A Wandering Ronin The Old Man
It's almost noon. And all the people who joined the group were all ready. Especially the merchants with their caravans filled with merchandise. This group consists of many people. Ordinary citizens to rich merchants. Ardan who became the leader of this caravan group also asked everyone who came to gather. He rode around the field on his horse to alert everyone who came along. Unexpectedly Ardan also has a sword that he straps on his waist. But the sword is not a katana type like Ran's, but a rapier type.Even Ran was surprised that Ardan had a sword. Because when they first met, Ardan didn't show his sword."Everyone has to be ready. The caravan would be leaving in a few minutes. For children, pregnant women and the elderly, they are expected to take the caravan that has been specially prepared for you," said Ardan, who repeated himself while walking around the field.Not long after, a group of people wearing armor and riding horses came. Probably around twenty people. Ardan approache
A Wandering Ronin Sandy Land
Morning approaches, Shukar wakes up as the sun is starting to shine on his face. He hurriedly got up and washed his face in the swamp water. When the water slightly entered his mouth, Shukar immediately took it out again because it tasted salty. Even his eyes felt sore because saltwater had entered his eyes.“I forgot the water here is salty,” Shukar muttered as he wiped his face with the cloth.After that, he cleaned up the remains of last night's burning. Not long after, the old man came out with a piece of bread and hot tea. He sat down on a wooden bench and began to eat the bread. Shukar was silent with a wry face when it came to the old geezer who didn't say a word.“Grandpa, you never talk to anyone else do you?” asked Shukar.The old man did not answer. He continued to finish his bread and sipped his hot tea then was silent for a moment and before long he looked at Shukar."Usually people who come here are lost and want to go to the beach," replied the old man."Like I said las
A Wandering Ronin Battle In The Dark
Ardan was still trying to resuscitate the fainted middle-aged woman. He opened the middle-aged woman's veil to reveal her blonde hair. Ardan reached into his jacket pocket for a bottle of oil whose smell warmed his nose. Then he put a few drops on his fingertips and put it on the middle-aged woman's nose. It didn't take long for the middle-aged woman to wake up. Everyone was relieved again."Why me?" asked the middle-aged woman with a pale face."You are dehydrated, madam," replied Ardan."Is it dangerous?""Not as long as you rest and drink enough water," Ardan then laid the middle-aged woman back down.After laying down, Ardan got up and smiled at Ran who was standing behind him.“Someone could pass out too if they were too hot,” said Ran."That's why I brought lots of water so that we have enough to drink and cool off," Ardan replied.After lunch, the caravan group resumed their journey. Certainly not easy. Because several times Ardan had to check the condition of pregnant women. H
A Wandering Ronin Fight In To Death
The battle in the darkness continued until both sides had many casualties. But uniquely, no one died. Only wounds. Because Ardan ordered not to kill the enemy. For some reason, the enemy did the same.Ran, who entered the battlefield, defeated several members of the robbers. Then, there was one member who rode his horse down with his flat and large sword. A man with straight hair up, pointed chin, slanted eyes, proportional body. He smirked at Ran."I noticed, you seem strong enough to beat a few of my friends with one hit," he said to Ran."It was just a coincidence," Ran replied."We'll prove whether your prowess is coincidental or not," the straight-haired man drew his sword."In battle, what can you do," Ran also drew his katana."Your sword is good."“The best swords made by the best swordsmiths.”Suddenly, a member of the robber who rode a horse came over."Remo, we have orders from the chief to continue to defend," he said to the straight-haired man.“Okay,” Remo nodded then th
A Wandering Ronin I Have To Beat You
Remo raised his sword up. He then closed his eyes and then ran towards Ran while thrusting his sword. Ran held his katana and then made a circular motion forward while throwing a right foot kick. Remo held and gripped Ran's right leg with his left hand. But one second later Ran turned around again by throwing a right foot kick that hit Remo's left head. Instantly Remo fell down. Meanwhile Ran put his katana back into its sheath.As Remo stood up, he slenderly attacked Ran by slashing his sword from left to right. Ran dodged by looking down while she drew his katana which hit Remo's lower stomach. Instantly Remo immediately fell backwards. But when he stood up, only his clothes were torn. A faint metallic gleam could be seen from beneath the torn clothes. Apparently, Romi was wearing armor that was resistant to sharp object attacks.“This suit of armor is very useful,” Romi said.“Troublesome,” Ran muttered.***At the foot of the dune, Ruli gripped the scythe blade tightly with his ri
A Wandering Ronin Hurting You From The Inside
"Romi, I'm sorry," said Ruli in his heart as he closed his eyes preparing to be executed by Shukar.But when Shukar stood in front of him. He just stood still while looking at Ruli who was closed with a grimace on his face as if he was ready to be executed.“So you can continue fighting?” asked Shukar.Ruli then opens his eyes and looks at Shukar."Why? Why didn't you kill me?" Ruli asked back.“During the time I left home and left my grandmother, I did meet a lot of people. And not a few also fought with people who were much stronger than me. But I never killed them. Even though when you took out your scythe I thought this was a fight to the death, but in my heart, I couldn't possibly kill either," said Shukar."Then what do you want to do? I'm injured and can't fight against you."“All I want to do is ask if you want to continue this fight?”"I told you I was hurt.""It doesn't matter if you're hurt or not. If you believe in your goals and determination, you will keep fighting.”Rul
A Wandering Ronin In The Sky
In the sky, the stars shine brightly in the night. Anyone who sees it will feel at home for a long time staring at the twinkling starlight. Likewise with Shukar and Ruli. They sat next to each other looking up at the stars in the sky. They didn't talk much. Until they heard the cheers of the people from the direction of the battle area."Why them?" Ruli asked while occasionally feeling pain in his right shoulder."Who knows. But it seems they have already decided who the victor of this battle will be.”“If my side wins?”“I will go and follow what your side says.”“If your side wins?”"You should also do the same."Ruli nodded.***All the robbers finally gave up after seeing Romi defeated by Ran. They all raised their hands as a sign that they gave up. Ardan immediately ordered that anyone who was injured should be treated as soon as possible. Including Romi who was injured by Ran's attack. When he was about to be treated, Romi had refused because he was ashamed to have lost but inst
A Wandering Ronin Farewell
From here, the faint image of a city swayed by the optical phenomenon of the hot desert. Even Ardan who was leading in the front saw him like a puddle as he narrowed his eyes. Even though the sun was almost slipping on the western horizon, the light was still bright enough to see far ahead."Soon we will arrive at the city of Sahuri as well as the final destination of our journey!" shouted Ardan.Everyone was thankful that they had crossed the desert which was quite dangerous. Moreover, last night there was a battle that was enough to make some people cringe. Including children, pregnant women, and the elderly."Finally we have arrived, Ran," said Shukar happily."Yes. We'll be safe there," Ran smiled.“What are we going to do there other than find information about Garun?” asked Shukar.“First, we are looking for lodging. I want to take a shower and clean myself. Also, clean my clothes and robes," Ran replied."We haven't showered in two days?" Shukar looks on."Maybe two more days"

Before Practice
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

Rival
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
