Chapter 141: chapter 141 - Suigen Shrine



Before Taufik leaves Nakamoto Tetsgu, He takes a last glance at him, The sickly and weak back of the old man he had previously seen was replaced by the mighty back of the person who has been through a lot.

"Thank you"

Said Taufik, then activated his Detection Skill, and just in a Blink of eyes, he already found Rani's whereabouts. They have walked quite far away, but it's not a problem for Taufik.

have locked their location, Taufik manifested his wing of Mana and then flew toward them at high speed.

And just in a few seconds, Taufik had caught up with them.

"I'm back"

Said Taufik, announcing his presence to the group below, which made everyone, expect Rani, startled by his sudden arrival, especially Tokugawa Asahi, who looked amazed by what Taufik did.

-------------

"You're here, husband; what are you talking about with that old man?"

Ask Rani, after Taufik has landed beside her.

"... A lesson, a very precious lesson... Rani, did I ever say that I love you?"

"... Yes?"

Faced with that sudden question, Rani was surprised, more surprised than any surprise that she had been through in all of her life.

"... W-wha... What- why so sudden? No! Wait! Let me think!...

Hmm~ No, you never said something like that"

Answers Rani, after she tried so hard to calm herself.

"I see... I know it's so sudden, but I need you to know, that I always love you, so please always stay by my side"

"..."

Heard that Rani's brain went blank, making her stay in her place even after Taufik had walked several meters away from her.

"..."

"Sensei, I want to ask something"

Said Tokugawa Asahi, approaching Taufik after he saw Taufik already finished his talk with Rani.

"Sensei?"

Ask Taufik, confused at Tokugawa Asahi who suddenly addressed him as Sensei.

"Yes, for now on, I will call you my Sensei, so Sensei, can you teach me that cool thing you did before? I also want to fly freely in the sky like what you did, so PLEASE TEACH ME, SEN-"

"WAIT! HUSBAND!!...can you repeat what you said before? I want to recor- n-no, I mean, I want... I want... JUST PLEASE SAY IT ONE MORE TIME!!"

Said Rani, already getting out of her blank state, then she realized just what Taufik had said, she was absolutely happy with that, but then a huge regret hit her, it was because she hadn't recorded what Taufik just said, if he has recorded it, she can show it off to Jenn, Kaela, and Anugerah.

'... What a huge mistake, I should keep it active for 24 hours, what a waste'

Said Rani in her mind, while holding a small recorder that she had prepared a long time before.

"Husband, just one time, just said one more time, please!"

"Sensei, Please teach me Your flying Technique!!"

"Husband, one more time!"

"Sensei, please!"

"Husband-

"Sensei...

...

...

...

*plak!* *plak!*

"YOU TWO, SHUT UP!!"

Taufik who can bear to hear their ramblings, hit the two of them on their head.

"Rani, I know what you want, but not here, and you"

Said Taufik, pointed at Tokugawa Asahi.

"Yes, Sensei"

"First, I never accept you as my student..."

*ugh*

"And I will never accept any student other than my own blood, so you as... Strangers will never have a chance, understood?"

"*ugh* th-that was more hurt than when Mrs. Hidayat hit me, but I understand"

Said Tokugawa Asahi, who was on his knees while holding his chest, which was "in pain" due to the psychological attack that Taufik gave him.

"Is Good, if you understa-"

"Then, FATHER! YES FATHER, FOR NOW ON, YOU WILL BE MY SECOND FATHER, SO FATHER, PLEASE BESTOW ME YOUR TEACHING!!!"

Said Tokugawa Asahi out loud while taking a 'Dogeza' position, to show his respect to Taufik.

"..."

"..."

"..."

Everyone was speechless while watching the young master of Big Family, Tokugawa Asahi, do such a thing; even Nakamoto Takeda and Nakamoto Yuna, who this whole time only focused on leading the path toward the shrine, had to stop after hearing a ridiculous thing that Tokugawa Asahi said.

"... What the hell? Are you sure you are a descendant of Tokugawa? Not 'Lu Bu' by any chance?"

-------------

After that absurd situation, they continued their walk toward the shrine. at first, Tokugawa Asahi doesn't want to move if Taufik doesn't promise to teach him the flying technique that Taufik has; facing Tokugawa Asahi's stubbornness, Taufik decides to leave him.

But then Tokugawa said something That made Taufik interested; it's not something so great like a strong artifact or anything like that, but what Tokugawa Asahi offered to Taufik if he was willing to teach him that flying technique was something That Taufik liked and so agreement was made.

"We are here"

Announce Nakamoto Takeda; after walking for several minutes, they arrived at the Shrine. All this time, they kept walking uphill, so they thought the shrine would be located in a high place like most other shrines.

But this Shrine was located in a low place, So they had to go down the stairs to get to the Shrine.

'... So this is why I couldn't see the shrine when I was in the sky, but why the Shrine is in a low place. Most shrine I have seen (in Anime) was located in a high place, but this one...it's...weird, somehow'

It's what Taufik thought when he Saw this Shrine.

The Shrine was not too big, but also not small. It's a medium-sized Shrine, but something that caught their attention was the *Torii, which lined up starting from where they were standing to the bottom of the stairs so in each step they had, they went through one Torii.

# A/N- "Torii (Japanese: 鳥居, [to.ɾi.i]) is a traditional Japanese gate most commonly found at the entrance of or within a Shinto shrine, where it symbolically marks the transition from the mundane to the sacred, and a spot where kami are welcomed and thought to travel through. (Source - Wiki) Just In case you don't know"

And in each Torii that they passed, the feeling of entering a sacred territory can't escape from their minds. It's just like entering a whole new World.

"This the Shrine, Suigen (水源) Shrine was our Ba-Jou Tribe Sacred Shrine, Only The Village Chief and the person he chooses can get in, even me and Yuna never even saw what's inside this Shrine because without the Village Chief's permission, you can't even get through that Torii, Usually people who didn't have permission like Young Master Asahi and Mrs.

Hidayat, even me and Yuna can only wait in outside, what 'outside' I mean was before that stairs, but this is a special situation, with Suijin Condition like that, the Barrier was not active that's why we can come down here, and this Shrine also where a new Village Chief will make a contract with Suijin after the contract of the Previous Village chief has been terminated...

Said Nakamoto Takeda, explaining about the Shrine.

... We already do what we asked for, and just like what my father said, the rest is up to you, Mr. Hidayat"

"... Thank you"

Said Taufik and without any second thought, Taufik directly walked toward the door of the Shrine.

The second strange thing about this Shrine is that the two-door has no handle at all.

'How I'm Supposed to open this?'

Taufik said, then Touched the Shrine Door, Then something happened which made Taufik withdraw his hands from the Door.

"!!?"

'Huh? It's suck Mana? What the? Is that the way to open the Door?'

Though Taufik, which was a BIG no. Like what Nakamoto Takeda said, only the Village chief and the person he chooses can get inside this Shrine, which means only the person who has a Contract with Undine can open this Door, If a person who doesn't have a contract with Undine Tried to open this Door, then the Sama situation as what Taufik undergoes like now will happen.

If this happens, then that person Mana will suck dry by the Door; if it is another person, but whose Taufik?

He was the one who had the purest Mana in the world and huge amounts as well, his Mana is like the source of all That can turn to any kind of energy, and that's why he can withdraw his hands from that door, it's because the Door recognizes Taufik Mana as the Energy that the Undine contractor have.

Having 'Found' the way to open the Door, Taufik then put his hands back on that door and let it suck his Mana.

*krek~*

After letting the Door suck his Mana for a few seconds, the Door has slightly open, so Taufik then pushes that door in, but then...

*Whoosh!!*

A very Corrupt Mana came Out from inside that Shrine after Taufik opened the Door; that Huge amount of corrupt Mana was so dense that you could see it with the naked eye only.

""!!!""

Rani and the others also saw this, which surprised the hell out of them, this was the first time they saw that dense Corrupted Mana, it was so shocking and disgusting at the same time, even Tokugawa Asahi nauseous when seeing this, he can't believe that he always let something like that come inside his body, which made him even more nauseous.

"... Shit"

Taufik directly came inside that Shrine and then forcefully closed the Door. He couldn't let any more of that Corrupted Mana get out from the Shrine, or it would affect the surrounding Area.

*Click!*

With that 'click' sound, the Door had fully closed, Taufik was hesitant to let go of that door, afraid it would open again, but after thinking about it for a while, Taufik finally let go of the door, then nervously looked at the door, Fortunately there no sign of that door will be opened, which made Taufik took a long Breath of Relief.

"Huufftt~"

"Alright, let's see what we got here~"

Said Taufik while looking around the Inside of the Shrine. It's when the Gaze landed on something in the middle of the Room.

"Hmm? What is that? A pool?"

....
