The next morning, around 9 o'clock, around the place that used to stand the Gate was perfect.
The sunshine today was very bright, Sigiz and some of his soldiers stood still, and watched the 10 elite magicians of Arevelk Kingdom and Yekirnovo make a return ‘connect’. They wear clothes they wear when they arrive in Indonesia, which makes no sense for the warmer weather.
The soldiers who were wearing full metal clothes looked uncomfortable, some of them even appeared unsettled. The witches brought were dressed in the typical attire of the elite witches of the dark-colored Arevelk and Yekirnovo Kingdoms, and they were a little fine with the weather today. Given that Indonesia is entering the dry season, and the other world is entering a cold climate. Therefore, the witches and warriors who were here were barely able and wanted to take off their clothes.
Karanganyar does not have many buildings with a height of more than 40 meters, because this region is not the center of the province and is not a big city like Surakarta. Come to think of it, buildings with a height of 60 to 100 meters will often be found in big cities, the capital of the country. Large cities abroad, such as New York, Tokyo, or Moscow, have more buildings that are more than 100 meters tall.
The sunlight reflected from the glass of the building will cause the air to be slightly hot, he said, and that's why guests from other worlds can only stay in hotels or inns to prevent unwanted things, such as fainting because they can't stand hot weather.
Soldiers and magicians Arevelk and Yekirnovo are actually their hearts shaken by the view around them in the form of tall buildings. They assume that the 60-meter-high bell tower in the Kingdom of Arevelk is a very impressive structure. Moreover, the Palace and the defensive fortifications according to them were enough to be proud of. But, after wandering around a little in the Karanganyar downtown area, it made them look with stupid faces and feel amazed by the tall buildings in this region.
They felt that being between tall buildings was tantamount to being in a concrete valley, and realized how small they were. The fact that the Alliance declared war on a country that could create such a tall building caused them to worry about the fate of the Alliance. If you look around again, the tall buildings in Karanganyar City are still nothing with the ones owned by Surakarta City and the country's capital.
The remaking of a liaison that previously disappeared after the forced closure of the Perfect Gate is part of the ‘covenant’ with Indonesia that will send its Peacekeeping Forces. For the sake of peace and for the war to be over quickly, the witches paid no heed to the sunlight that felt could have roasted them. The soldiers on guard just watched, and let the sweat drench the body protected by metal armor.
Then, on this day, Kota Karanganyar hosted a meeting of the Indonesian government with Arevelk and Yekirnovo. The topic of discussion other than sending Peacekeepers is very important, and will be history for each country.
The place that will be the meeting location is the Student Army Headquarters, because the President does not want to bother returning to the State Palace or being in a vehicle for a long time to the big cities that are more appropriate as meeting places.
After all, the Student Army Headquarters in Karanganyar City is no less appropriate than meeting in the MPR/DPR building, or choosing the staff offices of three TNI matra which are all in Jakarta, and it's a waste of time if you have to go to the city.
Meanwhile, although this was not the first time Sigiz was in Karanganyar, he was still amazed by the tall buildings around him.
“Kira, if I want to hire Indonesian smart people who can make amazing buildings like this, does His Majesty Suroso allow it?”
Just after Sigiz said this, the police motorcycle sirens of the guard unit were heard, and a presidential car stopped with 2 cars behind it. Also seen some tactical vehicles were boarded by about 20 TNI AD soldiers.
Suroso got off the passenger seat in the presidential car which is said to be the vehicle with the highest level of security in the country. The body of the vehicle is said to be made of almost the same material as MBT armor, but made as light as possible. So that the car can withstand attacks such as grenades and anti-tank rockets. There is only one passenger seat for the president, and there is a small button on the armrest that serves to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles carrying nuclear weapons (if needed).
(olog note: shadowin Indonesia has nuclear ballistic missiles.).
Then, in the second and third cars down Sheyn, Lux, Edera, Zariv, and some TNI staff.
They also want to see the re-creation of the liaison before the meeting. Suroso walked and stopped 20 meters from where the witches worked. After all, the main reason for Suroso to this place was to wait for the preparations to be done, and to attend the meeting when the preparations were finished rather than wait for him. He was too bored at the hotel, and almost crazy for only receiving calls containing scolding from some heads of state who were jealous of not being invited to yesterday's ceremony.
Suroso only considers them troublemakers if invited to yesterday's ceremony, and surely they will strongly urge Suroso to be included in the peace mission.
Some of the summons of the head of state of Suroso regarded as coercion, because they wanted to send representatives to other worlds as well.
Then, the young president casually answered the request of some of the leaders of the country with:
“Ngak.”
After taking a hard stance against a country that is too forcing Indonesia to be willing to open the door again to the other world since the war is over, President Suroso unexpectedly gained great support and is expected to become president again in the next period.
Indonesia has learned from what the U. S. is doing with some Middle Eastern countries, and cannot imagine what the country would do if it were truly to another world. Even though the US has strong allies like Japan and Israel, it is not enough to fight in the other world to use weapons alone.
After all, Suroso felt that Indonesia's friendly countries in the other world did not necessarily allow the steps of some of these countries to participate in sending their representatives.
Just imagine, there is a huge untouched resource in another world. For a capitalist country it is like a field full of diamonds and oil. The resources that are starting to thin, must be a large country and have a strong influence in this world will do anything to get it.
Great resources are of immense value from another world.
China, the European Union, the Arab League and ASEAN are already acting and working together to gain influence from the rest of the world. According to them, there must be some countries in the other world that are interested in working with them.
The problem lies in the extent to which they secure influence if what they have done until now is to continue to force Indonesia to ask their friendly countries in the other world to open the door again.
For example, the US, they are still meddling in the conflicts of several Middle Eastern countries. Their actions on this one received criticism from several countries, and their influence was almost shifted by the countries allied to Indonesia.
Also, according to them (the countries that continue to urge Indonesia earlier), it is likely that not everything in the other world is useful. To educate otherworldly people whom they value barbarically and uneducated, it takes a large budget, manpower, and time. It was the same when the British colonized other countries, just using force was not enough.
Then, if they push Indonesia too much and often, they may be dragged into a bad situation. Because North Korea and Russia are countries that have a strong enough influence, and the main ally of Indonesia.
Russia and North Korea, as well as several other Indonesian allies agreed that the Peace Forces sent to the other world were for a just cause. But countries such as China and South Korea have questioned the Peacekeeping Forces, which are only filled by Indonesia and their main allies.
Whatever Indonesia and its allies do, the countries mentioned above will still criticize their actions. The existence of another world connected to this world through the Gateway had the greatest impact in the history of this century.
Just as the British explorers discovered Australia which caused it to become a powerful empire, the existence of other worlds and the Gates would greatly affect the structure of the world. As such, every government in the world is now watching closely what actions Indonesia and its allies will take regarding the Gateway.
Then, the country with the understanding ‘all things are jointly owned/country’ issued a statement if the other world is a place that must be investigated together. The state with this understanding states that even though Indonesia has been in contact with other countries in the world, other countries should be included in control, so that not only Indonesia benefits.
Then, you will be able to feel for yourself the quarrel between countries fighting over the other world.
First Lieutenant of the Student Army Nio was getting away from the Nike residence, the area around the blackened eyes doubled if Nio did not rest properly. Meanwhile, Nike took off Nio by standing in the middle of the door with a strange feeling.
The head feels dizzy if it does not sleep enough at night, and that is what Nio felt in the morning. In fact, at 1 pm is his schedule to become an aide to President Suroso at the meeting. Hopefully, Nio will not forget the important task, and will not fall asleep after arriving at the hotel.
Yesterday, at night…
Nio could not feel compelled to accept Surya's request to accompany Nike. After all, Nike was no stranger, and she was a friend of Nio's in High School despite not being a close friend. But still, Nio was going to spend the night with a girl, and there were only the two of them in this house.
In the letter Surya wrote, Nike is not a sister who is used to bearing her own difficulties. The feeling of sadness in Nike's heart is still felt until now even though Nio is in front of him, and certainly very draining feeling.
The way this girl looked at Nio was like a kitten that had been left by the side of the road.
“Ah... alright, I will sleep in the living room.”
The hotel where he stayed while in Indonesia is quite time consuming if he has to go there. And Nio felt that he was already sleepy, and dangerous driving in this condition. If something unwanted happens after Nio drives in a sleepy state, it is a very annoying thing. Therefore, it never hurts to ‘accept’ Nike stay request for tonight only.
Nike seemed to have believed everything if it was Nio, and he walked towards his bedroom and left Nio who was actually going to sleep in the living room.
People may have mistaken Nio for doing something with Nike. Because Nio could not imagine if the surrounding residents raided him, when he thought about it, Nio continued to wake up feeling unbecauseous until the day changed.
Nio restrained himself and did everything to keep himself calm while being in the situation of one house with a girl, and there were only the two of them here. When awake, he ties ‘rudal’ with a rubber band, and will only remove it when he wants to urinate. He does this to stifle his lust, even if it includes self-harm.
"I'm sorry, my missiles..."
He just didn't want to get out of control, and the experience when he found out the next-class kid who got pregnant was outside of Nio's own marriage. After all, she was still at an illegal age to marry by law. Nio will soon be 20, and the legal age to marry by law is 21 for men. For women, 19 is the legal age, and Nike is 20 this year. Both of their birthdays are only 1 month apart.
Not long ago, her subordinates in the 1st Traveling Squad teased her with the words, “Say, Peltu, is your type an adult female?”
Indeed, Nio wasn't very good at being around women other than his older brother. Then, Nio likes big-breasted women, and he feels silly if he really gets a girl of his type. If pressed, Nio would say that all chest sizes would make this world more colorful, it was just a lump of female body-forming fat.
In other words, Nio did not dare to touch just any woman despite getting many opportunities.
In the end, he managed to withstand all the things that could harm Nike to this day. Of course he felt pain in the missile for quite a long time tied up with a rubber band and a head that was dizzy from lack of sleep.
He approached a rental car parked in the yard of Nike's house. But, before Nio got into the car, Nike said:
“You'll be here again, right?”
Nio thought for a moment before answering the question, because his job was not just looking after someone else's sister. In the next few days Nio will get a job that concerns the future of relations between Indonesia, Arevelk, and Yekirnovo.
“Ya.. but not every day I go here.”
After all, Nio was thinking what happened to Nike when he was about to be on duty back to another world. That was the thing he was most worried about from Surya's orders to look after Nike.
Thinking about it too hard made Nio's head even more dizzy and said, “Quickly I'll be here again.”
The car then got out of the yard and was ready to head to the destination, but Nio got back out of the car after seeing something shocking. Nio who got out of the car made Nike curious, and decided to approach him.
Nio walked up to the fence of a house that contained a letter that contained if this house was sold along with the phone number of the seller of the house. This is what makes Nio delay his destination back to the hotel, and see this house for sale.
Houses made of containers are the type of residence that is quite a lot of existence. In addition to the cheaper price of a house made of brick, container houses are semi-permanent, aka can be moved. Unlike the brick house that is almost impossible to move. Then, the two-story container house sold attracted Nio's attention.
As there was no need to think long, Nio directly contacted the person who sold this house. Nike just stood up, and did not ask any more because he felt that Nio would indeed buy a house that was right next to his house.
After a few minutes of contacting the house seller, Nio's grim face turned bright.
“Good, later I will wait for the father in Pancasila Park at 8 pm. Because if during the day my work is very much,” Nio said like that with a happy face.
Then, the house seller agreed to Nio's proposal regarding the place and time of the meeting.
If this house belonged to her, Nio planned to have her brother stay here while watching Nike. If necessary, Arunika can invite Lisa to live together.
“Nike, finally I don't have to worry about you.”
“Eh? Why?”
“Because this house will soon be mine, and my brother will stay here. You'll have friends as long as I'm on duty.”
Nike's eyes widened, and subconsciously smiled after hearing Nio's words.
Inwardly, Nike said, “That means, Nio and I live opposite each other.
