After hearing the news, Taufik and Gaia finished their bath and then returned to their room; after putting on their clothes, Gaia and Taufik went to the place where Lembuswana and Nāgāntaka usually rested, naly under the big tree in the middle of the Palace.
A few monts later when they arrived at the big tree, they both saw Nāgāntaka lying tired under the tree, as did Lembuswana.
"Huh? They usually are not like this when they return from their patrol, did sothing serious happen this ti?"
Said Gaia, after seeing the conditions of Lembuswana and Nāgāntaka.
"... Wait, let go check them first"
Said Taufik, who then approached them both; Taufik then touched them both.
"... They’re fine, but Many poisons accumulated in Nāgāntaka’s body"
"WHAT? Poison? Are you he’s okay?"
"Yeah~ He’s okay, His mana was slowly detoxifying the Poison, so he only needed to rest a bit"
"Hufft~ That’s good, then what about Lembu?"
"His condition is better than Nāgāntaka, maybe because of his puppet body, the Poison doesn’t affect him at all, he just used up too much of his mana"
Hearing this, Gaia breathed a sigh of relief because this was the first ti she had seen Lembuswana and Nāgāntaka in this condition in the five years they had been together, so she was a little shocked.
"... It’s good that they’re fine, but what kind of opponent did they face that they both ended up in this condition?"
"... Let’s ask them directly"
Said Taufik, who then flowed his Mana into Lembuswana’s core.
A few monts later, Lembuswana opened both of his eyes And his gaze imdiately fell on Taufik and Gaia, who were also looking at him.
"... *Sigh* It’s the first ti I was happy to see you, Kid, I’m glad that you finally woke up"
The first words that Lembuswana said after seeing Taufik conscious after being unconscious for five years.
"Hahaha~ What is that? So all of this ti, you’re not happy to see ? Is that what you an? But It’s good to see you still live, Lembu"
"Lembu, what happens to you and Nāgāntaka that you two end up in this state?"
Gaia exclaid, imdiately asking Lembuswana.
"This? There was a "little" incident when we ca back, that’s why we are in this state" Discover more content at m,v l’e|m-p| y r
"A little, huh? Care to tell what that "little" Incident is?" Taufik ask.
"It’s just... After doing patrol and wanting to co back here we...
After that, Lembuswana told Taufik and Gaia about the whole incident.
------------
"... well~ It was no mistake it was entirely your fault for being too curious"
"Yes, I agree with what Taufik said"
Taufik’s comnts after hearing the whole story of Lembuswana, which was also agreed by Gaia.
"What? How can it beco my fault? I just trying to save people, you know"
Said Lembuswana defending himself
"There is nothing wrong with your intention to save people, but when saving people you also have to choose who is worth saving or not, and hearing your story, those people have done sothing to those giant snakes and you just go in and save those people, and also since when did you beco a hero?"
Taufik said, making Lembuswana remain silent, and Gaia giggled when she heard this.
"... What’s wrong with being a hero, soone will change eventually, and so I"
"Yeah~ Yeah~ Yeah~ I know, sir Guardian"
"Pfft~ Ahahaha~"
"... Y-you two... *Sigh* forget it, I was too tired to argue with you two"
Said Lembuswana who imdiately turned his gaze to Nāgāntaka.
"... Is he fine?"
"What? Are you worried about your partner in justice?"
Taufik asked, intending to tease Lembuswana, but Lembuswana’s sincere answer slightly stunned him.
"Yes, he received a lot of poison attacks from those giant snakes, so I’m a little worried"
Hearing this, Taufik smiled faintly and then answered Lembuswana’s questions.
"He’s fine, he just needs a little rest, after that, Nāgāntaka will fully recover"
"It’s so...
Said Lembuswana while looking at Nāgāntaka, then turning his gaze back to Taufik.
... So, Do you know sothing about this Antaboga guy? He seems to Know a lot about Nāgāntaka, but Nāgāntaka seems not to know about him"
"... Antaboga... I know of a creature in mythology who has the Title "The First Of All Nagas," And Antaboga is one of the nas of that creature; he is Ananta Sesha... If he is the one you an, then he does have a relationship with Nāgāntaka, or more precisely with Garuda, because they are both mounts of a god, naly the god Vishnu from Hindu mythology"
Said Taufik, who then looked at Gaia.
"You know about him, Gaia?"
"I have never t a God nad Vishnu before, but I have heard of him, because he is the god of a religion that exists on earth, but Earth is a place where many religions are practiced, these religions developed because of influences from outside the earth, since ancient tis, there have been many beings from outside the earth who ca to earth to spread their teachings, from there, these religions were born, and Hinduism is also one of these religions"
Hearing this, Taufik imdiately fell silent, which made Lembuswana and Gaia confused.
"... What? Did I say sothing wrong?"
"No, That just surprised a bit, it’s a good thing I’m not soone who believes in God, but if the Believers heard what you just said, they might launch a Crusade against you, you know?... But God Is a Being from Another World, huh? It was a little surprising how their teachings could be so deeply rooted in the earth"
"That’s how human is, They need sothing like that so that their lives can be directed. That’s good because humans can differentiate between what is bad and what is good. As long as they don’t destroy Earth, I will let them be even if they don’t believe that I exist"
"..."
"..."
Hearing what Gaia said, Taufik and Lembuswana imdiately fell silent for a few monts before Taufik clapped his hands.
*clap!*
"... Wow~ This suddenly beca quite a deep conversation... Alright! Let’s leave Nāgāntaka here to rest and let’s go grab sothing to eat, shall we?"
"You’re right, I haven’t eaten anything since this morning because soone"
After that, Lembuswana then perched on Taufik’s shoulder, and the three of them left Nāgāntaka alone to rest under the big tree.
When they had walked far, without their knowledge, soone wearing maid clothes walked up to Nāgāntaka.
She is Mathilda, soone Taufik t before.
Seeing Nāgāntaka lying there with a ray of sunlight shining on him, Mathilda looked up, and then miraculously, the branches of the tree seed to move to block the sunlight from hitting Nāgāntaka.
After that, a smile appeared on Mathilda’s cold face, who then approached Nāgāntaka.
"I hope you get well soon... Father"
# A/N- "W- WHAT?"
After saying that, Mathilda left again.
-------------
After leaving Nāgāntaka, Taufik and Gaia went to look for sothing to eat outside, while also showing what the atmosphere was like in the Kingdom, as they had planned, but with an additional person, naly Lembuswana.
The residents were very enthusiastic when they saw Gaia, especially with the addition of Lembuswana, but when they saw Taufik, they were even more enthusiastic.
Instantly a crowd ford around the three of them, but Gaia, who had known this, had prepared several soldiers to repel the crowd.
"Are you sure this okay, Gaia? Why don’t we use disguise?"
Taufik asked Gaia while waving his hand toward the crowd around him.
"It’s ok for this ti, they should know that their king has regained consciousness and is in good health so this is good"
Gaia replied, doing the sa thing as Taufik and with a career smile.
"... In other words, She uses you as a promotion"
Lembuswana interrupted, which made Gaia imdiately look at him with a cynical look.
Seeing this, Lembuswana imdiately turned his gaze away from Gaia and also waved to the crowd.
"... But... Are you sure that we are still on Earth?"
Said Taufik while looking at the crowd around him because not all of them were "Humans."
"Is it, they are those who could not return to their world after being trapped here when I sealed this Earth from the outside. Almost all of them chose to settle here, where they can be accepted by society, because the outside world is a bit unfriendly to those who are not human"
Gaia said, and then their carriage stopped in front of a luxurious-looking restaurant.
"... Alright, This is my favorite restaurant, I guarantee the food tastes very good. Let’s co inside"
With their carriage stopped and the carriage doors open, the soldiers created a kind of human fence on both sides.
"MAKE A WAY TO HIS MAJESTY THE KING AND HER MAJESTY THE QUEEN!!"
Shouted one of the soldiers, imdiately the restaurant staff and the restaurant owner ca out to greet Taufik and Gaia.
After getting off the carriage, the restaurant owner led them to a table that had been prepared for them.
"This way, Your Majesty"
