THE FIRE DRAGON WARRIOR
CH 47'S. The Trouble Seeker II

" You're finally home." Grandma's old greeting welcomes Rimbu's return. The faint smile on the lips of the grandmother was "who is the handsome man who comes home with you."Both eyes he looked at Rimbu suspiciously.

" Mrma!!! why stare at me like that, he was just a young man who met me on the street. He looks very hungry. So I invited him to eat with us." Rimbu tried to explain, but he could not hide his reddened face.

" Young man, come join us for dinner." A grandmother suddenly appeared in front of Hasea as she came out of the cubicle after finishing cleaning her body. The sudden appearance of the grandmother made Hasea a little surprised. " Ah.he's good grandma, sorry to bother you." Hasea then followed the grandmother into the house.

" Let's eat with us. I'm afraid you're starving to death. I guarantee you'll love Grandma Lamsia's cooking." Rimbu welcomes Hasea.

Sure enough, Hasea devoured all the food served in front of him. For a very long time he only ate fish or wild chickens that he only burned potluck. Now the food cooked with various spices and seasoning flavoring presented in front of him made his appetite increase .

" Have you not eaten in years? Your way of eating is horrible." Rimbu was so astonished by the way Hasea ate that it was like wanting to swallow all of that food at once.

" Rimbu, let this young man eat the fullest."

"So what's your name young man?" Lamsia's grandmother asked Hasea a question until she stopped eating for a moment. " My name is Hasea Grandma, thank you for this meal. This is really good cooking. You should open a restaurant. " Praise Hasea sincerely.

" It must have been delicious, it used to be that grandma was the owner of the most famous restaurant in the city, at least until the swordsmen started acting at will." Rimbu said annoyedly.

" Already Rimbu, it does not need to be taken up again.Then do you already have a lover or maybe you already have a wife?" Lamsia's grandmother's question made Hasea and Rimbu willing simultaneously. " Granny..! What kind of question is that?" Rimbu Protest.

" What's why? That's a very reasonable question. For a handsome man like Hasea this must be many women approaching him." Grandma Lamsia said with a smile looking at Rimbu. " No grandma, I'm not married yet.I can't even say my age is worth getting married." Hasea immediately answered Lamsia's grandmother's question hoping not to be asked another strange question.

The three people were non-stop talking while eating food at the table. Actually, Hasea was more interested in eating all the food than serving the two people in front of him talk, but occasionally he still answered kindly the strange questions of Lamsia's grandmother.

" Thank you, Grandma's cooking is really good. I feel like I'm gaining twice as much." Hasea said as she put the last spoon in her mouth.

" This is Grandma, save it" Rimbu handed over the package containing several pieces of silver to Grandma Lamsia after the three of them had finished dinner. " It's a lot of silver, are you stealing again?" Grandma Lamsia looked at Rimbu Worrying. " No grandma, that's the pay I've received after working for a few days." Rimbu lied. His eyes glanced towards Hasea. Hasea understood the meaning of that glance. " All right, we better get some rest. The night is getting late." Granny Lamsia.

Hasea just fell silent in place. He looked around the small house. There were only 2 rooms there, one of them was Lamsia's grandmother's room and the other was Rimbu's room. "You sleep on the floor of this living room." Rimbu like being able to read the mind of Hasea who was confused looking for a bed. Rimbu brought a mattress and blanket from his room to Hasea.

" What are you doing? " Tanya Rimbu when she found Hasea meditating in the living room of the house. Hasea then opened her eyes when she heard Rimbu's voice greeting her. " You're up? Isn't it still too early?" Reply Hasea without answering Rimbu's question. " Are your eyes blind? The sun was almost in the middle of the sky." Rimbu said while opening the window. Focusing on her meditation left Hasea unaware that it was almost noon.

" Where's Lamsia's grandmother?" Hasea asked Rimbu to cover up her embarrassment. " Granny, most are farming in the backyard. Usually Grandma would water some of the vegetables she planted there every morning like this".

" Hey.. Where are you going? Are you gonna steal again?" Hasea's words stopped Rimbu who was about to leave the house. " Slow down your voice, do you want grandma to hear you? After all, I have not said, I only take what is rightfully ours. " The look of Rimbu's eyes sharply pointed towards Hasea, it made Hasea a little horrified.

" Other than you keep quiet there, how about you come with me to town. Who knew you could get information about the place you were headed?" Rimbu. Hasea agreed, he did want to immediately find out where the Hill was crying.

The two men went out of the house together to head for the city. Along the way back Hasea looked at the condition of the people. His eyes were radiating concern. " How can the palace stand idly by to see all this?" Mumbles Hasea.

" Those people, aren't they tired of always troublemaking!!" Rimbu's eyes radiated anger. In front of them were some royal soldiers who broke into the old man's merchandise.

" If you can't pay taxes, don't sell merchandise once in a while in the Partungko Naginjang kingdom." Said one of the soldiers.

" Pardon your servant, I do not have a piece of silver. No slave merchandise has been sold for a few days." Said the old merchant while prostrating holding the foot of one of the soldiers who had a higher rank.

" What's going on?" Ask Hasea to Rimbu. " Can't you see? The savage soldiers were pulling taxes at their will. The royal party did not contribute at all to the lives of the people in this city. But they're quoting an unreasonable amount of taxes." Furious full of anger.

" Hey what are you gonna do?" Hasea pulled Rimbun's arm intending to go to those soldiers.

" Let go of my hand, brash people like them deserve a lesson."
