"There's finally a clue!" exclaiming Michael.
"It turns out it's in another city. Until we hunch over here also will not find the correct space dimensional gap," said Alan.
"But it has to be confirmed first. If it turns out that it is similar to the small worlds that are here, yes free too," said Niken pessimistic.
"What's wrong with the little world here?" ask Nastiti.
"The small world here is like an intermediary world to reach the forbidden forest in the port city" Niken replied.
"I think you're right. Kang and Yabie's little world only accepts immigrants from other worlds, but there's no way out, except to the forbidden forest." Sunil supported Niken's opinion.
"So, the small worlds that Yabie said were the escape places of all the forest animals, can only go in and out of the forbidden forest?" tanya Widuri made sure.
"I think so too" replied Sunil.
"But, it still has to be ensured first" said Indra.
"Which one is to be sure?" niken was confused.
"Yes everything. The story about the wall of light in the swamp town, is it the same as we think?" answer Indra.
"Also about the small world here that has not been examined entirely. Is it true that only going to be stuck in the forbidden forest?" add Indra again.
"Indra's right. Before we check it out, how are we gonna know the truth?" said Dr. Chandra.
"But it's a week! The ship leaves in a week!" alan said.
"I've asked the City Chief to confirm the information. Is the city of the Swamp the city they've been through, or the city they're going to" Dean said.
"meaning?" ask Widuri.
"Perhaps Dean's point is, if the Swamp town is the one they're going to go to, then we're getting ready for just this week and getting on the boat if we want to go.' Marianne explained.
"really. But, if the Swamp town is the one they just passed, then we have 3 months until the ship comes back here again, then it goes to the Swamp town!" Dean explained his thoughts.
"Ahhh, you're right. Because the ship stopped here every 3 months, it means he went back and forth on the same track. He sailed from left to right. Then to return, he will go through the same path from right to left. Just turn around, like the Pelni ship from East Indonesia to the West. From west to east. Not circling around."
Sunil describes the difference of alternating lines on the surface of the table, and rotating lines.
Plakk!
"Oohhh...." Sunil grimacing.
"Hemmm, I understand now." Niken patted Sunil on the back.
"But don't be a nabok. My poor back..," complained Sunil, grimacing.
"You are very serious sihh.." said Niken without guilt.
"But why isn't Indra the one you're tabooing? He's sitting next to you too!" sunil Protest.
"No dong! She is my hubby. And it was overwritten by Indra who pretended to faint to hear it.
Niken and Indra's cute style invites a smile and makes Doctor Chandra chuckle.
"This new bride is really envious" Doctor Chandra said with a smile.
"Yes already. Let's just rest. Tomorrow we wait for the full information from the City Chief."
Dean ended the discussion that night. He got up from his seat and went to his room to rest. Cloudy who started fat, followed behind.
The women clean up the dirty tableware before resting. The complex of the mansion was finally quiet.
Sunil chose to lie on a large wooden board in the courtyard. His mind wandered far away to where he came from. He misses his son and daughter very much. Sunil's vegetables sang the song in his country language. The rhythm sounds sad and sad.

Dean's not going anywhere today. He took care of the garden and helped take care of the garden. Dean was waiting for a message from Yoshi.
Until noon, none of the transmission messages were received. So Dean decided to go to the City Lord's residence.
"Yoshi didn't send a message. I think I'd better get to the city chief's place now," Dean said.
"OK," Sunil nodded.
Dean floated up, then darted away to the outskirts of town. From there he walked into the city.

"Master City Chief is receiving guests, sir. You can wait in the inner courtyard," greeted a housekeeper.
Dean nodded and followed the waiter in. He waited on the terrace overlooking the walnut tree. A cup of warm tea and sweets have been served.
There's no waiter looking for peanuts there. There are no walnuts old enough to be taken.
Dean was so frowned upon because nothing was done. No one accompanied him. So he flew around a walnut tree. Examine the old beans, then pluck them.
'Many customers are also the result' Dean thought.
"Master!" a call from under the tree.
Dean looked down. The waiter was waiting for him under the tree. Dean's down.
Dean nodded. The nuts he had picked were handed over to the waiter.
"That's old. You can work it out," Dean said.
"Yes, sir. Let's...."
The waiter pointed the way to the City Chief's room.
Dean walked into the room, as soon as the door opened. There was still a guest in the room.
"Dean! Come inside. There's good news!" The city chief looks very happy.
"Oh, what's the news?" asked Dean enthusiastically. He sat down without being told.
"Ehemm," the City Chief cleared his throat.
"Include me, this is Uncle Yoshi. My late wife's brother. His name is Dean," the City Chief introduced Dean to his guests officially.
Although astonished, Dean still reached out toward the man. A man who looks mature and has a firm expression. Handsome and attractive.
"Dean."
"Emerson's."
The man welcomed Dean's hand. Smile off. He looks really trying to get a good impression on Dean's eyes. It made Dean wonder and wonder inwardly.
'What is this about?' thought.
And the question in his mind was instantly getting an answer.
"Dean, Emerson wants to propose to Yoshi."
The City Leader smiled widely. He clearly seems very happy.
Dean finally understood why Yoshi had not told him. And why is the man next door so eager to impress her. Dean smiled too. He was looking at Emerson.
It made the man nervous. He was well aware that he was being judged by Dean. But Dean didn't linger bothering the man. He looked at the City Chief.
"I don't need to ask about her origins or her work. You must have known those things." Dean turned to Emerson.
"But what matters to me is Yoshi's acceptance. If he agrees, I'll support him" Dean said firmly.
The City Chief looks back listless. The man beside Dean also lowered his head. Dean raised his eyebrows looking at the reaction of the two. He's very understanding.
"Haha...." Dean finally laughed out loud.
The City Chief and Emerson looked towards him in surprise. What's so funny?
"You asked me to come in and meet him, and then you said about the proposal. You want me to persuade Yoshi?" guess Dean's down.
"Dean, he rejected all proposals. Please persuade him."
The City Chief pleaded desperately. He doesn't know how to talk to his daughter anymore, if it's about marriage. Yoshi refused firmly without even feeling the need to listen to any explanation.
"I can go quietly after Bi, if she is married. If there is someone to take care of him, I just feel light," said the City Chief sadly.
"Isn't there a Jabie who looks after him?" answer Dean origin.
"Dean, Yabie is his brother. I will also find a wife for him soon. What about Yoshi? He'll be alone. And you know the difference between brother and wife love." The City chief said the burden of his thoughts.
"I'm not good at persuading" Dean refused.
"your wife. Have your wife open up Yoshi's vision, will you?" The City Chief is very resourceful.
"I'll talk to Widuri first. Whether he wants to help or not. Anyway, I don't want to mess with Yoshi. He was angry with me yesterday."
"Imagine it. He thought I didn't love him. Do you think as an uncle my heart doesn't hurt?"
"So you don't corner me to the edge of the abyss. If Widuri agrees to talk, let her. If you don't want to, don't force it."
"Just talk, right? Gives enlightenment and insight just now right? Not to persuade Yoshi?!" Dean drew the line clearly.
The City Leader nodded quickly. His eyes gave new hope.
"Yes. Talk to him. Bring wife. Yoshi loves your wife very much. He might have listened more if his aunt had spoken," the City Chief said expectantly.
"All right, I'll tell Widuri. Tomorrow I will bring him here" Dean said with a warm smile.
"What about yesterday's news?" ask Dean. That's the purpose of coming today.
"My guy hasn't come back yet. I'll let you know if he comes" replied the City Chief.
"After that. I'll take care of you."
Dean stood up from his seat. Emerson got up and smiled kindly. Dean nodded. Then pat her shoulder.
"If Yoshi is your soul mate, then you will marry him. Pray from now on. Only God can flip through a human heart" Dean said wisely.
Emerson nodded.
"Thank you, I'll follow your advice" he said sincerely.
Dean smiled and walked out of the room.
