Chapter 102 A perfect art in the eyes of the other.
Klaus smiled. "I was just thinking that the country might soon be chaotic."
"Oh? What makes you think that?"
"The government is trying to bite off more than it can chew. Independent knowledge and private wealth normally sustain a nation like this, but somehow, they are trying to take them under their wings by force. Chaos will ensue if it goes on like this."
She was surprised. "You have good ears, Klaus. I thought the subject of them attacking private industry was a secret subject, but I see it's not so secret."
Klaus looked at her and smiled. "Well, I have contacts. Are you here to investigate that? As I understand it, you're not from these parts."
She shook her head. "I'm not from here, but I'm not here to investigate that, although maybe it might have something to do with our mission. I'm here to investigate the recent dimensional anomaly when the dimensions were broken." She revealed this without concern, and at her response, Klaus looked at her in shock for a brief moment before returning to his usual self.
"I see. You've made a bit of a fuss about that among those upstairs. It seems that even people so far away have been affected by it." He replied without revealing much more.
Jasmine felt thoughtful but said nothing. She averted her gaze and sat down on a nearby bench before speaking again.
"Do you plan to do anything when the country becomes chaotic?"
"Maybe." He replied and sat down next to her.
"What do you plan to do?"
"Money."
"Money?" She looked at him again, confused.
"Yes. This world is complex, Jasmine." He smiled. "The complexity of having power is that it attracts problems, and sometimes problems can overcome you to the point where one of them could become your last day."
"Oh, I see. Make money and get power to overcome those problems, right?"
"Could be, hahaha." He laughed good-naturedly. "Or maybe I just want to make trouble. I want to have enough of a voice to show one of my discoveries and it can reach the far corners of the world, the ears of the greatest. Then trouble will tell me if I'm really alive or if it's just an illusion."
Jasmine looked at him strangely and sighed helplessly.
"Sometimes I think you're a little crazy." She said, not holding back her thoughts.
Klaus laughed.
"I think so too, don't you like it?"
She averted her gaze and blushed a little.
"I don't think I dislike it. Sometimes, it takes a little madness to enjoy life."
Klaus stared at her in surprise and wanted to tease her a little.
"Are you saying that sometimes you need a little bit of me to enjoy life? Are you flirting with me?" he asked, looking astonished.
Jasmine felt stunned when she heard his words. She hadn't expected what she had said to be flipped to convenience like that, so even though she was red, she quickly turned to him to complain.
"Don't change my words; I just said a little crazy!" she snarled. But, she hadn't realized that her characteristic aura wasn't with her, so the little cry came across as a more tender and meaningless complaint than as a real complaint.
That unleashed a small wave of laughter in Klaus. "Hahahahahaha..." He couldn't help himself and spread his laughter to Jasmine, who ended up averting her gaze, because of how flushed she was.
It wasn't until 10 minutes later that Klaus stopped laughing and looked up at the night sky, remaining silent for several minutes.
"Does it relax you to look at the night sky?" Jasmine asked.
Klaus nodded and took off his glasses and everything he wore on top.
"Yes. The cloudless night sky is one of the greatest arts. No painting has ever matched the splendor of its beauty nor the magnitude of its understanding. No one can capture the true essence of the sky on such a small piece of paper. I have never seen anything like it. Seeing it is what has kept me going for so long. It is a precious art, possibly nothing like it will ever appear." He smiled and relaxed deeply.
Jasmine nodded a little towards him, trying to understand his words, which could not have simple meanings. But, in doing so, she also had to take off her glasses.
It was a small movement that attracted Klaus' attention, so he turned his head towards her.
Just then, the two of them again had a cross look.
It was simple.
It was beautiful.
It was art.
Klaus was suddenly rooted in the deep, pure, perfect gaze of an entity whose beauty rivaled or surpassed the night sky's. He felt a deep and strange connection, but it surprised him.
It was not a gaze that lasted long, but it was a moment so beautiful that Klaus could understand that the possibility of containing perfection in something so small was possible.
And it didn't last long because Jasmine quickly averted her gaze to the night sky.
She was stunned after looking at the sky, and when she turned her head to look at Klaus again, he was already looking at the sky again. Still, his beautiful purple eyes were before her gaze.
While she had a profile look at him, that perfection she had seen a moment ago, and his words made her understand what he meant, so she smiled.
'The perfection of the night sky is in your eyes, Klaus. That unique perfection belongs to you and is uniquely yours. In your own words, are you art?' she thought, smiling softly.
They both found perfection in the same moment, but both did not believe that the other had found that perfection in the other's eyes.
It was an open secret written in each other's eyes, a secret to which the moon and the stars they admired were witnesses.
The evening passed gently. After talking about silly and casual things for a while, Jasmine went back to where she was staying and Klaus to his apartment.
They each had things to think about, and the next day could be a long day for both of them, so they wanted to rest.
Even more so Klaus, who was getting closer and closer to specializing his ring. If all went well, he could do it this week before considering whether he should do the mission Ronan gave.
