After the event, Nerd Fulbright successfully turned the tables. From being a rare comet sparkling star once a hundred years in the sky, now it is like a stone that is easy to find anywhere. Worthless and ordinary.
“Duh, because that's your name Nerd!” Nibella, Nerd's senior sighed and slapped her forehead. Then tilt the head.
“I told you! it has nothing to do with the name, senior! T-that obviously has nothing to do name!” protested the Nerd, even though he wasn't sure himself. “I was bullied because of that name a long time ago, Ughhh…!” The nerd cried tears of imagination, but the look on his face wasn't sad at all.. The expression on his face was ridiculous and stupid.
"Your face is really annoying! Try getting square glasses instead of round ones, you idiot!”
“Oh my… I don't understand that dark elves have no fashion value-“
Nibella stomped her foot.
“AUCCCH!” Nerd spontaneously raised his right leg, tiptoe.
"You’re the one that needed advice! Not me!”
(why is she cranky!? You old granma!)
Doors open left and right automatically. Like the door of a space capsule. At least the fact of the 'space capsule' is true.
Because of that choice, Fidelius Darlorent, told Nibella to take Nerd Fulbright to the Research & Security Interdimensional Expedition Service Center. The building is also where the expedition team makes preparations before traveling to other Etherealms. They study, practice, and enrich their abilities and knowledge before trying their luck on Etherealm or other mysterious planets.
The building is a disused former space capsule ship. Consists of three levels which place is very wide.
Now Nerd and Nibella headed for the research room on the top floor. The room contains four computers and is filled with six bookshelves that line the back. There's a table in the middle that has like a fancy tool topped of it.
"Oh, Lady Nibella!" The male dark elf raised his arm in salute with Nibella. “Geh… why is this monkey man here?” he pointed at Nerd while turning his head away.
The dark elf man was wearing the same outfit as her, a customized nylon leotard with tungsten steel. It is black with gray on the sleeves and yellow stripes.
Nerd brought his forehead swiftly to the dark elf man's forefinger. Instantly the dark elf man's forefinger bent painfully.
“OUCH! WHAT ARE YOU DOING, GORILLA!?” The man growled.
“U-u-u-u-uuu… Uhoooo!” Nerd pounded his chest, his nostrils flare, he behaves like an angry gorilla in a very similar way.
“You two, stop it!” Nibela intervened between them. Then she turned to the dark elf man with a competent face. "Hendrick, start the Etherberum Obscura." Nibella pulled out two chairs at a table topped by a clear blue hexagonal object with a projection lens above and below it. On the outer hexagon object, there are screens about 6 inches front and back.
“Yes Ma'am!” Hendrik turned on the computer and sat down.
176Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNhPD6QORjA
Nerd sat across from Nibella, separated by the Etherberum Obscura.
Within seconds, the clear blue hexagonal object displayed a highly realistic hologram of a planet. Meanwhile, on the 6-inch screen, detailed information is written that explains the components and percentage of life on the planet.
"Excuse me, Lady Nibella, is there a need for you to turn on the Etherberum Obscura?" Hendrik turned angrily to Nerd. “Then, what is this gorilla doing in this place?”
“Hey, you have a problem, burnt buns!?”
"WHAT DID YOU SAY? YOU WISH TO FIGHT, HUH!?” Hendrik was aghast.
“YOU NEED TO LEARN!?” neither did Nerds.
“YOU ALL SHUT UP!!! Ugh…!” Nibella's jolting tone made them go down immediately. "You’re all like a child!"
But for a moment…
“WLOLOLOLOL!” Nerd stuck his tongue out at Hendrik.
#Crack!
There was the sound of the mouse being crushed by Hendrik, he growled hatefully at Nerd.
#Ctass!
“Pfft!” Hendrik stifled a laugh.
“OUUCCH!!” Nerd screamed in pain as Nibella flicked his tongue hard. “WLAT ALE DLID YLOU JLST DO OLD GLANMA!?” (What did you just do, old grandma!?) The Nerd curled his tongue.
As if it didn't stop there, Nerd's head bulged to make it look like a bear.
“HUAWAUWAWUAWUAWUA!” Hendrik jumped off his chair laughing.
***
Within ten minutes, the situation had become serious again. Nerd didn't want to get hurt before leaving, while Hendrik was still a little out of laught.
Nibella explains to Hendrik of her presence and the reason for turning on a device as important as the Etherberum Obscura. Nibella said that Nerd, a man with a stupid face and a whimper, asked to live on another planet out of a very safe choice, especially for his own future.
Etherberum Obscura, The tool keeps documentation of planets found on previous expeditions. The information contained is of course general matters such as weather, air, dimensional pressure and other small details. The findings only aim to find certain planets that are close to being normal for civilization.
"That's why you deserve to be called Professor Gorilla, huh? Your glasses and brain are in sync so I can't think of anything else besides Professor Gorilla," said Hendrik, laughing mockingly while pulling his cheeks to make them look like gorilla cheeks.
“Nnnnngggggg! There is no medicine for his dirty mouth!” Nerd bit his lip. The Nerd's angry face looked as flat as if it had been run over by a tractor truck.
“So, Nerd, where to start? Old file?"
Nerd got serious again.
“Eh? No, don't. I want to see the results of my past expeditions.”
Nibella swap near the hexagonal glass beam. Etherberum Obscura supports gesture features to make it easier to present data.
It looks like a planet shaped like a star but only four corner points. When Nibella swipes across and zooms in on its façade, the Etherberum Obscura animates motion like water but is purple and the barren ground is silver.
Without trees and housing. Monotonous and tends to look rocks.
"Shurikens?" Nerd commented on the shape.
“#Hah… (sighed)” Nibella slapped her forehead and was a little desperate.
“For now the naming is Mutrillon. The water… I'm not sure,” Nibella raised one eyebrow. “Like a desert… no animals, trees, grass…? So, I don't really recommend this one at all.
"Is that so?"
"Why not, madam? Let this gorilla get trapped in another dimension and be confused! Hahaha!" Hendrik glared full of ridicule like a koala's eyes, he always totally made Nerd angry.
(This burn bun brat!?) Nerd thought indignantly, holding his hand shaking like a rasengan ball.
Nibella doing swapped gesture near the clear hexagon block, for the next planet information. The planet is like Saturn with rings, only in the shape of a kite.
When zoomed in, you can see the plains are brown and the dust winds are the same color. There is a clear river that makes Nerd a little triggered to see its beauty.
The river at several points there are white stones, cones and six rows. Weird enough, in the mind of a Nerd. The rest is just a calm stream and passed by lots of fish.
However…
As three small fish crossed the rock…
Turns out it wasn't a rock. But the teeth of a water monster that suddenly grabbed the fish for an instant and then just disappeared. The creature has at least twelve eyes and is also hairy.
In a few seconds, a row of stones appeared like that again.
Nibella and Nerd's eyes narrowed and glanced at each other.
“I guess… not this one….”
“Yeah… definitely not this…” Nerd replied softly.
Nibella shifted planets until forty data were missed. Hours of time elapsed. About five data looks very promising although… there are things that must be underlined and do not meet the criteria of the man with round glasses. Nerd adamantly refused.
“Hey, Nerd, what exactly are you looking for!? Even though the two earlier were better! Nibella frowned. She may also be exhausted. "Nerwin hasn't eaten yet, ughh... how time is this?" Nibella turned over her right arm, looked at her watch.
The time is 5 in the morning…
Because of that, Nerd told Nibella to come home. Nibella is a young chief who just got married after all. She has a dependent of his little daughter, Nerwin, who is still 8 years old. Her husband lives in memories, like the space ship which is now history and is being used as a more relevant facility for long-term interests.
Nibella apologized and promised to come after dropping her baby off at school. But Nerd refused and told her to rest get well sleep. Nerd promised not to leave until he said goodbye to Nibella.
Nibella left, leaving two people who never got along. However… the situation is now different.
“Oi, Gorilla! Your expedition yesterday had approximately 100 planets discovered by this planetary camera satellite. You aren’t saying that… I should look for one by one, did you!?”
Nerd, with teary marble eyes, his tongue hanging out a little, “Please, prince? Tehee~” he begged with a stupid face.
“TEHEE YOUR ASS! TCUIHH!” Hendrik looked at Nerd in disgust.
Nerds sighed. He said that Hendrik could leave him alone to find what he fit. Hendrik was silent for a moment. Hendrik felt that he didn't have to refuse Nerd's request, at least this time.
#Hah… (sighed)
“I actually checked all the data. Some… there are ones I remember because they are interesting…. Tell me, which one is closer to the criteria you are looking for?” Hendrik turned away with a serious face.
“Hendrick…”
Nerd held his chin, probing his thoughts. Nerd tries to remember his past.
Nerd tried for a moment to lean his back on the overstuffed and expensive office chair. Nerd looked at the ceiling quietly and then closed his eyes.
Nerd sank into his mind. This time, Nerd's expression was seen by Hendrik without the slightest hint of humor or any intention of ridiculing him at all.
on the contrary,
Actually, the only person who had listened to his nonsense when he was still a rookie in the expedition back then…
Just the round glasses Nerd, this stupid Gorilla.
