Chapter 17 - Ch 17: Hidden Place

When Anon catch a glimpse of what beyond the wooden door he was mesmerized and stunned. While not wasting time he have already forgotten the Sign Warning and just marched in like a Lion, full of bravery and conviction.

Because what invites him in was another unexpected scenery, just like how he uncovered the previous Seaside near the mansion,this one also gripped her heart firmly, because unlike his uncultured side, he also have a beautiful cultured dream, and whats more it's in front of him,

"A gardens of flowers!!!"

He exclaimed in happiness and excitement, throwing his way in the beautiful Scenery of myriad colours, some of the flowers he recognize such as rose, tulips, lavender but some plant also new and beautiful yet exquisite in looks. Touching and sniffing every fragrance that he could master, he feels likes he is transformed into a bee that wants to gather and harvest nectar or honey from those flowers.

This reminds him of place that he wanted to visit back in earth, because he enjoy natures and especially those that have myriad of natural colours, while he ponder with attachement on his memory,

'hmmm, which one is it Miracle Garden, that's not quite right'

'Ashikaga Flower Park, although almost there though'

'Ah, it's keukenhoff, Lisse huh, this one much similar to it'

Considering that there's a lot of tulip flowers compared to other flowers, he finally give his own verdict and making a slight comparison,

'i thinks this is a mini version of that place' he says while nodding,

With that he just sat down and wanted to relax and immersed himself in the beautiful scene. Moments later, he just lay down on all four, close his eyes and accept the embrace of mother nature, he finally feels a spike of happiness today, and he kept pondering,

'what a beautiful turns of events'

'not only I could be one with nature but this humming and rhythm of angels singing is like a blessing to my ear'

"~Hmmm~hmm~hmmmm~hm~mmmm~hmmm~"

'ah another one, continue tenshi san~'

"~Mmm~hmmm~hmm~hmmm~mmm~hmm~"

'Ahh...more...mo..'

Then he halted his words, as he feels something isn't in the right place. And noticing the peculiarity of such situations, he just wake up, while both of his eyes open wide as if its been gouged by the air,

'hell, nah who the heck is this???'

'i need to go away, I clearly ignored those signs!!'

But seems like he is too late as the humming is already turns off, while he could feel a slow but stable motion coming towards him. This is all because of himself, as the moments he noticed everything peculiar he just abruptly stand up,

With his backs turns away, the person just greeted him,

"Why are you here?"

Hearing those voices makes his heart rapidly flutter in a bad sense, because he recognize this voices because it gave him a slight trauma the day before, then slowly he just turns around and met and eye to eye to the person, while he just give him a big smile,

"Ah...Adelia you are here"

But the girl just straight up give him a menacing looks, and reply

"What do you mean I am here, that question should be to you right"

Giving her a wry smile, he just added some words to her in order to pacify those glaring eyes,

"Ummm, there's nothing wrong with me being here right, afterall this Is all the crimson Mansion property right sis?"

Hearing those words made her srunched up her faces and glare him more as if wanting to eat him alive,

"This is my own property and no one should say it's all the Crimson property, that signs outside was literally saying it all" she is being fired up as if Anon just killed her moods,

Knowing that no words can refute her words, Anon just want to back up immediately and want to go back, and he needs to sees his beloved maid soon because all of this happens to him because of her lie,

'did Marie just lie to me, tchhh..I'll teach her some lesson soon'

He thought, while now he wants to settle his problems right away with his next words,

"Ahhh...my mistake Adelia...seems like I have really trespassed this time, I apologized sincerely" he clasped both of his hands while backing away,

With that Anon just turns his back once again, and immediately hasten his speeds towards the garden entrance,

'what a roll of a dice, never thought that I will encounter a monster in angel disguise today, so unfortunate'

He thoughts, while the system just correct him up,

[SystemV2: you shouldn't say that to your own sister host]

But Anon just doesn't seems to care, as he walks slowly but with a big pacing, just when he was about to arrive in the finishing line, a words from Adelia just halt his whole movements,

"Come back here at this instance!"

And just like that he just turn around again with a wry smile, coming towards Adelia with his heads in a bit jumbling as he have been turning around and around for a while,

'what again this time?'

Now facing her, but in a rather safe distance, he just awaits for her verdict,

"Why are you standing that far, come closer!"

And it leaves him no choice as he have to stand near her even more, and he feels like his HP is tingling even without any dangerous movement from her,

"How did you stumble open this place?" Adelia asked him with a skewed eyebrow,

While being question, he just keeps his honesty as right now he don't want to bother in bluffing such powerhouse in retaliation towards yesterday's event,

"I just walk around and around, and stumble upon this place, that's all" he explained while giving a spiraling hand gesture,

With that words, Adelia just start to looks at him more seriously and scrutinized his whole body as if he is bare naked,

But feeling his sincere words, Adelia just heaved a sigh and beckoned him to follow her, while saying a few things to him along the way,

"You have trespassed my place and you need to be punished for that, so you have to help with something,"

'what are you, a policeman, I don't even steal your flowers girl' his inside thoughts just mumble,

"Right...okay" he just comply soundly

And moments later both of them arrived at a nearby well, and without wasting time Adelia just pointed out the water sprinkler nearby indicating his next action, and as if understanding, he just grabbed those out, filling it with water and ask her,

"From where to where?"

"Whole place, starts from those blue tulips area"

With that being said, Anon just nodded in affirmation and started his work as a honourable gardener, at least he could enjoy the beautiful view for free, for now. While he just thought of something while sprinkling the water all over the place,

'why did I have to this kind of things, isn't there any water magic that you could hurled in the air and splash all over the place efficiently'

[SystemV2: information, in this world all people are most likely or genetically born with mono elements, so in case of crimson family they only inherit fire magic]

Hearing this new info just made Anon nodded his heads in understanding, while he forward his next questions,

'what about tools that helps produce water, can't we have those?'

[SystemV2: Although those things exist, compared to pure magic it's hardly efficient, and sometimes it malfunctioned and caused mishaps host]

'what are the engineer of these world doing man?' he complained,

[SystemV2: People in this world rarely pursue the progression of magic that contributes to improving lifestyle but rather magic that helps in improving their power]

'hmmm, that's totally different sets of world building, well a simple words would be they are rather valuing talents more than technology right?'

[SystemV2: yes host, as expected of earth brained]

Anon : ...

With slight information transfering between them, Anon just then continued to do his works dutifully, while the so called angel just humming here and there while making a bit of her gardening moves,

A few minutes later he finally finished watering all the area, sweats and dirts are now all over his face, and he feels weird as he doesn't even roll around on the ground like a pig, but ignoring that he just sit at a nearby shaded area and rest his body, while Adelia just came up to him few moments later, watching him from head to toe,

"Finish it all?" She asked

While Anon just nodded in affirmation, with a slight short of breath, Then looking at Adelia faces that still white and flawless without any blemishes, made him question,

'how the heck does she maintained those cleanliness while gardening?'

'it made me looks like an amateurs in gardening as I've been doing this since 5 years old, that's ridiculous'

[SystemV2:....]

While standing and huffing a few breath, Adelia just took her seat on his right side while a pouch of water suddenly appear on her hands, which made Anon shocked again,

'a space magic?, I thought you said everyone only have mono elements'

[SystemV2: Well host, space magic are not considered inherited elements but rather an innate skill that everyone have, although a person could only store 2-5 items at maximum with considerable amount of dimensions allowed]

Hearing those information made him feeling a lost once again and asked,

'how come I don't have that skills on my innate skill?'

[SystemV2: This is because the original Anon body was not viable to learn such magic as he lacks the mana quality, all he have are the bare minimum of utilizing elementary fire magic]

Before Anon could complain, the system just add another information so he could be satisfied,

[SystemV2: The host don't need to worry as the system also have those space magic skills, but even better with no limits and minimum capacity]

[Host could even store an elephant inside]

'hmmm, that assuring but why did I need to store elephant inside of my storage' he denied the system potentials,but with that conversed, he just shrugged the system off once again while staring at Adelia that is gracefully drinking from the water pouch,

Seeing that puppy stare, Adelia just stop drinking and asked him,

"What? Do you need water too?"

'Of course I need water girl, I've been working for you for almost an hour, at least give me some hospitality and compassion' he thought annoyingly,

"Hahaha, of course I need, need to replenish those water that I lost" he says while smiling with sweats all over,

Adelia just nodded and say,

"Alright I give you some,

As Adelia was about to conjure another pouch of water from her space, Anon just give him an thumbs up gesture and immediately grab her water pouch and start drinking eagerily, not knowing that his actions made the other side shocked and gaped her mouth, while she just started to blush furiously with red colour,

And the person just emptied the water pouch with his gulping, and a second later nonchalantly give her back the water pouch, while he just relax and yawn a bit, while Adelia was trying hard to not show her blushes and turn her head away slightly,

[SystemV2: Wow host that was another bold 3star rizz moves] the system implied,

'what are you talking about?' he asked while being ignorant with one of his eyebrow skewed,

[SystemV2: you just robbed you sister of her innocence, look at her blushing ]

Hearing that, he just look into her sister and noticed that she is blushing furiously while averting her gaze, and he is still confused,

'what did I do wrong this time'

[SystemV2: you just made a rather vigorous indirect kiss host, seeing you sucking those mouthpiece of those water pouch as if you are a drying globfish, that sures arises such scene]

'what, it's just a drinking act, and this comes from a girl that doesn't even flinch when showing her naked body in full commando?'

'thats totally absurd and makes the character a bit unstable!?'

Then he just sighed and pretend nothing happen, while Adelia also calm down seeing that Anon doesn't really care, both of them remained silent until Anon asked her a question,

"hey Adelia, Aren't you and Agnes should be going to the capital today, for the Annual Noble Conference"

With such questions forwarded, Adelia just straightforward explained the whole situations to him,

"Yeah, we are supposed to go today, but Agnes decided to postponed for today as the carriage needed to fix as it have some problem with it"

"Probably we are going out tomorrow morning" she explained further while staring at the empty space,

"Ah, I see" Anon acknowledge the answer while staring at her in approval, while staring at her he noticed that, Adelia was in full dress today manifesting her noble aura,

With light Purple sundresses that compliment her medium cut hair that is shaped in buns style, it just emanated a whole new aura from her, as if those atrocious act that she do the previous day dissapear, She is more ladylike and appear more noble than usual, Anon just approved of that but still he remember that a rose have its thorn, and he don't dare to compliments nonchalantly, in which he just added a new question,

"So you kept a garden here huh?, that is something new"

Hearing those words made her a bit dissatisfied while uttering her words to him,

"What? I can't keep a garden of a flower, ? You say"

Knowing that the words he speaks may make her misunderstood, he just upfront tried to correct It ASAP,

"Owh, I don't mean that, today I just sort of know that you love keeping flowers" he said sincerely, while he being reminded of someone,

'why these days, this memory keeps coming back' he thought in sad tones,

He then proceed to tell her his honest feelings, as if things don't really matter that much,

"I thinks it's a good hobby to keep these flowers, and I thinks it's suit you quite well"

He said sincerely with solemn looks, in the end he just don't feel like continuing to explore or even engage in conversation with Adel anymore because of some past memories that suddenly appear,

"Seems like works are done, then I'll go off..."

With that being said he just stand up and not bothering to explain anything as he suddenly doesn't feel quite right, just today alone he kept being reminded of his past memories, not as the handsome Anon but just the plain Ken.

Moments later, he just leave Adelia garden slowly, leaving Adelia stunned and confused for a while, while Adelia just thought that Anon just not being himself for that couple seconds,

'whats up with him?'

'Does he kept revenge for yesterday's act? or did I ruin his moods?'

She questioned herself, but seconds she just shrugged it off and thinks in a positive side,

'maybe he is just tired, I see him yawn for a while ago' she thoughts while also taking off from her seat going somewhere else,
