"Ahh~ Young Master you're back"
Said The Chief of The Ba-Jou Tribe, Looking At Tokugawa Asahi, who ca to their Ruined Village, but then he was aware of the presence of two additional people who ca along with Tokugawa Asahi.
"... And they are, young master? Are they the guest you said before?"
Asked the chief, while observing Taufik and Rani.
"Yeah~ they are... let introduce you to Mr. Hidayat and Mrs. Hidayat... Mr. Hidayat, he is the person I told you about before, The Chief of Be-Jou Tribe...
"
Said Tokugawa Asahi, Looking at Taufik and Rani and then looking at the person concerned, the chief of the Ba-Jou Tribe.
"Nice to et you, Mr and Mrs. Hidayat. The q Na is Nakamoto Takeda, the Chief of the Ba-Jou Tribe. I welco you to my Village... Considering the condition of our village, we are sorry if we cannot serve you properly, but please have a seat, we cannot let our precious Guests stand all of the ti, right?"
Said Nakamoto Takeda; although he told them to Take a seat, the "Seat" Nakamoto Takeda talked about was just a piece of log, four of them, that was ford into a rectangle, and in the middle, there was a kind of mark of a bonfire, but looking at the current condition of the village, it has its own elent of "luxury", Taufik also know that, so he doesn't ask too much, and directly sitting in one of the logs with Rani on his said, and with Tokugawa Asahi and Nakamoto Takeda who sitting in the opposed direction of them.
"... Seeing that you guys ca with the young master, I won't beat around the bush and will get straight to the point; what kind of help do you want from us?"
Said Nakamoto Takeda.
The Ba-Jou Tribe was a Tribe that successfully connected with the outside world, unlike the Dayak Tribe, which encountered failure the first ti they tried to be open to the outside world, so situations like outsiders coming to the village to ask for help from them often occur, The help is mostly a request for healing or sothing similar because people who have a contract with Undine have the ability of "purify" whether it is an illness, curses, or other things that can be cured by purify.
It looks like a Godly Ability, But it has a drawback, naly that the user cannot use that power for himself.
In the Ba-Jou Tribe, only the Village Chief has the right to contract with The Ancient Spirit, different from the Da-Yak Tribe, where all mbers have the opportunity to make a contract with The Ancient earth spirit, as long as they are deed worthy by The ancient earth spirit.
So after the late Village Chief died or handed over his position to the next successor, The contract with Undine, The contract will automatically be canceled, and when a new village head is appointed, a new contract-making ceremony will be held at the sa ti as the appointnt of the new village head.
That's what Undine Gives them for Guarding her Sanctuary.
That's how it's supposed to be.
Nakamoto Takeda was a new Village chief from the Ba-Jou Tribe because the late Village chief was already too old, and could not take care of the village affairs anymore, that's why Nakamoto Takeda was appointed as a replacent, However, his position as Village Head was still not official, because the contract-making ceremony had not been carried out, this had two reasons, the first was because Undine had never appeared at all lately, and the second was that the contract that the previous village head had was still valid even though he had resigned from his position.
No matter how you look at this, there is sothing Odd about this, But they could not do anything but wait for the clone that Undine usually used to make the contract to appear, they kept waiting, until one day Undine suddenly appeared on the surface, But it was not the clone that Undine usually sent, But Undine herself appeared, Of course, Nakamoto Takeda was very happy to see Undine herself appear, he thought that with Undine's appearance sothing special would happen.
It's sothing "Special" Indeed Because, with no words, Undine Suddenly goes berserk. Fortunately, Tokugawa Asahi showed up at the Right Ti; if not, then not Only on this Island but the Whole of Japan would sink.

"Considering that you have a relationship with the young master who helped us through difficult tis, we will help as much as we can, however, you also see our current situation, so we cannot help much"
Said Nakamoto Takeda to Taufik, Though Taufik ca here with the sa purpose as the others did, to seek help from The Village Chief.
"... I'm sorry?... it seems you misunderstood sothing here, we are not here to ask for help but to "offer" So help"
Said Taufik, who tilted his head in confusion.
"... Yes? Offer a help? Not seeking so help?"
Asking Nakamoto Takeda, who felt more confused than Taufik did. Nakamoto Takeda then looked at Tokugawa Asahi; Taufik was a foreigner who could speak Japanese, so Nakamoto Takeda looked at Tokugawa Asahi to make sure that what Taufik said was not wrong because Japanese is quite difficult for foreigners, so Nakamoto Takeda thought that maybe Taufik had spelled it wrong or sothing like that.
"He didn't say sothing wrong, just heard him, Chief, his help would be of great help to you, whether it be for yourself or your village as a whole, perhaps it could even help Japan avoid the disaster that we managed to prevent, so I hope you can consider what he wants, not only as the Village Chief of the Ba-Jou Tribe but also as a Japanese citizen, I sincerely ask you"
Said Tokugawa Asahi, whom when Nakamoto Takeda heard, he felt like he was standing on a high mountain with a huge Boulder made from snow placed on his back.
If he makes one wrong move, the Boulder will fall and crush him, then continue to roll down; the Boulder will get bigger and bigger the further it rolls and will crush anything that stands in its path; that's what the feeling that Nakamoto Takeda has, right now.
A cold sweat filled his face, and he fell to the pint, wetting his clothes.
"Yes~ I'm Here to offer a HELP"
Said Taufik with a kind smile on his face.
"*Hieek!!*"
But from Nakamoto Takeda's point of view, that kind smile of Taufik was like the smile of the Demon who forced him to sign a slave contract. which was actually just his imagination and was exaggerated because of the expectations that Tokugawa Asahi had shown for him, which made the situation get worse.
"I-I-I... "
The Pressure Nakamoto Takeda felt made him unable to talk properly, which made Taufik and the others confused.
"Hey~ Asahi, what happens to him? I just want to ask a simple question: why is he... Like this?"
Said Taufik, referring to the condition that Nakamoto Takeda has right now.
"... I don't know"
Look at Nakamoto Takeda's Condition, Tokugawa Asahi also feels confused.
"Grandpa don't force yourself"
"No... I will go greet the guest myself"
"But your healt-"
"Fuck the "Healthy" I will not die if I didn't want to, Instead of , you better take care of yourself, look how old you are! and look at your peers! they are all married, and look at you, still here and keep taking care of my business; when will you find a man if you keep going like that?!"
"*sigh* Grandpa, don't be stubborn, and let Uncle Takeda handle it"
"That Useless, son? Look over there and see what state he is in right now. He probably thinking sothing stupid, right now"
Heard the commotion, Taufik and the others turned to where the source was, even Nakamoto Takeda turned his head toward the commotion.
"Father?... Father, why are you out here? You just should rest in your room"
Said Nakamoto Takeda. Quickly stood up and then ca to his Father's side, who was the previous chief of the tribe, Nakamoto Tetsgu.
"Yuna, how can you let Your Grandpa, go outside like this, yo-"
*Plak!!*
"*Ouch!* What is that for, Father?"
Said Nakamoto Takeda, rubbing his head which was getting hit by his father using his crane.
"Why do you behave at my Granddaughter like that? Do you want to die, huh?"
"But-"
"No, but, Take to the Guest, right now, let talk to them"
"Y-yes, Father"
Nakamoto Takeda then took his father's hands and then supported him to walk toward Taufik and the others who were confused by this rapid change in the situation.
"Mr and Mrs. Hidayat, This is my Father, Nakamoto Tetsgu, and my Nephew, Nakamoto Yuna"
"... Alright... *ukhum* my Na is Taufik D'Archy Hidayat, Nice to et you... Ahh~ And the beautiful lady here is my Wife... Maharani"
"Ummu~ Is Nice to et you too, You are still so young but already married, not like a certain soone I know...
Said Nakamoto Tetsgu, eyeing Nakamoto Yuna who was sitting on his side.
... I'm sorry, Mr. Hidayat, but can you repeat what you said to my foolish son before?"
"... Yeah~ I don't mind"
....
