The Story of the Brave Warrior
2: family

...Episodes 15...

...year 422>421...

Back off a year from now.

Malik..

after Raden's adventurous departure, it's my turn to look after my family.

"Malik, take care of this family I trust them to you.."

Those were the last words he said to me, Raden is a talented person, he is very strong, I envy him, sometimes I think why I can't be as strong as him.

What I am is not talented, although I envy her I do not hate her at all, I consider her as my rival.

every day I work in the fields in place of Raden's job, with my best friend Bima we work to earn money to support our family.

I always confided in the problems and burdens I experienced with the bima. Bima is my best friend, she is always there when I am in trouble.

"..."

A few months after Raden left.

as a result of Raden leaving, the people who did the problem back act, they were always overcome by Raden, but now he left.

Now it is my turn to look after all my brothers and sisters.I am indeed weaker than Raden, but I can fight.

I always managed to beat all the delinquents, even though I always went home battered and injured, but it didn't give me up, instead I want to get stronger so that the injuries I experience do not get worse.

Until that happened.

My little brother Ali cried because the letters that were sent by Raden were corrupted by

gang of bad boys, the alley was led by a man named Jack. he was the son of the village chief, I hate him so much, even the village chief as if no matter what his son did.

He was so corrupt, I hated that person so much, I wanted to teach them a lesson for making my sister cry but was forbidden by Nadia, so I had to hold back again.

...Year:422...

...One year later....

The next day I met my best friend, I told him everything about my brother and Raden's letter.

"Life is a miracle try to always find a solution and in overcoming a situation, and do not hesitate to ask for help from me next time."

"Yes, thank you.."

"...."

The next morning, I was awakened by my mother.

"Malik woke up early.."

I was lucky enough to be woken up by my mother, if the one who woke me up was big sister Vika, there I got a lot of Nagging from her.

I immediately took a shower and after that breakfast together, after I finished I immediately prepared to go to work.

not only did I do gardening, I also got a job as a shepherd and a lumberjack.

Today is a timetable to cut down trees in the forest to be used to build a new house, do not feel this place will be even bigger.

"..."

While he was busy beating the tree with an axe, the bima suddenly called out to me.

"Malik!!!."

Bima came to me, why did she come all the way here Han and to meet me.

"what?.."

"you used to ask for a gun, didn't you?."

"Weapons? sword you mean.of course I want to. but I don't need, now I have to work, then okay.."

"i found a good sword thrown away by an adventurer."

"where is it, I want to see it."

"There's my house.. You'll come okay,"

"thank you, I'll see you later."

sword yes, I have wanted to have it for a long time, If I see I will buy it from bima, but I think bima himself intends to give it to me.

The point is finish this job after that hurry to the house bima.

"..."

Not feeling that the day has entered the afternoon, I have to go home soon, but before that I will go to his house bima first.

I finally saw you at his house,

I approached the door and knocked on the door.

"Oh bro, here come in."

I was allowed to enter by the bima, when entering it felt awkward, I had visited the bima house several times, but I had never entered the house, but I had never entered it, it's the first time I'm going to go in and see a whole house of bamboo.

I was directed by the bima into a room, when I entered I was very astonished to see the items owned by him, there were many interesting objects here.

my eyes were then fixed by a horse figure made of all sorts of strange materials.

"this is all yours?."

"Yes I assembled it from the wreckage, most of the broken stuff that was thrown away."

I did not expect if the bima have a cool hobby like this, maybe if these objects are sold for sure many will buy it.

"why don't you sell it?."

"actually I want to, but I'm not sure."

"If you believe in yourself, because you are great, no one forbids you to make money?!."

Bima seems less sure, this might be natural because he himself works physically, not working in the market, if I were him maybe I would be worried too.

What needs to be considered now is to provide support.

"from tomorrow you have to sell out all this, you will get a big profit, just relax I will help you."

"Thank you, I'll try."

After Bima went to find the sword she found earlier, after getting it she showed it to me.

"Wow, can I hold it?."

"certain."

While raising this sword, it felt so amazing, I felt that I would become a warrior who would kill the demon lord someday, I swung his sword, this sword still looks good and sharp, this sword still looks good and sharp, why the adventurer threw it away was astonishing if someone threw away his precious item.

Hahaha that's cool, you can take it

"What, no-no I don't intend to have it."

"Take it, I don't need a sword, I need a knife."

"why do you want to give it to me?."

*just take it, use the sword to protect the people."

"Alright, I promise to protect the people with this sword."

"Yes, promise to use that sword to protect, if you use that sword wrongly, then I'll take it again."

without saying, I will never use this sword to harm innocent people, it will be used to help everyone.

"...."

after getting the sword given by the bima, I decided to go home because it was dark, dinner should have started at home, I rushed home and finally arrived at home.

for some reason it felt different today, putting that aside I immediately entered and opened the door of the house.

"happy 16th birthday.."

I was shocked to death because I was suddenly pronounced a birthday by my brothers and sisters and mother.

I never thought today was my 16th birthday.

I went inside the house and sat down at the dinner table.

I realized if Ali looked at me, no he was looking at the sword that was behind my back.

"what's that."

"Oh.. This is my new sword."

"May I see."

"No way, you're still a kid you can get hurt later."

As for Vika's brother who forbade ali, I also agreed not to lend this sword to Ali, it was because the pocket of this sword did not fit, it was easy to miss If not careful.

Brother Vika came up to me and asked for my sword, I thought if he would keep it. "please ya."

I think this is the reason why the bima told me about this sword and even gave it to me, apparently she was giving me my birthday gift, knowing where she was my birthday from.

I thought if Ali or the others told him.

forget it all, now enjoy all the good food made by brother and mother.

"...."

Come to think of it, today is also Raden's birthday, I wonder what Raden is doing now, since the time of the incident, the letter that Raden never existed again, he said, others worry about Raden, but I'm different, I believe he's still having fun out there forgetting his family here, or even celebrating his 16th birthday with his new friends.

I have to work harder, I want to live happily with others here, I will try my best for all of you, That's my promise...
