The exploration mission is almost here. Yu Fei began to select six maps of the area to explore to his students. But again, this map selection is done by random draw to be fair.
Yusa automatically became the leader in the group of six. Sima nominated her brother as chairman and no one refused. That was how the position of the chairman that Yusa had was formed.
Yusa took her drawing paper. Again he got the number six. When the other members saw the familiar number, they thought that the number six was really destined for them.
Yu Fei gave them map number 6. Theyopenit. It was a map in the border area between Mozu and Aksara. There is an unexplored forest in the area. The forest is too big, but they only need to explore the forest that goes into the territory of their country.
"Remember, just explore this area alone" Yu Fei pointed to the west side of the forest. "The territory of the State of Mozu. Do not go to other areas because it is the territory of the Aksara state" he warned.
They nodded obediently.
After all the disciples got their maps, Yu Fei told them to prepare their browsing equipment. And the exploration could start tomorrow if they're ready. The academy would grant them permission to leave school for a month until their exploration mission ended.
Yusa gave each person a note. It was a record of the important items they had to carry.
Gin looked at the records made by Yusa.
Note:
tent, canned food, bottle drink, rope, medicine pill, toiletries, snack, dry food, kitchen seasoning, mattress roll, protective magic tool, magic weapon, clothing
Then Yusa asked if everyone had storage space. Everyone nodded. Yusa was quite surprised. He saw Lian, although not from a large family he could obtain his own storage space. Gin is the same. So he thought that both of them were quite rich.
Gin did not have the items on that list yet. He'll buy it after school.
"We're leaving tomorrow. I will wait for you all at school" Yusa said.
After school, Gin was busy. He bought everything he needed. He promised himself that he would sleep comfortably in the middle of the forest.
Gin even put everything in his storage room, such as expensive mattresses, socks, blankets, anti-mosquito lotions, thick jackets and others. It was fortunate that his storage space was so large that he could carry quite a number of items.
"Sister" Suddenly someone pulled his shirt as he was busy picking out a tent in a shop.
Gin turned his head and he looked at a child who was looking at him with an innocent look. The boy looked younger and shorter than him.
"What's wrong?" ask Gin.
"Do you want to buy that tent?" tanyakanya.
"Yes"
The child's face immediately turned sad. "I want the tent and I've been saving up to buy it" he said, almost crying.
"You can have it. I'll buy another one" Gin responded quickly.
"But my savings aren't enough" he looked at Gin with a parched face.
"..." - ".Gin remained silent. He looked at the child with a flat expression that could not be read and said "Take it. I'll give you that tent"
The boy was shocked. "Sister really?"
"Yes"
Gin ends up buying a tent for a child he doesn't know at all.
Surprisingly, after doing so, the boy continued to tail her like a chick. Until finally Gin felt annoyed and said. "Why are you following me?"
The boy looked at her innocently. "Why can't it?" ask her with a cute voice. Even though he was a boy.
"Stop following me" said Gin ketus while giving the boy a sharp look.
The boy's eyes immediately glazed over and his cries broke. Gin freezes. Everyone who passed by looked towards them and thought that Gin bullied the boy. Gin panic.
"Hey, stop crying" Gin said quickly.
"Mom, I want mom. Mother left me" said the child, whining.
Gin wanted to run away and ignore the boy on the streets. But somehow he couldn't. Seeing the boy alone and his confession that his mother left him, makes Gin feel pity.
"Stop crying. We're gonna find your mom"
The boy stopped crying quickly. "So you want to help?" he looked at Gin expectantly.
"Horay!" The boy cheered happily and then he hugged Gin. "Thank you brother"
"So where was the last time you saw your mother?" ask Gin.
The boy tried to remember and said. "Mom left me home alone. I was very hungry and cold. I don't have a father, I just live alone with my mother. Then grandpa took me. Since then I've lived comfortably." she explained. "But Grandpa was very busy. He doesn't care where I go. That's why I went out to find my mom"
"When did your mother go?"
"When I was a kid. I was this tall." He put his hand on his waist.
Gin was trying to digest the story of this boy. But he can't. How do I find a missing person like that for so long? It could be that his mother is no longer in Mozu but moved to another country.
"In that case, I'll take you to your grandfather" Gin said.
The boy nodded quickly. "don't want. Grandpa went on a plane today and left me alone at home" she said sadly.
"You can go home" Gin said later. He was suspicious of the child in front of him. He felt that he had been deceived.
The boy lowered his head and said in a sad tone. "I don't have a home. That's grandpa's house. My grandfather had family in the house too. I don't want to bother even good uncles and aunts" he lamented. Then he looked at Gin with a pitiful expression "Sister, can I stay at your house for a while until I find mom?" said suddenly.
"..." - ".Gin scrunched his forehead. The child in front of him was really suspicious. Now Gin looked in more detail into the appearance of this child. He was dressed well and his clothes looked luxurious. He also did not see her carrying the large tent, which meant he kept the tent inside his storage room. In conclusion this kid is rich and doesn't look like a street kid at all. But why follow him?
"Aren't you going?" said. This time she wanted to cry again.
But Gin immediately said quickly. "All right"
The boy smiled happily. "Thank you brother" he said sincerely. "I'll return the favor after I find my mother" he said.
Gin took the boy to his apartment. Bimba and Muca who saw the child glanced at Gin with meaningful gazes.
"Who else is that?" think Bimba and Muca simultaneously.
"So, I'm hungry" the boy complained. Then he realized the whereabouts of Bimba and Muca. "Woah, cat and bird" she cheered happily as she chased after the two.
He immediately hugged Bimba and chewed on her. "Very fat" he said happily.
Bimba was offended and Muca laughed happily.
Since living with Gin, Bimba and Muca's work has only been eating and sleeping. That's why, the Bimba turned into a fat cat in an instant.
Gin brought him the food he had bought and said "Eat".
"Thank you brother" the boy ate voraciously.
Gin also ate next to her while watching TV.
"By the way, what's your name?" Gin just remembered that he didn't know the name of this kid.
"Lu Tu" the boy replied.
"Sister, what's your name?"
"Gin"
"Thank you, Gin. You're really nice" Lu Tu praised.
"..." - ".Gin didn't respond. But his movements became awkward due to that compliment.
Lu Tu stayed at his apartment. Gin gave a special mattress for the boy to sleep in the living room.
Before going to bed, Lu Tu took out a book from his storage room.
He started writing.
Gin Arai's,
Good and not stingy. Not a bad rich kid. Attractively.
When he finished, he returned the book and fell asleep.
