While Nuzlan and Nagini visit Sheikh Fahril at-Tamim in the emirate's office, Havard and Selena have fun in the city market while also getting the task of scouting the movements of the kingdom of Yahuda spy disguised as a merchant.
"Well, glad to see the crowd again. The Ukadz market is inferior compared to this market." exclaimed Selena.
"It turns out you're a wild one for the size of a house girl." Havard quipped.
Selena looked at him cynically. "Why else are you? Want to fight?" hatchlings.
"No.." he said. "I'm just wondering. The women in Las Mecca are nothing like you..."
"That's because they never got out of Las Mecca" Selena replied curiously.
"Oh, so you're proud of yourself, can it be that free?" sindir Havard again.
"You really want to fight?!" turn Selena again while blotting her waist. "If I want, I can get you in front of the court for sexually abusing me!"
"Eh, who's been harassing you?" rebut Havard did not want to lose. "I'm just acting medically to make sure you're healthy or not..."
"Ooo... So by rejuvenating my breasts it is to make sure I am healthy or not? That so?" tukas Selena ketus and then stepped towards the jewelry booth.
Havard caught up with him and the two observed various kinds of jewelry placed in the storefront.
"I don't mean it.." said Havard.
"Havard already." interrupted Selena again with a ketus. "I'm tired of your behavior enough." The girl observed a ruby medallion mounted on an orihalcon carved metal.
"Well, beautiful jewelry." muttered Selena dazzled, praising the jewels.
"You like it?" ask Havard.
"It's good to be clad in the neck of the beautiful Miss.. It's cheap, Miss.." bargained the merchant. "Five hundred dirhams only..."
Selena just smiled blandly then shook her head and left the display. Havard followed the girl's back and then looked at the merchant.
"How many did you say?" ask Havard.
"Five hundred dirhams only, sir." replied the merchant enthusiastically.
Havard nodded and took out his wallet, reached for two pieces of dinar and handed them to the merchant.
"Wrap the thing, hurry!" Havard.
"There are ten more dirhams, sir." said the merchant, taking the jewelry from the storefront and wrapping it.
"For you alone." said Havard impatiently asking for the parcel. After that he ran after Selena who had been in the clothes booth.
Hearing the sound of running legs approaching, Selena turned to look at Havard who arrived with an irregular breath.
"Where have you been?" scold Selena with annoyance. "I was looking for you earlier.I thought you left me alone and went home to the inn."
"Where would I do such a thing? I could have slapped Nuzlan later." Havard said.
"Where are you from?" ask Selena with a ketus.
"Go pee." Havard answered, causing Selena to look at him with disgust.
"Why again?" ask Havard.
Selena shook her head quickly turned her head towards the clothes on display at the booth. They looked at all the clothes that were sold there. Selena then glued to stare at a set of clothes on display in the storefront.
The clothes were similar to the type of clothes worn by people in the eastern peninsula. The knee-length sleeveless vest covered the inner sleeves of the garment clad in pieces of steel affixed, like a light harness. His subordinates were a pair of trousers and a pair of two-fingered boots.
"Do you like that outfit?" ask Havard again, "It doesn't match your appearance." he commented.
"Who said that for me?" refute Selena.
"You looked at the dress for a long time, exactly how you looked at the jewelry in the booth there." replied Havard. "And I don't think Nuzlan has such a taste for clothes."
"If I'd bought it anyway, it wouldn't have been for me to give it to her." Selena said.
"Aaah, definitely for Ahmad.." guess Havard.
"Ahmad will look funny wearing this outfit." Selena then looked at Havard and removed the man's hood.
"Why did you let go of my hood?" tanya Havard was about to put up her hood again but was prevented by Selena.
"You fit in that outfit, Havard" said Selena then grabbed the young man's hair and clasped it like a pigtail. "Otherwise your hair is long. If pigtailed, let alone put on those clothes, you are not much different from the residents of the eastern peninsula." continued the girl with a funny smile.
"You think that's funny?" hatch Havard releases Selena's hand that holds her back hair.
"Yes.buy the clothes, Havard." said someone behind making the two young men look over.
Nuzlan smiled. He saw Nagini. The woman's appearance stunned Selena.
"Waaaah.." exclaimed Selena, "You are like a noble woman.
"Thank you." answered Nagini with a faint smile. "Nuzlan bought it."
"Waaah.I think you should be told immediately that you want to take a wife.." Goda Selena makes Nagini's face red.
Nuzlan laughing. "That we can discuss later." he looked at Nagini for a moment and then looked back at Havard.
"Didn't I give you a lot of money?" nuzlan. "Spend that money..indulge yourself..."
"I want her to wear it." Selena pointed to the eastern-style outfit.
"Hey, I didn't." protested Havard.
"Havard, buy it and put it on." Nuzlan said. "Don't resist Selena's wishes..."
Havard grumbled and was forced to buy the clothes. Assisted by the shop clerks, the man wore it and when he came out of the dressing room, Nuzlan was stunned and clapped.
"Waw..it's amazing.." he commented. "You are indeed not much different from the appearance of the shinobi tribes from the eastern plains. For a moment Nuzlan furrowed her brows and smiled back. "I know a weapon that suits you. Come on.." he asked.
It was handed over to Selena. "Well, my sister, have fun. Eat and drink and buy clothes and jewelry." says Nuzlan.
Selena gladly accepted the wallet and stuck out her tongue, mocking Havard who grumbled long and short because her purse belonged to the woman.
Nuzlan takes Havard to the gun shop. He greeted the shop owner.
"You're selling weapons typical of easterners?" ask Nuzlan. "I need that gun."
The shopkeeper nodded and observed the weapons shelves. He then moved towards a shelf and pulled out a slightly curved eastern-style sword. The scarf is greenish black. His sword armor was made of a mixture of copper and gold metal. The handle of ivory wrapped in a dull black cloth tied in a spiral. A small pin is in the shape of a flower and its leaves are attached to the handle. The orange-colored rope is circular at the top of the sheath.
The sword was thrust upon Nuzlan. "This is a tachi made by Norimitsu Osafune, the famous master of the eastern plains." he said.
Nuzlan took the sword and finished it, noticed the blade and nodded in satisfaction. He glanced back and looked at the shop owner.
"How much?" ask Nuzlan.
"Swords are rare. People in the south and north have never ordered this type of sword.
"How much?" ask Nuzlan again.
"If you insist, I appreciate the sword four dinars." said the shopkeeper with a sly smile.
"Damn it! It's expensive" Havard protested.
"If you can't afford it, don't ask for the price!" the owner of the shop.
Havard was just about to retaliate when Nuzlan crossed his arms in front of the young man's chest. He looked at the shop owner.
"I'll pay six dinars if you give me a mate." bargained Nuzlan nodded her head at a sword of the same type that was a little short in size with its sheath carved into a crocodile's skin motif. "How's it?"
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment. Nuzlan again urged him without giving the store owner a chance to think again. Finally the shop owner gave up and agreed.
With a triumphant smile, Nuzlan thrust out six pieces of dinar and took out the two blades. He looked at Havard.
"Use these two swords." he said as he thrust out the two swords, and took Havard's long dagger. "This thing let you just give it to Selena..."
Havard relented and finally slipped the two swords into his cloth. The long dagger was kept by Nuzlan.
"Now you are no different from the Eastern shinobi." commented Nuzlan, giving two thumbs up at Havard's performance.
The two returned to the market.The two looked like an employer and bodyguard who were browsing the market.
"How was the meeting?" ask Havard.
"Sheikh Fahril at-Tamim has received the message of Sultan Yazid al-Bustami. he also now helps us observe the movements of the spies of the Kingdom of Yahuda." replied Nuzlan. "Our task is already a little lighter."
"Then after this, what's our next move?" ask Havard.
"Register you as a participant of the tournament." replied Nuzlan.
Havard was about to protest when Nuzlan again proposed his reasoning.
"The prize is big." he said. "You don't want to take Selena's heart?"
"He's not a double eye." Havard protested.
"The money is not for him, but for me" Nuzlan said with a mischievous smile. "Lumayan right? For a supply enhancer on the way."
Havard returned grumbling. Nuzlan again said, "So I was informed that Lord Rotcshild was in this market. "I suspect, he was present at this tournament to recruit people who could be used to join a group of warriors who would strengthen their armed forces!"
"So we're taking part in a tournament to spy on Lord Rotcshild?" havard. "Why didn't you say that?!"
"Would you like to come?!" press Nuzlan.
"Of course I'll come, if this concerns Lord Rotcshild." Havard accepted.
"Well, I'll sign you up" he said, taking Havard to an artificial coliseum in the middle of the market.
They arrived at the entrance gate. Nuzlan approached the committee.
"I want to register this man." Nuzlan told the committee.
The organizers looked at Havard for a moment and turned back to Nuzlan. "You know the rules?" angled.
"What's the rule?" ask Nuzlan.
"Match using the knockout system with an absolute victory. The injured will be treated until healed, and the dead in this match, then his family will get insurance money of ten thousand pieces of dinar.." said the committee.
"Crazy!" hatch Havard and responded with a cynical smile by the committee.
"If you don't dare, you better resign." he said. "It's a tournament for real fighters..."
"Damn it.." said Havard was offended by the committee's insinuations. "Nuzlan! Register me!!!"
With a winning smile, Nuzlan then registered Havard as a participant of the tournament. After paying the registration fee and insurance deposit, the committee allowed Havard to enter the special room of the participants.
As for Nuzlan is welcome to occupy the bench in the audience stands. Nuzlan ordered a ticket for three people. After that he stood in front of the gate waiting for the arrival of Nagini and Selena.
Shortly after, the two women arrived. Nuzlan approached them. "Come, the game will start a little more." he asked while giving each ticket to Nagini and Selena.
The three entered and climbed the stairs to the central tribune. They sit in a place that corresponds to the number of the ticket sequence. They seem to be sitting side by side.
"Now Havard will appear in the tournament. We give him our support." said Nuzlan with enthusiasm.
Meanwhile, Havard who had just entered the participant's special room, passed by someone. They stared for a moment. The man was surprised. Havard exclaimed.
"You!!!!" he exclaimed in shock.[]
