KIDS WANT TO BE OPPOSED

NEW TASKS GIVEN

after the fight was over, some of the relief troops finally arrived at the military base.

some of them were immediately assigned to collect, the corpses of the Monsters scattered throughout the Region.

starting from Within the forest, on the beach until above the mountains.

after they took the bodies - the Monsters, they immediately collected them in one place and put them into the cargo transport plane, to under go to the largest country in the world.

meanwhile, some of the other troops, they were assigned to evacuate, the bodies of the members of unit 14.

at the same time replace the units that are in the front line, to conduct dimensional hole supervision.

on the other hand, Rangga, who was in one of the Military Tents, was currently talking to the Colonel inside.

they were sitting in the room facing each other.

"Rangga, how's your condition??"

"as you can see, I'm fine."

when Rangga answered him as if it was not a problem at all, the Colonel immediately looked in the direction, two Keris daggers on the table.

"hmm, is it because of those two kris??"

"so."

answered Rangga, after which he tried to ask.

"by the way, what's the situation with the other units??"

"are you worried??"

"no, I just want to know."

"so."

after a little joking, the Colonel began to answer.

"you must have listened, some relief force, are currently collecting the corpses of the Monsters?"

"yes, I heard that."

"well, because of the many corpses of the Monsters and the lack of troops that came, so units 10, 12 and 13 helped as well."

"units 10, 12, 13!,...Then, what about the other units?"

"such as units 10, 12 and 13. units 15 and 17 are currently assisting in the evacuation of the bodies of the troops."

"the bodies of the troops?..You mean unit 14?"

"yes, while units 11 and 16, they're going to a satay shop."

"sate warung??"

for a moment Rangga looked confused, but after a few seconds later, he began to realize something.

"..hah, if it's not wrong, the two of them are competing right??"

"yes, he said whoever loses, they have to deal with satay to the fullest.haa, I don't know anymore, what they both think."

"be-so yeah."

rangga replied nervously, upon seeing the colonel's troubled expression.

after that. for a while the two of them did not say anything, but for a moment the Colonel felt there was still one thing that Rangga had not said.

"......Rangga, didn't you ask about Respati's condition??"

"no, I'm sure he's okay, other than that!!"

rangga momentarily stopped and looked towards the colonel.

"-may I know, what's the reason you called me here??"

at that moment in question, slowly the colonel's expression began to change and look serious, while taking an object in his pants pocket and storing it on the table.

after he scratched it on the table, while Rangga immediately surprised to see the object, because what he saw in front of his eyes was not an ordinary object but a Black Crystal shaped like a marble.

"Coconel..don't say, this-!!"

"ohh, it seems you're aware.right, this is the essence of the Ogre King that you defeated back then."

"real right."

slowly Rangga took the Crystal, after which he noticed that there was a hole right in the middle, followed by a crack in the vicinity.

"This hole,...from Respati's shot huh?"

"right."

"...hm."

slowly Rangga scratched the crystal back on the table, after which he looked at the Colonel again.

"so, why are you showing me this??"

"...actually, we want to hand this crystal over to you."

"to me?"

"yes, this crystal was originally sent to General Alexei to conduct research.However, because General Alexei said, just leave this crystal to the child, so."

"so, fine, I'll accept this."

without thinking long Rangga immediately took the Crystal and drifted it in the bag of pants.

after that he looked towards the Colonel again, while looking at him with a serious expression.

"now, can you tell me, the real reason you called me here??"

as Rangga declared that, the Colonel's eyes seemed to widen slightly. However, after a few seconds later, he started to return to his original state.

"...I don't think you're aware of it. It's true that the reason I called you here is not just to give you the crystal, but there are other reasons."

"ohh, can you tell me?"

as Rangga tried to ask, slowly the Colonel's aura began to change, after which he looked straight at Rangga.

"Your neighbor still reminds me of the location of the second hole that will open in our country??"

"of course, although it is not clear when the Hole will open or where it is located. However, General Alexei can be sure, if the Hole will open in the City of Sulsel."

"right, but, because the information is still not clearly visible, so that makes the superiors become worried, so-so-!"

for a moment the Colonel stopped talking and started to sigh a little. After a few seconds, he started talking again.

"PRINCE, ON THE ORDERS OF THE SUPERIORS, YOU WILL BE MOVED TO THE LOCATION OF THE CITY OF SULSEL, TO BE ON STANDBY."

"PRESERVE!!"

"Yes." Yeah."

"hmm....so, when will I leave??"

"2 days from now.""

"2 days, isn't that too soon?"

"yes, at first I was also against it but because this is a direct order from the higher-ups, so.."

"you can't refuse it."

answered Rangga. while sighing a little, after which he began to ask again.

"may I ask."

"what?"

"i want to know, will the entire 9th unit be sent there?"

"no, you're the only one sent, but, uh, there's gonna be another army that's gonna help you later."

when Rangga tried to ask. for a moment the Colonel did not say anything, however, after a few seconds later he began to answer it while looking seriously at Rangga.

"Rangga, you will be the leader, the army will be."

"an~you're kidding right?"

"no, I'm serious."

"why should I?"

"when you fought the Ogre King, there were actually a lot of military officials who were watching you. Not only that, even the Information About the Plan you gave me Leaked and they knew it, so-!"

"-so, I was chosen as the leader, to overcome the new hole right?"

"yes." yeah."

the Colonel replied briefly.

after that, Rangga slowly looked towards the top, while closing his eyes.

"haaa, this is really very troublesome."

after he said that, he opened his eyes again, looking at the Colonel.

"alright, I get it...so there's nothing else, right, you want to talk about?"

"yes." yeah."

"in that case, I'll go first."

after Rangga said that, slowly he started to stand up, while walking out towards the Tent.

however, when he opened the tent, he stopped, because he heard the voice of the Colonel's call from behind.

"huh, Rangga, can I ask you one more question."

"what?"

rangga replied, looking at the Colonel from behind his shoulders.

"when you fought with Ogre King, you were lucky Respati right?"

"lucky, what do you mean?"

"don't pretend to be stupid, since the beginning you must have known that the Monster Core is in the umbilical cord, but you deliberately didn't hit that point, because you want to show it to Respati right?"

"ohh, why would I do that?"

"Make it, isn't it obvious, IN ORDER TO ELIMINATE HER USELESSNESS."

hearing what the Colonel said, making Rangga's lips immediately curved like a crescent moon while looking happy.

"Colonel, aren't your words too harsh for a leader?"

"rough or not. it is a reality, but also from Respati's view, he must have expressed, that he was useless during the fight."

"ohh, may I know the reason."

"generally, because even though he wanted revenge, all he could do was throw the Ogre King's punch, nothing else, so-!"

before the Colonel finished talking, Rangga immediately cut him off.

"-so you want to say, I let Captain Respati tell me, The Monster Core Location is, in order to reduce its worthlessness.that's all you want to say?"

"yeah, besides, from the beginning if you really intended to help Respati to kill Ogre King, you would have been able to do it quickly, but you didn't do that, cause-!"

as the Colonel stopped talking, Rangga looked back and saw the Colonel's gaze as if emitting a Light, as he looked at it.

"-BECAUSE, BEFORE RESPATI MANAGES TO KILL HIM, YOU INTEND TO MAKE HIM SATISFIED, WHEN - WHILE SHOWING OGRE KING'S ANNOYED EXPRESSION."

hearing the Colonel's sharp tone, instead of being afraid Rangga smiled, while turning his eyes towards the front.

"Saa, I don't know, what you're saying."

while leaving those words, Rangga immediately walked out of the Tent.

seeing that, Colonel Lansung smiled, beginning to whisper something that no one could hear.

"To the last, you're still pretending to be stupid."

after Rangga came out of the tent, he saw the lights already illuminating the base at night.

and as he walked, he saw that some troops were busy doing their own duties.

starting from transporting the Monster Cadaver Group to lowering the food and ammunition supplies on the plane.

even so, Rangga did not care about it at all, because he just continued to walk forward while remembering, his conversation with the Colonel just now.

however, when Rangga remembered it all, suddenly he felt the gaze of someone from the front.

quickly Rangga looked in that direction, and saw Respati leaning against one of the tents, while shaking his hand.

"hm!"

seeing Rangga was looking at him, Respati immediately waved his hand and tried to Approach Rangga.

"Captain Rangga, it looks like your interview is over."

"that's it, by the way - what are you doing here, aren't you resting?"

"just relax, I'm fine. Besides, I'm waiting for you."

"waiting for me?"

"yes, actually, I heard you were about to be transferred, so, I hurried here to thank you."

"thank you?"

"yes, if it wasn't for your help, I don't know anymore, if I could avenge my men or not.so-!"

momentarily Respati stopped while standing upright in front of Rangga, after which he lowered his head slightly.

"-Captain Rangga, Thank you very much, It has helped me."

"no, you don't have to do that anyway if it wasn't for you, I'm sure we could lose."

"uh, really?"

"of course. besides, didn't you kill, either the Goblin Shaman or the Ogre King."

"after you say, really too."

"well, that's why you don't have to thank me, instead we should thank you for helping us kill both the Goblin Shaman and the Ogre King."

hearing what Rangga said, Respati temporarily did not say anything.

however, after a few seconds, he began to answer.

"alright, if you say that."

"good,..by the way - by the way, are you currently free?"

"uh, I-yeah, what's the matter?"

"alright, don't come with me out and eat, let me buy it."

"uh, is it okay - what?"

"of course, then, let's go now."

"ba-good."

after that Rangga started walking out of the base to go to the food stall while followed by Respati behind him.
