Rama and the Lost Art of Martialism
The Mission of Finding Herbs in the Red Forest

First person point of view, Rama.

The sounds of the birds chirping merrily under the morning sky were still wrapped in dew. The cool breeze crept slowly, making the leaves of the trees sway in a dance that seemed to welcome the newly rising sun.

I then looked around, realizing that Anna and Isabella were not here. Besides, at first glance I saw a mound of earth beside Anna's bed earlier.

"Where are the two of them?"

Mumbles.

Not long after, there was a distinctive fragrant aroma. Which makes my nose and tongue dance because of it.

"What is this?"

Continue my words with curiosity.

Suddenly, Anna shouted telling us all to get up immediately.

"All of you, let's get up!"

"Anna made breakfast for all of us!"

Speak with enthusiasm.

I then got up first, and saw the two of them seem so well-matched. Regardless of boundaries such as race or social status, they could work together and make dishes that looked so delicious.

"Oh yes Anna."

"You can cook it."

I said while stroking his head.

"Anna learned from Mama!"

"Mama is the greatest chef!"

He answered while smiling at me.

"But, Isabella's sister also helped me in cooking, Anna was very grateful to her."

Anna continued while looking at Isabella.

Visibly, Isabella could only blush in embarrassment and react by hugging Anna.

"Why are you so cute, Anna!"

Said Isabella in an anxious tone while hugging Anna.

Long story short, we were all preparing to eat food made by Anna and Isabella. Of course, I was the most excited and asked for help to overstay his rations.

"Good meal!"

Say to all of us at the same time.

"Don't kid!"

"What soup is this?! it's delicious!"

"I want to add more!"

I said, Nyx and Renia.

While eating, we discussed how to find plants that will later be processed into various herbal medicines. Anna explained that the plant was in the interior of a red forest and was quite difficult to find. What's more, people are often mistaken in distinguishing herbs from other vines, because the shape is almost the same.

"Then, how do we recognize that plant Anna?"

Ask her.

"Onii-chan need not worry, Anna is here!"

Answer with enthusiasm.

Suddenly, Anna choked because she did not want to stay still while eating.

"Thu ..uhu ..uhu ... "

Anna coughing.

"If you eat, it is better not to talk ... "

"Or at least swallow first ... "

Renia.

"Drink this water, Anna!"

Said Isabella while giving her a drink.

"Anna is used to distinguishing herbs from ordinary plants!"

Said Anna immediately after drinking.

"More .. We have a cat here ... "

Continue saying.

"Huh? a cat?"

"What do you mean, Anna?"

I was amazed and asked Renia.

The two of us then glanced towards Nyx who was eating so voraciously.

"What?"

"Why are you all my millerics with such a strange look?"

Nyx said with food still not swallowed by her.

"He's like a guy who hasn't eaten from grade 3 Elementary alone ... "

"No, rather He was like a child!"

My words and Renia said.

We then went to the red forest to look for the herbal remedy.

"Yes! C'mon all! We're looking for a lot!"

I said with a tone of spirit.

"Yes!"

Reply to others excitedly as well.

......................

In entering the forest, we all took positions. Renia and I were at the front, as we were both the strongest among all our party members. While Anna was behind Us to guide the way, Nyx was not far from Anna. His job is to be a smelly sniffer, whenever an enemy or a wild animal is about to attack, Nyx can tell us all immediately, and after that we can immediately protect Anna from danger. Last is Isabella, who is right in the back position, given her healing ability is quite great, She has the task of being a support.

"The forest is so thick!"

"You're right, Rama."

Renia's reply confirmed my words.

"It's no wonder this forest is called a red forest."

"In addition to its territorial zone which is quite dangerous, the state of this forest is different from other forests."

Said Anna.

"What distinguishes this forest from other forests, Anna?"

I asked him.

"The tree is famous for growing so fast."

"Either because of natural or magical conditions, but it's one of the differentiators of this forest from others."

Reply Anna.

"It feels like even natural conditions in such a way can't make that weirdness happen!"

I said in my heart with certainty.

"That's it!"

Shouted Anna while pointing at something.

He then ran and messed with our position.

"Anna, wait!"

I screamed trying to stop him.

"Animal plant!"

Continue shouting Anna.

Suddenly, Anna stopped running. He seemed to be fixed in silence looking right at the direction he pointed at earlier.

"What's up, Anna?"

I asked to wonder about him.

Looking the same to where Anna was looking, there was a human skull. The body had already turned into a bone skeleton, but it was still wearing clothes that were most likely the clothes he had worn last time.

Looking at Anna, she was still stunned. Suddenly, he dropped himself and afterwards shed tears.

Well, of course I'm worried about Anna's situation. Immediately, I ran and hugged her tightly.

"What's up, Anna?"

I said while hugging him.

"Perhaps, this is the first time He's seen it that way."

Renia.

"Indeed, a scene like this was too cruel for a little girl."

Isabella added.

"Mrs ... "

Anna said in tears.

"Mama?"

"Who?"

Renia was amazed by what Anna said.

I then realized, that what he called Mama was none other than a body that has now been turned into bones.

"elena ... "

I said while looking at the expression on Anna's face that was so sad.

He then tried to escape from my embrace.

"Let go Anna!"

"Anna wants to see Mama!"

Anna said.

"Anna, wait!"

"Don't go there!"

Reply while holding him back.

Of course, Anna was getting rebellious so that she could immediately escape from my embrace. Suddenly, he bit my right hand and immediately ran towards the body.

"Let's!"

I said in pain from being bitten by Anna.

Apparently, Anna hugged the body of her mother who has now become a bone. His eyes that had been emitting the light of happiness, were now dimmed by the endless puddles of tears falling down.

"Mrs ... Mama ... "

Anna wished her mother could come back to life.

I, Renia, Nyx and Isabella could only stand to see the sight. In my mind, I felt a strong emotional turmoil.

The four of us are speechless as to what is happening right now.

However, Suddenly Nyx shouted and warned us to be careful.

"Friends! someone's coming!"

Nyx Shouts.

A large wolf then appeared and tried to pounce on Anna. Quickly, I punched him using my fire punch.

Thinking that everything was over, Nyx reminded us again.

"No, not yet!"

He said with a worried tone.

3 Other big wolves surrounded us.

"Great, what am I supposed to do?!"

I said in my heart in panic.

_Connected.
