Hey~ new chapter is here!
Sorry fo taking so long.....
I just get stuck for some day...in place without signal and wifi...(TT_TT)
I just got back yesterday night....
=======================================
Back when I'm still middle school kid, my parent were busy with their own work. As the eldest son, I act as a parent for my siblings. I would accompany them to 'play house', cooks their food, pick them up from school and etc.
"I will marry onii-chan when I grown up!"
They were so freaking cute back then, saying those things while glued toward me, I really happy and take pride in my role.
"I'm become ●●●-sensei's lover!"
My little sister told me that right when I pick her up at kindergarden, while being princess carry by good-looking teacher. My eyes grow wide a moment for sudden remark. Now I know how a father's feels when they daughter suddenly get back home with a man and say,
"Father, I want to marry this man"
I dislike to pry on other's private life, but if it about my little sister, then it another story. At that time, I'm just a middle school kid who's take his pride and role as older brother seriously . While holding my sister's hand, I looked at the teacher in the eyes and smile sweetly.
"....●●●-sensei isn't it? May I know your future plan?"
"Eh?"
"I know my sister is still a little, and she quite selfish for her age but she's a good girl"
"Ah, yes, she's a sweet girl indeed"
He take a glance at my sister and smile warmly. He is handsome......I hope one day there will be a great deases that struck bishounen only and annihilate them.
*cough*
I clear my throat as looked at him.
"I don't have any prejudge toward couple with big age gap, after all, people have their own preference"
"..Huh?"
"But can you wait until my sister turn 16 to date her? I don't want my sister's boyfriend arrested by child protection service and bad rumour certainly will fly around if you date her now. I will consult this matter with my parent when they gets home"
"W-wait, □□□□-kun! It's not like that! We're just playing around"
The teacher look agitated. It might be because I often watched afternoon drama with my sisters or may be, I just want to looked reliable in front of my sister, so I took their words seriously.
"!? You just play around with my sister?! Have you even considering her feeling?"
"N-no! Wait! It's just a misunderstanding!"
.......when I'm a junior highschool, I often regret my conversation back then. Luckily, my sister doesn't remember that embarrassing incident.
".....Rune?"(Kiel)
"Ah?!"(Rune)
I just get myself back from those flashback. Under a dim light, in our room, I'm sitting at Kiel's lap, it become habit lately.
I'm supposed to go to North kingdom, but not until I reach desireble level. Unlike me, Kiel will depart with William group next week, so she want to spend the remaining days with me.
"so, that's how I get this gloves from master!"(Kiel)
Recently, Kiel like to talk about her master, aka Arke, She call him that secretly. She looked very happy while showing off her new gloves. It made out dark lizard's skin and decorated with sculpted white melrg's fangs. It suits her.
"I really hesitate whenever put master as your group or not, I'm sure you'll be safe with him since master is very strong!"(Kiel)
"Then, why don't you put us in group?"(Rune)
Actually, I already know why.
"....I don't want you to like him"(Kiel)
There! I knew she like him! Ahh, this is why I suddenly remembering my sister and her teacher.
"I-i mean, it's not like I want you to hate him either! I just don't want you to like him more than liking me!"(Kiel)
"....un, I undestand, whatever happen, I wouldn't like him more than I like you"(Rune)
Although I feel little lonely because the girl whose just proposed to me a month ago suddenly interested in another guy, I will support your love!
It's a good thing that I made her to propose again when I'm an adult. I mean, now she's interested in other man right? And it turn out that she doesn't really now what marriage is...she thought
Marriage=together forever
When she understand, we will look back and laugh about our silliness, or If she too embarrassed, I will pretend to forget about it.
"...I really don't want to be apart from you...do you really have to go?"(Kiel)
"I'm sorry Kiel, but this is really important for me"(Rune)
To secure the 'good end'!
"......more important than me?"(Kiel)
"Well, it important for our future, if I miss it, we might be apart forever"(Rune)
Yeah, I wouldn't know what will happen if we go to the 'bad end', but there will be war every where, those aside from human race will fall into slavery for sure.
"For....our...future....I see!"(Kiel)
Somehow her voice become cheerful as she hug me.
"I will also work hard for 'our future'! Don't forget to contact me! If there any weird man getting close to you, tell me their name or description!"(Kiel)
"..what for?"(Rune)
I simply can't imagine what will she do to them. You not gonna hunt them down would you? My word stuck on my throat.
"I will curse them down!"(Kiel)
C-curse?! You can curse people?!
"William will teach me how! Isn't he awesome?!"(Kiel)
Wiliaamm! What are you intend to teach herrrr!? I will protest! I will protest to Shena about this!
"Nothing could be done, reasonable talk won't work with unreasonable guy"(Shena)
Rejected! Right in the morning!
"Why don't you talk with Cordelia, she's the only one who can deal with that guy"(Shena)
"Okay! I will do that!"(Rune)
Just when I'm about run out from her office, Shena suddenly stop me.
"Rune, regarding your travel to North continent...."(Shena)
"Yes?"(Rune)
"I've already send the letter to my friends concerning the sword"(Shena)
Back in the heroes era, just like typical fantasy stories, there are demon lord and heroes from another world.
[Sword of Anli]
One of seven legendary weapon that have been used by the hero. Blessed by God of Fire, Anli, this sword can turn your enemy into ashes.
The genuine version of this novel can be found on another site. Support the author by reading it there.
After 400 years passed, demon are no longer enemy for other race while some people still have prejudge toward demon but it not as bad as before. [The Sword of Anli] are sacred treasure for Decan tribe, Decan is the name of one of the hero from heroes era. Although he is a demon race, he become hero's friend through battle. With a great sense of justice, he believe human and demon can be friends. Some demon consider him as traitor, some call him a hero. Back then, those who consider him as hero were banish from the city, they start their own live far from society and that's how Decan tribe arise. For many years, they lives together with their hero secluded from other demon in peace, some says they are descendant of Decan's bloodline. As their hero died, some people try to get their hand of Decan's sword. To prevent that, Decan tribe have role as guardian of the sacred sword. As they have long banish and secluded from society, no one knows where the tribe located.
Well, not until seven years ago. Arke is the only survivor of Decan tribe. That is why not many people surprised of Kiel's appearance. If you comparing between Arke and Kiel existence, it the same thing as comparing existence of dodo bird and snow leopard....I think?
Seven years ago, an army found and attacked Decan tribe, they took the sacred sword with them. If I'm not wrong, a year after the attack, Ranbert ascend the throne.
Only Arke survived thanks to his father and brother whose push him inside a draw well to hide. For days, small Arke dug grave for each of his friends and family, forget to eat or sleep. That's when Shena found him. At first, Shena still can't connect any reason why or who is the perpetrator. But, after hearing my story, there are possibility that Ranbert are the culprit.
Firstly, the timing of his ascend the throne and the time when Decan's tribe annihilation are only a year apart, the exact time you need to travel back and front between Darajuu kingdom and Decan's village.
Secondly, news about the royal family's death. They said it an assassin from another kingdom, but an investigation never be done.
Thirdly, the plan on taking over the world, well, just like typical villian. You wouldn't done something as unreasonable as that, either you're just a simple ignorant or you have a power to do so.
Along with her investigation, Shena is convinced about Ranbert as the culprit.
He already possess [Sword of Anli] , they're six left. From what Shena found, he planned to gather each of it. Well, he do have impressive weapon when I fought him in the game. Who knew those weapon are legendary weapon.
So, to secure the good end, Shena planned to switch those weapon with a fake. She contact her friends to make a fake one. There are some picture of those legendary weapon and what kind of power it hold in Syl's books. We will make the exact same but with less power than the original. The weapon will have the same name, if you have a high level [Appraisal] skill, the name will be 《fake》[Sword of Anli]. But those with [Appraisal] skill are rare, most people have [Analyzing Eyes], that is because [Appraisal] skill can only be obtain after [Analyzing Eyes] evolve in certain point. While [Analyzing Eyes] can analyze mostly the outher layer, [Appraisal] skill allow you to look deeper to the object. For example, with [Analyzing Eyes], I can only see people window status down to their HP and MP, [Appraisal] skill allow me to looked deeper down to their title.
They said, one of the ancient hero have [Appraisal] skill evolve into something more. He can see into the tiniest essence of every object, like how many percentage oxygen in the air and such.
That must be tiring....
"They already set the preparation in making those weapon, but they need to see the power of the real one to create a perfect fake. You'll have to bring them along in your travel"(Shena)
"Uh, how many are they?"(Rune)
If there to many people, won't it attract people's attention? More over, I'll have to travel across the beast continent, I don't want to attract my brother attention.
"There only two of them and one person to guide you. You'll meet them at the beast continent's border line....I hope he's there"(Shena)
"Wait, what do you mean 'I hope he's there'?! "(Rune)
"....uh...this guide, he's a very excellent guide. No one's knows North continent better than he is. The problem is...he's to easily distracted...especially if it's about food..."(Shena)
"Huh?"(Rune)
"...well, you're going to undestand when you meet him."(Shena)
Somehow Shena looked pretty tired the moment she talking about this person.
As I walk out from the main building, I meet Cordelia and talk to her about Kiel and William.
"Don't worry, I will stop him if he start to act unreasonable"(Cordelia)
That's what she say, but she's averting her eyes!
"....I'm sorry, he's unstoppable when he's interested in something....but I'll do my best to prevent anything bad! If thing getting worse...I promise to teach Kiel proper common sense"(Cordelia)
Common sense?! Just how bad this William guy is?! Now I'm entirely worried!
I meet Kiel on the way back home. Arke is patting her head. Look at that, she's shyly looking down.... Kiel looking cute like that....
"! Rune!"(Kiel)
She found me...sorry for ruining your moment, really...
"Hey, Kiel...and Arke..."(Rune)
Kiel instantly hug me and Arke just smile at my greeting.
"I miss you so much!"(Kiel)
Really?! We just been apart for a few hours!
"We....still have...training to do...."(Arke)
"Uh....alright..."(Kiel)
And just like that, with reluctant face, Kiel letting me go. It's really a rare sight, seeing Kiel docile toward Arke.... she usually obedient only to me.....
.....I'm feeling a little lonely....
