Who Am I?
Special chapter 3.3

Special chapter 3

'flash back 3'

As I recall, Lepamala was said to be a crowded village. But I didn't think the village was Pagari by a stone wall. There was even a guard in front of the entrance. It was they who ascertained whether someone was worthy of entering the village or not.

Me and Lea are just like normal people. No horse or carriage. Yet we have swords at the waist, the clothes we wear are still our clothes from the demon world. When the guard saw us, he said with a big smile. "Ah, Master and Miss swordsman, please come in."

"But remember Mr. Swordsman, once you look to make a big deal the Village Chief can get you out later." One of the gatekeepers was kind enough to remind us.

Lea and I nodded together after saying thank you. "I'm so happy. Our short trip this time was quite pleasant Rein."

Lea said as she hugged my left arm. "If you're happy, I'm happy too."

Hearing my words, Lea simply gave a smile. "You know? Sometimes I like the attention side of you."

Ahhhhh! My heart! Lea said she likes me! Mother! I'll bring you a son-in-law!

Okay, even though my heart was screaming indistinctly because it was happy, I still had to maintain the calm and dignified expression of a prince. "How about we go to the big station that people mention?"

Lea immediately responded by nodding. "soon!"

If the small market that we have been to only contains food, then this large market contains a lot of goods that can be purchased. Clothes, jewels, fruit and vegetables, some meat, and many more that I just saw.

Leah's eyes filled with curiosity. He is the type who likes new things. But it is also not easy to get bored or leave the old thing. First we went for a walk looking at clothes. On Lea's proposal of course. He looked at the clothes of men. I'm amazed, too. Unlike the stealth clothing that can be changed in style according to our characteristics, human clothing is monotonous with one style and color. It cannot be changed unless you buy a new one.

Well, Lea seemed only interested because the piece of clothing was different from the general style of the demon race. "Rein, humans are so unique huh!"

He said with spirit. I just nod. His pleasure is happiness for me. I've been chasing him since we were teenagers, if this trip brings us closer then my hard work will be achieved. Soon I will replace Father to become King. When that happens, I want Lea to be his queen.

If that really happened, I would only have Lea. Won't take the concubine. There's only Lea, there's only Calya Bawita. Until I'm gone. "Rein, what are you daydreaming about? Let's go eat."

Hearing his call I immediately nodded. At that time I did not know that my move to a food stall would change my life in the future.

"What do you want, Mba?"

"I want what people ordered, it looks like it's delicious!" Lea said with a excited tone.

"Alright, it looks like Mas and Mba are new people coming, huh? What need is it? Looks like Mas and Mba aren't ordinary warriors." Said the waiter.

"We want-" as Lea's mood rises, she'll be honest without being strained. I immediately closed his mouth with my hand.

"We want to visit a friend." My word.

The waiter nodded and left us. "Black! I want to too!" The two cats sitting comfortably on my shoulder immediately said.

I rubbed their heads. "Yes, I will give you too."

Even if they spoke to me, they would still sound like cats in the ears of ordinary people. The two cats rubbed their heads against my head, maybe it was a thank you note or something. Shortly the message arrived. While we were eating, the waiter immediately went to see the other buyers. The restaurant is very crowded with many buyers.

I stirred up a strange ball of gray flesh. In addition there are too many green vegetables in the sauce of the food. "Once in a while being an omnivore is okay."

I heard Leah talking. He was swallowing a sheet of green leaves in the broth of his food. I followed his advice. There's nothing wrong with being an omnivore even though I'm a carnivore. The cats on my shoulders are also eating. They eat with gourmand. After I was full, Lea and I left the diner. We walked to see something else.

At that time Lea was looking at the jewelry necklace. Then me and the cats sat down to wait for him. After being satisfied to look around the necklace, Lea invited me to go to see another tavern.

"That's it! Swordsman who doesn't pay for our food Boss!"

"Catch 'em!"

"He who wears my clothes without buying!"

"Let's all catch those two warriors!"

"Rein, what do humans mean is us?" Lea asked confusedly.

I immediately pulled his hand. "We run first. I don't know what makes these people angry."

"Hurry after them!"

"Don't let them run away before paying!"

"Tell him as a pickpocket!"

"Please help us!"

"Catch those two warriors! They are pickpockets!"

With that shout, I saw there were more and more people chasing us. When Lea was fed up and wanted to slash people, I held her back. "The Queen's mother said we shouldn't kill them."

Lea broke her intentions. But he seems annoyed at me. His cheeks were bulging, his eyes were rolling, and he refused to look at me. Lea jumped up high and disappeared.

Aarrrgggh! This is my fault anyway. I was not very careful when studying human behavior. Now I understand what they mean by paying. But what now? I don't have human money. Even if I were to give it away with a stealth trick, it would immediately change to a leaf or stone shape after I left the merchant for too long.

"Stop this." He told the man behind me.

To be honest I had a guess that this man knew my identity as a demon. "Mr Aryan!"

"Yes, tell me what's wrong?" The Aryan spoke calmly. I was behind him. I had originally intended to leave, but the Aryan whispered immediately. "If Mr. Demon were to leave just like that, Miss Demon who is there would probably hate you."

Okay, the whisper made my intention to run so stalled.

"He ordered two bowls of food in my tavern, but didn't pay him Mr. Arya." The owner of the food stall immediately said.

"His wife tried the clothes I was selling but had no intention of buying at all. In addition there are so many grey hairs in the clothes he has worn." The mother from the clothing store immediately said.

Lea is considered my wife! If she were my wife.

"The necklace that the female Swordsman touched had a scratch mark and an average crack."

The Aryan sighed. His eyes occasionally glanced at me. As if he had made a decision, Si Arya immediately said while pointing at me. "So what do you want him to do?"

"Let's lose!" They said together.

"Hey, what is the compensation?" I followed Si Arya while whispering.

"Look at me." Arya whispered.

"Ah, I'm sorry about everything. Those two warriors are my younger siblings. Let me make up for your losses." Said the Aryan.

Then the three shopkeepers lined up in front of Si Arya and the Arya gave something to compensate the three shopkeepers. After getting what they wanted, the people immediately dispersed.

"What did you give them?" I asked because I was curious.

The Aryan showed me a flat piece. "What's that?"

"It's Coins, Coins are money that Humans use for transactions."

I took the thing he called a coin. "May I learn more about you?" I asked Arya again.

"Could only. Let's go to my house." I followed him to a house. Lea followed me, in the form of a demon. Maybe he was still upset because of me, so he turned into a little jungle cat and jumped on my head. He also refused to come down.

We stayed at the house of the Aryan who was named Arya Jaya Wisesa. We talked about a lot of things. I also studied the human world deeper than him. Until the full night. We must return to the demon realm immediately. If it delays any longer, I'm afraid the Queen Mother will punish me.

"I'm very grateful for many things. I want to give them to you, I'm sure you're able to take care of them. They may not be demons, but they are stronger and more reliable than ordinary cats." I let Grandpa Waluyo's two cats live with Arya.

"I will take care of them until my descendants come." Aryan.

"Your Highness Prince, we must return." If Leah calls me that, it means she's still upset with me. We have been through a lot of days.

"One more thing. In return for everything you did to help me, call my name seven times if you need my help. With all my soul and body, I'm Rajendra Lakeswara's black tiger demon will help you. That goes for your offspring when you don't need it." I said in a serious tone. There was a momentary silence. Arya just nodded slowly then said with a smile.

"All right."

Then Lea and I teleported to the stealth gate. As he was about to enter the stealth realm, Lea hit me on the head with her front paws. "What does that mean!?"

"What's wrong?" Ask slowly.

"Why did you make that stupid vow?! What if that human is using you for evil?!"

"Don't be angry, I'm sure Arya's not that bad." I said as I rubbed my head which he hit. Then we entered the demon world with Lea who snorted furiously.

"Yahanda! Why are you daydreaming?" The little black tiger licked my face. That's my son, Virendra Lakeswara.

"She only remembers the past." I said with a smile.

"What's that?! Comeing! I have to tell stories! Let's story!" A small forest cat jumped on top of my stomach. That's Janitra Lakeswara, my daughter. I have twins.

"Ara, don't jump on your father's body. He's an old tiger, his bones come loose." Lea said while laughing. He hugged our Princess Ara.

"Dad! I want to be hugged like Ara! Father must change to original form like Mother!" Virendra is the first child to sue.

"Alright, Vi should get close to Dad." I said after changing to my original form. The night passed peacefully after I reminisced about the past.
