Halvir is Leaving

Chapter 023 Halvir is Leaving

Anindira's reaction clearly showed that Halvir's words had offended her, even though she didn't know where Anindira was disturbed.

''She's angry because I brought up his father's incompetence?!'' Halvir shouted in his heart while staring at Anindira, ''Should I apologize to her?!''

Anindira returned Halvir's gaze, still with her sharp eyes. She was still upset with Halvir's words about her father.

''No!'' Halvir shouted in his heart after thinking for a while, ''I'm not wrong, that's the truth.''

Even though he acted tough, his body's reaction was not in sync with his brain's thought patterns telling Anindira something else.

''Pretending to be fierce, but your eyes look sad,'' Anindira muttered in her heart, ''You idiot!''

Anindira sighed, seeing Halvir staring at her in silence. Although faint, Anindira could feel that Halvir's emotions were also going up and down because Anindira had scolded him earlier.

''Dira, be careful!'' Anindira shouted in her heart, warning herself, ''No matter how good Halvir is to you. Not to provoke him... after all, you still don't understand the concept of this world properly. Try to be patient, don't be reckless!''

A feeling of fear also crossed her heart. Her instincts told her that she had to give in if she wanted to stay alive.

She took a deep breath, calming her heart rate, which was starting to rise. She tried to ease the tension, not only for herself but also for Halvir.

''Kak Halvir,'' Anindira called while holding Halvir's hand, ''My world is different from yours. But just like you who guard women. So do the men in my world. As someone who is guarded by using all their abilities, of course I will also give them the best support,'' Anindira said, trying to explain gently, ''Physical strength is not everything in my world.''

Anindira's last sentence was said while staring at Halvir sharply to show that she was very confident when she said it.

''I don't know how to explain it to you,'' Anindira continued while swallowing because she felt nervous, ''But, as you already know. The human population in my world is much greater. Many times more than the population here. Isn't that enough to prove that we are not as weak as you think,'' Anindira added with a slight smile on her face showing pride in her people, ''But, that still can't be a benchmark. Numbers are not the determinant of victory or success of something... The point is, there are many aspects to consider for everything. The situation and conditions must have more or less influenced it. That's all I can say. I'm not very good at explaining things.''

Anindira closed her explanation with a long sigh because she felt relieved. It turned out she still had a chance to explain why she was angry about her father earlier.

The two of them then fell silent, lost in their own thoughts thinking about the results of their conversation.

**

After some time, the meat was ready to eat.

Halvir tore off the thigh and placed it on a leaf and gave it to Anindira.

Halvir's actions managed to break the silence between the two of them. Although he didn't speak, this time it was clear that Halvir had gave in.

''Look!'' Anindira muttered in her heart, ''He still gave me the part of the meat that I like. He tore it apart first to make it easier for me to pick the meat. Kak Halvir still pays attention to me.''

Anindira immediately took it without hesitation with a broad smile on her lips because she felt relieved that Halvir was not angry with her. She felt doubtful because he had been silent the last time Aninidra spoke. As usual, Anindira ate. He would pinch a piece of meat, then wrap it in leaves and then eat it.

''Ah!'' Anindira screamed when she remembered something when she heard the neighing of two animals hanging not far from her, ''Kak Halvir, I've really wanted to ask you, are you very hungry?''

Anindira started talking while eating. She began to forget the silence that had occurred a moment ago.

Anindira dared to speak again after feeling that Halvir had lowered his tension and was starting to be friendly again when he gave her a large piece of thigh meat earlier.

''Why?'' Halvir answered by asking back while continuing to bite and chew the meat in his hand.

''There are two big tigers that you hunted,'' Anindira replied while glancing at the two animals, ''Then, both of them are still alive. What do you want to do? Do you want to keep them?''

''You want to keep them?!''

''Don't joke, why would I keep two animals that are ready to make me food every chance they get...''

''Hm,'' Halvir was shocked to hear Anindira's straightforward answer. That's what made Halvir like Anindira even though there was no *Imprint influence, ''I happened to find them,'' Halvir replied indifferently while continuing to enjoy the large meal in front of him, ''While fighting over a female in heat.''

Currently, what they were eating was a mountain goat. While the two male Tigers were kept alive by being tied with a rope made of tree bark. The two animals were deliberately hung to weaken their movements.

''Then?!'' Anindira replied because Halvir's words still did not answer her question.

''I will exchange it for some pottery. They must remain fresh so that the exchange value is high.''

''Po-tte-ry... what is that, Kak Halvir?'' Anindira asked. She did not understand the word.

''I can't show it to you because I don't have the goods. You will see it after I get it later. I will also make your clothes,'' Halvir replied with his mood back.

''Clothes?! Kak Halvir will sew?'' Anindira asked very enthusiastically.

''No!'' Halvir answered firmly, ''I don't know how to sew.''

''Then?'' Anindira asked, frowning while tilting her head, ''Kak Halvir, I don't know how to sew...'' Anindira continued with a pitiful face.

''I didn't tell you to sew!'' Halvir answered with a frown as well, ''I'm going to the Lion Kingdom, there are many Herbifora Clans there... We will provide the materials to be sewn, and the wages are *Amber or meat or animal skin. Whatever they need...'' Halvir continued to explain.

''Oh, I see...'' Anindira exclaimed and smiled again, ''How long is the trip to the Lion Kingdom?'' Anindira asked while continuing to enjoy her food.

''Six days. It would take me at least two weeks to finish everything.''

''Wow, that's a long time... Is it very far?... Isn't it troublesome to bring me and two big tigers?!''

''I won't bring you!'' Halvir answered firmly.

Halvir's answer just now certainly surprised Anindira. Anindira immediately turned to look at Halvir and stopped her activity of eating greedily. Anindira's face looked like she was about to cry.

THUMP

Halvir's heart was immediately touched to see Anindira's reaction.

''Dira?!''

''Kak Halvir, are you going to leave me?! Here... alone?!''

''Dira, what's wrong? Your eyes are teary... are you sad?''

''You're asking that now?!''
