Pitung nodded his head in agreement with the little girl's invitation. “Yes, of course I want!” saith.
The little girl immediately smiled widely, very happy to hear it. He immediately turned his head back towards the skinny man and woman who looked very thin and dressed shabby. “Dad... Mothers... Sister Adventurers want to stay at our house!”
The little girl's father and mother smiled wryly, both of them seemed to be embarrassed as everyone's gazes were fixed towards them.
The girl's father waved his hand and said, “Pardon my daughter's words, she's just kidding.”
The little girl shook her head and refuted her Father's words, “No! Adventurer brother will sleep at home with me!” The grip of his hand is getting tighter grasping the thumb of Pitung's hand.
Adar approached Pitung and whispered, “Donovan is just a laborer living in a small hut outside the Village. Mr. Zagralaas need not respond to this invitation of his son, I have provided a nice room for Mr. Zagralaas.”
Adar deliberately whispers that Donovan is not offended by his remarks, with this information Adar hopes that Pitung rejects this little girl's invitation for reasonable reasons without making her cry.
Pitung looked at the little girl who was staring at him with sparkling eyes so that his little heart could not bear to refuse his invitation.
“It's okay Uncle Adar.. I will stay with them, it's just one night and I'm used to sleeping in the open while adventuring!” sahut Pitung smiled warmly which made the residents stunned, not expecting a Rank S Adventurer to blend in with the poor.
“Alright.. come to my house Brother Adventurer, this morning I made dry bread and still save a few more pieces!” The little girl excitedly pulled out Pitung's hand and walked out of Adonara Village.
The little girl's parents apologized to Adar for her daughter's actions and Adar said it was okay because Pitung himself did not reject her daughter's invitation.
Helen Flanagan himself was still astonished to see Pitung go with the little girl in shabby clothes, if only the invitation was fixed on him then without further ado he would immediately refuse.
Adar looked at Helen Flanagan and said, “Sorry Miss Helen.
Helen Flanagan raised her hand and said, “It's okay. He was just curious about the Orc so he came with us!”
...***...
“What's your name beautiful girl?” pitung asked the little girl who kept smiling all the way to his house.
“Salsa... Sister Adventurer!” sahut, “that's our home!” He pointed at the small house next to the farm.
Salsa released the grip of his hand on the thumb of Pitung's hand, he ran into the house.
Donovan and his wife Isabel smiled at Salsa. When he heard from the children of Adonara Village that the Adventurers from the Meteor Guild were coming to the Village, he immediately asked his father and mother to take him to the Village to see the Adventurers.
Initially the goal was just to shake hands with high Rank Adventurers, but when he saw the Adventurers living in the homes of other Village children—Salsa did not want to miss, too, he immediately noticed who the Adventurer who he thought was the strongest and his gaze was immediately fixed on Pitung whose back hung the Sword of Hell Of Darkness and immediately chose Pitung to stay at his house.
Pitung turned his head towards Donovan and Isabel while smiling, both of them also smiled while nodding their heads.
“Hmm, until when do they keep smiling? Say something, cake?” Pitung complained in his mind because he was also confused about what to say hello to the couple.
Salsa came out of his house while carrying a plate containing dry bread that was very small in size.
“Wah, great once Salsa can already make Bread!” sahut Pitung directly chewed dry bread that is very hard and tastes bad. However, he showed a facial expression as if enjoying the dried Bread.
“He-he-he.. Actually Mother made it, I just helped a little!” sahut Salsa's.
“Please enter Mr Zagralaas!” sela Donovan invited Pitung into her house.
Pitung entered the house and was surprised, it turned out that the house did not have a room and there were only mats and shabby pillows there, while for cooking Isabel did it outside the house.
Pitung did not expect Adonara Village that looks prosperous it turns out there are also very poor residents.
Donovan picked up Jala (a fishing gear) located in the corner of the room. “I go to the river briefly Mr. Zagralaas.. Do not hesitate, just consider this house your home also ha-ha-ha.” He laughed awkwardly.
“Is it okay to come out ahead of a night like this? Fear there are beasts!” pitung looked at Isabel who was doing the dishes.
“The river is close, really.. and my husband has done it often, the area here is very safe from wild animals because Adventurer Party Mr. David always patrolling,” said Isabel.
Salsa followed her mother out of the house and helped her wash the dishes. He looked very excited because Pitung was watching him.
Pitung smiled at the behavior of the little girl.
“Did aunt Isabel not have her own farmland?” ask Pitung wondering why they ended up being laborers here.
Isabel took a deep breath, her hands nimbly rinsing the dirty dishes before her.
“Actually we are from the North, a year ago our Village became a battlefield between the Human Magic Knights against the Demon Forces. The incident happened suddenly, so we did not have time to save our property and were forced to evacuate to a safe place.”
Isabel kept telling me while in the refugee camp they were short of food, when food aid from the Temple of Light arrived, the refugees would fight each other and often Donovan did not get food and were forced to eat grass so as not to starve.
Unable to live there, Donovan decided to take his family to Trivoni. However, there also Donovan difficulty getting a job until there are residents of Adonara Village who offer work as laborers on his farm.
That is why they ended up in Adonara Village and became the only workers who were paid very cheaply. However, they remain grateful because here still can eat every day even though the food is not nutritious.
Pitung was very touched to hear Isabel's story, he was reminded of himself who migrated to Jakarta. Where he is paid only regional minimum wage, even though his needs are very high as a Wibu because he collects many figurines of anime girls and of course watch films as well as a collection of many printed novels.
“Hei, Salsa... what are your ideals?” tanya Pitung broke the silence, because suddenly Isabel was silent after telling the story about her family.
“I want to be an Adventurer like Sister!” sahut Salsa while taking a tree branch and doing a movement to shake the Sword. “Light Release!” his yell.
Pitung laughed at his funny behavior and suddenly he fell silent because he felt the Mana fluctuation from the tree branch.
“Don't-don't this little girl actually has great potential of being a Witch,” thought she speculated and approached Salsa to ascertain if those Mana fluctuations really came from her.
