Chapter 61
FREEDOM DAY II
FIRA’S POV
“Crap. Really?”
Pyro gave me his immeasurable smile that was captivating my heart, causing it to jump. “You don’t believe me now?”
“Always believe you.” I gazed around the place. We were on the hill, the top elevation of the city. I could see the lightning of the buildings that looked like fireflies in the forest. The building was tall, and amazing like what Elemental Kingdom. The trees were having lights surrounding their branches.
I ran towards Pyro’s back when I saw a big bird with light flying in the sky. Pyro grabbed my hand and pinched it gently. “It’s a chopper. Inside that is a human. You don’t need to be afraid of that thing, it doesn’t have light.”
I slowly went out of his back. “Oh? That’s amazing.”
“Yes and you’ll see such amazing things down there. Let’s go.” He seemed to be excited. We walked to the downside, afraid of slipping so I held Pyro’s hand tightly. There was grass here, too, lime surrounding the Elemental Kingdom. We passed different kinds of trees.
As we arrived down the hill, Pyro was right. There were so many amazing things like the skating of the kids, playing around. Couples dating in the so-called park, I saw on the board. The music was everywhere and it was so loud.
Although I was a bit nervous with the I don’t know what you called that thing, the humans were going inside that and then that thing moved forward.
“It’s a car. That is a vehicle, a land transportation that is used by humans when they want to go to any place they want.” Pyro pointed at the red car that was running when the lights in the post changed color. He pointed at the big one. “That’s a bus. We’ll go there later.”
“You’re always here, King Fire, huh?”
His face became frown as he heard the ‘King Fire.’
“Call me King Fire again, I’ll kiss you even if people are surrounding us.” That was a threat, but why did it sound sweet to me?
“Pyro?” I said in a shy voice and face.Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Yes, Dearest?” Sometimes he was crazy, I could not understand him. Now, he was smiling like a great goddess of Adonis personified.
I just shook my head while scratching my nape. Why does it seem so hard to communicate at this time?
“We’re going to the mall, buy clothes, anything you want.” He was still holding my hand as if he did not want to remove it.
We walked to the white lines in the road which Pyro said, that was a pedestrian lane. If you want to go to the other side walk, you need to use that so the vehicles would stop and let you pass without injury. I felt I was a kid who was just listening to whatever he was saying. Another reason why I did not go in the city was because mom and dad said it was dangerous here although I wanted to glimpse… even a glimpse.
I was so happy, I could feel it in my heart. Finally, I knew what the city looked like. There were so many technologies, Pyro told me that it was made to make things easier for humans.
We stopped at the brightest store where I saw many things. I knew it will be worn to the wrist because I observed the people who were buying it.
“Wrist Watch for a couple,” Pyro said as he leaned on the glassware. The woman was having a starstruck by how she gazed at Pyro. It seemed like she did not want to ease her eyes on him so what we did was find another woman with the same uniform and asked her. Like the other one, when she saw Pyro, she almost shouted, her face was blushing. I thought they liked him.
I raised my hands that were holding Pyro, showed it to them while having a huge smile on my lips.
I did not think that there were so many flirts in the city. Crap. Did they not see that I was existing?
The woman stared at our hands for a few seconds and then she guided us to go to the couple’s section. Pyro grabbed a silver watch that was composed of steel. He put the one to his wrist and the other one to my wrist.
Couple. Did he mean that? Oh, well, maybe just for a watch.
“We’ll buy these,” Pyro said while looking at my wrist. The symbol of Fire was hidden by the watch. “You’ll wear this anytime. It’s like a huge clock in the Elemental Kingdom. I chose the roman numeral numbers so you can read well.”
I nodded as I stared at the spark of gladness in his eyes. His face was lighter than usual.
“Thank you. It’s so beautiful.” I raised my hands in the air and gazed at it for so long. It was funny that we had the same watch.
After paying at the counter, we walked out of the store. He said in detail what I should do after buying things from the store. All we had from Elemental Kingdom was coins as money, a diamond and a bar of gold. Only to find out that diamond and gold were having a big value in the human world. It could buy a house, car, and lot, but it was dangerous to show those things to the people because so many bad guys could do something dreadful to get it from us. I learned plenty from Pyro.
Next we stood at the cart which had a board saying ‘Ice Cream.’ I heard this thing from Zephyeus, he told me how delicious it was, but he could not bring me one because it was melting. I was excited to taste that.
“What flavor do you like?” Pyro was looking at the menu that was located at the top of the cart.
“Hmm?” I put my index finger on my chin as I read what was on it. Being someone who could read was a great opportunity. “Strawberry?”
“One strawberry and One chocolate ice cream,” Pyro commanded the lady that was positioned inside the store.
Even at this time, the king’s attitude of him was peeping even though he hid it.
The woman gave the ice cream to Pyro, I was so excited that I almost jumped. “Finally, I can taste this. King Wind said it’s pretty much delicious! Thank you so much!” I wrapped my hands on his arm.
We went to the bench that was on the quadrangle of the mall. The grin ear by ear never left me as I licked the ice cream. “It’s cold!” My eyes were widening.
Pyro stared at my face happily. “Yes. Make it fast. That will melt and go to your hands.”
I licked faster. I heard his chuckle as he watched me. “You’re so cute, Fira.”
I chuckled too as I race the melting ice cream on the cone. “It’s delicious! I can taste the strawberry in my tongue,” I showed him my tongue. “How about yours?” I looked at his brown color ice cream.
I wondered what it tasted like?
I moved my head closer and licked his ice cream. I stopped as I realized what I did. “Sorry. I just feel like tasting it. Chocolate is delicious! Please buy me one with chocolate flavor? Please please!”
“Yeah, after that. But be careful it can cause coughing.”
“I’m strong.” I showed him my muscle in the upper arm. He just chuckled cutely.
Our attention was caught by the sound of the piano. It was in the center of the quadrangle with a man sitting on it.
“Hello, everybody! I am Akiro. I am inviting those people who know how to play the piano. This is your turn to show your talent to anyone!” The man in front announced those lines.
Suddenly, I remembered that Pyro had a piano in his room. I was pretty sure that he had knowledge on how to use that.
“Raise your hand if you want to hit the keys! We are willing to listen to you, Talented Pianist!” Akiro continued to pursue every one. There was someone who was murmuring, but no one wanted to try.
I gasped Pyro’s hand and raised it above our heads. “Here! My mate-boyfriend will play the piano!”
“Damn.” I heard the whisper of Pyro.
