Chapter 5: [Arc – Golden Rage] Chapter 4 – New Friends and Challenges

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 woman, 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,
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!”
