Chapter 33
After their dinner, while cleaning up the dishes. Arsur made an announcement, which Setsu didn’t expect.
“Tomorrow morning, we’ll be moving out.”
"Eh?" Setsu gave a surprised look. "M-Matte, what do you mean, we're moving out?" she asked worried.
“Well not like we’re moving, but leaving. Actually, I had business somewhere and just stopped by my place, here, to look at the condition of the house. But before I arrived I found you… that’s why I had to prioritize you first. After all, who would leave a lone girl out in the middle of nowhere?”
Hearing his explanation, Setsu suddenly felt guilty about her causing trouble for Arsur. Yet, Arsur wasn’t troubled at all, as if his business with someone wasn’t a trivial matter.
Setsu didn’t notice his expression because of the guilt she felt. She bowed her head deep in apology.
“Gomen ne! Because of me…” Setsu didn’t finish her sentence because Arsur placed his hand on her shoulder.
“Don’t worry about it. It’s nothing serious you know. I could also use this chance to bring you to see the world. So I suggest that you rest up, tomorrow is a long journey” He said with a smile.
Setsu remained upset over the matter, but Arsur’s expression lowered her fury. She followed his advice and went back to the room she slept in.
After Setsu left, Arsur brewed coffee and went to his study, somewhere in the house, to make a phone call.
“…. Hel—” Before he could say his greetings, he was interrupted by a loud angry voice over the phone.
{WHERE THE HELL—} Immediately he ended the call.
A few second later, his phone rang. This time he didn’t receive a shout through the call.
“… You finally calmed down?”
{Nm… Sorry for shouting at you a while ago-daya… It’s been hectic here lately, and you can see how much stress I’m under.} The caller explained in Kansai dialect.
[A/N: Sorry, but I don’t know any Kansai talks. My cousin told me to use”–daya” on the end speech, but I doubt that’s actually it. If you know please tell me.]
The person Arsur had called had a childish voice but had a mature feeling to it, from the tone of the voice it seems that this person on the other side is a female.
“That’s why I told you that you should have come with me for a few months.” He said while making ‘I told you so’ expression.
“Also, didn’t you said before, ‘it’s just few paper works-daya’{Guh…} and ‘don’t worry, I could do it alone-daya’ {Urg…}. When I said to don’t overwork it, you said, ‘I’m just gonna finish this and take a long rest-daya. So don’t worry-daya.’ {Argh…}.” Arsur had reminded while imitating the lady. While the lady on the phone received critical hits from her flashbacks.

[A/N: Arsur just imitated the way the lady talks and the person in question had a flashed back of it.]
Arsur had a look of amusement, while the lady on the phone could be imagined to have received multiple stabs and now agonizing about what she said before.
{Hidoi~… Arsur-jiji no hidoi~}
“…” Arsur had snapped and whispers something on the phone.
{!! Geh…Gomen’nasai...} The lady could be imagined to be whimpering like a small child on the other side, but who knows.
{… De, what do you want-daya… to call this late.} The lady inquires while still whimpering.
“Well, I’ll be coming over there tomorrow and I’ll need a room for someone that I’ll be bringing with me.”
{… anything else-daya?} She said annoyingly as she cursed him in a low tone as possible, although Arsur could still hear her he just ignored those curses.
“For now, no… But I do have something that you would surely like.” He smirks.
{Oh… what is it-daya? Quick, tell me-daya!} The lady’s sudden raise of voice had a tint of excitement filled in it. She knew that, whatever Arsur had in stored are thing that one should be excited about, especially for her.
“Fufufu… I’ll tell you when I get there. I expect a good drink with it, alright?”
{Don’t worry about it, I’ll take care of it-daya.} She said proudly on the phone while proudly puffing out her chest, if she had something proud about her chest that is.
Arsur ended the call and drank up the remaining coffee. He looks at the beautiful starry night.

Setsu stood dumbfounded after she found herself standing in front of a huge luxurious hotel with no single recollection of coming here, it had been a full minute since she been like this and Arsur was trying so hard not to laugh out loud.
What Arsur did was, woke Setsu up early then dragged her haft-asleep to his car and drove for three hours of driving. This is what he explains to Setsu when she asked for an explanation.
Inside, the whole room had grandiose and spacious interior with a lot of rare expensive furniture that would even equal to the royalties of this world. All staffs around were performing their role professionally and efficient.
It was like this hotel is only exclusive for the riches and VIPs.
It was the second time she faints while still standing and Arsur were already holding his stomach, a bit curled down, as he suppresses himself. Soon as she recovers, she immediately glared towards Arsur to give her complaints but it never came out because she it would only add to his amusement and already felt tired from just this.

After Arsur had his fun he went towards the counter, holding up his laugh, to retrieve their key for the reserved room and went straight to the elevator with Setsu walking closely, afraid from getting lost.
As soon they arrived on their room, Setsu immediately went first to find herself a bed to rest as she ignores what around her.
Around her were numbers of high-class and expensive items that been made by top masters, even the bed she is using were also made with the same materials as what the royalties use. Sure enough, if she were to know of this info before they enter this would cause her to faint again, counting it as her third.
When Arsur, who followed next, he made a surprised look as he stare at the defenseless little girl fast asleep on her comfortable bed. He heaved a deep sigh before his eyes glints of a predator, causing her to walks towards her and sat at her side.
He brushed off her hair that were blocking her beautiful smooth face, his fingers then traced from the side of her cheeks down to her neck. Seeing her defenseless sleeping face, he pictured it into his mind not wanting to forget it.
Her face carries a child look, her beautiful long eyelashes, her smooth silky skins, her cute small pink lips, her average breast size that kept rising up and down emphasis her curvy waist. Seeing this, any man would instinctively want to take advantage of this opportunity.
Just when his face was getting closer to her face, his movement stopped. He halted his advance, inches away from her face, backed away a little then holds up her closest hand and gently gave it a kiss instead before placing it down below her chest.
He covered her half in blanket and rest at the sofa, completely leaning back as his face faces ceiling as his eyes are closed while he calm himself down from his excitement.
He then fixed up his posture once he’d calm down and patiently waits for the guest who would be arriving.
Haft an hour later, someone came thru the door, looking with a cautious expression.
“… Are the two of you, the one I should be taking in?” He asked, after he laid his eye on him.
Arsur nodded. “Yes, you are correct.”
The man stares at Setsu for a second, then returned his gazed back at Arsur in deep thought. He then sat across Arsur on the sofa, and start reading him from top to bottom.
“So…” he started. “… Kind enough to fill me in, and why I was asked to take the two of you in.”
“Well firstly, the girl you saw sleeping on the bed is Setsuka ,” Arsur glanced at Setsu “I first met her lying on the ground unconscious. She was originally the only one you should be taken in alone, but I would felt guilty if I left her alone so…” Arsur didn’t continue. The man glanced at Setsu for a bit then returns his gaze back to Arsur.
“And you are?” The man inquired.
“Ah. How rude of me, I’m…” Arsur paused “… well, you could just call me Arthur.” He smiled.
After Arsur—no, Arthur introduced himself, he began explaining to him that Setsu is not a resident of this world but an otherworlders. He retold what Setsu were doing before she came into this.
At first he doubts the story of him coincidently finding her, but when Arthur said that she is an otherworlders and the feeling he got from her of not from around here, and how his intuition telling him that Arthur had no ill intention he find his word believable but still couldn’t bring to believe his word.
Arthur was troubled of not being believed in. Well it true that no one would believe it from the first time they heard of this, except Arthur who could look thru a person’s memory.
Putting a finger on his chin and tilts his head as he think of something that would make this man believed, then he saw something.
“Then, why don’t we listen to her part of the story.” Arthur suggested as he directed his gazed at the girl who happened to woke up.
The man noticing Arthur gazing to his side traces it to find the girl just sat up from the bed, rubbing her eyes a bit as she stares at them for a minute.
“Fue…” she muttered in a foolish way as she completely woke up, while looking at the additional person on the room.
“Setsuka, right… Arthur here told me that you’re from another world, could you please tell me your story.” The man said, as he squinted at Arthur.
“… Arthur?” Setsu wonders.
“Please, Setsu…” Arthur replied while his hand clasp together.
Though Setsu was confused on what is happening, she still did what she was requested and started from when she was headed to Chie’s van and suddenly she was attack by an awful headache before collapsing on the middle of somewhere.
