BATTLE CRY'S

Lontara 27: The Cold War

Andros opened his eyes and the first thing he saw was Vena sleeping beside his bed.

He tried to move his body but the pain covered his entire body, when Andros was about to sit down. Uncle Ozo came to stop him.

"Don't move too much, your body is still recovering. Almost your life was lost in the last battle you know?"

Andros just clenched his hand

"It's my fault, because I'm weak. I can't protect the princess with this kind of ability. Especially since I've taken many lives, even though they are robbers but still they are also human." Andros began to feel shaken by the murder he committed.

"What you're saying, the impossible is that a snot boy could hurt a Silver Mage. Especially without using magic. And also I'm telling you this Andros, the wizarding world is a cruel world where the strong oppress the weak and If you're being naive like that then you're definitely not long-lived."

Andros was surprised that Uncle Ozo found out that he could not use magic. But he understood that he was still very naive.

Vena wakes up and asks if Andros is okay, he blames himself for getting caught but Andros says it's not Vein's fault.

"It's all this misface, if only I didn't have this face they wouldn't have caught me"

"Indeed your face is very beautiful in view, naturally they are fascinated. Aye right?" Andros glanced at Uncle Ozo who became reminded of his wife and left the room leaving Vena and Andros both. While behind her mask Vena blushed in shame, she had never been this happy when praised for her beauty.

Vena helped andros out of the village chief's house as the middlemen gathered outside, after the conquest Uncle Ozo gathered the village youth to vacate the Bandits' treasure chambers. Everything was evenly distributed to the villagers while Uncle Ozo did not ask for a penny.

When Andros came out, the villagers were all gathered in front of the house. The rescued girls face Andros and thank him.

So did their parents, after which they held a party and hosted the three warriors. Uncle Ozo was eating his food when the village chief came with a girl in a white dress.

"Sorry to interrupt when you eat Mr. Ozo" Uncle Ozo invited the village chief to sit down.

"Look, Mr. Ozo. Are you married?, If I haven't offered my daughter as a thank you for freeing this village from the group" The village chief introduced his daughter, while Uncle Ozo frowned, frowning, he had never seen this girl. The girl looked young probably around the age of thirteen or fifteen, at this age married is commonplace, no wonder if there are women who are married despite their youth.

"When the arrest, he I hid in the basement of this house to be safe. How is sir, are you willing?"

Uncle Ozo understood if there was any other purpose other than to thank the village chief. He wanted to marry his daughter so that Uncle Ozo would stay in the village and protect her.

"I am honored to have the opportunity to invite your beautiful daughter but I am a man who has married. Maybe my friend over there is interested in your offer?" Said Uncle Ozo while pointing at Andros who had difficulty putting food in his mouth.

"Sorry if so" the old man immediately moved in front of Andros. Seeing that Uncle Ozo just shook his head slowly.

Seeing Andros who had difficulty wearing chopsticks, the village chief's daughter took the chopsticks and took a piece of meat and was about to feed Andros. He becomes excited if in a match with a young man his age.

Andros welcomed the meal and thanked him, The daughter of the village chief smiled and continued to feed Andros. Seeing that atmosphere the village chief just nodded slowly and left.

"So, you're the village chief's daughter?." Andros asked while chewing his food.

"Call me, Sister Nirma. Brother Andros." Nirma answered, smiling.

"Ah, Fine. Dik Nirma" heard that Nirma smiled happily while Uncle Ozo shook his head slowly because he had noticed the two of them.

Andros was still enjoying his food when he felt his hair goosebumps, he turned his gaze towards the arrival of the uncomfortable feeling.there Vena who was carrying a plate of dishes staring at Andros coldly. Uncle Ozo saw the incident and stroked his chin.

'Hm.. It will be interesting' said Uncle Ozo while improving his sitting position.

"Hi, Vein. Let's sit with us" Andros said with a smile, in his heart he felt goosebumps. He knew that Vena's mood was not good but Andros did not know what caused it.

Veins sat with an unpleasant aura.

With a cold sweat Andros introduced Nirma but Nirma first introduced himself.

"I'm Nirma, the only princess of Puppet village chief. Thank you for the help you gave" Nirma smiled but only Vena realized that the smile was a sign of war.

'aw, why are you Vena?' Andros did not dare to put out his words but only smiled wryly.

"It seems that Brother Andros' wound is very severe." In a sympathetic tone Nirma said as she stroked Andros' right thigh.

A completely different sensation between his right and left thighs.

"Sir Andros, Isn't this meat delicious?. Open mouth... Aaaaa" Nirma thrust out the meat-filled chopsticks. Andros carefully ate the meat, but Vein immediately scooped up the soup and fed Andros.

"This warm soup will help your recovery process" has not finished chewing it directly in forced to eat the soup.

"Hey, brother Andros. Which is more delicious?" Nirma asked in a sweet voice.

Andros looked at Nirma's sparkling smile and turned his gaze to Vein, who looked like he was waiting for her answer.

Andros gulped and then quivered with a quiver to answer.

"Nurma.." Andros immediately caught a sad look on Nirma's face. "I mean Dik Nirma.." instantly Nirma's face brightened. While the Veins started to grumble inwardly.

"Sorry Dik Nirma, Vein soup is more delicious" Andros said with a wry smile Andros spoke like that, he did not want to lure the Lion from his cage. The girl's face became tangled and then it was like she had the idea of returning.

"So so.. DIK Nirma food is less delicious." He deliberately emphasized his pronunciation of the word Dik in order to lure Veins. And the bad thing is that Vea caught the bait.

"Hey, Andros. From now on call me Dik Vena."

Nirma was happy to have his bait eaten, he had expected this while Uncle Ozo was there guessing what Nirma was planning while stroking his chin.

"Ep... It's not that you're two years older than me" on target, Nirma's guess is very appropriate if Vein is older than Andros.

"Then call me Big Brother" Vena said that quickly.

"Be well" Andros stammered.

But Vena thinks back, in a relationship that men usually call women with the name of sister though younger. That means if Andros calls him brother means their relationship is not special only limited to brother and sister. He realized that his position did not benefit from staring in annoyance at Nirma who closed his mouth while laughing.

Uncle Ozo understood what was happening laughing out loud whereas Andros was very uncomfortable with this situation could only sit while sweating coldly. He did not understand what these two girls were doing.

"Ah, then no need" snorted Vena.

'Oh, this is creepy. Someone help me!!' jerit Andros in heart.

While at the desks of the village youths they started to complain. They think the same thing, which is the pleasure of being Andros.

"Say is good ..."

"Huh, just be jealous"

"I also want to fight for a pretty girl!"

The young men began to complain, If Andros heard that he would definitely hit their heads with a stone.
