(Part 1)
“Haaah!? Haaaah!? Haa!?”
The elder sister grab the little brother by the collar with surprised look on her face.
“Are you stupid!?We"ll have to travel together with an unknown man for half month you know! Are you sane?! Where did that idea come from!? What, an originality!? Are you searching for an originality ! ?”
“Big sis always so energetic, heh “
“How can you smiling like that after throwing out an outrageous statement like that ! ?
This is something that you started, you should be the one who take care of it! “
Hah hah, the girl finally get out of breath.
Isagi place his hand on his chest after seeing how the things goes.
“Uuum ... My name is Isa”
“Eh, ah, um“
The red haired girl straighten her pose that Isagi felt like he could hear a background sound “Cling” from her back as she looked at Isagi.
“Cough ... My name is, Amalia. I am working as an adventurer.
Due to one reason and another, I have to return to Dynacity as soon as possible”
The little brother followed after his big sister and pointed at himself.
“ My name is Franz! Together with my big sister,we form a guild < stardom="">”
Hehehe, the young boy laughed.
Both of them are human race.
They didn’t resemble each other despite saying that they were siblings.
Perhaps they weren’t a sibling by blood.
Since the big sister keep glaring at Isagi, he decided to change the topic for now.
“For now, let"s put whatever we will go together or not aside, but can I ask you guys what it would be if I choose to use another route?”
Hearing that, the big sister nodded.
“That"s right ...Thought you still have to go to the Mystal forest, but you have to change carriage in the middle of your trip”
“Just as I thought, so in the end cutting through the Great forest would be the shortest road then?”
" Well, of course, while there’s already road built but it wouldn’t change the fact that it"s still dangerous to pa.s.s through it. So everyone who wanted the safer trip will choose to the detour to the east"
"Hmm ... So it"s like that "
Both Isagi and Amalia groaned and then looked at the service list, then mutter at the same time.
"Then, I should really go through this route" - Isagi
"In other word, We will choose this route" - Amalia
Their eyes fell at the exact same place.
And before they realized, their eyes met .
"Hmm?" - Isagi
"Eh?" - Amalia
Franz then jumped to between the two and smirked.
"Big sis, In the end if we use the slower route we still have tol go together with those unknown guys and scamps. Right? Then wouldn"t it be better for us to share the bill and ride this Express carriage, right!?"-Franz
Uuuh, Amalia grimace.
Surely what Franz had said was indeed true.
"That"s certainly true,but ..." - Amalia
"We have to arrive at Dynacity as soon as possible right, Nee-chan!"-Franz
"I understand that, but ..." - Amalia
She looked at Isagi as if evaluating him .
"But this person... You know, umm, don"t you think that his get up is suspicious ?
He"s wearing all black, also those eyepatch ... His aura seems dangerous, you know ...
Also, umm, I feel like he wouldn"t be able to hold proper daily conversation" - Amalia
"Eeeh!?No way, He look super cool !" - Franz
"Uuh, your big sister couldn"t really understand your preference you know... " - Amalia
Amalia shakes her head looking reluctant.
In the end Isagi raised both of his hand as if he was gave up.
"... As long as I could arrive to Dynacity even one day faster, I would choose that route.I promise that I wouldn"t do anything suspicious "
"Hmmm..." - Amalia
"Also, I am able to hold daily conversation just fine. There should be no problem"
"... Is that, so?"
"Yeah, Mister Last Resort already dead. I’m sure that guy is already sleep soundly deep inside the sea"
" I, can"t really understand that, though... " - Amalia
Amalia looked at Isagi with suspicious eyes.
Well of course, she wouldn’t be able to completely trust a man that she just met.
Also Isagi intended to just gave up if she really didn’t want to go together with him.
Amalia then pointed her finger at Isagi.
It seems that she also has her own problem at hand.
"You, umm, you said your name is Iskun, right?
In the first place, why do you even want to go to Dynacity?
State your reason, come on! If I approve your reason, then maybe I will agree on sharing carriage with you”
“Big sis, it"s not really admirable to pry into other people’s business, you know?”
“Wha… in the first place, you’re the one who start all of this…!”
Grrt, Amalia clench her fist, and now her eyes seems to contain more hostility than it was before.
"Alright! For one and half months, okay!? Just one and half!
Now that we will be together for that long time, you should take responsibility if anything happen to me! It’s fine for me to ask that much, right!?Right !? Huh!?"
"Well, yep, I suppose. Yes it"s fine, No doubt about it"
Isagi ended up agreeing with Amalia in the midst of confusion as she kept pressing on him.
Then he wondered on what he should said while patting his eyepatch.
“Hmm, I suppose, I go there for the sake of stopping the war. Also meeting my old friend”
"... ...hah, Haaah?"
At this point, he already used of receiving that kind of reaction as he ignored that and continue his story.
“The people that would die, will be saved if I go to Dynacity. That’s why, I have to go to that place”
“What in the world …”
Amalia starred deeply at Isagi .
On her side, Franz put his hand on the top of each other.
" CO, Cooooool ... ! " - Franz
Isagi felt like he could see Franz eyes sparking.
But it should be just an imagination, so he just ignored it.
At first, Amalia looked really perplexed...
but finally, she raised one of her finger in resignation.
"... Hear me, kay? Let"s not meddle with each other too much.
As we just someone share the same route by some chance"
"So you said that you will trust me?"
Isagi asked in slight surprise.
Amalia cast down her eyes slightly .
"... Since Frchan already said that much about you, I"m sure you"re not really bad person... probably... but I still didn"t trust you, though..."
Franz laughed happily.
Isagi though that she was a sister that is sweet to her little brother.
Also, he almost reprimand her to not easily judge things like that, but keep it for himself.
"But, if something were to happen..."
Amalia suddenly draw her sword.
The broad sword that she held on her hand was kinda barbaric item for a young woman like her, as its more fitting an image of a robust swordsman.
“I am an B rank adventurer, and my little brother is C rank despite his looks. Not even a soldier could defeat us... Don’t, ever try to do something funny”
Like that, she told Isagi her skill as an adventurer.
While he didn’t really understand the ranking system of adventurer, but its should be something amazing to be able became a B rank adventurer despite her age.
Isagi unhesitatingly nodded.
“Alright, that also saves me a lot of trouble”
“... If, if that so, then everything’s alright. Let"s go together, then… “
*Swip*, she put her sword back into its scabbard.
Franz smirking with his hand on the back of his waist.
"Somehow, this going to be interesting"
