Rama and the Lost Art of Martialism
Is This Really A Coincidence?

First person point of view, Isabella.

"So that's the story, yeah." Lisa understood my words.

"True, until now Rama still looks sad because he lost Anna." Added.

For a moment the two of us were then both silent for a while thinking about Rama's feelings. However, Lisa spoke at once about Anna's case, which of course broke the silence between us.

"I didn't know that Anna was a spirit still bound to this world."

"The energy of life that it has is exactly the same as humans in general."

"What's he, revived, huh?" Lisa thought of her own words.

Then, I refuted Lisa's saying that there is a power to bring to life the dead.

"There's no such power, in my opinion." I said.

"Yes you're right." Reply Lisa.

"The power to bring to life the dead cannot be explained with common sense."

"Even if that power existed, it would certainly be very troublesome as it dealt with fate." Continue his words while drinking beer.

"Want to?" Lisa offered me a drink.

"No . no. I'm still underage." Reply refused.

"Back to Rama. Is he going to be okay with my condition?" Ask Lisa again.

"I don't know." I answered with a gloomy face worrying about her.

"People as strong as Him can even sense the meaning of loss ... "

"No, even Ryugawa, who is a hero, must have felt that feeling ... " Said Lisa while looking at the ceiling of the guild home as if remembering something.

Suddenly, Lisa immediately gulped down all her drinks. I saw him, I was worried about him.

"Lisa ... " My words were alarmed because Lisa gulped down all her drinks in one gulp.

"Bhhh ... Once you're grown up you'll understand, Bella." The reply.

"Okay, now go to Rama's place. Entertain Him!" Continue his words while standing up from the chair and shouting.

"Tu-wait ... That's what I want to do, but I don't know how to comfort her ... " I said shyly.

Lisa then sat back down, holding both my shoulders she said.

"So your arrival here was to ask for advice?"

"Haha ... You came to the right person!" Her speech.

Then, I looked at Lisa like a drunk person. I'm afraid he'll give me some weird advice.

"Great, Lisa seems to be drunk ... "

"What am I supposed to do?" I said in my heart.

"What about the night plan." He gave advice.

So, I was curious about the advice he gave.

"What's? 'Evening plans'?" I asked him back.

"Yes, what if tonight you go sneak into Rama's room."

"Then, comfort Him ... " Said Lisa makes it clear what a 'night plan' is'

Suddenly, I then felt a great shame if I had to enter and sneak secretly into Rama's room. Not only that, on the other hand I feel that this plan is not bad considering I want to be more "close" again with Rama.

"What about my plan, great right? Ahahahaha!" Continue Lisa's words while laughing out loud.

Suddenly, Lisa's co-worker Nia interrupts our conversation.

"I think that way is too frontal and not good." His words interrupted our conversation which he then followed by drinking a cup of tea.

"What do you mean, Nia?"

"No no! You were eavesdropping on our conversation, huh?!" Asked Lisa in a annoyed tone.

"I'm sorry I was so presumptuous to eavesdrop on your conversation, Princess Isabella."

"I'm just worried about you, afraid Lisa's giving you weird advice." He said politely to me while bowing his head.

"No-no .. It's okay!" I said, asking him to raise his head.

"Mr Princess could comfort him in another way." Her speech.

"What kind of advice is that?" My toot.

"What if the Princess gives something that makes Lord Rama cheerful again."

"We say that Lord Rama liked the sword, and Princess Isabella could give it as a gift." The answer.

"Your advice is good too, Nia."

"But I don't know for sure what his favorite is." My speech.

"Wait .. isn't that bad because I, as his party-mate, don't know anything about him!" Continue my words in a panic.

"No need to panic, Princess Isabella."

"You can find out from now on."

"You can pay attention to behavior, nature, ask parents or ask people he knows." Nia said while counting those four things.

"One more time, don't ever ask Lisa for advice."

"She always gives some pretty bad advice especially when she's drunk." Continue saying.

"Hey, what do you mean?!" Lisa asked annoyedly for a moment after hearing Nia's words earlier.

"Have you lost your mind by giving such advice to a 12-year-old girl?" Lisa replied calmly while returning to drink her tea.

Lisa was so drunk. He seemed to be drinking too much, and so he ended up unconscious. Nia then took Lisa to another place to awaken her immediately, but before that she asked me to immediately make Rama's heart cheerful again.

"I'm sorry it's been a hassle."

"I'll take him away and make him come back to his senses." Nia said while carrying Lisa's body.

"Oh yes Princess Isabella."

"I suggest that you immediately rush to comfort him, otherwise Rama's condition will be further down if it continues to be left sad like that."

"Then I say goodbye." Continue the words that then leave.

...----------------...

Long story short, I am now on my way back to the inn. Along the way, I thought of both of Lisa's and Nia's suggestions.

"The advice from Lisa is too frontal!" My yelling.

"Or better if I follow Nia's advice, huh?" Thought about.

On the way back to the inn, I passed through the night market. Seen, the atmosphere here is so crowded and also noisy because people are doing buying and selling transactions.

"It's so crowded ... " Saying.

Instantly, I remembered Nia's words back.

"What if the Princess gives something that makes Lord Rama cheerful again."

"Do I have to buy something, I'll give it to Rama, okay?" Gunamku while looking at the condition of the night market.

"But, I don't know what he likes." Gumamku.

"No ... What if Rama I just invite you to the night market!" I said with a confident tone.

"Wait, won't that be a date between us?"

"Yeah!!!" I screamed at imagining it.

"But ... What if he refuses, huh?" Continue saying.

"Ishabella! Isabella!"

Amidst the confusion I felt, suddenly there was the sound of someone calling my name from a distance. When I looked around I could not find the source of the voice of the person calling my name.

"Maybe my feelings." Mumbles.

As I was about to leave this place, suddenly my hand was held by someone. When he turned around, it turned out that the person who had been shouting called my name was Rama.

"I called you, you know." He said with a smile and held my hand.

"Rama-rama? How are you here?!" I said in my heart not believing in the coincidence that is happening right now.
