Bamboo Flute Swordsman

Chaptre 39. Introducing Yourself

"Who are they?" asked Ki Jagad Roso who saw his sister bring two strangers to his residence.

"Later I'll explain Kang, now let us enter first.."

Ki Jagad Roso then took them all to the back room. In the room there are several rattan chairs and wooden poles in the middle of the room. The intruder Jaka was carrying was tied to the wooden pole, while the little boy who was about to become a kidnap victim was seated in a rattan chair. Not forgetting Jaka took off the totokan that was on the little boy's neck.

"This is Banu, Ki Slamet's son. How can you be with you?" Ki Jagad Roso asked in astonishment, then he grabbed the body of the boy who again began to feel afraid. After being hugged by Ki Jagad Roso, the boy named Banu looked calmer.

Wirabumi who wanted to tell her all the things that had happened for a moment looked at Jaka like he wanted to ask for approval, Jaka who seemed to understand the gesture immediately nodded his head.

Wirabumi then explained the events that occurred in detail, starting from his pursuit of two intruders, his meeting with Jaka, to Jaka's fight that managed to subdue the two intruders.

Ki Jagad Roso who listened to Wirabumi's explanation occasionally nodded his head in understanding, then he looked at Jaka with full investigation, "Aren't you the young man who just arrived yesterday afternoon?"

Jaka nodded then smiled, "And I am also the young man you suspect.."

Ki Jagad Roso who has learned of his mistake immediately apologized to Jaka, "Pardon our attitude if it has offended the master swordsman." said Ki Jagad Roso while lowering his head.

"Forget it, I don't take heart anyway. There is much more important." replied Jaka while staring intently at the intruder who had come to his senses from his stupor.

Jaka wants to interrogate the intruder in front of him, but before that Jaka takes the mysterious object that is in between the intruder's teeth.

"The poison was right my guess." muttered Jaka.

After successfully eliminating the very dangerous poison, Jaka began to interrogate the intruder. It took a long time to get the information Jaka wanted. The intruder always refused to give information, he would rather die than provide information that is confidential.

After four hours, Jaka managed to get some information. This information is not easy Jaka get, Jaka needs to use several ways to open the mouth of the intruder. After getting the desired information, Jaka kills the intruder.

All those who saw Jaka's actions were just silent motionless, not daring to prevent let alone oppose. Moreover, after seeing directly the way Jaka introgasi, making them even more afraid of the figure of the young man in front of them.

"It's dangerous if the intruder we let go, it could be that he foiled my plan to attack their nest" Jaka said after seeing the changes in the faces of those around him.

"Who exactly is this master swordsman?" Ki Jagad Roso asked Jaka.

"My name is Jaka, I'm a wanderer, people call me a Bamboo Flute Swordsman. Besides that I am also a Senopati of the West Matraman Kingdom."

"Jederr.." as if there were thunder in the ears of Ki Jagad Roso and Wirabumi when he heard the confession of the young man standing before them. Previously it had been reported that His Majesty King Angga had appointed a new senopati, but Ki Jagad Roso never suspected that the new senopati turned out to be very young.

“Ampun. forgive us Gusti Senopati. We really don't know.." Ki Jagad Roso said stuttering, then dropped to his knees in respect which was also followed by Wirabumi.

Jaka who witnessed it immediately helped Ki Jagad Roso and Wirabumi to stand, "No need to hesitate Ki." he said.

Ki Jagad Roso then told Wirabumi to bury the body of the intruder, and deliver Banu to go home. While Ki Jagad Roso invites Jaka to the living room. In the living room, Ki Jagad Roso entertains Jaka with various dishes and sweet wine.

"Once again thank you for the help of Gusti Senopati." said Ki Jagad Roso.

"No need to hesitate Ki, it has become my duty." replied Jaka.

But again Ki Jagad Roso said a lot of imaksih. Jaka just shook his head to make it, then gulped down the wine he had poured into the bronze glass.

In the interior of the forest called Prohibition Forest, there was a fairly large building. Around it stood also smaller buildings, if calculated the number may amount to five small buildings.

Inside the largest building, it appears that someone is kneeling facing a chair that resembles a royal throne.

On the chair was a man wearing a black robe covering his head, and the man wore a yellow mask on his face.

From the stature of his body that was seen to stand out in several parts, indicating that the person was a woman. The woman was disappointed that her members had failed to carry out their duties.

“Who was the one who foiled our plan?

"Nyi, the alleged servant was the same person who had destroyed our member's headquarters at the top of Buah Batu Hill."

"Are you sure?"

"It's pretty sure Nyi. The servant has twice almost caught the man."

"Alright, tighten the guard around the entrance. My gut tells me that person will sooner or later patronize our territory."

"Okay Nyi, I'll do it.."

Jaka who had managed to find out the nest of the Black Cloak Group immediately moved towards the Prohibition Forest. The forest was not too far from the border of the West Matraman Kingdom with North Matraman, it might take a day trip from the present location of Jaka.

"Thank you for driving me." said Jaka, patting Wirabumi on the shoulder.

"It is the duty of Gusti Senopati's servant.."

"Now go back to the village, from here I will move on my own."

"But Gusti... "

Wirabumi was silent for a moment, he hoped to be invited in Jaka's fight this time, but it seems the sky has not allowed. "Alright Gusti, be careful.."

Jaka smiled and jumped away, so quickly Jaka at a glance looks like a white shadow in Wirabumi's eyes. "His science is awesome." he murmured.

Jaka continued the journey carefully, worried that his movements would be known to the enemy. Not infrequently Jaka stopped briefly observing the surrounding area, after it was felt safe Jaka continued the journey.

After a long day, Jaka had arrived at the edge of the Prohibition Forest. The forest was so quiet, even the sound of birds was barely audible.

Jaka stepped into the forest, step by step. Silent.

Jaka was about to go deeper, but there was a streak of silvery light rushing towards him.

"Tring.. "
