The Fragrant Soul

Chapter 34: Honorable Guest

Renjani is still in Raka's arms. He doesn't want to leave, he doesn't want to leave. Because the embrace of a Fragrant Sukma is the safest, most comfortable, and warmest hug he has ever felt.

Although the sky collapsed and the earth split apart, Rejani was sure he would be protected in that embrace.

Men should be able to give 3 things to women: safety, comfort, and enjoyment.

“Did you already know where Flowers are?” tanya Renjani still spoiledly hugged Raka's chest that field.

“There are still some ideas that I should test, if everything is done, then I will be able to find them.”

“Good. You promised me you'd find him. Don't disappoint me.”

Raka just smiled. Chewed again the lips of the beautiful girl for the umpteenth time. “I have to go now.”

“Go. I won't hold you anymore,” her face hardened but her eyes almost melted.

“You can't die. There are still 2 more debts that I have not paid to you,” the handsome man's smile warmly.

“Good.”

Raka floated down onto Nindira's ship. He felt guilty for breaking a promise to see his crew a week after leaving. It's been almost 2 weeks now. But Raka believes the ship will indeed wait for him even though he has not returned for months.

In addition to being accustomed, the supplies and preparation of this ship have indeed been fulfilled all.

Anjani saw his master hovering down from above the sky. He called his brothers to greet the master. Maya was there too. She looked beautiful, perhaps having recovered from her bitter life experience.

“How are you all doing?”

“Raden is home. We missed you so much!”

“If you miss just dumbass? Why not immediately eliminate the delicious cuisine for me? Two weeks of walking outside, my life so taken care of like this,” joked Raka. “Eh, from now on I do not eat meat. Please prepare delicious soups and fruits.”

“Ready! Soon!”

Raka immediately put herself on a cot that was covered with a soft and fragrant mattress.

“Ahh! Relieved once,” he said as he pulled.

Maya is still nearby. The girl looks awkward. “What can a servant (me) do to raden?”

Raka laughed, “Will you scold me? My body aches all.”

“Of course, raden. Let me take sandalwood oil.”

Raka opened the robe and upper clothing.

Gnashed beautiful girl, while being served all her needs by other beautiful girls.

Raka felt like all her energy was replenished. After listening to the reports of what they were doing during their dozen days on the boat, Raka took a shower and changed her clothes.

“Raden already want to go again?” ask Anjati.

“Yes. My business is not done yet. You guys know where Antasena is?”

“Yes. According to reports, he is still following Candramawa. Now he is in Kawali.”

“Good. Thank ye. I'm leaving!”

　

　

***

It is quite difficult to find the whereabouts of someone in a city as big as Kawali. But Raka did not lose, she lit a green flare up into the sky. It was a special sign of his family members. Not too long waiting, Antasena had already appeared on the edge of the forest at the end of the city.

“Sialang. You just showed up now!” mean it.

“Hahaha. You forgive me. Lately, a lot of people have been looking for me. Having a lot of fans is indeed quite troublesome.”

“Since then it has been so. I'm not surprised anyway.”

“Let's sit I'll have your pleasure wine and a little grilled antelope.”

Antasena devoured the dish with concussion. Little wonder he asked, “Eh you don't eat?”

“I'm full. While eating you hear my story.”

Raka then told her the whole experience.

“Wauw great right. Your new move seems very powerful. You seem to have entered the ranks of high-class swordsmen,” Antasena said.

Raka just smiled, did not agree, nor denied.

“Where is Bratagini Roof? I want to see.”

As Raka pointed it out, Antasena just snorted, “Once ya form. Does not appear to be a great and great heirloom. Apart from rolling a poisonous needle, what else can this curse thing do?”

“What makes this thing the most powerful heirloom is, it does not need special training. Whoever holds it, even though he is the weakest, can kill dozens of people with just one tap of the lever. All of our rigorous training is pointless in the face of those hundreds of poisonous needles. Moreover, the slide is very heavy, if you do not have the knowledge to relieve the upper class body, it is very difficult to avoid the slide,” explained Sukma Harum.

“Oh so so? You can't even take it?”

“I don't want to bet on things that ****,” Laughter Raka.

“So not Renjani yes the culprit?” ask Antasena again.

“Oh I still remain suspicious of Renjani.”

“Why?”

“Because it could have been a mere charade. He pretended not to know about Bratagini. Pretending to not know how to use it. And didn't try to kill me back then.”

“Why?”

“Maybe because there are their plans that have not been implemented.”

“I'm surprised by the way you think,” Antasena said.

“Include me?”

“I'm crazy sometimes, but I'm not that crazy.”

“What is it that people say, you are too smart to go crazy?”

“Better to be crazy than to be evil,” says Raka with deep. It was as if there was something in his heart that he did not want to tell.

Not long after that, a train approached the area. At the end of the quiet forest, in the middle of the night, there was a carriage passing through the place. This is very rare, especially the train looks very luxurious.

The train then stopped not far from where Raka and Antasena were making campfires. The jusir came down with a fairly bright lantern. The step of the coachman was very tight and his movements were quite polite. Sounded he said, “Sampurasun, am I dealing with the lord of the swordsman Sukma Harum and the master of the swordsman Halilintar Hand?”

“Rampes, true ki sanak. Can we help you?” reply Raka was no less polite.

“My master, Tubagus Shiva Baruna, was on the train asking for permission to meet the two of you. Did you get permission?”

“Eh? The greatest swordsman in the archipelago?” whispered Antasena shocked.

“No need good raden ask permission to meet, let me who approached the train,” said Raka.

He then walked with the coachman to the train which was about 15 spears away from there.

When it was near, there was a sound from inside the train, “Does Raden Gandakusuma like to meet me, Sadika?”

Not yet the coachman replied, Raka has greeted first, “Sampurasun, raden nice. Abdi (me) had come to see him first. Is raden good there is a clue for the servant?”

“Oh raden Gandakusuma has arrived. Ah sorry. Abdi did not hear Raden's footsteps. It is a pardon not to say hello,” Shiva Baruna said as she opened the door of the train and got off her carriage.

The two of them are each other and judge each other personally based on the first glance.

Shiva Baruna looked at Sukma Harum as a very handsome, neat, smooth-talking young man, but not to lick and pretend.

Instead Sukma Harum views Shiva Baruna as a person who keeps honor, because he does not use hearing to hear the conversation of his coachman with Sukma Harum when they were talking earlier.

These two different warriors admired each other.

Shiva Baruna was a force above Raka. He's about 45 years old. He is known as the Sword of Angels. He is a descendant of the noble who is very smooth speech and manners. He has stopped traveling in the martial world, but is still occasionally involved with the affairs of the martial arts.

He is the most powerful swordsman in the archipelago.

“Sorry sassy man visited at night. Earlier on the road, the man passed by the Thunder of the Thunder Hands, Mr. Antasena. When he saw that he was in a hurry, there was also a little green flare above the sky, the servant suspected that of course Mr. Antasena was heading towards the flare. Abdi thought there was a problem until the man asked the coachman to turn the direction to follow Mr. Antasena. Maybe someone can help.”

Antasena who has arrived at the place that replied, “Ah apologize for the behavior of the servant even troublesome raden nice. It's not very tasty. Though the servant just rushed to see an old friend,” he said while jutting deeply.

“But it just so happened to meet raden Gandakusuma here,” Shiva Baruna said with a smile but his face hardened.

“Ah, good raden any instructions or orders what to the servant?” ask Sukma Harum.

“Abdi really did not want to ask, nor did he want to interfere, but...” said Shiva Baruna was a bit rowdy.

“Against this young and stupid servant is really good raden no need to hesitate.” said Raka earnestly.

“Good. With a little forced servant had to say it.”

He sighed for a while and continued, “There has been a lot of news in the martial world that Raden committed a lot of murders. I myself am sure Raden did not do it.”

“But?” asked Raka while lowering her face.

“But all the evidence points to Raden, and even people who are close acquaintances have also been the victims of this murder.”

“I understand,” says Raka.

If you mention “someone who knows near” without mentioning his name, that's certainly because you don't want others to know how close you are to him.

Raka did not want to ask further, he had understood this. He could guess who the victim was.

“So what should the servant do, good raden?” ask Raka.

“Will raden come with me to Kotaraja? I guarantee Raden will get a proper examination and trial. So that the truth can be revealed immediately and everyone can get justice.”

Raka let out a breath. He said, “Verily the servant really wants to come with a good raden. It's just that, the servant himself is investigating a case that defiles the name of this servant. If the servant comes to Kotaraja, the servant is afraid that all these events can not be dismantled the culprit.”

Shiva Baruna nodded in understanding. But he is the number one swordsman. All his words must be obeyed by people. This time a young man refused his request. But he was also a gentle man so he could not force.

He sighed too, then said, “Good. It seems that each of our wills has not been in line. Abdi suggested, did Raden Gandakusuma accept?”

“Sila says raden is good. Abdi serves.”

“What if we have a friendly match? If I lose, Raden can go. If Raden is the loser, then Raden should come with me. After all, it's been a long time since I've wanted to see the greatness of the famous Arka Kencana Kujang. Please Raden does not misunderstand,” Shiva Baruna said while jutting.

“Good. It's a really good way. Abdi agrees, raden. Just dear, Kujang Arka Kencana has been destroyed by people.”

“Eh?” it was a shock that Shiva Baruna heard it. Kujang Arka Kencana is a very powerful heirloom. Anyone who can destroy it is a very powerful person. “Who did it, raden?”

“The story is very long, raden. But here it is. Abdi proposed, what if we use tree branches only as weapons. It was just a friendly match. How?”

“Good capsule. We start now?”

“Good!”

The two of them then chose a branch of poon that was around. After finding them, each stood face to face.

“I Shiva Baruna, using the Sky Dragon sword style. Received a friendly match offer with Raden Rakantara Gandakusuma. No hate and no revenge,” he jutted with deep. “The sword” is pointing forward.

“I'm Gandakusuma's Partner, using the Dragon Conqueror's sword style. Received a friendly match offer with Tubagus Shiva Baruna. No hate and no grudges,” he joked anyway. The palm of his left hand was open and in front, while the right hand holding the sword was behind the waist. These are the first horses of the Dragon Conqueror Sword.

In Shiva Baruna's heart it seemed quite astonished to see Sukma Harum using a sword stance against him. But he was sure of course this young man did not carelessly take action, although he had never heard at all that this young man had ever used a sword or sword style. He believes, of course Sukma Harum has a sword style of storage that is only used at any time in urgent circumstances.

Antasena was holding back laughter. The Sky Dragon Sword Force against the Dragon Conqueror Sword Force. If previously Raka did not tell him, of course he would think his best friend was making up the name of the sword style for “menggoda” opponents.

“Mari!”

“Mari!”
