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.

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

Ran walked closer to Shukar. Of course, Shukar was scared even though he had praised Ran for his sword skills. Shukar's legs trembled and he turned and walked slowly so as not to be caught. But suddenly Ran appeared beside him, causing Shukar to scream in fear and fall to the ground."You're a member of those bandits?" asked Ran who noticed Shukar's all-black clothes.“Please don't kill me.” Shukar put his hands together.Ran narrowed his meta and then he walked away leaving Shukar. But Shukar instead followed behind him stealthily. But of course, Ran knew he was being followed by the fifteen-year-old boy."Why did you follow me?" Ran looked back.Shukar was surprised he hid behind a tree then replied "I was just amazed at your prowess in fighting earlier."Ran walks back and ignores Shukar. But when he had walked for about ten minutes, Ran stopped."Can you not follow me?" Ran asked as he turned his head and looked at a tree where Shukar was hiding behind a tree."I don't know where
A Wandering Ronin The White Coat
Before sunrise, the snow fell, thickening all the layers of white coat that covered almost all the roofs of buildings, trees, and grass in the city of Sarmith. Shukar who felt the air getting colder woke up and threw some logs into the heater so that the fire burned bigger. He turned his head to the left and saw Ran sitting reading an old book."You do not sleep?" asked Shukar, shivering.Ran glanced then replied, "I was awake thirty minutes before you threw that lump of wood into the fire."Shukar rubbed his eyes then he walked to the bed and collapsed until he woke up when the sun was already hot. However, more and more snow fell like cotton grains deliberately sown by angels. After taking a shower and other things, they left the hotel to a market to look for information and breakfast."Hooray, let's have breakfast," said Shukar, raising his hands.They arrived at a fairly busy shop ordered two slices of bread and two glasses of hot tea and sat down at an empty table."Ahhh that's d
A Wandering Ronin Fortune Teller
Half of the crowd had already foreseen it all. Ran who had been watching curiously. He waited while a middle-aged woman was being told about her fortune. The black-hooded man asked the middle-aged woman to open his palm and put her luxury bag on the table. "Wait a minute, I'll take a look at your outline, Madam," said the man in the black hood. “Lately, my husband's business has experienced a lot of setbacks. I'm afraid of falling into poverty," the middle-aged woman was frightened. The black-hooded man looked at the middle-aged woman's right palm. Then he placed his left hand on the crystal ball and instantly a ray of plasma stuck to the tips of his fingers. "Relax, your husband's business will be fine, Mheradam. I've seen the future. Your husband's business will advance and you will be richer than now," the man in the black hood smiled. "I'm grateful. I can rest easy,” the middle-aged woman sighed.

“This stone is fake!” shouted the middle-aged woman.She twirled the stone and looked at the details of the carving. Everyone was silent watching him panicking as if he had lost a child."Madam, are you sure it's fake?" asked a surprised Ran."I know that stone very well. Look,” the middle-aged woman split the green rock with both hands."It's chocolate in it," said one man.“That's a precious stone I bought at the auction. By having it I have high prestige,” the middle-aged woman panicked even more.Unexpectedly the middle-aged woman gripped the collar of Ran's robe. She begged Ran to take the stone back from the black-hooded man.“I would give you anything if you could get the stone back,” said the middle-aged woman.Ran thought for a moment. If he wanted to be honest, he did need money for supplies to Ramil. Although he had doubts, Ran accepted the middle-aged woman's offer."Okay, I'll take the stone again as long as you don't forget the promise you just made," said Ran.“This is
