The man looked at Angga very sharply and at the same time, the mud that gripped their legs was now gripping even more tightly, it made Angga take a deep breath to find a way out.
suhh…
Angga immediately turned to look at his arm which felt like it had just been blown by a gentle wind, which in the end made him remember the words from Eiji some time ago.
'Your strength is the element that carries you.'
That's what Eiji said, which made Angga smile at the man who looked at him quite cynically in front of him.
If you are truly my strength, then help me to be able to escape from this person. Angga muttered in his heart, and liked what he had seen when Eiji controlled the bushes, Angga immediately swung his right wrist which had been feeling the wind blow to then move it as if he got rid of the man.
Wow!!
The strong wind pushed the man's body so that it bounced quite far from where Eiji and Angga were currently. It was certainly a surprise for all of them and including Angga himself.
He turned Angga's gaze to Eiji who now also turned his gaze to Angga quickly. "We have to leave immediately!" asked Angga to Eiji who then nodded his head in response to the invitation. They deliberately took off their shoes which were still stuck in the mud and Eiji immediately pulled them both with the bushes that were creeping towards them. finally, they were lifted from the mud puddle. The two of them ran before the man approached from afar.
Seeing the two of them disappear from the man's sight, made him growl quite loudly and also scream in annoyance, "Eiji!! I will kill you and kill your friends later!!" growled the man as he jumped up and down in annoyance in his place, as if he had just missed an important thing that he wanted to do.
The man is now walking again, leaving the shoes that have dried from the mud he brought, and the shoes are the shoes belonging to Angga and Eiji who were left behind. The man walked out of another hallway after feeling annoyed that Eiji and Angga had managed to escape.
Like a madman who was missing something, he just walked away again without any intention of looking for Angga and Eiji, who turned out to be hiding among the covering bushes.
…
Angga and Eiji came out of their hiding place after they believed that the man had left the location where they were hiding.
"Wind"
The movement of Angga, who was wearing his shoes at that time, became silent for a moment and then turned his gaze to look at Eiji who had just said that. His two eyes were now looking at Eiji who was also looking at him with a very curious look. It was as if Eiji really wanted Angga to answer or respond to what he just said.
"What do you mean?" Angga asked Eiji, at this time Angga was wearing his shoes again which they had left at the scene, and after that Angga stood up from his place and faced Eiji.
"It was the wind that brought you here, wasn't it?" Eiji asked Angga who sighed, it was clear that Angga was reluctant to discuss such things, but because Eiji was pressing him so hard, in the end, Angga nodded his head to answer Eiji's question.
"Yes… The wind was the element that brought my body here." Angga replied to Eiji, hearing this made Eiji sigh. As if grateful that Angga had enough weapons to make their enemies fall quite far like earlier, and that was said directly by Eiji to Angga.
"Thankfully ... at least, we can keep the enemy away with your wind as you did to him" that was the words that Eiji said to Angga.
Hearing this, made Angga remember the man he felt knew Eiji, and that feeling was quite odd according to Angga. "Eiji… there is something I want to ask you," said Angga to Eiji who now stood up from his seat and patted his dirty pants, then he looked at Angga who was standing in front of him at this time.
"What do you want to ask?" Eiji asked Angga.
"Did you recognize the mud man before?" Angga asked Eiji who was now frowning and as if he was reluctant to answer that, "I'm sure you guys have met before because I think he already knows your name" continued Angga to Eiji who finally exhaled and nodded his head in response to that.
However, from the look on Eiji's face right now, Angga is sure that Eiji doesn't want to discuss further the man which in the end makes Angga clear his throat and say, "Hmm! If you don't want to tell it, then you don't need to tell me, I won't mind it."
Angga's explanation also made Eiji shake his head, who then immediately answered it by saying, "No ... that's not what I meant!" The explanation that was spoken by Eiji at that time made Angga, who had turned his head the other way, now turned his head back to Eiji, "Yes ... we are acquainted with each other and maybe we can be considered as friends in the past." continued Eiji to Angga, hearing the answer made Angga who heard it, in the end, get a big question mark in his mind.
"Wait… same then?? How come your friendship is only in the past?" Angga asked Eiji again, who at that time walked first to leave the place, and because of that, Angga also walked in the child's footsteps.
"Everyone can change, right? and that's what happened to Peter." Eiji explained to Angga who was now frowning and then nodded his head.
"So… the boy's name is Peter?" asked Angga while pointing to the back with his thumbs, Eiji nodded his head to answer that.
"Yes ... Peter and I met when I first came into this labyrinth, and together with him we tried to find the key to the exit ... just like me and you today" explained Eiji to Angga, hearing this made Angga feel curious about one thing.
"Eiji… how did you get brought here by the bushes?" Angga asked, making Eiji turn his head to look at him and start to talk.
