Pride of Indonesia's

POI 9 - Cuisine and Medicines

A bright morning had arrived, the sun that had just risen from the east shone on the village until the light woke Aditya from his sleep, the light was still not enough to build him up because the Mana Mana who had run out would fall asleep for quite a long time.

The aroma of Daisy cooking makes Aditya's eyes wide open until he slowly rises from his bed and then he stretches his body until the aroma of Daisy cuisine begins to feel strong until Aditya goes to the aroma that and he arrived in the kitchen.

Aditya widened his eyes when he saw that the dining table in the room was filled with food that was ready to taste, it would be very rude if Aditya secretly tasted her so she better wait for Daisy to finish cooking and then eat the food together.

"Good morning, Aditya, breakfast is soon ready... Wait a minute." Aditya is surprised when Daisy mentions his name, how can he know his name... Though he yesterday had yet to introduce himself, most likely due to his mind-reading Mana ability.

Aditya's stomach started to make a sound and he immediately smiled awkwardly, "Sorry... Perhaps due to this Mana deficiency factor, my stomach is running amok..."

"It's okay, the stomach sounds it's normal, wait a minute... Henzie's like he's still not home."

"Where's he?"

"Slaying chicken." 

"Ohh..."

Ten minutes later, Daisy had already occupied a lot of food on the dining table until Aditya wondered why he cooked this much food even though only three people would eat it, because of the curiosity that we have... Aditya asked Daisy.

"Why are you cooking this much? The three of us won't be able to eat all this, will we? Don't go too far..." Aditya.

"I cook not only for us, this village also needs food so I am willing to cook as much food as possible to make the stomach of the villagers feel full." Daisy answered until Aditya widened his eyes to see the people of half Netherlands and half Indonesia will be very concerned with the people of Indonesia.

Aditya can now trust him even more deeply until he starts helping Daisy to cook omelet, they spend time cooking breakfast to make the villagers full. Daisy tells Aditya about this village while cooking... The village is very poor and really lacks the need to find food and jobs.

"Daisy... Why would you do something like this?"

"I love Indonesia so much, they're all so good and I've loved it ever since my parents brought me to this country... I cannot bear to see this homeland I love filled with people who still lack their needs, I better help them without asking for anything in return." Said Daisy.

"You're great too... Like a hero who wanted to sacrifice something for the sake of his own people, I didn't expect that you had so many ingredients to cook this much food." Aditya glanced back and saw the abundance of food that was already available.

"I work loh... I am a businessman, I also have my own tegal stall in every city in Indonesia thanks to the help of my father. Plus, I'm a spice businessman." Answer Daisy.

"Great too..." Aditya nodded until Daisy blushed.

Aditya now chooses silence while listening because he does not want to be disappointed to say something that Daisy should have heard like her family now where, where, soon after Henzie entered Daisy's house and gave her a lot of skinned Chicken, the next menu was to make chicken soup.

"Your help is enough to help Miss Daisy like, Mr. Aditya--"

"Start from now... You can be normal with me, Henzie... I feel uncomfortable if you continue to speak politely to me even though we are now friends." Aditya.

"If that's what you want then I'll grant it." Answer Henzie.

The three of them used the [Mana Inventory] to bring all the food to the village hall, once they were there... The food was already prepared on a huge round table, all the residents had gathered and were ready for breakfast together. Aditya was a little shocked when he saw all the residents had torn and dirty clothes.

"What pathetic..." Aditya.

"This very sunny day, it's better that we all enjoy the breakfast that Miss Daisy has prepared!" Said the residents until they all immediately ate their breakfast.

Aditya enjoys his breakfast from afar with Henzie and Daisy, they can see the laughter and also the smiles of the citizens when enjoying the breakfast, "Don't he see them laughing and smiling gives a warm feeling...?" Daisy started talking.

"Yes... That's so... They look happy."

"Aditya, from now on... You may regard my home as your home, I want you to be safe with us because it is from now on... Henzie will train yourself and explain the Mana's deeper abilities to you so that you can face enemies using the Mana ability." Daisy begins to look at Aditya who is enjoying her food.

"There is no other choice, I already have no purpose other than to prevent battles between the same nations... Operation Peter destroyed my purpose but I will never give up until I actually do it, because of you two... I can understand what it means to protect something important." Answer Aditya.

"I'm glad you can understand that quickly." Daisy smiled.

Daisy just remembered about something, the drugs she had just made specifically for Aditya... He will give it to her later when Aditya has finished his breakfast. Henzie had invited Aditya to go visit the mountain and train there together while learning Mana.

After he finished eating his breakfast, Aditya cleaned his hands and approached Daisy who was holding a bottle filled with blue tablets inside her, it looks like a drug and Aditya hopes that the drug has certain uses and does not have any side effects.

"Tablet it... Some medicine?" Ask Aditya while pointing at the bottle.

"Of course, I just made it a few days ago for a fighter like you, Aditya. This tablet can add Mana You are exhausted and lacking, no side effects really... it's just that you're forbidden to overuse it because the source of Mana that will fill your body could just explode." Said Daisy.

Aditya looks impressed, he does not expect that Daisy can create such a great drug, he said, aditya gladly accepts him and takes two tablets and swallows them until his body is filled with blue Mana lines.

"It seems to work, I can sense your Mana source..." Daisy said as she felt Aditya's chest and made herself blush, "Oi..."

Daisy widens her eyes and she takes a few steps back, "A-Ahh! Pardon...! It's time I b-work now, you two train well huh..." Daisy left them both.

"Are you ready to go now, Aditya?" Ask Henzie.

"of course... Wanna?" Aditya offered the tablet to Henzie and he immediately rejected him, "I don't need the tablet anymore because I found an ability that can recharge my own Mana.

"That's great..."

"I can tell you later, we better hurry to the mountain." Henzie pointed at a large mountain in front of him and they left the village, the speed of Henzie was much faster than Aditya so that he could not catch up with him.

"With this... I can grow stronger to protect the Indonesian people from that Peter operation, just look at General Wahyudi... If you want to look for you then you just searched for your own death...!!!" Aditya.

"... ..." Henzie closed his eyes while sighing softly, "he's acting rash again."
