The Fighter
Chapter 42 Towards the West
In the morning before breakfast, without feeling awkward Wisanggeni was waiting in front of the room Rengganis. Not waiting for long, with a crimson face down Rengganis came out from inside the room. Along with Rengganis, Larasati was also preparing to go for breakfast. Smiling wryly the young man looked at the two beautiful girls as they rose, they came out and walked side by side without a word of greeting.
"How was the break last night Anis?" sapa Wisanggeni's.
"All right." replied Rengganis briefly. But it seems he realized, if there is a victim who will pounce on Wisanggeni if he behaves childishly. Once in front of the young man, Rengganis immediately grabbed his hand and immediately walked while leaning his head on his left shoulder.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Larasati immediately walked faster. With a sullen face, he preceded the two of them. Wisanggeni just scratched his head to see it.
"Good morning Laras.., it's fresh this morning." said Lindhuaji saw Larasati who had walked into the pendopo.
"Huh." answered Larasati briefly, and immediately took a seat beside Widjanarko.
Widjanarko smiled, and he blinked his eyes at Lindhuaji. The second son Ki Mahesa just smiled with a whimper.
Not long after, Wisanggeni came by embracing Rengganis who seemed to not want to be separated from the man. Widjanarko shook his head to see the scene in front of him.
"Come on Wisang, Nimas Rengganis.we'll have breakfast soon! After that, we can do any activity." Widjanarko immediately broke the clumsiness of the atmosphere, by inviting them to breakfast together.
Rengganis deftly, take rice along with side dishes and vegetables for Wisanggeni. It is like a wife serving her husband. But no one dared to rebuke them. They do breakfast in silence.
"The fish pipes are savory, the seasoning fits. It's smart the cook's blending the season." Wisanggeni praised the cook's cooking.
"Yes obviously fitting Wisang, because usually only eat grilled fish with salt." said Lindhuaji.
"Yes.., even then not necessarily once a month can get the fish." Widjanarko chimed in on Lindhuaji.
"Ha.ha.ha.., right Kang. Several times Wisang eat in the store, also do not find pepes fish with a taste like this" said Wisanggeni.
"Obviously there is no Kang, right all this time there is no Anis who accompanies Akang enjoy pepes fish." Rengganis enlivened the atmosphere.
Larasati remained silent and did not comment.
"Nimas Laras.., try this wader!! Savory, catch on the river." Lindhuaji took the wader and placed it on the Larasati plate.
Larasati turned her head towards Lindhuaji, then smiled and lowered her face again.
"Ehmmm...., why am I this morning like a self-lit Incense huh? No one cares about me." Widjanarko comments seeing his two younger siblings watching each other's girls.
"Ha.., ha.ha., oh yes Wisang to forget brother. When Wisang joined the auction, there was Kinara who left greetings for the two brothers" said Wisanggeni suddenly.
Hearing those words, Widjanarko smiled wryly.
"The seminar was Kang Widjanarko's friend not Aji's friend. A pretty complicated friendship." Lindhuaji commented on Widjanarko and Kinara's relationship.
"Already.., already. soon we finish our breakfast. After this, what are your plans?" Widjanarko shifted the subject.
Wisanggeni glanced at Rengganis who was sitting beside him.
"Last night I spoke with Nimas Rengganis, after this breakfast we both wanted to say goodbye. We will go to the region at the West end, going to Mount Baturetno" said Wisanggeni slowly.
"For Larasati, please choose for yourself. You want to come with us, or you want to stay in this clan. I leave everything to Larasati herself. Then, if you agree, I also nitip on Kang Aji and Kang Widjanarko to monitor the activities and developments of the Bhirawa Clan." continued Wisanggeni.
After breakfast, Wisanggeni and Rengganis finally left the Gumilang Clan. Larasati returned to the previous city, she chose to keep an eye on the development of the Bhirawa Clan. Seeing the girl care about the Clan her father had originally led, Lindhuaji finally accompanied Larasati to join the remnants of the Clan members.

"Look at it. - looks like smoke billowing! Means there is a residential settlement." said Rengganis.
The girl looks very happy to be back together with Wisanggeni. The two of them were currently on the back of the Ulung Lion, who was flying over the forest. Rengganis sat in front, and Wisanggeni hugged Rengganis from behind.
"Yes, we're going there. We go to the nearest village first. While looking for information on the exact location of the mountain, we can find lodging to rest." said Wisanggeni. Her nose of kempis kissed the girl's hair.
"Lion Ulung..., we're down in the nearest village huh! We'll find lodging in the village first." Wisanggeni continued on the Lion Clumbs while gently rubbing the fine feather on his head.
"Aauuumm's.." The Lion of Ulung roars in response to Wisanggeni's call.
Not long after, the Lion Cleric began to reduce his flying speed. After a while, finally at the edge of the village the beast immediately descended to the ground. Wisanggeni immediately jumped down, then held Rengganis' hand and helped him down from the Ulung Lion's back. Then he patted the upper leg of the beast, and in a flash the Crew Lion turned into an adorable cat.
"Thank you Lion Ulung" said Rengganis while holding the white cat. He stroked the fur on the cat's back gently. Wisanggeni smiled seeing the action of the girl.
"We're going to take a break at the store first, or all order food while looking for lodging?" ask Wisanggeni.
"Search for lodging only kang. Usually the inn also provides food for visitors." said Rengganis.
They then walked into the village, and after a few hundred meters, they found there was a Rainbow Inn.
"What if we go to that inn?" Wisanggeni pointed to the inn at the end of the road.
Rengganis turned his head in the direction indicated by Wisanggeni.
"Yes kang, looks like the inn is clean."
Rushing they immediately came to the inn, and it turned out that the inn was also as a tavern. They went straight to the booking section.
"We booked a room for two" Wisanggeni told the guard.
"You want one room for two, or one room each?" ask guards.
"Two rooms." said Rengganis. Wisanggeni just smiled hearing the answer from the girl.
"Okay, 4 gold pieces" replied the officer. Rengganis immediately took out 4 pieces of gold and gave them to the guard.
The guard then took two room keys, then gave them to Rengganis. The girl took the key and one key she gave to Wisanggeni.
"Kang Wisang.., Lion Ulung accompanied Anis first huh?" Rengganis asked Wisanggeni for permission to bring the Ulung Lion.
Wisanggeni nodded his head, then immediately went into the room.
