True Martial Arts
Food That is Very Expensive

"All right, I get it." Maheswari took back the pill in Kala's hand and stopped his steps, Kala and Akhza stopped stepping while looking at Maheswari with astonished eyes.

Maheswari took off her mask, freeing her beautiful face. Kala looked away to another place, did not dare to look directly at the face of the angel, while maintaining his dignity as a man who was actually not much.

Maheswari said he would check on Kala for a moment. It slightly blurs the imagination of Kala who is floating freely in his daydream. Akhza nodded and agreed to wait.

Maheswari stared intently at Kala's eyes. The boy was wrong.

"Please open your mouth, for a moment, I'll examine your tongue" he said with a gaze that did not escape from Kala.

With a feeling of fear mixed in confusion, Kala opened her mouth.

"Wider yet." Maheswari secretly prepared the pill that had been taken by him. Then deliberately singe a wide smile, so that the eyes otherwise can not be captivated!

Kala opened his mouth even wider, without fear. He was hoping for something more adult!

When Kala was unprepared because he was sedated by the beauty of the heavenly angel named Kelana Maheswari, an object as small as the little tip slid quickly into his mouth. Kala spontaneously closed his mouth immediately.

A moment later after feeling an extremely terrible bitter taste burst out within his mouth, Kala realized that the little thing he was currently friends with was a medicinal pill from Maheswari!

Kala wanted to throw the pill out of his mouth quickly, but Maheswari sharply looked at him, as if saying that the pill should not be thrown away at all.

When you like to not like, chew the pill in his mouth as said by Maheswari. He cursed hard in his heart. His facial skin shriveled as a result of the overwhelming bitterness he felt.

Akhza continued to laugh and praise Maheswari's cleverness. At no time is left standing water. Maheswari stressed that it should not be done so that the efficacy of the drug is not reduced.

Maheswari gave a triumphant look over Kala. Fortunately, the road they are going through right now is quite quiet. If only the streets were crowded, then the pedestrians would give a strange look at Kala who was inching full of suffering. Akhza finally asked them to go back to walking, of course after he himself managed to control his laughter.

A few moments later they found a restaurant that was quite crowded with visitors. The height of the building is also good, if there are five floors.

The large wooden board next to the door of the shop reads Lotus Island Shop in Hanacaraka script. So radiant with a blue flame torch mixed with a white flame torch. At the front of the store there is a pond full of clear water flanked by lotuses with pink flowers budding. While the building itself has a floor level that Kala estimates more than five floors.

Kala's eyes stared at this huge tavern with great astonishment, even his mouth almost forgot to cupped. This strange world is amazing! Kala could hardly believe that he was still standing on the island of Java.

"It looks good," Akhza said casually. "We'd better eat here."

They entered the store, immediately greeted by a friendly waiter. "Welcome, Master and Lady."

Akhza replied with a nod of his head as well as a warm smile.

The walls of the room on the first floor are on average made of wood that is polished in such a way that looks shiny, except the poles are made of strong bricks. Kala was more amazed to see the shades of brown-gold from the first floor, plus the reflection of light from yellow and white candles that set the eyes. Many people were eating on this first floor if Kala looked up to the end of the room, and their clothes were very nice and tidy.

Akhza led them to move to the reception desk which was upright not too far from the entrance. They wait for a while before finally getting a turn.

The waiter behind the reception desk stared at Kala from top to bottom, unable to hide the uncomfortable expression from their faces. The appearance of Akhza and Maheswari is much different from the appearance of Kala being disheveled, so the servants think Akhza is a philanthropist who invites abandoned children on the streets to taste good food.

"Welcome, Master and Lady both. Want to order on what floor?" said one of them politely to Akhza. His welcoming sentence blatantly excluded Kala.

"Explain the price." Akhza said coldly, he could see that these two servants did not like the existence of Kala, and obviously the old man did not like people like them.

"First floor does not have to pay to get a seat. While the second floor must pay 2 pieces of silver. Third floor 10 pieces of silver. The fourth floor 1 gold piece and the fifth floor 6 gold coins. As for the sixth floor was a special room reserved for artists, it had to pay five energy stones" the maid explained in detail. "We only accept kepengs and stones that come from Java."

"Sixth floor," Akhza said directly.

"But ...." The waiter hesitated to reply, until an innkeeper came to take his place.

"Oh, so is that it?" Akhza laughed softly, before taking out six pieces of gemstones. "What about six stones?"

"Sorry, Andika. That's not—"

"Not enough?" Another stone was thrown on the table. "What about seven? Last offer before I burn this shop."

The two maids hurriedly collected the seven energy stones scattered on the table. Then they took out a piece of bamboo wood that read a random script. The two maids also apologized for their disrespectful actions, Akhza could only shake his head before continuing on towards the upper floors.

"It should be that the Javanese do not behave like that, Kala," Akhza said as he walked. "The prolonged war has forced them to do so."

Kala could only nod despite not fully understanding. What he felt, the service was friendly even though he had to give extra money. At once, Java can be far more cruel, as the fate of the ill-fated that befell his parents.

After climbing the stairs for a while, the three of them arrived at the sixth floor which was the last floor in the inn. A well-dressed female servant with a graceful look stood next to the door. Her posture was very firm and firm even though she was a woman, identifying that she was a martial artist as well.

The woman greeted them with the same greeting downstairs. Akhza handed over the pieces of bamboo given by the two maids, the woman observed the pieces for a moment before opening the door into the room.

The room turned out to be very quiet. There was only a pair of young people sitting at the corner table.

There were only a few tables, but all the tables on the sixth floor were made of shining white marble. Give the impression of luxury.

The shades of chocolate and gold are maintained and even more luxurious than on the lower floor.

Such desolate conditions proved that the martial artists in the city were not too many.

Akhza, Kala, and Maheswari sat at one of the tables close to the window.

The door reopened just moments after they sat in their respective seats, the three maids entered carrying thin boards filled with food chains. It looks like a food tray. One person was given a list of those foods very politely.

Luckily Kala has the ability to read the characters and continues to train them in his hut. But even so, there are many names of food that are foreign to Kala.

"You are free to order anything here, Kala," said Akhza softly.

Kala frowned after seeing the price list listed for each meal. If to enter the sixth floor only have to spend 5 miles of energy— in comparison, then the price of food here is very expensive!

The food that had caught his attention was the Lotus Crab Seasoning which seemed to be delicious, but he canceled his intentions. The price for one portion was equivalent to 80 energy stones!

Look again at the bottom. The Destructive Vegetable Shroud cost 220 energy stones, it was extremely expensive. Kala's eyes skimmed further down on the food board that was only one sheet, and he found that the food at the cheapest price was a 50-mile Earth Porridge.

"Sorry, but the ground slurry?" Kala asked the waiter who was still standing in his place.

"Yes. The porridge is made from dried rice field soil, then converted into powder. The ground powder was then boiled for a long time and given a pinch of salt, "the servant explained smoothly and straightforwardly, as if he had explained the food a thousand times in quantity. Who wouldn't ask about the soil?

On the basis of being unwell, Kala ordered the food. He will not care about the taste, the most important thing for him is that Akhza does not feel offended or object to his order.

Maheswari ordered the North Sea Destroyer Fish for 200 energy stones, while Akhza ordered the Destroyer Vegetable Shrub and the Lotus Seasoning Destroyer Crab with the sum of all 300 energy stones. Kala really feel dwarfed in front of them, so to sit was uncomfortable.

"Thank you for ordering, the dish will be here any minute," said one of the waiters, wanting to pass by, but held back by a voice from the corner of the room, a place where two young people sit.

"Hey! Where is our order? Why are you even serving others while my order has not come?!" sambar the man with chocolate.

The three maids turned around before replying, "Sorry for your dissatisfaction, Master and Master, please give us some more time to prepare the dish."

The servant said very carefully and made sure that every word in his speech would not offend. Artists like those two usually have a bad temper.
