Swordsman Without Friends
Dining and lodging 'Lawang Wangi'.

On the eastern outskirts of the Duchy of Jepara there is a large restaurant that also provides lodging for its visitors, although it is located outside the Jepara region and is rather remote, but strangely the place is always crowded with visitors. reportedly in the restaurant that doubles the place of lodging also provides gambling places and comfort women.

In such circumstances it is appropriate if the place called the 'Lawang Wangi' food stall is always crowded, even until late at night the restaurant seems even more visitors. there is a saying that where there is sugar, there are also swarms of ants clustered. If there is a place that promises pleasure for humans, as long as it can still be reached they must come there.

The restaurant was large, its location was deliberately made somewhat sheltered behind the trees.the width was approximately twelve spears with a length of fifteen spears and consisted of two floors. the building material is made of a combination of stone, red brick and teak wood. There is also woven bamboo slats on some walls and roof coverings.

The visitors of this 'Lawang Wangi' restaurant are not only traders, people from rich families and important figures of the kingdom, but also the travelers of the martial world both from the white and black streams.even from the martial people sometimes more often stop to that place to just rest or meet with fellow warriors.

Although it has been stated that fighters from the white and black always fight, but if they come to this place, any dispute of any magnitude between them seems obliged to be removed first. at least for the next three days, because in accordance with the rules of the restaurant and lodging Lawang Wangi, the visitors can only stay there for a maximum of three days.

Of course, it is not easy for the owner of the restaurant to run such a business if there is nothing reliable.at least he must have a very strong protector. reportedly at the beginning of standing, he said, more than a year ago the restaurant that doubles the inn and entertainment place had several times got a disturbance. let alone the owner is a beautiful widow in her thirties, he said, to make the visitors so eager to harass him, but unexpectedly the woman was apparently not a random person.

With a sword that emitted a yellow light he was able to make some of the vandals topple over in just a few jolts. even at the last event the person who made a mess apparently holds a grudge until nightfall he came with two upper class fighters whose magic is clearly above the woman.

A woman who must be alone in facing three great fighters is of course only outlined to die, nine rows of dense black rays with hot air burst that accompanied the sound of explosions as loud as lightning.The three fighters collapsed with a charred head scorched eyes without having time to know who the killer.

In a semi-conscious state, the beautiful widow who likes to wear a thin, tight yellow robe still had time to see that the one who helped her was a homeless young man who in recent days often hitchhiked to sleep on the terrace the restaurant when it gets dark.

The strange young man dressed in black from a thick cloth in his walking manner was limp and laughable. he really did not expect if the pale young man with an iron rod who always appeared there at the end of the night had a very high silat intelligence.

After channeling the energy of treatment that emits light accompanied by a bluish mist that spreads very cool air, in a short time the inside and outside wounds of the woman can be partially restored. when it dawned has changed in the morning. three bodies were still lying there but the young man limping his helper had disappeared.the incident also made the Jepara area uproar.since then no one dared to make a mess in the widow's food stall.

At that time the widow's yellow clothes restaurant was still small.not only until the afternoon alone.the cuisine is very good and evocative people's taste at a cheap price makes it quickly develop. moreover, the yellow dress widow is good at establishing good relations with various groups including royal officials until the food stalls are getting bigger and famous.

In just half a year he had five female bodyguards of his own upbringing and ten women working as guest servants. from a small food stall has now become a large lodging house and a famous entertainment place in the Jepara region.although the place also provides comfort women, as well, but no one can or dare to be rude to them.

Because in addition to the beautiful widow of the owner of the restaurant Lawang Wangi which was then better known as 'Nyi Rondo Kuning' it had great swordsmanship, the five girls of his men were also not weak and easy to deal with.

If visitors enter the back, there is a hot spring pool protected by a brick wall that is more than one spear high. the hot spring pool is divided into several plots separated by a stone arrangement of times for the convenience of the visitors who want to bathe there.

In the pool at the far left near the outer separation wall, a young man was seen soaking while closing his eyes enjoying the warm water of the baths are steamy thin. when seen the appearance of the man's burly body skin was a bit pale and full of scratches scars.A rod of iron whose handle was wrapped in a sheet of black cloth stuck in the rock wall of the pond.

Although the rainy season is at the end, but the weather is still often cloudy.as well as dusk today, the sky looks dark covered with clouds. the sound of fluttering sleeves of the robe sounded soft along with the presence of a figure of a beautiful woman. Without saying anything the maniacal woman took off her thin and tight yellow robe until she was completely naked.

With a graceful pitching pair of smooth white feet it had gone down the pool which was in the plots next to the pond of the young man.the two large and white breasts were seen swaying along with his footsteps. her thick black hair instantly became wet on the surface of the hot watering pool as the woman began to swim.

His white skin was glistening under the light of the torch fire that lit up the surrounding pool. after a while the woman stopped and leaned her body against the stone wall until she and the pale young man leaned against each other.

''Although I understand your reasons for not wanting anything bad to happen to us, I still feel that it is only your escape when you need help..'' the woman half complained. ''But now, suddenly you show up again. surely you want to charge the search results of the secret news that became our duty.!''

''You know not if looking for news about the 'Devil Gate' is not only very difficult but also full of death threats.The few eyes they suspect, we must have been wiped out. although I owe you my life, but I do not want my men to be wretched.

''You just do it slowly, there is no need to act that is beyond reasonableness.I also do not want to happen anything bad to you guys.'' said the young man who soaked in the next room. the woman smiled faintly. ''Well, I love it when I hear that you're worried about me. Who would have thought that the 'Cold Pale Face' aka 'Broker Without Friends' could be concerned with women like me. Hik., hi.!''

The young man who was none other than Pranacitra was sewot. ''You don't get me wrong Nyi Rondo Kuning., what I'm worried about is you six and ten comfort women yours, so you're not the only one. after all with the swordsmanship of 'Rondo Kuning' all you have, it's rare for a martialist to dare to mess up your place.so, don't try to pretend to be a weak woman in need of protection.!'' said the cynical limp.

The woman who apparently was the owner of the restaurant as well as the Lawang Wangi inn was pouting. ''Huhm., you cold young man, can not be romantic at all. Even though a widow who long left her husband dead but I believe that my body is still attractive and not inferior to a virgin girl. sucks.!'' her grunts were annoyed, but then her beautiful face turned full of earnestness.

''There was a little bit of news that we managed to get, accidentally a guest who was drunk in his room and was about to sleep with a woman of his choice dropped a bloody moon flag emblem black party.you know., he said., the ten comfort women despite not having high magic and only served the guests, but they were very good at taking heart, understand and be loyal to his duty in finding any important news so that we can sell to parties in need at a high price..''

''Of the many pieces of news that we have obtained so far and we have summarized, it is possible that the location of the secret headquarters of the Gapura Devil party is located in a remote place between the borders of the central and western parts of the island of Java, but where we still can not be sure..'' the woman momentarily stopped her speech because she heard a heavy grunt full of anger from the pool next to her.

The woman gasped for the temperature of the pool water to turn much hotter, a sign that the young man next to her was trying to curb the killing that was coming out of her. ''Crazy hot, my skin could blister if he did not immediately stop the wave of his magic.I should remember that he had a grudge against the strongest black party. fortunately this incident did not last long and the temperature of the pool water returned to normal.

''Forgive my attitude, but for a moment I really cannot control myself.Thank you for all your efforts because it must be very difficult to get the news even if it is just a piece. I really appreciate all your efforts, said Pranacitra sincerely making the woman unconsciously smile.

''We are only related because of reciprocity. All the business of this 'Lawang Wangi' big restaurant and inn also comes from the capital you gave me. it's just the comfort woman's effort that comes from me. Sorry if at that time I decided it without consulting first with you. because I thought., I., with the body and seduction of beautiful women will be easier to open the mouth of men..''

I heard breath coming from the pool next door. ''Everything has happened, as long as they do not work for you on the basis of coercion, I also do not want to interfere. Everything here is your responsibility.all the profit and loss you yourself also bear..''

Apparently since half a year ago Pranacitra used his spoils from the association 'Merak Api' led by Nyi Merak Sinden aka 'Dewi Merak Merah Merak Merah' to be used as a business capital of restaurants and lodging. during the journey this young man seemed to be the target of revenge almost all streams in the martial world. as great as his knowledge is still sometimes he feels desperate and needs shelter or recuperate from the wounds caused by the fight.

Coincidentally she once helped a woman who owned a small food stall named Nyi Rondo Kuning.so called because reportedly she was a widow who died her husband. in short, there was an agreement between these two people and became a 'Lawang Wangi' restaurant because every door stalls and inns there always smelled good.

The place then thrived and provided gambling and comfort women.although these last two ventures had nothing to do with Pranacitra, but the secret news gained from the venture was very useful. the last example, before the fight on the north slope of Merapi actually Pranacitra had stopped here to find out who the prospective opponents, the following levels of knowledge and weaknesses.

In recent months it has helped the cripple to survive.he is not a stupid swordsman and feels the most intelligent who easily throw his energy in a fight. if you already know the habits, and, weakness is also the superiority of your enemies, why also must bother. because no matter how bitter life in this world, still better than being able to survive is the main.

''One more piece of news, have you ever heard of the 'Five Fire Eagles.?'' asked Nyi Rondo Yellow. there was no answer from the pool behind him. ''We heard that the five of them who are only two months into the ten strongest young newcomers replace the 'Grand Geni' that you have finished off on Mount Semeru are planning to challenge you.!''
