Chereads / Crux and Quantum Dimension / Chapter 10 - The Small Talk

Chapter 10 - The Small Talk

Morning, Saturday, 8:45 AM.

Exactly one day after they were thrown into the quantum dimension from the roof of Shima Hospital through a black hole created by a bomb explosion that was large enough to destroy 1 country, and could even make the climate on half the earth abnormal.

They might find a clue that might make them not the only people from their original dimension who were thrown into this quantum dimension after hearing a story from Elizabeth Gale whom they used to call Lizzie.

The story of a restaurant employee who suddenly disappeared and returned 3 days later after bringing a pregnant woman who suddenly appeared near the restaurant where he worked.

They think maybe the pregnant woman is just like them who was suddenly thrown into this quantum dimension.

The pregnant woman might be Yuki's mother who was at Shima Hospital at the time.

They didn't know for sure the real answer.

So they decided to look for the pregnant woman today.

They waited for Lizzie's father's skyscape or what they knew as Professor David Gale to arrive at the villa where they lived for a while.

They plan to look for a pregnant woman who is thought to be Yuki's mother at a hospital near Lizzie's mother's restaurant with the help of skyscape.

"What time does the professor usually get here?" asked Yuki, who was pacing in front of the villa gate.

"Usually we always go together when we want to take a vacation to the villa. it's just that this time my father is very busy," replied Lizzie who was near Yuki, Crux, and Jun.

"What time do you usually arrive?" asked Crux to Lizzie about the Gale family's habit of arriving at the villa.

"Since we're on vacation, we usually don't go straight to the villa. I think now, it's just like that too. they must have shopped for groceries first and bought a new released movie to watch together." Lizzie replied while remembering what they used to do together while on vacation at the villa.

"Ohh, of course. this is the family vacation, Crux. It's not a mission to save the world. of course, they will relax after their busy schedule lately." said Jun who had heard Lizzie's thoughts.

"Sorry, earlier I contacted my father just to ask permission to use his skyscape for today. I didn't say that we wanted to go to find out about the possibility of your mother who might be thrown into this dimension too," said Lizzie apologetically.

"It's not your fault Lizzie. it's just that we are too impatient to find out the truth," said Jun while turning around and entering the villa.

"What Jun said has a point, Yuki, maybe we disturbed their family vacation. we have to be more patient because we are just hitchhiking here," said Crux trying to calm Yuki.

"I totally understand how badly you want to see your mom. but you also have to know that this is not our world Yuki. we should be a little patient and wait for the professor inside. You haven't even had breakfast yet right?". said Crux to Yuki who was eager to meet the pregnant woman who was presumed to be her mother.

"Alright Crux, this time you cook for me huh?" said Yuki asking Crux to make her breakfast.

"Are you sure you want to eat my cooking?" asked Crux to Yuki.

"Hmm just cook instant noodles for me," said Yuki a little doubt about Crux's cooking.

"Alright, let's go in." invited Crux while walking into the villa.

"I'm sorry Lizzie for bothering your family," said Yuki apologizing to Lizzie.

"No, really, I'm very happy that this vacation is finally not just the three of us," said Lizzie.

"Let's just go in and wait inside. You should also eat before the long trip later." continued Lizzie while smiling at Yuki.

"Thank you for your concern Lizzie," said Yuki walking into the villa.

While in the villa, Crux cooked instant noodles for Yuki accompanied by Lizzie who supervised the kitchen utensils that Crux used to cook.

Meanwhile, Yuki waited for Crux's cooking by sitting at the bar with her soda.

And Jun went back to sleep in his room.

They waited at the villa talking about each other.

They chatted at the bar after Yuki finished her meal.

"How was my cooking? I cooked it with all of my heart." Crux asked Yuki.

"Hmm, to be honest, it tasted like instant noodles cooked in a hot bath," Yuki said laughing slightly.

"And you finished it with a bowl with clearly nothing," said Crux a little annoyed.

"Hahaha I'm just kidding Crux," said Yuki while laughing.

"Honestly, it tastes like instant noodles in general. It's just that it's made by you." Yuki continued with a smile.

"So, the point is?" Crux became very curious about Yuki's opinion about her cooking.

"The point is it's just a noodle Crux. if you want to be judged more, make it with a little more effort," said Yuki smoothly.

"Nooo Yuki. I cooked it wholeheartedly. that's the best effort ever." said Crux confidently that his cooking was delicious.

"Stop Crux, you almost make me cry," said Yuki with a laugh.

Lizzie noticed the proximity between Crux and Yuki who looked like siblings to her.

Lizzie was a little jealous of their closeness.

Lizzie is Professor Gale's only child.

She always feels alone when her parents are not around.

She also always wanted to have a sister.

She wanted someone who was always close to her.

"Are you two always this cute at your place?" Lizzie asked with a smile at their cuteness.

"Not with me, but Crux is a little weird," Yuki replied with a slight laugh.

"Weird is the worst word that comes out of your mouth Yuki," Crux said laughing a little too.

"You know what? You guys are like brother and sister who always argue about which one better between you. it's so adorable." said Lizzie who was anxious to see the two of them.

Hearing Lizzie who was anxious when she saw the two of them, Crux twisted the S logo under Yuki's neck nosily triggering his helmet to activate.

"This is what adorable is," said Crux, who ran into the room laughing.

"Crux!!! Wait for me!!!" said Yuki yelling and annoyed by Crux's actions.

"It turns out that Crux is really a funny person," said Lizzie holding back her laughter.

"That's annoying for me, 'AI, deactivate the helmet'," said Yuki while deactivating her helmet.

"In your place, are you always together?" asked Lizzie to Yuki.

"Not always, but we often study together because only Jun and I who understand Crux," Yuki replied.

"Who understands Crux? Like his habits?" Lizzie asked again.

"Ahh, it's not like that. Crux comes from a different country and language than mine. And what just happens is, that only me and Jun who understand what he asks about when he's confused with his lessons." Yuki replied explaining the difference between them.

"Ohh so in your place, every country has a different language?" asked Lizzie curiously.

"That's right, there are only a few countries that have the same language," said Yuki explaining about language.

"Then what's the difference like?" asked Lizzie who was getting curious about where Yuki came from.

"In my country, we usually say good morning by saying 'ohayou gozaimasu'," said Yuki in her Japanese tone.

"Wow, that sounds very friendly," said Lizzie who was happy to hear it.

"We call it Japanese, which means Japan language," said Yuki explaining the language she had just used.

"Then, it must be difficult to go to another country and order food if the language is different," said Lizzie expressing her opinion.

"That's right. therefore, in our place, English is the unifying language of every country. and I studied English since childhood to be able to communicate with people from other countries." said Yuki explaining how she communicates with people from other countries.

"Here, the language in each area is the same. is the language we use is English in your place?" asked Lizzie.

"Right, Lizzie. Is it not here?" Yuki asked back.

"I don't know the name of the language we speak and I even found out now," said Lizzie.

"Ohh so your ancestors here were English-speaking people," Yuki concluded.

"According to our history book, people started communicating by speaking thousands of years ago. before that, people here only used hands or body movements to communicate with each other." Lizzie explained about the history she learned in the quantum dimension.

"Ohh it makes sense with what the professor told us," said Yuki.

"By the way, what do you study at your place?". asked Lizzie.

"The three of us are both studying physics. What about you?" replied Yuki as she asked Lizzie again.

"Ohh I study Service Pleasure," replied Lizzie.

"Ahh, so that's the reason why you often help out at your mom's restaurant," said Yuki who just found out that there was a course on service pleasure.

"Yes. it must be difficult to be a restaurant waiter at your place to serve people speaking other languages hahaha," said Lizzie with a laugh.

"That's right Lizzie," said Yuki who also laughed.

Hours later, The AI in Lizzie's villa detected someone coming and entered the villa.

After Lizzie saw on the TV screen, it turned out to be her father and mother with Willy.

They had arrived at the villa and parked their skyscape in the villa courtyard.

Yuki rushed to Crux and Jun's room to tell them that the professor had arrived at the villa with Willy and Lizzie's mother.

Then Crux, Yuki, and Jun immediately came down from the room to meet them.

When the professor opened the door, Lizzie was already in front of him and hugged the professor and his wife.

Crux, Yuki, and Jun immediately approached the professor and got acquainted with Yuki's mother.

"Good afternoon professor, thank you for everything you do," said Crux while shaking hands with the professor followed by Yuki and Jun.

"Ahh, it's not a big deal. Is Lizzie good with you guys?" asked the professor with a laugh.

"No professor, Lizzie is too good with us," replied Jun in a joking tone.

"Good then. this is my wife and Lizzie's mother." said Professor Gale introducing his wife.

"Hello, my name is Maria Gale." Lizzie's mother introduced herself.
