"Moving?"
I asked her again, while cooking our breakfast. In the end I ended up the one who cooks,since my sister decided to investigate Iris amazing 'talent'. Later on she give up and decided for Iris to never enter kitchen again.Right now Iris tell me she wanted us to move and return to her original hometown.
"Yes,it's located on otherside of earth. So your existence probably ignored,to begin with beside this country probably no one know about you."
"Well,Iris you know I don't have passport right?"
"Un."
"How I ride the plane there?"
"Don't worry about that lux,I have fake ID and passport for you.I will left it here,I need to prepare my suitcase after all."
Ah,think of it.My sister also begin to buy some clothes for herself,looks like she is planning to move too.Soon the breakfast finished,it was simple sandwitch filled with some egg and meat. At the same time my sister brought suitcase with her then sit on table.
"That's a lot."
Iris give a comment toward the suitcase that my sister brought with her.It's normal after all the suitcase my sister brought with her was twice of iris one,on otherhand I only bring a plastic bag with me. What a difference.My sister then replied.
"It's contain lux things too,unlike you I know what lux needed."
"Huh?" X2
Both of us surprised,then she open the suitcase opened.A set of clothes from formal clothes to even pajamas was in there. Even boots and pillow exist.Still there is one thing that bothered me the most. It was so strange that I am become speechless. Iris regain her composure then ask her.
"Just's to make sure.That is a lux doll right?"
"Huh?Yes.Isn't that obvious?"
"Sister mia...but that doll's is so worn out,why you didn't buy new one?"
After futher examination ,it is indeed worn out it's look like ten years old doll .Still somehow I feel sense of envy from Iris. Probably must be my imagination. Well It's normal for my sister to have doll,since she was child she indeed dote me. I then begin to drink my morning coffee while My sister proudly replied.
"It's handmade doll that lux made for me so I won't get lonely."
"COUGH!!"
I coughed and sprayed some coffee on floor.Damn it!!I forgot!!!Iris sandwich fall on floor and looked toward me with expression of disbelief. Somehow I feel jealously from Iris,but It's probably my imagination again. Still I need to stop her.
"Um,Sis. Why you have it with you?"
"Because I can't sleep without it."
Yep,I dig my own grave.Iris then stare at me as she can't believe it and her stare hurts.It's isn't my fault!!I must change the topic quickly.
"Um,Big sis can I ask you question?"
"Yes?"
"Why you suddenly decided to follow us to move?Didn't you have your mom to take care about?"
"Don't worry,She is fine. She is already cured and there is no danger to her live. Beside mom told me to take care of you. That's why there is no need to worry."
my sister smiled as she said that,but I know It is fake smile and she is lying. I don't know which part she is lying about,but It's better for me to stop my question her. She obviously didn't like it..I wonder what happened?At the same time Iris take out something on table.
"This is fake Id and fake passport for both of you.Please take look at it."
I nodded along with my sister and then see there is fake photo of mine and my sister. There is some random information too,but it wasn't differ much from us.The name but..
"Luxia Stellar."
"Mia Stellar."
My name was changed completely while my sister isn't.Somehow It's weird. The name feel so familiar,yet I can't remember where I see it. Probably my imagination.
"I am fine with mine,but isn't lux name bit to feminine?"
"It's fine,It's just name after all."
"Well,since both of you don't mind. Then let's go!!"
Iris stand up and prepare to go,but on otherhand my sister and me still have plate full of sandwich. Just when she eat the sandwich?We quickly devour our breakfast and ride taxi to the airport. The planes begin to take off at the same time. Somehow the journey is smooth..
"Wew,I never expect you are well versed art of disguise lux."
My sister said that in small voice that we only can hear.right now I was located on the most right side beside the window while Iris located in middle of us and was sleeping on my shoulder. My sister let her be,since she realized that Iris truly do a good work and let her do as she wishes.She still surprised thought that I can do a make up and disguise myself with it.
"It is necessary. After all I still need to fix my uniform and buying weapons. Without it,I can't do anything you know?"
It's more like precaution in underground world thought.I didn't want my identify to be known as pushover in underground.Then at the same time my sister look toward my glasses.
"That is for disguise too right?"
"Of course."
"kuh,kuh.. see am I useful right?"
Hear that voice I sighed,even now I don't know what this glasses power. I will ask the egg later. For now let's think about the time we have left.Since time didn't flow when we were in dungeon,it's save to say we have extra day before the raid. The raid supposed to start next week which was set after dungeon..if we want to survive we should start training soon and prepared for next dungeon's.
"Maybe I should made training regiments for Iris and my sister when we arrived."
Hearing this I noticed Iris shivered. She is probably cold ,I took out blanket that prepared and cover her with it.She then smiled while at the same my sister face become cold.
"There will be no next time."
?I don't understand why she said that towrd to Iris who is sleeping.After 4 hour iris wake up and It is my sister instead who go to sleep.After rubbing her eyes,Iris then said.
"Thanks for lending me your shoulder."
"It's fine,but you realize you are girl right?Don't you afraid of strange rumor pop out?"
"It is better if that happen."
"Iris,you should be careful you know?Girl's reputation is important treasure."
"Lux,you are so dense.C'mon realize it already."
"I don't know what you are talking about?"
"Uwa,I never expected you to be this dense. I mean isn't it very obvious."
Unauthorized use of content: if you find this story on Amazon, report the violation.
"Huh?"
I tilted my head in confussion,then iris whisped something in my ear.
"I love you obviously."
"Huh?You are joking right?"
"Heh..Why don't you think about it. Since childhood I always follow you around and don't you think it is weird why I so fixated on you?"
"um,to be honest I never think about it."
I mean have my focus on elsewhere.Iris then sighed and then said.
"Sight,you were really dense as brick."
"Haha.."
"I am not praising you."
"Yes."
I replied meekly.My sister when was kid often told me that,that's why to be safe from kidnapper(?) my sister always go out with me.I don't know why she hate girl around her age thought and often mad at me when I played with them. She probably think I am rather girlish for being boy around my age.Well Because of that I don't understand romantic feeling at all not to mention after that I was punished for being traitor and I don't have time for that kind of thing.
"Anyway,what's is your answer?"
"Pardon?"
"Your answer me to my confession. Yes or no?"
"..."
She look toward my eyes and her eyes convey that she will cry if I answer with no.Even if I don't mind my reputation get worse but I am more afraid of her family. Her family maybe looks normal outside,but inside it isn't normal at all.Her father is former king soldier,while her known as the strongest police instructor. Her brother may looks not special,but in fact he was the strongest out there.He is famous for defeating all military instructor and his fellow rival with sheer force. I never knows that the man that often pass him manga when I was child will be this strong..Well it doesn't matter anymore.If I reject her ,I will be dead for sure.Thought after I think about it. I never hate her,and I don't mind be with her. It just..
"Iris,you realized right.Your live will be full danger by stay with me?"
"I know,but at least it's better than me marry with some random guy I never met. What's a little danger can do anyway."
"Still.."
"Listen lux,you may think yourself are not worthy or something similar. I know you think yourself is not human being. But to me it doesn't matter,I always think yourself as human being and it is the same for your sister. It doesn't matter what the world think you as,What's important is someone dear you think!That's why Stop to put yourself on short end of the stick.Think about yourself more!"
"Iris."
"The reason why I am angry at you because I know you never think about yourself. I am happy that you care about me and at the same I am sad because of it.Do you think you will be happy if your loved one get hurt because of you?"
"I.."
I never think about it.I always think as long you are safe ,It doesn't matter to me. Only know I understand I am wrong.I want to say sorry,but Iris only smiled.
"That's why,It's fine lux.We will never leave you again."
"..Yes.Thank you Iris."
"It's fine,so what is your answer lux?"
"Iris,I want you to understand. I am not in love with you nor I understand what is love. But If you are fine with me regardless of that and my shortcoming.I am willing to be with you until I can say yes toward your confession."
This is my honest feeling,Iris only smiled and begin to tease me..
"Lux,don't worry your answer is satisfactory. That's why -"
She move her face toward me..and said..
"Kiss me,if you kiss me you will understand more about love."
Before I can do anything,my sister with rope in her hands pull Iris away with me,then she switched her seat with Iris instantly. Everything happened so fast that I can't say anything.Then my sister said.
"Lux remember all girls are predator.That's why please be more careful especially around Iris. If she gets you,you will devour you without bone left."
"Huh?."
"Just do as your sister said,you already made a good decision to hold the answer."
"Huh ?what?"
I don't understand anything,but my sister sighed and then pat my head twice. Looks like she is listening from beginning.Of course they begin to arguing in the language I don't understand..Soon their fight begin heated up and more more people pay attention to us. Somewhat I have feeling they will become legend. After a;; they fighting with their mouth 9 hour straight and only stop when the planes arrives on its destination. I am speechless beyond words watching all of thisof course. Right now we were on airport entrance waiting for Iris's brother to pick us up.
"That's weird,big brother is late."
Iris is confused.After All of us know he is not the type of person to be late,
"Maybe because there was a traffic?"
Nee-san said that in response,but she herself wasn't sure about it.
"Nah,that's impossible.I already check about it,there is no traffic nearby.Beside my brother will tell us if he will be late."
Iris said that to me,but I look around and notice there was group of crowd across of us.Slowly It's getting bigger.
"Iris is your brother famous?"
"?Of course not."
"Protect our lugagge,I will check the crowd over there. Maybe it is your brother."
I then move toward it and know there is 2 people arguing.I fit throught the crowd and have myself just right in front of of the crowd.I see Iris's brother was arguing with someone.
"I told you ,that I didn't know the man named lux didn't I?please understand,I come here only to pick my family."
"Please let me meet him once!!Just once!This is urgent!!"
"Listen little girl,It's not like I don't want to help you.It just I don't know who he is."
Iris's brother obviously lying,looks like he is become alert because the girl's in front of him. The girl that he is talking to have golden hair and golden eyes with air of nobility around her.Yet what surprised me she was awakened and There is hidden bodyguard mixed in the crowd. Iris's brother obviously know this,that's why he try to leave in peaceful mean.It's too risky to make enemy without reason .At the same I get the gist of situation ,he looked toward me and smiled.He then waved his hand toward me and then said to the girl..
"Sorry miss can we talk later?I have my little brother waiting for me."
"Little brother?"
"Yes,you see the guy over there?He is my little brother."
Iris's brother looks toward me ,The golden haired girl also turn around and looked at me. Her eyes immediately locked towards me she then moved toward me and try grab my hand. But I reflectively dodge and move aside. When she saw this she bit her lips and have lingering sadness in her eyes.
"I ..I finally found you."
"?"
"Lux,will you mind having dinner with me?"
The crowd suddenly started shouting and was overal shocked.While I was thinking her first sentence..That doesn't make sense.Regardless of that I have no reason to accept her invitation.
"No,I don't have time."
Hearing refusal the crowd of people become wild. I ignored them thought and then said.
"Let's go brother jin,Iris is waiting for you."
"Ah,yes."
Looks brother jin itself also shocked,suddenly someone grabbed my shoulder.I give it a glance and It's random guy and looks super pissed.
"There is no one reject miss invitation ,and you are no exception!!!"
"I already said I don't have time didn't I?"
"Regardless of you having time or not,this is miss order!!If you don't want to get hurt then accept miss invitat-."
"Hey hey no one threatened my little brother,look dude. Can we solve this peacefully?'
Iris's brother suddenly cut between of us,he is very pissed somehow.Still he doesn't change that much,his fist already landed at the black suit guy stomach.Cheap as ever. The black suit guy then fall on his knees and Iris brother only said.
"Oh your stomach hurt?Dude you must go to toilet first!Don't worry we will wait here !!"
He said that as he walk away.Shameless.Well It's solve the problem at least,I thought that as I followed him go throught the crowd.
"Lux!!!please wait."
"Little brother leave it,if you keep listening it will be endless."
Iris's brother said that and the crowd begin to look at him menacingly,looks like he himself underestimate the golden haired girl. Just who is she anyway?Why she is so popular that people gather around her?And ..Why she know me?
"Lux!!It's me the little girl that you saved 5 years ago!!!
"I don't know what you are talking about."
"Do you really forget about me?"
"Don't bother me,I have no time for joke."
I switch the to the devil and use the pressure to shut everyone up,Iris's brother on otherhand also pressured. The crowd immediately dispersed ,I then switch back to the fools and said to Iris's brother.
"Let's go,Iris waiting for us."
"Heh,you sure grow a lot. Lux."
Iris's brother said that as he slap my back,I only glare at him and he only laughed it off,It's bit painful. After that we ride the car that Iris's brother prepared and was on our way to Iris's parent's home where we stay for a while.On our way Iris's brother explain why he is late.
"So basically It was your fault."
"It's not,Who will ever thought me searching for a connection for mobile game ended up like that!"
"If you just stay put for 10 minutes,It won't happen.Not to mention your phone battery run out as soon as we arrive thanks to mobile games of yours."
"Geez,sorry. I mean It's ranked match and my hand is itch to play."
"Sight,brother jin your misfortune is really number one.Also brother jin just who the girls you talking too?"
"I don't know that much,supposedly she was famous for something.Her name is gracia something.."
"Gracia?"
"Does she have golden hair and golden eyes?"
My sister interjected ,she probably realized the girl indentify. She was one of the most famous people in the world anyway.
"Yes,How did you know about that?"
Iris's brother replied,maybe for guy like him he never see gracia. But for normal girl like My sister and Iris,they at least know her face.
"You mean the famous singer?The singer that said able to rejuvenate the whole country by singing?"
Iris then realized the golden haired girl was the awakened people that recognized by public. She was often moving country to another country because her singing able to make everyone happy. She was known as goddess of music and have highest position in music industry.The reason why she was so popular wasn't because of that thought..
"If I remember right,the girl is famous for saving the bank with her awakened ability. I never expect that you know about her lux."
"I don't know her."
"Really?Then why you use your ability to scare her off?"
".."
"Let's stop it.Since lux don't want to say it,we should drop off that topic."
My big sister said that as she realized I didn't want to dwell on this topic any longer.Hearing that,Iris's brother said.
"Ah,Iris. I forgot to tell you."
"What's wrong brother jin?"
"Dad is home."
"...Turn back."
"Iris,don't ask the impossible."
"TURN AROUND!!!THAT DAMN OLD MAN GOING TO KILL ME!!!"
Iris panicked ,while Iris's brother only sighing. My sister titled her head ,while I realized why Iris doesn't like her father.Well,her father is kind of person that show her childhood photos to every Iris's friend and boast how cute and adorable she is.I understand why Iris doesn't want to go home now. Also the reason why Iris's brother only tell her now..He basically liked her sister to tease her sister. He probably run out of teasing material..that's why he did this on purpose.No wonder Iris go to overseas just for study.Still..
Gracia is here,I should change my disguise and improved it.y I pray to the god so we won't meet again.yet the god decided make us meet again.Why I must meet the person I absolutely hate?
