Her eyes skimmed through the details and clicked her tongue in irritation. She had actually signed up for a troublesome thing without thinking. It wasn’t as if Eva was scared of rats or even oversized ones but having to find it in this heat and even kill it made her just want to curl up somewhere and sleep. The request had come from someone named Luciel. But where did she have to go to meet this girl? “Here’s your order,” the waitress placed a glass of orange juice in front of her, smiled, and turned to leave when Eva stopped her. “Hey, do you know someone named Luciel?” she asked, turning the piece of paper in her direction.
The girl looked confused first but a look of recognition soon replaced it when she took a look at the request paper. “Oh yes, that’s Merlin’s assistant,” she answered but smiled sheepishly when Eva gave her a questioning look. “Of course, you wouldn’t know Merlin. Well, if you go to the park just a few minutes of walk from here, Luciel will most likely be there. No one knows what those two do. Merlin’s a big help for us but Luciel is still learning. It’s kind of difficult to understand her. She is always so quiet,” the short haired waitress told Eva who just nodded. Pointing to the direction the girl had earlier looked at, Eva asked, “Is that the way to the park?” “Oh Yes, just go straight and take a left. You’ll get there in two or three minutes,” she answered.
Eva thanked her, paid with a little extra tip for the helpful waitress and grabbed her bag before walking down the path she thought would lead her to the park. But as expected, she arrived in two minutes. The park wasn’t crowded but she spotted a strange girl with light blonde hair and a strange white top hat. She was crouching down in front of a tree, pushing her face close to a rabbit hole as if to inspect something. Eva was only following her gut instinct when she approached the girl with the same piece of paper in her hand. “Are you Luciel? If you aren’t, do you know her?”
