The Life Of Normal-Taro

Chapter 201: How about Athirappilly?

"Unfair! That's unfair!" Taro jumped up and shouted as he heard what Thankappan told.

"How would that be? If one is going out, then everyone's gonna go out. It's as simple as that." Thankappan shrugged.

"Then what if someone doesn't want to go out?" Taro asked.

"Didn't I answer that already? If one's not going, then no one's going." Thankappan replied.

"Shit You're doing this because I supported Gibli even though I don't wanna go out, right?" Taro sighed as he posed the question.

"Not really. I made this decision with a sane mind. Think about this. I can't leave youespecially YOU alone in this house. But neither can I make the others go to wherever the heck they wanna go when there's a chance that they'd end up escaping or worsegetting lost. I'm the agent responsible for all of you. There's no Lonappan here, so I'm the sole official. Hence, if I'm gonna give the permission to go out, I gotta take all of you out together. So, it isn't some petty revenge for something trivial as you think." Thankappan answered.

"You know, I'd be fine even if you are to leave me alone in here. I mean, nothing's gonna happen in here, so why ruin my night?" Taro asked.

"Man, since when did going out began to ruin your night, huh?" Thankappan asked.

"Well, ever since I learned about the pleasures of staying in and living like a sloth." Taro replied.

"Hmm, looks like you blended with this lifestyle a little too well, huh?" Thankappan looked surprised at hearing Taro's reply.

"I guess so. I really didn't have the time to appreciate what the television had to offer back in my planet, so I guess now's a good time than any to appreciate them, albeit this one being from an entirely different planet." Taro answered.

"Interesting. Good for you that you're adapting to this life this well." Thankappan gave out a thumbs up.

"Ah, you're welcome. So, how about you let me stay here and continue adapting, hmm?" Taro asked with a coy smile on his face.

"Unfortunately that's not gonna happen. I mean, even the Holy Land isn't safe from unexpected events. And that's why I want us to stick together. If something happens, we'd at least be together at that time. And if that's the case, we can always think of a solution." Thankappan spoke.

"There's no other way, huh?" Taro looked dejected as he asked.

"Other than every single one of us spending our night before the television, I don't think there's any other way" Thankappan shook his head to say no.

"Fuck." Taro silently cursed before reverting back to his original form. He just didn't know what to do.

On one hand, he could always screw everyone else and do a selfish play and make them stay at home.

While on the other hand, he could become a sport in his roommates eyes and let them all go out.

Anyhow, Taro simply didn't like going in the evil path, especially for petty cases like this. He had already decided that if he was to turn to the dark side, it's gonna be meaningful as heck and he'd literally screw over everyone in such a situation.

Taro sighed. He was about to get his verdict out, when Gibli got to his front and stared at his eyes with sadness. Those two eyes of his were desperately asking Taro to make a right decision.

And Taro wasn't one to not listen to people's pleas. "Fine. Let's go then. Where are we going then?" The Wadorian asked.

"Not planned yet. If you ask me, we should just do it without planning shit. It'll be exciting, if you ask me!" Gibli spoke, not yet over the fact that Taro actually agreed with it.

"Hell nah, man. Going to the outside without a proper plan sucks. Trust me on that. I got experience on that." Taro spoke.

"Hmm, you might just be right about that." Thankappan mumbled as he agreed with what Taro said.

"So, where are we supposed to go then?" Gibli asked to Taro.

"You really think that is a question to ask me? I mean, there's our caretaker right there and you still ask me the question?" Taro asked as he pointed towards Thankappan.

Gibli turned his attention towards the MIB agent that time around.

"So, where are we going, Mr Caretaker?" Gibli asked. He didn't mean to sound condescending, but it sure did feel that way when he said that.

"Wow, seems like I pissed someone off." Thankappan spoke as he heard Gibli.

"Oh, no. I didn't mean it like that. It just came out as condescending." Gibli tried refuting it.

"Is that so? Guess it's fine then." Thankappan didn't took much offense at the tone to begin with, so he didn't make a big deal of it.

"Great." Gibli heaved in a sigh of relief as he heard Thankappan's answer. "Okay, where are we going then?" Gibli went back to the main point of discussion.

"Where do you want to go?" Thankappan asked.

"Well, somewhere I haven't gone before. Since I can't describe such a place, you just gotta use your imagination to think of a place that's new as well as entertaining for me." Gibli spoke.

"Hmm, it's night time as well. I simply can't think of such a place for some reason. I would've suggested Athirappilly waterfalls, but I don't think it will be great at night. I've only seen the place at morning and it's heavenly at that time. But, at night" Thankappan seemed a bit hesitant to speak.

"Well, if something's good looking at the morning, it definitely would look great at night as well, right?" Gibli asked.

"Not necessarily. I've seen some guys and girls who look drop dead gorgeous at morning while look like absolute shit at night. So, there's that to consider as well." Taro spoke as he heard what Gibli said.

"Ah, well. That's people, right? I'm talking about a particular spot in here. People can fool us with their fake ass look, but not places. Once a beautiful place, it will always look beautiful, unless some asshole screws with it." Gibli spoke.

"Why does it feel like you said something smart yet it sounds extremely. Off putting?" Kunjan, who didn't care for the most part, interjected with a question of his own.

"Ah, it does leave a bad taste in all of our mouths, huh?" Taro jumped in Kunjan's bandwagon as well on that.

"I kinda have to agree with that as well." Thankappan nodded his head lightly.

"Hey! Don't belittle me like that. I can say smart things as well." Gibli cried.

"Yea, yea. We hear that." Taro patted Gibli's shoulder as he gave out a light chuckle.

"Anyway, I just searched on the internet about the waterfall you talked about. As long as we book a resort or something there, it would be fine. We can witness the place in it's full glory then. I'm not saying that we can't just waltz in like normal, but don't you think they'll think of us as some shady guys if we were to do that?" Kunjan asked.

"I guess so? I don't know man. Never went there at night." Thankappan shrugged.

"Very well. Let's just follow on with my plan then. I think that would be better if we want to keep a low profile." Kunjan replied.

"Sure. But you think there's gonna a bus to the place at this time of the night?" Taro jumped back into the conversation and asked.

"Hmm, that's a problem as well. But I believe that would be resolved if we just ask Gopan to drive us to the place." Kunjan answered.

"You know how much that's gonna take. That'll be some big bucks, my dude." Thankappan spoke.

"Well, you are the one who said that we'll go out if everyone's going. You are also the one who recommended that waterfall to us. So, don't you think you should be the one paying for the trip as well? I mean, we'll chime in a few rupees for the stay, but you gotta cough up the money for the trip." Taro exacted revenge against Thankappan with this..

Was what he thought, but the MIB agent looked really calm. He didn't particularly care if he was to pay for it. "Sure, I'll do that. Got no problem with it." Thankappan replied with a smile on his face.

"You're hiding something for sure." Taro called out on Thankappan's smile.

"Ah, glad that I wasn't the only one who felt that." Gibli spoke.

"What do you mean, guys? I don't get it!" Thankappan still had the smile as he said that.

"Oh, really? That smile That damn smile You do that when things go on your favor. Tell me, what is it?" Taro asked.

"There's nothing-" Before he could complete his sentence, Kunjan, who rarely interferes, interfered.

"Got it!" The plankton proclaimed.

"What is it?" Taro turned towards Kunjan and asked.

"The trip is gonna cost less that the stay, isn't that right, Thankappan?" Kunjan asked the MIB agent who stood there with a sly smile.
