Monday

Lidya who was sitting on a very comfortable sofa while watching television which was broadcasting daily news programs with her sister, Dea who was playing with dolls on the carpet in front of the television. Her mother was away with her father,

there was a notification sound from Lidya's cellphone which she placed beside herself.

"Hello Lidya, can you do it on Wednesday or not?"

It turns out that Jean asked himself.

"Wait a minute, I'll ask them both first." After typing this, Lidya contacted the two of them, Noir and Iris.

After waiting for almost half an hour, Lidya got an answer and after that she contacted Jean.

"They can, when do they leave?"

"Morning, go straight there, okay?"

After that, Lidya replied with an OK sticker!!!

After that, she went to the kitchen to find food and to make milk for her sister.

“Sis… will Iris come here again?” asked her sister while holding the shirt she was wearing.

"I don't know, De. I'll call Sis Ris later." Squatting down, she stroked her little sister's head.

"Umm..." she rubbed her eyes.

"Let's play in the family room, then let me directly contact Iris." she deftly carried her sister in her left hand,

and in her right hand she carried a milk bottle and snacks.

—-------

"Hello, what's up Lid?"

"Can you come here now?"

"Wait a minute, just clean up with Diya, then when it's finished I'll be there."

"Okay, thanks, sorry to bother you."

"Ya"

Wednesday, the day they would go to the hot springs.

“Hey Lid, do you want a ride with Iris or me?” Noir asked when the three of them had gathered.

"Ummm... Just Iris, it's not good if we ride together." Answered Lidya who was moving towards Iris'

motorbike.

“Gas..” Iris said those words excitedly and they started to go to the mountainous area not far from the city

center, only about 1 hour away by motorbike. They are more than 17 years old, so they are entitled to have a

driver's license.

After a fairly tiring journey, they arrived at the parking area where the hot springs are located. There were

already Jean, Johan, and Sinha. Mariana hasn't come yet.

“The scenery here is nice, isn't it.” After Noir parked his motorbike, he looked around.

"Haha.. thank you.. let's go in." Asked Jean, who turned out to be the granddaughter of the owner of this hot spring.

Upon entering, they saw 2 ponds bordered by a fence of bamboo trees. They walked towards the changing area. But while on the way... there was a scream from the front.

"WAHHHHH." Came Marriana gasping for air with the bicycle she was pedaling.

"Why are you eh? The closest house but even the last to arrive." Asked Jean,

“there was.. there was.. there was a wild animal earlier. I was being chased earlier." Marriana's breathing was irregular, and Lidya took out a bottle of drinking water that she had bought when they went to the supermarket.

After Marriana's breathing was regular, Lidya gave her a bottle of drinking water.

"This."

"Thank you .." then quickly marriana drink the water.

"Explain to us what happened." With a calm tone, Jean asked Marriana who was still sitting in the parking lot.

"You know the Banyan Road right? I was passing there with the reason to speed up the road to get here. But when I passed the three banyan trees, there was an animal like a white wolf but it was big, chasing me, no one was there so I couldn't help but speed up my bicycle, but the animal still followed me." With a very frightened face, she tried to explain,

(it doesn't look like a lie,) Iris whispered to Lidya. And Lidya nodded her head.

"Then where did the animal go?" looking around, Johan asked.

"I don't know. I just focused on cycling in the hope that it wouldn't be able to catch up with me, until that front I didn't even look back until I turned this way." Marriana said, whose facial expression clearly looked desperate.

"By the way, what is the banyan road eh?" Sinha, who didn't know, tried to ask them.

“Ummm… a small path full of gardens and trees famous for 3 large banyan trees that are probably over 500 years old lined up. It's quiet there, but it's quicker to get here than the highway.” Answered Jean, who certainly knew the mountainous area. As a child, she did live here until she decided to go to school in the city when she was a teenager.

After the incident, they decided to relax their minds by taking a bath.

After their main activity was done, they went behind the bath, actually they wanted to go to the cliff near the

mountain forest. However, this was not done because of the information given by Marriana who was being

chased by the wolf.

“Even if it's not there, the view below from here is really good, isn't it.” Iris started their conversation.

"Really, did anyone bring a camera?" Asked Johan who was standing a bit away from them."

"Oh.. I brought it, just took it in my bag near the red table." Sinha, who likes to take pictures, of course will

always carry a camera wherever he goes. After that, Johan went to the men's locker room to get the camera.

“Your name is Noir right?” Marriana who was sitting on the chair was trying to forget what had happened to her before.

"mm yeah.. right, what's wrong?"

"Well.. you are famous in my class as a closed student with people who are not close to you right? Well, I'm just amazed that you, who are thought to be introverted, can interact easily."

"Ummm.. well it's true that I rarely talk to people other than those who are really close to me, but I'm not an introverted child, so I can communicate with people easily, I have a lot of friends."

"heleh.. how much, is it more than 20?" Iris teased that it was obvious she knew the ins and outs of Noir.

“Come to think of it, you will be the owner of this place in the future, Jean?” Ask Noir to change the subject.

“I guess so, I don't have the ideals I really want. But if I can't be the owner of this place, then my cousin will be the owner of this place, considering that my grandmother is now 69 years old and can't run smoothly before and her eyesight isn't accurate now.”

"Yah. Good luck with that."

*squeak, tick...

They heard camera shots from behind them...

"Let's take a picture together" Johan came, and well.. They took pictures happily during the day.

Finished taking pictures with the background of natural scenery typical of the mountainous area. They

entered the dining room which had been provided by Jean's aunt who acted as a watchdog and supervised

the health condition of Jean's grandmother.

"Please eat,"

"thank you" answered in unison.

After lunch, they all asked the aunt.

"Auntie, is there a wild animal in the banyan forest in the form of a white wolf?" asked Aunt's niece.

"Let's remember again, there used to be tigers, leopards, red wolves, well, that's all, nothing else, even now

all the tigers and leopards have been evacuated by the environmental care agency." Answered the aunt who

had been in the area since childhood.

"Ehh.. so there's never been a white wolf, auntie?" Marriana asked dumbfounded because she was being

chased by the creature.

"As far as I remember, there's never been one... well maybe if someone else has seen it and doesn't report it

to the relevant agency, or maybe someone will release their pet into the forest." Auntie answered calmly.

“Ummm… well maybe it could be a loose pet.”

"But can it really be that big if the creature is from a pet?" Marriana asked doubtfully.

Lidya, who continued to observe the direction of the conversation after eating, whispered to Noir who also

only saw the direction of the conversation.

(could it be like Fanrir)

(nope, Fanrir is just a mythical creature)

After that, because there really is no end, they decided not to mention the problem in the discussion going

forward.

Not long after, the sun began to fade in the west. Because of the beast that was told by Marriana earlier, they

all decided to return to their respective homes. Likewise with Noir, Iris, and Lidya.

On the way home, Lidya rides with Noir, looking at her cellphone,

"Hey, Noir."

"Hmm?"

—--------------------

“So Vana Vani moved?”

"Yes."

Friday, the three of them gathered at Lidya's house.

"What's the reason e Lid?"

"Come with her parents, she said."

“Well.. so the vacation didn't happen..”

“By the way, Lid. Where has Dea been since?" asked the lonely Iris in the absence of Dea.

"She went to visit Farni yesterday, maybe she missed him."

“Owh… you don't miss him too, do you? “

“Not bad, but a few weeks before the test, I was there.”

"Oh, okay, now what are we going to do?

Well since they gathered only for the purpose of confirming the changed vacation plans, so now they have

no purpose here.

"How about playing online games?"

"Can you... do you want it or not, Ris?"

Lidya offered to Iris who was sitting on the sofa.

"Ummm.. well I've never played online games before."

"It's okay, we'll be guided later." Noir persuaded

"Okay."

After that, they went to a special room for computers, a place that Dea couldn't reach.

"Wuihhh.. the specs are cool Lid, that's why you can farm in the mine really fast." Noir said in awe after he

saw the computer in the corner of the room.

"Well.. my dad also plays on the computer when he's at home, so yeah... dad likes to upgrade this computer

equipment." Lidya answered by scratching the back of her head.

"By the way, is your father not home yet?" Noir asked

"not yet.".

"ummm…. How do you play?" Iris, who was already sitting on Lidya's father's gamer chair.

After that, they helped Iris to do the game as a beginner.

"Farm farm take it easy, don't be in a hurry." Said Lidya who was also playing beside Iris.

By using Vr, of course he seems to be that player and…

“Waaa… there's a bear there's a bear.” Iris screamed in surprise when the player she was controlling met the

bear suddenly and automatically, she let go of the device attached to her head.

"If there is a bear, how do you fight it?" Iris asked Noir who saw her playing.

Noir was silent for a moment and thought that there was really a bear in that game?

“Ummm… I've never seen a bear in the game, it's an online game where players can compete, but I've never seen a bear before. Right Lid?"

"correct. I've never seen a bear, but when tigers and fanriers frequent."

Lidya and Noir have been playing that game since the game was released and of course as senior players they know the ins and outs in the beginner stage that there shouldn't be any dangerous animals, even a level 1 wolf. they don't know how things are or updates from the game dev.

While Lidya and Noir were thinking, Iris tried to find out the bear's weakness by using a feature called google.

After that, she continued the beginner stage.

After a while, Iris's character had already touched level 6 which meant she could enter a guild. Because

Noir's guild is left with only him and Lidya, Lidya invites Iris to join as a member of the sixzeronine guild.

"Hey, Noir.. do you want to play?" Iris asked who had been playing for a while.

"Not yet, I've been playing at home the whole holiday yesterday."

In this room, Lidya has 3 active VR, and 2 VR that can no longer be used.

After a while,

"Hey, Lidya, what's that?"

When the mode Iris is using is no longer starter, then her character will connect to the main server and join the guild/ they explore the surrounding area from the respawn area and find a…

“It's called a Dungeon, a layered room that leads into the ground.”

"Let's go in."

"Gas."

After a while, they made it to the boss dungeon, which is on the tenth floor at high speed because the equipment the character wears makes 2 times more damage and Lidya's character is level 78.

“Come on. I'm tired of my eyes looking at the monitor all the time." Invite Iris to stop playing. And of course they all agree too.

After tidying up at that place, they came out of the room and just at that moment, there was the sound of footsteps from outside the house and entered the front door.

“I back… uh.”

It was Dea who quickly entered the house. She stopped in her seat in the living room when she saw Iris standing on the opposite side.

“Sis Ris…” quickly, she started running again and now she was heading towards Iris who was crouching down to catch Dea.

"Hello Dee." While lifting Dea in her arms.

"We're home… ahh there are Lidya's friends, right." Lidya's sister and her mother entered the house..

After that, the three of them chatted for a while about random problems.

And after that they went back to their respective homes.

"We're going home first, greetings to your mother Lid, see you Dea."

Dea, who was half asleep in her sister's arms nodded and nodded.

On the way home, they both lead the bike.

"Where do you plan to go on vacation, eh Noir?"

"I'm just at home, nothing important so well.. sleep, play games, and maybe exercise."

"You didn't go to the martial arts training ground?"

“Mr. Samsul is dead, the trainer who taught is also our friends, so why are we going there? Do you want to go there?”

"Oh right. Guess I won't be going there again either."

"Then what do you plan to do, Ris?"

"Well, just stay at home, I'm too lazy to go out."

"Ohhh."

"Alright then, Noir, I'll go first."

Iris, who was already in front of her house, entered her yard and Noir continued on his way home.

"A cool house .." Noir murmured, still guiding his bicycle.
