Pangawasa Warishing (Giant Tree Ruler)
Chapter 8 - Smile

In a dimly lit cave, from the direction of the entrance made of tree roots without doors. Some people entered the cave with bowed paths.

“I can't believe we're back here.” Rani who entered the first, while bowing her body.

“Well, well, I guarantee this is the best place to hide and rest, I guarantee.” Wirayuda responds to Rani's complaint, who is still waiting for Dyah to enter.

While Dyah who bowed after Prabu still showed his sorrowful face.

After they all entered the cave Rakyan put the body of the ice-covered Coral in the corner of the cave, and said. “I'll be on guard outside.” Without looking at his other friends.

“Well, well, it's not necessary. This place is very safe, I assure you. I've been hiding here for a very long time, and not a monster has come in here, hmm, I don't seem to feel any insects here either.” Wirayuda looked at Rakryan while holding the end of the handle of his sword with his left hand.

“Oh.” Rakryan was silent for a few seconds. ” Then I will train outside.” Then he walked out of the cave without even looking at his friends.

“Hahh, Well, well, it's up to you.” Wirayuda sighed at Rakryan's behavior.

Although not showing a sad expression, it seems Rakryan was very hit with the death of Coral. He felt that his current self was still very weak, even though he was actually a Wiryawan level knight, the top three level of the seven tiers of knights.

The atmosphere of haru was still very much felt in the group, after arriving in the cave, no one spoke except for the conversation of Rakryan and Wirayuda, it was only talk because Rakryan wanted to be alone outside.

Wirayuda looked at each member of the group as his left hand was still above the tip of the handle of his sword. He saw Rani and Prabu sitting next to each other, Dyah to the left of Rani by hugging her legs but the distance between them sat quite far. While Penta sat in the right corner of the cave with eyes without any signs of life.

Ahh this is bad. Wirayuda murmured in his heart.

Wirayuda looked at Rani with slightly narrowed eyes, gesturing.

Rani who noticed Wirayuda's gaze only glanced at him a little then ignored him again.

I can't, what should I do in such a situation. Rani in her heart.

“Ahh, Prabu.” Rani calls Prabu who looks dreamy beside her and hopes Prabu can do something.

Prabu was surprised by the call. “He, yes, why?” Looking towards Rani.

“Do something.” Rani whispered while gesturing with her eyes towards Wirayuda a few times.

Prabu, who was aware of the gesture, turned towards Wirayuda. Then point to himself with his index finger. “I?” asked in a soft voice and a doubtful face.

Wirayuda nodded three times quickly.

Prabu looked pale, with the task given to him. But he kept trying to do his best.

“That, friends, anu, how about we eat first.” Prabu finally spoke with his legs crossed and his eyes glanced at everyone who was inside the cave.

Rani patted her head looking disappointed by the words Prabu said at a time like this. While Wirayuda bowed his head quickly, full of regret.

Grrrr!. The rumbling sounds of stomachs echoed within the cave.

Simultaneously Rani and Wirayuda stared at the direction the voice was coming from. The two people could only be speechless and stunned because the voice was so loose without any burden in these difficult conditions to overcome.

“Ma-sorry, it looks like I'm really hungry.” While bowing Prabu's head spoke with a very red face.

“Ckckc.” A small laugh suddenly sounded, coming from the woman who was hugging both of her legs. “Sorry, sorry, I really can't bear to see Prabu's behavior.” Smiling softly yet still looking sad on her face, the woman continued her words. “Thank you, friends, as chairman I am completely useless at a time like this, thank you for always supporting me.” Dyah smiled freely even though the edges of her eyes looked a bit swollen.

Seeing Dyah who was already smiling back Rani quickly got up and jumped towards Dyah to hug her. “Dyahhhhh, Hiks, Hiks, Dyahhh, thank goodness.”

“Aduh, duh, don't jump like that Rani, I'm surprised tau.” Dyah was a little surprised by Rani's action but still welcomed Rani's embrace. “Thank you Rani, good thing there is you in our party.” Dyah returned to shed tears as they hugged.

“Hiks, Hiks, Hiks, you make me worry know, Hiks, Hiks.” Rani cries in the arms of Dyah.

Wirayuda who was still standing, looking at Dyah who had returned from his sadness, smiled with relief.

“Anu, but what will we eat now?.” Ask Prabu who is more concerned with his stomach than the atmosphere that is turning into this positive.

“Hiks, Hiks, Hiks, Prabu stupid, you don't see what, but the atmosphere is good again gini, you even have food.” Rani is still crying in Dyah's arms.

“Hahaha, it's okay, right said Prabu, what can we eat now?” Dyah who had stopped shedding tears turned her head towards Wirayuda.

“Well, yeah, just calm down about it. I have plenty of food supplies, I guarantee.” Wirayuda answered by placing both hands on his waist. “But before that!” Wirayuda walked up to the two women who were still hugging him, and took the Spear he had hung from his back. “Well, well, this is yours not.” Pointing the Ocean Spear to Dyah.

Rani who noticed the Hero behind her took off her arms from Dayh and wiped her tears.

Dyah, who had escaped from Rani's shackles, took the Spear. “Thank you sister Wira!” while smiling very loosely.

“Yeah, well, I miss that smile so much.” Wirayuda walked to the corner of the cave after giving Dyah's Spear.

As Wirayuda went away, Dyah cast a spell, and the spear he was holding disappeared like dust and glowed. “I'm so grateful that Wira is here. If not. Maybe I've been.”

Dyah's voice shrank at the end of his speech, but Wirayuda could still hear it. He knew what Dyah was about to say, but ignored it, then opened the cave wall made from the tree root with magic.

The wall that had not been seen there was a blemish, suddenly split vertically and shifted to the side like an automatic door, a very cold air came out from inside the open cave wall.

“Refrigerator.” Said Prabu who noticed what Wirayuda was doing. “But it, BIRD HEAD?” A surprised loud voice echoed within the cave.

Dyah and Rani who were entertaining each other were surprised by Prabu's words.

“Ehh, don't-don't, it?” Rani who also looks into the refrigerator made of cave walls containing pieces of meat, and also the head of a bird that is quite large.

“Yeah, well, you're right, this is to Garuda, and this is their meat.” proudly shows the piece of meat in the refrigerator.

“Yeah, well, take it easy I guarantee it tastes good, I eat this every day, hahaha.” Wirayuda tried to convince the others with his loud laughter.

Hearing that Prabu gulped his saliva firmly and his mouth opened several times, like wanting to try the meat.

Dyah and Rani who heard the gulp turned towards Prabu. “Ehhh.” and looked at him with disdain.

While Prabu who was very focused on the meat in the refrigerator did not realize it and continued to move his mouth like a person who was chewing.

As Rani cooked the meat, everyone in the cave except Penta sat around the fire made from the Dyah's wand.

Dyah asked why the Hero was in a place like this, but before Wirayuda could answer, Rani had already told him the depraved purpose of the Hero.

“Hahaha, Brother Wira has not changed at all. Emang kak Wira is not afraid of Arum?” Dyah laughed at Rani's story while asking Wirayuda.

“Yah, well, of course scared.” The hero said proudly. “Eh. No, that, not that, my purpose here. Getting that sap is just a bonus, right, just a bonus.”

“Then it's okay to tell my brother Arum.” Say it with a smile.

“Well, well, ehhhhh, no, please don't, later I can die.” Wirayuda pleaded with Dyah in prostration.

“Emang who is Arum's brother?” Rani asks Dyah because she is confused by Wirayuda's fear.

“Ahh, yes, I have not told you, so this Lady Sister, the Hero who defeated the demon king in this continent is married to Kak Arum, healer and leader of the hero Party.” Dyah explained.

“Ohhh, it turns out like that.” Rani who was focusing on preparing food now looked at Wirayuda with great disgust who was still prostrating towards Dyah.

While Prabu focused on staring at the food Rani prepared and ignored the conversation.

“Good, well, I'm kidding. But actually why is sister here?” Tanya Dyah was curious.

Wirayuda, who was feeling pompous, raised his head, wiped the sweat on his eel, then sat quietly. “The story is quite long!.”

Rani finished cooking and served Garuda meat soup to all the members of the group, including Penta who was still sitting in the corner and Rakryan who was training outside with a bowl made of wood.

Wirayuda who was eating, looked seriously at the bowl he was holding, continuing his story. “Yeah, well, so after parting with my party earlier, I heard a prophecy, it might be more suitable if I said I got a prophecy from a fortune teller of my acquaintance.” Bribed a spoon of meat into his mouth and chewed it.

After swallowing his food, Wirayuda continued his story.

“Now will there be a worldwide disaster, a king of the world will rise from eternal prison, untouched forest is the cause.” A man in a suit spoke to the man sitting in front of him in casual clothes.

“What do you mean? Who is the King? How strong is he?” Ask the guy in casual clothes.

“Ahh, the question lo too much Wir, if I know also I will not use the language of the god it.” The man in the suit answered the Hero named Wirayuda.

“But this is weird, I think I know where the untouched forest is.” Wirayuda stroked his chin.

The man in the suit put both elbows of his hands to his knees and advanced his upper body forward, staring seriously. “Gue sure it is Alas Warihing.”

“Ahh yes, unspoiled word similar to that forest.” Wirayuda leaned his body against the sofa. “So how to deal with the King?”

“In my prophecy, the King cannot be defeated.” Answer the guy in the suit.

“So, should be prevented?” Ask Wirayuda again,

“Well I guess that's the only way now.” The man in the suit, returned his sitting position to upright.

“But you know that the forest is as dangerous as it is, how to prevent any king from rising.” Wirayuda said a little annoyed.

“Kings of the world.” The guy in the suit is trying to fix Wirayuda said. “According to the prophecy I had, in the forest there was a tree, and by sticking the tree with the holy sword that absorbed the energy from the dragon uncontrollably, the tree would wither for a while, and, and it took millions of years for the tree to grow again.” Clearly the man in the suit was staring at the sword Hero who was on the edge of the sofa.

“Hah, so it does have to go into that forest?” Wirayuda looked worried.

“If you are afraid to go there yourself, I will ask the Guild leader to prepare an adventurer squad to nemenin lo there.” Said the man in the suit with his cynical smile to the hero.

Wirayuda clicked his tongue. “Lo thought I was that weak, anyways would be bothered if going with a lot of people there, if myself I would be more free.”

“Oh, good, it's just a hero, oh yeah besides, he said in the forest there is sap that can love eternity, you are not interested?” Said the man in the suit ending the question.

Wirayuda grinning. “That's exactly what I incer, wkwkwkwkwkwkwk.” The Hero laughed loudly in the room.

The man in the suit could only shake his head because of the disgusting attitude of this Hero who respected so many people, he then sipped his coffee from earlier on on the table.

——

After hearing the story, Dyah could only give Wirayuda a look of disdain.

Ehh, napa I told you that part too, shit. Wirayuda, who had only regained consciousness after seeing the horrible gaze of Dyah, prostrated himself before his former beloved disciple. “Please forgive me, you know my true purpose is very noble, please.”

“Well, well, very noble, I think it would be good if I told brother Arum, he must be moved.” With a cynical smile to the prostrating hero Dyah responds to Wirayuda's speech while imitating the prefix commonly used by the Hero.

“Boro, boro, moved, there I can die, please.” It seems the Hero was very frightened by his wife. Are most men strong like that huh?
