After our long run from Donn, Frey and I managed to decrease his anger. Once he calmed down, I gave him the ice cream I had brought for him. He glared at me for a few seconds before taking the ice cream, unwrapping it, and starting to eat it on the bench. We joined him on the bench and began talking.
Frey asked, "Now what should we do?" Donn and I exchanged looks, pondering our options. While we were still thinking, Sela suddenly raised her voice with a happy smile, saying, "Now that we're all together, we should go and do some more shopping."
Sela's words struck like lightning, causing a momentary silence. After a few seconds, Frey was the first to break the silence, speaking hurriedly, "I heard the game center in this mall is very famous... let's go there."
"Huh? Wait?" he exclaimed, acting as if Sela hadn't said anything at all. The rest of us agreed with him and stood up, ignoring her remark.
"Yeah, why not? I've heard that the game center in this mall is one of the top advanced game centers," added Arjum, following Frey's lead. Sela tried to interject, asking about shopping, but Donn also agreed with the boys, and they started walking towards the mall building together.
Sela was taken aback by the sudden turn of events. She didn't get a chance to say anything, and they were already about to enter the gate. "Wait for me!" she exclaimed, standing up and hurriedly following the others. She called out loudly for them to wait, but they didn't slow down and continued walking.
After entering the game center, they were greeted by a grand hall filled with bustling people. Everyone was enjoying various types of games, including arcade, 3D, and VR games. The atmosphere was lively, and everyone seemed to be having a great time.
Arjum was a bit surprised by the scene and stood frozen in one place for a few seconds. He hadn't seen such an advanced game center in his previous world. "Okay, I will try that VR one!" Donn declared with excitement, walking towards a VR game. Arjum snapped out of his thoughts after hearing Donn's voice and followed him, just like the others.
They played various kinds of games in the game center. The first match was between Arjum and Frey in an arcade fighting game. They were evenly matched, but after a few minutes, Arjum won due to his previous gaming experience. The second match was between Sela and Donn, and initially, Donn had the advantage. However, Sela used a trick that distracted Donn, resulting in her victory. Arjum thought to himself, "That was quick!" while watching her play. Frey, who hadn't noticed the trick, announced Sela's victory.
They continued playing several more games, with Arjum and Sela winning most of the time. After spending a considerable amount of time in the game center, Arjum suggested, "It's late... let's go back." The others agreed, as they had to return to their dormitory before 8:30 pm, as it was compulsory. They made their way back to the dormitory.
When they arrived at the bus stop, the bus arrived shortly after. Everyone except Arjum entered the bus, looking confused as he remained standing. Frey questioned him from inside the bus, "What are you doing, Arjum? Come faster!" The bus driver also turned to look at Arjum and asked with an annoyed voice, "Aren't you coming in?"
Arjum glanced at Frey for a few seconds, then answered with a smiling face, "I have to go somewhere... I'll come a little late." He turned his attention to the driver and politely said, "You can go now." As the bus departed, Arjum watched it until it was out of sight. Another bus arrived a few minutes later, and he boarded that one.
After a 15-minute bus ride, Arjum found himself standing in front of the temple he had visited on his first day in this world. He gazed at the temple for a few seconds before entering through the gate. Walking in front of the temple building, he knocked on the door twice.
"Coming!" a woman's voice answered from inside. Arjun heard a few steps approaching, and then a lady opened the door. Arjum smiled at the person—it was the nun who had found him fainted when he received the will from the temple. The nun greeted him with a smile, looking quite happy. She was currently dressed in regular clothes, and her golden blonde hair, green eyes, and beautiful face added to her charm.
"Hello, Arjum. You've come a little late," she said to him, stepping aside to allow him to enterthe temple. Arjum stepped inside and looked around. The interior of the temple was serene and filled with a peaceful atmosphere. The nun closed the door behind them.
"I soory. I had an unexpectedly had to go somewhere." Arjum explained, feeling a sense of calmness wash over him.
Arjun apologized to her and he didn't tell her about the mall thing but she also didn't try to ask about the reason...arjun brushed his back hair and laughed awkwardly and she puffed her cheek out and looked at Arjun.
[ it's okay... Follow me ]
After he entered...she smiled and didn't complain to him and told him to follow her and both started to go somewhere in the temple building.
Arjun had been coming here frequently... He started coming here after he met with a nun and when he got the will.
Firstly... He didn't have much reason to come here but after finding out about the sword...he came here at least two days a week and spent some time here.
After they walked for few minutes...They opened one big door and found themselves in the big grand hall
Three idols are placed at the end of the hall... It was a pretty big hall and beautifully designed
Some children were visible praying in that hall toward idols
When one child was done praying... He opened his eyes and turned to Arjun's side... When he found him... He smiled and came toward him
When others were done...nun talked toward the children about Arjun's arrival happily... She was grateful toward Arjun because he sometimes came by and plays with the chidlren... Those children were orphanages and she had to take care of them.
But she always worries because those children didn't talk with outsiders and that always worries her.
[ everyone... Arjun is here ]
When they also found Arjun... They also ran toward him and Arjun greeted those children and everyone hugged him happily
* * *
After that... Arjun talked with the children for some time and when it was pretty late... Nun said children to go to sleep
[ okay... Now it's time to sleep ]
And after they are gone... Arjun and the nun were only left in the temple hall
[ I thought being tea ]
She said that to herself and told Arjun to wait... After waiting for some time the nun returned with tea and some biscuits with in her hand
And they talked for some time
[ did you find anything that I asked you about ]
Arjun asked her... She gulped some biscuit peaces that were in her mouth and she started talking
[ Arjun..I looked into what you asked about....but sorry... I could not find much ]
She looked quite sad and bowed at Arjun and apologized to him... Arjun on opposite looked quiet disappointed for some seconds and told her to stop bowing
[it's okay... I am happy that you looked into that and tried to help me ]
After that... they talked for some more time and after some time...Arjun decided to go back.
