The Return of the Fire Dragon Swordsman
Jayagiri Mapanji
The handsome face of a young man aged around 17 or 18 warsa was gushed out from behind the butut bamboo caping he was wearing.The mark of the noble bloodline was clearly visible to the young man. At first glance it is similar to Panji Tejo Laksono but his body is slightly shorter with long straight hair.
Tumenggung Gurunwangi can immediately guess that the handsome young man and just beat up Demung Anggasuta and Juru Kanoman is not an ordinary person. Especially after he claimed to be the successor of martial arts Claw Rajawali Galunggung.
"Then, forgive the attitude of my men Kisanak. I am guilty of not being able to teach both of them well" Tumenggung Gurunwangi said immediately. The Rajapura soldier's high officer glanced at a man with a long beard who was still sitting on a wooden chair in a food stall with his leisure. The eyes of old men always pay attention to the movements of the swordsman with the sword and the team from the Duchy of Rajapura.
"Hmmmmmmm...
I can forgive them as long as the thin mustache is willing to apologize to the waitress. Was he willing to do it?", the handsome young man stared intently at Demung Anggasuta.
Demung Anggasuta who felt himself demeaned by the swordsman with the buttocks immediately stepped forward while pointing at the young man.
"You ... "
"Anggasuta, shut your mouth!!", cried the Desert Beaver loudly.
"But Gusti, the smelly boy, said.", before Demung Anggasuta finished his rebuttal, Tumenggung Gurunwangi swerved sharply at him while slapping hard on his cheek.
Plaaakkkk !!
"Who gave you permission to speak Anggasuta?! Are you now starting to dare to defy my orders?", look into the eyes of Tumenggung Desurwangi as if to finish off the life of Demung Anggasuta. Never before had Tumenggung Desertwangi behaved like this to them before. The Kanoman scribe who did not want to prolong the matter, immediately mediated their debate.
"Adi Anggasuta, stop..
There will be an explanation from our leader. Be patient", refer to the Kanoman immediately. Hearing that remark, Demung Anggasuta immediately nodded in understanding even with his face bent and respecting Tumenggung Desertwangi while retreating.
The spectators watching the fierce fight were staring at their conversation. Tumenggung Desurangwangi who looked towards the food stall waiter and the owner, immediately gave a signal to the two of them to come forward. The middle-aged man and the young girl looked at each other for a moment before the two of them stepped forward. After the two of them advanced to the courtyard of the food stall, Tumenggung Gurunwangi immediately turned to Demung Anggasuta as if asking that the middle officer of the Rajapura Warrior apologized to the two of them. With a frowning face, Demung Anggasuta immediately bowed to the owner of the food stall and the young maid girl saying, "I'm sorry Kisanak Nisanak".
"Children need not be confused..
I also apologize for our unsatisfactory service", replied the middle-aged man immediately with a slight fear. Apparently he was still frightened as well if Demung Anggasuta took revenge on them later on.
After seeing Demung Anggasuta apologise, Tumenggung Gurunwangi turned to the swordsman with the buttered sword and said, "My men have apologized to the waiter of the food stall, Pendekar..
This is over, isn't it?"
"Alright, I accept Kisanak.", replied the young man with a buttered sword while giving a signal to Tumenggung Desertwangi and his men to leave.
After getting the hand signal, Tumenggung Desurangwangi immediately stepped towards their horses that were moored on the side deck of the courtyard. Immediately he jumped on his horse mount and kicked his horse leaving the place towards the south followed by his followers.
After being far enough from the food stall, Tumenggung Desertwangi pulled the reins of his horse to stop the footsteps of the horse. All his followers did the same.
Demung Anggasuta shook his head in a sign of not understanding.
"The young man is not a random person. There was an old warrior escorting the young man. Even if I could defeat the butut-sworded swordsman, the long-bearded old man would not remain silent. I can't measure the old man's martial ability, and it's very dangerous for us to impose our will.
That's why I'm willing to lower our dignity as a high-ranking officer to a waitress. We are only giving up for now, but next time it will never happen again" said Tumenggung Desertwangi while grunting coldly.
"I understand Gusti Tumenggung", replied Demung Anggasuta while worshiping at Tumenggung Desertwangi.
After explaining the situation, Tumenggung Desurwangi immediately kicked his horse darting fast towards the south. The main destination is Padepokan Tawang Kencana which became the residence of Nyi Simbar Kencana.
Meanwhile, at the food stall the young lady and middle-aged man immediately approached the buttered swordsman as soon as Tumenggung Desertwangi left
"Thank you very much for your help, Kisanak Pendekar..
All my life I will never forget it ", said the young maid, bowing respectfully to the buttered swordsman.
"Ah just a little help, Nisanak..
I just don't like to see such a strong attitude oppressing an ordinary person as nice as his stomach. The next time you face someone like that, you better be careful", replied the swordsman with the butute while smiling thinly.
Not yet had the young lady's servant continue his talk, the long-bearded old man who had just watched the incident happen, darted quickly to the side of the swordsman with the butute sword.
"Have you played enough, Jayagiri?
It's time to continue our journey to Daha. We've been in this place too long ", said the long-bearded man immediately. The handsome young man called by the name of Jayagiri immediately carried his butut sword to his back after hearing the words of the old man with a long beard.
"I understand Master..
After all Naganingrum's mother must have been waiting for the arrival of the Master in Katang-katang Palace. Let's go ", Jayagiri replied with a knotty smile.
Yes, he is Mapanji Jayagiri. The son of Panji Watugunung aka Prabu Jayengrana with Dewi Naganingrum the third empress who is the daughter of Prabu Darmaraja, King Galuh Pakuan who has died. He is the nephew of Prabu Langlangbumi, who is the elder sister of Goddess Naganingrum. He had just returned from Galuh Pakuan to deliver a letter from his mother who wanted to get a son-in-law from Tanah Pasundan. Accompanied by the teacher, Resi Tandi, Jayagiri has now reached the border of the region between the Duchy of Rajapura and Kalingga.
Jayagiri immediately reached into his pocket and took out a few pieces of silver and gave them to the owner of the food stall as wages for his meal expenses. After paying the cost of eating, Jayagiri immediately darted towards the teacher who floated above Kali Gung to cross the river.
Seeing that, the owner of the food stall immediately shook his head while saying,
"True great swordsman".
