Chapter 58: chapter 58 - Weird Island
"Do you really have to go? Why don't staying for a few more days?"
Maharani said after she heard Taufik wanted to leave.
"You know I can't, I'm still on My journey with them...
Taufik said, pointed at Kaela and Arman.
...so I can't"
'Even If it were not for my journey, I would never stay here'
Taufik said in his mind.
Maharani who heard Taufik's reasons looked at Arman and Kaela, especially Toward Kaela.
During the few days that Taufik stayed in her Palace, Maharani was especially close to Kaela.
She Saw Her right now is not because Maharani Worried About Kaela, But She afraid of what would happen between Taufik And Kaela in that journey later.
Maharani's worry was not without a reason, she worried because she heard it with she heard it directly from Kaela that she had a thing toward Taufik.
'... If Something Happened between the two of them, it would just get harder for me, even right now with only This 'Jenn' that I never met before, is hard enough, what should I do? What should I do?'
"If you don't have anything to say anymore, I will leave now, Thank You for these few Days"
Taufik Then joined Arman and Kaela who were already on his Flying Carpet.
"Alright, it's time to say goodbye, Rani"
Following What Taufik did Arman Said His Goodbye too.
"Thank you for your hospitality in these few Days, Aunt Queen"
"Y-yeah, it's nothing"
'Aunt Queen? What is that?'
Maharani Thought, and Then looked at Kaela waiting for her to say something too.
Feeling Maharani's Gaze, Kaela was smiling, but Maharani who saw this, felt something else instead of just "smile".
"I too, Thank you for your hospitality in these few Days, Your Highness, I'm happy to have met a strong Woman like you, and I have learned many things from you, Thank you"
Kaela said slightly bowed toward Maharani, still wearing the smile, that Maharani Saw like she was mocking her
"Y-you... "
"...Yes, Your Highness?"
Kaela said tilting her head a little.
Maharani then looked at Taufik.
"I don't care, I want to go too, take me with you!!"
Maharani said, trying to get into Taufik Flying Carpet.
"Yes???"
---------
Taufik and co were flying with the Carpet, right now, it's been a few hours after they left the Desert Continent and of course without Maharani.
Long short story, Maharani who wants to follow him, was getting rejected by Taufik and a few of the Highest Officers of her kingdom.
But she obstinately wants to go, Doesn't have any choice the elder orders a few soldiers to hold back Maharani for a while and ask Taufik to go quickly, they cannot let Maharani leave the Kingdom.
But a few soldiers cannot hold Maharani back, she changes to her Dragon form and tries to resist the soldiers and the elder who doesn't want her to go.
She was on a rampage, Taufik who Saw That shook his head, so to calm her down, Taufik made a device that she could use to communicate with him, and only after that did Maharani calm down a little, only a little.
-------
Taufik looks at the device in his hand that looks like a handphone, takes a deep breath, and then puts that device In his pocket.
"What Happened before was... Wild, why 'Aunt Queen' do something like That, brother?"
Arman asks, thinking about what Maharani did earlier.
"You don't need to know about that... But what is 'Aunt Queen'?"
Taufik said while lying down, different from before this time there was no Flying Shark like before, So Taufik could relax, even if there was a Flying Shark, he just could order Arman or Kaela to deal with it.
"The queen was my mother's friend, So I call her 'Aunt Queen', it's something wrong, brother?"
"There's nothing, but why don't call her just Aunt or Queen, why Aunt Queen, It sounds weird, somehow"
"...just because... Brother?"
"Hmm?"
Taufik answers him, still lying down, not looking at Arman.
"... Where's Kl'lara, I haven't seen her these few days, did something happen to her?"
Only after Arman asked that did Taufik look in his direction, then he looked at Kaela, but Kaela shook her head, indicating that she didn't know a thing.
"...why do you ask that?"
Heard that, Arman tilted his head.
"Hmm? Nothing, I just want to ask, can't I?"
"...She's fine, maybe she has something to do in the Spirit Realm, I don't know"
"Ohh, okay"
Arman said while nodding his head.
---------
A few hours later, Taufik and co were already in the middle of the ocean, and on the way here there was no problem at all.
"This was too Calm to the point I felt Something was wrong...
Taufik said then looked at Kaela who was still on a book that Taufik gave her.
...Kaela do you know something about Snow Continent?"
Heard that Kaela shifted her Gaze from The Book to Taufik.
"...hmm, Expect About this Continent was the smallest and Always covered in Snow, There's Not Much I know About this Continent, especially the Blue Dragon, it's Better when the late Blue Dragon is still alive, but after the Crown Prince takes over as a king, or after the war is ended, we Naver hears any news from the Blue Dragon Again, it's like they cut any contact from the outside world"
"Is there no one ever trying to reach them?"
"There is, but no one ever makes it back before, so we never try it again"
"Hmm, it's interesting...
Taufik then looks up and sees it is almost raining and it's almost dark too, so he asks Arman.
... Arman searches for something like an island or something, so we can rest for the night"
He said, still lying down.
"Okay, brother"
Arman then looked around but he didn't see anything, only the vast ocean he could see.
He kept looking around Until he saw something.
'Hmm? I didn't see anything in there before, did I make a mistake?... Let's tell Big Brother first and let him decide'
"Brother I saw something in there, maybe an island"
Taufik got up, then looked at where Arman pointed.
He indeed saw an island, but he had a bad feeling about that island.
Taufik then looked up again, the sky was already dark and a lighting had struck down a few times.
Then Taufik looks at the island again.
'Arman and Kaela need to rest, I have a bad feeling but...'
"... Alright let's rest on that island for tonight"
Taufik then patted the carpet, ordering it to go toward that island.
After The carpet reaches the island, Taufik then pats the carpet once again, ordering it to land on the ground.
When Taufik saw the ground, it was a muddy ground.
"Fuck... Arman cleared the ground first! and made the ground that we will use to set up a tent high"
Arman nods his head, Then raises his hand, simultaneously as Arman Raises his hand The ground below is high enough, and clears the muddy ground with his magic.
Seeing it's already done, Taufik steps out from the carpet, and then gets the tent that they used before and puts it on the ground.
"Arman do it like before, Kaela cast some barriers for the rain and set up a fire, I will go look around this island"
Arman and Kaela nod their head, Understanding what Taufik's Order is.
Taufik then makes a wing from Mana, then goes around the island.
After a while Taufik didn't find anything, the island was not that big but not small either, and Many Trees had weird-looking Fruits on this island.
From that fruit, Taufik could smell a very sweet scent From those fruits.
but he couldn't find any animal at all.
"It's strange, why there's no living being Around here?"
He then looked around once again but still didn't find anything.
"... Weird"
--------
After Taufik finished inspecting around, The rain was pouring down, so He went back to where Arman and Kaela were.
"What are you found brother?"
Arman asks him after he sees Taufik back, And gives him a hot drink that Kaela made.
"Thank you"
Taufik takes a sip of that Hot drink that looks like coffee but has a sweet taste instead.
"There's nothing around, even there's no animal... Only a tree with a weird-looking fruit can be seen"
"A weird-looking fruit?"
Kaela who was preparing a dinner for them, asked Taufik when she heard what Taufik said.
"Yes, A weird looking fruit, if I had seen that fruit on the ground, I would never have thought that as a fruit, I can know it was a fruit only because I saw it growing in the tree, but although it has a weird shape, that fruit has a sweet smell"
"Young don't eat it, brother?"
Arman ask.
"Of course not, even if it has a sweet smell, I will never eat Something like that"
Taufik said while shaking his head.
"To that extent, how exactly weird does that fruit look, brother"
Taufik then thought about it for a while.
"... Hmm, it looks like a face? I don't if it was a face, but it had something like eyes and a mouth that opened wide, it was like it trying to shout something, that fruit is really weird, how can I eat something like that?"
Heard that, Kaela seem remembered something.
"... A fruit that looks like a fac-"
....
