Towards the Unbeatable

Act 159: The Same Response (2)

"Ti-it's okay sir, we're just a bunch of adventurers ...." Kibo does not tire of explaining who they really are, again their image seems bad at this time.

Kibo had questioned what was wrong with him and all the people who were with him, so that everyone suspected him, even outside the village though.

The grandfather seemed to want to calm his son at that time, he slightly tiptoed to be able to pat his son's shoulder which was indeed a little higher than him.

"Ti-no .. what is my son ...."

And again Kibo wonder why everyone here did something similar, including the feeling of shock, fear, sharp gaze from the villagers they passed.

"Anu .. Can I ask you something?" Kibo wants to find out more about what motives (reasons) they wear by installing the less unpleasant mimic.

The grandfather answered Kibo's question. "Can .... what is it .. young person?"

"Look, why is it that almost everyone in this village looks at us with the same gaze?"

Kibo was sure that the grandfather could understand what he meant, namely that unfamiliar gazes were like fear, anxiety, and there were even some who pierced and intimidated.

But after hearing Kibo's question, the grandfather seemed to lower his gaze as if he did not want to answer the question that had been thrown.

After a while there was no answer Kibo was about to clarify his question, because it was possible that the grandfather did not understand what he really meant.

"Be-be this cake-"

"I ... know ... means .. nak .. but I need ... time to ... explain it ...."

"Let me explain it to you, Father" the young man told his father.

The grandfather caught a glimpse of his son's face, he looked still scared, and was sad, it even looked pale and seemed to force himself so that he could tell the reason behind them behaving like this to Kibo and his group.

The grandfather nodded his head in agreement with his son's offer, finally the young man raised his head again, still looking frightened but he was seen hiding it in order to answer questions from Kibo.

"Actually all of us in this village had a bad experience" the young man explained.

"Bad experience?"

Kibo was curious about the bad experiences of the villagers.

"Yes, and it involves adventurers ...." Seemed from the look of his face indeed he did not want to remember the bad experience, but what power, he had to keep explaining it to the Kinky Man so that everything became clear and transparent.

"You mean adventurers like us?" Kibo wants to further clarify the information he received so as not to misunderstand.

"Of course, because adventurers are people who often travel wherever they want. I just saw you guys this time, and I think that you gentlemen are none other than adventurers" said the young man, explaining in considerable detail.

Kibo nodded in agreement, it turned out that as simple as the reason, he was getting curious about the continuation of the story of the young man.

"What happened to those adventurers, what caused you to avoid adventurers so much?"
