Arya scratched his head, while the Blue Scarf Fairy just smiled.

“It’s a long story, Queen, but the point is that at that time I helped the villagers who were kidnapped and then made followers by the White Crocodile Demon Queen who built a palace at the bottom of a river. That’s where I got this white crocodile necklace, if worn it can survive at the bottom of the water and it turns out it can also be used at the bottom of the ocean.”

The Queen of the South Coast nodded her head.

“Hmmm, yes I understand now.”

The Blue Scarf Fairy who had just been standing quietly beside Arya, now made a sound while taking the object out from under her clothes.

“Is this really the object called the South Sea Pearl, Queen?”

The Queen of the South Coast nodded happily and relieved, because the magical pearl had been successfully seized by the two warriors in front of her from Joyo Kandis and Nyi Centil.

“Yes, that’s right, it is indeed the South Sea Pearl.”

The Blue Scarf Fairy extended her hand containing the magical pearl to the Queen of the South Coast, Nyi Roro Kidul accepted it.

“Here, take back Nyi Ratu’s South Sea Pearl.”

The Queen of the South Coast was so happy when her sacred pearl was back in her grasp.

“I express my deepest gratitude for your help in reclaiming this South Sea Pearl. Just tell me what you ask of us for your great service?”

Arya just smiled.

“Hmmm, the two of us are not asking for anything, Queen. We are happy enough to be able to help reclaim the stolen South Sea Pearl, as well as avoid a great disaster that might have happened if the object had been in Joyo Kandis’ hands any longer. Isn’t that right, Blue Scarf Fairy?”

The Blue Scarf Fairy also smiled and nodded.

“That’s right, Queen.”

The Queen of the South Coast was very proud of the two warriors in front of her.

“Hmmm, I know you are warriors who never expect anything in return for all the good services you have done. But I also don’t want to be indebted, please tell me how I can repay your kindness?”

Arya scratched his head several times because he was confused by being pressed like that by the Queen of the South Coast.

"Since the Queen insists, okay I want to ask for something but before that I want to ask if the Queen has an item like the one I got? If there is, it is enough for us if there really is something to ask for so that the Queen does not feel indebted. One day if we miss visiting this palace, we can come anytime. Because I doubt that the necklace we are wearing will not work again, I forcibly split it into two parts. Isn't that right, Blue Scarf Fairy?!"

Arya blinked his eyes at the beautiful dimpled girl beside him, the Blue Scarf Fairy had time to stare but she laughed too when the Queen of the South Coast could not hold back her laughter at Arya's attitude and request.

"He.. He.. He..! I thought you were going to ask for a mountain of gold from me, Arya. Eh, it turns out it's just an item to survive in the ocean. Never mind two necklaces, I will give you dozens. But of course the item I will give you is better than the necklace you are wearing. Wait a minute, okay?!”

The Queen of the South Coast suddenly pressed her palms together in front of her chest, her eyes closed with her mouth muttering as if reciting a spell. A puff of white smoke accompanied by the appearance of two pearl necklaces was between the Queen of the South Coast’s palms, then Nyi Roro Kidul’s eyes opened.

“Now, accept this! This necklace is called the South Pearl Necklace, you can use it by putting it around your neck whenever you want to enter the ocean. As long as this necklace is still around your neck, you will be able to survive in the ocean or other types of water.”

The Queen of the South Coast handed the two necklaces to Arya and the Blue Scarf Fairy, and they were both very happy.

“Wow, besides its usefulness exceeding the necklace I am wearing now, this necklace is very beautiful with sparkling pearl eyes. Thank you, Queen, for giving me this necklace,” said Arya, and the Blue Scarf Fairy replied by bowing her head as if paying respect, the Queen of the South Coast nodded with a smile.

“Hmm, never mind, no need to thank me at all. Those two necklaces are nothing compared to the services you have rendered to the palace of the South Coast Kingdom. Now, let us celebrate your success by having dinner together while praying and expressing our gratitude to the Creator.”

The Queen of the South Coast invited Arya and the Blue Scarf Fairy to a room where various kinds of food and fresh fruits were available, after praying to express gratitude to the Creator, Gusti Allah, they chatted again while enjoying the dishes available on the table in the room.

"Currently, you are not only my friends and all the residents of the South Coast Kingdom but I also consider you as my own siblings. Because indeed not everyone can enter this banquet room, it is only reserved for chosen people like you."

The Queen said with all her heart, Arya and the Blue Scarf Fairy of course felt proud.

"Wow, it is a great honor for us, the Queen, to invite and entertain us in this room."

The Queen of the South Coast smiled.

"Hmmm, you deserve it and are appreciated like this."

******

The Queen of the South Coast or also known as Nyi Roro Kidul is not only powerful, but also has a very beautiful face. Arya himself admitted it and was stunned by the beauty of the Queen, but because he did not want to make the Blue Scarf Fairy jealous and mistakenly think that he was amazed, he was forced to hide it.

In the morning, Arya and the Blue Scarf Fairy left the palace of the South Coast Kingdom, they were already on the beach walking side by side with radiant faces full of joy because they had succeeded in reclaiming the South Sea Pearl that was stolen by Nyi Centil and Joyo Kandis.

"The task given by Eyang Guru is finished, now where are you going Arya.....?"

The Blue Scarf Fairy asked, Arya scratched his head again.

"I don't know, Kintani, what is clear is that I will continue to wander following my heart to determine the next step."

Although the Blue Scarf Fairy really hoped that the warrior would come with her, as a woman she realized that it was not good to show that desire too much, especially when it was full of feelings.

"Okay then I'll take my leave, I want to meet and report to Grandpa Guru for the task that we have successfully carried out, hopefully we will meet again someday Arya."

Arya smiled then nodded his head.

"Yes Kintani, hopefully we will meet again someday. Be careful on the road, convey my greetings to your Grandpa Guru."

The Blue Scarf Fairy nodded her head accompanied by a sweet smile full of meaning, then she flashed away leaving the warrior who was walking leisurely on the edge of the southern sea beach.
