The Borders
Section 56 – Relationship of Rainer and Kashel
"Why is this place again?" Kashel looked puzzled by the place he had been to before.
"That cloaked creature? He told me why this time he's here." The wary Kashel had experienced it did not dare to approach.
Sure enough, from the Guardian's standing body appeared a huge energy which then turned into a giant dragon and met Kashel sharply.
"Yeahya!" Kashel woke up and saw Rainer sitting in front of him.
"What's wrong?" asked Rainer pretending not to know.
"I-I'm having nightmares." Kashel gave off a lot of sweat because of his dream just now.
"Uncle, how was the monster we were dealing with earlier. Has he been defeated?" kashel asked curiously seeing that everything was fine.
"If we don't beat him, maybe we won't breathe until now Kashel." Obviously Rainer, responding to Kashel's question was quite silly.
"Uncle is right." Kashel nodded then realized something.
The Guardian has disappeared there's only Rainer there. Kashel was puzzled that all his painful wounds were gone. It's just that the clothes he was wearing were torn off a sign that he was really injured before.
"Why are my wounds healed uncle?" Kashel looked puzzled that even the fatigue that should not have healed had gone all the way, and he wondered what had happened to him.
"You regenerate yourself Kashel, your wounds heal on their own."
Kashel was surprised to hear Rainer's explanation.
"Is it because dealing with the Dark Spirit constantly making me abnormal, Uncle?" Kashel with a surprised face asked for an explanation.
"Do you think this job is Kashel's normal," Rainer said, Kashel just looked at him.
Kashel knew that his work was not the work of a normal human being, although Kashel had never done any normal human work in his lifetime, as he had been trapped in the Border World to this day.

"You don't have to look like that kind of panic" Rainer told Kashel.
"I mean Uncle?" Kashel asked confusedly.
"It's not your body that regenerates itself, it's someone who channels its energy." Obviously Rainer then he stood towards the direction of the nearest spring and washed his face there.
Kashel immediately smiled happily because it was not himself who did it.
"So, did Uncle help me?" Kashel asked beside Rainer to wash his face as well.
"Do you think it was me?" Rainer asked again.
"I think yes," Kashel answered him in spirit, not caring who he had seen in his dream. But surely Kashel was the one who helped him was Rainer.
"Are you okay now?" Rainer was worried about Kashel.
"I'm fine Uncle, even my feelings are much better." Kashel explained while thinking about her feelings.
"Hmm," Rainer lit his cigarette, realizing that Kashel was indeed different in his body's response to the magic energy of The Borders.
"Prepare, we have to go home after this." Rainer patted his things.
"So it's done?" Kashel followed Rainer who was walking in front of him.
"You want to be here, especially, to eradicate the Dark Spirit of one forest." Rainer joked with Kashel.
"I don't want to, tired!" kashel complained, expressing his feelings. Still able to survive the incident last night he already felt very grateful.
"Well, let's go home, and have a good meal." Rainer invited Kashel to eat again because he had completed the mission well.
"Yeah! Eat!" Kashel excited.
The sky around the forest was brighter than ever when the sun began to rise in the eastern horizon. After the darkness disappeared, the light began to shine back on the forest that was previously ruled by a strong darkness.
When they came out of the forest gate they both met again with two guards who were standing guard in front of the forest.
"Hey you two are okay?" the two guards approached Rainer and Kashel, who were seen in tatters in clothes that looked like they had been scratched by a wild animal but no one had sustained significant injuries.
They both look healthy.
Kashel and Rainer rested at the guard post for a moment, they made Rainer and Kashel each a cup of warm tea.
"So what are you really dealing with in the middle of the forest?" ask one of the guards. Kashel was seen enjoying his warm tea regardless of Rainer talking beside him.
"Do you believe me if I say we're defeating a wild beast in this forest." Rainer explained as he lit his cigarette again casually.
"You can't believe your shirt's been torn like that." The guard spoke familiarly.
"But we were surprised that your clothes were torn, but you didn't have any injuries at all. What an invulnerable science really exists." The forest gatekeeper was curious.
"Ohuk!" Kashel was choked by the tea he drank after hearing the gatekeeper's words.
"Hey are you okay, son?" the guard was worried about Kashel.
"Hot." Kashel replied quickly.
"Slowly drink Kashel, do not rush." Tegur Rainer to Kashel.
It was amazing that people who had immune magic, thought Kashel but it was not them because Kashel had also been injured before, but miraculously when he was unconscious he lost all his wounds.
"Do you believe in magic?" Rainer started talking, he made no secret about magic at all on the two people. Both nod.
"We believe, because out there there are people who live differently from other people, have advantages than ordinary people" said the guard with a slightly thin body.
"For example, you two, you might be one of those witches, hahahaha." The other guard with a slightly contained body instead spoke half seriously.
"I feel that ever since you came out of the Forbidden Forest, this forest is like losing its terrible mystical air." The skinny guard gazed towards the forest, the forest looking brighter than usual.
After that they went silent without speaking anything more.

"We're both saying retreat first" Rainer courteously left the post.
"Thank you for the warm tea." Kashel thanked them for the banquet.
"It's okay, it's our duty to entertain guests who come well."
"Oh yeah, I wonder if you two are father and son, though they don't look alike." One of the guards was guessing.
"Ah it's –" Kashel's words were interrupted.
"He's my nephew." Rainer smiled as he held onto Kashel's familiar head.
Kashel looked at him moved, no one had ever considered him family before.
"Yes!" Kashel nodded, confirming Rainer's words.
"Well then we both go home first, let's Kashel still have many other tasks later." Take Rainer. Kashel waved his hand at the two gatekeepers.
"Eh?! No holidays." Kashel protests following Rainer.
"We are not employees of Kashel's office, but field employees. So Kashel when we go on adventures like this we also enjoy the place we go." Obviously Rainer and Kashel took it well.
"Then Uncle why not work in the office alone, will be more relaxed?" ask Kashel.
"I want to enjoy this life by relaxing while carrying out my duties as a Border Guard Knight." Answer Rainer.
"If you're told to choose what kind of job you want Kashel, a field job or an office job?" ask Rainer curiously.
"I love Uncle's office work, even though I enjoy working with Uncle in the field." Kashel replied with what he thought.
"Hopefully your wish is fulfilled" Rainer smiled kindly and Kashel nodded with a smile.
