"But Gojo wants to cook lunch. It's too bad to leave him alone. No one will eat any more."
"Mc ...." Ken thought for a moment. "How about we just help him in the kitchen, to get to work fast. Lunch soon anyway. If we wait for him to cook alone, it's not gonna be finished."
Mmm, from that cake, the inner man was upset. He smiled as Ken and Mira came to help. Mira helps cut the meat into small pieces while Ken cuts vegetables. In an instant everything had been inside the fireplace as it was being cooked. The Japanese man also helped cook the rice, so Gojo could concentrate on cooking the side dish. Before long all the dishes were finished and they ate together.
"Gojo are you okay, right at home alone? I want to go with Mira to the market" Ken said, scooping rice into his bowl.
"No papa, just go. I also want to find a girlfriend," said the gondrong man arrogantly.
Gojo's words made Ken laugh. "Eagerly, Gojo. I support you."
After lunch, the two left. They had to cross the river to get there. Mira sat on the raft and the man stood up. Ken noticed the surrounding scenery that felt still beautiful and far from civilization.
Environment like this if in my time must be exploited for tourist attractions. Though the authenticity of a place like this is better than the civilization that brings air pollution later. Hotels, lodges, playgrounds, then mansions and in an instant, this place will be a small, isolated town. Hufh, man ....
Ken saw something moving in the water. "What's that?" ask the man who owns the raft.
"Oh, crocodile."
"What?" Ken's panicking. "Mira, you don't sit there. The danger!"
"Eh, it's okay, as long as we don't approach it," said the raft's owner calmly.
However, the Japanese man could be calm. He immediately made the girl stand up and clasped her hands until the raft reached its intended place. The raft owner only caught a glimpse of how Ken was holding the woman's hand with a worried face.
"Eh, thank you, sir." The Japanese paid their wages.
Both continue their journey. It did not take long, they found a market that was still crowded even though the sun was no longer hot. They went to the clothing store and looked around. Ken is interested in fine clothes. He touched. "Oh, what a nice outfit this is."
"Oh, these clothes are quite expensive, yes" the seller told Ken. He sees Ken and Mira dressed only modestly.
"I want this."
"But, is your money enough? Price ...."
The Japanese man immediately put down a gold coin whose writings and images he had melted. Mira was even surprised to see the coin with no pictures and no writing at all.
"Hows it? Enough, right?"
"Eh, cu-enough," replied the saleswoman stammering. "Master can even buy some." The woman immediately showed some other fine clothes to the two. Mira tries one of them and it leaves Ken stunned. The young lady looked extremely beautiful, like a royal princess.
"Where do you think you want? This one's good too." The man did not want to turn his face away from the beautiful scenery in front of him.
"This lady is very pretty, so she looks like she shines when she wears it" the seller praised.
"Yes, right," Ken said involuntarily.
Mira blushed to hear the praise of the two. His cheeks were red with a timid look. "It's up to the big brother" he said spoiledly.
"Eh, how about we buy some?"
Ken even bought the woman a few pairs of shoes, making her recall when she was a child. The man never forgot to buy him shoes. An object that he finally had after each envious time saw the brothers in the orphanage have shoes.
"How, Mira?"
"Like," replied the woman a little spoiled. Shortly after shopping, they went home. He then put on the clothes at home trying to show it off to Gojo. "Good no?"
"Good." The gentleman nodded.
The Japanese man smiled broadly. Suddenly the sound of the door being knocked. Ken wants Gojo to look at each other. They did not expect guests but who knew them in that place until coming to visit?
In order to dispel the curiosity, Gojo immediately opened the door. "Oh ...." He's flabbergasted.
"Who, Gojo?" Ken and Mira's gaze blocked the door that opened inward. When it opened wide, the two could see who was coming.
Mira who was surprised to see who came, immediately took off her embrace on Ken.
"Ejiro?" ken was surprised.
Ejiro of course saw the scene earlier but he instead smiled obliquely. "You weren't expecting my presence?" ketus tanyanya.
"Oh, not of course." Ken immediately pulled out a dining table chair not far from there.
Gojo gives way and Mira goes straight to the kitchen. He prepares tea. They were busy entertaining the man. Ejiro just wants to talk to Gojo while Ken just resigned as a listener.
"How's life here? Pretty fun, isn't it?" asked the older brother Mira to his subordinates while pulling off his long robe.
"Oh, yes, yes. Very delightful. Howwasyourjourney? Did you stop by somewhere else?"
"Oh, yes. I had a chance to meet the blue sword king, Han and chat with him before I got here. And the talk is quite pleasant until we reach the word consensus and make a covenant."
"Hope the deal is good?"
"Oh, yes. Thank you." Thank you." Ejiro saw Mira coming in with the clothes earlier, quite surprised. Mira was wearing very nice clothes and was serving her tea.
"Your clothes are great. Who bought it?"
"Oh, Ken's brother bought it, brother."
"Mk." The brother looked at Ken. "Thank you."
"Ah, it's okay. As her brother, I have to give her my best."
"really?" Ejiro smiled slanted like a sneer. "That means you'll support my next plan. Me and the Han king have agreed to marry Mira to the Han king's son, Siau Yang."
"What?" Ken's surprised.
Mira who had just pulled the tub, dropped it instantly on the floor. Like being struck by lightning, the woman was shocked to hear it.
"Rather than she goes into obscure places, it is better to live in a safe place with a husband who can protect her. Isn't that right, Ken? You know what's best for her, right? A family."
Ken glanced at Mira. "Eh, yes."
Mira was disappointed at that time. Ken didn't even hold it. Take the tray that fell to the floor with a sad face down. After the man struggles to convince her to stay together, he takes off the responsibility he was holding back from the start just because his older brother Ejiro wants to take on that responsibility. The woman was really disappointed.
"Ok, no need to take time. I'm actually taking Mira right now because the party is waiting for our arrival as soon as possible. Come on Mira, wait a minute? Quickly pack your things!" ejiro.
Mira glanced at Ken who looked puzzled.
