Building an Entertainment Business Kingdom In Another World

Episode 4 (DO NOT WANT TO LOSE

I saw my friends playing cheerfully, whereas I could only look at them blankly. I still haven't accepted any of this, it's all too soon to be true.

“Being weak is painful isn't it? You cannot protect the people you love. You have to be strong, your life will be more difficult without Mahesa”, Mr. Einhard said then, rubbing my head and neck

“Hm”, I can only mumble and nod my head because I can't say anything. It was so painful, my chest felt so tight that I could not say a word about yesterday's events. Then I asked about the strange incident I felt yesterday to distract me from my pain, “Pak Einhard, why yesterday I felt everything slowed down when I was attacked by Hound?”

“Listen to my words, you must promise not to use and tell others about your power. If you break, the result is that you will be in danger”, Mr. Einhard pointed his body at me then looked at me with a sharp gaze. I unconsciously agreed to his orders. Then he said, “At this time your name is Sailendra Parikesit son of Mahesa Parikesit”

“No, I don't want to. My name is Syailendra Mahesvara son of Mahesa Mahesvara”, I got out of my seat and refused his request. I think this is really outrageous, throwing out the surname is tantamount to breaking off the blood ties.

Mr. Einhard looked at me with a sharp look, as if he wanted to kill me. I don't know what got into me, I have the strength to look back at his eyes as if to challenge him. Then, he suddenly sighed then lay down on the front yard of the school terrace and muttered, “Hah looks like today will be very tiring”

It doesn't feel like night has come. Tonight, the mother only cooked bread with salt mixed water to remove the bland taste. Now I realize that living without the presence of a head of the family would make our situation this difficult.

After dinner, suddenly someone knocked on our house. I followed mom from behind to see who came to visit our house. It turns out he was Mr. Einhard.

Mr. Einhard looked at me for a moment and then turned his eyes to my mother and said, “Alika, there is something I want to talk to you”

“Andra, go to the room and close the door”, mother seemed to understand with the gesture given to her, then told me to go to the room.

“Good bu”, I replied. Then go to the room.

I don't know what I'm talking about with Mr. Einhard. The conversation did not last long. Mom opened my bedroom door a few moments later and said, "Come on, come with me”.

I followed my mother from behind, and it turned out that Mr. Einhard was still sitting in our house seat.

“What's bu?”, I asked mom.

“From now on your name is Syailendra Parikesit son of Mahesa Parikesit”, replied the mother.

“What's mom? I don't want to, lest this is what Einhard's mom and dad talked about. What if dad lives and looks for us ma'am . What I will say when I meet he”

I refused mother's request. In this world a family name is the only thing that is very valuable. Changing the family name means breaking the blood ties with them. I think this is something crazy, are you planning on removing your father from our lives? Then what if Dad's still safe and looking for us. We will never meet forever.

“Your father is dead”, replied the mother in tears.

“The body has not been found ma'am, there is a possibility that father is still alive”, I tried to deny mother's answer.

“This is a sign that father has died”, mother said while showing father's dagger.

“What?”, I asked as if in disbelief, meaning that father was already planning to die. Without noticing that I shed tears, it means that I am the one who caused my father to die.

Mother hugged me sobbing as she said, “This is a once-in-a-lifetime request from mother to you. For this time only follow the words of ibu”.

“Good bu”, I replied.

“Sorry if I interrupt your time, I have to go”, Mr. Einhard said as he got up from his chair.

“Alright, thank you Einhard”, replied the mother as she wiped her tears and drove Mr. Einhard to the front door of the house.

And the three of us closed the night.

*****

This was my first time being in Blacksmith's father alone, though dirty yet neat looking. The dust in the combustion furnace looks scattered, I think it is a natural thing, as hard as cleaning it will definitely remain. In addition there are firewood, a fire blower and an axe to cut firewood.

In the middle of the room there is an iron where the father forged and beside it there is a water reservoir to cool the burning of iron. I also saw a shelf filled with various kinds of iron that I had not been able to use.

It doesn't feel like everything's done. Right now I only have 20 bullets, the sign is I only have 20 chances to shoot.

I have three reasons why using this handgun would be a tough decision. First, I don't have money to pay people. Second, I don't have anyone I can trust to make this. And lastly, even though I have the materials, I have no forging ability.

After finishing filling my bullets with gunpowder, I decided to go to the edge of the forest near the village alone. I think around here is the safest place from the rampage of the citizens and the monster attacks.

Finally arrived. I tried to point my handgun in the air and try to pull the trigger. Why does it feel so hard? Does this not work? No, nothing is broken yet.

Then I looked at my handgun while lamenting my fate. After I observed it, I forgot to remove the safety lock. Damn for being so excited I did such a ridiculous act.

After I removed the safety lock, I pointed my handgun towards the sky and pulled the trigger.

Dor…

The sound of gunfire clashed loudly, making the birds fly into the air. My ears were buzzing because they were not used to the sound. Really loud.

I saw a rabbit about 10 meters from me. I aimed my shot at the rabbit.

Dor…

The rabbit was shot in the heart and died instantly.

Suddenly I saw some people coming towards me. They use complete equipment.

“Andra, what sound just now?”, an old man said to me.

“I don't know. I came here because I heard that sound”, I replied.

I lied because I was sure that adults would never believe a child's words, especially if it didn't make sense to them.

When school was about to arrive, I rushed back home with my rabbit. I imagined how happy my mother would be when she found out that her son was good at hunting.

“Mother, mother”, I shout calling mom

“What son, why are you screaming so early?”

“Look what this is ma'am, I got it in the forest near the village using the weapon that dad made me”, I said while showing my rabbit.

Bukk…

Suddenly mother clicked my head, I saw the look in her eyes were really sharp. It seems like he is really angry. Shit, I forgot I was just a 7-year-old. Moreover, no one dared to go into the forest early in the morning like this.

“Aduh”, I complain of pain

“As for the foolish child are you tired of living”, mother said to me glaring and put her hand on her waist

“I'm sorry I”, I answered mother's statement with a languid bow.

“Will I forgive but you have to promise that you won't do it again”

“Good ma'am, but mother must accept my gift in”, I nodded in agreement to mother's words and then directed my rabbit catch to mother.

“Alright, mommy accept. Thank you nak”

Then she accepted my rabbit and the conversation closed my morning with my mother
