Junta & Wizarding World
#30 Request Completed
After arriving outside the Sorz forest, Zonya chose to sit for a moment, naturally, she used her Mana that had yet to fully recover, to escort Junta and Kou out of the scene using teleportation magic.
After arriving at the river that was located outside the Sorz forest, Kou started to dip his hands and started purifying the river water, the process was the same as before, only this time a little faster.
After the river water was clear, Junta walked towards Kou who was standing near the riverbank.
“Good work”
“With this request to purify water is done”
Kou said that with a doubtful look.
“Do you still remember that masked man?”
“Yes.. I still can't believe anyone can read my movements, even the movements of the two of us, who he really is”
“Zonya said that there is a possibility that he is one of the 10 Fingers, simply one of the leaders of The Finger”
“That dark organization? What they do here.”
“Neither, but it is clear that if the masked man is one of the leaders of The Finger, then The Fingers must be planning something with the giant spider that”
Kou seemed to think hard after his sister said that.
“I don't think we should be confused by what they're planning, but we should be confused by their leader”'s ability
”Yes, I agree with you Kou, being able to read your movements is not an easy thing, if all the leaders of The Finger have the same strong ability as that person, then we should be more wary of The Finger than a supreme general of a kingdom”
“Does Brother want me to investigate this organization? I feel we need to investigate them or even we need to destroy them, before it's too late”
“I'll think about that, for now we have a lot of things to do”
Junta said that while staring at the clear river water.
“Hey Zonya! Can you walk?”
After being summoned by Kou, Zonya stood up and walked casually towards Kou and Junta.
“Although I still feel exhausted, but it is better if we rest in the village”
“The village head must be happy to hear we made”
“Are you expecting something Kou?”
“Yes possible, the village chief could give us some good food?”
“Hopefully the village chief was not stingy”
After Junta said that, he walked with Zonya and Kou towards the village.
In the area around the village, can be seen the residents are busy working, some are busy working in the fields, some are busy picking something, some are busy herding some kind of animal, some are busy, and many other activities that can be seen as in the village in general.
From a distance Junta can see the village chief who is busy poking the ground, thanks to the blue shirt and red headband that he always wears.
“Good afternoon mr village head”
“Oh you guys, how? Did you guys make it?”
“Of course! The river is clear again and you can use it as usual!”
Kou said that in a very cheerful tone.
“Ohh! Thank you! I am so grateful to you! You don't know how much you helped us!”
“No problem, then we will go to the association now to report”
“Zonya, we better rest here, didn't you just say you were tired?”
“Actually I was thinking of going to the Association and reporting and then staying in the city would be a more efficient step”
“No, we will settle here, it's afternoon, it's just a few hours left the sky will be dark, we will leave tomorrow morning”
“This young man is right, you must be very tired also kan”
“I don't think I have a strong argument for rejecting this, alright”
Junta and Kou slightly bowed his head to the village chief indicating that they were retreating, after which, the three of them walked towards the house that was provided for them to rest, so that they could rest, His zone went straight into his room as well as Junta and Kou.
“I think we should buy a house somewhere Kakan”
Kou said that while jumping onto the mattress and lying on it.
“Do you not like lodging?”
“I just think we should save our expenses as much as possible”
“You are not wrong, if we can save money, besides the money we will get is also large, I will try to ask Zonya about the price of a house tomorrow morning, and I will try to ask her, do you have any idea where you want the house to be?”
“Hmmmmm, I don't know, we still don't know much about the cities in this world, so I still don't know where to stay
“Hmmm, alright, I will ask that also to his Zonya tomorrow morning”
“Alright, I think we should sleep now”
“Of course, can you slide a little?”
The junta lay on the bed with Kou and instantly fell asleep.
Time passed quickly when someone slept, because Junta, Kou and Zonya were quite exhausted they finally slept soundly, when the morning arrived, the first one to wake up was Zonya, who was the first one, he sat on his bed first and then opened the door of his room to go outside.
After coming out of his room, Zonya rushed to go outside the house.
Outside, Zonya looked around, the sky was already blue and Zonya could see everything clearly, the air was still a little cold but the villagers did not seem to be too concerned about it because they had started doing their respective activities in the middle of this still slightly cold atmosphere.
From a distance, the village chief walked towards Zonya who was looking around from the front yard of the house, the village chief carrying a kind of basket containing fruits.
“You've woken up apparently, this, the villagers gave it to you”
“Oh, thank you sir village chief, you guys are very well”
“Oh no no, this is not comparable to what you have done for us, then I am permission to go to work, my fields cannot grow their own crops”
“Of course, thank you once again for the meal”
The village chief responded with a smile and walked away from Zonya.
After looking at the fruit given by the village chief, Zonya brought him into the house and put him on the table, then she walked towards the Junta and Kou rooms and knocked on their doors.
“Junta, Kou, you don't forget about your gifts right?”
There was no answer, it seemed like they were sleeping soundly.
“Junta, Kou, don't you want your gift?”
Still no answer, Zonya who felt this would not succeed decided to go inside.
After opening the door, Zonya was surprised to see Kou frozen into ice.
Kou and Junta slept side by side on the same mattress, but only Kou froze into ice, feeling a little panicked from not knowing what was happening, she said, His zone shook Junta's body in order to wake him up quickly.
The junta who was feeling very uncomfortable naturally started to open his eyes to see what was really happening, the first thing he saw was his Zonya who was pointing to the left side of the Junta, the first thing he saw was Zonya who was pointing to the left side of the Junta, Junta turned his head and of course there was Kou who froze into ice.
“So ya”
Junta said that while trying to sit on his bed.
“What happened? Were you attacked last night? That guy again?”
“No, it's okay, it's just Kou's magic that can help his body to speed up the regeneration”
After Junta said that, he touched Kou's body frozen into ice.
Kou's body is seen responding to his brother's touch as his icy body suddenly gives off a dim green glow when Junta touches him.
Junta knew this was going to happen, that was the reason he insisted on spending the night in this village first.
Just like the incident when Kou saved the castle belonging to queen Rana, Kou fell ill from using that forbidden power, Full Potential.
It was just that this time it seemed like Kou was better prepared in the face of the consequences he had to accept, as healing magic could not be used to heal the pain that Kou suffered after using Full Potential, as it was not possible to cure him, so Kou uses magic that can isolate himself from the outside world to help his body focus on healing itself.
“Are you sure it's okay Junta?”
“Nothing, Kou will be fine, he just need time to rest”
Even though her panic was gone, Zonya still looked a little hesitant and worried.
“Alright, I think we should go to the Association and take our gift”
After saying that, Junta stood up from his bed and walked out of the house, as Junta and Zonya came out of the house, they met a pack of village heads who coincidentally walked past their house.
“You're going?”
“Really, but we'll just go to town for a while then come back here, is that okay?”
“Of course it's okay! You can even stay here if you want”
“Thank you for the offer, village head sir”
When Junta and Zonya had already walked far enough from the village, Junta and Zonya saw a traveling merchant cart that stopped under a tree, Zonya quickly accelerated her pace to approach the merchant.
“Good morning sir, do you have any leftovers for us to hitchhike?”
“Where are your goals?”
The man replied with a cheerful tone.
“We want to go to the city that is in the north of here”
“Ohh, it's close, it's okay to go up lah”
Junta and Zonya also went up to the wagon covered by a wall of cloth and a roof made of cloth, this way if daylight had arrived, then Junta and Zonya would not overheat.
After they boarded, they found that there was someone else there as well, but that person was sleeping among the items placed around him.
“We'll leave”
And that way, the wagon started moving.
“Zonya, do you know this guy?”
“No, I have never seen him before, maybe he is a new member in Association”
Zonya answered like that while looking towards that sleeping person.
“Why are you so sure that he is a member of Assossiation?”
“Now, my hunch says so, it is rare for an ordinary person to ride in a traveling merchant cart you know?”
“Hmm, I hope he's still alive”
“What? What are you talking”
“You know, what if he's not actually sleeping, what if he's actually dead?”
“Why don't you turn her prone body over and look at it with your own eyes?”
“I don't want to do it, but if he's dead, why would a traveling merchant carry a corpse?”
“OK, you really made me alert now”
“Only if said, do not take her too seriously”
After waiting for about 30 minutes of travel, Junta and Zonya had already reached their destination.
The city was a bustling city, certainly not as crowded as the capital of this kingdom, in contrast to the city that Junta had visited before, on the streets of this city there were quite a number of Association members walking by.
After thanking the merchant, the merchant resumed his journey after taking down the Junta and Zonya near the main gate.
“Here looks there are more members of the Association”
The junta starts the conversation while walking.
“Because here is the location of the Association branch building which is arguably quite large”
“Size enough yes, how big is it?”
“You know that the Association branch building only has 1 floor, right? Branch building here has 2 floors”
“2 floors? Does that mean there is a 2nd floor where special requests are placed?”
“Yes, but since this is a branch building, the special request that is here is not much, even often times not there, that's why when we first met I told you to go to the main building of the Association if you want to take special request”
“Oh, if the request is often empty, means class 5 here is very rare?”
“You can say that, because in the branch building there is rarely a special request, then usually class 5 choose to stay in the city where the main building of the Association is located, but not all class 5 think like that, there are also among those who live in other cities, you can say that class 5 live scattered”
“Ah, you remind me, I want to ask you the price problem of a house, do you know something about it?”
“Which area do you want to know?”
“I... Don't know, maybe you can share your knowledge?”
“I only know the price of the house in my residence in the current capital of the kingdom, the average price is about 50 gold coins to the top”
“Woah, it's quite expensive”
“That's it, let's just say that price is equivalent to running about 2 or more special requests”
“It looks like class 5 like you is very easy if you want to buy home”
“Hey, special request is not an easy request, finish it also need time”
After walking for quite a while, Junta and Zonya finally arrived at the Association building, right, Zonya said, the building was arguably quite large, larger than all the Association branch buildings that the Junta had ever visited, when entering the building, the atmosphere is not much different from the other branch buildings of the Association, but it is certain that this building is very crowded, even feels a little crowded.
“Good day, can I help you?”
Junta and Zonya were greeted by a woman standing behind the reception desk.
“We want to take our gifts”
“Do you guys take that request in this building?”
“No, we picked it up in another building”
“Alright, can you tell me what request you received this?”
“Something related to purifying water in the village that is in the south of this city”
“Shortly yes”
The woman looks to be looking for something under her desk, after several moves of her hands, the woman makes a confused expression.
“I'm sorry, but this Association building does not have as much money as 20 gold coins, we are experiencing a money” crisis
The woman said it with a sad expression.
“Crisis money? What Association is doing a big operation?”
His zone shows a marker necklace that he is a class 5.
“Ya, the Association is running an operation that requires a lot of people, you should know about this operation because all 5 classes are participating in this big operation”
“Oh.. Suddenly I remembered what Maggie had said before I left, something related to special requests and calls to all 5” classes
“To be exact, that's the big operation I'm talking about, it took a lot of funds and as you can see, we only have a little money left”
“So, I guess there's no other choice but to take our gift at Maggie Junta”'s place
“It looks like we do not have any other option”
Before the Junta wanted to turn around to walk towards the exit, the Junta saw the stairs leading to the top floor, the location of the stairs was right at the reception, since the Junta was a little curious as to what was on the 2nd floor, then the Junta walked towards the stairs.
Naturally Zonya followed behind, after arriving at the 2nd floor, it turned out that the 2nd floor was narrower than the Junta had thought.
There was a round table with 4 chairs surrounding the table, then there was a fireplace not far from it, on the fireplace there was a kind of round clock, beside the fireplace, there was a round clock, there was a notice board, and lastly, there was something like an umbrella place near the staircase where the Junta was standing at the moment.
“You want to see the 2nd floor? Nothing interesting, right?”
“It's like a space to relax”
“Why don't you sit in that chair?”
Junta sat on one of the chairs surrounding the round table, Zonya went to the fireplace to light it up and took a seat with the Junta.
“How?”
“Hmmm, can't be trusted this is quite convenient”
“The voices of the people from below are almost inaudible, our voices are also not able to hear them, the fireplace that is here also gives us a warm and usual feeling, the fireplace that is here is also, class 5 order food then eat it at this round table”
“Truly an area suitable for resting”
“By the way Junta, can you tell me what really happened on that river?”
“You mean why did you pass out? I also didn't know the matter was Zonya, all I did was attack and dodge the attack from the masked man, to the point that he cast some sort of magic that could emit smoke and then he was gone, maybe it's because of the smoke that you fainted?”
“Hmmmmm I don't know, my memory is not very clear..”.
“Don't think about it, the important thing is you're not hurt, right? Fainting for a while doesn't matter, after all, don't you want to tell the receptionist that the masked person we're fighting is the problem?”
“I'll tell Maggie this problem, somehow I feel doubtful if I tell the receptionist it's the masked man we're fighting, I mean the distance from village to city is not too far, if word that one of the leaders of The Finger is around this city, what do you think will happen?”
“But not telling them could also be a problem, who knows what The Finger will do tomorrow”
“You are not wrong, but we must remember that The Finger is an organization that we should stay away from as much as possible, we have messed up their plans and now maybe they are hunting us, what do you think they would do if they knew the whole city was on the lookout for their activities around here?”
“They must be very disliked, it makes their work harder”
“Then in your opinion, to whom will they blame all this?”
“Ok I understand what you mean, but at least tell the receptionist so she can process this information and find out the truth, he said, we still don't know if the masked man is one of the leaders of The Finger or not? Use your powers as class 5 to order the receptionist to keep this information from leaking”
“You're right, we still don't know if the masked man it is one of the leaders of The Finger or not, well, I'll tell the receptionist, you wait here”
After saying that, Zonya went downstairs leaving the Junta upstairs alone.
