One month later, Halilintar and Thorn finally arrived at Kuwajima's village. They walk into the colourful village, houses lit by flames. The village is located at the foot of the mountains, littered with empty rice fields. Soon, spring will come and the fields will be tilled and planted with rice, then turn yellow before autumn is over. The trees will shed the ripe fruits and the vegetables will be harvested. The sea would warm up and it would be easy for them to catch fat fish ready for sale.
Lost in nostalgia, Hali shook off the feeling. That life is gone now, taken by tragedy like a dandelion uprooted by its roots. All that's left now is Thorn. He has no one but Thorn.
"Mmm?" Thorn muttered, nudging Hali's arm. The older brother turned and found his face full of questions about why he had stopped at the entrance area. Hali smiled faintly, patting Thorn's head.
"I'm just making sure. According to the residents, Kuwajima Jigorou lives by himself," said Halilintar. "We'll be there soon and you can sleep, okay?"
"Mmmh," Thorn replied, hopeful. They were just walking a few meters when someone confronted them. Alert, Halilintar grabbed the dagger but didn't pull it out. Thorn frowned, his green eyes glowing in the dark. The claws tapered.
The man was unfazed by their aggressive posture. "Who are you?" He exclaimed in a hoarse voice. "What are you here for?"
"I am Halilintar and this is my brother, Thorn," replied Halilintar. "We are looking for Kuwajima Jigorou."
"How do you know Kuwajima Jigorou?" he asked again. "What's your business with him?"
"We were sent by a woman named Satriantar, she's a swordsman. She wrote a letter for Kuwajima Jigorou, her teacher," said Halilintar.
"Very well," said the man. "Come with me, I'll take it to his house."
"How could we go with suspicious strangers?" Halilintar concluded.
The person grinned faintly. "you are the suspicious of all — strangers sneaking into the village at night and the other one isn't even human."
Halintar was caught by surprise. Half of thorn's face was covered, and his large kimono covered all his fingers. It was impossible for him to know.
"Don't be so surprised," said the man as if reading his mind. "Hurry up and come with me."
"Why?"
"Because I'm Kuwajima Jigorou."
