Chapter 149: chapter 149 - Made Up Story
*Sob~sob~sob~*
After they heard Taufik's story, Mother and Daughter of Tanegashima, of course, he didn't tell them the actual story, but it's a different story from what he told Reza before.
Although the Tanegashima Family have told him that they know about the Supernatural world, which is probably natural, considering their family's identity as former nobility. However, they only know about it and have never had direct contact with it.
The story he told was not some cliche story about a man who saved beauty and then they ended up together.
... It's still a story about a man who saved a beauty, But Taufik added some drama spices to it, hoping that it would satisfy the curiosity of the mother and daughter of Tanegashima.
Like a story about Kaela. In this version, Kaela is a servant from a Noble Family who has a great love for books, but because of her cruel employer, Kaela is forbidden to read even a piece of paper, then Taufik who accidentally finds out about this, helps Kaela from the cruelty of her employer, long story short, Taufik managed to save Kaela and they have been together ever since.
Rani is the matriarch of a hidden Family, that has a wide influence on the world but has a freedom that is limited by the elders in his family, In this story, which was "slightly" changed by Taufik, it is stated that Rani, who could no longer stand the restrictions of her elders, chose to run away from her home.
The elders who knew about this conducted a massive search for Rani, and this is where Taufik once again "accidentally" met Rani.
After hearing Rani's story, Taufik, with his "Sense of Justice", chose to help Rani.
they continued to evade pursuit from the troops sent by the elders day and night until one day, they could not escape anymore because they were surrounded by hundreds of pursuing troops.
Faced with this, Taufik fought tooth and nail to face the troops, while having to protect the weak Rani.
Long short story, Taufik managed to get through the unfavorable situation with wounds all over his body by miraculously not killing any of the pursuing troops.
But Before they could recover from the situation, Taufik and Rani had to face another desperate situation, because this time, the elders personally came to bring Rani back.
Rani, who did not want to be separated from Taufik, expressed her deepest feelings to the elders. and the elders who heard Rani's outpouring of her heart, whether it was out of pity or gratitude because Taufik did not kill any of the pursuing troops, the elders let Rani and Taufik go, on the condition that Rani would not be part of the family anymore.
Rani agreed to the terms without hesitation. and the elders left them both. Rani, who had no shelter anymore and had nothing left except the clothes she was wearing, was confused about how she could survive. That's when Taufik offered her to live with him, and they lived happily ever after.
Of course, when Tokugawa Asahi heard this was bewildered, especially with the sentence "Weak Rani" that came out of Taufik's mouth, but he didn't dare say anything because of the look that Rani was giving him.
Anugerah's story is a bit simple; like Rani, she is also a member of the Hidden Family, but not as Matriarch but as the sister of the patriarch of her family; Anugerah's family is a harmonious family without any disputes.
Her family is also quite an influential family, but for some reason, one day, her family was continuously attacked by bandits, which almost destroyed her family; here, Taufik, who was "adventuring" with Kaela, "accidentally" met Anugerah.
and once again, with Taufik's "sense of justice", he was moved to help the Anugerah Family. When Anugerah told this news to her eldest brother, he happily accepted Taufik's help. But there is someone who is not happy about this, and that person is Anugerah's second brother.
Knowing this, Taufik began to be suspicious of Anugerah's second older brother. and sure enough, the person behind the bandit attack was Anugerah's second oldest brother, who wanted to seize the head of the family seat from his eldest brother.
However, with the strong evidence that Taufik had, Anugerah and her eldest brother began to have some doubts about the brother they trusted so much.
And so they devised a scenario to test the Second Elder Brother Anugerah.
And sure enough, Taufik's suspicions turned out to be true because Anugerah second oldest brother himself, admitted this directly in front of them.
Hearing this, Anugerah and his eldest brother were very hurt and disappointed. Taufik tried to catch Anugerah's second oldest brother, but he managed to escape.
Due to the betrayal of someone they trusted the most, Anugerah and his eldest brother almost gave up hope if not for Taufik, who encouraged them to rise again. This is where the seeds of love began to grow in Anugerah's heart towards Taufik.
In the next bandit attack, Anugerah's Second elder brother also participated, but not as a friend but as the enemy. This attack is the biggest attack of all the previous attacks.
But with help from Taufik somehow they can overcome this dire situation, and then the last battle was a battle between Anugerah Second older brother with Taufik, In one by one battle Taufik was undefeatable and it also applies to this battle, but Taufik didn't Kill his opponent, After all, he's still Anugerah Brother, so Taufik let Anugerah and Her Older Brother decided their own Brother fate.
Long short story, Again. Anugerah's second older brother seems didn't want to change, so with a heavy heart, they asked Taufik to Kill him because they couldn't kill their own brother with their own hands, so they asked Taufik to do it instead, and Taufik didn't find any problem by doing that, because that person was already beyond help.
After that accident, Taufik and Anugerah grow closer, and on the day when Taufik was going to leave, Anugerah made up her mind to go with Taufik, and Anugerah had no problem with that, and that was how they could all be together.
For Jenn's part, Taufik didn't change too much and just told them what could be told.
--------------
After the Story is done, Taufik's mother, Shasha, and Lembu appear at the same time; it seems that they are enjoying the *onsen that the Tanegashima family has on the back of their Manor. If not for Linda who felt Hungry, maybe they will stay on the onsen for a longer time.
While they were waiting for Linda to finish eating, Tanegashima Hisashi appeared with an exhausted posture.
"... Eat... I want something to eat!"
Said Tanegashima Hisashi, which made all of them laugh. Tanegashima Yuna then calls a servant to make more food for her husband, who looks like he will die if he doesn't eat something soon.
After Linda was done eating, Taufik and the others prepared to leave for Tokyo.
"Thank you for accepting us for a while, even if it is only temporary, we are all very happy to get to know you"
"Ara~ don't worry about that; I can also hear interesting stories, so it's okay~... It's a shame that my son is not here to listen to your story; all he did was swing his Katana all day long and only back when it was already dark; if not, I will ask him to learn one or two things from you, what a shame"
"Ahaha~ I'm not that Great"
Said Taufik, Then he and the others also said goodbye to Tanegashima Yuna and her Father, Tanegashima Hisashi.
And then continued their way to Tokyo.
--------------
After walking quite far away from Tanegashima Manor, Tokugawa Asahi, who has been curious about something since a while ago, looked at Taufik.
"Sensei, are the story you told before was true?"
Tokugawa Asahi asks.
"... Half of it was True, about what part is true and what is lie... I leave it all to you"
"That part about Ms. Maharani being weak is absolutely a lie, isn't it?"
Said Tokugawa Asahi which directly received a murderous Gaze from Rani.
"Ahahaha~ that part was indeed a lie"
Said Taufik, who laughed at what Tokugawa Asahi said.
"... Then Sensei, what we'll do now?"
"We'll directly go to Tokyo, hmm~ no you mentioned it, what you used to come here, Asahi? Are you using a plane?"
"No, if I used a plane, this island would sink before I arrived here... What I used was Teleportation which one of my elders had arranged all over Japan"
Said Tokugawa Asahi.
"so is there any on this island? The Teleportation?"
"... About that, there's none on this Island, the closest one from here is in Kagoshima Prefecture, so we still need to cross the ocean to get there"
"Cross the ocean? It seems like the elders in your family like to do things half-heartedly, aren't they?"
Tokugawa Asahi awkwardly rubbed the back of his head when he heard what Taufik said.
"Hmm~ cross the ocean, huh?"
Said Taufik then looking at Alice in his arms.
"Alice, do you want to see fish swimming under the water?"
Said Taufik with a smile on his face.
