A Wandering Ronin Noise
In a fairly busy shop, Remin was sitting enjoying bitter coffee and a piece of cake. He sat casually reading the newspaper near the shop window. So seriously he read the news that was happening recently. Every now and then he took a sip of coffee and ate the cake with a spoon. Not long after, Berna came. Remin was surprised because Berna had met her during lunch time. Berna looked a bit gloomy as she sat in front of Remin."Why does your face look so gloomy?” Remin asked, folding the newspaper.“It's all right, Remin,” Berna replied."Did the meeting go well?"Berna just nodded."It's lunch time. Would you like some more,Young Master?”"I'm full. You just eat. You've been waiting for me here all day.""If I eat and you don't, it's unethical.""Then let's go home.""In that case, okay."Remin stood up and paid for his coffee and cake. After that he took Berna's bag and walked out, opened the carriage door for Berna and started driving the carriage towards the house.***One scorching h
A Wandering Ronin A Weird Technique
“Boss, they can't pay the debt. So I brought valuable collateral,” said the tall, skinny man as he lowered Ellie until she fell.His fat boss wore a neat white coat, a cigar that was always tucked to his lips, and a bald head looked intently at Ellie. But Ellie wasn't afraid. He even glared back at the boss.“Hey girl, it's not good to stare intently at someone who lends to your parents. I'm Bossman," said Bossman.Ellie didn't answer. She kept her gaze fixed on Bossman."Kid, be polite with Bossman," said the tall, skinny man.“Already let it go, Salino. She won't harm us," said Bossman."Why are poor people always troublesome?" Salino then spit out.Now Ellie was staring intently at Salino."Hey kid, don't look at me like that. You know that look of yours is disgusting.""And your behavior is just as disgusting," Ellie replied.Salino was furious. He picked up Ellie and was about to hit her."Salino!" called Bossman, “Stop it. Hitting children is a despicable act."Salino then put E
A Wandering Ronin Tears
Salino and Berna looked at each other with their respective gaze expressions. Berna's gaze was sharp. While Salino's gaze was relaxed but he remained alert. Because this is the first time Salino is fighting an opponent who uses a strange power.“Damn boy. Where did you learn that move from?” asked Salino in his heart."It doesn't matter where I learned this knowledge from," said Berna as if he knew what Salino was thinking.Salino just laughed.Meanwhile Zaru who was peeking behind the outer wall of the room could only see. But he also remained vigilant in case Bossman's men came from behind."Hey kid, I have a weapon," said Salino as he drew a sword from behind his back.The sword was small, sharp, flat, and the same length as Salino's hand. He then twirled the sword with his right hand. Salino then ran while attacking by thrusting the sword forward. Berna then put his palms together so that the floor in front of his was lifted up and formed like a wall that made Salino's sword strik
A Wandering Ronin A Deal
Berna's anger overflowed. His blood boiled when he saw Ellie being dropped by Salino. An angry, sad expression laced with tears graced his face as he ran to catch Ellie. When he caught Ellie and put her on his lap while kneeling, Berna looked at Ellie's face while crying. The pink sweater that Berna had given him was now mixed with blood.“Ellie,” said Berna.“Be…Berna…,” Ellie raised her right hand to hold Berna's cheek.Berna then grasped Ellie's right hand with her left."Ellie, hang on!"“Be… berna… I…,” Ellie didn't continue. Instead, she smiled at Berna with half-closed eyes as if resigned to what had happened to him.“I'll heal you Ellie,” Berna then put her left hand on Ellie's injured chest.Instantly his left palm emitted light. But Ellie's injuries were so severe that the healing process had to take a lot longer. What's more, Ellie kept bleeding. Ellie's right hand then held Berna's left hand which was treating the wound on her chest. She gripped Berna's left hand as best h

Behind the wall, Zaru could vaguely see someone in the dark walking closer while holding another person with both hands. When getting closer and the light from outside, Zaru's eyes suddenly bulged. Because he saw the figure was Berna who was walking closer while holding Ellie with both hands."Berna, what happen to Ellie?" asked Zaru as Berna stopped in front of him with his head down.Berna did not answer. He laid the corpse of Ellie whose chest was full of blood on the floor. Zaru immediately knelt down while crying."Elie, wake up!" said Zaru while crying.Zaru then looked at Berna and asked, “What happened?”"I'm sorry," replied Berna.Zaru stood up and grabbed Berna by the collar. He glared with an angry face and was bewildered by what had happened to Ellie."Damn it! What happened?" Berna asked once more."That tall, thin man killed Ellie.""Then where is he?""I killed him,"Zaru's eyes aren't bulging anymore. He then released his grip on her hand."I've also killed Bossman," B
A Wandering Ronin Goodbye
Berna tried to crawl into a tree. Then he leaned his back against the tree and wrapped his legs with cloth. He was sweating profusely when he had to endure the pain.“Resurrecting the dead has enormous consequences. I could have been swallowed earlier as a sacrifice," said Berna.Berna calmed herself. Because he understands when he's in a panic, he can't think straight. After feeling calmer, Berna reopened the old book and reread the taboos about alchemists. One of them, of course, is resurrecting the dead. There is a missing part of the writing. Berna then put his fingertip on the missing piece of writing. Slowly a writing appeared that made Berna's eyes not blink."To resurrect the dead, an equal exchange is needed," Berna read.Now, Berna understood that in order to resurrect Ellie, he would have to sacrifice his life. That was why both of his legs were missing because he didn't meet any of the conditions. He also said he was stupid. This is because all this time he has carried
A Wandering Ronin Bonfire
Ran started his journey to the west again. The border between Mondu Kingdom and Ramil is still a long way off. The path he walked was mostly meadows and he occasionally climbed hills. When night fell, Ran rested on the hill and spread out the cloth that made the mattress. Before going to bed, he read the old book for a while. At first, Ran did not understand what was written in the old book. Especially regarding symbols like magic. But the more he read it, Ran slowly understood. The symbols represent specific materials, elements, or substances.“It seems that this book is intended for smart people. I can memorize all of its contents. But the point of this book I'm still biased. Moreover, these confusing symbols," said Ran as he closed the book and then he fell asleep.The next morning, Ran was awakened by the sun. He hurried back walking west. Arriving at a river, Ran cleaned up and ate fruit from the rest of the supplies from Toroto village. Then he saw the desert from a distance.
A Wandering Ronin The Bandits
Morning is approaching. Ran's body had recovered after walking for three days. After he packed up his things, Ran again walked south. In his heart, he always hoped that after coming out of this forest, he would find a village or a settlement. But before he left the forest, Ran heard something. He then stopped and lowered his head while holding a cap made of woven bamboo.“Are they bandits?” Ran asked in his heart.There was the sound of feet jumping from one branch to another among the towering trees. The branches of this tree are big, so they are strong enough to make a foothold. As time went on, the sound of jumping feet became more and more clear. Not long after, shot a rather fat man with a stick from behind. But Ran noticed it. So he turned around to the right as he drew his sword and the man with the stick flew far away rolling on the ground and ended up on a mound of gravel."I don't want any trouble with you guys. So let me pass," said Ran.The bandits just laughed. Among the

Shukar is still asleep but Ran is awake and ready. He even cleaned his body by taking a bath. Although this is only a dorm room for candidates or young police officers who want to learn self-defense, the facilities are quite complete. So Ran can clean herself up before he goes back to training."I need to quickly master the shock attack power technique," Ran muttered to himself.Not long after, there was a knock on the door. After Ran opened, it was apparently an old man with a tray filled with food and drinks for breakfast."I guess Herlos," said Ran as he looked at the old man."Sorry, I was assigned by Herlos to deliver this breakfast," said the old man."Thank you," Ran accepted the breakfast.The old man then said goodbye and left. Ran brought the breakfast and put it on the small table near the bench. The smell of porridge sprinkled with pickles and sliced fruit makes it difficult to move the nose. He even raised his head when he was prone on the bed."What's this sweet smell?"

Black Hooded Man
"I have to admit your reasons are quite reasonable," said Gero.Goto laughed then he poured the ginger drink into his cup and Gero's."Let's have another drink," said Goto as he lifted the cup and took a sip.Gero also took his cup and took a sip."I still want to surpass Ran ," said Gero after taking a sip of the ginger drink."That's up to you. It's your life choice. Whatever the outcome, the risk will be borne by you," replied Goto .Gero just smiled then he got up and walked out by opening the door without permission. On the way home, Gero was intercepted by a man wearing a black hooded cape that covered his entire body. The man's face could not be seen because of the dark conditions of the night. Because he was a royal samurai, when there was a threat Gero immediately prepared to draw his sword. But the black hooded man raised his hands."Calm. I won't attack you," said the black hooded man."Who are you? Are you an intruder?” asked Gero whose right hand was already holding the h

Inauguration
Gero rushed to Goto when he heard that Ran had been promoted to the King's bodyguard. A very prestigious position and full of pride. Whoever gets this position, will not be underestimated again. Goto was not surprised in the slightest by Gero's arrival. He had already predicted that Gero would meet him."Master, why does Ran always stand out?" asked Gero.Goto who was making a clay bowl didn't answer. He put the bowls on a tray neatly then he put them in the furnace. After that he looked at Gero with a smile."Don't you stand out too?" Goto asked back."What do you mean?" Gero was confused.“Just think about it, ever since you became an eternal rival with Ran, you always stood out among your other friends. You have passed Kaju and Taka too. After graduating they both just became farmers. While you are already a royal samurai.”"But still I can't surpass Ran.""You're so focused on going beyond one person that you forget you've surpassed many."Gero then fell silent. Goto smiled broadl

The four-wheeled wagon that Gema was riding in continued to slide down the hillside. He had screamed when the wagon hit the rocks causing him to almost let go of his hand that was holding on to the side of the cart. The wagon grew louder and louder that Gema had to squint his eyes as the wind hit his face.“When do I get to the bottom?!” shouted Gema as he continued to hold on.Another ten meters or so to the bottom, Gema sighed as he shifted from descending to gently sloping. The wagon was still sliding twenty meters on the sand until Echo pulled the brake lever and the wagon came to a stop.With trembling legs Echo got off the wagon and plopped down on the sandbag."I will never again want to go down hill in a wagon!" he said, gasping for air.After his breathing returned to normal, Gema stood up and cleaned his clothes from the sand and walked towards the attack point in the northwest of Ramil city . The journey took more than an hour until the sun had turned orange and the sky was

Shock Power
In the late afternoon, Gema arrived at the attack point southwest of the city of Ramil, Gema arrived and immediately coordinated with the foreman at that place. The progress of the development process in this place is also still ongoing. It was on top of a sand dune nearly five hundred meters high. At the top there is a sloping land overgrown with various types of desert trees. Like; dates, cacti, and also spinifex grass.Echo had a bit of trouble when he had to climb this hill. The reason is, the hill which is often called Hara hill is higher than Rama hill where his family is hiding."It's better if this evidence turns into a mountain because this is the highest plateau around the Ramil city area," Gema grumbled as he continued to climb this hill.In the middle of the trip, the sandals he was wearing almost broke due to slipping. But thankfully nothing happened to his sandals. Arriving at the top, just like in the previous two attack points, the faction members were busy building a

The Flow
Having finished coordinating the attack point in the east, Gema rushed back to Bona's hideout to report. Bona smiled when he heard the report from Echo that everything went smoothly without any disturbance."Good. Everything went according to plan,” Bona nodded."But, there is one thing that bothers me," said Gema."Is there something you want to say?" ask Bona"Not words. It's just a question," said Gema."Then what is it?"“At the northwestern and northern attack points, there is always an empty space formed in a circle. Every time I ask the foreman in each of these places, they also don't know. What exactly is that? What are you going to put in that place?” Echo asked at length.Bona smiled at the question from Gema. He then chuckled because he knew that Echo would ask such a question."I knew you would ask that," said Bona."Then what is your answer?""You'll find out for yourself when our covert operation begins. Well, even though it can't be called a secret because I'm sure the

Conversation
Dessert arrived. Shukar felt full since he finished the main meal. Although he was no longer able to eat, but seeing the devil's fresh fruits in him seemed to tell him to be greedy and eat the dessert as he pleased. Shukar tried to eat two red grape seeds and his stomach felt like it was going to explode."I can't take it anymore," Shukar muttered to himself as he leaned back against the back of the chair.Meanwhile Watib continued the conversation. He was intrigued by Ran's suggestion about tightening security at night."As I said before, I agree with Ran's suggestion," Watib said while chewing an apple."Starting tonight, I will tighten security in every corner of the city," said Qarni.“Soon the alert level will become alert one. And don't look flashy so that people remain calm," Watib told Qarni."Was the public informed about this?" Qarni asked.Watib replied, "Don't. Any information regarding this, do not let it leak in the community. We must not make people panic. Our successfu

The Ace
Before sunrise, Qarni had come knocking on the hotel door. Fresa , who had just finished changing, rushed to open the door and ushered in Qarni . Ran was already ready with a brown robe and a katana tucked into his left waist under the cloak."Are you guys ready?" Qarni asked ."Of course we are ready. Only one person is still asleep,” Fresa pointed at Shukar who was still sleeping supine on the bed."How many will come along?" Ran said as he straightened his brown robe.“Looks like it's just the three of us. After I conferred with the Mayor last night, we reached an agreement not to bring too many people so as not to attract the attention of the enemy," replied Qarni .Suddenly Shukar woke up and got up from his bed. Staggering and half-closed eyes, he walked to the bathroom and opened the door. Upon entering, Shukar closes the door and it is heard that he is starting to take a bath and wash himself."I'm going to be the four of them there!" Shukar shouted from inside the bathroom.I

The Nostalgic Night
It was past midnight. But Ran stays awake. He was having a conversation with Fresa. Tells all what he has been through when he first separated. Fresa was impressed. Especially when Ran fought against Berna and Gordon. It was as if he couldn't believe that the person in front of him was the most powerful human he had ever met."You are indeed strong," said Fresa."Not. There are still many who are stronger than me. The proof is Zero. He can beat me easily," said Ran.“You mean the one who fought with you and Ran in the abandoned territory in the eastern part of Rami city?”Ran nodded then said, “Tomorrow when we go there, you will see how hard it is for me to fight Zero.”"If I assume you are strong and you were defeated by Zero, then Zero is really strong," Fresa shook his head."Hey, can we sleep in peace?" said Shukar who was curled up under the blanket and on the soft mattress.“Sorry to disturb your sleep,” Frea pressed his hands together.Shukar immediately covered his entire bod
