looked at the mayor blankly.
"To you? And what would I do with you? "
The mayor further explained: "I will inform you of the situation. The research team to find a cure for Orpha has decided to move the entire station to Loist to us, as they will need the sea. The station would be built on the coast just 20 minutes from Loist. Europe's attention will now be on our city. This research received a grant, or rather a financial donation of 25 million euros."
"So what would I do with you ?!"
The mayor picked up a small notebook and started a little. After a while, he said: "This research plans to employ a total of 17,000 people. This means that people from all over Europe will come to Loist and many of them may not even be able to control the euro as it should. You could work as an interpreter or rather as a news officer between me and this research. I really don't know where you came from here, but since you understand languages that have not been used here for more than 200 years and the Eureka still has enough opponents, it would be a job for you."
"All right, Mr. Mayor, I'll be here tomorrow. to work, and when this whole thing starts, let me know and I can join you."
The mayor was obviously pleased, shook Gery's hand, and returned to the beach among the people. Both were walking around sand sculptures that were already receiving their ratings. They were really diverse, no which were imitations of people, some looked like buildings standing in the city of Loist and some looked very strange. They were imitations of beings that sometimes washed out the sea. And they probably attracted the most, as they ran the most people. The frequent questions they asked were of this nature: "What is it?"
"Is it a fish or a crab?" but it's horrible, it looks like a monster from the worst dream.
They found this wonder half a year ago on a beach about 30 kilometers from Loist.
"People's reactions varied. Gery and Elbria stopped at a colorful water booth. They sat under a shelter and ordered green water. It was fresh water, something between kiwi and pineapple. Elbria looked into the distance and after a while began to say, "Imagine, I'm a little lucky now, and I decided to open a license and make and sell my own clothes. I will register my own brand. One of my life dreams is starting to come true. This morning I was wondering what I would call my brand and I came up with this. I will have the "Ely" brand. I could not otherwise connect the connections, as I am alone and it was not in fact, nothing to connect. So I chose it from my own name. I'm sending an application to Ersenet for my own brand and license tomorrow."
