The Destiny of the Demon Sword
Lebakwangi City
"Ha ha, that's true. Her face was prettier than any girl, but she was still a man, if you went to the Xiao empire in the Eastern continent of the Sun, you would see her there" Grandfather Mamat replied.
"Thank God the Xiao empire and the Sun continent still exist today" the orange reply was more interested in knowing the Sun continent and the Xiao empire did not undergo a name change like the Majang continent.
After the conversation, Mamat's grandfather immediately returned to his room, while Jingga sat in meditation waiting for the morning.
The morning sun shone so bright, Orange said goodbye to grandfather Mamat and Rizal, while Neng Asih remained silent in his room. He did not want to see the orange leave.
"Nak Jingga, this is the sword Grandfather found in the ruins of the former royal palace. Take it with you" Mamat's grandfather handed it over.
"Good sword, thank you Mrs" replied Orange took it.
He then turned and turned to look for artifacts to be able to return to his time.
Along the journey across such a vast estate, Orange looked bored no one accompanied her to speak.
"It's boring" he lamented.
The morning changed, and Jingga looked up at the sky and saw the sun above her head.
"Am I back to being human? Why does my throat dry?" He felt thirst.
Orange noticed the surrounding plantation area looking for something she could drink, but nothing was found around her. Upset not to find it, Orange immediately climbed a tree high enough to reach the top. He looked at the large plantation area.
"Well! Never mind, I cannot die of thirst" he murmured.
The orange came back down, not until he was on the ground. There were footsteps coming towards him. He then hid in a tree trunk that had many branches and leaves that disguised himself.
Seen from a distance two girls on a horse headed towards him quickly.
"It looks like the two Misses can give me a ride" he murmured.
The orange then prepared to jump down, but it undoes its intention. Behind the two girls looked a dozen horses were chasing after him.
"Ha ha got a moment to be a hero, but I need more water now" he said.
Moments later, two horses the girl was riding past her. The orange then jumped down against the dozens of men who were riding horses.
A loud snippet sounded from the horse that was forcibly stopped by the men riding it.
"Hey! who're you?" Ask a man with the front face.
"Nobody, have any of you brought water? I searched for water but did not find it here" replied Jingga while asking for water.
"You're just surprising us, take it!" Reply to the man throwing a water bag.
The orange caught him and immediately swallowed him for a moment.
"Fresh and sweet, what is this water?" Ask Orange and then throw back the water bag to its owner.
"That's old water, sold in the market a lot" the man replied and left.
"Wait, Sir! Can I hitchhike?" Pinta Orange held him back.
"Sorry young swordsman, we are chasing two thief girls" replied the man who refused.
Orange was silent letting dozens of men go past him, but the last man stopped right in front of him.
"Alright, it looks like you're a swordsman" asked the last, well-built man.
"Him!"
Horses ran after others so quickly following the footprints of the horses on the path.
"Rear, what did the two girls steal?" Ask Orange to know.
"Before answering, introduce me to Bramakeling"
"Both of them stole the Ganjardewa book on our steps, we were ordered by our teacher to take it back to the Fry Tiger store" replied the man who introduced himself as Bramakeling.
Orange almost laughed at the name of the plaster called by Bramakeling. Fried here is not a snack cooked with vegetable oil, but based on the Sundanese word which means ugly.
Without feeling the disciples of the Fry Tiger's fist had already come out of the plantation area, they were now entering the city area of a kingdom.
It looks like urban houses look more sturdy than the small orange first. With a stage style that supports six tree trunks around it, the house dominated by woven bamboo stems looks so luxurious and elegant.
Orange to his amazement, he unceasingly continued to pay attention to the large and spacious houses around him.
"We're splitting up now, I'm sure Mutia and Indahsari are hiding among the townsfolk's houses" said Ramatek.
"Bok Kakang" said another man and then scattered to all corners of the city.
"Kang Brama, I'll just get off here. I want to enjoy the atmosphere of this beautiful city" Pinta Jingga immediately jumped down from the horse's back.
"Well, your destination is south of Lebakwangi, it takes a week's walk to reach it. Buy a horse to shorten the time. At other times, visit our storehouse" Bramakeling suggested.
"Thank you, Kakang. Hopefully you can also bring back your book. I will try to visit it if there is a chance" reply Orange and then menjura.
Bramakeling nodded then continued his search in the other direction.
Orange walks leisurely while paying attention to the atmosphere of the city. Starting at dusk, he continued to walk in search of a tavern to rest.
After a few steps away, he finally found a bamboo shop that many people visited who went in and out. Orange entered it, before long he came back out because he did not have a penny.
The dhuar!
Lightning strikes were earthy in the sky, before long it rained very heavily. Orange re-entered the store, he sat not far from the entrance.
A servant approached him with a friendly smile welcoming him.
"Welcome to Purnama bamboo shop, whether Kakang wants to order food or drinks. We have many special menus today, fried fish raw sambal, fish roasted soy sauce, special village chicken, lizard guling, goat guling and many other menus" welcome the waiter to reveal the menu of the store that is faster to be referred to as a restaurant.
"Kang, is there anything free here? My money was lost on the way" whispered an orange in the servant's ear.
The waiter immediately glum to hear it, he who had promoted many menus looked so disappointed in the look on his face. He did not want to disappoint the customer and said
"White water and free tea, which one do you want?"
"If both are free, can you?"
The waiter nodded then went towards the kitchen to retrieve it.
Before long the waiter returned with a large enough tray containing two pots made of clay and several plates on which there was a lot of food and placed it on the table occupied by Orange.
"Kang, I can't pay for it. Why did Kakang bring so much food?" Ask Orange astonishment.
"I was just ordered by the store owner to bring it to Kakang. Kakang could ask directly to the owner of the tavern on the other end" replied the waiter showing a door at the inner end of the tavern.
