Junta & Wizarding World
#25 Days Relax
“Are you ready for Kou?”
“Since the beginning we did not bring much stuff Sister..”.
“I take that as a yes” answer
Junta came out of his room and went to the door of his room with Kou.
“Zonya, we have to continue the journey”
Junta knocked on the door 2 times.
“Zonya, are you awake? Hey”
Junta knocked on the door again, this time 3 times.
“I think he's still sleeping”
“What will we do now Kou?”
“We sleep again?”
“Uh.. I don't think it's an option”
“How about we take a walk in the city? It's a little afternoon which means all the stores must have opened”
“Do you want to find something? We don't have money you don't forget right?”
“We can explore the existing stores, or if Big Brother is not comfortable with that we can walk on the city streets and look around, or, we will never know what information the people of” have
“Alright, there is no harm in walking around the city while waiting for Zonya to wake”
Kou and Junta started to descend from the stairs and walked out of the inn.
Outside is very crowded, a lot of people are busy with their respective activities.
Someone was screaming at the podium.
Some argue while carrying a meal.
There were also those who sat quietly while drinking something.
Honestly, the Junta thinks that the city is a little more crowded than the royal capital where Queen Rana lives.
“If I recall what happened during our coming into this world, wouldn't the two of us never relax together like this Kou? Take a walk on the streets to look around”
“Yes.. Brother is right, after we came to this world we were almost punished for a crime we did not commit, we dueled with a general from another kingdom to save a rabbit queen, who was, then we join the association because we have no money, and just yesterday we were chased by one of the organizations that is not clear”
“You forgot the part you were sick of, as long as I was guarding you I just walked around the palace like a soldier on patrol to spend my time, oh and you forgot my part duel with Hako”
Kou just laughed.
“I feel relaxed like this even if just for a moment is not bad”
“Isn't that what our Father always said Sister?”
“Contact as long as it doesn't hurt you?”
“Ya more or less so.. I also forgot the actual sentence how, after all I do not consider this a completely leisurely walk, I still put my eyes and ears to capture all the information that we might need later”
“You did your best, remember not to force yourself”
“I know it”
They walked through the crowd in the city, looking at the buildings and community activities there.
After walking for quite a while on the crowded city streets, Junta realizes something, namely Kou is no longer behind him.
After taking a look around, the Junta found Kou looking over the weapons placed on the ground with a cloth mat, there was a young woman guarding the weapons.
“You really like disappearing ya Kou”
“Oh, Brother, didn't I tell you I wanted to go here?”
“I didn't hear it, so, why are you here?”
“See these various weapons Sisak”
The junta looked at the weapons placed on the ground, it was true that there were all sorts of weapons sold there.
“Are you interested in buying it?”
“Rather than being said to be interested in buying, I am more interested in matching the wound of the corpse with one of the weapons that are here”
“You still want to investigate?”
“Who knows we can find another important information if we know the murder weapon, maybe we can learn the fighting style of the organization called The Finger it”
Junta only scratched his head in confusion, but Junta felt that that was his sister Kou, Kou became an information specialist not without reason.
“How about this weapon Brother?”
Kou picked up a very small blade, even Junta felt that the blade could easily be broken if he wanted to.
“I don't think”
“Hmm.. “
Kou put the weapon back where it belongs.
“To be honest Kou, I feel there is no weapon that matches the wound of the corpse here”
Kou looked a little disappointed after hearing that from his older brother.
“Alright, let's continue our journey Brother”
The two of them walked back on the crowded city streets, not far away they walked from where the weapons were, Junta and Kou were approached by someone.
“Good day and may the queen of Zokavia give protection to you”
“Uh... Do you need anything from our old pack?”
“Will you listen to my story about the savior woman of this world who is the queen of Zokavia?”
Kou slightly tugged at the Junta robe as if hinting at something.
“Uh... I don't think so, my sister and I should go now”
When Junta and Kou wanted to leave, the old man got in their way.
“This story will not take much of your time, and also, you will be amazed by the kindness and generosity of the queen of Zokavia!”
“No no, thank you”
Junta and Kou immediately left when the old man let his guard down.
The crowd in this city is very helpful if you want to run from someone, for example just like the old man.
“What exactly did the old man do?”
”Which obviously it's not a good thing Brother, maybe it's some kind of flow of trust here”
“We have indeed heard from Zonya that Zokavia is a great kingdom, but is it really that great?”
Since the Junta did not get an answer from Kou, the Junta turned its head back, and of course Kou was not there.
This time Kou was approaching a blacksmith, Junta could only sigh and start chasing after Kou.
“So, what attracted you this time?”
“How they make weapons”
“Welcome! Do you need to fix your weapons?”
“No, we just want to browse the weapons that are here”
“You guys came at the right time!”
The blacksmith man took out a large sword that was close to the burning embers.
“This is the sword that I just repaired, I got it from a traveling merchant who said that this sword is an old artifact of the Zokavia” kingdom
“Zokavia again..”
The junta involuntarily said it too loudly.
On the other hand, Kou raised the sword high with both hands, he was seen examining the sword he was grasping meticulously.
“It looks like you guys look very understanding about weapons, are you one of the Association members?”
“Yes, that is, by the way sorry uncle, looks like you were tricked by the merchant who gave you this”
Kou returned the sword to the blacksmith's man.
“I already know, there is no way an artifact sword can be sold for a cheap price, I still buy it even though I know it is not an artifact sword because this sword is quite good”
“I won't deny that, this sword is indeed a nice”
“By the way can you help me, I want you to hand this letter to the receptionist who is in the Association” building
“Oh, we have no problem with that, but my brother and I just arrived in this city yesterday, so we don't know the direction to the Association building.”.
“That's easy, you just follow the road behind you and keep going straight, you will find the Association building at the end of this road”
“Oh, alright, is there anything else?”
The blacksmith man handed a letter to Kou.
“Just tell me that this letter is from someone named Fang”
“Alright, Brother, let's go”
Junta and Kou walked towards the road that the iron panda man had pointed out earlier, the road that the Junta and Kou were going through this time was a little different from the road earlier.
This street was a little less crowded, very much different from the streets that Junta had been through, although here there were also shops, but all the shops looked deserted.
It did not take long, Junta and Kou had already reached the Association building, it turned out that the building was not far from the crowded street.
When the Junta entered the building, the Junta saw a familiar figure standing in front of the reception desk.
“Zonya? What are you doing here?”
“Oh Junta, and also Kou,”
“I think you're still sleeping in your room”
“Huh? I woke up from Kou”
“If you've been awake since, why didn't you wake us?”
“I've woken you Junta, but you guys didn't respond to me even after 10 minutes I knocked on your door”
“I think we're even, so, what are you doing here?”
“I was reporting yesterday's incident to the Association”
“For what? You want to ask the Association for help?”
“No, I just told the Association this matter as information, maybe the important people in the Association could make good use of this information”
“By the way where is the person guarding this receptionist?”
“He will be back in a minute”
Sure enough, a woman appeared from behind a door not visible to the Junta.
“Excuse me, I have a letter for you lady, from someone named Fang”
“Oh, thank you, I did not think that this letter was delivered by someone else”
“How? Did you find that information?”
“Sorry Zonya but I didn't receive any report on that, your report this is the first report that touched on the issue of The Finger”
“Association will make good use of this information”
“Junta, Kou, let's go”
His zone went out of the Association building followed by Junta and Kou.
“Are we going to continue our journey now Zonya?”
“Of course Junta, after all while you are sleeping, I found a traveling merchant who wants to take us to Polski” village
“Oh! That's nice! we don't need to walk anymore”
“Only there are problems that we have to deal with before we can leave”
“I hope the problem is not too difficult?”
“The traveling merchant carriage drawer lizard is sick, and he does not understand what is really going on with his lizard, the merchant is willing to drive us to Polski village if we can find a cure for his lizard it”
“Cadal?”
Kou asked who
“That's easy, we just need to go to someone who can make us medicine for the beast”
“That's what I'm thinking now Junta, and now we're walking to sana”
“By the way it hurts, has the traveling merchant tried to find a cure for his lizard?”
“She said she didn't find someone who could make medicine for her lizard, but I know someone in this town she might not have visited”
While walking, Kou tugged on his sister's little back shirt, making it public that he needed to talk to her.
“What's Kou?”
The junta asked in a very slow tone.
“Did I not hear wrong? A lizard? The zonya said the lizard was, right?”
“You didn't hear wrong, and I completely understand what you think”
The journey of Junta and Kou is not expected to be quite time-consuming, the distance from the Association building to the old green building is quite far even though it is still in one city.
The building stands on a very quiet street, even away from the crowd, the building has green walls, the roof is red and on the door of the building there is a picture of a tree.
After following Zonya into the building, Junta was greeted with a pungent smell.
“Agh! What is this smell?!”
Junta said that while covering his nose.
“This? This is the smell of Junta drugs, you've never smelled it?”
“this is more like the smell of a bunch of dead mice than a drug!”
“Welcome, can I help you?”
Coming out of nowhere, a tall young lady suddenly appeared from behind the Junta.
”Do you own this herbal store?”
Kou asked the woman.
“You want to find a cure? You came in the right place!”
“Do you have medicine for sick lizards?”
Zonya started the conversation.
“Did you bring the blood sample?”
His zone took something from under his cloak, and gave the bottle filled with green liquid to the shop owner's woman.
“Wait a minute ya”
The woman went to a door not far from where the Junta stood, this store was not a big one, in front of the entrance, but a big one, there was a long table on which there were many bottles of various colors, next to the long table was a staircase leading to the top, then beside the entrance was another door and that was where the woman had left, there are also a lot of cabinets in the closet that there are various objects that Junta and Kou have never seen.
While waiting for the shopkeeper woman to return, Junta and Kou looked around.
“Kakak, check this”
The junta approached Kou and saw a small bottle of gravel that looked like a crystal.
“It.. Crystal stone?”
“Junta, Kou, don't touch anything here”
Junta stopped his hand that was about to touch the small bottle.
“Trust me, when I come to the drugstore, herb shop, or whatever you call this store, you will not want to touch the objects that are here”
“What can these objects explode?”
“That is a possibility, the objects that are here are a mixture of dangerous objects and ordinary objects, so, rather than you touching something that is not known to be dangerous, it is, you better shut up and don't touch anything”
“Alright, alright I understand, Kou don't touch anything”
And Kou did not hear Zonya's words.
“Kou?!”
“Calm Zonya, look, I'm holding this bottle and nothing happened”
“Don't I tell you?! Here is a mixture of dangerous objects and ordinary objects, touching carelessly can make you thrown away from here because of an explosion or maybe other bad things!”
“Okay okay forgive me, I just want to see the contents of this bottle more clearly”
“It was a bottle of healing medicine”
Suddenly the woman came out of nowhere and answered Kou's curiosity.
“Unfortunately the drug was not finished I developed, so for now the drug still does not have any effect”
“Curer medicine yes, how to use it?”
“Just drop the medicine into your wound and done, your wound will heal no matter how severe it is”
“It looks like this is an expensive drug..”.
Kou put the bottle back in its place.
“By the way the medicine problem for your lizard, I can make it, it's just that I'm lacking in ingredients, if you guys can give me some rainbow mushrooms then I can finish the medicine today”
“Rainbow mushroom yes, hmmm, fine, we will find it for you”
Without saying another word, Zonya went out of the building, Junta and Kou were still complacent with looking at the medicine that was there so they did not realize that Zonya was gone, they rushed after Zonya after the shopkeeper lady told them.
“Zonya, why did you leave without telling us?”
“Didn't my voice be clear enough that I was leaving? I thought you guys listened to it”
“So, where can we get this mushroom?”
“In the forest that is beside this city Kou, rainbow mushrooms are very rare in the market, especially the market in this city, so the other way is we have to look for it ourselves”
“If the mushroom is in the forest right next to this city, then why is it rarely in the market? Would people be able to pick it up on their own because the environment in which the fungus grew was so close?”
“That is one of the reasons, another reason is because the mushroom is poisonous and inedible, only people who like to concoct medicine take the mushroom, and usually, it is, the medicine concocters preferred to take their medicinal ingredients directly from nature, not infrequently they also placed a request for the Association members to accompany them to take those ingredients”
As they spoke, before them was already the city gate, the Junta was very sure they did not go through the main road to get to the main gate of the city, so it is not wrong that this door is a side gate, after passing through the gate, Junta and Kou are greeted by a forest that is not too big.
Zonya seemed to be very dislikeful of wasting time so she went straight into the forest followed by Junta and Kou behind her.
Fortunately it was still daytime, the forest was also not overgrown with many trees, so the sunlight could still enter making everything clearly visible.
Since Junta and Kou did not know what the rainbow mushroom looked like, then they just followed Zonya wherever she walked, after a little deep into the forest, His zone eventually found an object called the rainbow mushroom that was hiding behind a boulder.
The mushroom has a white base with small colorful circles all over its body, just by taking a quick look at Junta and Kou understood why the mushroom was named rainbow mushroom.
After they finished taking the 2 rainbow mushrooms, they rushed out of the forest and returned to the medicinal shop earlier.
After arriving at the drugstore, the tall-bodied woman greeted them again.
“What 1 is enough?”
His zone gave 1 rainbow mushroom to the woman.
“Oh, unexpectedly it turned out fast enough, you guys seem to be quite used to the herbal” plant
“Yes that is, I used to quite often take herbal plants like this”
“Then wait a minute, I will make it for you”
The tall woman entered again into a room that did not know what room it was.
“You used to often take herbal plants like this Zonya? Does that mean you take this kind of request often?”
“To be exact, back when I was in the lower class, I often took such requests, in addition to wanting to add knowledge, I wanted to, usually the request to help take herbs is one of the easy requests with a hefty” fee
“Oh... A useful information”
After Kou said that, the woman came carrying a small bottle of purple liquid.
“This is the cure”
“Thank you, how much does it cost?”
“Because you took the mushrooms yourself, I'll give you a discount! 20 Silver coins I think is a suitable price?”
Zonya paid the price of the medicine and then she smiled.
“You are really kind, thank you for the price cut”
“Come again if you need medicine”
Zonya nodded then went out with Junta and Kou.
“Alright, now we just need to go to that traveling merchant and give this medicine to him”
“Where is the merchant?”
“She was around-Oh, that's her”
His zone pointed to the figure of an old man with a long white beard.
After Junta and Kou were close enough to the merchant, to be honest Junta was more surprised by the body owned by the merchant, even though he looked old, old, but his body is still upright and still looks strong, unlike the elderly in general.
“Oh, you are... Zonya huh? Have you found a cure for my lizard?”
“Of course, this is the cure, now you can deliver us?”
“Of course, if my lizard can recover with this medicine, then I will deliver you guys, let's follow me”
With Zonya. Junta and Kou, the old man walked towards the main gate of this city, it was the gate that the Junta and Kou passed through when they first entered this city.
After being outside, Junta and Kou understood why they were brought here by the old man.
What Zonya said was true, the train was actually pulled by a lizard, much like a Komodo dragon just bigger.
The old man poured his medicine into the lizard's mouth, after a few seconds, the lizard that had looked lethargic and weak began to look more excited and filled with energy.
“Thank you Zonya! My lizard looks cured of his illness!”
“I didn't think that the lizard in question turned out to be quite large.”
Kou subconsciously said what he was thinking.
“Alright, as I promise, I will take you to Polski” village
