Chapter 4: First Experiment with Discoveries (2)
Every now and then, Gladys seemed to be smiling perfectly with her eyes that looked sparkling.
Honestly, she is happy to be there now because then she can easily take a vacation wherever she wants. Besides, she can find out how things were in the past.
Indeed, the time she is currently playing is not too far away, so of course the era she is stepping on is not that significantly different from the year it should be.
Gladys's light steps now took her to a cafe at the end of a Paris street.
Somehow her stomach suddenly felt hungry. Luckily the girl brought her sacred card, which she could use in this country.
After ordering a snack, Gladys calmly took the empty bench.
That afternoon did look lonely. Not many people are there because most of them prefer their own activities, and there is very little interaction with each other.
"It turns out it's the same as in my place. I think the results will be different in other countries," Gladys thought to herself.
Soon the food ordered was served on the table.
The girl calmly enjoyed the dish in front of her. Every now and then, Gladys looked around the window and stared at the window, which could immediately see the passing streets of Paris.
Everything was peaceful, and there was no commotion.
Of course, she can find some electronics that are very thick with high technology wherever she glances around the cafe.
Automatic buttons, foldable tables, if they are not in use or other things, it can even be said that the only waiter Gladys can see is one person, who is none other than the person at the cashier.
All the food there is delivered by robots.
'Mmm ... where I can find people I can talk to to be friends or exchange ideas with each other,' Monologue Gladys thought.
She missed interacting with other people.
So far, apart from the world that uses virtual communication more and more frequently, her father has limited herself to interacting with many people because of some of her father's fears.
For that, when she managed to find this tool, she wanted to make good use of it. She wants to feel friends or friends with someone at least two-way communication, unlike her world, which is only busy making friends with robotic robots that she managed to create herself, not infrequently the ideas she had were poured into her father's big company, which was later appropriately refined.
The clock continued, Gladys did not realize that she had actually spent a long time there.
After she finished her lunch, she walked out back to enjoying the time she didn't know how long she'd been there. She glanced at the clock equalizer that she had previously reset.
"15.00 ... wait ... what ?! I've spent my time for two and a half hours? ... Aish ... only half an hour left. Dad will push the button," Gladys whispered, annoyed because she still wanted to linger longer there.
After that, she stepped on her feet and tried to return to enjoy her life again.
From her position this time, Gladys seemed to think for a moment and then walked to the Louvre Museum, at the same time looking around, in the hope that someone would greet her and invite her to meet or something.
Gladys wish is easy, right?
But, the girl herself had never felt anything like that. That girl never had a friend like other girls the same age as her.
Only her father, mother, and brother became her family and close friends.
"I understand why Marve prefers to come to the office and call a few people he trusts to meet face to face," Gladys whispered softly.
As she stepped her feet closer to the Louvre Museum, Gladys found a group of girls and young men who looked cool joking with laughter towards the same place she was aiming for.
With great enthusiasm, Gladys drew closer to the group.
Several girls seemed to be busy chatting and also occasionally taking pictures as well as promoting like a tour guide in a kind of video in the shape of a small rectangle placed on a stick that she used to take pictures of herself.
The stick can remain stable even if the owner moves it because automatically, the stick that supports the video will stabilize the shot.
"Surely that girl has a lot of fans on her social media accounts," Gladys whispered, smiling thinly at the girl.
The distance between Gladys and the crowd was only two meters away from her.
To be honest, Gladys wanted to call or greet one of the bunch.
It's just that Gladys is afraid of being seen as bothering them.
Dugh
"I'm sorry, are you alright?" asked a young man with white skin with bluish brown eyes.
"I'm Ok," said Gladys to the young man in front of her.
'Beautiful,' the youth's mind was suddenly dazzled by Gladys.
"You want to come inside too?" asked the young man suddenly to Gladys.
Gladys, slightly stiff, seemed to nod her head, slowly confirming the young man's words.
"Ah, then we both go inside. We will also go there," said the young man enthusiastically.
"Oh yes? Can I?" asked Gladys with her sparkling eyes.
The young man seemed to chuckle at Gladys's words and did not forget to nod his head.
"Thank you," said Gladys to the young man.
The young man just smiled sweetly at Gladys.
"Oh yeah, my name is Edmond, just call me Ed," said Edmond, holding out his hand to Gladys.
"Ah ... my name is Gladys nice to meet you," said Gladys cheerfully.
"You could be. You're a lovely girl," said Ed, praising Gladys.
Gladys can only chuckle softly at the compliment.
'So this is what it feels like to have a new friend? Nice, 'Gladys thought to herself.
Gladys cheerfully followed in the footsteps of her new friend, who was none other than Edmond.
Gladys, who is too happy with her new activity with her new friend, doesn't realize that the hour she had predicted she should return in the year should have passed.
Without the girl realizing that Gladys had been there for more than three hours that she should have promised her father.

Endrew, who had only been staring at the screen in front of him like a movie being played, now looks annoyed.
"Arghh ... why is the clock taking so long!" growled Endrew, who saw the clock in his hand that had walked 45 minutes.
"If I found out like this, I wouldn't allow her for three hours!"
