We have been living in the middle part of Bloody Hell city for a week. The real territory is very pleasant and peaceful to start a new life. Especially for the newlyweds hehehe. Our activities of the winners of this week-long tournament have been quite busy.
Almost every day we attended a meeting with some elders in the city of Bloody Hell to greet, meet and just introduce us to the entire population of the city. The winners of the tournament are considered like heroes in this city. A city that values power more than anything, a strong one is in power in this city.
Ruby and Zircon's wedding preparations are slightly delayed. The organizers and Ruby's men fail to discover the whereabouts of Jade and Uncle Obsidian. This makes Ruby so do not have a guardian to give blessing to her marriage. And as per custom in this area their marriage cannot be considered valid without a guardian.
As an alternative, Ruby and other tournament organizers plan to hold a wedding party first. Ruby and Zircon's engagement party is scheduled to be held later tonight.
Huh, I did not think that among the four of us Zircon was even the first one to formalize his relationship with a woman. Zircon is very cold, difficult to get along with, even the slowest in finding his love.
'Damn it! He even precedes me now!'
The engagement party will be held at the home of Zircon, the home of the tournament winner. Because of the busyness and complexity of the tournament committee in arranging the party, we all ended up evacuating at my house. The house that I got as the third champion of the tournament is not that far from Zircon's house.
The girls were busy packing their things. Their groceries more precisely. Tomorrow or the day after, Opal and I will take them back to the West Line and then back to the Palace. Repatriate them.
And as if their departure here was for an excursion, they did not want to miss out on all the shopping buying all the goods and trinkets that they could not find in the palace area. Women, never far from what is called shopping.
Like Amethys who bought a lot of medicinal ingredients from traditional stores in the Perifer Bloody Hell area market. My girl bought very useful items of course.
Saphir and Platina also do not want to miss buying a variety of desert clothes and jewelry and accessories commonly used in this city. Useless and troublesome items only.
"What are you bringing, Saphir? Your gear won't fly you mind the payload." My rebuke to my sister who is busy packing her groceries in large bags.
"Just kid, my gear is that weak!" saphir answered me. Continuing his packing activities.
"Yes the reason when you want to fill your cockpid with such obscure items," I protested.
"Udah deh sis, do not rest and sirik." Saphir turned away from me in annoyance.
Meanwhile Platina and Amethys giggled to see me being sprayed by my own sister. Huh basic, even though they are just as struggling to pack their groceries.
Instead of continuing the quarrel with the girls, I finally approached Opal. Discussing the return path that we will take to the West Line later.
"Have you contacted Lieutenant Goldy?" Opal made sure of me.
"It has. I've also told him to ask for an escort from the palace for them" I replied.
"Is your gear equipped with free zone map navigation? How did you get here first?" Opal asked me about something very important. Free zone navigation map.
"Only to the West Line. I used to be here picked up by Ruby on her plane, "I remember the process of my arrival to this Bloody Hell city.
"That means you'll just ask Ruby for the navigation map. He must have, right?" lightweight Opal chirps.
"I asked for it?" many sanctions.
"hey are. I think he's closer to you than I am. But be careful not to be seduced you know, herder dog is fierce now hahahha," answered Opal casually.
"Hahahaha that's right. How dare I harass his future wife Zircon." I laughed amusedly at Zircon's annoyed face if I got close to Ruby. It's funny the original saw such a drastic change in him.
Without wasting any more time, I immediately went from Opal's side to go look for Ruby. And I found the girl, of course, in Zircon House. Prepare everything there.
"Ruby, can I talk to you for a second?" I asked the girl and asked for permission from Zircon who was with her. Borrowed his future wife for a moment.
Ruby immediately smiled as she welcomed my arrival. "Colonel. Sure thing!" The girl immediately stamped and grabbed my arm.
While Zircon immediately threw a piercing look at me. Duh that kayakmya son already bucin really the same Ruby. Could he be jealous of me try? Doesn't she know Amy's already there for me?
"I want to tell your future wife, Zirc." I told her while taking Ruby out of the room. I ignored his gaze as if saying 'don't fuck around, ' to me.
"What do you need, Colonel?" ask Ruby
"I want to ask you for help. About map navigation in free zone. I'm sure you and all your colleagues must have it." I told him.
"Colonel want to get out of here?" Ruby didn't look happy to hear that.
"I want to send the girls back to the West Line. It's too dangerous for them." Honestly answered.
"Oh. I see." replied Ruby.
"Later I'll have my men shake the map navigation into your gear." That girl doesn't seem to mind my jawban.
"Thank you Ruby" I thanked her.
"No problems."
"I'm so glad you got Zircon as your man." I told her to express joy over their relationship.
"You must be happy because I can't chase you anymore, right?"
"Hehe was honestly a bit sad as well. It feels like something is missing" I admit.
"But I know very well you're just obsessed with me, not love. And I honestly care about you too, I love you. I love you like Saphir and Platina, like my sister." I told you what I thought of him.
"I know..." Ruby suddenly hugged my body. Light and warm hugs in the absence of a vibe of romance. Purely like a brotherly embrace.
"I'm sorry for all my mistakes to you, Colonel. Me, I've been troubling you too much." Ruby sounded very sorry for her actions.
"Stupid girl. It is appropriate for a younger sister to trouble her brother? I'm your big brother." I'm patting Ruby's head on gently.
"From now on don't call me Colonel again, you can call me Brother."
"Sister....Brother Diamond...Thank you very much." Ruby hugged me even tighter. As if it was his last goodbye hug to me. It was as if he wanted to end all our previous relationships.
Now it's time for both of us to start a new relationship, like a brother. Especially if she is going to be Zircon's wife later, Ruby will automatically become like my own sister-in-law.
"There's one place I want to ask you to check. I'll tag it later in the navigation map." Pinta Ruby hesitated a little after releasing her wound to me.
"What's that place?" manya curious.
"The location is not far from the West Line. I suspect my father is there right now." Ruby replied doubtfully.
"Your father? General Obsidian?"
"really. And I'm afraid something happened to him so he can't go home for long enough. Please bring my father back here alive or dead." Ruby's tone sounded very worried.
"Live or die?" many confused.
"Well, the worst possible thing is that." There's sadness on Ruby's pretty face.
Maybe Ruby is also a little doubt about the circumstances and safety of her father who has even disappeared without news before Christmas. It was almost two months from now that he disappeared.
"alright. I'll look for him for you." Said. Partly out of wanting to help the girl, partly because indeed looking for Obsidian's uncle was our goal from the start.
