The Dragon Soul Forging
44. A Party



That night the city of Sawi felt rather festive than usual because there was a small party conducted in the luxurious Mansion which became a refugee center.


The party was intended to celebrate the rise of the city of Sawi after it was considered successfully recovered from the monster disaster.


Not only did the rich celebrate the feast, but ordinary residents also felt the excitement of the feast because the authorities had free food today.


Everyone can fill their stomachs on this happy day without any worries.


On the balcony of the third floor of the mansion, two people stared at the quite crowded street and were illuminated by lights that glowed so brightly.


“Although there are still many people who are afraid to go out at night, but at least this is quite crowded, right?.” said Raya while staring at the state of the city that became more crowded than usual nights


“You are right, this is a great step for a fresh start.” Yuki said. He smiled as he saw the city of Sawi revived.


Although Yuki is a crossbreed whose mother is a Japanese citizen, but the girl was born in her father's country, precisely in the city of Sawi. That was why he was so moved when he saw this city revived.


The moment Yuki looked at the city with a haru feeling, was different from the Kingdom whose gaze continued to pay attention to the guards of the Mansion. Raya felt an unpleasant feeling when she saw the guards who came from the police guard.


‘They look like amateurs.’ think Kingdom.


The girl knew little about the stature of the police while on duty because her late father was a police officer with a rank that could be said to be high.


The longer Raya watches the policemen, the more they show suspicious signs. “They just look like a bunch of thugs in uniform.” thought Raya.


out of curiosity Raya wants to go down to make sure, but suddenly a maid enters the room to tell the two girls if the party is about to start.


“Maybe it's just my feeling.” She ignored her curiosity.


***


In the main hall of the Mansion was already filled with rich people who were invited to celebrate this day. Those who have lived for months in distant limitations in the impression of luxury, can finally celebrate the party again after a long time.


“Ide to provide assistance to residents as a form of investment in the city is brilliant.”


“This is all about Miss Yuki's idea, she's just as smart as her dad isn't she?.”


“Nona Yuki is more promising than mayor.”


“Of course, I still feel annoyed at that fat guy who's been blackmailing me just for a bag of rice.”


Everyone who came to the party praised Yuki who had given a comfortable life to them in this very chaotic time.


Meanwhile, Budi who is now wearing neat clothes in the form of tuxedos only looks at the rich people bored.


It's not that he doesn't like rich socialites, it's just that Budi doesn't know how to talk to people who live in a different world than him.


‘I who live as a laborer, will not understand what people like them are talking about.’ thought Budi.


Not wanting to attract attention, the young man alone in the corner fused with the wall and spoke one way at the noisy drink glass of juice water.


Kronchong!


Budi felt his stomach start to rumble because of hunger. “Hem... it seems like the author forgot if I haven't eaten.”


Raya had previously said she would cook for him, therapy because of the busy distribution of food for residents, making them forget about dinner.


Finally they decided to have a night together when the party. But it had been two hours waiting, all he got was a soft drink.


“Maybe now he's pranking me.” Budi began to get upset because he felt Raya deliberately did all this in order to starve the two.


He felt some people were watching him. You can clearly hear what they are talking about you.


“He is a young man who came with miss Yuki and Raya right?.”


“I heard the two girls pick her up from the Police station.”


“Who is he?, Looks disgusting and useless.”


All the unpleasant gazes and conversations directed at her, made Budi feel even more upset. But he was not angry at all because he felt it was appropriate that way,


‘My place is not with them.’


Budi was about to leave the party, but suddenly a man came to Budi. The man was wearing official clothes with dozens of service marks adorning his clothes.


It was obvious that the man was proud of all the badges hanging on his shirt. I was disturbed by the arrival of the man. ‘All the rays reflecting off the badge shone into my eyes.’


“You are Mr Budi is not it?, I just want to apologize for the misunderstanding that occurred last afternoon.”


Ridwan who is the police chief in the city of Sawi came to apologize because his men had made a mistake after putting Budi in prison.


“No problem, after all nothing happened after.”


“Nothing happened, well.”


Just like the others. Ridwan also looked at Budi carefully with investigating eyes. Although he had already assessed the young man when he first met in prison, he was still not convinced.


‘I hope he's just a passerby.’ Ridwan is worried that Budi will ruin his plans.


Budi said goodbye politely to Ridwan when he was about to leave. But suddenly Kingdom came to him, it made everyone look back at the young man.


But the pretty smile of the Kingdom who was currently wearing a charming red dress and was extremely dazzling, everyone's gaze was fixed on her. But Budi actually replied with an unpleasant face.


“What's wrong?.”


“No, it's just that I remember nothing has filled my stomach yet other than juice water.”


“Ah, sorry for that.” Raya tried to hold back her laughter, the smile she showed made everyone feel blessed.


“Please wait a minute. The event will soon start.” pinta raya while hugging the arm of Budi's right arm tightly as if he will not let the young man die of the party.


Seeing that made all the men in the main hall feel envious and started cursing Budi. They feel better if they are in the position of Budi at this time than disabled youth like him.


“Better you turn it down jerk!.”


the voice of the mockery sounds so slow that it is impossible for anyone to hear it except Budi who has a strong listening sense due to expertise (Hero Sense).


“Hem?.”


Budi tried to look at the direction of the voice, but all he found was a crowd of men looking at him full of malice.


“Me and mom cook fried rice loh.” for a moment the word Raya makes Budi's attention distracted.


“Fried rice!.”


In the end Budi agreed to stay longer for the sake of fried rice.
