Atlas: Lightning From The Wild West
60: SOUTHERN REGION

"If not mistaken. Weather Painter is Misha's Idol." Miller.

"You really know everything about him, don't you? I was wondering how you guys got together all of a sudden." Reply Indra.

Miller simply replied with a laugh.

Despite knowing that there would be no restaurants open at that time, Miller still went to accompany Indra to find lunch. After circling around the slowly bustling City returned after the Townspeople saw the already safe situation.

"Ah, fuck. Why is everything closed? It's obviously lunchtime." Indra complained.

"It's a good thing these buildings haven't been devoured by the black hole." Reply Miller.

"This city is lucky, the Primordial Pearl that was found was a white pearl, a pearl that stored the weakest soul of Asmodeus." Indra.

"Indeed the Primordial Pearl has differences with each other?" Ask Miller.

"There, they have different colors. The Asmodeus Soul was divided into 4 and each one was sealed within the Primordial Pearl. Primordial Pearl has 4 colors. The white we just faced was the weakest soul, Blue was the stronger soul, and the latter was Purple and Black, both of which held half of Asmodeus' strength and soul." Answer Indra.

"Wait, that sounds strange, if purple and black hold each half the power of Asmodeus, then what does the white and blue pearls hold?" Ask Miller again.

Indra laughed a little.

"There are still many more strange things in this world, Miller." Answer Indra.

Shortly after, Indra finally gave up on looking for lunch. He decided to hunt alone in the forest, then cook his quarry in his Villa.

Of course Indra also invited Miller, Miller who was free to finally follow the course.

They hunt deer in the forest, they both managed to get a young deer whose meat is still tender. Indra then invited Miller to visit the Villa that Indra recently lived in, incidentally the Villa was not far from the location they were hunting. 

Just by looking at Villa Indra for a moment had made Miller amazed to see it.

Miller was still trying to look around the Villa when Indra invited him inside.

There are no other ingredients in the Indra kitchen other than dried herbs like salt, sugar, and pepper.

There are no spices or vegetables in the kitchen.

Indra then skinned the deer he had caught and took the meat he cut into pieces again.

He moved the pieces of venison he had just cut into a container and seasoned them with pepper, salt, and a little sugar. He then looked for a meat prick in his kitchen, lucky he got a meat puncture made of iron in his kitchen. All of the meat produced 30 stitches and in each stitch there were 5 pieces of meat that were quite large.

Because he felt that the spices he made were too simple, Indra wanted to change the way he cooked in hopes that the taste would change. 

Indra then used his lightning clouds to cover the still-bright sky. He then took the 30 meat skewers into the front yard and stuck the bottom of all the meat punctures to the ground. Indra then camouflaged a lightning bolt towards the flesh and with just one bolt of lightning, all the meat was perfectly cooked.

"Lunatics." Miller.

"With a seasoning as makeshift as this it will not taste good if it only uses fire." Reply Indra.

Indra then brought the meat back to the kitchen. He took the plate and put the meat on the plate.

"Since when have you owned this place?" Ask Miller.

"Since the Wyvern raid last year, I've actually only had time to visit it lately." Indra answered while eating the meat he cooked with lightning.

"Oh yeah, Miller. You and Misha are still renting a place to live, right? Why don't you just stay here? I mean. I won't stay here often. So if anyone lives here then this place won't be abandoned when I'm not in the Eastern Territories." Indra.

"Well then, just pick your room. Don't choose the lower room near the entrance, it's my room." Indra said again.

After they finished finishing their lunch, someone knocked on the front door. Indra immediately headed to the front door to see who was knocking on the door.

"Well, you can really find me." Indra.

The one who was at that door was Ignis, it was not difficult for him to trace Indra's whereabouts.

"Can I come in?" Ask Ignis.

"Do you need to ask again? Consider it your own home." Indra answered, letting her father in.

Indra took her father to the living room along with Miller.

Indra invited his father to sit down before finally sitting down.

"I'm sorry I don't have anything to go after you, dad. I just got here yesterday." Indra.

"So, what did you want to talk about?" Indra.

"Lately, the Southern Region has just learned that I have children other than Ignael and Iglea. After the news was heard in my wife's ear, she was really angry." Answer Ignis.

"Therefore, I intend to introduce you as my son officially. That's why I intend to take you to the Southern Region." Ignis.

"Why is that? Wouldn't it be better to hide my existence? I'm.." Reply Indra.

"No, you're still my son anyway. At least that's what I can do as a father even if it's too late." Ignis.

"All right, why not? I haven't had any plans lately either." Reply Indra.

"Good, I'll be waiting for you at the City gate tomorrow morning." Ignis again.

Ignis then stood up and parted with his son. Miller is confused when he sees Indra agreeing with his father, but Indra wants to have a bad relationship with his father after Avalance tells him about Ignis.

"Don't you like your father? Why would you even agree to it?" Ask Miller.

"I used to be so frightened when lightning struck in the sky, I always held my mother when I was frightened by the sound of lightning, she gently stroked my head and said 'don't be afraid, look at your father. He was never afraid of anything, be like him' After hearing my mother's words, I ventured to go out and see my father sitting quietly in the living room regardless of the lightning outside." Indra.

"Since then, I have admired my father. I knew he was the mastermind of everything from my mother's death to the destruction of the village. However, mother also always taught me that grudge will not solve the problem. Therefore, I won't hold any grudges against you no matter how hateful I am with her." Indra.

Miller remained silent.

The next day, Indra immediately woke up and locked the Villanya and left the key under the flower pot beside the porch of the house, Miller will bring his belongings during the day because that Indra left the keys of the Villanya.

Indra went to the city gate and had seen his father standing waiting for him, he immediately approached his father.

"Dad, have you been waiting a long time?" Ask Indra.

"I'm here too, let's go." Answer Ignis.

"I'm sorry I don't have formal clothes." Indra.

"There's a myriad in my castle, you can have it." Reply Ignis.
