“I want to ask you something, Mega,” said Joko.
“Tanyalah,” said Mega Kencani while smiling sweetly to Joko who only she could see her red lips. Then he said, “Ah, your red lips just make me deg degan.”
However, Joko does not care about Mega's last words that are intended only for him.
“So you mentioned the name of the Handheld Demon Soul. Are you really his student?” ask Joko.
“True,” replied Mega Dating directly. “Do you know my teacher?”
“No, just the name. I got a task from my teacher to deliver an heirloom belonging to your teacher,” said Joko.
“If so, leave it to me. Later I will convey to my teacher,” said Mega Kencani as she asked Joko.
“Can't, because that thing I have to convey directly to your teacher. I hope you will take me to your teacher's residence.”
“Oh of course I will take you. I owe you my life. Never mind taking you to the residence of Master, my body soul will I surrender if you like,” said Mega Kateani while laughing.
“Thank you,” said Joko.
“Let's go to my teacher's residence!” invite Mega Kate and then walk away first.
Joko Calmly followed, but kept her distance. They run side by side, but are less pleasing to the eye, being separated a bit like that. Mega Kencani sometimes joked by jumping near Joko, making Joko jump away as well. The girl only laughed loudly seeing Joko's reaction if approached.
“If you continue to tease me like that, let me try myself to find your teacher's residence,” said Joko rather annoyed.
“Good, I won't tease you like that,” said Mega Dating. “May I know, what heirloom did your teacher leave you for my teacher?”
“A keris named Pusaka Serap Sakti. However, the weapon is very dangerous if it falls into the hands of bad people,” replied Joko.
“That means the weapon is really great. Who's your teacher, Joko?” tanya Mega Dating.
“Ki Ageng Kunsa Pari.”
“Oh, that white flow magic figure. Well, I was lucky to meet his student who was also amazing. Incredible looks,” said Mega Kencani while laughing happily by herself.
Suddenly Joko Calm turned around. His right arm snapped. From the palm of his right hand shot a red blade-shaped beam that directly hit a round blue light that led to the back of Mega Dating.
Blaars!
The explosion of light occurred whose power made Joko lined up three acts and also made Mega Kencani driven by action. Meanwhile, there was the sound of a large object falling behind the thickets which were quite high. Joko immediately jumped towards the bush to see who was there.
Whuss!
A series of strong winds actually came attacking from behind the thickets while Joko was still in the air. Joko's body was blown far back.
Bdark!
Joko's back, lined with an heirloom vest, violently hit the trunk of a tree and fell thumping on the earth.
“Get out of you, Satan!” shouts Mega Date to the man behind the wild bush.
“I need your life, Mega Dating!” one voice from behind the wild bush.
A moment later, the wild bush was scattered by the exit of a half-century-old man. His face was full of pockmarks, making him look creepy. Her clothes were only red pants and the same colored cloth that was slung across her shoulders. Uniquely, the two legs are large that are not sandal shaped like the legs of a giant frog and green.
“Maybe he who is named Devil Frog Leg,” batin Joko who is already upright standing without the slightest injury.
“True to my guess, you were also hired by Demang Rubagaya, Frog's Foot. You are as stupid as Grandma Dwarf Raga who wants to be used by the Demang,” said Mega Kencani.
“Dumb Frog's Devil!” maki Mega Dating. “If you kill me, then you will not know what great danger threatens you!”
“What great danger do you know against me?” asked the Devil Frog Legs began to be affected, his gaze cynical to the beautiful girl who was standing ten steps ahead of him.
“If it's not wrong, you have a secret weapon called the Heart Freeze Needle?” tanya Mega Kecani began to play her politics.
Gagged a pair of Frog Feet Demon eyes at the question.
“True,” replied Devil Frog Legs.
“Please let me tell you as my effort not to die quickly in your hands and in the hands of Grandma Dwarf Raga. Listen carefully. To get rid of the people who could threaten him, Demang Rubagaya used you to kill me, because I know the secret of evil. If I stay alive, his scheming will probably be revealed. And unfortunately again, that cunning plan is very much related to you guys. You are the real target of Demang,” said Mega Kencani.
“I can't believe!” jolt Devil Frog Legs.
“You may not believe it, but the truth is I know that Demang Rubagaya is after your Frozen Heart Needle. Surely you won't give Demang your secret weapon for nothing? Therefore, there is no other way for Demang to get it, except by killing you.”
“Kill me? Insolent big!” curse Devil Frog Legs. But then he still hesitated. “But, what does Demang want my secret needle for? Isn't his magic enough?”
“Demang intends to create a great weapon. For that, he needs a Heart Gerogot Pill belonging to Grandma Dwarf Raga and your Heart Frozen Needle. He also needs some heirloom weapons belonging to several other powerful people,” explained Mega Kencani.
“You lied!” blame the Devil Frog Legs.
“Truly old fool!” maki Mega Dating is slow. Then he said again, “If you only want to kill me because I know that Demang killed his own wife, why hire you? Simply the assigned Demang Cat Swordsman. If you kill me right now, it's like you're salting the sea. But remember, I was accompanied by my wonderful lover.”
With a small smile, Mega Kencani glanced at Joko Tenang who just silently listened to the girl's oral play.
“Good, good, good. But remember, if you're lying, there's no chance of escaping your life again!” threaten Devil Frog Feet.
“I wait!” said Mega Kencani while smiling cynically.
With a doubtful thought, the Devil Foot Frog stepped away leaving Mega Dating. However, when walking in front of Joko Calm, the old man stopped for a moment while looking at Joko's figure from underfoot to the top of his caping.
“You can too, young man,” says Devil Feet Frog praising.
Joko Calm just smiled at the Devil Frog Legs which then vanished just like that. In the eyes of Mega Kencani, the Frog Foot Devil indeed vanished just like that, but not for Joko's eyes. Joko could see the figure of the old man darting east.
“Come!” bring Mega to Date.
“You lied to him again?” ask Joko to the girl.
Mega Kencani simply replied with her laugh.
“After handing over the heirloom to my teacher, where are you going?” tanya Mega Dating.
“I will go looking for my friends who used to fall into the abyss and travel to establish the truth on earth,” replied Joko.
“Wow, how noble your ideals, Joko. You make me like you more,” said Mega Kencani while laughing again. “But, regarding your friends, are they still alive when they fall into the abyss?”
“Sakti saved them, but I don't know who,” replied Joko.
“I'm hungry. Before we go to my teacher's cottage, we stop by the shop behind this hill,” said Mega Kencani.
“If you're telling a fake story, how did you know Grandma Dwarf had a Heart Gerogot Pill and Devil's Foot Frog had a Heart Freeze Needle?” ask Joko.
“I have often dealt with black flow magic figures like those two old men. So you don't need to be surprised if I know a lot about what they have.” (BH)
