The guardians of the past

episode 9

Rara raised her head slowly, and there the man, the Wira rahiyangtang raksa, sat on one of the low branches of the tree . The man's legs swung forward and backward, reminding Rara of the little boy. But there was nothing childish with the smile that the man gave.

For a while, Rara only looked blankly at Wira, while her emotions began to recover from feeling disappointed. Acute anxiety is the right word to describe his feelings that begin to appear.

Was he initially starting to really be sure he could control this man? The heroine could clearly be the winner of the most aggressive, warlike, and most bar-bar contest ever.

Rara would have run to her car at the time, if only she could remember where her car was, so she just said what she had in mind, “How did you get there?” and hope that the question can also divert what is on the mind of the Hero.

Then Rara got an answer from Wira, which upset her, “you can indeed call me, but I chose where I wanted to set foot, and I chose not to go down first now”.

The new hero will come down right in front of Rara when Rara jumps away from the tree, from where Wira will jump down. Laughter Wira softly, aware of Rara's thoughts . The hero knows exactly how Rara feels, and how scared Rara is. It is not at all a good situation to do a deal for Rara.

Rara wore glasses like a shield, and her hair was coiled tighter than usual, just to be sure. Rara knew she had taken the risk that was considered a challenge by Wira to get rid of her glasses and hairband, but she had absolutely no intention to overtly try to attract the man. He thinks it's not that important.

Now Rara straightened her shoulders and tried to shake off the impression of fear she had just shown. And in a tone of voice that tries to sound assertive, Rara said, “I want to talk to you Wira.”

The hero was not impressed. The expression of the Hero, and the way the Hero jumped from the branch of the tree, showed that he looked amused. “you can do it..... Later.”

The hero descended to the ground about two meters from Rara, but unfortunately, the man did not remain there. Rara remained standing in her place as Wira approached her. Running would not confirm his ultimatum, which he would say in a moment, before the man completely closed the distance between them.

Wira stopped, about half a meter from Rara, actually Wira can reach Rara, but he did not do it. Instead, Wira looked down at the ground between them as if hoping to see a trap that would open and swallow him.

But there are only grass and some flowers. So the hero looks the other way, around him, and the man's tension implies that he is expecting an army to hide in the field.

Without turning to Rara, and still searching for the tip of the arrow or the flash of the sword Wira said hurriedly, “explain nyi, what will hold me here?”

Rara thought about running away at this time, because after knowing what the Hero was thinking, she was sure that the man would be angry because of what he was going to say. But he kept saying it.

“I'll be holding you back.”
