KUG 48 Lessons from the Ipul


" Oh yes, thank you everyone. "


Ipul waved his hand to the crowd in front of him, some of them consisting of children and parents who were watching and recording the action of himself and Arya who had made candy gulali.


They were all grateful and asked when Ipul would return to this park, but Ipul only said that he only did this as a hobby.


" When we match, we will meet again. Thank you all. "


Ipul also helps Arya who is repairing equipment when the crowd has left her place. Although some of them feel regret because Arya refuses to give her contact number.


" You've always been as popular with women as ever. "


Said Ipul with a big smile to Arya. While Arya just rolled her eyeballs hearing the words of Ipul.


Then Arya followed Ipul who was walking in front of him while dragging a large suitcase containing equipment used for selling.


" I need information about the Devil's fire poison. Grandfather was exposed to the poison while fighting a true Devil before. "


Arya immediately said her intention was to look for Ipul when they arrived at a deserted place.


" uh? Do you have an example? "


Said Ipul while still dragging his big suitcase in front of Arya. Ipul needs an example of such poison so that he does not misinform. 


Since poison is a very dangerous thing, many poisons have the same symptoms and look the same as other poisons to outwit someone who intends to treat it.


Therefore, Ipul needs a sample of the poison received by Vishnu so that there is no mistake in providing information about the antidote.


" I've already prepared it. "


Arya intends to take something from inside the dimensional pocket that is in the front pocket of the sweater she is wearing. But his hand stopped because Ipul grasped his hand very quickly.


" Are you that reckless? You can panic, but you have to stay focused and not be careless Arya. "


Speak Ipul while fixing the position of the glasses he wears with a wide smile of his.


" … Sorry, I'm in a hurry. "


Arya was silent for a moment after understanding what Ipul meant.


It seemed that he was too eager to quickly know the answer from Ipul and forget that they were in a public place. 


Although they were not in a crowded place and there were only the two of them on this path, everything would be very dangerous if Arya took out the poison samples she brought.


Although the poison had been sealed inside the special container that Li Shu had given, it was given the extremely powerful poison power, then there is the possibility that the poison will have an impact on the environment in which they are located.


Ipul just smiled broadly at Arya who realized his mistake and walked back in front of Arya like there was nothing.


" Follow Me. "


Said Ipul who continued to walk casually, Arya followed Ipul and walked behind him. Arya was embarrassed by her carelessness and held back any other questions she had.


They both pass through a narrow alley and when they meet the T-junction, Ipul and Arya disappear from the place and enter the Astral Realm.


" Wait until I ask you to remove the poison. "


Speak Ipul who pay attention to the place around it.  They were both in the wilderness in the Astral Realm, then the suitcase that Ipul carried disappeared because it fell into the black vortex under the suitcase.


Then the two of them walked back through the trees and plants in this wilderness. Yet there was no ordinary sound of magical animals heard within this magical forest, they seemed to be afraid of something and immediately hid without a sound that made this forest suddenly become silent since Ipul and Arya arrived.


Speak Ipul while bending his body and picking the fruit ciplukan which is among the bush. the ciplukan tree which has a height of about 1 meter is not far from a large tree and is blocked by shrubs around it.


" You don't mind if I take it, do you? "


Said Ipul with a big smile towards the large tree nearby. 


A monkey that has a height of 2 meters and a jet black fur looks to be hugging the trunk of a tree with its trembling body and body position that turns its back on Arya and Ipul.


The monkey's body stopped for a moment as if surprised by the sound of Ipul, then the monkey immediately took the aba aba, ran and jumped.


The monkey's body looked unbalanced as it hit the ground which made his body roll over, then he immediately tried to balance his body and ran away from this place.


" Comeon.. Why should it be like that.. "


Said Ipul as he opened his glasses and showed a face full of disappointment. Arya could only hold back the twitch on her eyebrows when she saw a monkey running around and leaving a little liquid dripping in the grass she passed.


" Huh.. I only intend to take one fruit, but it seems that the monkey does not want this fruit anymore, you poor monkey, leave without saying goodbye. "


Ipul shook his head and opened the petals of the fruit in his hand, then he ate the fruit while closing his eyes.


" Hm.. It tastes sour, but there's a sweet sweetness on the tip. Do you want Arya? "


Speak to Ipul while picking other fruits from the small tree.


" … "


Arya felt a bit of pity considering this tree and fruit was something that had been guarded by the monkey.


Mystical animals such as monkeys sometimes control the area around and have strong abilities.


This tree was something that he guarded and would eat to increase their strength, the amount of spiritual energy that the fruit that resembled the fruit of the ciplukan was quite good.


The monkey had to give up the tree and chose to flee, even though the fruit was the most precious thing in the forest, but his instincts say that he will lose his life when dealing with a strange man who wears glasses and a cowboy hat.


Then Arya took one pluck and opened the golden petals slowly.


" Good, you should try it to understand. "


Said Ipul while watching Arya who frowned and closed her eyes while chewing on the reddish-colored fruit. 


Arya felt an overwhelming sour taste as she chewed this fruit, but after this annoying sour taste, Arya felt that the whole sour taste disappeared and her tongue could not feel anything. But in an instant Arya could feel a slightly sweet taste and her body was filled with spiritual energy that spread from this fruit throughout her body.


But of course the overwhelming sourness remains disturbing, and the sweetness that is at the end is not very satisfying. Only the amount of spiritual energy is quite a lot that makes Arya can forget a bit of sourness before.


" Where? Do you know what I meant by that ? "


Said Ipul while nodding his head, as if proud to have given Arya the fruit.


" We have to stand any test and keep going, because if we stand up and try, then we will get a sweet result like this fruit? "


Said Arya while frowning her forehead, Arya thinks that maybe Ipul wants to teach that under these difficult circumstances Arya must keep trying to get satisfactory results like the spiritual energy he feels from this fruit.


" Uh.I mean not all fruits that have spiritual energy are tasty.. "


" …. "
