It Seems They Don't Know That Your Meat Is So Cold

“Hahaha, relax, I've chopped them all.” Laugh before realizing something.

Mattress's burning! Kala's body was not exposed to the effects of heat from the fire in Alang's body, but not with the mattress that Kala occupied. It's really on fire!

Kala jumped from the mattress and Alang put out the fire on his body. Kala took out a transparent blue-colored pill and threw it firmly towards the mattress, this pill had also made Kaia shiver at the beginning of the meeting.

Cold white smoke burst out, Kala threw another pill, the smoke increased. The whole room suddenly became cold, the smoke began to disappear and the fire was completely extinguished, but the mattress only stayed skeletons due to the heat of the fire Alang.

“Luckily the mattress is on fire, or not I will fall asleep continuously here.” Kala realized that his legs could actually stand but Kala was too relaxed, he scratched his head.

The door opened with Kaia carrying a long bamboo stick. “What happened? Why is it so cold?”

Kaia's eyes looked at the scorched bed frame and her gaze stopped at Kala, as if asking for an explanation.

Kala leaned against the shady tree trunk, next to Kaia. His hand grabbed the mask that covered his face.

“Well, this is better.” He closed his eyes and turned up.

The three of them are out of town. The mask makes it easy for them to walk away. The figure of Alang as a companion of Kala has also spread, Alang must disguise into sparrows and blend with them. Kaia also bought a mask and changed her clothes.

“There is one thing I want to say,” Kaia said doubtfully.

“Tell me.” He answered while his eyes were still closed.

“Si the manager of the association came to me four days ago, he handed me the sword sheath you ordered. I promise I'll pay for everything if you're sober ...” Kaia said with excessive fear and guilt.

“That's it? Why are you so scared?” Kala flicked his hand and a bag appeared full of energy stones.

“I don't want to spend your money, I just want you to hire me and get paid. I'll pay with my own ability.”

“All you need to do is be the Kaia I know. After all we can't linger in the city any longer, we have a lot to do. I warn you to take heart because the path I take is full of blood.” Kala thrust out that bag of energy stones. “This is your first salary.”

“Aki don't want to trouble you.” Kaia.

“You are under my responsibility. This is my duty, after all I am glad there are travel companions.”

“Eak!”

“Surely Alang, you are my first traveling companion.” Kala stroked the Alang on his shoulder.

“Eak, eak eak. Eak eak, kayk keak.” Alang slightly whispered so as not to be heard by Kaia.

“Hm? Alang said, you cried hysterically when you saw me covered in blood and unconscious. Also you always wait for me in the room day and night until you forget to eat? Even when Alang came to my room, you cursed yourself for causing all this?”

“It ... it ...” Kaia stuttered immediately.

“Have you eaten?” Kala.

Kaia lowered her head then shook her head. Kala smiled gently and explained that novice pranors like Kaia still could not use Prana as food.

“Eak, eak eak!”

After Alang spoke like that, Kala and Kaia looked at each other for a while.

That Alang said made them awkward, “I want to protect Kala but also can not leave Kaia, always together so that I can protect you at once”.

***

Kala was making sure all the goods were not left here, while Kaia was delivering money to the Wengi Manuk Association. Aditya is persuading Kala to stay here longer, but Walageni invites Kala to leave in light of his duties. Kala also prepared a map and also an identification medal.

After making sure no one was left behind and Kaia was back, Kala said goodbye. They were at the door of the city after successfully disguising themselves.

“Take care of yourself, Young Man, Warrior Progo right behind you.” Walageni patted Kala's shoulder.

“Thank you, Old Man.” Kala turned to Aditya, but he held back for a moment.

Aditya was still shocked and could not digest what happened. There are two facts he just found out. Kala turned out to be true Garuda Knights according to rumors circulating and Kala already knew about Laskar Progo.

“Hei, Friend. I hope you're not too down-to-earth given your high and rare achievements. I will go, but I will never forget all your help and kindness. If there is an age, we will meet again.” Kala patted Aditya's shoulder.

“Ah, sure. Thank you very much for defeating the Ice Crystal Castle, it means a lot.”

“Ah, that's just a problem I made, so it's my duty to finish it.” Kala waved her arm. “Then, we will go.”

The three of them stepped away from the city door. Kala and Kaia took off her mask and breathed a sigh of relief.

“Where are we next?” ask Kaia.

“Ke anywhere.” Kala answered lightly. “We will eradicate crime, poverty, and kill corruption, it will be fun.”

Kaia glued the coiled sword rope around her body. “But my grudge is still unfinished.”

“I can't give priority to your grudges, you know I'm a Garuda Knight. My focus is to find a way for the Demon Eye Crystal to disappear from your body.” Kala said with determination.

“However, what if I'm going to stay dead and my grudges are not reciprocated?”

Again Kaia talked about it, but Kala held back her anger because she knew that she was the first one to start. Breathing to control emotions.

“Ice Crystal Castle will always make trouble, someday we will come into contact with them. If they keep throwing tantrums, I'll obliterate that college.” Kala smiled gently and said, “are you satisfied with that answer?”

Kaia nodded slowly at the sign of understanding. Alang landed on Kaia's shoulders to give her some motivation. Kala chose to suck the pipe so that the trip can be enjoyed.

The road they pass through divides Telu Forest, directly bordering between Geowedari and Pandataran. The roads here are dangerous because not through the main line, spirit beasts and robbers are the factor. For ordinary humans, walking on this road without an escort is the most ridiculous act of suicide.

Those things make this road very quiet and minimal maintenance. There are many weeds in the middle of the road and sometimes there are fallen trees that block the road. Kala also felt that rarely anyone hunted here, evidenced there were many eyes that looked at him ferociously.

“I feel bad, I think this forest is haunted.” Kaia rubbed her back neck with a worried look.

“Not a ghost, but there are a lot of wild beasts staring at you. Looks like they don't know that your meat is very cold.” Kala laughed softly.
