Chapter 4: [Arc – Golden Rage] Chapter 3 – The Outside World

"Hey, stop it!" Satrio trying to
break free, he tried to stop me.

I'm quite confused, Satrio is a boy, but
he can't hold me, when compared to Satrio's hands are much bigger than mine. I
think this is not important to discuss, I have to stop running now.

“Sorry, I got too excited. Hehehe." I
chuckled, lowering my head.

"You fell from a height, but you're
excited... why don't you break your bones?" asked Satrio, surprised.

“Don't know, it's possible that I have
plot armor,” I replied, smiling broadly.

“You are addicted to reading novels.”

"Ha ha ha ha. You are addicted to
fighting right?”

Satrio was silent for a moment, he took a
breath of fresh air, then said, “Let's continue our journey. Don't waste
time."

“Ah, well....” Turns out this boy is
really boring, he's too flat, he also doesn't have any intention of seducing me
or teasing me, but somehow he looks attractive to my eyes, especially his
hairstyle that looks like a cock's comb.

....

Satrio led the way, he was in front of me,
while I was behind him.  Our trip was
filled with awkwardness, my new friend and I didn't open our mouths at all, but
I didn't care, I'd rather enjoy the wind than find a topic of conversation.

I don't know his background, family, and
something that Satrio hates. That's why I refuse to pick the fruit of the
conversation, I'm afraid he'll be offended. Silence is the best option, maybe
Satrio is also thinking the same thing as me.

....

The wind was so cool, my hair waved
gracefully in the light breeze. I love to be able to feel the air of the
outside world, but the path I'm walking right now really disgusts me, it's so
muddy, my feet are dirty from not wearing sandals.

I am a girl who loves and upholds the
values ​​of cleanliness, but my feet have been stained with wet soil and last
night I drank murky water, it's ironic, my eyes felt like spilling water.

After crossing that disgusting road, we
climbed a plateau, this one path is not muddy, but very steep. I was very
careful when I stepped on my feet, if I stepped wrong, I might fall down.

I want to beat up people who choose this
incline as the main route.

After experiencing a lot of suffering
while climbing the incline, we managed to pass this damn path smoothly.

I saw a sign on the right side of the road,
the sign said 'If you or your colleagues fall while crossing this incline,
then immediately send a letter of protest to Mrs. Lestari to get free medical
expenses, don't hesitate, because she is the one who chose this incline as main
road.'

I was stunned when I read the writing on
the sign, so my mother herself chose this steep incline as the main road, then
I had to give up my intention, there was no way I could hit my own mother.

“Ristia, are you tired?” Satrio looked
back and looked at me coldly.

“Eh, just a little bit.”

“Want a break?”

“No need. I’m fine.” I waved my hands in
front of my chest.

“Okay.”

Satrio, a flat and indifferent man, I
thought he would lock his mouth and glance away when someone was in trouble,
but he still has a sense of caring.

I don’t know why my heart skipped a beat
when Satrio glanced at me, could I have another heart attack?  Impossible, I always take care of my health.

At the same time, Satrio was talking in
his heart too, his face is red now, he must be very tired after climbing the
incline, but I don’t want to force him to rest.

....

We have arrived at the plateau. This
location is really cold, I saw several men and women who were passing by, they
carried things on their shoulders and wore thick cloth jackets.

The people of the highlands carried piles
of rice, baskets of fish, sacks of stones, and bundles of twigs. It seems that
this plateau is the fastest route to Segoro village, they can save time when
delivering goods and basic needs to the village. Now, I know why my mother
chose the steep incline as the main trail.

“Hey, look at that girl, her hair and eyes
are really weird!” Whispered a fat woman, she was carrying a basket of rice.

“Ah, that’s right, the girl’s hair is
gold, then her eyes are blue. How could that be?” The skinny woman whispered
too, while glancing at me with a scornful glance.

“I don’t know!” replied the fat woman.

“She’s really pretty too! Whose child is
it?”

“Stupid, I said I didn’t know.”

The women were talking about me, I could
hear their whispers clearly. I just realized now, everyone around me has black
hair and black or brown eyes. Am I the only gold-haired and blue-eyed human in
this world? If that’s the case, uh, that’s terrible... I might become the
target of men looking to renew offspring. 
That’s disgusting. Instead of thinking about nothing, I’d rather just
enjoy the view.

On my left side there is a very wide
ocean, I saw several small boats in the middle of the sea, the fishermen on the
boat threw their nets into the sea, then a few minutes later the nets were
pulled back and they managed to catch a lot of fish.  Besides that, I saw large ships near the
shore, the ship was carrying a number of goods, my eyes were always on the crew
passing by on the ship’s deck, they were working with enthusiasm.

It’s amazing, it’s the first time I’ve
seen the ocean in person, completely different from the illustrations in the
book.

To my right are farms, mountains, and the
enormous Reliquia tower.

In the livestock area, I saw farmers
tending the plants in the fields, they sprinkled some kind of fertilizer or
maybe anti-pest medicine, then I found dozens of buffalo working on the rice
fields, the farmers who controlled the buffaloes seemed to whip the buffalo’s
ass to  want to walk.

Meanwhile, the scenery in the mountains is
not very interesting compared to the views of the ocean or farms, but I was
impressed by the shape of the mountain, like a sleeping fox.

I remembered an article about the sleeping
fox mountain.  According to an article I
read, once upon a time the fox mountain was a large fox statue, supposedly it
was built as extravagantly as possible to seduce a fox-demon woman, but the
statue was neglected for hundreds of years and became a mountain.  The article was written by my mother, but
some people still doubt it and prefer the sleeping fox mountain conspiracy
theory.

Then, the Reliquia tower, the most
conspicuous object in this world.  For 20
years experts have been researching Reliquia and they have succeeded in
measuring the width of the tower which reaches 300km, but unfortunately, the
maximum height of the tower is still unknown until now.

When compared to Reliquia, the fox
mountains were like mounds of earth, the oceans were like puddles of water, and
humans were like germs.  On Reliquia’s
body itself was a mysterious magic circle, the circle covered most of the tower
body and was at an altitude of 10,000 meters. 
The magic circle keeps humanity from seeing the top of the tower.

Reliquia may be terrifying and
intimidating, but this tower provides abundant and limitless natural
resources.  In the past world wars
occurred because a number of kingdoms fought over the Reliquia tower, the war
lasted for one year, without a truce and without a winner.

World wars were stopped by influential
figures through black table negotiations, my mother was one of those
figures.  The results of the negotiations
formed a new agency called Skyscraper, then each kingdom could extract natural
resources according to the quota determined by the Skyscraper Commander.

The members of the Skyscrapers themselves
are deprived of their citizenship status and submit to the Commander, their
task is to fight the monsters in the tower, find natural resource points, and
solve the mystery of the Reliquia tower.

My mother hated black because of black
table negotiations, every time she saw black she remembered the rotten faces of
greedy kings.

....

“Ristia...” Satrio stopped walking and
turned around, then he pointed towards the ocean, “look at that.”

I turned my head in the direction of
Satrio’s index finger, after looking closely, it turned out that there was a
kind of foam rising up near the fishing boats. The fishermen looked panicked,
they were scared and hurried away from the boat from the foam location.

I was both curious and confused, “What is
that froth?  Then why did the fishermen
panic so much?”

“You will have the answer in a moment.”

Suddenly a large fish appeared from the
foam point, the fish slid very high from the ocean and made a distinctive
echoing sound. I was blown away when I saw the huge creature in the air with
the seagulls.

“Wow! What kind of fish is that!?” I
couldn’t hold back the explosion of amazement inside me, my mouth hanging wide
as I shouted.

I didn’t know the big fish, even in the
book entitled Sea Fauna, it was probably the type of jumbo fish that was
written in the second volume of the Sea Fauna book.

The sea creature plunged back into the
ocean, hitting the water, and causing violent waves to roll.  Luckily the fishermen were not hit by a big
fish and their boat did not sink when hit by the waves.

“Tio, what fish was that?” I asked,
tilting my head to the left.

“Armanillo Whale. The large creature lives
at depths of 500 to 800 meters, is carnivorous, but does not prey on humans.
The whale jumps out of the water because it needs a lot of oxygen.”

“Why does Armanillo need such a large
amount of oxygen?”

“To strengthen stomach acid. If the food
is not digested properly, then the Armanillo whale will get sick and die.”

“Oh I understand.”

I didn’t expect Satrio to want to explain
about the fish, he was quiet, maybe Satrio will talk at length if needed or he
is interested in discussing sea fauna. It’s not clear which one is right, there
are a million possibilities to think about.

“Satrio, how do you know all about that
whale?”  I asked, tilting my head to the
right.

“I know from the second volume of the Sea
Fauna book.”

“Armanillo is listed in volume two!? No
wonder I’m unfamiliar with the big fish!” I shouted.

“Huh?”

“S-Sorry, no need to think about it.
Hehehe.”

“If you want, I’ll lend you the second
volume of the Sea Fauna book.” Satrio glanced at me with a cold gaze.

“No need.” I waved one hand in front of my
chest.

Satrio sighed, “Okay then, let’s continue
walking.”

To be continued....
