Crown Prince Sanggana
Salty Ape 15: The Battle of Boiled Beans
*Pursuit of Queen Wilasin (Asin Monkey)*
The tension is created when the Cempaka fix sits opposite the table to Empress Dewi Ara. The two women stared at each other in silence.
Goddess Ara looked at the assassin in front of her with a flat gaze and calmness. While Cempaka stared intently at Goddess Ara with rainwater from her hair still dripping down her face and the floor she was sitting on. The tense condition that makes Cempaka not want to wipe his wet face, in order to maintain his image as an elite class assassin.
Meanwhile, Tikam Ginting thrust a clay glass on the front desk of Cempaka, then poured ginger wedang whose water reflected thin smoke.
Cempaka for a moment glanced at the pouring of wedang water whose aroma is so fragrant in the cold weather.
On the other hand, Queen Wilasin, Arda Handara, Anik Remas, Bagang Kala, Pyar Lantern, Setya Gogol, and others, and Bong Bong Dut gathered like a flood refugee watching from a distance a few spears the drinking scene.
The employees of the inn were no longer clustered in the doorway. They have been expelled by Niring Kuwikuwi in order to return to their respective duties.
“Diminum, Cempaka!” said Dewi Ara then first reach for the glass and sip the drink.
While still staring intently at Goddess Ara, Cempaka reached out his left hand reaching for her glass. He then drank with his left hand without even glancing at his glass.
“Preeet!”
When his tongue felt the ginger water, Cempaka was surprised and suddenly spouted a drink that he had not had time to gulp it. To the extent that the spray intends to reach the face of Goddess Ara.
However, before a single splash of spray hit his face and clothes, it was clear that the sword water had stopped quietly floating in the air.
“What's this sword? No sugar ...”
Cempaka's makian was interrupted because he was followed by shock, he saw the ginger water he sprayed stuck in the air, as if time stopped spinning.
Seeing that Goddess Ara had exerted her power, Cempaka concluded that it was time to attack.
Sing! Cprac!
“Akk!”
Upon seeing that Goddess Ara had played her magic, Cempaka's right hand moved as fast as lightning whipped out the sword on her back. Because of the rapid movement, to the point that the sword movement is difficult to see clearly.
However, before Cempaka's purplish sword got to the neck of Goddess Ara, the bright red-clothed woman's head had jolted backwards, because the ginger water floating in the air shot first hit his face and eyes.
Cempaka also screamed with eyes closed firmly, holding back pain because of the spicy ginger water. While his sword aborted continuing his mission.
“Don't dare attack in a moment when I can't see!” shouted Cempaka like a blind man while brandishing the tip of his sword in front of Goddess Ara, staying within range then Dewi Ara could be hit.
The queen remained quiet quietly. He let Cempaka get busy with his panic from suffering the pain in his eyes. Tikam Ginting was just staring, not doing an attack.
“Let's just relax, I won't kill you in a state of not seeing. You will certainly be a big shame if a high-level hitman dies too soon,” said Dewi Ara.
After enduring the pain of more than ten breaths, Cempaka tried to open her many watery eyelids. He began to see slowly. His eyelids are creeping. Until he finally saw her again. Not forgetting he wiped his eyes so as not to be like a whiny woman.
“So, what do you want next, Cempaka?” asked Dewi Ara, after seeing Cempaka can already see him again.
Dewi Ara scooped a handful of boiled beans in a small basket that started to cool. The scooped beans he just spilled on the side of his glass. He took one and then he broke the skin, then bit the nuts on the skin that is attached to it while maintaining the skin in the grip of the finger. Such is the tutorial on eating boiled beans.
“I still want to kill you. I have to swap your head for my fee,” replied Cempaka.
“You threatened me?” asked Cempaka with red eyes.
“If you die, will there still be hired assassins who will chase after Queen Wilasin?” asked Goddess Ara while continuing to eat the scattered beans in front of her.
“Definitely. There are rules within the Ten Golden Bull Killers. All members should know the duties given by the mastermind. If there is a failure in the mission, then other assassins must continue the mission and complete it,” explained Cempaka.
“So you continue the killing mission carried by the Bamboo Shooter?” ask Goddess Ara. The number of nuts is small.
“True,” Reply Cempaka.
“So you can rest easy even if you die tonight, because there are people who will continue your duties,” said Dewi Ara while breaking the last bean.
Sing! Nah!
Before the last bean seed entered the mouth of Goddess Ara, Cempaka who was already holding her sword in the right hand quickly clasped the weapon. At the same time, Dewi Ara smacked the surface of the table with her right index finger.
Nah! Cprac!
The glass jug belonging to Goddess Ara which still contains water wedang thrown coolly up to fend off the sword belonging to Cempaka. In a very short duration of time, less than one breath, several incidents occur.
When the glass broke with the splashed water, the glass pieces and all the water immediately shot to attack Cempaka.
Sis! The sreeet!
Cempaka is ready. When the flakes of glass and ginger water attacked him, his left hand quickly shook which caused a layer of yellow light to fend off the attack. After which, he quickly pushed back his body in a kneeling position of one leg with a sharp gaze and an expanding hand, like a swordsman style.
Nah! The sreeet!
Dewi Ara hit the table slowly with her index finger. The group of peanut shells previously collected by the empress, many jumped up in the air, then the power of the eyes of Goddess Ara made them dart quickly to attack Cempaka.
Before the pea skin group reached him, Cempaka quickly thrust his sword and the tip of the sword was moved around rapidly, creating a small whirlwind that held back the speed of the pea skin.
The bean skin was then carried by the sword movement and thrown back to attack Goddess Ara.
Set set set …!
No no no no …!
Boiled beans are still many in the basket, one by one suddenly darted leaving the basket and hit all the skin that was darting attacking Goddess Ara. One nut to one peanut skin that makes everything fall and scattered on the floor.
“Hiaat!” squealing Cempaka while rejecting his legs which makes his body shot almost invisible attacking Goddess Ara with a piercing sword.
Set set set …!
Tang ting ting …!
However, again before the sword reached Goddess Ara, Cempaka was forced to throw his body to the side while his sword played quickly to fend off the attacks of boiled beans that shot from his basket.
The speed of Cempaka's purple sword movement made him able to fend off all the beans that attacked him.
And when the peanut attack stopped, Cempaka immediately launched a new attack whose level is more dangerous. (BH)
