Santri Famiglia's

Forest Controller

"So, that giant tree is really another world's connecting door?" ask Sanubari.

Two engined vehicles emerged from within the trunk looking magical in his eyes. Both stopped long. Then, it moved as Fanon dashed towards them.

"There is no other world there. It must have been a tree house of sorts" replied Abrizar.

He only calculated based on the investigation about Fanon. Fanon Sangkara— is an architect who has repeatedly won awards with natural concepts in architecture.

The day before, Abrizar had also made sure. When attaching the ears to the bark, he could hear the activity within the giant tree. So, Abrizar could guess that there might be enough space in the trunk.

"You guys just stay here! Don't follow Fanon!"

Tendei turned his head for a while after hearing Sanubari. The jeep car had been running, stopping when it crossed paths with Fanon. Tronton followed behind. The bark of the tree closes back.

Everything looks natural. There was no line or anything indicating there was a giant sliding door. His skin blends perfectly.

"Pak Kora knows people from another dimension? Well, uh, but, why can't we welcome you earlier like Mr. Kora?"

"They're human like us, Sanu. There is no such thing as a human from another dimension" Abrizar said.

"Anyways, don't come any closer when they don't come any closer" said Tendei, who was still busy chopping up meat.

"The door's gone."

Sanubari's attention was still on the trunk of the giant tree. Fanon seemed to chat with jeep passengers, then sat in the back with the others.

The car drove back, stopping near them. Fanon jump.

"Tendei, leave the meat and take them! After saying that, Fanon looked at Sanubari, Fukai, and Abrizar, "I'm sorry, instead of expelling. But, this Tendei is indeed the person we are waiting to escort you guys."

Fanon smiled as gently as possible. He wants Sanubari's entourage to leave as soon as possible. That was to avoid them asking more questions about newly arrived people or giant trees.

"Why rush? We can leave after I finish this," replied casually Tendei.

"Well, isn't Mr Kora coming with us?" ask Sanubari.

It was clear how stirring Fanon had been when talking about the way out the previous day. He thinks Fanon's gonna deliver straight away. While someone they were waiting for was just to accompany.

"For now, I can't, Sanu. I still have a lot to take care of. The recipe and other things. Shouldn't you also focus on recovering first? So, the sooner you get out of this forest, the better."

"If you're in a hurry, why not just go on a heli?"

"There's no heli here, Tendei."

"Then use that car!"

Tendei momentarily pointed at the jeep with a knife. Abrizar listened to their conversation. From the guts, there's something Fanon wants to hide."

Hearing from his interaction with Fanon, Tendei and Sanubari seemed to be eleven/twelve. Abrizar feels that way. Tendei as if shepherded Fanon to reveal what she wanted to hide.

"But, Mr. Kora has promised to join us."

"I remember that. I'll catch up with you after my business is done. Don't worry about that!" Fanon smiled, patted Sanubari on the shoulder, then continued saying, "Let's get your things! I also have a little souvenir for you guys."

"OK-okay!"

Tendei sounds very forced. He was actually reluctant to abandon his pleasure. He stared at the untouched lion, washed his hands, then stood up.

"You guys, don't touch that lion! The lion is mine. If this bongo can. Just spend! I can hunt again."

"We are here only for the harvest," said Sison representing all.

"You should have driven them. That donut-legged thing can definitely reach the outer area faster, right?"

Hearing Tendei's protest, everyone's attention was on him looking at the parked jeep. Sison glanced at the car and Tendei alternately. He also noticed three strangers who had already entered the house.

Then, Sison whispered, "The stranger must not know the headquarters, nor the street. I myself do not know why Fanon released them without action after witnessing this."

Sison did not take her eyes off Fanon's house. The house really looks like a hollow broken wooden spool lying on the ground. Nearby, there was a giant rock. The stone is a warehouse as well as a garage. The door also seemed to blend well together, making it look like a real stone.

Anyone who saw it would definitely consider Fanon a maniac of nature. Instead of making a magnificent building like a palace like a house in general, Fanon instead made the residence like abandoned wood.

The Sanubari troupe acquired a kiwano and a piece of trunk along half an arm with a diameter as wide as a coconut tree. Sanubari carried the spindle. While the kiwano fruit is inserted into the Abrizar backpack.

Fanon stared at the departure of the four people. A few meters later, Sanubari turned around.

He shouted, "Sir Kora, I'll be here again soon!"

"He's gonna get our base discovered. Supposedly, we brainwashed them before they were released," Sison said standing next to Fanon.

They all witnessed the departure of Sanubari and friends. Sanubari smiled, then turned around again. He ran after the others.

"Has our lycaon lost its ferocity, or has its population declined? Why is it that anyone can reach this area?" Afra ruffled waist.

"It looks like we need to add some more lycaons, other beasts, and no less important—increase their ferocity," Abravo said.

"Add the leopard! Last I saw, they had the least population!" added Afra.

"Cooler white tiger. They are like real guards" said Abravo, raising both hands, roaring, clawing at the animal in question.

"Rather than adding animals that are lazy during the day, it is better to remove the lewd that want to be active during the day," said Sison.

"Can't he train them to be diurnal?" ask Abravo.

"Changing habits is hard. But, based on the last census data, the total nocturnal, diurnal, and crepuscular numbers scattered around here are approximately two hundred and fifty each species. They are spread out over the border. It may increase again if there is already a breed. Supposedly, they've had enough. The forest will be more crowded if we add a few more tails," said Sasin.

They were indeed deliberately spreading beasts as natural rotating guards. Nocturnal patrols are nocturnal, active during the day, and crepuscular, which strengthen guard shifts at dusk and early morning.

However, there are also species that are developed out of habit. So, some of the originally nocturnal can be active both day and night. Through a series of genetic studies and experiments, all of that can be realized.

"It seems you forgot one thing, Sir Sasin. All wild animals released are males. Where could they possibly breed." Afra hits Sasin's arm.

"They're coming from the direction that the bongo is. Check the area later! Is there a population decline there? Check out the other kawassan too! One more thing, make sure we have the tamer if it increases their madness! If not, maybe they will be your eating weapons one day" Fanon said seriously.

"Don't worry! He's also been training them to let anyone who smells like kiwano" Sison replied.
