Ch 29 - Cruise
Rifki and Elsa were wide-eyed at the palm-sized sailing ship that was now in Yu Lei's palm.
“Seriously?! Such a small ship how could it be boarded? Stamped alone can be destroyed.” said Elsa surprised unknowingly with Indonesian.
“Ah, you must be surprised. Yes, this is indeed something very expensive. Hahaha.” Said Yu Lei proudly, she doesn't know what Elsa is saying exactly but she takes Elsa by surprise because she could own an airplane that would normally only be owned by kingdoms and transportation companies on the continent.
Elsa and Rifki looked at each other and winked. It seemed that senior Yu Lei misunderstood them again. But at least they were grateful because Yu Lei did not know what Elsa had said exactly.
Although Yu Lei looked like a lovable madman, they were certain that Yu Lei was not a madman.
Yes, how could a madman have so many treasures.
Ah, it was possible that he was indeed crazy since no normal person would give a pile of treasures at their first meeting.
“Ehm, can senior Yu Lei show how it works?” Rifki asked without hiding her curiosity. How could such a small ship be boarded by a human?!
After all, this was a world that was still very foreign to him. Although he could manipulate energy and atoms, knowledge of the laws of space was something he had never learned.
“Ah, you see, this button is to set the size of the ship. You can set it according to your needs.” Yu Lei said as he moved the button to the size of the middle section and placed it on the ground.
The ship grew so big that they had to get out of the way because it took up space between the trees and got stuck between the trees.
Seeing that, made Elsa remembered the technology of ship capsules and houses made by Bulma in the film Dragon ball.
“Ups sorry, I think this is already quite small, but it turns out it is still very big” Yu Lei said smiling innocently. He had indeed never used that ship since he had received it from Xiao Hu. Because he would rather go anywhere by flying directly than on a boat. For him to board the ship was too conspicuous and troublesome.
Then Yu Lei again set the button so that the ship becomes a little smaller so as not to get stuck between the trees.
Now the ship measures about ten meters long, five meters wide, and six meters high. Made of wood and some ornaments of metal that make it look like an ancient ship belonging to the kingdom.
Yu Lei also invited the two of them into the ship. There is a door on the hull so they do not have to bother jumping on deck.
Arriving inside, Yu Lei brought them upstairs and showed them how the ship works. Even though he barely ever boarded this ship himself, but he still remembered how Xiao Hu and his men were accustomed to piloting the ship.
“This ship uses spiritual crystals like this as its source of driving energy. I've prepared a number of crystals here to stock up if these crystals run out.” Yu Lei said as he pointed out where the energy crystal worked and the crystal storage box that was underneath.
The crystal that was in the storage box was something that Xiao Hu had prepared beforehand.
“You can determine the direction, altitude and speed of the ship here.” said Yu Lei explained one by one part of the ship.
He also described how to control the ship. The ship started to slowly climb up, breaking through the lush foliage without any difficulty as Yu Lei had already flung the branches of the trees above them to provide a way out for the ship.
The sight of branches of large trees that can move freely like tentacles that get out of the way and give way is often seen in animated films, but seeing in person is enough to make Elsa a little surprised. Why did it seem that the trees were like servants paying their respects? Could this be just my imagination?
Since Yu Lei was a forest spirit, it was very easy for him to move the plant branches without damaging them.
The ship continued to rise above the clouds.
“Where are you going?” Yu Lei asked to determine the direction they should go.
Rifki also showed a place on the map, and Yu Lei arranged for the ship to go there at a normal speed.
After he finished, Yu Lei then took them around the ship and pointed out things that needed to be taken care of.
“There is a kitchen and some groceries on the back of the ship. There are several rooms equipped with a bathroom. This ship has several places that function such as storage rings to store water, food reserves and dirt. So don't forget to replenish the water if you find the water source.” The food and water that existed were also things that Xiao Hu had prepared beforehand because as a forest spirit, Yu Lei had absolutely no need for food or drink at all to replenish his energy. Eating is just a hobby in itself. Because he was basically lazy to cook, so he just wanted to enjoy the food made by others.
Elsa sees the food storage space as a giant refrigerator filled with various ingredients of meat, fish, poultry and fresh vegetables grown with hydroponics. It made her feel like she was entering a private supermarket.
“Alright, I will accompany you all to the edge of the forest.” Said Yu Lei in the end.
“Thank you so much senior Yu Lei.” Rifki said sincerely.
“Ah, no need to feel uncomfortable. You are the heir of my best friend, of course I have to help you.”
Then they talked and talked about life in this world and their home world. While the direction and speed of the ship felt so stable speeding above the clouds.
From Yu Lei's story, they were able to deduce that this world was inhabited by several human races, demon beasts, and dragon races.
On average they were all cultivators so they had an extremely long lifespan.
The currencies used were bronze, silver, gold and crystal coins.
“Ah, so you guys are from another world. It's worth it that the clothes you wear are different.” said Yu Lei excitedly.
Hearing that, Elsa also plans to change her clothes with the clothing model commonly used here. Elsa seemed to remember that there were many clothes in the ring dimension given by Yu Lei.
“Can I follow you when you return to your world?” Yu Lei asked excitedly.
“Sure!” Elsa replied happily. Yu Lei's personality was very energetic and Elsa was quite excited to chat with him
“Alright, I'm waiting for you. This is the forest. Sorry, I can only take you here.” Yu Lei finally said goodbye, smiling the figure then disappeared in an instant as if it had never been there once.
If not for the existence of the ship and the storage ring that Yu Lei had given them, they would definitely think that all of that was just a dream.
Elsa was stunned for a moment. When Rifki called him she was still a little dazed.
“Let's prepare food!” Rifki said as she pulled Elsa's hand into the kitchen.
Elsa wakes up and follows Rifki into the kitchen.
“What do you want to eat?” elsa asked as she saw so much fresh meat and vegetables in the storage room.
Looking at the room, Elsa has a desire to make their home a self-service filled with hydroponic vegetables.
Imagining how the whole house is filled with fresh vegetables seems to be a lot of fun.
Without much thought, Rifki took the beef and ingredients to make the steak.
“What? You want to move this whole room into our house?!” Said Rifki trying to guess Elsa's mind.
“Hehehe... “ Elsa can only put on a sweet smile to mask her embarrassment. Hope Rifki lets him make that happen.
Elsa also plans to open a restaurant that comes from self-grown vegetables. The restaurant is only open six hours a day, at breakfast two hours, at lunch two hours and at dinner two hours.
Live a simple and healthy life and make a little money at home.
“Yes, later if we have come home, we ask senior Yu Lei to arrange it.” Rifki said with a smile.
“Yes! Mmuach!” Choking happy, Elsa immediately kissed Rifki cheek.
Rifki was flushed and stunned for a moment. He had no idea that such a small thing could make Elsa so happy.
Rifki smiled at Elsa who was again busy with various food ingredients like nothing happened.
“Ehm..., Sa.” call Rifki trying to make the happy Elsa pay attention back.
“Ya?” elsa replied seriously handling the seasoning without seeing Rifki.
“Afight here!” Persuak Rifki's.
Elsa stopped her hand and faced Rifki.
A second later, Rifki kissed Elsa's lips.
Elsa was stunned for a moment and then returned the kiss.
Elsa feels her whole body participating in enjoying Rifki's kiss.
Elsa felt a little embarrassed to feel the moisture flowing between her legs just because of Rifki's kiss.
His face flushed red and he was slightly drunk by both of Rifki's wet lips.
Although they have made various kinds of intimate contact, but a kiss like this is something that feels new to him.
His body and soul seemed to be satisfied with just a kiss.
Elsa felt dazed as Rifki released her lips, as if her soul was trapped in a vortex of taste.
"Next time, there's no shame in kissing my lips." The word Rifki resuscitated Elsa which of course made Elsa even more red.
Elsa's face looked even more adorable to Rifki, making her want to kiss her again and again. Without thinking, Rifki kissed Elsa again and again. Suddenly a voice sounded.
"Ehm, sorry to interrupt for a moment. I forgot to remind you." Yu Lei suddenly appeared making the two embarrassed.
Elsa drowned her red face in Rifki's chest.
"I forgot to give you this." Yu Lei took out two pieces of stone carved with some ancient runes.
Is this some kind of identification? Elsa thought astonished as she accepted and observed the stone more closely. An astonished expression also appeared on Rifki's face.
"This is a remote communication tool in this world. You can just drip your blood so this device can recognize you as its owner." Hearing the word dripping blood again made Elsa want to vomit blood. Although he was used to seeing blood but it was very uncomfortable if he had to hurt himself again and again.
Inevitably, Elsa and Rifki try to drip their blood onto a strange stone in their hands. Suddenly a light appeared from within the stone.
Then Yu Lei took out another stone that seemed to be his communication stone.
"Since you already have a communication stone, I will identify your stones so that we can contact each other."
He began to show how to identify the stone by stacking two stones until both of them glowed in an instant.
After the three stones identified each other, Yu Lei explained how the stone worked.
Suddenly Elsa remembered the term "HP pathak asu" or "HP mbalang asu" aka "HP for throwing dogs". The term for HP of old who still use 2G technology which is usually large enough and heavy so that if used to throw a dog enough to make the dog dying.
While weighing the communication stone, Elsa thought to try it occasionally because it felt the weight of the stone was quite steady and also because it was made of stone so it was sturdy enough to be thrown many times. He started to smile when he thought about it. It seems that people will faint if their head is hit by the stone.
Especially considering that the stone has the function of being able to fly back to the owner of the stone. Yes, it seems very suitable to be used as a weapon. Elsa is sometimes quite envious when she sees a flying sword in a Chinese martial arts movie. Now he was very satisfied because he could finally have his own unique flying weapon, a flying stone.
Seeing Elsa's smile while weighing the stones, Rifki knows what is on her mind so she is forced to hit Elsa's head to stop her wild imagination.
"Call me if you're in trouble. No matter where you are, I will try to come as soon as possible." Yu Lei's words warmed Elsa's heart.
"Hey, by the way what are you cooking? It smells so good!" Yu Lei asked as she smelled the scent of steak. He ran over to the steak and ate it straight by hand as if the hot steak was not hot at all.
"Hey, I just found out, it turns out meat can be this delicious." He said while licking his fingers after devouring all the steak meat in a large size pot very quickly.
Because both are very fond of steak and because there are only large cookware in the kitchen of the Rifki ship deliberately seasoned enough meat so that later they do not bother too much when roasting it.
Elsa and Rifki looked at each other. Where did the meat go one pot? Why did Yu Lei's stomach not seem to change in size at all?!
"Ah, it feels like it's been a long time since I've eaten so much. Thank you! I'll visit you again next time." Said Yu Lei while patting the shoulders of Elsa and Rifki who were still in shock. Then he disappeared again.
Elsa's heart was bleeding against a shameless food robber like Yu Lei.
Unfortunately, both have no right to be angry. After all, it was originally Yu Lei's gift. If it was said to return any gratitude it was still not worth what Yu Lei had given them.
It seems that they will have to cook even more in the future in anticipation of the unexpected arrival of food robbers.
Elsa was grateful that there was at least a little leftover seasoning sauce in the pot so that they did not need to make any more seasoning, simply adding a slice of beef to their meal this time.
Note:
Sorry to keep you all waiting so long. Thank you, your comments make me excited to write again.
