"... This is Sir Banaspati Sister?... This Little Spirits?"
Matvey Asked when he saw Sylph's Figure.
"She's Because of some circumstances, but Yeah~ She's Banaspati Sister...
Said Taufik, but still getting some disbelief Gazes from Matvey; After All, Sylph's Size right now was just like the Size of Low-Level Spirits, so it was hard to believe that Sylph, in her current condition, was the Sister of Banaspati, who was an Ancient Spirits.
... It's up to you if You want to believe it or not... And here's the Problem: the two of you know that Banaspati has three Siblings, right?"
Hearing Taufik's Questions, Matvey and Ruslan Nod their Head.
"Okay~ Then it will be easy... Actually, the condition of Banaspati's right now is not much different than his three siblings...
This is Happening Because The corrupted Mana They Absorb is already beyond the Amount that they can Handle, so something happens, If this continues, Banaspati will be demonized and will lose his mind, and if that Happens Only destruction will befall the land his lives in"
Hearing this, Matvey and Ruslan were shocked; worry filled their faces, cold sweat slowly flowed down their cheeks, and they were silent, unable to say anything.
"The first case I met was Banaspati's older Sibling, the Ancient Eart Spirits, he's also the one who told me all of this and gave me a task to help his other three siblings, and here I am"
After that, Taufik tells them the story of his fight with The Ancient Earth Spirits, until it continues to Undine and the last one is about Sylph, It's a Great Story, but what shocks them more, is Taufik, the person who is capable Defeat those Three terrifying Baing who have lost their will because the Corrupted Mana and the fact that he also Defeats them with ease made them wandering how strong he was, even Caldwell is no exception.
'... The more I know him, the higher the wall I feel when facing him; we share the same blood, but why can he be so far ahead of me? Is the lineage of the Hidayat Clan so influential? Shit! There's no point in complaining , I just have to keep practicing, so that the distance we have will not be too far apart'
Caldwell said to himself, finding a new resolution to become stronger than he is now.
"I've finished the other three including Sylph who is here and Banaspati is the last one"
"T-then what you waiting for? Let me lead you to where Sir Banaspati's seclusion is... Distinguished Guest"
Said Matvey, who immediately changed his attitude and views towards Taufik after hearing the story he told; he had no other choice because, as Taufik said, if this continued, disaster would befall their land, a disaster that a human being could not imagine.
Said Taufik; then Matvey and Ruslan led them to An active volcano that was only several kilometers from the Ka-Zask Tribe village.
"This Volcano began to Active a few days ago, one day after Sir Banaspati began his Seclusion"
Said Matvey on their way toward the volcano.
"We've tried to communicate with him but there are no answers, there's we begin to feel anxious because usually Sir Banaspati always responds to our calls"
"... It's so, then how can we see him? We're not going into that active volcano, are we?"
Caldwell asked, They had arrived at the foot of the volcano, the volcanic ash that came out of the volcano soared high into the sky, but it was not yet dangerous enough because it was still limited to emitting volcanic ash and it had not yet reached the village where the Ka-Zask Tribe lived, but in the next few days the volcanic ash might spread even further.
Answers Matvey who took Caldwell by Suprise.
"We will!!... It's an Active Volcano you know?... How do we even get in? Are we going to jump straight into the mouth of the volcano or something?"
"Of course not, are you crazy? They probably have a Passage like some cave or something...
Said Taufik then looking at Matvey and Ruslan.
But Matvey, who faced Taufik's Questions, turned his head Toward Ruslan, his Father; seeing this, Taufik began to have a little doubt.
"... You don't have?"
"We have Indeed had one like that, but..."
"*Sigh* Just Answers him Already! It's not like we are trying to kill them or something; why did you even hesitate like that?"
Said Ruslan after seeing his son behave like that, then added.
"... You heard what he said before, right? If all of that is true, then something like that is nothing to him; just tell him... The true Descendant of Hidayat will not just die by something like that"
Said Matvey and then Looked at Taufik and then said.
... Actually, We have a Passage that Sir Banaspati himself made for us in case something happened to the Village, and Sir Banaspati it's not around... But a few days ago something happened... The usual Normal Passage Now is filled by a Monster made by Fire; it is also the reason why we can meet Sir Banaspati to check his condition...
That fire Monster is no ordinary, because no matter how many times we kill them, they will continue to come back to life shortly after we kill them...
And that Monster was also quite strong, Some of us were badly injured by the Monster when we tried to meet Sir Banaspati, fortunately, there were no casualties, it was as if Sir Banaspati himself forbade us from approaching him, and this made us all feel anxious and didn't know what to do"
"... I see... it is indeed quite dangerous... Then where the Passage is?" Ask Taufik.
Caldwell pointed to a Boulder that seemed to have been placed there on purpose.
"There? Behind that Boulder?"
"Yes, For the past few days, none of the monsters have come out of the cave. However, for safety reasons, we all agreed to cover the entrance and would remove it when the situation improved. However, until now, instead of improving, the situation has actually gotten worse... If you want to enter then we will have to remove that Boulder first...
Wait here, I will go gather the man and together we will remove the Boulder"
"No... I'll do that on my own..."
Said Taufik, stopping Matvey who wanted to go back to the Village to call the others.
"... Are you sure? That Boulder is quite heavy, it needs dozens of our tribe's strongest men to move it there"
"Just mare of Boulder, with a flick of my finger it will Crumble like sand"
Said Taufik, then walked toward Boulder, but Caldwell Stopped him by the hand.
"... Let me do it, bro"
"... Sure... Go Ahead"
With Taufik's approval, Caldwell stepped forward towards the Boulder.
"Is he also from Hidayat, Young Man?"
Ask Ruslan to Taufik while seeing Caldwell, who is standing in front of The Boulder.
"Huh? Isn't he your cousin?"
"Yes, from My Mother's side"
"Ohh~ So "Hidayat" Is from your Father, I see, then which Family his come from? Looking at him I have a familiar feeling... like I've seen him somewhere but I can't remember where"
Said Ruslan with his eyes still on Caldwell.
"... You too, Father? I thought it was only me... This why living in a desolate land like ours is bad sometimes... We can't know about the news that happens outside quickly"
Hearing what his son said, Ruslan snorted and then said with a little emotion.
... It can't be helped. after Tsar Nicholas ll was Abdicated, the current government rarely uses our services... and from all the achievements that our tribe has achieved hundreds of years ago... we are ignored and think we never existed...
but we are lucky because our predecessors were able to meet with sir Banaspati here, otherwise the same rebellion as that carried out by Razin and Pugachev would have occurred"
Matvey laughed awkwardly; he forgot that he shouldn't have said that in front of his father; otherwise, something would always happen; not wanting to bring it up again, Matvey immediately looked at Taufik to change the topic of conversation.
"S-so~ where's your Cousin is come from, sir Hidayat?"
Ask Matvey and his Father, Ruslan also put his ear closer so he could hear what Taufik was going to say better.
"Ohh~ Britain, which Family?"
Ask Matvey; he knows a few of Britain's Magician Families, and the Kel-Toi Tribe also has several times in contact with his Tribe.
"... From Royal Family"
"Oh~ Royal Family..."
There's a silence for a while between the three of them, with their eyes still on Caldwell who now Touch the Boulder.
And after a while, Matvey and Ruslan seemed to realize something, and after being silent for a few more moments, they then looked at Taufik simultaneously with wide-open eyes.
"... R-R-ROYALLL FAMILY!!!" x2
