Chapter 5: [Arc – Golden Rage] Chapter 4 – New friends and challenges from the bad boy boss

15.00 P.M
 
We have arrived at the playground which is located near Segoro village, this park is really wide and has various kinds of playgrounds, swings, seesaw, and others.
 
In this playground there are children my age who are having fun, they are laughing, smiling and chatting. My heart feels good when I see the children are happy, I really appreciate Satrio because he defends the happiness of his friends from bullies.
 
There are trash cans in this playground, so the park is always clean.  However, this playground is not overgrown with grass and that bothers me a lot, because my feet get dirty when I step on the ground, but this is my own fault for not wearing sandals.
 
"Oi, Satrio!" A boy with black hair and brown skin called from a distance, he was running with two beautiful girls.
 
The boy was wearing a black t-shirt and brown shorts. Meanwhile, the two young girls running with him were wearing yellow and blue dresses, they both looked elegant and charming. When the boy and the two girls saw me, they were both surprised, they watched me from head to toe. To be honest, their actions irritated me, but I wanted to have a lot of friends, so I shouldn't be bad to them.
 
“Oi, oi, oi, oi, what kind of creature are you, huh? Your hair is gold, oh no, your eyes are blue as the sky, yo, are you a doll, huh?” The boy spoke quickly, but rhythmically, so he seemed to be singing, his body and hands swaying to the melody.
 
“I am human, just like you, my hair and eyes have been like this since birth.”
 
“Wow, ahak-ahak joss, I got it!” The boy gave a thumbs up with a big smile.
 
“Uh....” I feel this child has a mental disorder, he is always excited and cheerful. However, he radiated positive energy, I was a little comforted by her odd behavior.
 

“Oh no! I forgot to dance the Holi-Holi dance today!” cried the boy.
 
The boy dances in front of me, the dance is very strange, he twists his body, jumps, shakes his head quickly, tilts his body, and claps. For the sake of the lord of the universe, the boy’s dance scared me, his movements really gave me goosebumps, I hid behind Satrio because I didn’t want to see him dance.
 
“Stop Rikko, you scared this golden-haired girl,” said Satrio.
 
The boy named Rikko immediately stopped dancing and he looked confused, “Whew, wew, don’t look if you’re scared....” Then he continued dancing without paying attention to me.
 
“Stop it, you idiot!” The girl in the yellow dress hit Rikko’s head with all her might and fell.
 
“Yo, relax Devi—oh no, my head hurts!” Rikko rolled on the ground and screamed in pain.
 
The girl named Devi, has short brown hair, wavy hair style, she is fair skin, and has black eyes that sparkle, as if there are gems in her eyes.
 
Devi glanced at Satrio, then asked, “Where did you get this golden haired girl? Could you kidnap her?”
 
Satrio denied the accusation with a straight face, “I didn’t kidnap her. She wanted to go to this playground, I just took her.”
 
“Oh I see. By the way, what’s your name golden haired girl?” Devi looks at me with a sweet smile.
 
“My name is Ristia Hukate ilis. Your name is Devi right? Hehehe.” I smiled too.
 
“That’s right, I’m Deviana. The dancer is Rikko Rimmo. Then the girl in the blue dress named Lira Lomiha.”
 
“N-Nice to meet you.” Lira is a shy child, she likes to throw away glances when stared at by strangers, and glances back when the person is not looking at her anymore. In addition, Lira always plays with her fingers when she is embarrassed, and she is no less charming than Devi, her hair is long black, her eyes are brown, her nose is sharp, she has white skin and her lips are very seductive.
 
“Nice to meet you, too.” I waved at Lira, her reaction was adorable, she looked left and right, fiddled with her fingers, and tried to avoid eye contact with me.
 
....
 
I played bekel ball with my new friends. This game requires players to bounce the ball up and can only bounce once. When the ball is not in hand, all bekel seeds are scattered, then the ball is caught again.
 
Bekel ball game looks easy, but I actually have a hard time picking up bekel seeds when the ball is in a bounce. My hands often touch other bekel seeds, my ball always bounces more than once, I keep losing my turn.
 
Devi won the bekel ball game, she was so good at catching the ball and picking up bekel seeds.  I lost badly.
 
After playing bekel ball, we played a game called Engklek.
 
Engklek is played by jumping using one foot on the boxes that have been made, for boxes made next to each other, players are allowed to put their feet on both boxes simultaneously. Each player has a stone that is used as a throwing tool.
 
I won this Engklek game, I am an expert in maintaining body balance, my aim is also very accurate, my stone always falls in the box I want and makes it difficult for the opponent to jump. The toughest opponent in the engklek game is Satrio, his aim is not to be underestimated, but he lost because he was hit by my trap.
 
After I finished playing ecklek, I tried out some of the amusement arenas, swinging on the swings, and playing seesaw with Lira. The excitement of playing in the playground made me laugh happily.
 
Today is my best day, I am very happy to be in direct contact with the outside world and play with new friends. All of this thanks to Satrio who was willing to guide me to the playground, if he didn’t want to, maybe I would never be able to feel the excitement of playing in the playground.
 
....
 
My eyes found Satrio sitting alone on a park bench, he looked at the Reliquia tower with a languid look. I approached him and planned to sit beside him. Satrio noticed my presence, he gave me space so I could sit.
 
“Thanks for bringing me here, Tio,” I said, holding my stomach with my left hand.
 
Satrio sighed, then said, “You’re welcome.”
 
“Hmmm. Tio, if I may ask, where is your house?”
 
“House? I don’t have a house. I live in an orphanage with Rikko, Devi, and Lira.”
 
“Eh? Orphanage? That means your parents are dead.” Turns out my friends don’t have parents, I feel guilty for offending their parents.
 
“All the children in this park have no parents, they live in an orphanage too. This playground is made so that we are not consumed by longing and sadness.”
 
“....” I was silent. The children in this garden want to always be with their parents, meanwhile I still have a mother, but I disobeyed her words and shouted at her. I realize now, I was a brazen child.
 
“Ristia, please forgive Rikko, he is just like that, he dances and sings to cheer himself up.”
 
“Uh, it’s okay.”
 
“Rikko once told me that he had contemplated suicide because his mother died, but he stopped it after listening to music played by a group of street musicians. At that time he was dancing, crying in front of the musicians. Then the Holi-Holi dance is the will of Rikko’s late mother, before she died she asked Rikko to dance the Holi-Holi dance every day. Holi-Holi is a traditional dance of the Acmalos tribe.”
 
It’s really bad, I thought Rikko was mentally disturbed, he did this to fight the sadness in his heart and heed his mother’s will. Damn, I really feel guilty right now.
 
“I don’t know why, I feel guilty because I’m scared to see Holi-Holi dance, I hope Rikko doesn’t get offended.”
 
“Rikko is not someone who gets offended easily. Please put away your guilt, the Holi-Holi dance is terrible.”
 
“Could it be... Satrio are you scared too?”
 
“Yeah, I was really scared. Ristia, have you ever thought, why are we both afraid of the Holi-Holi dance.”
 
“Why are we both afraid of that dance, huh? You know the answer?”
 
Satrio propped his chin, then glanced at me with a sharp glance, “Of course I know. Holi-Holi dance contains elements of purity and holiness, in other words, Holi-Holi is an exorcist dance.”
 
“So you’re saying I’m a devil? You must be joking.” I was stunned when I heard Satrio’s answer.
 
“Right, I was just kidding, don’t worry about it,” said Satrio with a straight face.
 
Satrio’s joke managed to irritate me, I wanted to punch him in the face, but I couldn’t because he was my friend, so I pinched his right arm gently. Satrio grumbled and replied to my actions, the fingers on his left hand pinched my cheek slowly.
 
....
 
Suddenly a group of thugs came, they dressed all in black and torn. They smashed the entrance gate and kicked the trash can.
 
“Oi, orphanage kids! Where is your friend named Satrio, HAH!?” Exclaimed a tall and big thug. He was bald, fair skinned, and his eyes were pitch black.
 
The bald thug was carrying an iron rod wrapped in barbed wire, the stick was covered in blood, that means the thug had hit someone with an iron rod.

The presence of the thugs scared the children in the park, but Satrio and I weren’t afraid at all, instead I wanted to get to know them and break their bones.
 
The main target of the thugs is Satrio, but my friend is injured, he must have a hard time fighting the thugs alone, that’s why I stood up and intended to chase them away.
 
Instantly Satrio grabbed my right hand to prevent me from dealing with the thugs, “No, this is none of your business, Tia.”
 
“I know, but they’re trying to destroy the happiness of the children in this park and they’re of my business. You’re being hurt, you just sit here, I promise you won’t lose to them.”
 
Satrio was silent for a moment, then he let go of my hand and let me go to the thugs.
 
I walked up to the goons. I am determined to protect the joy of the children in this playground. I don’t want their sadness to reappear. The children in this park don’t have parents to play a role in protecting them from threats, so I’ll take over that role and protect them as best I can.
 
“Why are you so quiet!? Didn’t your parents teach you how to talk!? Oh, I forgot, you guys don’t have parents, HAHAHA!” The bald thug burst out laughing, his saliva dripping from his mouth.
 
“Oi bald, you are so noisy!” I stood in front of a bald-headed thug, his body was very tall, I was only his shoulder.
 
The bald thug lowered his head and grumbled bitterly, then he looked at me with a piercing gaze, while I looked at him casually.
 
“Haa? What’s with this girl? Golden hair and blue eyes, very pretty. So, what do you want, HUH!?”
 
“I want you all to get out of here.”
 
“I won’t obey, this playground is my territory, my base used to be in this place... but it has been evicted without compensation and turned into a playground!”
 
“Just build a base elsewhere, this island is huge and there are hundreds of vacant lands, there’s no point in you guys fighting to take over this playground.”
 
“If there are hundreds of vacant lands on this island, why should this place be used as a playground?”
 
“This location is close to residential areas, if the children in this park are threatened, the residents will come to help.”
 
The bald thug spread his chest, he intimidated me and showed off his muscles “HAHAHA! We are a threat! Take a look, where are the residents you mean? They dare not come because we have beaten them.”
 
“Don’t lie, the red liquid on your iron rod doesn’t smell fishy, I know it’s not real blood, but artificial dye, logically a snotty brat like you won’t be able to win against the villagers.”
 
“TOO MUCH TALKING! You’re wasting my time, tell me quickly, where’s Satrio!?”
 
My index finger pointed to where Satrio was, “He’s sitting there.”
 
The bald thug passed me after knowing Satrio’s whereabouts, but I held his stomach with my right hand, then I pushed as hard as I could, so he was dragged back and faced me again.
 
“We’re not done talking yet.”
 
“I’m a man who doesn’t like beating beautiful girl, how about we just make a bet?”
 
“Bet?”
 
“In this bet, you have to knock me out in one hit, if you succeed, I will leave this playground, if you fail, then you must want to make love to me. If you feel you can’t take this bet, don’t stop me.”
 
“Very interesting. I accept your bet.”
 
All the children in the park were shocked, except for Satrio. The orphanage children asked me not to accept the bet, because they thought I would lose. I understand they’re worried about me, but I won’t heed the orphanage’s requests.
 
“WOOOO!!!” The thugs exclaimed happily.
 
“Boss, I want too!” Said thug A with a perverted face.
 
“I really want to have sex with that beautiful girl, Boss!” Said thug B with a perverted look.
 
“Nice boss, we’re coming too!” Said thug C with a perverted face.
 
This bald guy is really stupid, he underestimates me too much, he looks at me as a girl and thinks I’m weak.
 
The bald thug lowered his head, then offered his face to be punched, he was so relaxed by patting his cheek, it was as if he was really letting my fist land on his face.
 
“Quickly hit me—”
 
Without further ado, I punched the bald thug’s left face, my attack lacking power, but the bald thug’s face instantly shattered after receiving a soft touch from my fist.
 
The bald thug closed his eyes, then fell.
 
The orphanage children were silent after I managed to make the bald thug’s face even more ugly, while the thugs panicked seeing their boss get hurt. However, not long after, the bald thug opened his eyes and grumbled in pain, I was very surprised, as were the orphanage children.
 
“Oh no…” Rikko danced for a while, then continued speaking, “Ristia couldn’t knock that thug out in one punch!”
 
“What a terrible punch....” The bald thug spit out blood-stained drool, then spoke again, “But, I didn’t faint and I won this bet. HA HA HA!”

I clapped in celebration of the bald thug’s victory, then I asked, “What’s your name?”
 
“I’m Samuel!”
 
“Samuel, my mother once said, fighting must use the brain, not just rely on muscles. And you Samuel are really fool, you think I’ll stick to the rules in this bet, HUH!?” I grin widely.
 
“WHAT!? DAMN YOU BITCH!" The thug named Samuel raised his iron bat, he was about to hit my head, but my left hand hit his stomach hard first.
 

Samuel vomited a lot of blood from the impact of my fist. His blood spilled onto the ground and partially stained my shirt. I took a step back, turned around, then kicked Samuel in the chest, the bald thug bounced and was unconscious.
 
....
 
I approached Samuel’s men, then looked at them with a sharp gaze. The thugs backed away slowly, they were scared to see me, if it was like this, my words would be heard by them.
 
“Listen carefully, never disturb this playground again and be a useful human being. If you still act and continue to be harmful, then I will break your bones. Quickly take Samuel to the hospital, damn it!”
 
“Understood!!!” The thugs shouted simultaneously.
 
If Samuel dies, I will not be punished by my mother, because my mother once told me, if you meet a criminal seed, then make him taste death before harming and killing other people.  However, it’s a different story when I’m dragged to the law table.
 
....
 
The thugs carried the bald goons and left the playground.
 
I turned around and found the orphanage children watching me from a distance, they didn’t say a word and showed frightened faces.  Maybe they think of me as a terrible monster. Not long after, my assumption proved wrong, they suddenly cheered, then approached me with enthusiasm.
 
The orphanage children are very grateful to me, they surround me and help me clean the blood stains on my clothes.
 
Satrio came to me and suddenly he bowed in front of me. I don’t know why he was submissive like that, his behavior was very strange, but I think he was respecting me for successfully protecting the orphanage children.
 
I looked down as well and asked a question, “Satrio, what is bitch?”
 
Satrio looked at me with a flat face, then he pinched my nose with his index finger, “Bitch is a term for a woman who likes to do immoral things."
 
“WHAT!? What an asshole, I should have just killed Samuel!”
 
To be continued....
