The Musafir

The Adorable Forest Rabbit

“Rose meat seems delicious for dinner, Mantingan.”

BIDAFARI North RIVER looks at the deer that ran away. The girl sighed and shook her head slowly.

“Don't we still have jerky from Granny Genih?”

“Deng is dried meat. The meat taste is less. Just imagine if you manage to catch a deer alone, we will eat fresh meat tender again sweet. Unlike hard jerky, tasteless, even bitter taste.”

Manten smiled awkwardly, if only he could cook jerky properly then maybe the jerky would be tender, fresh, again sweet.

“Saudari Sungai, I do not like to hunt animals in the forest that are not farm animals. But if you want fresh meat, I can find a forest rabbit, not a deer.”

“Do not rabbits! Are you crazy?!”

The reaction of the North River Angel made Mantingan wrinkle his forehead. What's wrong with the forest rabbit? Isn't rabbit meat as sweet and savory as venison?

The gaze of Mantingan made the Angel of the North River bring up the reason, “Sorry if you are offended, but you should know that adorable animals like rabbits are not animals worth eating.”

Hearing that, Mantingan's forehead grew increasingly wrinkled. Perplexities. Since when are wild rabbits adorable animals? Hasn't the Angel of the North River ever been chased by a fierce forest rabbit? Mantingan once felt it, where he ran fiercely chased by a large forest rabbit who was either hungry or just ignorant. That's really terrible.

“How can a forest rabbit kaukata be adorable?”

“Areally the reindeer look adorable to you? Why don't you hunt him?”

Mantingan took a long breath. “Then, no animals we will hunt.”

“Yes, but you have to buy me a lot of meat when you stop by the diner.”

The coat smiled wryly. There was no other choice for him if the Northern River Angel had said so. Ah, no, more precisely if the woman had said so.

LIGHTNING STRIKES. The worried rain finally arrived. With flashes and roars of lightning coming and going. Mantingan justifies the position of the caping on his head, while the North River Angel raises a wide banana leaf to protect his body from rainwater.

The shade of the trees helped a little by dispelling the rain that fell like thousands of arrows on the battlefield. The mantan could only sigh as his clothes began to get wet, unavoidable. While the Angel of the North River shivered in horror when lightning flashed across the sky for a moment, one would see him shivering with the cold of the rain, when the cold of the rain could not defeat the Kenanga-given robe worn by the Angel of the North River.

Luckily, when the black-and-gray cloud pack got there, the wind subsided. It was there that the black mega-mega lowered its entire water, while elsewhere it simply passed carrying a strong wind without shedding much water speck. Even so, occasionally lightning still struck.

The Mantingan still walked slightly in front of the North River Angel. Should use a little science to relieve the body from slipping on wet ground or rocks. But Bidadari Sungai Utara still slipped several times even though it has deployed the science of relieving the body.

The girl said that she was not used to using the science of lightening the body at times like this, she only used it in match practice, and indeed the science of lightening the body he mastered is devoted to facing the fight.

Many times the Angel of the North River slipped and fell, many times the girl complained or screamed in pain, as well as many times the Mantin helped her to get back up. Just like it just happened.

“Sorry, I'm too much trouble you.” The Northern River Angel laughed awkwardly as Mantingan pulled out his two hands.

“Nothing, this must have hurt.” The mantel gave a smile under his caping.

“If we move at high speed with bouncy above the trees, is that not better for you?” Mantingan thought that they should move above rather than moving below the slippery terrain. Although it was very draining, at least the North River Angel did not need to fall again.

The North River's angel shook his head. “I had a bad experience bouncy when it was raining. At that time, I fell and could not rise for almost two weeks.”

The smiling mantel was horrified. Two weeks can't get up? It's kind of horrible for him to be adventurous.

“But at least as I lay on the bed, my lover kept me by the side. If you want to take care of me when I'm sick, then let's bouncy on the tree.” The Northern River Angel showed her sweet smile.

The mantan smiled more and more in horror, then he shook his head many times. Bad thoughts, their journey could falter and great danger could come to them if the North River Angel lay without being able to rise for two weeks.

“It's good we wait for the rain to subside, but before that I will look for a cave or a large tree that shady.” The mantan turned around, about to dart away, but the Northern River Angel grabbed his arm.

“You want to leave me ... again?” said.

“Shortly a minute.” Without saying much, the mantingan took out a sheet of ejection, bending it until it glowed. The mantan took the time to bounce off some Magic Throw at Grandma Genih's house, including the Light Throw. “Saudari hold this, at least the atmosphere will not be too scary. If there is something, throw it up with deep energy. This ejection will explode and emit a bright light if a lot of energy flows in. Make sure this thrower is already on top before it explodes, which means Sisters have to throw it shortly after the power flow in.”

Mantingan explained it clearly and with a sentence as necessary, so that the Northern River Angel could only nod like a child obedient to his mother.

“Now I'll go, take care of yourself.” The mantang showed a parting smile before his body disappeared from sight. So quickly did the Mantingan disappear, that the Northern River Angel was late in seeing which way the young man was going.

COAT BACK. Along with the lightning that struck, so his presence made the Northern River Angel cry out in fear. Mantingan looked at the girl in a daze, while the one being stared back at the figure of Mantingan.

“Ah, it's you Mantingan! I guess who.” The Angel of the North River caressed his chest.

Mantingan cleared his throat several times before saying, “I've found a shady spot around here, let's follow me slowly.”

Lightning once again struck, the rain was getting heavier. The banana leaves that the North River Angel holds as an umbrella are no longer able to withstand the onslaught of water, lucky Kenanga's watertight giving robe. However, still the part that must be protected is the head, while the head of the North River Angel is completely unprotected.

“My window is wide enough for Sister.” The mantan took off and extended the caping to the North River Angel.

“How about yourself?”

“I'm used to rain.” Mantingan continued to stick out his caping until the North River Angel with a heavy heart received it.

“I'll help Sister walk, heavy rain makes the land more slippery.”

note:

Sorry yesterday did not update, rainstorm hit the city of Depok. Causing large trees to fall on houses and streets. In my own place almost the entire banana tree collapsed. Unsteady reed trees fell, hitting the ground. The lights go out, that's when the battery runs out.
