Pangawasa Warishing (Giant Tree Ruler)
Chapter 5 - The One Who is Called a Hero

“Aaaahh, pain, aww my back.” A woman whimpering in pain.

“AWWWW, sick, sick, Rani, can you get off my body, AWWWW.” Prabu screamed in pain.

“Wohh Prabu sorry.” Rani who had fallen right above Prabu's body immediately came down.

“AWWWW, heart, heart, AWWW Rani heart, heart, Feet, feet, Aw, aw, aw, aw, foot pain once.” Prabu whimpers in great pain when Rani accidentally steps on Prabu's right foot.

Rani who has dropped from Prabu's body but still a little pain. “M,Sorry Prabu, are you okay?”

“Thisiii, pain. Sekaaaali, my leg, my right leg, it looks like. broken.” Prabu replied with a groan that was very painful to look at.

The atmosphere of the place was quite dark. But from the outskirts of the place there is a kind of light that is enough to illuminate the place even though it is dimly lit. If you look carefully the light is like coming from a flower that grows on the edge of the place.

The flowers are like lilies, although the flower blooms but the crown ducks like a ripe rice, plus the stamens of the flower is long enough to stick out like hanging the head of the sari. The strangest of the flowers whose petals were transparent was the radiant head of the sari, like a glowing crystal.

Because of the large number of flowers that make the place so not so dark even though there is no light from the outside.

Rani, who is not in pain, wakes up and begins to check Prabu's legs. “Sorry, Prabu let me see your feet.” Rani ignores where she is and focuses on Prabu's wounds which make the iron-clad man in great pain.

“AWWWWWW.” Shouted Prabu's moans as Rani opened the shoes made of leather for the lower ankle, while the part that straddled her calves was made of iron that was quite light.

The shoe covered the knee until the tip of Prabu's foot, released slowly by Rani, but still made Prabu scream in pain.

“It's bad, it looks like your ankle shifted quite badly, Prabu.” Rani tells Prabu the unpleasant news.

“Is that?” Prabu asked while enduring the pain that made her shed tears. “Can you cure it?”.

“Can, but I have to return your legs to the original position first.” Rani replied while looking at Prabu seriously.

“Hehe, have you mastered pain-relieving magic?” Before Rani performs a terrible act Prabu wants to make sure whether she will feel tremendous pain or not in the process of recovering her legs.

Rani smiled uncertainly. “Hehe, Not yet.” Answer's short.

Hearing that Prabu gulped the saliva that made Rani smile again, again and again. Maybe Rani wants to cheer Prabu up but it doesn't seem to work out at all.

“Alright, can you please give me a cloth or something.” A time like this Prabu asks for something he really needs, which is a soft cloth or something to hold his teeth when Rani does a painful healing process.

“Sebentar.” Rani answered quickly.

Soon Rani searches for something in the bag she brought to be bitten by Prabu. Rani's hand stopped talking about her bag. It seems Rani is thinking what she can give to Prabu.

“Prabu.” Rani called the name with a condition of still thinking.

“Yeah.” Prabu replied instantly, with a voice like enduring pain.

Rani quickly released her gaze from inside the bag onto Prabu's face. “My stuff seems to fall as we fall in here.”

“Hee, so?” Prabu only responds briefly because it still endures very severe pain.

“You can use this bag if you want.” Rani replied while pointing her bag at Prabu's face.

Prabu's face grew pale, but he still gave a smile even though it was a smile of pain. “What is clean?” Ask Prabu hesitantly.

“Of course.” Rani replied with a very loose smile.

The bag that Rani carries is a handbag that is usually carried by women for dating or just a walk in the royal city. The bag has a dimension of 30cm x 30cm if measured together with the handle. The bag is red and made of leather, if you notice it looks like an expensive bag.

No one knows why Rani carries such a flashy bag on an adventure, but it seems like it has become her habit.

Rani gives her bag to Prabu and helps Prabu to bite the bag. Looking at the bag it felt like it was hard enough, but after Prabu bit him he realized the bag was soft enough to bite, it was like biting rubber. Thought Prabu.

“Alright, I started ya.” Rani asks Prabu for permission.

Prabu nodded slowly.

Both of Rani's hands held Prabu's back and soles. A moment later Rani turned Prabu's leg which shifted to its original position, sounding like the sound of bones shifting quite hard. At the same time a man screamed very loudly, but because his mouth bit a bag, the sound of his cry was only heard ******, just like people giving birth.

Afterwards, Rani quickly recites the healing magic spell and the healing light immediately envelops Prabu's legs which Rani has just repaired.

The atmosphere became calmer, Prabu looked no longer in pain.

As Rani was busy giving Prabu healing magic, suddenly there was someone from behind her talking.

“Halo. Are you guys okay?” A man's voice came from behind.

Sontak Rani was surprised and immediately turned over the body which then sat down, making her butt slammed into the ground.

Although the condition there is not so bright, but the face of the person is quite visible. He wore torn jeans in some parts, especially the right knee of the largest tear, if viewed more carefully it was not torn because the model, but like falling out somehow a few times. His dark-colored clothes also looked worn. On his chest was a body armor made of leather that was commonly worn by student-class adventurers.

“Si-si-who, you?” Rani asked in a frightened sitting position.

The man full of beards and whiskers with his hair ruffled along his shoulder replied in a soft voice. “Well, well, you guys have nothing to fear, I'm not the enemy anyway. Calm, quiet.”

Rani was only silent because she was astonished and stared at Prabu who was still sitting and leaning down weakly. Prabu only gave him a weak smile, which signaled he could not fight back at the moment.

Rani looked back at the man, this time looking suspiciously at him and glaring at him.

The man who noticed the suspicious look immediately acted. He raised both his hands up, pointed his palms towards Rani and waved towards the woman who was sitting while making a backrest with both hands. “Well, well, calm down, calm down, I'm really not your enemy.”

Perhaps the intention of the man named Wirayuda praising the two of them is to make the situation calmer, but instead it makes Rani more suspicious and her gaze sharper.

“Hero, are you a hero?” Prabu asked in a weak voice. It seemed that he realized that after hearing the name of the man.

Rani was surprised by the question, immediately turning her eyes towards Prabu. Prabu only replied with a weak smile.

“Yeah, well, usually people call me that, but I actually prefer to be called name only.” the hell Hero smiles again doubtfully.

Rani, who was shocked again, turned her gaze towards the Hero but this time with her eyes wide open. Rani was really surprised she was able to meet a hero here and in this kind of condition. Rani seemed confused whether she should apologize or not for being disrespectful to the Hero who had defeated the Demon King in the Nuswantara region.

Suddenly Rani covered her nose with her hands.

The hero was surprised, and remembered that he had not bathed for weeks. “Yeah, well, it looks like it came from me, I completely forgot, haha, haha.” still with a smile full of his doubts.

Rani just kept quiet and kept her nose closed, while Prabu wanted to also close his nose but because he still felt weak he was forced to let the scent of a creature that lives in the wild without bathing it seep into his lungs, wanting to vomit but not having the strength to do so, that was how he felt right now.

“Yeah, well, I'll take a shower first, so please just continue the date, sorry to interrupt.” stick with his doubtful smile.

“We are not dating.” Rani and Prabu answered quickly, but Prabu's voice was slower, so all that was heard was Rani's louder voice.

The Hero leaves them both, just before he disappears the Hero says something. “Yeah, well, you guys wait there yeah, I'll be back later, I want to ask you guys something. I go first.”

Rani and Prabu just sat in silence.

“Is he really a Hero?” Tanya Rani hesitated.

Prabu just smiled weakly.

Rani resumed healing Prabu who was still a little pain but not as sick at the beginning.

“What will we do now?” Coral asked Dyah who was still sitting cross-legged.

“We rest here, while waiting for Rakryan to wake up, and let me think about the next step.” Answer Dyah.

The four of them were currently in a forest filled with enormous trees. This forest called Alas Warihing feels quite haunted. Although there was no fog like when chased by Wolves, visibility remained limited because the trees covered the surrounding area. The trees grew irregularly and had the exact same shape, the exact same height, the exact same width. Anyone who enters this forest is naturally lost if they do not make a sign for the road they have traveled.

“Sunday once, I did not hear any sound, bird, wind, or other. This is what worries me.” Coral Mummings.

“What's okay we don't look for them?” Ask Penta.

“At a time like this. The best thing is to think. Although go looking for them, we also do not know where to look.” Answer Corals.

“You guys should also rest now. This may be the only chance we can break.” Dyah said while closing her eyes.

“I will stay awake. Penta you rest lah.” Reply Coral firmly.

Penta nodded, while Dyah seemed to be focusing in a cross-legged position like she was meditating.

When Penta wanted to sit down she realized Rakryan was going to be stupefied, she came to Rakryan. “Rakryan, are you awake?”

Coral glanced at Rakryan in the bed, while Dyah still seemed to be meditating.

“Adu-duh-duh-s. My head is a little dizzy.” Said Rakryan who turned into a sitting position by holding his head with his right hand.

“Do you want to drink?” Penta offers Rakryan a drink.

“Iya, thank you.” Rakryan took the drink from Penta's hand, and gulped it down several times. “Can explain the situation.” Pinta Rakryan is still not very conscious.

“A-anu, it looks like we have arrived at Alas Warihing. But Rani and Prabu disappeared.” Replied Penta in a weak voice.

“This is so troublesome.” Reply Rakryan while giving the bottle back to Penta and he stood up.

Rakryan looked around to understand the situation. Then he looked at Dyah who was meditating. Then turn his gaze towards the Coral.

“Now you can rest, let me take care.” Said Rakryan behind the Coral.

“Not that you just woke up, just rest first.” Reply Coral, without looking at Rakryan.

“Hahh, I'm ashamed to admit it, but I just fell asleep. And it was the quietest sleep I had ever experienced since becoming an adventurer. So I've collected enough energy.” Rakryan turned the body, walking in the opposite direction from the direction the Coral was watching.

“Oh, so, alright. I'll rest for a while.” Reply Coral which then walked towards a tree and leaned his body there.

Penta walked towards the Coral to ask something. “What does it usually do, Dyah, think by meditating?”

“Not really, he usually sleeps if he says he wants to think.” Answer the relaxed reef.

“Ehh.” Penta was a little surprised by Dyah's habit.

“Currently he may be gathering his mana back. That's what witches usually do when they run out of mana.” Terang Karang continued his explanation.

“Ohh, must be troublesome too yes, must fill mana like that. Is there no potion that can be used to recover mana?” Ask Penta again.

“Unfortunately, nothing. If it does exist, surely witches are the strongest creatures in this world.” Reply to the Coral which began to close its eyes.

The centa that was leaning on the same tree as the Coral, also closed its eyes to rest. “Iya, yes.” the response while closing the eyes.
