Black Ball
Chapters 2. Part 4's

The sun started to come down from the west as we had already killed all the remaining large gorillas.

I sat on a park bench not far from the building where the residents were sheltering. I leaned against a bench made of wood, held my head up, looking at the sky that was starting to turn red.

I let out a long breath, longer than usual.

Very tiring.

Not only was it tired from fighting that was unrelenting, but leading and telling others to do something, for me it was also very tiring.

If it wasn't for Rizkal's memory of doing it, I wouldn't have been able to do something like that.

In class, in my real world, I never did anything like that. Every day, almost all activities in my class are only used for sleeping and playing mobile phones. Even talking to friends I rarely do.

Other than having a weak body, I also felt not confident enough to say out loud. In contrast to me in this world. Besides being strong, Rizkal is also trusted by others.

Besides being exhausting, I was also very pitiful.

My tears finally came.

I took a deep breath again.

Not only that. I held my head up to watch the two little children walking not far from where I was sitting.

One of the kids was crying.

"Sister, why don't mom and dad wake up?"

"It's okay, brother is still here right? Let's go back to our old house, maybe there's still something precious we can find."

Wh why? Shouldn't in the other world be having fun, not seeing this kind of thing?

Although the great gorillas have all been defeated, the problem will not just disappear.

Many residents of the city lost their homes, even their family members. The surviving family members were of course looking for valuables in the ruins of their homes.

Whether it took how long the city would recover, the damage was already very severe. And there's no guarantee the monsters won't attack again.

Not only that, the next few days food problems will definitely appear. In addition to the storage warehouse already being damaged, it seemed like the big gorillas had also eaten it.

Whether the purpose of the great gorillas attacking the city is still a mystery.

I leaned my head again and closed my eyes.

Fortunately, there is a little good news. The body of a dead gorilla still has many benefits. The meat can be eaten, the skin can be made clothes and the bones can be used raw materials to make weapons.

Adventurers guilds also greatly protected the residents of the city when they were in need. In addition to preparing a place for a temporary sleep, they have also started taking all the necessary parts on the body of a large gorilla, while the meat is cooked for later in the night.

I also had heard, they had sent a message about the condition of the city to the royal capital. It should be in a few days, help is coming.

Even so, I feel like everything that happens in this world is just sadness.

Maybe I shouldn't be in this world for a while.

"Now" said someone I know very well, dragging me from daydreams. In front of me, Nazdia thrust out a bowl of food. She smiled sweetly.

Just looking at Nazdia, all my sadness and tiredness was like yawning.

Looks like I have to pull my words just now.

"Thank you." I received Nazdia's bowl.

Nazdia nodded then sat down beside me, she still held one bowl in her hand.

"Although the meat of large gorillas is very hard, but if we know how to cook it can be very soft," Nazdia explained with enthusiasm. "David it."

I nodded then took out a spoonful of large gorilla meat soup and put it in my mouth. As Nazdia said, just a few chews of meat inside my mouth were crushed.

"Soft."

"All right," Nazdia said with a proud smile, then looked at the scene in front of her. "At least tonight the townspeople aren't starving."

I agree, at least tonight they can sleep well.

"After this, Desfi's father as mayor here, wants to meet you in person."

"I get it" I said and tried to finish off the big gorilla meat soup quickly.

***

The sky turned dark as I laid my body on the bed.

Very tiring.

Not just taking a nap, just for a sitting break it seems like I can't do it.

I'm sure if my real body worked a full one would've fainted.

Fortunately I had Rizkal's body, one day doing a lot of work was just a little tired I felt. I believe with Rizkal's body I can work three to four days without sleep.

Not likely.

I shook my head loudly, not wanting to believe it let alone do it.

Even after making a lot of magic and killing all the remaining gorillas, I don't really remember what I did after that. I just followed the instincts from Rizkal's remaining brain.

Meet with the mayor, meet with important people of Banderang city and eat together after the sky is dark.

In fact, I don't really remember any of that.

All I wanted at that moment was to sleep and rest. But one thing I remember is that the three of us were asked to remain in Banderang city until help and royal troops came to this place.

Of course we agreed to it, after all we couldn't leave the city that was being nice to us first. Plus, seeing children who have lost their parents makes me feel like helping them.

Yet I was so amazed at Nazdia and Anifsa that I did not seem to complain at all, despite the work this time, most likely without any pay at all.

I turned my face to look at Nazdia who had closed her eyes.

Tonight, we slept in a special room for the three of us. With three mattresses that are only placed on the floor. When the residents of the city jostled to sleep in a large room, we were given a spacious room, of course very grateful.

Nazdia slept between me and Anifsa.

Seeing Nazdia's face from the side was enough to make me happy.

Before I closed my eyes, I remembered something, there was something I wanted to know.

I called Aisla in my mind.

My eyes turned gray.

Time stops.

Not long after that Pieria appeared, as usual she flew here and there before stopping right in front of me.

I slowly sat down. Of course only my spirit sits.

“APA!” pieria shouted very loudly after with both hands on her waist. “YOU ALREADY WANT TO GO BACK?”

“I haven't said anything.”

“Ah you are right, sorry,” he said without guilt by sticking his tongue to the side. “After all you are new in this world about 18 hours, in your world only 18 minutes.”

I realized something. “If you may know, if I sleep for 7 hours, can I live here for 420 hours? Or 17 full days?”

Pieria shook her head quickly. “To enter into this world, you must sleep very well, if you sleep 7 hours, sleep well only about 1-2 hours, or 2 - 4 days in this world.“

“If in my real world I suddenly wake up?”

“As I said yesterday, this world stops, although it is a bit uncomfortable when you come in here, you are standing or you are doing something. Remember, like when you entered this world.”

I nodded in understanding.

“Udah is that?”

"Of course not, the thing I want to ask is about today's events." I noticed Pieria who nodded looking understood. "I wonder what purpose the big gorilla attacked the town of Banderang?"

"Of course to kill a human being."

"Ehhh just that?"

"Yes that's all."

"I still don't understand."

"Something you'll understand."

"Hm." I was very dissatisfied with Pieria's reply, yet she didn't seem to care and just laughed mockingly at me.

"Well, I'll go first, see you later, Mr. Rizkal."

Time goes on again.

I took a deep breath and buried my face in the pillow that was provided for me.
