《Kail's Life of Adventure [dropped]》


 Chapter 1: My name is Kail.

    Chapter 1: My name is Kail.


    ¡°[Yawn]~~~~~hmm¡­ urgh¡­ headache~¡±


    ¡°Senpai, the document here need to be finish within ** this duration. Vice-chief wanted to see it within *** with full details for manga ****. Where should I put it?¡±


    ¡°! What?! More document? Urgh¡­ just put it right there¡­ I¡¯ll check it out soon. Does manga **** doing okay with the references that I give week ago?¡±


    ¡°They say it is fine, but perhaps another sample will make it much better.¡±


    ¡°Tell them, ¡®I have none other than that.¡¯¡±


    ¡°Alright, senpai¡­ you should really work a bit faster this time, or you are not going to finish them in time.¡±


    ¡°-Sigh-...¡±


    As I thought, working at XXX Manga Company, in the Editing department seriously not good for me that work slowly on things. By the way, my name is Tanaka Daiki. My only sibling is an older sister a single mother, with only one son as my nephew, my sister is a year older than me and I am as a single bachelor at age 23. Parent? No, I don¡¯t have any since I was in 3<sup>rd</sup> grade.


    Experience love 2-3 times? But not really successful because I like to take it slows and easy at almost everything since I am a man who plans first. Seriously, can¡¯t understand maiden heart nowadays. They like things fast, frequent and complicated. After 3<sup>rd</sup> time, failing in relationship, I didn¡¯t get into relationship anymore even though my face can be count as good looking. My kouhai and friends says ¡®You are idiot¡¯ because they are jealous to see that my exes is pretty. Really¡­ single is better for me, but for some guy out there, they might be cursing me a lot.


    Put those things aside, I need to finish my work within this week or I got no holiday at all this weekend. I need to watch Magic Ranger Rider with my little nephew. Why? Because I especially loves kid and heroes, of course! Adding to that is the reason why I a graduate from Art and Design University working as chief-assistant in editing department at not so big manga company. There are many manga about Heroes~ and I love reading them [for free]. That is why I didn¡¯t work else where than this small company.


    Other than capable in art and design, I can be considers as a talented person with wide information, especially when one of the author or the manga artist rushing in needs of material for their work. I can show them the sample, info or anything that they need within my hand reach, just like most of the document next to me is requesting for sample for their project.


    Somehow, I can draw well, the background, the character, make various story but can never seem to finish my work, so I gave up upon being a mangaka. I do write novel in my free times, rather than novel¡­ it is more to a detailed plan of story, conclusion is I failed yet again¡­


    My senpai once advice me, if only I work things faster, I can help the company getting bigger and being head-chief is possible. I don¡¯t have any intention to be one though and my wages right now is enough for me to live as a single bachelor and sometimes when I get bonus, even I can bring my sister and her family to a vacation.


    Living an honest ordinary life, nothing to be proud or sad at. My happy times are weekend with my nephew watching heroes¡¯ series. Everything went well~


    Or so, I thought.


    ¡­¡­¡­.


    ¡­¡­


    ¡­


    I didn¡¯t notice when or what happen. But I seem to be sitting at unfamiliar place. Which seems similar to a dark corner of the street? Look like a Slum of the manga that a mangaka recently ask for the slum sample? The sky is mysteriously red and orange. Rather than that, next to me are two really dirty brats. One is a boy with blond hair with light blue eyes around age 10-11? Another is silver haired girl with red ruby eyes around age 5-6 lying on the boy¡¯s lap.


    Suddenly a sharp pain stung inside my brain and I let out huge growl.


    ¡°Urgh¡­grrr¡­¡±


    ¡°b-brother?¡­¡±


    Picture¡­ no, its memories¡­ Stop it, stop it. It keeps flooding inside my brain. Who? What? Urgh, stop it!


    ¡°Brother Kail?l!!¡±


    ¡°!... Reno? Eline?¡±


    I glance toward the two brats, the boy called out for a name which seems to be mine.


    ¡°Are you alright? Eline is sick, so don¡¯t get sick on me too¡­ I can¡¯t hold anymore than this¡­¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s alright, I just got small headache just now. Probably from the previous beating by the shopkeeper.¡±


    ¡°Ah~ Haha, that one is your fault for running so slow.¡±


    ¡°yeah~ yeah¡±


    ¡°Cough. Cough. Reno-nii¡­ Kail-nii¡­ w-water¡­¡±


    ¡°Eline?! Ah wait, I¡¯ll get it from the well, Brother Kail, please take care of Eline for me.¡±


    ¡°Sure. Go ahead. I¡¯ll guard her.¡±


    Just like that, the little boy went to fill water into his small goat¡¯s skin water pouch while Eline sleep on my lap. It was something that previous ¡®Kail¡¯ makes. I need to review the memories¡­ Although I am calm, I still confused at what happen to me. Without knowing why or how it happened, I only know what is going on around.


    I was incarnated into a human-being name Kail in a world total different than the ¡®Earth¡¯ that I know of.


    My name is Kail, has no surname, age 18 at current, and was thrown to the slum at the age 4 or 5 by a man? Survive by stealing and hunting beast at the nearby forest for through out my life. I am the eldest out of the entire children in the slum. About that, I need to say few things.


    There were once around 7 of us the children of the slums. 3 dead as they got killed by the adult¡¯s drunkard lingering at the slums, tremendous hunger and common sickness ¡°cold¡±. One adopted by aristocrat family for his outstanding ability in magic. Left us three, previous ¡®me¡¯ muscle-brain Kail, Not so strong Reno and sick Eline.


    Another important thing to be mention, there is magic around here!!! Whee~ banzai for parallel world. My self is an element of earth which pretty common around here. Reno is water but since his magic power or energy is too low, though it is possible to gather water from around using magic, he still unable to make his own water.


    Eline here is still unknown element. But I¡¯m sure her is something special. Our element is based on our eyes or sometimes hair. My eyes in another sense are weird. Actually my hair too, I got black hair and black eyes, so I thought perhaps my element is darkness but it wasn¡¯t.


    Here norm hair is brown, blond and surprisingly, black is not that rare~ frequently in the manga about the parallel world or something about reincarnation, black is bad omen or really unusual to see. But my own self is considered as special, because I have an element.


    People of the black hair really have no ability to do magic for they have no element. They themselves is super strong at brute force making those careless at learning magic an easy target even if they are High Wizard, they can be killed by those Element less brat.


    Magic here is surprisingly easy. Incantation is needed for far/wide-range but for something within your range-view needed only your imagination and of course, magic power. If, your magic power is low; your magic won¡¯t reach your expectation. But there is one case if one were to force it; you will die as the magic vessel explodes inside your body.


    There also something called as skill, nothing special. Divided into category offensive, defensive, blessing, passive and active, it is something that written inside magic book for the name of the type of magic you create. Magic book is something rich people can afford by spends little gold. It is useless in my point of views since imagination is basic for me a Manga Assistant! Banzai for the previous life knowledge!!


    ¡°¡­il¡­ Brother KAIL!¡±


    ¡°Huh!? Ah¡­ Reno?¡±


    When I was thinking about important things, Reno shouts out my name and waves his hand front of my face.


    ¡°Hey, how could you space out? Eline here in needed of help you know?¡±


    Then I look down to my lap and saw Eline keep coughing. (My bad¡­)


    ¡°Ah¡­ sorry, sorry, I was thinking of something.¡±


    ¡°hm? What is it? Better be important or you will be the one on duty to take water for Eline starting tomorrow.¡±


    Want to threat the great me? fufufu, you are still young Reno~


    ¡°Eh~~? Don¡¯t want to~ your element suit better to do it. Leave it at that, I plan on a leave soon.¡±The author''s narrative has been misappropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    ¡°EH??? Br¡ªBrother! Please, Ah no, I was joking when I say you will be the---¡±


    Ah, I need to stop the teasing now is what I thought then I cut him before he even finish his word.


    ¡°Baka. I¡¯m not planning on leaving you two alone here. I plan on taking you two with me but that going to take some time. I need to prepare few things before the journey.¡±


    ¡°E¡ªeh? Where to?¡±


    ¡°About that I¡¯ll think about it, for now prepare for sleep. It¡¯s going to be night soon.¡±


    ¡°¡­Sure¡­ (Onii-san sure is strange...)¡±


    The little blond hair boy unwillingly does as I order. I thought I heard him muttering something but oh well.


    He takes out several cardboard, the piece of paper for himself and ragged cloth for Eline. Reno gets the cardboard, Eline sleep by my lap while I am sleep-sitting. This is how we sleep for several years in the slum. Make me remember back in times when we (the old Kail) first met, Eline was so small in her brother¡¯s arm, Reno at age 5-6 with cold eyes refusing anyone that get close to him. He even kick furiously at me when I hug him to protect him from the gangster that trying to hurt him and Eline that a baby that time.


    From then on, he especially closes with me. He has good feature for his face as so as Eline. Only their face confirming that they are indeed siblings but their personalities is polar opposite.


    Enough about that, the plan to leave the Slum need to be revised. First thing first, here is a town named as Greenwell ruled by a certain aristocrat. Greenwell is just a small town in the Grecirea Kingdom. Near to Greenwell forest divided by river is huge dark forest which only merchant with guard and adventurer dares to enter and Dark Forest which means full of beast and monster that not a normal person can lives there. The other kingdom that surround the dark forest is separated with few extreme climate region govern by a being called Demon King or Demon Emperor.


    There also those that govern the sky and undersea. But that¡¯s not somewhere that a human can call living. The other kingdom is no different with here, so living in a kingdom govern by human is not going to make my life any better. Adding to that, we can¡¯t afford to survey any other town. So, Dark Forest is our only possible destination to live an honest life.


    There are few reasons for why I want to leave this place. I¡¯m truthfully tired of stealing. Eat something that you steal even if it was something you got from using your own effort, still leave bad aftertaste to your soul. But! That is just an excuse to Kail previous self even though the fact is true.


    The real reason is I am a world traveler! To know about the exciting thing of the parallel world, is a pleasure to any world traveler. Then, Dark Forest as my destination has it own reason too. I like to fight. Though it not obvious in the previous world, I was quite delinquent back in school days but wasn¡¯t known to other because of trick. I do kind of well but not excellent in academic and sport. Never had absent record, but after school, I fight lot and lot thugs over my age.


    I lose count to the win and lost, ah¡­ but worry not, I have no enemy. The entire thugs settle in as I say ¡®I wish to have a one-on-one duel. If either I or you lose, this is an honest fight, I have no complains.¡¯ Though they are muscle brain, they are not idiotic enough to gang up on me. Plus, they all know I fight not for fame or power, I fight for interest. I also never mention to other that I win over thug, because I respect their way of fighting. So, they kind of respect me too.


    However, there is one time when I almost die, chased by Yakuza group. They even search for me at my house, because I end up beat their member. Although¡­ They did not search me to beat me up; they search me to make me join them¡­ I seriously don¡¯t want to!


    They gave up after 3 month chase after me; perhaps I wasn¡¯t that of use after all¡­ But the fact that I beat someone from their top strongest members is what caught their interest. Still, even with that, no one knows that I am strong. When going to school, I was late than usual, but I got off with saying I was staying at my cousin place because my sister is out to study at another country for a year. I was late because I use a hidden route [sewer] then wash my self at public toilet; wear school uniform then goes to school.


    Any way, I am proven to be strong and I like to fight which is why I choose Dark Forest. The honest living is just an excuse! That¡¯s it. End of ¡®my¡¯ story.


    Destination is grasped, now the preparation. I need to buy few things but first, I need money. In the past, when I (old Kail) was a kid the uncle in the inn once explains to me the money [while punishing] and its value. So if I compared it to Japan yen value¡­


    Money here to be compared with the previous world value is, a black coin is equal to 100 yen, a copper coin equal to 1000 yen, a quartos which is small silver coin is 2500 yen, normal size silver coin is 10,000 yen, a gold coin is 100,000 yen, there is one special coin called light coin which is white gold coin, 1 000,000 yen.


    Those coins are commonly use in this world and there are some special type of money such as; Cleretic Gem, red colored glows crystal, value is 10,000,000. Rianteric Gem, rainbow colored glows crystal, value as 100,000,000. Those crystal used only by the king or those rule a kingdom want to trade for something worth it values like refusing the war.


    Now, about how to obtain the money¡­


    As a slum child, it is not possible to work normally as we were seen as trash of the publics, which doesn¡¯t really affect me in anyways.


    I have planned it out, first, I hunt few beasts at the small forest near to the Dark forest, which previous Kail frequently does in the morning when Eline doesn¡¯t get cold or fever. Then I should disassemble the part like horn and skin to be sold to the trader. I am quite confident about this; considering it is because of Kail previous self is muscle-brain that this body is skilled at hunting and dismantling, but he was stupidly giving it for free to the trader nearby as ¡®he¡¯ see no need for it. But now I can sell it for money.


    Then sure, I will keep doing this for few days could have bought few live necessity, Eline medicines, our weapon and armor. Sure enough, but at the same times I need to increase my knowledge which mean I need books. I¡¯m sure there is a book about the Dark Forest environment, plant, beast and monster that I can learn about. I am confident at my magic [imagination] and my brute strength to protect the two brats, but I cannot do anything toward something I don¡¯t know about. Such as poison, unusual monster or anything unknown to me.


    If I recalled it nicely, common books here cost around 5 to 10++ copper coins. Expensive, right? But I¡¯ll do enough with the hunt, low quality antelope horn can be sell around 2 to 3 quartos and the animal skin can be sell around 7 copper coin according to the size. If I hunt something like rabbit or furry animal, I can make accessory of their fur. Then at least I can sell them around 3-5 black coins each.


    Previous ¡®me¡¯ always do it for Eline and another two girls that is now dead. So I kind of skilled at crafting. Hmm, surprisingly, I kind of those common main character in the manga that skilled at fighting, hunting, crafting, magic and blah blah blah but without cheat¡­ Or can this be considered as cheat? ¡­ anything is fine, I just like to play heroes~ so this is good for me, plus the brats is kind of like my little nephew that always playing with me. I am truly grateful for this.


    ¡°..mmh¡­ no¡­ -sobs- no¡­¡±


    Oh¡­ Eline seems to have a bad dream¡­


    ¡°There~ there¡­ it¡¯s alright, I am here, Eline~ sweet dream now, and I will make you both happy soon.¡±


    ¡°mmgh¡­ hmm¡­ zzz¡­¡±


    ¡°haha, so cute¡­¡±


    Haah¡­ I really should help them out, I wonder if Reno would agree to it with this plan of mine. Let¡¯s sleep for now and head out early tomorrow¡­


    ¡­¡­¡­


    ¡­¡­


    ¡­


    ¡°Reno¡­ Reno¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­? Kail-nii? What is it, I¡¯m still tired¡­ -yawn-~~¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m going to the Clam Forest, so you should stay up guard for Eline. I¡¯ll bring something good for you too.¡±


    ¡°¡­ -glance- hmm, okay.¡±


    As he glances toward Eline, he agrees to it. With that, I quickly carry my self made basket, rope; grip a small knife and addition with a water pouch at my rear.


    This is my usual hunting set, wooden basket, rope, small knife and water pouch. So I head toward east where the gate separates the town from the Clam forest. There are few guards standing at the gate.


    Like I thought they would, they look down on me like I am trash or shit. Still, I used to live in Japan where everybody lives nicely without look down at people for being born dirty [illegally] or something.


    Moreover, Japanese or almost everyone in the earth even pity on those orphans. Here, there is an institution that support the orphans like church but they don¡¯t take people from the slum. Since I do not care about being look down upon, they didn¡¯t do anything else than gossiping and give sharp look. No physical pain, so it¡¯s an okay for me.


    And so, I arrive at the forest. The Clam forest is 1/10 of the size of Dark Forest. It isn¡¯t big enough to get lost. But if kid or someone bad at direction, they might lose their way in this forest. The animal that can be hunt here is deer, antelope, rainbow rooster, rabbit, pigeon-like bird and fish. When there are herbivores, there also exist carnivores, which is wolf and wild big cat. Wild big cat is around the size of normal adult female lion back in my previous world. Wolf is just as big as normal wolf back in earth but they live in packs make it hard to fight them.


    There are some uncommon sizes of those herbivores animal, as they are eating the grass or plant that growth with the forest spirit magical energy. Sometime their size is even on par with the elephant or giraffe back in my world, while their size does change, their power or meat does not have any magical energy and it is the same easy to hunt like normal size herbivores¡¯.


    That is enough of the details.


    First thing to do around here is to set the traps. As usual, I use magic for this kind of traps. I imagine for the earth to have hole around 3 inch wide and 1m deep of course using magic [Earth Hole]. By setting this trap that usually for rabbit and rooster it doesn¡¯t need me to waste my energy to chase them.


    Next, I start cut up the tree branch and sharpen the tip with my knife. It looks like a lance at first glance. There are around 3 traps around the river and 2 at random place. With 11 wooden lances at my back, I am ready to hunt deer and antelope.


    I hide in the bushes and waiting to ambush.


    ¡°fwwosh¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    After half an hour waiting, there is an adult male deer lingering in front of me while I was hiding behind the bushes. Wait¡­ wait¡­ its NOW! ¨Cstand up¡ª


    ¡°--!!!--¡±


    ¡°Yes! My spear is burning hot baby~! I hit him right at the neck.¡±


    Only 1 wooden lance needed woohoho¡­


    ¡°Snap¡±


    Hmm? Did I just hear something snap? Oh the trap!


    I ran toward the sound of the snap, it was a white rabbit fall by my trap. It is too cute and still alive that I wonder I really should kill it or give it to Eline. But as I thought, I need to kill it. Eline didn¡¯t like rabbit or animal that much, I wonder why, but the point is, she doesn¡¯t want it. I once give her creamy orange colored fluffy kitten, but she look at me as if wonder why I give it to her and she just let it go away.


    Enough of Eline, the hunt for this morning is still not ending, until the afternoon come.


    Waiting, chasing, waiting again, ¡®Snap¡¯, checking traps, hunting the birds, done. For today hunt goods, I got 1 male deer, 2 rabbit, 4 pigeon and 12 fish while waiting. I wash my self at the river because my cloth is full of blood as I butch the meat and at the same time I collect the needed thing to be sell; like fur, skin, horn, feather. With this I have finish my morning hunt for day 1<sup>st</sup>. I put the entire item for sold bundled in a dry ragged cloth [my old cloth] while the meat that has been washed is inside the basket.


    By the way, I use only rope tied with two stone to catch the bird that is flying. Then I hit them with stone to make them lost conscious. I don¡¯t have any elastic-like cloth to bind it at Y-like tree branch and use it as hunting weapon. Damn~ it has much of use. Oh, though it not important thing to mention, I look my self at the river reflection and saw my previous world self face, but bit youth and there are small beauty spot at lower side of my right eye.


    As I finish washes myself, I should head to the market to check out the trader vendors. There are lots of thing needs to be sold. But first, I need to sell the meat to the inn near the market.

 Chapter 2: I am Master Manipulation

    Chapter 2: I am master manipulation.


    ¡°Welcome~ oh, Kail. You again¡­ what do you want from me this time? ¡°


    Currently I am at one of the most popular inn in the town. An uncle greet warmly standing behind the counter at first when the bell rings but when he saw me entering, he changes his tone.


    ¡°Sound not happy, eh uncle? I want to sell you something this time.¡±


    ¡°Huh? You¡­ Selling things? What is it? Let me see.¡±


    ¡°Eager aren¡¯t you, uncle? Here, I have 10 piece of rabbit meat, 12 piece pigeon meat and 21 adult deer meat. All have been butch perfectly, around 1 ground [100 grams] each meat, and 12 river fish here. How much do you offer?¡±


    ¡°Hmm~ that is nice but for now. I will take all the pigeon meat, and 10 piece deer meat and for the rabbit meat. Give me all the rabbit meat for free and your debt from before is done. And I¡¯ll pay 5 quartos, 3 copper and 7 black coins for all other meat. I don¡¯t need any fish here.¡±


    Which mean 16 200yen? Though it is not bad, I still feel it not quite the price. About the debt, I loan around 1 silver coin from him to buy Eline cold medicine. So, I just accept the offer for now, since I don¡¯t know the real price. The deer meat should be quite high price but¡­ that will leave aside for now.


    ¡°Alright, deal. Thanks, uncle. Here the meat.¡±


    ¡°Sure, here the money. Are you going to be here again tomorrow?¡±


    ¡°hm? Yeah. You will be expecting me to sell the meat for 3 days straight. See ya then, uncle.¡±


    ¡°Kail!¡±


    ¡°hmm?¡±


    ¡°Good job.¡±


    ¡°heh, thanks again.¡±


    Alright, I need to sell the fish first before going to the traders. Where should I go¡­ ah! When I was remembering things, I head to the next inn. The inn owner is an aunt, like wise she greet warmly at first then changes her tone.


    ¡°Welcome~¡­ ! You, Kail. Planning on stealing again?¡±


    ¡°Eh~~ don¡¯t be so mean, I only does that ¡®once¡¯ at your inn, pretty lady~ Put those thing aside, I¡¯m sorry for stealing but today¡¯s matter is different.¡±


    ¡°Hmph, alright. Tell me.¡±


    ¡°Your inn famous for fish dishes right? I have 12 fish here in my basket, plan on selling it to you. There are silver strout fish, catfish and ground poard fish [a type of river fish]. How much do you offer?¡±


    ¡°oh? Oh? There is even the rare poard? Let me have it. I will buy all other than poard for 4 copper and the poard I will buy all for 2 quartos. Deal or not.¡±


    ¡°The other fish is acceptable, but the poard make it for 3 quartos or there is no deal. There is 2 poard here, aunty. Make it all 3 quartos and 4 copper. [11,500 y]¡±


    ¡°2 quartos and 5 copper. [10,000 y]¡±


    ¡°2 quartos, 5 copper and 5 black coins[10, 500 y]¡±


    ¡°grr¡­ alright, deal.¡±


    ¡°Thanks. Heh.¡±


    ¡°(why are you so stubborn for that 5 black coin¡­)¡±


    ¡°hmm, did you say something aunty?¡±


    ¡°Nothing. If you done your business here please exit from my inn, my customer has been staring at us for a while now.¡±


    ¡°Alright, thanks for the money.¡±


    Just by selling the meat and fish I gain around 26, 700 yen. I expect the other things to be sold and reach around 1 gold coin, which is 100,000 yen. Horn can be selling around 3 to 5 silver and the animal skin can be sell around 3 copper to 3 silver coins according to the size and quality. Here I have 1 pair of horn and expect to sell for 3 silver coins [30,000 y] at least, then the deer skin can be sell for 1 silver and 6 copper at the least for its perfect condition and size. The other thing that can be selling is none right now but I can sell them tomorrow after finish crafting at night.


    ¡­¡­¡­


    ¡­¡­


    ¡­


    The trader is stubborn; they only buy the horn for 2 silver, 8 copper and 5 black coins, did the price drops somehow? Then the skin was sold at proper price as I show my stubbornness, 2 silver coins, for the deer skin. Calculate all the money that I gain today is 4 silver, 7 quartos, 16 copper 17 black coins [75, 200 y]. Doesn¡¯t quite reach the expectation, but all is well and good. I can buy a lot of things if I am good enough at price manipulation but book is still out of expectation.


    First, I need to go to pharmacy and buy Eline medicine and neat cloth for both of them. Then bring them to sleep in the inn. Slum is full of dirty air, so even if I buy medicine and neat cloth for them, they will still get the virus as their breath is weak. Then I need to buy needle and few crafting tools. Food can be settled by the inn meals.


    I think the price for common room by the inn, 3 copper coins for one night? If included the meal for the 3 of us is around 5 copper. 5000 yen is wasted there.


    Then to buy Eline medicine, cold medicine cost around 2 copper as it has 10 pills and last till 1 month if I calculate Eline frequent fever, then the magic ice or magic hot pack which last forever until used cost around 5 black coins each and I need to buy 5 of them each.


    So 10 pack x 5 black coin, 50 black coins [5000 y]. Another 7000 yen lost.


    How much do I have left?


    Later, later¡­ before all of this to happen, I need to buy us three 2 set of new cloth, 1 child cloth set is 1 silver each, so 2 times by 2 is, 4. 4 silver coins are needed to buy their cloth and adult cloth set needed at the very least silver and 2 quartos¡­


    I will be buy only one set for me for now.


    How much totals? 5 silver 2 quartos for cloth[55,000 y], 5 copper to the inn [5000], Eline medicine¡­ 2 copper and 50 black coin [7,000], totals 67,000 yen and leave me the rest for 8, 200 yen. I should rent the room for 2 days straight¡­ which left me 3,200 yen. Buying the crafting tools left me with no money at all¡­ damn. Curse you the dropped price for the horn!


    I should not be this picky about money back in my previous world¡­ how did I change so much? While thinking all that, I reach the slum where the kids waiting.


    ¡°I¡¯m back, Reno, Eline¡­¡±


    I saw Eline lying on the ragged mat sickly while Reno standing abruptly with an almost exploded red face and teary eyes.


    ¡°*cough**cough* ¡­ Kail-nii¡­¡±


    ¡°Brother Kail! Why are you so late today?? I thought something happen to you¡­ -sobs-¡±


    Ah, he is worried¡­ So kind-hearted brat.


    ¡°Haha, I am super strong, so who would dare to hurt me? You worry-wart brat¡­¡±


    ¡°Hmph! Fine, if anything happen to you don¡¯t blame me for not care.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t be angry~ I want to buy you both new clothes, do you want or do you not want?¡±


    ¡°Huhh!? Cloth! Really brother? W-what do you mean buy? Not steal???¡±


    Reno jump from where he sat and stares something like ¡®Don¡¯t Lie!¡¯ to me.The tale has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.


    ¡°Don¡¯t look down on me~ we going to start new life starting today~ you going to stay in Inn for 3 days, eat the meals there until I finish preps for our next journey.¡±


    ¡°¡­ Brother, are you dreaming¡­? ¡±


    He tilts his head a bit and waves his hand front of my face.


    ¡°Silly boy doesn¡¯t trust this brother of yours. Ta-daa~ ¡±


    I show the money inside the money pouch that the Inn uncle gave me. Reno rushes and grip the money bag and turn his face toward my direction with wide open eyes and mouth open wanting to say something but couldn¡¯t voice it out.


    ¡°!!!!¡±


    ¡°Trust me now? Should we go?¡±


    Reno nods furiously, showing ecstatic expression on his face, he jump happily while Eline just look glad. Already expect them to be like that. Us the slum kid, to buy something is just a pipe dream. But I am today going to realize the kids dream. I expected Eline to jump too but seem like she not really that well enough to show that reaction. When I was at joy seeing their reaction and walk out to the main street. Suddenly two men with tough build stop us from going outside of the dark street.


    ¡°Hey kid, you got money now don¡¯t you? Pay us. You have been living at our street for many years now, but you haven¡¯t paid any.¡±


    These thugs are searching for a fight so how could I say no to their invitation of brawl. ¡°Huh? Whose street? Yours¡­? You must be dreaming. Heh, playing thugs while I don¡¯t see anything that can make me scared~ uuh~ kuhahahaha¡± Irritated to my word, they point a small sharp thing to our direction. They only bring small knife with them. Hmph, I use my own bare hand to kill something even furious then they are which is the wild big cat and they trying to threat me using that knife?


    At my back are 5 wooden spears left from the hunting. The back of my spear is enough I guess? Damn~ my urge to fight is back because of this two¡­ heh¡­ heheh¡­ huhhahaha¡­ [Just inner laugh]


    ¡°Kuh. You damn mothe¡ªf..!urgk¡­ ¡± One of the thugs, a bald with pierced ring at his right earlobe falls down as he was hit to the stomach by the back of my spear. Before he could rush toward my direction, I attack him first.


    ¡°What did you do?! Damn it, Kurhaz! Fall back, lets go!¡± the blond Mohawk panic unknowing what happen and trying to escape.


    ¡°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.¡±


    ¡°Yes Kail-nii sama.¡±


    Everything when fast even though I am supposed to be slow when I didn¡¯t plan, man~ these guy are just too weak. I didn¡¯t kill them, I only hit them with the back of spear few times and use bit of magic which I could call Earth Clud. I imagine the earth to rise rapidly about 50cm under the men bodies and imagine it to go back to the ground and rise again makes it as if someone punching furiously to the men bodies. At the very least now, they will not dare to disturb me again.


    I order the kid to forget about today scene as I don¡¯t want they to have nightmare about it, but Reno unknown for some reason has being staring at me for awhile now. Since Eline is too weak to walk, I carry her at my back and the spear is given to Reno. He holds the spear so tight that I kind of wanted him to stop that but did not say it though. Hah~ it is a first time to have someone that know me, watch me fighting. Though previous Kail is much gruesome in fighting, and the kids always with him watching how it end and goes. I am shy to have people watching me fighting.


    I can be cruel, but not when people watching me. My self at previous world, if I fight thug, I fight them and not kill or torture. But if it was yakuza or some drunken adult trying to bother me, I did not kill them [but I wanted to] and just torture them to shame till they wish they want to die. I didn¡¯t kill because of laws. But now no laws to stop me from killing, I can fight at my fullness if those close with me are not at my presences.


    ¡­


    Before going to a cloth shop, I order the kids to wash themselves by the well. Then we go to a boutique. Like planned, I buy the kids 2 full sets of cloth and mine is only one full sets. Full sets as in underwear set, innerwear set, and outerwear set. Underwear is like panty and sock, innerwear is t-shirt and pant for boy and dress for girl, Outerwear is basically vest, jacket, hat can be count as that too. Of course, shoes are different, which is why I need to show my money manipulation ability because I am going to run out of budget!


    ¡°All for 4 silver and 9 copper coins [49,000 y] or I will not buy.¡±


    ¡°That reap me off, sire¡­ make it 5 silver and 5 copper¡±


    ¡°¡­ You are not going to make it any lower are you?¡±


    ¡°Please understand, sire¡­ I am making a business not a charity¡­¡±


    ¡°Alright deal. All for 5 silver and 5 copper coins. [55,000] Show me where the changing room is.¡±


    ¡°Thank you very much sire, please follow me this way.¡±


    YES! Within budget! All hail me! I am amazing at money manipulation, kuahahhaha¡­ The reason is, I used to buy cloth for my sister and sometimes she went over budget, there I always learn to manipulate the shop keeper.


    And so, I buy 2 pair of underwears, a black long sleeves v-shaped neck cloth and white slack pant as innerwear, black borsalino hat as the outer wear because I don¡¯t need any vest or whatever. I look like an American-asian model now but with black sandal as shoes. Eline buy 3 pairs of underwears, the one she is wearing right now is sky blue colored hourglass-dress with lot of lace underneath and a light yellow wool scarf by her neck. The other innerwear is for night wear, which are normal pajamas, cheap item which make me feel bad and so I buy her long sleeves white t-shirt and short black pant as casual. Then, her shoe is pinky short heels and she wear stripe black and white sock.


    Meanwhile, Reno is wearing black no sleeve full neck collar wool shirt and brown knee-length pant as innerwear, his outerwear is red tailed-coat with white fur around the neck collar, and his rear is a sword belt. His other cloth set is just another black no sleeve necked wool shirt with white long pant similar to mine. His shoe is black sandal like mine. His coat is expensive but I buy it for him anyway, because he never disobeys my rule.


    About this rule of previous¡¯ me¡¯ is¡­ [1] Only one can move away to do something like duty or hunt or anything while another person will guard Eline just in case she sick or something happen. [2] No stealing unless I didn¡¯t go hunting. [3] No begging unless emergency. [4] Don¡¯t listen to other people talking. [5] Don¡¯t go to the black side of the slum.


    That¡¯s the only way to let us live for long time in the slum. Ah, enough about those unimportant thing. We are no longer living at the slum so any use to think those. Cloth is secured. Then, we leave the boutique. Now the inn, while I was thinking whether to go to Uncle Barbatos Inn [the one that buy the meat] or Aunt Lena Inn [the one that buy the fish], I notice the surrounding become rowdy and focusing at our direction while gossiping with each other. Eline in my arm suddenly cower and hold tight to my body, Reno beside me while holding to our new clothes also put up on guard. Suddenly two young lady heads toward our direction.


    ¡°Um¡­ Ex-Excuse me, may you tell us your name, sire?¡±


    ¡°??¡±


    Unexpected question was asked to us. S-Sire?? I am not¡­ ah¡­ could it be our style? Hah¡­ What should I do~ let smile first.


    ¡°My lady, I am not a sire for I am only a humble person. Live with no surname. Perhaps it¡¯s your name that I would like to learn~¡±


    When I say those gentleman-like sentences that I learn from a shoujo manga lent by my kouhai as a references, the girls and surrounding went Kyaa kyaa¡­ hee¡­


    ¡°*Cough**Cough*¡­ Nii-sama¡­¡±


    ¡°hm? Ah, Eline. I¡¯m sorry to stop here, should we go to Uncle Barbatos Inn?¡±


    ¡°mmm¡­¡±


    Ah so cute~ Eline nod lightly in agreement of what I said just now. Now, I need to clear the path¡­ these ladies¡­ haa¡­


    ¡°Pardon my rudeness, beautiful lady. ¡®Could you let us pass?


    My little flower in my arm need to rest as soon as possible?¡¯


    If only I have the power to stop the time, I will love it to know more about you.¡±


    With a long verse, that I memorize from the ¡®My Princess¡¯ the otome game [a references for manga.] Another kyaa kyaa scene¡­ So easy¡­


    And so we arrive to the inn. The uncle was shocked to see our appearance and that I want to rent a room plus 2 nights straight with meals. I didn¡¯t say anything but thanks him in advanced for his meals. Then I dropped Eline onto the bed and ask Reno to guard her while I went to pharmacy and other stores, saying I¡¯ll be back before dawn. I also add by saying they should went to the lower inn to eat meals by they own.


    Though I didn¡¯t eat from morning till now, I didn¡¯t feel that much of hunger as Kail usually fasted back when he was a child and was too weak to hunt and steal. It become habit to not eat, sleep less and even when you sleep you still can hear the smallest sound and put up guard as a child of the slum. I pity him, but I am now him¡­ haha [awkward laugh].


    When I head to pharmacy, I saw a Magic shop next to it. I went there first to survey things, and I found something I really need.¡¯ The Dark forest about¡¯, it is a book about the dark forest which usually bought by adventurer. I decide to name it Dark Forest Encyclopedia, the price is 1 gold. W-what?? Huk¡­ 1 day worth of hunting¡­ damn it¡­ but since the book is not something that rare, which is really common to be sold around here, I decide that it was okay to not rush it.


    When I thought of exiting the shop, I found something unusual and extremely cheap. ¡°The tale of Black Eyes¡± cost only 2 black coins. Then I buy it, and went to pharmacy to buy Eline set of medicine. Left me with only 3 copper coins [3,000 y], I went to the next stores. A crafting tool shop, there I buy set of needle 5 black coins, sharpening stone 1 copper coin, 3 grounds (300 gram) pack of glue 3 black coins, a roll [1m] of fishing steel wire 1 copper coin and 2 grounds (200 gram) pack of cotton 2 black coins, leaving me no money at all.


    When I exit the craft shop, the sky already turns red and mysterious orange. I walk back to the Inn and found the two kids waiting for their meals at the round wooden table number 2.They saw me and smile brightly¡­ Reno is grinning though. I was thinking ¡®ah¡­ they eat well¡¯ then I return the smile and went to the room upstairs without sitting to eat meal with them. I sit on the floor and organize the thing bought with the money I made and the item that was in the basket needed to be craft.


    The kids¡¯ cloth is secured, mine is fine but I probably need a spare just in case and that will take to tomorrow plans. Eline medicine is secured, this will last one month and once me able to have the encyclopedias, and I can make my own medicine even though it might not be possible. I will have some plan till then. Crafting tools also secured and will be just enough for the other 2 days hunt item.


    About that, I only need glue, cotton, needle and thread to craft things into accessory; the steel wire is something for future use. In my mind I plan on using it to ¡®Kill¡¯ and the sharpening stone is an unlimited item in my opinion which will be used to sharpen my knife. About this knife of mine, I only use it to butch meat, craft item that is all. I never use it to kill since it wasn¡¯t mine to begin with. But, the crafted item like the wooden spear can be used to kills. Next to the craft tools is a book.

 Chapter 3: The tales of black eyes

    Chapter 3: The tales of Black Eyes.


    When I open the book, I was shocked by the fact there is nothing! It¡¯s blank! I keep going back and forth to search for something! I waste 2 black coins for this you know!!?? Hey! Oh? Something is written in the middle page. It was written in English though¡­ by the way, though I didn¡¯t mention it before¡­


    All the word written in this world is in English, by the sign board, the notice board and many. Though I am Japanese, as an editing chief-assistant, and a graduate, English is just something I casually learn like it was my nationality language. I am good at this. But the language of the people here is Japanese. Back to the page focusing, the written sentence is¡­


    ¡°Put your energy here.¡±


    Hm? Energy? Oh as in magic force? Let me try. If I remember it carefully, magic force is an energy dwelling inside the body equaling to our blood that pump by the heart while the energy is pump by the brain. Magic power is simply magic power, but magic force is something that controlling the level of magic power, which mean the greater your magic force, the powerful your magic become. Precisely can be says, magic force is a concentrated energy that flowing inside your body from vein to vein. One can use body strengthen magic, if he/she muster the control of the magic force.


    Then to let the magic force out from the brain to flow to your palm or tip of your finger is called energy. It does nothing really special but let out light blue neon colored as if you are writing in the air. So perhaps this is it?


    As I put the magic force to the center of the middle page, I lost my conscious.


    =The tale of Black Eyes=


    ¡°¡­ lan.. Alan?¡±


    ¡°hmm? Melly?¡±


    Beautiful. That is the only thing that I can think every each time we met.


    Short mild emerald-color hair with small braided at the right side of her head accompany with a flower pin made by me. My name is Alan Black Eye. I don¡¯t have surnamed just a title next to my name. Black eye, I have black eye which is a never occurred in the lifetimes of Hansmeria Kingdom.


    Though it is common to other kingdom, Hansmeria has never had a black incurred inside their kingdom until me.


    I am a child of commoner but my mother dead gave birth to me while my father is dead even before I was born to this world.


    The Duke family, the friend of my mother¡¯s adopts me not as family but as aide for their son.


    They are strict on me while allowing their son to do what ever he want even if it is troubling others.


    I learn magic, sword training, political issues, economical, social training and everything that can help their son to be a prime minister.


    I never had fun time of my own as the other found me as odd for having black eyes and more than two elements. Two elements can be count as special being, while having 5 element at a time are scaring others¡­


    I then avoid the social but it will definitely not bother my way of working.


    But something change my way of life when I enter the Magic Academy at age 15.


    It was her, Melly.


    She is a commoner but able to make lots of friend in a short times with the other aristocrats.


    At first, I avoid her as I don¡¯t want to associate with people.


    But then her word strikes me. ¡°Your life is seriously no fun.¡± When she says that, I retaliate with saying ¡°What do you even know about life.¡±


    Casually she says ¡°Life is hard but you can live through it as long as you make it fun.¡±


    I frown upon it.


    ¡°Show me. Or get away from me.¡±


    ¡°Sure~¡±


    She does badly at academic test and not lady-like at all and she does her way like one would say ¡°childish¡± upon seeing her. She can be considered as talented because she able to cast magic without any need for hand movement but she lack the wills to compete.


    She also agile, and boyish, she love to sword playing more than tea party. Loves adventure and sometimes she would sneak from the academy to go to Dark Forest.


    Always making the warden mad at her as she bring back lots of things like dead beast huge rats, man-eating flower or sometimes even a lively salamander. Her name doesn¡¯t suit her or so I thought and I don¡¯t want to associate with her. But I can never take my eyes off her.


    The night when the academy celebrating for the seniors graduating days, she is the most elegant, beauty out of all other girls. Even the princes and the duke family¡¯s son went to her to reach for her hand. While the other guys and me just staring at her with amazement.


    She refuses them casually and went straight to me. W-why? Then, as if she read my mind, casually said ¡°Didn¡¯t you ask me to show you?¡± and of course I frown.


    ¡°¡­ This is your answer? This is what you call fun?¡±


    ¡°Nope and nope. I am here to show you to dance.¡±


    ¡°Huh? H-Hey!¡±


    She held my hand and pulls me toward the center of the hall. The music plays and she start to dance. Her hand is small but she leads me to the dance perfectly. Wait a minute. She leads me?? I can feel that my eyes wide open in bewilderment as I stare down at her. She is a bit short than me by an inch but I didn¡¯t feel any sort of small-like feeling coming when I stare at her.


    ¡°Notice it now? Haha~ isn¡¯t it fun? To be doing something unexpected?¡±


    ¡°¡­ -chuckled-¡±


    ¡°There you laugh~¡±


    Seriously, I didn¡¯t notice that I laugh at all, perhaps I did but it was not intended.


    ¡°No I didn¡¯t. By the way, stop leading me. Let me lead you properly, Melly.¡±


    I refuse to admit that I did. While saying all that, I notice her face blush a little, and then she start to grin.


    ¡°M-My name¡­! You call my name~!¡±


    ¡°heh, that is enough to make you smile ear to ear?¡±


    ¡°Yes~!!¡±


    Again, she make me surprised by her action, I found her as ¡®cute¡¯ for one moment. Interesting, I thought and says ¡°¡­ haha, alright now. Show me more ¡®fun¡¯, Melly.¡±.


    ¡°It¡¯s my pleasure~ Alan~¡±


    We dances waltz for a moment till the music stops and bows to each other. I still don¡¯t get it by what she means fun. But I am captivated by her. From then on we kept seeing each other and keep each other company. Day by day, even when it was holidays.Ensure your favorite authors get the support they deserve. Read this novel on Royal Road.


    A year has pass since the senior graduating days, it is now our turn. Once again, she surprises us all with her absolute beautiful. She kept her hair long till her waist, her dress is even more elegance. It was silk that was renown to all other kingdom and recently introduce to our kingdom and the design is self-made. The dress is a gift from me as she is my official fianc¨¦e. There are many that grit their teeth when the engagement party was held, such as the kingdom 3<sup>rd</sup> prince, the duke family¡¯s son and many other male students but other than that is people are all blessing us.


    The duke family found out that their son is totally useless; they decide to just make me as their own son and heir then make me the prime minister after graduating. While having that as option, Melly on the other hand want to travel across the world. Albeit, I am thankful to the duke family to grant me knowledge, shelter and food. I want to accompany Melly as I want to learn more about her. I am indeed captivated by her.


    ¡°You can¡¯t!¡±


    ¡°huh?¡±


    I was shocked upon hearing Melly refuses me to follow her.


    ¡°W-why?¡±


    ¡°You need to be Prime Minister, right? The duke family told me about you and your past. You are indebt to them~ so why not granting them their wish?¡±


    ¡°Melly¡­ I¡­ Do you not love me?¡±


    ¡°Such a thing! Of course I love you! But to love doesn¡¯t mean to allow the one they love wasting their opportunity.¡±


    ¡°¡­ Who will accompany you to travel? You are careless. Forgetful. Hence worrying me. So I¡¯ll be-¡±


    ¡°Shushy, I have guard from your duke family. They will accompany me. But I¡¯ll serve you for a year as your dutiful wife~ if there is anything; shouldn¡¯t we use our ¡®code¡¯?¡±


    ¡°Heh, didn¡¯t think you will plan it ahead of me.¡±


    ¡°hmph~ don¡¯t look down on your fianc¨¦e. Even I can be useful. Plus, planning ahead is my only speciality, right?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, you are indeed my fianc¨¦e and amazing at ¡®planning¡¯.¡±


    I pat her head as I praise her. I am still worry about it, she notice my worries and hug me. Ah¡­ I am blessed right now. The night ends like that and my generation successfully graduates without problem. The next week after the graduation is my wedding event.


    People gave their blessing as do as the Duke family and the royal family. I enter the Ministry exam and scored extremely brilliant that even the adult and elder are shocked in grim face upon my answer thus result. I become the Vice Prime Minister at ease, when the prime minister decides that I can take his seat, I will definitely become one.


    Melly also does her duty as wife perfectly. She promises me one year. Then, I need to consent of giving her permission to travel.


    And so the one year came, within that one year, she unexpectedly becomes a mother and I become a father. The one year promises becomes three years. The child is a boy and his name is Raphael.


    ¡°He look just like you, Alan~ Black hair black Eyes~ so lovely~¡±


    ¡°I think he is more like you¡­ see? Gnawing my finger so willfully, jumping of from the baby-cage, crawling to my work table¡­ Always do thing on its own way.¡±


    ¡°I accept that as praise~ tee-hee~¡±


    ¡°I wasn¡¯t praising you though¡­ -sigh-¡±


    ¡°~~ -smooch-¡±


    Noticing my wrinkle forehead, she kisses it. Again, I was surprised by her action and pleased at the same times. I pat her head and without realizing it¡­ tomorrow has come¡­


    And so the promise day came.


    As promised, though the time is expanded because a child was born. Melly heads out to travel starting from outer kingdom gate till the End of the world.


    ¡°My love, Raphael~ Mommy going to be gone soon, but remember that Mommy will always be with you. Alan, I¡¯ll be travel to the end of the world now and don¡¯t know when I¡¯ll be back so¡­¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s alright, though it ache my heart¡­ It is your dream after all¡­ I love you, Melly¡­ Come back soon.¡±


    ¡°¡­ I love you too¡­ Alan..-sobs- I-I¡¯m sorry¡­ remember¡­ our ¡®code¡¯, okay?¡±


    ¡°It¡¯s alright, there~ don¡¯t be sorry¡­ this is your dream isn¡¯t it? Yes, yes, I remember the ¡®code¡¯ always.¡±


    She cries as she hugs me tightly. I kiss her forehead, I was sure she will be back soon. She then kisses Raphael and we guide her out till the Kingdom gate.


    1 year has passed since then. A bunch of letter came to our house. When I saw the letter, I was happy but then when I read the content, I stumbled. I cry out of furious that I didn¡¯t even notice Raphael was also crying next to me.


    ¡¸My dear, Alan¡­ Raphael¡­


    When you see this letter, you will know that I am no longer in this world¡­


    I am sorry to hide it from you. I already know that I will soon die when you propose me.


    Like this¡­ Even though I know I will die when I marry you, I still do it anyway.


    From the first time I saw you; I know that you are special. Your black hair, when wind blows and the sunlight shone your hair, it looks like a beautiful night with starry skies. Your eyes are black, mysteriously captivating me.


    I took my chance to talk with you, but you reject me so many times. I feel excited though, I took it as a challenge. Then one time, you finally response to me~ Then I feel, Yeah~ this is my chance! Then, I start to fall for you, do you know? There is one time that the duke son trying to forces me to kiss him, then you threat him about something and that is when I start to fall for you for real¡­


    Alan¡­ When you read this letter, I wish you will not regret upon the decision to marry me¡­ because, I am grateful for this life¡­ I am grateful to meet you¡­ I am grateful to be loved by you¡­ Because¡­ I love you.


    When I think about it, I really want to hide the truth of which ends my life¡­ but I don¡¯t wish you to goes craze killing everyone, because I know you are capable at it. So I will tell you all the truth.


    Your duke family doesn¡¯t involve in this incident but it was no other than the eldest princess from the neighbor kingdom that threats me. She threats me to leave you after our official engagement take place. But I refuse. Then I found out that, the duke son was never has the heart for me in the first place if not for the eldest princess¡­ hence I thought her threat would stop if I marry you. Unfortunately, the day before our wedding day¡­


    She sent out envoys, warning me. Something about evil like she could become your wife by killing me and our child without having you notice about it and destroy every evidences that could connect me and her.


    I refuse to take her seriously¡­ then when Raphael is born¡­ he unexpectedly spread out strong magical energy that one can detect if he or she is a royal for that child is the messenger of God. The King of the Hansmeria kingdom then sent envoys to destroy that child. He moves according to the neighbor kingdom¡¯s suggestion.


    I was forced to think of a way¡­ then I say to the envoys.


    ¡°I plan on leaving my husband soon to set out for adventure and I will be taking that child with me, so if you want to kill that child, you will have to kill me too but without my husband knowing this. This is my only request.¡±


    My dear husband, Alan¡­ I don¡¯t know what you will be thinking when you see the content of the letter, but I know you are sad¡­ frustrated¡­ in rage¡­


    When I leave the gate I took out a decoy baby doll acting as our baby¡­ Surely they took the bait¡­ making it a believing that the god messenger is dead. But only you and I know that he still alive¡­


    I wish that you take him away, far away from the kingdom. Better if far from the human community.


    Finally¡­ I wish that I will be return to your arm soon¡­ that child name is unknown to the world¡­ so at the end of this letter, I have a gem with all my energy and loves.


    Alan¡­ You will know what to do right? This is after all and improvise version of our code.


    Thank you¡­ Sorry¡­ I love you.


    Sincerely,


    Your love Melly. ¡¹


    I gripped the letter as resolute. I hit my head to the floor to regain my composure. I can¡¯t let Melly sacrifices to go on waste. My child, no ¡®Our¡¯ child. He can only be sent to one place. Grecirea Kingdom. The prosperous land with adventurer, beast, money but the best place to hide him is at the slum of the kingdom. Since that place is full with black hair community.


    I set out to the Grecirea¡­ I told the kingdom that I was grieving upon my wife and child death but that wasn¡¯t the truth. I will grant Melly final wish and will met her soon.


    I put Raphael to the slum even though he is only 4 years old. Innocent boy has to learn to live dishonest and dirty life¡­ I wonder if I am doing this right¡­ I kiss his forehead and held the gem tightly and gave all my energy to him. Melly, I will see you soon. My, Raphael¡­ you have the hair and eyes colored similar to mine, but your traits close to that mother of yours¡­ I wish¡­ you¡­will live ordinary¡­ be happy¡­

 Chapter 4: My name still Kail!

    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¡­

    ***Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.


    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!

 Chapter 5: Today is Tiring day

    Chapter 5: Today is ¡®tiring day¡¯¡­


    ¡°Brother Kail! I want to learn everything you know! Please!¡± That is the first thing in the morning that was said right at my face after I wash my face at the inn public bathroom. Reno suddenly said all that and bows 90 degree. H-hey¡­ what do you mean by everything? What are you rushing for?? Plus, I have plan for the morning which is to hunt at the Clam Forest and might as well go deeper today to hunt more.


    ¡°Calm down, what do you want to learn?¡±


    ¡°Everything!¡±


    That doesn¡¯t answer my question at all¡­


    ¡°¡­ how about later? I need to go hunt first.¡±


    ¡°¡­ Is that¡­so¡­¡±


    Ah, he is sulking¡­ What should I¡­ Ah! That¡¯s it. Arithmetic! The basic mathematic which is number, plus and subtract, I should teach this first since he says ¡®everything¡¯.


    ¡°And so¡­ I will be teaching you arithmetic, will you learn?¡±


    ¡°E-eh? But, I want to learn to be strong¡­¡±


    Ah, that¡¯s what he means by that ¡®everything¡¯¡­ But I think he should learn it after all, because arithmetic is to train the brain, to train the brain means mental training and mental training can increase your energy [magic power] which he really need it.


    ¡°I will teach you magic after you doing well at arithmetic, will that be okay?¡±


    ¡°If-If that so, then please teach me!¡±


    Then, the first thing to do in the 3<sup>rd</sup> morning after incarnate is to teach Reno basic number. I went to the lower inn to borrow their chalk board and some chalk, then give it to Reno. And, I check for Eline health, she is fine but probably tired, so she has been sleeping soundly. After told Reno and Eline that they should eat breakfast, I went to the lower inn to eat something.


    ¡°Uncle, what is today¡¯s menu?¡±


    ¡°hmm? Oh, Kail. Today is hard bread with mushroom cream soup, or beignet with sour cream, Rose tea or just milk. So, what do you want?¡±


    ¡°I¡¯ll take just the first one and rose tea for now.¡±


    ¡°Alright, go wait at the table.¡±


    I sat down to the round wooden table number 1 next to the cafeteria counter, Uncle Barbatos bring my meals and he sat down opposite side of me. Just when I want to eat the food, he takes away the meals and says something.


    ¡°Kail, what¡¯s the deal with you recently?¡±


    ¡°Hey~ that¡¯s mine.¡±


    ¡°Don¡¯t avoid my question.¡±


    ¡°Alright, alright¡­ I¡¯ll tell but first my meals.¡±


    ¡°And¡­ So?¡±


    ¡°I plan on leave the town.¡±


    ¡°HUH?! Where? And why?¡±


    ¡°Uncle is worry-wart. I¡¯m tired of stealing and living a dishonest life, plus Eline and Reno is kids¡­ They need to know that life doesn¡¯t really mean pain and bad. They need to know the fun to live. Which is why, I took a drastic measure.¡± Just reminding¡­ those are just excuse for my thrill to adventure and urge to fight.


    ¡°So that¡¯s the reason, huh? But just until recently, you are a muscle-brain aren¡¯t you?¡±


    ¡°I fake it all¡­ I have no special reason to fake them, but I can say that, I¡¯m too weak to protect them to show that I am clever.¡± Nah¡­ I am still that of muscle-brain but more knowledge and experiences of living that is all¡­


    ¡°Ah, you mean by when you were young, eh? But at that time, the two kids are not with you yet, and there are four more kids which now not here.¡±


    ¡°Yep, regretfully, I am strong now but there left only two kids for me to protect. That is why, I will definitely protect them. Which is why, uncle, I am going to go to Clam Forest now and probably be late, so please take care of them while I¡¯m not here. I will pay 2 silver coins for taking care of them, but that going to be after I come back.¡± That one is true, and I will probably make lot of money from now on, so it not a pain to have him taking care of my little brats.


    ¡°Should I trust you¡­?¡±


    ¡°You should, because it¡¯s 2 silver coins that we are talking about now~ don¡¯t worry¡­ I¡¯ll definitely be back plus money loaded with me, because there still something to be protect here.¡±


    ¡°Hahaha, you now know how to talk! Alright then, leave them to this uncle! I¡¯ll take good care of them!¡±


    And then I stood up after finishing my meals, to leave for the hunting, but I stop for a while and complaining.


    ¡°Ha¡­ I need to change outfit¡­ to hunt with this clothes feel like waste; I just bought this clothes¡­¡±


    ¡°You want some clothes, Kail-san? Here~¡±


    A young girl bit younger than my age hands me an outfit. Did you read my mind young lady?


    ¡°T-thanks¡­?¡±


    ¡°My name is Emily; I am Barbatos only daughter, pleased to meet you.¡±


    Her hair is dark brown and braided separately at the left and right side with small blue ribbon at the end of her tip. Her eyes are also dark brown, small face, fair skin, and red cupid lips. Overall, a cute lady, then I took the cloth from her.


    ¡°It is my pleasure to meet you too. Thanks for the cloth.¡±


    ¡°D-Don¡¯t worry about it¡­ That is father old cloth, he use to wear it when he was young and was an adventurer but since he has no boy as his child, it is wasted once he got old.¡±


    ¡°Is that so, so I must give thanks to your father then? But still, thanks for noticing my needs.¡±


    ¡°He-he¡­ your welcome~¡±


    The cloth is something that you can see adventurer would wear. Short sleeves brown hooded shirt. Also, pair of black arm inner, and black belt, brown slack pant and brown tied boots.


    Now, rather than a gentleman, I look more like an adventurer. After picking up my usual set for hunting, ah¡­ no, something is added up. Steel wire and sharpening stone, added to my set for hunting. Then I walk to the Clam Forest. Something is unusual?


    ¡°Hey, there. Going to do your mission?¡±


    ¡°ah?¡±


    The gate guard is¡­ talking to me? Plus, there is no hint of seeing me as trash in his eyes. He was the different guard from yesterday, but still, to not see me as a slum child is rare. Oh, I look like an adventurer, might be the reason.


    ¡°Ah, no¡­ I am not doing any mission; I plan on hunting something though. Will you let me pass?¡±


    ¡°Sure, sure. Good luck at that.¡±


    ¡°Thank you very much, sires.¡±


    I feel something soothing in my heart. This feels nice¡­ I wonder what they would say if they saw me as the gentleman appearance next. I walk straight to the Clam forest, but a bit deeper this time.


    As usual, I set my traps, making wooden spears, checking for the environment to see the probability the trap will hit and to see what animals that can be hunt. But something is different today¡­


    ¡°Kuh¡­ I didn¡¯t think you would come. But, I have expected this anyways.¡±


    ¡°awroo!!¡±


    Pack of wolves suddenly come out from the bushes when I was setting the traps and it seems one of them fall into the traps, which is probably the reason they start attacking me. But, as if I was expecting this, the roll of steel wires at my hand, I straight them using both my hand and prepares to attack. With wooden spears at my back, I am confident, even if the enemies are a pack of five adult wolves.


    ¡°Come! I will cut you up only using this.¡±


    ¡°AWROO!!!¡±


    Four wolves run straight to me from each different direction to trap me, of course I will avoid them. With rope at my side, I threw it to the tree branch and pull myself toward the tree. I didn¡¯t expect them to do that¡­ It was accurate move like they was receiving command from a strategies. Probably the huge black wolf is their leader. I need to kill their leader!


    ¡°Earth Holes!¡±


    Four holes appear at the wolves ground, left only their leader under me [tree]. Though I don¡¯t need to cast it loudly, I do it anyway without thought. This is a thrill, I am best at one-on-one. Though it does not matter to be cornered, it still does me bad because it not my special area. Now, I am confident, as I was thinking that, confidently I taunt the enemy.


    ¡°Now your turn¡±


    ¡°Grrr¡­.Awr--¡­¡±


    *blood splutter*


    The big black wolf runs straight to me and had his body separated by half. I did it!


    Using the steel wire, which he didn¡¯t notice it, I tied it to the wooden spear that I stab toward the ground hiding behind the big tree.


    ¡°Now, what do I do with the other wolves?¡±


    ¡°Awroo!¡±


    ¡°Huh?!¡±


    Oh¡­ My¡­ God¡­ They manage to jump out of the holes. Ahhh, they jump on me! They are licking on me!!! They are going to kill me! E-eh? They lick me?


    ¡°Awroo!¡±


    Huh? Aren¡¯t you pretty tame?


    ¡°Awroo!¡±


    ¡°You five [the other wolf that fall into the ground also jumps out]¡­ what are you?¡±Support creative writers by reading their stories on Royal Road, not stolen versions.


    I finally regain my composure; I sat down opposite side on the ground to them.


    ¡°Awroo!!¡±


    ¡¸The Clam forest wolves Tribe wishing to become your subordinates. Do you want to accept them?¡¹


    E-eh?? Who?? Uh¡­ do I say¡­ yes?


    ¡¸It is now able to use telepathy with your subordinates. Telepathy is an ability to talk by mind. ¡¹


    Who are you??? Anyways, thanks. Talking in mind eh? Should I try?


    (Uh. Test, test. Pleased to meet you, I am now your little master¡­was I doing it right? )


    (Yes! Master!) White Wolf


    One full white fur wolf answers me.


    (Oh~ so, what to call you?)


    (We, the beast have no name. But would be very happy if Master would give us the name, because it is a symbol that we are yours.) Black female-like wolf


    (Hm? Can explain it further?)


    (A name given by someone to beast is like, Master giving your energy to us, and with that energy, we able to evolve to the level of your strength.) White wolf


    Wow, so¡­ if I am strong, they will evolve? But what if they didn¡¯t evolve at all? Plus how to know how much energy does me have and the level of my strength.


    (Master seems trouble by that fact?) White wolf


    (I am trouble and worry. What if I am not strong enough? You will not evolve do you know?)


    (About that, didn¡¯t something that human call guild have the crystal ball to check your power?) Brown wolf


    (?! Really?)


    (Uh¡­ I might be wrong though, master¡­) Brown wolf


    (Alright! I will check them later, but first¡­ will you help me hunt. I plan on goes to Dark Forest two days later. I am a bit late now because I was fighting with you guys.)


    (!!! Allow us to help you! We are not strong enough to go to the Dark Forest but it is indeed our dream to go there! You are strong master, so you are our hope!) Black male-like wolf


    (Oh? Hahaha, alright! I¡¯ll depend on you for the hunt then.)


    (Leave it to us! You! Stay here protects Master!) White wolf


    He leaves a strangely dark red-colored wolf with me and takes the other wolves to hunt.


    They should be able to hunt something like an adult male deer easily. I should go hunt the bird for now.


    Just when I found the rainbow rooster and forest chicken group, I found something even better. Shining gem stuck at the earthlike wall. I leave the hunting to the red wolf and start working on the gem.


    ¡°How to get that out¡­¡±


    I try to imagine the earth wall to push the gem out but didn¡¯t work. Probably the reason is that the gem itself is a magic gem. Then I got one crazy idea.


    ¡°Since the wall didn¡¯t work¡­ I should just straight fully attack the gem¡±


    By saying that I imagine the earth ground to rise like a hand and holding a large stone that is under the gem, and start throwing it to the gem.


    *Shatter*


    ¡°It¡¯s working. I am Genius!!!¡±


    I gather the gem and put it to my basket. Then I return to the spot where I promise the wolf I would wait for them. How surprising! They bring 2 adult male giant deer, and 5 white bunnies. The red wolf also manages to bring the entire forest chicken group.


    (Aw¡­ Awesome! All of you are doing it great!!)


    (!! Is¡­ is that so??) White Wolf


    (Yeah! You guys are good at this! So you can take one deer and few bunnies to eat. Then the others, allow me to sell them.)


    They are too much for me to put in the basket. So I offer some of the goods to them but was flatly refused.


    (!! The bunnies are enough for us, Master!) White wolf


    (Alright then, Wait here, I need to butch them and I will be going to the river to wash myself. So you guys take your time eating.)


    I will need to cut them into small portion and organize them well inside the basket.


    (Yes, Master!) All except red


    When I notice it, the red wolf is helping me dragging the hunt goods to the river.


    (Hey, you are not going to eat the bunnies?)


    (No. Master.)


    (Is that so¡­ I appreciate that you help me, thank you.)


    (¡­ It is my pleasure, master.)


    Then I continue to butch the meat to 1 ground each. To measure the weight is something really simple if you are single Japanese. When you buy the meat at the market, you will definitely pick it up and put it on your palm to check its price, by doing that, your body unconsciously knows the weight for the meat. Since the wolves are taking the bunnies. I have 2 giant male deer and 7 forest chicken to butch. Adding to that, while I wash myself, I also catch some fish and totals for 68 pieces of deer meat, 7 forest chicken as whole and 10 fish for sell. While I kept few deer meat to my stock, just in case.


    The fish that I catch this time mostly are poard and stoneface. Only 2 silver trouts. Other is all the delicacy of river fish.


    Adding to all that, I can sell to the trader are this list. 2 giant deer horns, 2 high-quality deer skin, 20 piece of self-made accessory. The gem, I decided to not sell it yet until I know its function.


    Like that, the morning hunt ends. I go back to the town but was stopped by the guard gate. Why? Of course it because of me got a pack of wolves following behind me. I explain it all and they let me pass. Apparently, it is not rare to have beast as pet or slave.


    I went to the trader market first to sell the goods because, it seems that they are in rushing to leave knowing aristocrats from higher class want to inspect the town. I settle down and sit between the fabrics merchant and spice trader with the wolves sitting behind me. A middle age man merchant-like figure came close to the item that was at front of me.


    ¡°Wow! This is all high quality goods! I will buy it at high price! Offer me, youngster!¡±


    ¡°Oh? You will? 1 gold and 5 silver coins for both horns.¡±


    ¡°!! You are still green at this aren¡¯t you? Since I am a fair person, I will tell you this. The price for such is at the least 2 gold for one horn.¡±


    ¡°!!! E-eh? If that so then¡­ I will sell both to you for 3 gold in exchange. Please teach me about the entire item price that you know.¡±


    ¡°I have the book of the world trading item. There should be most of the norm, here.¡±


    ¡°Thank you, very much sire!¡±


    ¡°Good luck at selling the other items! The wolves pack behind you also looks awesome. Are they yours?¡±


    ¡°Haha, thank you. Yes, they are mine.¡±


    (Do we look awesome, Master?) White wolf


    (hm? You really look strong and cool in my opinion.)


    (! Is that so? Once we have our name, we will look even cooler.) Black male wolf


    (Alright, for that you will have to wait awhile, I need to sell few more things, then we will go straight to the guild to check my power level and I will give you your name.)


    (Does that mean you already think of our name?) Brown wolf


    (Yes, I already have it all.)


    (!! Alright!! Amazing!) All


    After the chit-chat with the happy wolves, other traders came and I manage to sell the other things. The high quality deer skin, I refer to the ¡®trading item book¡¯ and manage to get 1 gold coins[100,000 y] for each skin, both for 2 gold coins, and then following with the accessory, I sell for 1 copper and 5 black coins each [1,500 y] and manage to get 30 copper/3 silver coins [30,000 y].


    Then I go to Aunty Lena Inn. Before that, I ask the wolves to stay outside the inn waiting and I went inside to sell the fish, [Aunt Lena] she was very happy to see the catch and immediately offer a good price for it. There are 4 poard, 3 stoneface and 2 silver trouts. She buy the poard for 2 copper coins each, stoneface for 1 silver coins each and the two trouts for 2 copper coins.


    By the way, she also buys 14 grounds of the deer meat which I sell 1 ground [100 gram] for 4 copper coins and 1 whole forest chicken meat for 1 silver. Saying that, she buys it for the people back in home, so the total she spent 4 silver and 64 copper coins but I give her discount and it became 4 silver and 60 copper coins equal to one gold coins. [100,000]


    Finishing my business there, I go to Uncle Barbatos Inn to sell the meat. Only 54 ground of deer meat and 6 forest chickens left with me. Then Uncle says ¡°I will buy 40 ground of deer meat and 5 forest chickens for 1 gold and 5 silver coins, the rest, let¡¯s make party for your little siblings.¡± While I was wonder about that, I accept the money anyways. Then straight away, Uncle and the kitchen staff start working on the rest for party¡¯s deer meat and the forest chicken, and Emily start pushing me toward the counter and explain things.


    ¡°Your sibling does extremely great at arithmetic! They says that they want to be of help to you and start asking for my help to teach them more than basic number but they show great result even though I only teach them the basic adding, subtract. They also do extremely well at divide and multiple. So, I thought of celebrating it for them, but father plans to wait for you and your hunt to celebrate as you are their reason of success.¡±


    She talks so fast [excited (?)] that I almost don¡¯t understand any. But I understand most of them, so does this mean Reno does well? He should be able to follow me to the forest tomorrow but I will need to teach him few skills by the night.


    ¡°Awroo! (Master! The Guild!)¡±


    ¡°E-eh? Kyaa! Wolves!!¡±


    ¡°Emily! It is alright, they are mine.¡±


    ¡°Ehh?? Is that so¡­ are they tamed?¡±


    ¡°Yes.¡±


    ¡°Awroo! (Master! The Guild!!)¡±


    ¡°Ah? Alright, sorry to delay. Emily, I will be back before night so could we celebrate it later then? Before that, let me to change my cloth, since I smell like blood here. [Only my cloth smells like that, I have washed myself perfectly at the river.]¡±


    I change my cloth back to my black long sleeves cloth and white slack pant with black borsalino hat on my head, then went straight to the adventurer guild with only red wolf and brown wolf with me. The other went upstairs to play with the kids. The red wolf as my guard and the brown wolf as my guide, we walk to the guild without delay.


    When I walk inside the adventurer guild, all the people around that sitting or standing stares upon my step¡­ what the heck??


    ¡°Excuse me; I would like to check my energy level. To whom do I refer?¡±


    ¡°Uh¡­ You can refer it here, to the crystal ball by flowing some of your energy to it.¡±


    The lady at the counter replied upon my question. Hmm¡­ this is the ball eh? Quickly I flow the energy to the crystal ball and it shone brightly with something like element ball inside the crystal ball went craze.


    ¡°So, what is my level?¡±


    ¡°!!! Sire, you are level 5!¡±


    Eh? Level 5, pretty low eh¡­ from one to ten, I only score 5?


    ¡°So low¡­¡±


    (Master! That is high for a human! Or even magical beast. It only 2 level lower than the Demon Lord)


    (Oh? Is that so?)


    ¡°Thanks for the crystal ball. Do I need to pay or something?¡±


    ¡°Ah¡­ No, it is free of charge to check your level but if you want to register or taking mission from our guild, then there is fee.¡±


    ¡°I don¡¯t plan on becoming an adventurer though~ thanks anyway. See ya.¡±


    ¡°E-eh??? B-But sire! If you become our adventurer, you can have free room for yourself and there are special treat if you success fully doing the B to S class mission. Please Register~~¡±


    ¡°Nope, thanks for the offer.¡± After ignoring the girl offer, I just exit the guild, or I was trying to exit. A buffed man with big sword behind his back stopping me from exiting.


    ¡°Such a swindler. I know your trick. You confuse the spirit inside the crystal ball to raise your energy level! If you are so strong then fight me!¡±


    While he was wasting his time talking, and pointing his uselessly big sword to my direction, I was telepathy-ing with the wolves.


    (Attack him, he waste our precious times.)


    (Yes Master!) Red


    ¡°Awroo!!¡±


    The red wolf attacks him by jumping and biting him from limp to limp.


    ¡°Ah! No! Don¡¯t! Don¡¯t kill me!!! I¡¯m sorry!! Urk--¡±


    *Blood splutter*


    And it the ends of the buffed man life.


    I¡¯m glad, the kingdom has rule like [1] It is alright to kill someone if it was a duel that been accepted by both party. [2] Anything that is yours can be count as part of your weapon or armor.


    With the feeling of satisfied, I walk leisurely outside of the guild. The detail of the man corpse is too gory to be explaining, so I won¡¯t tell. Please put some mosaic on him. The guild probably will have problem cleaning my mess, so I throw a gold coin to the corpse and told them that the gold coin is as thanks for the guild to clean my mess.


    Everyone on-look nodded furiously showing that they understand and the girl at the counter call someone to clean the mess.


    And so, I walk back to Uncle Inn and sit at the yard behind the inn with all the wolves plus the two kids.


    ¡°Alright! I will start be naming all of you.¡±


    ¡°Awroo(Yes!) Yay~¡±


    ¡°Not you two.¡±


    ¡°Boooo~~~¡±


    ¡°Quiet! ¡­Alright, I will start now.¡±


    As I have been thinking for their name, I gave them their name. The white wolf, Snow even though he is male, I think its fine because Snow can be androgynous-like name, then, the black female wolf as Meg and the male as Orb, the brown wolf as Rem, the red wolf, Akai as in Red.


    After I was naming Akai, suddenly fall into a state where I feel really weak. Why?


    ¡¸Clam Forest Tribe evolved to Greater Wolves Tribe. Individual named Akai has evolve personally into a rare being called were-wolf.¡¹


    Ah¡­ So that¡­ is why¡­


    ¡°Master, Thanks for the energy, I will work hard to assist you from now on.¡±


    A man with dark red hair and wolf ear on his head whispers that while carrying me in his wide arm. If my sister from the previous world¡­ she will probably scream out of happiness for this¡­ she is an extreme fujoshi¡­ ah, how I miss her and the kid¡­ I should sleep now, I feel very tired¡­


    ¡°! Eline! Close your eyes! Wolf, no, Akai-san. Please wait here while I bring something to cover you lower body!¡±


    ¡°I obey your order, master Reno.¡±


    (Hey~ how come you able to change into human?)


    (¡­ I wish to protect him¡­ Not to serve him.)


    (Uh¡­ your wish is deeper eh¡­)


    S¡­shut up¡­ let me sleep peacefully¡­


    ¡­¡­¡­

 Chapter 5.5: Side Story Series: About Hero and Demon King [Part 1]

    Chapter 5: S-series: About Hero and Demon King


    My name is Shun, Shinosuke Migami. In 3<sup>rd</sup> year of high school, I am a normal student, but how should I say it¡­ I was a normal student until¡­


    ¡¸Shun! Shun! Wake up! This is bad¡­¡¹


    Mira, my childhood friend wakes me up with her loud voice.


    ¡¸Where is¡­ hah?¡¹


    How surprising, I saw a gallant feature knight-like, vivid aura king-like, bishounen prince and few people that seem to cosplay like a wizard.


    ¡¸Thank goodness, it is a success. Heroes, please save our kingdom from befallen.¡¹


    The king suddenly bows and the other around him also bows to us¡­ HAH? HEROES?


    ¡¸Shun¡­ it seems that we have enter a different world¡­ they say that we have special ability, and we are Heroes that will help them defeat the demon army.¡¹


    Kouta help me standing and explain almost everything.


    ¡¸Such a thing actually happen¡­ I thought it was just fantasy in manga¡­ ¡¹


    ¡¸Yes, it is happening right to us. So we have no excuses to avoid the reality.¡¹


    ¡¸Have they explain everything to you, heroes? ¡¹


    A youthful girl suddenly appears next to the king, her appearance is all over white. Practically white except her eyes there is a bit shadow and red small lip that makes her look a bit alive.


    ¡¸Do not panic, I am the oldest generation of heroes. I am in-charge to assist you in this world.


    Though I say heroes, I am not from your world. I am from another star different from yours.¡¹


    ¡¸How do you expect us to not panic! We are just a normal teenager! ¡¹


    Mira shout angrily.


    ¡¸Normal? I don¡¯t think so¡­ Cast ¡°Status¡±. You¡¯ll know what I mean.¡¹


    Though we are still confused and hesitated, we do as she told.


    Then, an illusion? No, it¡¯s our status¡­ appear right in front of our face.


    ¡ºName: Shun | Title: Hero Energy Level: 4 star 5


    Level: 1 | Race: Human | Element: Holy


    Ability: The Ruler of Sword


    Skill: Appraisal [LV 1] | Sword Creation [LV 1] | Pierce [LV 1] | Slash [LV 1] | Holy Enchantment [LV 1]¡»


    And then, my instinct as a gamer was let out, I am excited. Mira was panicking but Kouta sooth her by saying that she will be fine, he will protect her. I don¡¯t care about my family back in earth, what I¡¯m interest is that my life will no longer be bored. Because, rather than Mira that was a number one bishoujo that always got number 1 and 2 in international mock exam, I have no brain except game knowledge. Then, compare with the bishounen Kouta, I just have average looking and average stamina with average fame.


    My life is total boring, but since I was friend with these two, couldn¡¯t be helping it but I envy them. Now, I will leave my boring life and enjoy this world. This is an opportunity for me.


    ¡­Did you know this text is from a different site? Read the official version to support the creator.


    Apparently, the girl [?] the oldest hero, she couldn¡¯t see our ability and level but she could feel that we have godly power. I wasn¡¯t honest with my ability, I say that my ability is Illusion and energy level 4 didn¡¯t say how much star I have. But Mira and Kouta are honest; Mira has the Ruler of Blessing while Kouta has the Ruler of Shield.


    The oldest hero, Crescent, she notice that I was lying but didn¡¯t say much, then start explaining that there also few people from other world has incarnate and travel into this world. Which mean, other kingdom also has Hero but perhaps or not they might not be Japanese or came from earth like us?


    She also mentions that once everything has end, Hero can decide to return back to previous world or stay. Her team and the heroes¡¯ team before us choose to return but she decided to stay. Just then, a petite princess came intrude and mention that the old hero choose to stay because her beloved grave is here.


    Mira cries and Kouta just apologized about it, I do nothing else than nodding.


    Also, it seems that the kingdom that we are protecting is Juvelium and it is next to a desert that extremely hot and dry live a kingdom ruled by a demon king, Belphegor. Its appearance is a human figure but his skin is dark and his eye and hair are white. His lowest army is earth golem, sand worm, golden savage and mummy.


    I became extremely excited, and ask even more things. Such as is it possible to gain level, or is there any training ground before we actually wage war, then she say there is a small field fill with similarly monster but the level rise if we goes further closer to the enemy kingdom. Then, I ask about magic, apparently, skill is depending on element and rank. So to gain skill is to be honest with my level¡­ I decide to not ask any further.


    However, she continue explain that if we create skill of our own, we will hear the voice of heaven, which also a teaching of this world church. Cool.


    Just then, the night came and we decide to rest. But I didn¡¯t sleep, I practice my skill, I decide to test Sword creation but thinking that they would know my real power is nuisance so I give up. Hence, I just make a simple blade and practice Slash and Pierce in my room. Also, I appraisal everything that I could but when it become to much, I got headache so I stop for awhile and went to sleep.


    ¡­


    ¡ºWe decided that we have no need for you.


    Shun, we are sorry but please get out from this kingdom.


    You are dishonest with your power, so we must avoid risk of having traitor.¡»


    w-what the heck?!


    ¡ºHere map, and few gold coins for life necessity. Please exit this kingdom. ¡»


    This¡­ is this how you going to treat me?! Mira!? Kouta?! Damn it, Crescent!!


    My two friend look at me with disdain then, the knight threw me out from the palace harshly.


    ¡¸Fine¡­ if this is how you treat me¡­ I will make you regret it.¡¹


    ¡¸um¡­ sire, though it might not be important but¡­¡¹


    Suddenly a male of his 20 in guard like uniform, tap my right shoulder from behind.


    ¡¸Hah?¡¹


    ¡¸As I say just now¡­ I suggest that you should head to the Dark Forest¡­ though it might be risky but I think you a Hero could live there just fine.¡¹


    ¡¸No, I mean why you are helping me.¡¹


    ¡¸though I may not look like it, but my father is the previous hero¡­ which also a victim of the oldest hero, lady Crescent. Here.¡¹


    That man hand me a thick book, there is a title written at the upper layer; ¡°Ruzamberg in Alsia¡±.


    ¡¸What is¡­¡¹


    ¡¸I couldn¡¯t help you anymore than this¡­ I¡¯m sure you can read it just fine if you are a Hero.¡¹


    ¡¸Than¡ªHey¡­¡¹


    Even before I get his name and thank him, his gone running into the crowd.


    Ruzamberg, perhaps his father¡¯s name and Alsia surely this world name according to that bitch words.


    I kept the book inside my jacket, and then went to the town to check if there is something that can make fire. Judging from that lad word, I really should live in Dark Forest because soon this kingdom will spread that I as a traitor. I will no longer become a Hero.


    ¡­


    After I read the book, I do everything accordingly to what that book says. Firstly, regain my calm and register to an adventurer guild, check your level and get an adventurer ID. This way even if you are label as traitor, the kingdom or any kingdom could do nothing to you unless they place a bounty on you. Before that happen, you should increase your level as many- ah no¡­ rather than level, increase your skill as maximum as possible. After that, you should head toward Dark Forest.


    Dark Forest filled with numerous monster, the deeper you went into the center of its heart, the stronger the monster get. After getting the adventurer ID, seek for a group with low level than yours that willing to go to Dark Foret with you.


    Life necessity, your power [minimum level 3], fire stone, poison antidote, traps, health potion, About Dark Forest the book. All for 5 gold coins.


    Now you are ready to go.


    That is the chapter 1 of it¡¯s contain, with everything prepares I stay at the inn for three days and met up with the low level team, we went to the dark forest outer layer.


    Crescent, it is my vow that I will settle thing with you before I end this life of mine.

 Chapter 6: Obtain a Sparring Partner

    Chapter 6: Obtain a Sparring partner.


    ¡°Should we wake him?¡±


    ¡°Awroo!¡±


    ¡°No, just let him sleep, Kail will wake up if he is hungry¡­¡±


    ¡°Oh¡­ Alright then.¡±


    ¡­ Something smells delicious¡­


    ¡°Master¡¯s nose is twitching¡­¡±


    ¡­ Was that Akai¡¯ voice...? What happen just now¡­? Did I collapse?


    ¡°mmgh¡­ A..kai¡­¡±


    ¡°Yes, Master. I heed your words.¡±


    ¡°!... ¡±


    I can understand that he want to help me, but¡­ is there any need for you to hold my hand and kneel like a butler, Akai??


    ¡°Let my hand go¡­ Help me up.¡±


    ¡°I obey your order.¡±


    He push my back to help me up and I check my surrounding, Uncle, the inn staff, the kids and surprisingly Aunt Lena also here, with bunch of wolves. They already start the party without me, tsk¡­ and I check the sky just to see it already dark¡­ It already night¡­ I didn¡¯t get to buy anything today¡­ Even though I have many things to regret, I walk to the kids and start patting their head while saying ¡°congratulations for success fully learn arithmetic. I will give something soon as your congratulate gift.¡±


    Perhaps, I should buy them wand too¡­ to make the control better¡­


    ¡°!! Onii-sama~!¡±


    ¡°Kail-nii! Thanks a lot!¡±


    Both of them hugging me tightly, I-I¡¯m choking~! Help here! They finally let go, hah¡­ kids strength¡­


    ¡°Alright, since the person in topic has waked up, let¡¯s celebrate!!¡±


    ¡°hm?¡±


    ¡°Happy birthday Kail!!


    ¡°??!!¡± w-what??


    ¡°Surprise aren¡¯t you?? Forgot that today is your birthday?¡±


    ¡°I¡­ Ah¡­ I remember it now, hehe¡­ Thank you everyone¡­¡±


    ¡°Alright~! Blow the candle here~ Wish for something¡±


    Emily held out the birthday cake to my face and I blow it. I am already way old to wish for something.


    Then, we start eating, chatting and dancing for a while. The inn staff went back to work after eating the barbeque of meat that I hunt, while the kids are playing with Emily, and the wolf. Uncle Barbatos and Aunty Lena sit with me at the stone table at the yard with Akai standing next to me.


    ¡°Want some?¡±


    Aunt Lena shows a bottle of cold beer inviting me to drink.


    ¡°Sure. Thanks.¡±


    She pours drink to my cup and to Uncle Barbatos cup, uncle start talking all of a sudden.


    ¡°Aren¡¯t they nice kids?¡±


    ¡°hmm? Ah yes, they are indeed nice.¡±


    Apparently, it was Reno and Eline idea¡¯s to celebrate my birthday, since they are the only one I told my birthdates to. How do I know my birthdates? I don¡¯t. But somehow I can feel it. How do I explain? It is complicate feeling, back when Kail was a teen, he was grieving upon the 3 kids death and his only friend leaving him alone at the slum and so that his friend could leave to become someone else child. It was the same date like today but since many years ago, I suddenly feel as if my bodies become so light, and feel like someone hugging me from behind. Then I was guessing, that probably my birthday because ever since then, because every time the date came, I will feel exactly the same.


    But it stops once ¡®I¡¯ the person from Japan incarnate into this body. No one explain anything to me but I can guess it all just by gut feeling.


    ¡°By the way, Kail. Barbatos has told me about your plan. Are you serious? Ah no¡­ Are you going to be alright?¡±


    ¡°What does that mean?¡±


    ¡°You plan to leave the town, right? But where to?¡±


    When she asks the question, I already expected it already; calmly I gulp the beer down.


    ¡°kuh~¡­ ha¡­ The Dark forest.¡±


    ¡°WHAT!¡±


    Both uncle and aunt stand up, as expected of their reaction. Dark Forest is not place for human to live. Both of them, stuttering and start complaining to me. I ignore them that were complaining and say my reason.


    ¡°I already expect this, though you say living in town is better but my life style is just going to be as boring as hell. I am strong, clever but I came from the slums, a place which kid was seen as nuisances, even church won¡¯t accept us.¡±


    ¡°¡­¡±


    ¡°Just my gut feeling, if I live in Dark Forest, I can make a living for kids like us. Perhaps it risky, but that¡¯s the thrill of living. If I live here safely, and just enough with what I have, it won¡¯t have that much of different than when I live in the slum.¡±


    ¡°The kids are following?¡± (Aunt Lena)


    ¡°They don¡¯t know about it yet, I will ask them, 4 days later. That is when I depart, and the wolves will definitely follow me, since it¡¯s their dream to go there.¡±


    ¡°Ha~ahh¡­ ¡± (Aunt Lena)


    ¡°Kail, I am fine with your decision, because I saw your growth since the first time you came here ¡®takes¡¯ my thing.¡± [Barb]This story has been stolen from Royal Road. If you read it on Amazon, please report it


    ¡°Haha, that is all old business, uncle~ forget about already~¡±


    ¡°No I would not, it still bad thing to do. Either way, you came to ¡®takes¡¯ one time and I used to have bad impression on you. But when you are a teenager, Eline is sick and you come begging and groveling to the floor to borrow some money to buy medicine. Then, I always start watching over you and notice that you always take the beating to let the kids run away. Since then, I got a feeling, this kid is not bad.¡± [Barb]


    ¡°¡­ Uncle¡­ Damn, you make me shy for nothing here, hahaha.¡±


    I rub my nose feeling my face warms up.


    ¡°Ah, when you talk about that, I remember the time you beg me for my kitchen knife. What did you do with it anyway?¡± [Lena]


    ¡°¡­ Don¡¯t get angry, okay? Here¡­¡±


    I show her the small knife that I use to craft and butch the hunt goods.


    ¡°E-eh?? Just how did that large knife become like this?? You!¡±


    She chocked my collar, and I start to ¡®complain¡¯. Even though she is a woman, the muscle seen at her arm wasn¡¯t a joke.


    ¡°You say to use the knife as I feel like it! So I use it for many things and when I notice, it has already become so small that my hand can¡¯t grip it like before.¡±


    ¡°Urgh¡­ My beloved Stephanie¡­¡±


    You actually name it? Damn you old unmarried lady. To use your strength on me is something uncalled for. Uncle has been laughing all along amused. By the way, Akai has been giving advices to Reno to train his body so he does not see this scene. Akai, though he may not look like it, he has the ability to use magic, his body also strong and even stronger than Snow. Snow as the leader of the wolf pack is just weak in combat one-on-one with him but Snow definitely a great leader better than the previous Clam wolf tribe leader.


    Akai is werewolf while Snow and the other wolf as Greater Wolf, even bigger than normal size wolf. When I ask Akai, why he evolve as werewolf rather than Greater Wolf, he says something like ¡°I wish to protect master rather than serving you.¡± If I am a girl in otome games, this will definitely trigger the event, but I am a man damn it! Though in previous life, I gave up on relationship, that doesn¡¯t mean I stop loving girl!


    ¡°-yawn-~~¡±


    ¡°hm? Eline, already sleepy?¡±


    ¡°Reno-nii¡­ mmm¡­ sleepy¡­¡±


    Hm? Oh, I didn¡¯t realize it at all, it already midnight.


    ¡°Reno, Eline, goes upstairs and sleeps.¡± I stop them from playing anymore and pointing my finger to Reno and Akai. ¡°Ah, wait¡­ Reno, You. Don¡¯t sleep, I need to teach you magic.¡±


    ¡°! Yes, Kail-nii!¡±


    ¡°I abide your order, master.¡±


    Then I stand up from the seat and says farewell to everyone, and goes to the room. The wolves also follow and sleep inside the room as the room is enough for everyone, but there¡¯s only one large bed enough for the kids, so the wolves sleep on the floor which I also does. Akai, give his idea and rejected straight away. How could he offer such thing? To sleep on other man bodies is¡­ forbidden or I¡¯ll really fall to the ¡®Yaoi¡¯ world, plus¡­ he is macho damn it!! Those guy out there, don¡¯t you dare be disgusted seeing me! At least pity me! Don¡¯t laugh at me either!


    ¡°Alright, Reno, to congratulate you for doing well at arithmetic, I will now teach you magic.¡±


    ¡°Finally!¡±


    ¡°But first, do you know the reason why I ask you to learn arithmetic?¡±


    ¡°uh¡­ No?¡±


    ¡°It is to train your brain which can be says mental training that can help build your ¡®Energy¡¯. Your magic power is high but since you have almost zero ¡®energy¡¯, to create something is not possible for you. Thus, I have you learn arithmetic and when you have done that, your mental training is almost complete.¡±


    ¡°So, does that mean, I can cast magic, no?¡±


    ¡°Yes. I will teach you the first level of water manipulation skill. Give me your chalk board and chalk. Your training starts now.¡±


    We went to the yard again to train, only Akai following us and I start to draw some image on the chalk board. The first skill to have him learn is water ball. I draw circle-like water and ask Reno to imagine it at front of his palm. At first he having trouble to do that, but by second tries he succeed. I call upon a dummy made out of earth in front of him. Then orders him to soak the dummy with the water ball by throwing it. He succeeds at throwing but he missed the target. Thus I ask him to always train like this whenever he has free time, then I teach him the second skill; the water blade.


    I draw a crescent shape, and then ask him to imagine it and do the same to thing like water ball to the dummy. Like I expected, he missed but scarily the result is the yard fences is cut perfectly like a katana cut. I warn him to be careful with this skill and to not use it unless necessary. He tilt his head showing wonder and disagreement at first, then I warn him saying if he does not obey, I won¡¯t teach him anything again and still explain that the water ball function.


    Water ball, seems useless at first but if you know how to use it, you can avoid needless fight. First of all, water ball can be use to soak the opponent, which can make the opponent easily slip the weapon of his grip and his movement become a bit slow since the cloth is soaked and making his movement a bit awkward. Water ball, that missed the target will soaked the ground and make the ground slippery, if your luck is good, your enemy will fall in embarrassing possible pose. Another thing is, if you make the water ball large enough to fill your enemy inside it, you can kill that person but that need large amount of magic power and amazing magic control [great mental training].


    Also, water ball is a good skill for control practice but I left out that fact for him to learn the truth himself.


    He stops complaining, rather than that, he have refreshing look at his face, promising me that he will keep train from now on and went straight to the room to sleep. I stay at the yard and start sparring with Akai. He does not talk much, but a man talk with his fist or so my experience says, so I invite him to spar and he accepts without hesitation. Nothing worth mentioning but, I change my cloth into something much more simple that wouldn¡¯t limit my movement. Bare body with only black knee-length pant and bare feet.


    While sparring, I thought of testing my other element and make them into an elemental ball. Then I realize¡­ I have 7 type of element.


    The premiere element as earth, fire, dark and wind, while secondary element is light, poison and ice.


    I wonder why my ice is even more powerful than fire but then I remember¡­


    I share my energy especially to Akai, and his base element is fire. Also, other than that, I found out my magic power vessel [Mana Perimeter] is way too large.


    I can cast 7 different element balls palm size at once and it only cost around bit part of my magic vessel, around 1%?


    Then, while sparring, Akai change into his wolf form. Ahh¡­ his cloth lay to the ground¡­ if he change into human form again, he will be naked. While I think all that, his speed suddenly increases drastically.


    ¡°wow! So fast!¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m happy to hear your praise, master¡±


    He really fast, I can¡¯t see anything at all, not evens his shadow. Then I thought of crazy idea, I gather my ¡®energy¡¯ to my eyes and I found him! I cancel all my elemental balls and cast a stone wall to corner him, and then I jump right above him.


    ¡°Hyah!¡±


    I pin him down and point my fist to his face. It¡¯s my win.


    ¡°I lose¡­¡±


    ¡°That was close¡­ You are strong Akai, if I didn¡¯t get the idea to use the ¡®hidden eye¡¯, I will definitely lose.¡± Hooray! I don¡¯t know how I manage to get those ideas though.


    ¡°Ah, master is being humble¡­ I¡¯ll accept it as praise.¡± He says it while his tail happily wags side to side.


    After the duel, he turns back to human form and sits down next to me. While bowing down to me, he request odd things.


    ¡°Master! Please teach this one, skill if you find it is not troubling you while you teach Reno-sama.¡±


    ¡°E-eh?? Skills?¡±


    ¡°I lack experience in the same way, I lack skill even though I am much stronger than Snow and the others.¡±


    ¡°Ah¡­ Now you say it¡­ all you does just now is to run around me and waiting for openings. You are strong but lack the skill eh¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­ Yes¡­¡±


    He lowers his head in agreement.


    ¡°Ah¡­ I don¡¯t think I would be trouble to teach both of you at the same time, but I would need you to do something for me.¡±


    ¡°? Please order me as you see fit.¡±


    ¡°Always spars with me at night like this.¡±


    ¡°!... It is my utmost pleasure to do such thing. Thank you, master¡­ to agree with my selfish wish.¡±


    With a butler-like one leg kneel poses, he thanks me.


    ¡°Nah~ it nothing big, plus I wish for you to always be my sparring partner, so you have to follow my greed all along too~¡± Yep, it was my plan all along, killing one bird with two stones. Now, while grinning I look more like a pervert rather than villain.


    ¡°Ah~ I have been had¡­ hahaha¡±


    That smile could kill any young lady, I should warn him to not smile too much to others or he will suffer great misery [Girls crowding him].

 Chapter 7: Meeting is always Unexpected

    Chapter 7: Meeting is always unexpected.


    ¡­ Fluffy¡­ the bird is chirping¡­ is it morning? Ah¡­ I don¡¯t want to wake up¡­ bit more¡­


    ¡°¡­ !!¡±


    In a hurry I woke up from the fluffy pillow [the wolf body], damn! It was the first time I over slept! Why no one wakes me! Oh¡­ I never ask them to but¡­ Argh!! Now I miss my chance to sell the hunt item to the traders¡­ grr¡­


    ¡°¡­ Master?¡±


    ¡°HM?!¡±


    Infuriated, I glance toward the voice direction. It was Akai, and he freezes by my glares¡­ he woke earlier than I did¡­ the other wolves too¡­ The kids are still sleeping; I tried my best to not make noises. Hah¡­ I sighed and glance toward Akai¡­ The rage cools down just the moment I see them. After calm myself, I voice my plan to Akai.


    ¡°Though it a bit late, lets go hunt.¡±


    ¡°! Let me wake Master Reno then.¡±


    ¡°Sure, I will get my stuff while you do that. Snow, you will stay here protect Eline¡­ ah no¡­ you can go anywhere you or Eline want. Here the money inside the money bag, shop all you want. Your job is to protect yourselves and Eline at utmost cares. Have fun.¡±


    ¡°Awroo!! (We abide your order Master!)¡±


    ¡°Be sure to come back before noon or I will make sure you regret disobeying me.¡±


    ¡°-squeel-! (We will never dare to disobey you even if you don¡¯t say that.)¡± (Snow)


    I gave them a money bag with 5 silver and 8 copper and 25 black coins [60,500 y] for them to shop. By the way, I had around 680,000 [y] the yesterday profit and minus to the money I gave them, I have around 619,500 [y] left in my money bag. Thrice the amount of day ago profits.


    After warning them, and gave out order, I wear my casual cloth and bring the usual hunting stuff. Today, I didn¡¯t wear the adventurer cloth because¡­ I¡¯m not the one that going to hunt. I am going to teach Reno and Akai, skill and train them to fight. Though the trader is still not leaving, but by the time I finish train Reno and Akai, they will leave the town. So, my only option is to sell the goods of today hunt, tomorrow. By that time, I can enchant the item a bit and sell for an even better price.


    Also, the leftover meat of yesterday hunt that was not for sell, I put them in a wooden box around 8¡± x 12¡± and cover it with ice magic. I did not forget to hide it under bed because it is an emergency food. Then I¡¯m done preparing, Akai also have wakes Reno up.


    After Reno woke up, Akai carries the hunting stuff while I carry the chalk board and chalk in my medium size rear bag made from black leather cloth [self-made]. Then we head to the Clam Forest and start to train. Abandon the plan to sell any of the hunts good, I try another plan.


    Oh, the gate guard didn¡¯t greet us or says anything. Rather than normal disgust, or yesterday friendly look, today they look cautious. My appearance is one of a gentleman, Akai is wearing Barbatos old casual, with small blade at his left rear and he look like normal mercenary if he does not have any ear or tail then¡­ Reno looks alike one of the aristocrat son. The guards just let us pass and bow, without saying much.


    Then, we arrive at my usual hunting spot, near the river.


    ¡°Alright.¡± I say and clap my hands once.


    ¡°Akai, Reno¡­ Before I teach both of you skill, I need you to check something.¡± While saying such thing, I show them a crystal ball from my small bag which commonly sees at any adventurer guild. I bought this at the guild a bit morning before heads out to the Clam Forest.


    ¡°How to¡­¡± (Reno)


    ¡°Imagine, something light blue thin aura flowing from your brain to your vein then to your forefinger and point it to the ball. That is call, magic force aka energy which allow you to check your level if you point it to this ball.¡±


    ¡°Such a thing¡­ isn¡¯t this expensive?¡± while looking at the crystal ball, [Reno] he holds it like it is something very fragile and important.


    If you not holding it carefully it will fall you know? Not that it¡¯s matter.


    ¡°Cost me one gold coin. But it can keep being used and we need it the frequently so, it is not a pain to own one.¡±


    ¡°!¡± His eyes open wide while muttering ¡°one¡­one gold??¡± and ¡°Ahh!¡± his hand slip the crystal ball ¡°Urgh!¡± He falls to the ground on stomach first protecting the crystal ball¡­


    ¡°PFft¡­¡±


    ¡°u..uuuhh¡­¡± With teary eyes, he stares at me while his ear as red as cherry.


    ¡°*cough* Ehem. It won¡¯t crash no matter what you do¡­ unless, you put a really huge amount of magic force to it, and then it will break. But that only if your level surpasses level 7 or so the girl behind the counter says¡­¡±


    When I say such thing he calmly stands up and mutters again.


    ¡°Is that so, then I¡¯ll start¡­¡±


    Without hesitating, Reno does as I told him. Meanwhile, Akai behind me has been staring me all along.


    ¡°W-what is it¡­Akai?¡±


    ¡°Master, what is the point of checking?¡±


    ¡°Oh? Didn¡¯t you hear that I--¡±


    ¡°Sure I hear Master well enough, and it was something that Rem told master before too. But I don¡¯t see the point of doing it?¡±


    ¡°Ah¡­ Well, I¡¯ll explain it later in full details. But I can say that this is essential for me to teach you skill.¡±


    Proudly I put my arm to arm and grin while explain it to him. By then, I notice Reno crystal ball shone bright but unlike mine, the crystal ball glow yellow bluish and much dimmer than mine. The spirit inside only touch his energy and have pleasant expression.


    ¡°¡­Nii-sama¡­ What is my level?¡±


    ¡°hm? Ah¡­ Your level is 2 with 3 stars and to be expected, your elements are greater water and lesser light.¡±


    By what I mean star is, level point.


    Mine in exact is level 5 with 5 star.


    Full star mean 5 stars.


    The higher the amount of star, the greater the quality of your level.


    ¡°Akai, you¡¯re next.¡±


    ¡°By no mean of delay.¡±


    As to be expected. The crystal ball glows brightly crimson red and the spirit eat the energy with full satisfaction expression inside the ball.


    ¡°Your level is 3 with 5 stars. Element is Pure Fire.¡±


    ¡°What does it mean by the level, star and the element pure or lesser?¡±


    As expected for my number one disciple, Reno asks me with great curiosity and the question is great too.


    ¡°I¡¯ll explain one by one.¡±


    Hence I explain it to them, starting with skill.


    Skill, a type of magic action, which anyone capable to do it if they know what their level is.


    Where as Level is a perimeter of our total strength.


    Everyone inside the world has magic inside themselves, but not everyone can make full use of it. Even those that were said to have no magic; they actually have magic but no element within them, those magic is called Magic Force or Energy to be exact.


    Therefore, the level exists.


    And skill rank is divided to Less, Mid, Great, King, Heavenly, Godly. Lesser skill can be used by everyone accordingly their element or some skill can be use with no restriction at all. Mid is the same with lesser but only those with level 2 and more can use them. While Greater skill can be use by those levels 2 and more but need at least 4 stars concentration quality. King rank is skill for those level 4 and above. Heavenly rank is skill for those level 7 and above and Godly almost didn¡¯t exist at a certain point, but I¡¯m sure it exist somewhere in this world.


    Stars, is the quality of concentration of the magic user. As the quality rose up, you can control your magic better.


    Then I explain to them about the element rank. There are lesser, less, average, great, greater, pure, unique, and ancient. For example, Reno lesser light element, even if he is level 2 and star 3. His light element does not have great power to it unlike his greater water element. Even if, he doesn¡¯t have good control of magic or great skill, any water magic skill can definitely kills. I didn¡¯t teach him any light skill for now because I didn¡¯t have any skill in mind for it.


    Akai, Pure Fire is different. Unlike Reno, he doesn¡¯t have any other element, and his element is surprisingly powerful. Pure rank is not that rare, but it is indeed something valuable. Plus he have 5 stars of concentration quality, he isn¡¯t something to made fun of.


    Then unique and ancient isn¡¯t introduced to them, because I see no need and wanting to quickly train them.


    ¡°And so, you guys understand all of it?¡±


    ¡°Yes, Nii-sama(Reno)/Master(Akai)¡±


    After having they take up simple poses, which is standing. I decided to have Reno step aside and train him the yesterday skill with the dummy that I made. Then I upfront Akai, with chalk and chalkboard at my hand.


    ¡°Alright, as promised, I will teach you skill.¡±


    ¡°! Thank you for your generosity, master!¡±


    ¡°The name of the offensive skill is Fire ball [Less], Flame circle [Mid] and Flame Thrower [Great]. Enchant skill, Fire enchanting [Great].¡±


    Starting with fire ball, I drew fire ball at the chalk board and have him do it. Then I ask him to make 4 more and have them circle his body within his arm length.


    I explain that it was called Flame circle. After that I made fives earth dummy to surround him.


    Then, I ask him to imagine the entire fire ball to thrust at fast speed to each different direction.


    ¡°Ta-daa~¡± I say and explain that it was a Flame thrower. All three skills are in a set, but fire ball can be use as solo skill. ¡°It is a¡­ set?¡± with an eye brow frown and another raise in question, Akai look confused.The author''s content has been appropriated; report any instances of this story on Amazon.


    ¡°Yup. How was it?¡± While asking that, my right palm point to the earth dummy.


    Every each dummy had a hole and is burning furiously. To avoid having the forest burn, I order Reno to put it out. But as the fire is too powerful, Reno only able to put out by bit since he miss the target and I myself also almost had bit trouble to put it out with ice skill.


    Ah, forgot to explain, even though Akai fire is pure element, my ice able to put his fire off.


    In a line, my earth element ranks unique, light ranks pure, dark and wind rank greater, ice ranks great, poison and fire rank average.


    Then, even though my ice ranks lower than his, my level and his differ by 2 steps. It¡¯s complicate but I understand how it works. Even if one element is pure or ancient, if their level is much lower than yours then, you could still win even if your element is a lesser rank and you have higher rank skill. Also your experience is count. So in real battle, no one can expect what could happen.


    Since Akai and Reno look confused by what happen, I decided to explain to them all of it.


    ¡°And that¡¯s how it goes. So in battle, you need to have extra cautious of what happen, so no carelessness [no plan] allowed.¡±


    ¡°We understand.¡±


    ¡°Therefore, from now on, have your concentration rose and I¡¯ll teach you even more skill, Reno. Akai, I¡¯ll start to teach you how to enchant.¡±


    ¡°By any means, I¡¯ll follow your order.¡±


    ¡°So, I have to play with the dummy until my star reach 5?¡±


    ¡°Yes Reno. Don¡¯t get upset, not everyone born with exceptional talent, so you have to appreciate what you have and work hard!¡±


    ¡°um. Mm!¡±


    ¡®There you go~ that¡¯s the spirit.¡¯ After console and having Reno continues his training, I have Akai in poses standby with his right hand grip the blade holder.


    I start have him imagine the blade to cover in flame by the time he drew the blade out. This is the skill Fire Enchanting.


    Success! I shout. Then I have him slash the forest tree.


    ¡°Da-Dangerous!! Whew!¡±


    If I hadn¡¯t jumped, I¡¯ll be the one that got slashed. Again, I have Reno break out the fire. This time, he doesn¡¯t need my help because the control is getting better but just to be safe, I say that he still need more training but that will take for later.


    Right now, I make a competition. It is up to them to use skill or not.


    ¡°Two hour starting from¡­Now!¡±


    Both of them scatter while I sat down planning (relaxing).


    Right now is around 10 o¡¯clock morning, the trader should leave the town by noon. So I gave up upon the idea of selling any of the good to them but the meat still can be sold to the inn. Ah, about that I can¡¯t sell any more meat to Barbatos or Lena inn because they have 1 year worth of stock since they buy some from me and some from the other random seller. I have to seek for new place to sell them out.


    About money, I have enough of them now if I want to buy other things for the Dark Forest exploration~ But it won¡¯t hurt to have more than needed. I can buy more cloth and necessity for the kid, me and Akai too¡­


    Then Akai¡­ I need to do something about his cloth¡­ is there any magic cloth that can automatically disappear when he become wolf and reappear when he become human?


    After obtaining all necessity¡­ isn¡¯t it a pain to carry so many thing when travelling, is there any magic bag or skill that¡­ AH!


    Dark ELEMENT!!


    ¡°Come on, concentrate¡­¡±


    On the leather bag, with white chalk I drew a circle and another circle, with some scribble scripting and a symbol. Then, by bleed my finger; I place the blood to the center of the circle.


    ¡°Whew¡­ hope this work.¡±


    I place my palm to the ¡®magic circle¡¯ and imagine, pouring my dark element to it.


    ¡¸A new skill is created. Will you name the skill [??] or leave it to World Voice.¡¹


    ?? The heck? Of course I will name it!


    (Skill name [Inventory].)


    ¡¸Inventory has been scripted as Dark Element King Rank skill.


    Info: Magic Circle that can be scripting to an item like ¡®bag¡¯ by Dark Element user. The space inside the item is according to user Energy level.


    Level 4 users have a space of 1 store house.


    Level 5 users have a space of 1 castle.


    Level 6 users have a space of 3 human kingdoms.


    Level 7 users have a space of ? World size.


    Level 8 -10 users have a space of unlimited/error size.¡¹


    ¡°Damn cheat~ muhahaha!¡±


    ¡¸Extra: This skill is named by Raphael Frey Alder, just by cast the skill name. You can use this skill without having to imagine.


    Since the skill is in scripting. To not have the bag with you, you are not able to cast the skill.¡¹


    Ah¡­ That one is my fault, I should have script it at my body part but seeing as it already done, it isn¡¯t something that troubling. Plus, the item is not really inside the bag, but in the space.


    Which can be called space create, it really inside the space. I test the skill by putting a stone inside it but when I shook the bag, nothing came out. But when I cast ¡®Inventory¡¯, and reach inside the bag, I able to take out the stone. Dor**mon!


    Since there is inventory, I try to make Inventory Box!


    Failed. But since the skill is ready, I put the magic jewel from the previous hunt into the bag.


    I didn¡¯t know what element or what to imagine¡­


    To organize the item inside the space isn¡¯t possible I guess¡­


    How to talk with the World Voice?? Is what I thought, because I got few question to ask. Then, I try to create another skill.


    This time, without using element, just magic force¡­ I focus flows it to my abdomen, muscle and vein then to the outer skin all at the same time. Then I imagine the force to keep repeatedly circulating from the brain to the other part and back to the brain. The force is continuously flowing unless I imagine them to stop.


    ¡¸A new skill is created. Will you name the skill [??] or leave it to the World Voice?¡¹


    (The skill name is [Inner Strengthen]. And I would like to learn how to chat with World Voice.)


    ¡¸Inner Strengthen has been scripted as Less Rank.


    Info: By using magic force flowing from your brain to your skin, abdomen, muscle and vein all at the same time, you are able to strengthen yourself for any length of time unless you wish to stop it.


    Extra: This skill is named by Raphael Frey Alder, just by cast the skill name. You can use this skill without having to imagine.


    By using the skill, you are able to block any physical attack and weapon attack without have any injure according to your level and your opponent level.


    Also, it is not possible to talk with World Voice. But it is possible to talk to World Guardian by using dark element and imagine you inside a dark space [Mind] combining with [Telepathy]. Calling out to the Guardian name, you are able to talk to one of the Guardian.¡¹


    It was unexpected, I didn¡¯t thought that it would actually converse with me. Perhaps there is a company somewhere up there higher than the sky that been managing this world.


    I would like to try talking with the guardian at least once but unfortunately the two hour has end. My two disciples also have return¡­ The first one to return is Reno and he has been grinning until he sees Akai¡¯s hunt. Follow up with Akai that came late 2 minute later than promised time.


    ¡°Master, I beg your pardon for my late return.¡±


    Albeit, looking regretful he brought back 2 giant horned deer.


    ¡°Not much to worry about. But if we count the time of the competition, Reno wins this time. While that, I am looking at both your hunt, I can officially announce that Akai win today competition.¡±


    After announcing such thing, I glance toward Reno. While looking regretfully, he mutters ¡°Uh¡­ I admit the defeat¡­ but isn¡¯t the age also d-different¡­¡±


    Noticing his complain, I casually object his opinion. He still too young, ah~~ I need to become even stricter in teaching starting from now or all he would do is complaining. Perhaps¡­ I will even add physical training!


    ¡°In a real battle, no one cares about your appearance, level, age or gender. They care about the result!¡±


    ¡°Kuh.¡±


    That¡¯s the number one truth which I read in many shonen manga! Even if you are a girl, weak or beauty, no one cares about that in a battle especially if they want to win #desperate.


    ¡°Master Reno, though Master Kail is a bit harsh, he hopes you to become stronger and wiser.¡±


    E-eh? Huh? Did he read my mind? By saying I¡¯m harsh?


    ¡°Is... that the truth?¡± Looking so pitiful, he glances toward me


    ¡°Of course it is. (Not)¡­ E-enough about that! Let¡¯s return to the town! Oh wait, I need to dismantle those hunts first<sup>¡­</sup> ¡±


    Reaching the riverside, I try to make use of wind element. By imagining the air dividing the water that contain the fish, then threw it to the ground. I obtain new skill~ But, since the world voice didn¡¯t appear, there must be someone who has named it first. After all this is such a basic skill. Somehow, Reno tries to imitate me but failed. I suggest him to imagine parting the water that fill with the fish, and throw it to the ground. He did it but he missed the fish.


    Any way, right after I done catch fish, I take off my cloth and give them to Akai. Then, in just black short pant into the river, I start to butch the meat according to the weight.


    Akai, hunt is 2 giant deer, I got total of 270 part of deer meat. 70 is for sale, the other 200 ground meat frozen and put into the space bag [inventory]. While, Reno¡¯s is 3 rabbits, 2 forest chicken and 5 pigeon, I didn¡¯t butch them and only cleanse them thoroughly.


    The fish that I caught is 3 poard and 7 stoneface fish.


    Done with the chores, I wear my cloth back and let Akai carries the basket. Reno wanted to be of help, so I let him carries the hunting stuff. Then we return to the town, and I start to venture searching for place to sell stuff.


    I only went alone since I ask Reno to wait at the Inn to take care of Eline while Akai went to the magic shop to buy list of thing that I ask him to buy. With him are 6 gold, 1 silver, 9 copper and 5 black coins [619,500 y].


    I venture far ahead to the outer part of the town, where the area is tropical south. The town name Rolarindo (if I still have the Japanese tongue, I¡¯ll have hard time to pronounce it). At that town I see a tall building, which interests me a lot because of its name.


    ¡®Asakura Hotel¡¯.


    In detailed, the building height is 3 to 4 stories house, the front door is made of clear glass, there also lots of carriage parks around the building, and some are even for rent. When I step forward to the building, the door open by the workers and I was greeted.


    Inside of the building is a main hall that has a counter and the design is one of elegance like Mid-age European style. Classic, elegant and systematic, all of it makes me wonder who is the manager and the owner of this building.


    I head toward the counter, asking the girl behind the counter and request to meet with the chef or cooker of the place.


    She then asks one of the workers with butler figure to guide me to the kitchen.


    ¡°Mr. Sawaki, there is a guest.¡±


    ¡°Hm?¡± A man of his mid-30, black hair yakuza-like face biting cigarette at the corner of his lip, glancing toward my direction.


    ¡°Who¡­? Hmm¡­ not someone I know¡­ Major, you can continue your work; I¡¯ll take care of ¡®it¡¯ from now.¡±


    The butler bows then leave the kitchen. Without wasting anyone precious time, I start introduce myself and get to the point.


    ¡°Sorry to bother your work, the name is Kail and I am here to sell you some goods which you might be interest in.¡±


    ¡°hm? Let me hear you.¡±


    ¡°Here I have 70 parts of deer meat, 3 whole rabbit and 2 forest chickens adding with 5 pigeon. Make a good deal and they are yours.¡±


    ¡°Are the fish for sell too?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, but I plan on selling them only if you buy the ot-¡±


    ¡°All for 5 gold coins, Deal or not.¡±


    ¡°!? Oh my, doesn¡¯t it a bit higher than the real price?¡±


    ¡°Ahaha, not at all, this town is far from the forest. So the meat and the fish here are all rare to see unless you go to the other town. By the way, notice how the place is extravagant?¡±


    ¡°Yeah, and I have been wondering who is the manager and the owner of the place.¡±


    ¡°This place is for those aristocrats and every meal here is double the price at normal inn. So don¡¯t worry about those price, ¡®kay?¡±


    ¡°Then it is a deal. By the way, your name¡­ could it be you are¡­ (japanese)¡±


    When I was whisper such thing to him, his eyes went wide, his cigarette drops to the floor and he start grabbing my shoulder.


    ¡°YOU! Ops, you¡­ are Japanese too?¡±


    ¡°I was¡­ but I incarnated into this person just recently.¡±


    ¡°Oh, oppositely to you, I actually enter this world without dying and have been living around 13 years already¡­¡±


    ¡°Rather than saying I was dead, I really don¡¯t feel pain or anything that indicating that I was dead. Plus, I was working, then suddenly (dozed off perhaps?) when I woke up. I notice that I was at a slum with two kids besides me, and memories from previous world and this world get combined.¡±


    I could say that for sure, a new soul was created, which was ¡®Kail¡¯ since Raphael soul is nowhere to be found and I have no recollection of his memories or messenger mission, then I am confident that I ¡®Daiki¡¯ didn¡¯t die.


    ¡°That is complicated, hmm¡­ any way since you are just recent in this world, if you want to know more about this world and its cuisine, come and seek me. By this address, not here.¡±


    I tilt my head a bit when I saw the address written on the small card, No.8, 2/3 royal road, Main city, Uldia of Grecirea. Hence I ask him, ¡°You, live in aristocrats area?¡±


    ¡°Does it matter?¡±


    ¡°¡­ I¡¯m curious.¡±


    ¡°hahaha, well¡­ In 13 years of living here, I have been travelling here and there to search for ingredient that could create new type of cuisine in this world, this kingdom¡¯s king has fall in love deeply for my cuisine.


    I exchange the recipe for something like permanent place to settle down for my life since I am not that youth anymore.


    I am now in wooing mode seeking for lady to be married.¡±


    ¡°¡­ha¡­ha¡­ (I hope I would not become like you in the future.)¡±


    ¡°Huh!? You brat dared to make fun of me?! Don¡¯t let me c--¡±


    ¡°Since my business have done here, I will excuse my self. Thanks for the money.¡±


    ¡°Oi! That¡¯s not fair, let me at least punch you once.¡±


    ¡°No, Thanks~ hahaha¡±


    Leaving the hotel, after having unexpected meeting with someone from the previous world, I return to Greenwell town. Then I notice there was someone with familiar figure and few animals that also familiar to my eyes, is fighting with someone looking so dangerous.


    Angrily, I already understand the whole situation, hence I make my move.

 Chapter 8: Elines Idle Talks

    Chapter 8: Eline¡¯s idle talk


    This morning, I notice something different, both my brother¡­ gone.


    I almost cry but Snow use telepathy and explain everything, rather than crying, I am in great mood. By the way, Snow and the other wolves is onii-sama underlings. Since they are useful and intelligent being, I like them. I don¡¯t particularly hate animal but I don¡¯t like them either. Make me remember a few years ago.


    One day when onii-sama brings back an orange color cat, he gave it to me. I was confused and at the same time I was thinking why Onii-sama troubles himself to increase another mouth to eat while there are not that enough for us three. So I just let the cat go, after that he was sulking for a week about it.


    I didn¡¯t coax him but since he is older, he didn¡¯t sulk for too long.


    But now, he seemly clever than ever, I am proud that he brought back such useful underlings. And so, I ask the wolves.


    ¡°Where should we go?¡±


    With Snow sat front of me wagging his tail, and the other wolves¡¯ just lies happily next to me.


    [We don¡¯t know the town since we have been living in the forest up till now.] Snow


    ¡°If you say that, it also reminds me that I know nothing about this town too.¡±


    Ever since I was baby, Reno and Kail nii-sama has been the one taking care of my necessity because of my complex health. Then, I am too weak to do anything which also makes it impossible to wander and venture to the town even if my brother is with me.


    [If that so, then should we ask Emily-san?] Meg


    ¡°! Good idea, Meg~ let¡¯s does that.¡±


    And so, we head down to the inn to find Emily-san while I was still in pajamas. She is the inn owner¡¯s daughter, even though she is more cute than pretty compare to other ladies, I like her because she is nice and understand me well enough even if I don¡¯t talk.


    Then I see her sweeping the first floor of the inn in front of the counter. I called out to her name but she seems to not hear me. So I called out even louder this time.


    ¡°Emily-san!¡±


    ¡°?¡±


    She heard me and has been searching for the voice owner by turn her face left and right repeatedly.


    Slowly I sneak behind her and jump on her skirt.


    ¡°Kya! Ah, Eline-chan~ Wolfie~ Good morning~¡±


    ¡°Good Morning~~¡±


    ¡°Awrroo!¡±


    After she finishes her chores, she accompanies me eating breakfast. With a mouthful, I invited her to shop around the town. But then, she tilts her head a bit looking confused, and asks about money.


    ¡°I have the money.¡± I say and show a bag full with money amounting to 5 silver and 8 copper and 25 black coins. Again with a dubious face, she asks why I would have so much with me.


    I explain to her that it was Kail-nii sama that give me the money, and he says to have fun. I also invite her to shop with me in exchange she must accompany me to the town since she know the town the best out of all of us.


    ¡°With that money, and by meaning of fun, shouldn¡¯t we as fellow girl shop cloth first?¡±


    That was her suggestion, and I agreed to it readily.


    I went upstairs to change into my casual cloth that nii-sama has bought for me, white long sleeve t-shirt and black short pant with pink black stripped sock and pink shoes.


    The weather is not hot nor cold, it just warm which would be perfect for outing.


    Hence we head to a boutique, and start shopping. I ride on Snow while Emily-san walks together with the other wolves.


    I pick two pair of short pant and three piece of colorful t-shirt while Emily-san has been staring to a dress for a while now without moving.


    ¡°Emily-san?¡± I called out to her name and she suddenly jump as if shocked, making me even more curious so I look at the dress.


    It was frilly full of lace and ribbon here and there white and sky blue dress, then I look at the price, ah¡­ so that is why she has been looking it without moving¡­


    3 silver coins.


    ¡°Does Emily-san want it?¡±


    ¡°um¡­ No, it is fine¡­ should we go to another shop?¡±


    ¡°Wait, I need to pay¡­¡±Stolen novel; please report.


    She waits at the outside of the boutique with Orb and Rem with her while I was paying for the clothes. But, it is kind of pity to see her like that since she was attracted to the dress so much. I¡¯m sure that she would never have any cloth like that because the inn owner is too busy to care about his daughter preferences.


    Since all the cloth that I pick cost less than silver, I have the shop owner to get the dress and I pay the money. With 2 silver and 8 copper coins exchanges, I also exit the shop. Then, I hand the paper bag with the dress inside to Emily-san.


    ¡°?! But, this is¡­ (too expensive)¡­¡±


    ¡°It was the price for accompany me to shop~¡±


    ¡°Thank you, Eline~¡±


    ¡°Hehe, thank you too Emily-san~¡±


    I have never had a sister before in my entire life, with only my brothers through out my life, I long for the love of sister and mother¡­ Emily-san, when my brothers is gone working, she has been replacing their duty by taking care of me.


    Without even having to talk much, she knows what I want and need.


    To me, she is a caring and kind older sister, even though we are not related in blood. Then, to see her smile is soothing and makes me embarrassed a bit.


    While we were walking at the street, the wolves suddenly attract to the smell of meat grilled and rush toward the stall. Even Snow that I was riding on couldn¡¯t control himself.


    ¡°Are you hungry?¡±


    ¡°Awroo! [Yes~!]¡±


    With the leftover money I buy them the meat and both I and Emily-san eat well with them while enjoying the view of the sky and the small park in front of us.


    ¡°It should be noon by now and your brothers should be back any time. So¡­ should we head back?¡±


    ¡°Mmm¡­ Let¡¯s--¡±


    When we was about to leave the park, a group of unknown men and woman block our path.


    ¡°Wouldn¡¯t they be good price?¡± a man of large builds over 2 meter and dark skin chat with another member of his group.


    ¡°Yeah, the wolves are rare and big, they should suffice the amount.¡± The other man with short spiky dark blue hair nod in agreement and look at us as if he was window shopping.


    ¡°grr¡­¡±


    Snow and the other wolves are in ready mode to chew on this group, while the group is busy chatting with each other and Emily-san besides me is shaking in fear, Snow orders the wolves to ruthlessly attack the group.


    Snow stay closely with me and Emily-san while keep ordering the wolves direction and action. Unfortunately, no one could guess what would happen, the woman from the group cast a huge water ball and fills each one of the wolves inside and the others forward to our place and capture me.


    I hadn¡¯t a clue or know what could happen to us, because Snow was pinned by the large builds man and the other wolves are drowning inside the water ball¡­


    Help¡­


    ¡°Stop it¡­ let the wolves go¡­ you are killing them¡­¡±


    ¡°Hah¡­ aren¡¯t they the one who want to killing us?¡±


    Help¡­ Kail-niisama¡­


    I close my eyes as if giving up¡­ suddenly huge and loud sound of grunting and groans was heard, when I open my eyes¡­ I was shocked and let out a huge relief sound.


    ¡°Thank goodness¡­¡±


    ¡°¡­ You¡­ dared to harm my people¡­¡±


    3<sup>rd</sup> person POV


    At that moment, everyone onlooker could feel the shivering of Kail¡¯s tone.


    ¡°P-please for-give us¡­¡±


    The man that had his neck chocked by Kail begs for forgiveness.


    ¡°Ha?! Did I hear you wrong? Forgiving you!!?¡±


    ¡®Crack¡¯


    Kail let go of his hand and the man went limp. That man is dead.


    ¡°UOOHH! Harluin!! You BAST--!¡±


    The woman of frizzy hair rush toward Kail but how sad, she also receives the same fate as the man.


    ¡®Thud¡¯


    The woman is dead.


    Meanwhile¡­


    ¡°W-what happen?¡± Emily with her eyes wide open questioning an obvious answer to the situation. Then she happens to notice the man that was next to her has also gone rushing toward Kail with the man that was pinning Snow also rush toward Kail but with no need of magic and just brute force, Kail kill them both in just second.


    The entire villain falls to the ground as if they were sleeping. With no sign of blood, the life of the five end just like that. Then Eline, calmly get closer to Kail and spoke.


    ¡°Onii-sama¡­ It is sad to just leave the as it¡­ ¡±


    ¡°¡­ I¡¯ll cremate them then¡­¡±


    Fire appears to each corpse and burns them till pure ashes.


    Kail then start lifting Eline into his arm and went to the other wolves to checking on them, fortunately not a single of his people hurts. Then he leaves the spot and gesture toward Emily and went back to their inn.


    POV end.


    [Kail]


    ¡°¡­¡±


    The cold silent shiver everyone inside the inn including Barbatos and Emily the onlookers.


    Currently I sat down to a wooden chair while drinking a cup of tea, in front of me is a group of wolves groveling.


    Then I put down the cup, all of them are startled. Hence, I voice out my anger.


    ¡°Carelessness.¡±


    One word, enough to make everyone jump out of fear. Even Eline that was behind Reno, both of them are scared hearing my tone.


    ¡°..awruu¡­ (our¡­deepest apologize¡­ master¡­)¡±


    ¡°¡­ Think back, what would you have done if I am not there?¡±


    With a cold tone voice, I glare down to them


    ¡°uuu¡­¡±


    ¡°I¡¯m glad that today incident caught no one life flying, But!¡±


    With a hard tone, they perked and entire fur stands.


    ¡°With only one! Carelessness! All of you are dead!¡±


    Everyone¡¯s tear start to flow down non-stop while thinking what could possibly happen if I am not there. Hah¡­ I sighed after relent my rage and furious, I step forward and kneeled in front of them.


    All of them had their eyes on me, and I smile wryly thus say.


    ¡°I¡¯m glad¡­ I really am glad¡­ thank goodness.¡±


    ¡°Awroo¡­ Awroo!! (Master¡­ Master!!)¡±


    Getting carried away, all of them jump onto me and start licking me all over. ¡°Grr, get off! I¡¯m still angry by your action! Therefore I will train ALL of You!¡± when I say that everyone cry ¡°NO~!!¡± frustrated.


    ***


    I have never seen him this angry before, but then when I knew he was angry for our own sake, I was touched instead of getting scared. Then, when brother Reno and the entire wolf pack, complain about Kail-niisama orders to train, I chuckled a bit.


    After Kail nii-sama has become his usual cheery self, I tells him everything from the morning until recent incident. In a second, he had a gentle expression on his face but that gone to blank expression in split second when someone called out to his name.
