A Wandering Ronin

Sagard, is a city that is still under the reign of the Mondu Kingdom. Almost all of the buildings are made of wood. Certainly not ordinary wood. But the best wood ever in Gatara. At the gate which is also made of wood, every four o'clock in the morning, the officers open the door. Because, the door is also an economic turnaround. When we pass through the door, we will be greeted by a neatly arranged market. Want to buy anything, everything is here.On a scorching day, there was a man wearing a brown cape that covered his entire body up to half his calf, wearing a straw hat, and he could faintly see he was carrying a katana sword from under his cape. The man walked slowly through the wide open gate. He walked past the multitudes of people in and out of town. Some also use horse-drawn carriages to transport goods.Arriving in the middle of the market, the man stopped at a fruit seller. The merchant with a fat body and thick mustache in brightly colored clothes greeted him.“Welcome to S

The sky was getting dark. They arrived at the Sagard city police headquarters. Ran was immediately entertained in a large room. The dining table is also large and luxurious. Ran was invited to sit by Fersa. He then took off his cap made of woven bamboo and his robe."I want to entertain you with dinner," said Fersa."I want to go to the city library immediately," Ran replied."Be patient. After all, the library is currently closed. You can rest in one of the police recruits' rooms over there.” Fersa pointed out the window where there was a multi-storey wooden building.Ran was silent but then he sat down and put his katana on the table. Immediately, Fersa noticed Ran's katana."That sword of yours, I've never seen anything like it," Fersa pointed at Ran's katana."Besides being a swordsman, my master is also an expert at making swords."“I watched you fight Gardi from afar. It seems you master a rare sword style.”"Maybe it's because my master never taught swordsmanship to just anyone

"Sehar, what weapons do you carry?" Ran asked as they were on their way to the dark forest."I brought a knife and a bow," replied Sehar.“Are you good at using both?”"I've never used a knife. But my arrows are quite proficient because I often hunt with my father.”It didn't take long for them to arrive. Before entering Sehar had some doubts. Sweat began to flow from his forehead to his neck. And then he swallowed hard because in front of him, there were big, tall trees and a path into a dark and dangerous forest."Are you in doubt?" Ran glanced at Sehar.Sehar did not answer. He even wiped the sweat off his forehead."If you are in doubt, you better go home and let me go alone into this forest," Ran immediately stepped out."W...wait," Sehar followed Ran from behind.The deeper you go in, the darker it gets. Sehar continued to follow Ran from behind. He drew his knife and held it with both hands just in case. Meanwhile Ran just kept quiet while watching Sehar secretly.“Sehar, have

Whenever Berna is asked to shop for groceries at the village market, he is always excited. Because he is smart, when he walks to the market, Berna calculates the money given by her nanny and what groceries to buy written on a piece of paper."If I'm good at bargaining, I have leftovers to buy a book," said Berna as she walked away and looked at the list of foods to buy on a piece of paper.Arriving at the market, Berna made a bargain. Almost every groceries he bought, he bargained as low as possible. He even studied the movements and habits of the women who bid in this market. After everything was bought, Berna got the rest of the money. He immediately rushed to the bookstore and chose a book that appealed to him.The bookstore looks very old and a bit run down. Just like the owner who has entered old age. The owner smiled sweetly when Berna opened the door and saw a lot of books on display."It's rare for a child to come to an old bookstore," said the shop owner, whose skin was alrea

After dawn Berna was ready to wear a suit and tie. He also put all his clothes and belongings in the suitcase. He did not forget to bring an old book with "Ethias" written on it. Exactly eight o'clock in the morning, the sound of horse hooves was heard. Marudi and Merna were immediately greeted by Erma."You are very handsome," said Merna when she saw that Berna was already tidy."Soon you will have a new room," said Marudi."Come on please sit down. I have prepared the adoption agreement documents to be signed,” said Erma while preparing a chair. He then opened a large envelope and took out several documents.Marudi and Merna carefully read the contents of the agreement file. Then they nodded and Marudi pulled a pen from his coat pocket. He quickly signed the files."Thank you, Erma," said Marudi.Erma just nodded then she put the files back in the envelope. Then she called Berna."Now, you are part of the Rombepayung family," said Erma with a smile. Of course the smile is fake.Bern
