Chapter 4: My name still Kail!

… I lost word to response…

I… am I… the child?

… The gem! Wh...Where is the gem?! If I am truly that child then I should have the gem…

But the book no the memories, says “kail”… I remember a man call out to my name and vanish into the light… can’t be can it? Wait a minute there is something much important here.

Hansmeria kingdom is long lost kingdom renown to the world expert at war that is now becoming ruins where beast living for the place is extremely hot to live for human.

Which mean… only one possible answer…?

The gem is a taboo art which commonly known as forbidden nowadays…

Back when the times of war of this world, there is an art which anyone can use as long as he or she has magic power. The ability to teleport, which needed only magic force to support. To teleport is to concentrate your energy within your palm and the magic gem is created. Upon doing it, you have to imply a name to the gem to show its owner. Then… you place it to a safe place that you desire and it will last forever until the day the gem lost its power…

Teleport… no, to be exact is reincarnate. The people of the war times use this ability… that is why the war went longer than necessary, which is why it is now forbidden art.

But the real Kail is gone… so, has his duty ends or fail? I guess…? Really make me worry but I don’t care~ I am myself, a person who is from a different world incarnate into this ‘Kail’ to protect the kids and to find our own happiness. Hmph. All went well then. Let’s just burn this book just in case…

When I only thinking to burn it… Fire suddenly spread around the book.

Wah! Wah! Fire! Eh? E-eh??? The book is gone? Wait. I imagine the book to burn and its burn… even though I am earth element… plus adding up to that, I can cast magic without hand movement?? This is truly the body of Raphael the child of Black Eyes…

Never mind~ all is good~ No one can stop me from my original plans. I plan on ordinary life here Dude above the sky! Don’t mess with my plans! Your Raphael is gone! I am Kail.

“B-brother??”

“huh?”

u-uh awkward… pointing my right hand fore finger to the roof and left hand choking my waist… One will say, I am odd. If people from previous world, they would say I’m imitating the magic ranger pose.

“I…I was exercising! 1,2,3!1,2,3!” Awkwardly I bent my left waist to the lower right then again but my right waist to the lower left.

“…”

“…”

“…”

“… just go to sleep…Reno, Eline”

Awk..ward…

………

My name is Reno, I used to have a surname but I don’t want to have one. When I was 7 years old, I take my little sister who is still small at that time, to the slum. Before living in the slum, I used to be living in a house of an Earl. The earl is my father and my mother die when she gave birth to me. He then marries another woman from baron family, and I get a little sister… But that woman, once my father got old, she poison him and tries to kill her own daughter. Since that woman ignoring my existence since the first day she enter the house, I decided to run away with Eline to somewhere out of her hand reach.

Then by running…2 days straight from the house to the slum… I finally collapse…

“Hey… He faint lets help him.”

“…Who…?”

It was Kail-nii whose age around 14-15 years old at that time and few other kids whose name I never get to know were carrying me and my little sister… “Don’t touch her…” is what I say back in time. “Don’t worry, you are both going to be okay.” A boy with cream-like hair a little older than me and younger than Kail says that.

And from then on, I live in the slum, I reject others that tries to get close with me because I was scared someone trying to hurt us. But this one time, I didn’t realize that I was stealing food from scary adult. Kail-nii hugs me that holding Eline in my arm. Even though, he tries to protect me, I kick him furiously but he never let the adult hurt us. Then, I realize, this guy can be trust… though I say that… He is kind, which is true, but he really just muscle brain.

Kail-nii always used to does thing in rush, but he always runs slowly from behind us after we ‘take’ things from shop. He always does that, and will get beating from the shop owner. Then we will make fun of him. At first I wonder why he does that, even though he is stronger than us and capable of running fast, now I know he does that so the shop owner would not be able to hurt us and us able to run safely.

If he runs while holding Eline, I would run not fast enough and would get caught by the adult. He couldn’t left Eline alone at the slum, and couldn’t steal many just by himself.  So his only option with his simple brain is to bring us three to steal and get beating from the adults.

But just ‘recently’, he always thinking and frown with little mumble can be heard. He used to make us things because his hand is ‘magical’ but never does that to sell or anything. But tonight, when Eline is sleeping and I pretend to sleep, he is making something like he used to make for us but even more grandiose. I couldn’t help it but ask him.

I saw rainbow feather, white fur and cotton, he makes something out of those into something that he called “keychain but without the chain” and it’s for sell …huh? What does that mean? I interpret it as toy perhaps I was wrong.

Either way, he is odd in character. When I thought he was just a muscle-brain, he shows his skill of arithmetic. 2 years ago, he used to kill who ever coming to bother us, and us [Eline and I], we are used to see blood splutter around him. But just by today morning, he…

“What did you do?! Damn it, Kurhaz! Fall back, lets go!”

“u-uh~ I’m not finish yet~ you have waste my time here let me at least severe that head of yours. Kids close your eyes.”

The thug was hit by the back of the wooden spear, and did we just hear something odd? Close our eyes? Uh...Sure. Perhaps it’s even more vulgar than anything he ever does before? Torture maybe?

“Yes Kail-nii sama.”

And thus we close our eyes, and when the sound of grunting stop, we peek but how surprising, the men did not die but full off dark bruise all over their body. From then on, I thought he become wiser at holding back so I kind of respect him even more now.

When he says to buy us cloth and lives in inn, I thought it was just his usual jokes, yet he show a bag to me to see huge amount of money inside his money bag, then I know that this man is not joking. I, Reno and especially Eline a girl are excited about it so I jump around him while Eline show joyful face to show we are happy.

When we buy our new set of cloth, he only buys one for him and wears it straight away. Though he looks cool that a lady would fall for him immediately, I still want to ask him to buy more for himself, but he refuses, saying that “one is enough for me for now.”

He always likes that, his motto is kind of like “I am happy if I can make others life better than mine.” Or “I won’t satisfy if you have fewer things than mine.” He always sacrifices many things for us. Like, one time, an adult friend of his [the inn owner] suggest that he enter the adventurer guild, but he refuses and keep living by the slum to take care of us. Then, he almost always, let us eats until we are full while he didn’t eat any. Even if we beg him to eat some, he wouldn’t eat any. He says it is good training for him, which is why even when we are at inn; he didn’t eat dinner with us.

Adding to that, this morning show more proof. Though he wise at getting discount, he still buy so many things till no money in his pocket. /(-_-)\ Most of the money he spent is for us. I don’t know arithmetic well but I know he spent a lots.

I want to be of help, I want to be strong to be able to protect Eline and myself when he might not be with us. I want to learn more things from him. No, its not I want… I will!
