Pandeka the Sword of the Crescent Moon
Chapt. 5 Days of Adventure

Suddenly a sense of longing resonated in the heart of the dashing young man. Mandaga sighed deeply, slowly turning around. The young man bottled the ground with the tip of his shoe then bouncy in an instant disappeared.

Towards noon, Mandaga began to step slowly when he saw a gate. A moment later he entered the gate that had no guards.

Mandaga saw people passing by. He was amazed to see so many people somewhere. He who had been very far from the crowd, was very surprised to see so many people. Mandaga also saw many buildings lined up along the road.

When he saw a shop, Mandaga smelled good food. He went to the store and entered it. The daughter of a fairly sweet shop owner welcomed in front of the store door.

"Welcome Young Master, please come in" he said, bowing and smiling. Looking at the handsome young man who was dressed in expensive clothes The girl thought the young man must be a noble. Although the model of his clothes was somewhat different, yet the young man looked handsome and dashing.

The girl immediately escorted Mandaga to an empty table, which was slightly behind.

There is a large window that gives visitors who occupy the table a chance to enjoy the view outside.

"What message does Young Master have?" the girl asked in a soft voice.

"Hmm... what is the famous cuisine in this shop ?" Mandaga asked slowly.

"No green lado Young Master" he said.

"Yes.. I ordered three pieces and vegetables do not forget yes..."

"Well, wait a minute Young Master" said the girl. Mandaga nodded and spread his gaze throughout the large tavern room. There are about twelve tables. Almost all the tables are full of visitors. Mandaga then looked out the window. He sees all sorts of things out there. It was so cool to look around the young man did not realize someone had been standing in front of the table he was on.

"I'm sorry, I see this chair is still empty. If there's no one else you're waiting for, may I sit here ?" A girl's voice asked. Mandaga lifted his face. He saw a beautiful, fair-skinned, yellow girl. Dress all red and a kerambit which was made of ivory. The girl wore a wide caping to hide her beautiful face. It is also possible to avoid sunlight.

"Oh. please Miss. I'm just on my own" Mandaga somewhat hurriedly replied and smiled amiably. The girl pulled a little of her tiny red lips. He sat down and placed his sword on the table after nodding.

The shop owner's daughter came to bring Mandaga's order and set it on the table. Three pieces of green lado itiac, a plate of fried baluik masiak balado, anyang bungo kaliki jo pucuak kaliki. The girl also put a pottery jug and bamboo glass.

Then the girl looked at the red-clothed lady and asked.

"Does it have a message ?"

The beautiful girl dressed in red shook her head and said.

"I ordered the green lado of the thighs and the omelet. Vegetable anyang onion flower." The girl made an order for herself. The shopkeeper's daughter immediately turned around to pick up the order of the red-clothed miss. A moment later he returned with a message from the red-clothed miss. The girl was astonished to see that Mandaga had not touched her food. The shop owner's daughter asked in surprise.

"Sorry, why has your food not been touched by Young Master ?" Mandaga smiled slightly and asked.

"It's okay. Oh yeah, can I ask this koto name ?" The shop owner's daughter looked at Mandaga and smiled.

"This dragon is called Koto Gadang. I'm sorry I see Young Master isn't here huh ?"

"Thank you" Mandaga replied, shaking her head.

"Let's eat Miss.." Mandaga told the girl in front of him, after the tavern owner's daughter left them. Mandaga started to bribe his food. Mandaga's eyes rounded and closed. The delicious taste of savory and delicious green lado itiac cuisine filled his mouth cavity. He bit again the green lado itiac. When chewing the saluik masiak fry, Mandaga again surprised by the surprising taste. Unknowingly the food that has been ordered ludes, the toilet quickly.

Secretly the red-clothed girl in front of him peeked at the way Mandaga ate that looked very excited. She smiled as she enjoyed her food.

In a special silat college in Kumango nagari diluhak nan tuo, Luhak Tanah Datar. Datuak Kumango Nan Sati, professor of silat nagari Kumango, stared deeply at his students. They gathered about a letter from Maharaja Mauli Warmadewa received by Datuak Kumango Nan Sati two days ago.

The contents of the letter asked the Kumango Dinagari great silat college to send about one hundred to three hundred disciples to become royal soldiers. The request related to the plan will come from the envoy of Prabu Hanacaraka the ruler of Singosari kingdom.

This problem is quite complicated. Datuak Kumango Nan Sati does not want to actually get involved in the affairs of the kingdom that is too much intrigue. The great teacher of Kumango nagari silat college suddenly remembered his daughter Andam Dewi who was on a college mission. If there is a daughter it is not too difficult for Datuak Kumango Nan Sati to take a policy. His daughter Andam Dewi was a very intelligent female swordsman.

The girl dressed in red had already finished her last bribe. Slowly the girl sipped her drink. Then he looked at Mandaga full of probes.

"Sorry, are you a newcomer ?" the girl asked Mandaga. The handsome young man immediately stood cupping his hands in his chest paying his respects.

"Miss, I'm Mandaga. It's the first day I leave my Angguik." Mandaga answered the question of the beautiful girl in front of him. The girl smiled a little.

"Oh yes, I am Andam Dewi from a silat college in Nagari Kumango. Nagari Kumango belongs to the Luhak area of Tanah Datar." The beautiful girl dressed in all red mentioned her name and origin to Mandaga. The beautiful girl dressed in red turned out to be Andam Dewi, the only daughter of Datuak Kumango Nan Sati. The girl asked Mandaga.

"Who's your Angguik, and what's your next plan ?"

Before Mandaga could answer, the visitors seemed rushed to leave the restaurant.

Mandaga looked towards the entrance of the restaurant. He saw five people dressed in red black with the appearance of a rogue entering the restaurant. By the waist they each tucked a machete. Uniquely the head of their machete handle there is a skull carving.

"Group of demon golok parewa", Andam Dewi sizzled quietly. Mandaga just kept silent not understanding the group. Only his instincts sensed that the five people were not good people.

The visitors who left their table glanced at Mandaga and Andam Dewi. They were astonished to see that the young man did not budge from their table. They felt even more pity, seeing the parewa of the demon machete heading towards the young table.

"Young man, this is the table we always wear when we come. You can go this time, as long as Supiak kamekko stays with us." The big man with the side of his head said to Mandaga. His style is very arrogant and stingy. Mandaga didn't bully the man. He asked Andam Dewi as if no one had said to him.

"Andam... Did you also hear the new joke just now ?" Andam Dewi covered his mouth, holding back the giggles of hearing Mandaga's question.

"Hi tumbuang baruak !! you know who's talking to you ??! I am the guriang Parewa of a third level leader of the Demon Gorge Parewa Horde, he said with a proud tone.

Parewa Golok Satan Satan is a group of great criminals who are very famous in Luhak Agam. Koto Gadang is a nagari belonging to the Luhak Agam region. This group is very much feared.

"L a l u....??" Mandaga asked with a swinging tone of voice.

Parewa Demon Guriang was astonished, then the big man laughed out loud. He shouted loudly and swung his big machete at Mandaga.

"Dead...!!"
