- In a tavern
A group of people, sitting in a circle at a round table. These people have fierce looks and big bodies, their weapons, in the form of axes, swords, and other male weapons hanging from their backs.
The people seed to be celebrating sothing; they sipped their drinks to ward off the coldness caused by the weather, they ate their food like there would be no more food for them tomorrow, and they sang songs with scattered notes but strangely sounded good.
And the tavern was filled with such a sight, there was commotion everywhere and happy shouts.
However, amid the commotion, at a table that was no less noisy, soone with short black hair and the sa color eyes seed not to blend in with the crowd; the person was silent and occasionally seen taking a sip of his drink.
Unlike his other colleagues, who had large bodies and were more than two ters tall, the man, who had a slash wound over one of his eyes, had a body shorter than most of his colleagues, however, for soone who has an Asian face, that person already has above average height.
"... Boss, what's with that expression at a ti of such joy? Are you still thinking about what that brat, Halfdan, said? It's been a long ti since Ragnar died and we've been away from the Tribe for a long ti too, and they're still making a fuss about it, I know they're your students, don't mind what they say, and let's enjoy this celebration"
Said soone with long, unkempt blonde hair, after patting the shoulder of the person he called boss.
"... It's not that, Ulf, the children were pursuing their goals, and I understand why they were angry with because besides abandoning the tribe shortly after Chief Ragnar died, I also hindered their efforts to seek revenge. I am not against the revenge they seek, but in the process of achieving it, many innocent people were killed, and as their teacher, I have a responsibility to stop the evil deeds of my students"
"
*Sigh*
here we go again, you and your obsession with responsibility, boss, well, I can't complain because that's the kind of person you are, that's why I chose to follow you, Should I start a family too to learn what responsibility is?"
Said Ulf, but the mont Ulf said the word "Family," everyone at the table imdiately fell silent and looked at Ulf, realizing the mistake he had made; Ulf looked at his boss in panic.
"... It's not what I an, Boss... Forgive "
"No, it's okay, I'm fine"
Said the person, who was none other than Marzuki Hidayat, Taufik's father.
After that, for so reason, the table filled with people who had followed Marzuki the longest, fell silent for a while, but for so reason, Ulf asked Marzuki again.
"... Boss, About that, Did you find any clues?"
Hearing what Ulf said, the whole table beca angry.
*BANG!*
"... ULF, YOU BASTARD, YOU BETTER SHUT THAT MOUTH OF YOURS BEFORE I SHUT IT MYSELF!!"
Said soone sitting next to Marzuki angrily, after hitting the table.
After that shout, the atmosphere inside Tarevn, which was originally lively, suddenly beca silent.
"... It's okay, Bjorn, sit down, you're making everyone else uncomfortable"
"... BUT, BOSS, THIS MOTHER F*CKER-"
"I said, Sit down!"
"..."
Hearing Marzuki's words, Bjorn, who had the largest body of all the people in Tavern, slowly sat up with a snort.
"Boss, It's been so many years, shouldn't you just give up?"
"ULF!! DO YOU WANT TO DI-"
Bjorn said once again but was cut off again by Marzuki.
"Bjorn, it's okay"
"But, Boss, This Mother F*cker just doesn't want to close his mouth"
"I said, I'm okay, Bjorn, and what Ulf said was indeed a little true, it's been years, and I haven't found a single clue about how to return, I took you all across the ocean, following my selfish desires, getting involved in a lot of chaos and many of our brothers have fallen, maybe it's ti for to think about stopping, and accepting my fate to continue being in this era without ever finding a way ho"
Said Marzuki, which made everyone at the table silent without knowing what to say.
"... Boss, you are the strongest among us, and you have a dashing face, I am sure there are still many young won who will be interested in you, you should think about it, I can help you"
"Ahaha~ I'll consider your offer"
"Yes, you should consider it"
Said Ulf, with a smirk that he directed at Bjorn, which only made Bjorn even angrier, but he couldn't do anything with their Boss, Marzuki, here.
"... Alright...
Said Marzuki who then stood up with a glass of drink in his hand.
... I'm sorry the atmosphere turned out like this, so refill your glasses; let's spend our money here and go to our next destination. CHEERS!"
With Marzuki's words, the atmosphere in Tarevn beca lively again, seeing this, Marzuki smiled and then sat back down.
"... Nice word, Boss, but where is our next destination?" Ulf ask.
"Should we go to my holand?"
"Your holand? Sounds interesting, I'm in"
Ulf replied; seeing this, Marzuki nodded his head and then looked at everyone at the table.
"That's one, what about you guys?"
"Well, We'll go wherever you go, Boss"
"Yes, Boss, We will follow you even if we go to hell"
"... That's a bit much, but you can go there yourself if you want"
"What? I thought we were all brothers?"
"We are, but hell? What person in their right mind would go there?"
"... You guys, that was just a taphor, I didn't an it seriously"
"What? So you don't seriously think that we are all brothers in life and death?"
"It's not what I an, It- It's... F*ck! Whatever"
After that, everyone laughed again, including Marzuki.
The atmosphere was lively again, with laughter and singing; most of those who were here were followers of Marzuki, and there were only a few who were not; even so, they also mingled, and no one had a problem with it.
-----------
However, several people were not followers of Marzuki; there was soone who was accompanied by a small child and a doll with a strange shape and sitting at the end of the table; they were Taufik, Aksara, and Lembuswana.
Seeing the happy scene, Taufik stood up from his place.
"... Aksa, stay here with Lembu for a while"
Said Taufik who then imdiately walked to a table, the table where Marzuki, his father, was.
"... Hey, look, we got a pretty boy here"
Said one of the people at the table, after seeing Taufik approaching their table.
Hearing this, automatically, the others also turned to look at Taufik, including Marzuki.
"... Are you sure he's a "Boy"? Seeing how big the cape he's wearing, he might be hiding a pair of mountains behind it"
Hearing this, everyone at the table and the other people who saw this laughed out loud.
However, unlike the others, when Marzuki saw Taufik, he imdiately fell silent, he felt that Taufik's face was very familiar, but he did not rember ever seeing or eting the person in front of him.
Faced with this situation, Taufik did not care about it and continued to approach Marzuki.
"Wow, Boss, It seems what I said before was indeed not wrong, see even a man is also interested in you"
Said Ulf, which made everyone laugh. But Taufik still didn't stop and kept walking with his eyes fixed on Marzuki; seeing this, Ulf finally felt sothing was wrong, and he then stood up to try to stop Taufik.
"Hey, you better stop there before sothing bad happens"
Said Ulf who wanted to stop Taufik by touching his shoulder.
"... Get your hands off !"
"What?"
"I said, your hands! Take it off from , before I make you unable to use that hand again"
Hearing Taufik's threat, who was only as tall as his chest, Ulf tilted his head.
"... What if I don't want to?"
*Whoosh!*
Taufik then let out his killing intent, which spread throughout Tarevn.
"!!!"
Ulf, who is closest to Taufik, automatically makes him the most affected by Taufik's "Killing Intent".
"Ugh!"
With a *Tud* Ulf fell on his knee.
Seeing this, everyone drew their weapons, but Taufik seed unaffected by the sight of dozens of people holding weapons and looking at him with hostile gazes.
Taufik continued to walk forward, but suddenly, soone stood in front of him; that person was Bjorn, who was taller than Ulf. Taufik looked like a child in front of Bjorn.
"... You better stop there, Kid, I don't what grudge you have against our, Boss, but if you take one more step from there, there is only death for you"
Taufik said nothing and continued to walk forward; seeing this, Bjorn clenched his fist, which was bigger than his head, and imdiately punched Taufik.
Seeing this, everyone seed to know what Taufik's fate would be.
*Bang!*
