Dans sat in a shop. He enjoyed a meal consisting of potato stew. Express indifferently. He focused on eating and ignored Suzuka who was sitting opposite of him. Don't ask why. At the moment he turned into a serious person after Sekar was brought by Zen. It's not that he's being evil, he's just being pissed. The regret of being weak and resentful for not being able to protect his people. Now, in his imagination, he thought of everything that could happen to Sekar.
The little girl named Sekar was weak and helpless, at least that was how she thought. Seeing how humans treated humans to other races, there were already bad thoughts regarding the Royal Party in Dans' mind. He thought Sekar was whipped every day and slept on the cold floor. Or he thought that the girl would be persecuted by everyone, especially Zen. He hoped that his other friends would help Sekar. Wished. That's all he can do now.
"Eat slowly, then choke" Suzuka said.
But Dans paid no attention at all. He continued to eat as fast as he could. Until something does not happen. Dans really choked. He coughed loudly many times. Enough to get customers to catch their attention. But after they found out that they were just choking, they refocused on their own business.
"Well, I told you you could choke." Suzuka drinks water on Dans. Glass filled with clear water has been there since then and actually Dans can take it himself. It was just that with her choking self, she was unfocused. "A powerful swordsman was killed in desperation. Do you want to make a comedy in history?"
Dans did it himself. He used his own hands to hold the glass. He finished the water in a glass. Dans put down the glass and said, "Sorry, I'm thinking about Sekar. I can't calm down because I keep thinking about it."
"Bas with you…." Suzuka grumbled. For days he told Dans that thinking about it would not change anything. "Listen, I've said it for the umpteenth time to you. You should be able to set your mood. I know you're upset. Even I was upset myself. But if you get caught up in depression, our training will be disrupted. What you're doing isn't being strong, you're just torturing yourself."
"Yes, I know. And I'm working on it."
"Enggah-enggih ora kepajutgi. It's just nonsense."
Not long after, Dayat came to them. He's carrying a cloth bag. The cloth bag looks deflated with an object in it showing its shape. From the outside, the formation of a flat cloth bag shows the shape of a bottle. Dayat just put the bag on the table.
"You got it?" ask Dans.
"Hehehe, of course! Who do you think I am?" Dayat pointed with her thumb pointing at him. "If I use the way I usually use it, anyway."
"Good, without our Purifying Incense it is impossible to continue on the journey" Suzuka said. "I don't think the area around Preceptor Crown Mountain turned into a swamp with poisonous miasma. Without carrying the Refining Incense, Dans would not be able to go there."
"Lucky we met a kind-hearted Alchemist expert, huh." Dayat added.
"OK, now let's go," said Dans hurriedly.
"But…."
"No, we're not going." Suzuka crossed her arms in front of her chest.
It was at Suzuka's words that they went to the inn. Not just an ordinary inn, but Suzuka chose it specifically. He chose an inn that was more comfortable to live in. Lodging with a soft mattress, soft blankets, and no noise. Anyway, he wanted to make Dans feel comfortable before the trip. Don't mind about the money. One of Dayat's abilities is to create objects that he can use to make money. Well, even though the created thing will disappear after a while.
It could be said to be cheating as well, anyway. It has already defeated the pottery that turns leaves into money. Especially if there is a currency in the form of gold, silver, and other metals. If only what is used is serial numbered banknotes, of course Dayat will not be able or very difficult to copy it. In this world, he instantly became the richest man. As long as he is not found out. If caught ready to be battered mute time.
It is so good that they create money out of nothing. Gift giving Suzuka on Dayat makes them can be more relaxed, or more or less that's what they want. Before they went up to the 2nd floor where their room was located, there was a commotion from outside the inn. It was not only the three of them who caught his attention, but other people as well. They looked outside wondering what was going on.
At first Dayat immediately wanted to go to his own room because it was none of their business what was the problem outside. But after thinking about it, make curious also to see the incident. After all his TKP was right in front of the inn. If until there are people who interfere with their rest, their leisure schedule may be disrupted.
At first, Dans was just as disinterested as Dayat. But the more he got here, the more he saw who was in trouble, the more interested he became. The person affected by the problem was one of his other classmates. He is Udin. Noticing at a glance, he felt that it was possible that this person was only similar. He was still thinking positively that Udin might be involved. Udin was not in class at the time. But to be sure, he called.
"Tam!"
Udin. He was looking for the origin of the sound. On one side, he found Dans and Dayat. Back to calling him. "Eh? You guys Dans and Dayat?" It was nice to meet a classmate. But it won't last long, because he has to overcome the problems in front of him.
The problem is simple, Udin brought Tiana to mari—to this city. The city they were in was indeed at a far corner when compared to the capital. Technology has also been underdeveloped for several years. But even so, they were still in the human domain. Not all, but there are groups of people who are very racist and conservative maintain that humans are much better than other races. As a result, when Tiana was discovered as a beastman, dozens of men in full uniform immediately surrounded them.
These men are not guards. Slayer is not all of them as well. They are a racist group who do not like other races. Moreover, if it could capture Tiana and sell her as a slave it would give her a hefty allowance. The general public would not care if a beastman was made into a slave. Reasonable. This was a power struggle in which the stronger races enslaved the weaker ones.
Well, despite having such thoughts they don't want to be oppressed.
Bothered for Dans and Dayat. They felt they could not leave Udin just like that. Unlike them, they would benefit in material form if they helped Udin, but leaving their own friends gave a trace of heartache. Plus, their enemies don't look that hard. On second thought, it was not like there would be soldiers capturing them when they were in the remote area of the city. Just help lah~.
