True Martial Arts
Arrive in the City

Alang is now perched on the shoulders of Kala, but the look on the bird's face does not look good even though Kala has apologized many times.

Kaia was behind Kala with an irregular breath, just now running with all her might in hopes of catching up with the young man who was running so fast to return to the inn.

“Shut up.” Kaia was no longer strong, she sat leaning against the tree, not waiting for Kala's decision.

“Alright, but don't take too long.”

Kala took out a bottle of pumpkin from her interspatial ring filled with water. He took a few steps before handing it over to Kaia.

The girl did not drink a drink or two upright, she finished all the contents of the bottle. Kala was stunned when the girl returned the bottle empty.

“As a girl, your belly is too big.”

Kaia stared intently at Kala. Full of anger. However, that look turned into bitterness. While trying to smile and say, “You know? I can no longer be called a girl.”

Kala wanted to say something, but stuck in the throat, gagged by the most pathetic truths. However, a person who is not a virgin no longer deserves to be called a girl.

“No. You've always been an adorable little girl to me.” Kala smiled gently. “My uploads will never change.”

Kaia laughs. “Omong empty. I don't need your opinion, you still can't change the opinion of the world.”

“If the whole world does not accept you, I stay by your side.” Kala laughed softly as she said that, but she was not playing around with her sentence.

Kaia felt a warm feeling in her chest. Although the girl's heart was very hard and cold, but she still missed the existence of a protective figure and leader who could make her feel safe. Unknowingly, a single tear flowed down his cheek.

They rested for quite a while before continuing on the journey. According to Walageni, the distance between the city and the inn will only take one day of travel if it is on foot.

Kala tried to cut time as much as possible because now he brought a village woman who was not used to living too long in the open. It is not until the heart lets him sleep through the sky.

Their journey was very smooth despite being quiet and silent, no merchants with pedicures passed through this path. They are smart not to go through conflict areas, anyone who is weak can die here.

***

Kala and Kaia reached the city gate when the sun had fallen. By walking faster, they had slashed the time for half a day.

The city gate was guarded by many warriors with thick armor and complete weapons. Many merchants were waiting in line for the soldiers to check their wares before they could enter the city. Those who want to enter the city must also show the identity of Mandataran citizens.

Kala and Kaia are citizens of Geowedari, even Kala does not have an identity card of Geowedari citizens. He scratched his head when he realized he would get a fairly complicated problem.

The queue was quite long, but the performance of the soldiers was very fast and good. The two of them quickly faced off against the examination warriors. Kala smiled nervously while Kaia looked at him strangely.

“Give your interspatial ring and show identity card.” The soldier extended his hand.

Kala was silent while smiling awkwardly.

“Don't tell me that you guys rejected this command?” The soldier touched the hilt of his sword with a hostile look.

Kala took a long breath. “We are both citizens of Geowedari. I don't have an identity card, but I think this girl has.”

Kaia hurriedly shook her head. “My time was left at my house.”

Kala patted his eel. “Um, how about this?”

The soldier, instead of smiling widely, pulled out his sword from the scabbard. The other soldiers did the same and approached the three of them, they were completely on full alert.

Kala immediately let out an aura that showed that he was a pranor at the Prana Foundation level. They are not afraid even though Kala has threatened so. The young man also reached for Kaia's hand as the situation worsened.

“What is this?” A prince with the level of the Spirit Crystal Realm appeared and asked the other warriors.

“Captain, this person did not show an identity card and attempted to bribe.”

Pranor, who turns out to be the captain, turns her eyes to Kala and Kaia. Kala returned that gaze with a murderous aura.

“I hope tonight no bloodshed.” Kala said coldly.

“I hope so too, but it looks like the ground will remain wet with blood if you are an intruder.” The captain returned Kala's gaze.

“We are not intruders. We want to stop in this city.”

“Then, show me your identity card!”

Kala grunted angrily and threw the wooden medal Walageni gave while at the inn. The captain checked the medal before his face was drenched in cold sweat.

“This ... you are an important guest.” The captain showed respect and returned the medal, the other soldiers looked at their captain with strange gazes.

When he raised his eyebrows, he never thought that even in a dream something like this would happen. He did not even expect much that the medal would bring him into the city.

The captain looked at his soldiers and told them to make way. The captain also alluded that Kala was an important person.

Kala and Kaia easily entered the city, even escorted by the captain and his five soldiers. Kala stopped his steps and looked at them all lazily.

“I don't know what this medal means to you, but can you stop following us?”

“Sorry. The city is not very safe for important people like yourself.”

“I can protect myself.”

The captain looked doubtful while his subordinates waited for a decision. In the end he let Kala and Kaia go. That way, they become more free.

The streets of the city grew increasingly crowded as they started to go inside. It was night, but it did not dampen the spirit of commerce. The market is still open with sparkling white fire and dark colors that light up. Families go out of the house and spoil their children with snacks, or even a young couple on a date.

Kala did not like the crowd too much, but after seeing Kaia smiling widely her gaze changed. Kala invites Kaia to buy a variety of local foods sold, ranging from brown sugar candy, putu, to strange foods.

Tonight, Kaia was very happy with the snacks that were in her hands. While Kala smiled wryly, his gold kepeng was exhausted and only ten bronze coins remained. However, for her this was worthy of Kaia receiving after a tiring and boring trip.

Kala then asked a trader, he asked for directions to the Progo Inn. The merchant looked at Kala strangely.

“Do you want to stay there?”

“True.”

“Do not joke with parents .. The inn is not a place for people like you.”
