The Cold Blooded Hunter: Seeker of Peace
297. Rest in town 6
"And I know what you're thinking..." Rei looked at me and Vina, "If you think I'm married, then you're one hundred percent right."
...
...
...
"Oh, I see.." I nodded slowly, "Are you that?"
Rei and the woman beside him raised their eyebrows together, Vina pulled my ears and asked, "That's what you mean?"
"Just know." I took Rei's coffee mug and drank it a little, "OK, first you have to introduce who your wife is..."
"My name is Dian Permata. Me and Rei got married a year ago, a few months before Ayu's mother died of illness." the woman bowed slightly, "Greetings, general of Heaven and general of Vina."
Pfft, general Vina...
"My name is Sky and the name of the woman beside me is Vina, you must know my name and Vina from television many years ago." I explained, "And my goal here is to pull Rei back into the military."
"Dian, you must have known that Rei used to be my most powerful subordinate besides general Andhika, so you also realized that your husband cannot be a hauler in the market constantly." I pointed to Rei, "His ability cannot be gathered here, he must wear it for the world."
"Yes, I understand that..." Dian nodded softly, "From the beginning he said that he was Hunter, I already understood him, that one day he would go on duty and leave me alone at home, and I'm ready for it all."
"Then my next question is one.." I raise my index finger, "Are you going to follow Rei to Jakarta, or are you staying here?"
"My answer is simple, I will follow him wherever he goes." he replied quickly, and his answer made me remember Vina's words last night.
Follows men wherever they go, yes... Interesting too...
"So, what about you, Rei? Do you want to fall asleep and let this world crumble?" I asked as I held my chin, "As someone who has already stepped foot in the military, you certainly understand the meaning of the news that has emerged lately, until an international military conference has to be held for the second time?"
Rei lowered his head, and I felt that he was still unstable, it was possible that the effects of the war two years ago still existed until now, and something happened as long as he disappeared from the world...
"Hmph, if you think I'm going to back out again, maybe you're wrong..." Rei stood up, "I will continue my duties as a soldier."
He raised his right hand, saluted it as usual, and I stood up and saluted back.

Today Rei told me to stay in town 6, he said me and Vina had to rest after traveling all the way from Jakarta to city 6.
And Rei gave us a room to rest in, while he and his wife slept in the other room.
Simply put, Rei's current home contained two rooms, one kitchen, one bathroom, and one living room. Very simple and similar to my grandfather's house in the village...
And... Vina and I did our usual routine back in Jakarta. Take a bath, eat, and read a book before going to bed. With notes we took alternating showers...
Yaaa, after I turned seventeen, I began to understand a few more things, which were wider than when I was a child.
"Look at the brightest shining star." I pointed to the sky above me, "Beautiful isn't it?"
"Yes..."
"Beautiful as you."
I glanced at Vina who was sitting next to me, we were now in Rei's spacious courtyard, where Rei and I used to fight... Well, it feels nostalgic to remember it...
"What about Rei? Did he really agree to return to the military?" ask Vina.
I nodded even though I doubt Vina saw my nod, "Well, I can say that Rei is an ambitious person as well as quickly getting bored of something. He will do whatever he feels is right, continue to improve himself, and he will continue to look for something to eliminate his boredom of something."
"What makes Rei the strongest empty-handed fighter in the world after Tom's death is his ambition to defeat me and finish off the monster that killed his father first."
"Look at how the world will be in an uproar on the return of Rei whose last news was to be killed in the forest.." I chuckled a little as I imagined it...

"Wake up! It's already six and a half!"
I kicked at Rei's room door, and I saw him standing in front of the closet pulling something.
"Who let you in here?!" Rei tied his towel in his hand then walked over to me, "Don't think since I have a higher rank can make me forgive you!"
I jumped back, and Rei raised his hand covered in a blue towel. Rei walked past me, while I stuck to the wall to give him a way through.
Rei entered the bathroom, the sound of the door being closed was heard, before long the sound of water being watered sounded loud.
I walked away from where I was, then sat on the sofa in the living room, with Vina sitting while cleaning the parts of her rifle.
Well, Vina has been diligent in caring for her rifle since****** attacked the housing we live in, and when I usually ask her, she only answers briefly,
"Because I'm bored."
Even so, he never lowered his guard at all, in contrast to ordinary people when he was in a place that felt safe.
I pulled the Black Flame Sword then I stared at the black-glossed blade exposed to the dim light in the room, looking a little creepy.
"Langit, I want to hold your sword." I saw Vina who raised her hand, and I sheathed my sword again and then gave it to her.
"Be careful, maybe this sword feels heavy in your hands." said I and Vina accepted it.
Okay, I'll explain it a little...
The Black Flame Sword was an heirloom of the Satria family that had been passed down hundreds of years ago, and according to the Flame Emperor's story, it could only be worn by selected members of the Satria family.
Only the chosen ones, which means that in the blood of the descendants of the Satria family, there is something that makes the members of the Satria family unique and different from ordinary people.
I still don't understand the meaning of something in the blood of the descendants of the Satria family, is there a mysterious flow of energy flowing? Or a mysterious power passed down from the previous generation to the next?
"Hee, so your sword is light?" Vina stood up and she lifted him up, "Light, I thought it would be as heavy as Andhika's sword..."
"Yo can not be compared so, the magnitude alone is far different, especially this object was created so that users are free to fight.." I grabbed my sword again and sat down, while Vina also sat down again, "And maybe you counted the chosen ones to be able to hold this sword."
"Huh?"
"That's how..."
