Back To the Beginning
Special Guest in Small Factory

"Mr.Meinhard! Miss Evelyn and Ms. Ariadna have arrived" I said calling Mr. Meinhard in our room.

If I look around, Mr.Meinhard and Noland are around a short table near the sofa and are arranging some finished perfumes. There are three types of perfumes, the other types of perfumes will be in gradual production.

The scattered paper had been lost from the table, most likely already kept by Mr. Meinhard in a secret place.

"Yes, please" replied Mr. Meinhard standing from his couch and walking closer to me to greet the special guest.

Noland also stood up, yet he remained in his position.

I shifted slightly from the starting position, giving way to Evelyn and Ms. Ariadna behind me.

"Include meinhard, the management of the Merchant Association."

"I am Ariadna's manager from Miss Evelyn beside me," replied to Ms. Ariadna's introduction while representing Evelyn beside her.

"It's nice to meet you, Mr. Meinhard, Mr. Meinhard" Evelyn said, taking off her glasses.

Noland was already shaking there.

"It's nice to meet you all. As Nak Arthur said, we have prepared some samples of our products on the table. I hope we can work together."

Mr.Meinhard guided Evelyn and Ms. Ariadna, and let her sit on the couch.

Noland and I took up positions to the right and left of Mr. Meinhard.

Evelyn and Ms. Ariadna had already looked curious about the object located on the table.

3 Types of perfumes with 3 different classes.

"Please try... These perfumes are divided into 3 different types. The first type is intended by the lower classes, the second for the middle class, and the last for the nobility" explained Mr. Meinhard while pointing to the perfume in question.

Evelyn and Ms. Ariadna started grabbing some perfumes that captivated her attention, in terms of the color of the liquid and the shape of the bottle.

I walked over to them to help use it.

Evelyn took perfume for the middle class, and Ms. Ariadna took perfume for the nobility.

It looks like Ms.Ariadna has the ability to choose the best product.

They both put the perfume into their hands, and smelled the scent.

As Ms. Ariadna's eyes twinkled, she smelled her scent over and over again.

"An extraordinary "L! I didn't expect to rent this!" ms. Ariadna said as she continued to spray perfume on her hands.

"Isn't that Miss Evelyn?" ms. Ariadna asked Evelyn's opinion beside her.

All views moved to Evelyn.

Evelyn beside him only fell silent after smelling the fragrance of the perfume he had chosen.

Sensing that something was wrong, Ms. Ariadna started asking Evelyn about her condition.

"Miss Evelyn? You why?" asked Ms.Ariadna starting to worry about Evelyn who had fallen silent earlier.

"EITHER? Ah, I'm fine. I was just surprised by the smell of this perfume" Evelyn replied as she tried to make a smile on her face.

"really? You almost worry me, Miss."

”Quiet Ariadna, I'm fine."

It really worries me! I think there's a dangerous substance that goes into that perfume.

Maybe my mind is the same as Mr. Meinhard, because he had made a panicked face and slowly subsided.

Is there anything strange about the perfume?

"How's Miss Evelyn? Ms. Aliadna? do you like it?" ask Mr.Meinhard.

"Yes, I like it," Evelyn replied with a slight lethargy.

"If Miss thinks so, so do I."

A happy face emerged from Mr. Meinhard's face, he was very hopeful that this cooperation would succeed.

"Good then. Can we talk about it in more detail in a more closed place'?" said Mr.Meinhard invited to discuss this cooperation in a safer room.

"Sure," replied Ms. Ariadna.

Mr.Meinhard got up from his couch.

"Please get through here" said Mr. Meinhard ready to drive.

"Come Evelyn," asked Ms. Ariadna.

"Em Ariadna's... I'll stay here, I'll feel exhausted after the trip."

"Eh? But..."

If I look at Evelyn's condition, she's a little tired. But this was very sudden, when he was very excited.

He changed when he smelled the perfume.

I have to investigate. I have to take responsibility for my creation.

"Just take it easy Ms. Ariadna, we will accompany Miss Evelyn here. Is that right, Noland?"

"Sorry Arthur, I want to accompany Mr. Meinhard inside."

You're too much Noland.

"Ah so... Alright, I will accompany Miss Evelyn here. So take it easy Ms. Ariadna."

"Well, please accompany Evelyn, Arthur."

"Give it to me."

Ms. Ariadna and Noland walked out of the room, following Mr.Meinhard to the other room.

I'm sitting on the same couch as Evelyn.

If I pay attention again, Evelyn is indeed really exhausted.

"Miss Evelyn, are you really exhausted from the trip?"

"Yes... This might also happen because of my schedule, which is a lot" explains Evelyn.

Makes sense. Evelyn's schedule was very busy, from morning to night. Maybe this afternoon should be his rest.

"It's not the perfume, is it?" many ensure.

Evelyn's body suddenly stiffened.

Eh? What was? There is nothing strange about this perfume.

"Miss Evelyn, is there something strange about the perfume?"

"There is no..."

"really? But why does it seem like your behavior is a bit strange when it comes to that perfume?"

"Why don't you trust me?"

"Sorry Miss Evelyn, it's not that I don't trust you. But.. I was worried about the strange things that might be contained in the perfume. The perfume is my creation, so I have to take responsibility for everything that happens" I explained.

Evelyn remained silent.

In the middle of the sudden conversation was someone asking for permission to enter.

"Excuse me, may I come in?" ask the guy.

"Ah yes please," I said while looking at the person.

The man was carrying a tray with two cups of tea in it.

"I was asked by Mr. Meinhard to make me and bring you tea" he said.

"Oh so, thank you."

I got up from the sofa and helped the man to put the teacup on the table.

"Please enjoy" said the man.

After that, he withdrew and left the room.

"Please drink Miss Evelyn" I said, inviting Evelyn to drink the warm tea.

"Thank you."

Evelyn took her tea and drank it elegantly.

I sat on the sofa next to him.

I didn't know what to do, so I took my tea.

How to continue the topic... I still suck at communication!

Very clumsy.

Silent. That is what can describe our current situation.

Did he not like my treatment? Come to think of it, my treatment was very disrespectful. Lothawat! Maybe he will cancel our cooperation that even I don't know whether or not it is intertwined.

Lothawat! Lothawat! This is so bad!

"The perfume was jasmine flowers right?"

Evelyn suddenly started talking again, almost to my surprise in a panic.

I have to make her comfortable.

I glanced towards the perfume she was referring to.

"Right, we used jasmine flowers inside that perfume."

"Is there anything strange?" ask slowly.

"Not really... Not something big. To be honest, I only remember my hometown."

"Your hometown? So there's a lot of jasmine flowers?"

"Well, that's how it is..."

"So don't think about it anymore" Evelyn continued.

"Ah... Good. Thanks for the explanation."

So, because of that he suddenly became limp and lethargic? Just because of his hometown? It seems he still holds many more secrets.

But I won't force him to speak. That's privacy.

"You seem too formal, your style of speech."

"I find it a little strange that your style of speech is too formal."

He told me to correct this formal, polite style of speech? Ok, I'll obey.

"Ah, well Miss Evelyn."

"Evelyn! .. Call me Evelyn."

"Yes... Evely." - Evelyn."

"It looks better!"

"... Is it worth it for me to talk to you like this?"

"Why not worth it? aren't we friends?"

"Then's the guy?"

"Heh?! We're not friends?"

"ah! i-i mean... We are friends!"

A smile re-formed on his face.

It seems like I have managed to restore his mood. Mercifully...

"Arthur, do you know? This day is"

Just in the middle of the sentence, Evelyn's speech suddenly interrupted.

I looked at him out of curiosity.

But unfortunately I couldn't see his face in front of mine.

He fell down on the couch.

Huh why is this?! Lothawat!

I approached him and tried to wake him up.

"Evely? Evely? Evelyn?!" I said while shaking his slender body.

Nawat, he fainted!

Is he so tired?

I checked his condition, checked his body temperature, checked his pulse, and so on.

Strange, I don't feel anything strange.

While thinking I accidentally glanced towards the teacup we drank earlier.

...

...

Damnit damnit! I didn't think this would happen.

This is not the time to be silent.

I ran at high speed, exiting the room to seek help.

Looks like my misfortune has been piled up at this point.

While passing through the separation path between the rooms.My hand was caught by someone.

Because of my speed, I spun, slammed, and collapsed onto the floor very hard like a slam.

My head started to hurt from the effects of falling and my vision was slowly becoming unclear.

The shadow of some people began to appear in this indistinct vision of mine.

And my vision was completely black, and my consciousness began to waver.

Damnit damnit! Damnit damnit! FUCKIN' SHIT!

I'm breathless.

I will be eaten by the lions... In the end I was just a very naive little deer.
