Narrator's PoV
"Uncle,what do you think about that guy?"
"Miss,I am sorry.I can't answer that."
Both of them were talking each other on certain room in certain building.Viria then giggled and then said.
"Isn't he interesting,Uncle?"
Seeing her miss was like this,the butler said with concern.
"Miss,I must remind you about our family traditio-."
"Shut up."
Viria tone changed,her aura changed and make the butler frightened and suffocated. Viria then said while her eyes glaring at her butler.
"I know you are here by my father order,but let me remind you that I can kill you anytime I wanted."
"Miss,I am sorry for my rudeness."
"I will forgive you this time,now leave."
"I understand."
He bowed and then leave Viria alone. Viria then opened her windows and said.
"There is still time.I must found him by any means necessary. My king please wait for me."
Lux's PoV
"So..I understand why I must take care my body. I know I just discharged from hospital.But isn't this too much?"
I said that as I looking on the pil of mountain,For god sake...What is this mountain of food in front of me.I look toward my sister asking for help.But she only smile bitterly.
"It's not like you need to finish everything by yourself. You just need to eat certain amount of food,considering how little you eat before."
"Sis..."
That's not what I mean...
"WRONG!!!"
"Ouch!"
Iris suddenly hit my hands which handled spoon and fork poorly,She then correct my arm once again.
"Now continue to eat.."
"....Iris,is this important?"
"Chew properly."
Iris smack my head in response,Why?Why she so serious?Keuhk!!Is table manner that important?She then like read my mind then said.
"It's your own wish,Beside I am always like this lux. Once I set my mind,you can't do anything..now..Hold IT PROPERPLY!!!"
This is the first time I regret my action in my live. If I didn't said I want to learn table manner when Iris were around this won't happen. Well....I can only cry bitterly my head and learn properly as fast I could..Damn you muscle memory..
"Wrong!!!You do it like this!!!"
....
3 hours later.
"Good job lux!!!As expected of you!!!"
"....."
"C'mon,Don't pout like that..."
"Can you see I am reading?"
I said that as I rested on sofa ,while reading a book about medical knowledge.THe medical knowledge here are not so advanced compared to underworl,I guess I will visit underworld to buy book later.
"Lux,please don't be angry.After all it was your own choice.."
"Forget it,Now release your hands around me. I can't concentrate."
"EH!!!?"
Her face turns ugly,she obviously doesn't care much about my anger.After all she enjoying wrapping me in her ams around my neck from behind of the sofa..Though because of that I can't concetrate either...
"You think I don't know what you are thinking?"
"Hehe."
She Winked at me this time she sit beside me and then lean on my shoulder.Shen close her eyes and enjoying it..
"Iris!I can't concentrate.."
There is no response,I found her asleep peacefully.Sight..She is probably tired.After all she keep reprimanding me for 3 hours.Even thought I was kinda angry at her,But I know what she did before was for my sake. She know how hard to change someone habit's yet she do it without any grievances...
"Sorry Iris,I am to childish after all."
I said that as I turn one of my keychain into sheet then covered her with it,Then I close my book then turned it into keychain.
"Lux,I love you.I won't leave you alone again.."
"I know.I won't go anywhere,that's why be ease."
As She understand what I said,she smiled.I then closed my eyes and fall asleep.The next day I found myself covered by the sheet I used to cover iris with,and noticed someone already turned on the TV.It was iris,she was watching a tv program about cooking.My sister also there while said with hopeless smile..
"Just give up,your hands are destined to never cook in your live."
"No!!!!I will proof you I can cook!!"
"Sight,Said someone who are not able to cook instant noodles."
"uuu..at least my food not vanish like you!!."
"Vanish?Not able to cook instant noodles?"
Both of them turned their head toward me then they immediately said.
"Good morning ,lux."
If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
"Don't change the topic."
But in the end they didn't budge and I give up on that topic.Then I turned the channel into news ,soon iris's parent begin to wake up,while Iris brother's still sleeping in his own room.Iris's dad then said while yawning..
"Really,what's the loud noise on the morning.Ah a news."
"I will make simple breakfast,wait for me your mother cooking okay."
Iris's father then also sit and watch the news while Iris's mother prepare us a simple breakfast. My eyes are locked to the corner of news with my picture of me and my sister.I simply didn't understand what he is thinking to put up such missing poster on news.
"Lux,Don't be mistaken. This is just a trap..."
"I know."
Although I don' understand why he put me in the missing people category instead of criminal.Well it doesn't matter. My sister,obviously was shaken by this..She then shake her head and then said to me.
"Lux,I will take a bath first."
She hastily leave the room.Seeing this Iris's father can only said to me.
"That girl,she still love her father."
"I know uncle."
I said that without thinking ,seeing that Iris's father took the tv remote and turned it off.He then said nothing but then just read the newspaper. No matter how I turned it back,he kept turned it off .While on otherhand Iris only sighed then said.
"There is no meaning watching the news if you can't focus is what my father implying to you."
"I see,"
I said that as I turning on my phone while browsing the recent news.Iris then sighed again but didn't say anything. I then stand up and said.
"I am going to toilet for a moment."
"Oh,Ok."
Iris smiled bitterly before pat me in the back. On my way I noticed my sister just finished and was walking to her room ,I then said toward her.
"Sis,Let's talk for a moment."
She immediately agreed and then
"What do you want to talk about ?"
"About the news today,regarding our fath-.
Before I can finish my words my sister suddenly hugs me and she then said.
"Lux,you see the only regret in my live is not protecting you that day.I don't want to lose you anymore.."
"But sis.."
"It's fine,as long you are not hurt...It's fine. You are the only family I have. Please ,Lux."
.......I bit my owm lips,After a moment my sister leave and told me to take a bath before I eat breakfast.I..I hate it. I hate how powerless myself.I must be stronger,stronger!!!Without strength I can't protect anything!!!I can't even protect my sister smile!!!I know I am powerless,I know how dangerous is it to meet our parents,But...even so..I want my sister not regret anything.RIght now I can't give her that..
"Stronger,Much stronger."
3 hours later,While training with Iris and my sister.I notice my phone is ringing and asked them to stop the training. Both of iris and my sister sheathe her weapon ,they were obviously tired.After all we already fight 2 hours non-stop.
"Lux,just how strong are you?"
Iris said that as herself was covered with sweat.Even if she said that,I believe in term of swordmanship she is a lot better than me,In fact for her using 2 swords is already unnatural.She was really not normal at all,on otherhand my sister is bit weaker,but for talent she is better than me.Her arrow was too straight and too easy to read,but it's pretty normal since she never fight before..Regardless of that. I believe if they infuse their power to their weapon then it won't be easy victory for me. Since my power are usually non-combatant except the devil which can be only used sparingly...
"Stronger than you think,anyway both of you can have 1 hour break. I believe our talk will be very long."
I said that as I answer Viria call.Her voice then said with calmness.
"Do you want to hear good news first or bad news?"
"Bad news first."
"You failed."
"I see.Then the good news is?"
It still within my speculation and It's pretty normal. After all I am still to young to be highschool teacher.What I was surprised is the good news. I wonder what she mean by that.
"You passed,But it's middle school section."
"That's fine."
There was a bit regret,but she immediately conceal it as she said this.
"I am sorry,But this is the limit of I can help you. Even still,you are not depressed at all."
"It's still within my speculation. Anyway ,can you tell me more about this job?"
"Hahaha,You are so interesting lux. I will send you a document later please take a loot at it. Bye,my lovely little dragon.."
"He-."
She hung up,Iris suddenly appear beside me and then I see she was smiling but her face is distorted.
"Oho?,you are really good pickin on girl lux."
"Huh,what are you talking about?"
"...Uuuu,My little brother become playboy!!."
Cry of my sister,she was seriously crying.Wait?Where did I do wrong?As I try thinking a file was send ,it was information about all-girl school..That girl Livia,she did this on purpose didn't she?
"LUX!" X2
"It's not as you thi-."
But before I can say that the phone rang,this time it was from unknown number.I answer it and then I heard familiar's voice.
"Big brother lux."
"Grace,how do you know my number?"
"I get it from school,big brother lux what are you thinking?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Becoming teacher in all-girl school,no matter what I see it It's abnormal. Lux,do you hate me that much?"
"Of course not,I am not that petty. It's pure coincidence. After all I have didn't hold grudge againts you anymore."
Since my head will hurt if I did that,even though I didn't solve the mystery yet.I can say when I think about it ,my head always hurt,rather than hurting myself I will just forgive her and ends it. It's not like she kill my sister or something similar.Beside is it worth to hold grudge and destroy my head in pain?The answer is no. On the other side there was only silence ,but then grace said.
"Thank you,I will tell you everything later. That's why please wait."
"AH,he-."
She hung up.Damn it ,again?Sight,anyway Since we are in same school ,I probably can talk to her later. Thought I believe she is worth to trust. After all ,in the end I still didn't know why she leave suddenly.Not to mention,I believe for her to be able survive without anyone support are not different than me.
"I guess,I should treat her better?"
"...Lux,really..Just a day I leave you alone you get two girls?"
What is this intent?Why I felt fear from it?Her smile ,It's like a demon smile.She is laughing,but I know there was nothing funny and didn't understand why she is laughing.
"Um,What did I do wrong?"
She didn't say anything,but she obviously pissed off.My sister who on the side face also distorted and only smile at me then said?
"Playing with feeling is not good thing,That's why this big sister will teach you a lot of thing."
".."
No good,both of them are pissed off.There is one thing to do for this kind problem,waiting for both of them to cooldown. Which is why I have no choice,but running away.
"LUX!!!"
In the end I was chased for 4 hours before they calmed down and I explaining everything. But even then I still get lectured for running like that and I didn't do anything wrong.One of them is just business and One of them are at most little sister.Why I must get lectured to be cheating and playing with woman's heart?This world isn't fair!!
Narrator's PoV
Somewhere on apartment building,Viria was confronted by grace.
"Viria,what are you planning?"
"I didn't plan anything though?It was him who request me to be a teacher. That's why I get him a job on our school instead."
"Don't joke around!!!"
She said that as she slam the table.
"I already told you didn't I?If you hurt him ,I willl make you pay the price."
"Grace,But I didn't joke around.Indeed it was his own wishes."
"That doesn't make sense!!Big brother lux didn't even have basic education!!?Why he wish for this kind of job?"
"Do you really think so Grace?"
"What?"
"Do you know void grace?"
"...Yes,A genius of 12 years old who get a doctor license,blacksmith license and air craft license, There is rumor even said that he is considered master swordsmanship,shooting,and finaly martial art. He then suddenly vanished after learning air craft license and never show himself again in the world."
"I see,you did your homework.Then grace did you know what his biggest achievement is?"
Grace nodded and she replied to her even though she didn't understand why she asking so many question againts her.
"His medicine called as elixir are the only medicine that can cure anything. It can even cured missing limb and missing arm."
Viria then only giggiled at her answer and only said to grace.
"You still didn't realize?who is void grace is?He is someone you protect with all you have after all."
"Big brother lux?"
Graces said that as she was frozen ,she then immediately realized why she never find brother lux all this time.
"Don't tell me,brother lux is Void grace?"
"Well well Iris,Void grace are only his nicknames since he appears and help others people without any reason. it's also because he keep muttering your name and dissapear immediately after saying that."
"Big brother."
"Well it doesn't matter,But I believe with that kind of achievement. Teaching us should be easy,don't you think so?"
"Viria,you are enjoying this didn't you?"
"Why you said that,my cute little friend?"
"You are really enjoying it!!!!!This is why you don't have any friend."
Grace said that as she pouted and look away from Viria,on otherhand Viria only come over and then pat her head.
"The rest is your job.It's your live Grace."
"Viria,even though you said that. Your face tells me everything.You know you having fun with this.."
"Oh my,Is it that obvious."
Grace can only stare silently,but deep inside herself know what kind of baggage she carried at her back.So she can only pretend she saw nothing and said.
"But Thank you viria,for helping me.."
"Of course,you are my friend after all."
My only friend is what she though that as she smiled toward Grace.But they didn't know..their friendship never lasting forever.
