The Story Of Jammetaria
CHAPTER 17 - Teri Class 4 Villains

They had all come out of the narrow alleys between the buildings, now the atmosphere had completely changed. The sunlight began to look and the stench of garbage no longer smelled. They all kept on walking herding the five bound criminals. Hendry and Audrey threatened them with a Sword and a wand right around their neck, holding a rope to herd them.

There was no hope of escaping anymore. The five of them had already resigned completely and could only wait for the punishment that would befall them, whether it was temporary forced labor, life-long forced labor or execution.

Since the Guard Soldier outpost was near the main entrance gate of the city, they had to escort these criminals through the main streets of the city. Initially ordinary, but gradually more and more people gathered, they were curious about the group of people tied up and herded. Shortly after realizing who was tied up and herded, the rumors spread quickly.

In an instant the citizens of this city gathered by the roadside leading to the Guard Soldier outpost. Whether it was a child, adventurer, poor person, merchant, and even a rich or noble person. They rushed down to the streets to watch the group of adventurer parties that had managed to solve the problems that existed in this city for so many years.

Hendry, Audrey, Eliana, Rio, and Anna continued walking in the crowd, herding the five criminals. Audrey and Hendry lead the villain in front while Eliana leads Rio and Anna behind.

The atmosphere was getting lively, the citizens who saw more and more happy. Most of them gave scorn to the five criminals, many of them yelling “The Rats have been caught!!!” , also not a few of them who gave praise to the three adventurers who managed to catch this criminal, even without the slightest serious injury.

Hendry is getting proud, Audrey is a little uncomfortable, while Eliana feels awkward for wearing clothes that she does not normally use. Hendry was more happy and could not help but smile because his step to become a Royal Knight was getting closer, even though it was actually only 1 step.

Soon they arrived at the Guard Soldiers' post. The two guards in armor approached and replaced them taking care of the criminals who were captured. The five criminals were taken away and may soon be put on trial. Now that their task was done, it was only to receive a reward for what they had done.

They were all welcome to enter, and were asked to explain the details while waiting for the gift to be prepared. The explanation includes at length as well as height, ranging from the initial plan to how the five criminals could be caught. Because of the dizzying explanation, Anna began to sleep and fell asleep on her brother's lap.

Some time after the explanation is completed and it feels enough, the gift is ready. One of the Guard Soldiers gave it to them. A paper roll, a letter, and also a bag of money that is not known nominal. After everything was done, they all left the Guard Soldier's post, and one of them once again thanked the three of them.

It was time for Hendry, Audrey, and Eliana to part ways with Rio and Anna. Before parting ways, Eliana gives Rio and Anna a bag of money, which seems to be a little plus their own personal money.

“Sorry but I can't take it..”.

“Why ??” Ask three.

“We've been very grateful for what you've been doing all day, but sorry we can't accept it..”.

“That's the result of your hard work, I'm so grateful to see my sister back. I don't want to trouble you guys more than this.”.

“What's wrong.. Just consider this a request from us, use this money to continue protecting your sister..”.

“Ta.. but..” Rio tried to dodge.

“Have received it, after all we have got 2 other gifts and also...our main purpose is not actually money, but what is in this letter.”.

Rio received the bag of money from Eliana's hand, his tears could not stop flowing because only this time he held this much money.

“Thank you, thank you, thank you very much brother,... I'll take it. I promise I will use this money as well as possible.” Her tears kept flowing, but her face was smiling happily, she tried to wipe away the tears with her hands.

“One day... I want to be a great adventurer like the three of you, and I.. will protect my sister no matter what..”.

Eliana nodded and smiled, before long the three of them left, leaving Rio with her sister, looking as the backs of the three people moved away. Rio was still a little crying, but now his sister was cheerful again, unlike earlier who tended to be silent. His sister once again thanked them as well as goodbye to them before being really far away.

“Thank you big brothers, 2 beautiful sisters, 1 handsome sister... I hope to see you again.”.

Once again Audrey tried to open her mouth but as usual was held by Hendry's hand, while Eliana stroked her back. The three of them waved their hands as a sign of farewell and slowly disappeared from the distance.

*****

After all this was done, Rio and Anna immediately returned to her small house, but before that they both stopped by a nearby store and bought a lot of cheap bread with some of the money given earlier.

He continued traveling together until he reached a remote corner of the city, where not many tourists know this place. In this area, many wooden houses reot, the condition is very alarming, a lot of garbage scattered also the stench that is still around here. This area is commonly referred to as “Ketemukan Kumuh”, However they have lived here since childhood, so they are used to this atmosphere.

Rio and Anna continued to walk up to his house, but now the conditions are a little different, the citizens who usually rarely leave the house are now out with their rest, even some of them were engrossed in chatting and some were sweeping the courtyard. Although all those living in this region experienced poverty, they now feel a little more relieved.

Soon Rio and Anna arrive at their house but a surprising thing happens. Some residents were in their homes, Rio who was confused immediately asked their reasons and it turned out that the rumors had arrived here sooner than they thought.

The citizens asked him directly to Rio quiet the truth of the rumors, the rumors about his caught his fifth villain dubbed “Tikus Got”. Rio immediately confirmed the truth, and finally they were all rejoicing and rejoicing.

As explained earlier there are indeed many other more powerful criminals in this city, but usually they will be caught in 2-3 days, so the townspeople are not too worried. Unlike “Tikus Got”, the five of them have often been troublemaking in this region since a few years ago without ever being caught though, so most residents here are wary of getting out.

After Rio gave a little explanation about the truth of the rumors, he divided the bread he had bought into all the citizens here. Even if the residents did not gather, he still planned to distribute it from house to house.

Unlike some miserly and corrupt aristocrats, even a poor little boy and a kara who lived in this country were aware, too, that a small part of the property they have still keeps the rights of others in it.

All the residents here are grateful and relieved to hear the news, they all can get out of the house without fear and then work together to clean this area, at least until there's no trash on the streets. So that later tonight they can all eat and gather while listening to the story of Rio about the capture of the five criminals.
