章節 5: Chapter 5: (Space Gate )

At the cafeteria, Augustya was sitting on the corner and gulping down the runny kartoffel soup served by the staff lady.

"Kartoffel soup!! Again !! Someone would get diarrhoea. "Augustya grimaced. After tasting the meat, he felt the vegetables had no flavour. The dwarf sitting beside him watched his face, let out a chuckle. "Boy, It's rare that you complain about the stem veggies. If you are not eating this, pass it to me," Pancho, the dwarf boldly said.

If you wanted to live in Natch you have to be shameless. This was implied to everyone who was staying here.

"I am carving meat. The red juicy tender…meat." Augustya's drooled as he said that aloud. Pancho examined Augustya's face again which was different compared to the first day he arrived.

"Where is your red-haired friend ?" Pancho asked curiously.

In Natch E, Augustya Pandora and Zekrom were like needles and thread. Powerful yet deadly enough to crush others.

"Don't know." Augustya gobbled down the kartoffel soup.

"Ugh..Yuck" Hurriedly he chugged the water, swallowing everything at once.

Kartoffel is a Null-void E15 delicacy. Some old data said, a few ancestors were brought here and it got easily famous. Augustya watched Pacho, the dwarf, his hip long beige hair, long almond-shaped eyes, thin black eyebrows, plump red lips, small hands and legs.

"Dwarf, can I w-work with you ?" Augustya Pandora, hesitant yet mustered his courage to ask this. Augustya looked a dwarf expression which changed like a woman.

"No!" Dwarf refused this foolish request. "Have you ever repaired something?"

"Well. I repaired a few gadgets." Augustya answered in a low voice.

Finally, that day arrived, Augustya was with Pancho.

Pancho swiped the entry card on the keypad beside the clear elevator doors and typed in the destination coordinates.

They went up and up, where they could see no clouds. The speed of the elevator was 8 km/s, compared to the speed of Air Space Jet 1 was low.

Augustya was going to experience his first jump into hyperspace.

Hyperspace was used for travelling from one planet to another, creating a stable, artificial wormhole between itself and another Stargate.

"Behold your liquid," said Pancho.

Trying to understand what he said, the next moment gravity pulls him up.

His face gilded the glass window and his grey eyes gaze outside the window. The elevator passed through the giant oval and at that moment, he sent point A to point B.

*We exit the first hyperspace gate without any disturbance.* A mechanical voice echoed in the elevator.

Finally, at its sound, Augustya grasped his senses. However…

The next second, he felt liquid gushing out of his mouth.

"Bleghhh," something was pulling out of his mouth.

"Dustbin here," Pancho pointed to the metal dustbin.

"Blelggghhj..blejhhhh," He discharged the kartoffel mushy liquid that he had eaten for breakfast.

His mouth had an aftertaste like someone had eaten a mixture of rotten eggs and bitter gourd.

"Feeling better? Or you want to throw again!" Pancho sneered and remained unperturbed.

Augustya was embarrassed by his nasty behaviour, however he couldn't control nature's call.

"How are you immune to this? " Augustya asked, curiously.

Pancho laughed and said," haha! Well I had these magnetic shoes which prevented me from zero gravity." Pancho flaunted his black shoes.

Augustya asked Pancho," why didn't you tell me before?"

Pancho showed a mischievous smile."These days I can't keep up with things."

Finally, Augustya realised that Pancho had done it on purpose.

"You! You should have told me before about that." Augustya said, enraged.

Pancho replied by shrugging his shoulders.

Zwerg (Pancho species name) liked to prank others as they felt superior.

*We are arriving at our destination.*Ai informed.

As they were reaching their station. Augustya noticed that Pancho was taking something out of the secret drawer.

"Take it." He threw a few clothes towards Augustya, but rather than falling down, they floated in the air due to zero gravity.

He caught the clothes and stared in confusion.

"Wear it. Things will get harder," informed Pancho.

*You have 5 minutes before a big tremulous happens,* A.I voice rang in the elevator again.

Listening to this, Augustya rapidly donned the magnetic space boots, gloves, and then the space suit.

However, his space suit was unzipped, his hands couldn't reach his back.

Pancho! Zip." Augustya said in a dismal voice.

"Coming!" he replied and smoothly walked on the floor. "Bend down, My hands can't reach your back."

Augustya crouched down a little then he zipped his space suit.

*In 30 seconds, we will arrive at the Natch coastline, 22n° 87w°* A.I voice changed into a more pleasant one.

It went up for a second, then down, and then proceeded to stop again.

*Thud, thud*

Slowly, the elevator stopped.

*Welcome to the coastline, Ser Pancho Zwerg.* A hologram of a young girl with green hair, had almond shaped eyes, said in a melodious voice.

"Maze, prepare ABC." Pancho ordered the digital hologram girl's. The hologram girl's name was Maze.

Maze got closer to Augusrya, and closer that he could see the girl blinking.

"7 Hells! What in the world is she?"

*Abusing a girl verbally is not acceptable. * A sharp voice from Maze echoed in the elevator. Maze programming was done by a few programmers who followed Himmel's guidance. Basically, they followed matriarchy law.

"Maze, meet 14 new resident of Natch E. And, sorry darling, he doesn't know you are sensitive." The dwarf introduced them.

*My sweet pie, I decrease 2 seconds of the time frame of Zetx, * she said in amusement and ignored the boy.

'What in the hell happening here? God if you exist, do something.' Augustya's mind was screaming inside. However, when he will see the next, his mind and soul will leave this world.

"Darling, my gift." Maze said in a cutesy voice.

"I forgot, dear, but come closer. I have something for you," chuckled Pancho.

Maze and the dwarf got closer and closer until there wasn't a space between them.

Pancho's small lips touched her lips, and for 30 seconds they forgot everything.

A loud noise separated them from doing the next thing; the tongue.

"Ahhh! Mad, fuck..fuck. Pancho, you maniac." Augustya shrieked; his eyes felt disgusted and unholy.

"Pancho you hole!" He cursed.

The dwarf looked at him with contemptuous eyes and said, "Get out."

As he said, the elevator door opened.

The boy quickly escaped from this and saved his sanity. The present sight of scenery was phenomenal, as the blue sea was imprinted in his eyes.

Hearing the waves clash between them and the sun lifted his mood.

Augustya had never seen it, so his legs moved towards the sea.

However, a bubble force field blocked his way.

"An illusion," he said to himself.

The seascape vanished as he touched the bubble. Augustya turned dejected again.

"Haha! You are really a hole." Augustya Pandora screamed in frustration and thumped his leg on the ground.

Dwarf came out with a sheath, and no wrinkles were on his clothes. He walked towards him and began humming a song.

"Did you enjoy the view?" Dwarf said in a mischievous voice.

"Go to hell!."

Safely, Augustya landed on Natch E, a wry smile appeared on his face. His first space journey with Pancho gave terrible memories that didn't want to bear in his mind.

He entered his cell and noticed that his roommate's stuff was gone.

"So he transferred."
