Another Life As Older Brother

Chapter 14 - Monsterphilia (1/4)

"Cih, Can you move faster, you useless supporter?" A male adventurer said while kicking his supporter away. The party consists of 5 people with 1 supporter.

I just walk by and met with this kind of scene. Even though I hate to see it, I don't want to play the hero part. So, I tried to ignore it and walk past them to avoid trouble. At least that's what I thought.

"Oi, you! What are you looking at? You want to play hero or something?" The other party member said since he didn't get to vent his anger, now I got the stone.

"As much as I don't like what you guys did. I don't want to involved in unnecessary trouble." I said the truth while ignoring them. The one that provoked me quickly looked at his friends and all of them chuckle and nod.

"Who said that you can leave? Give us your magic stone than you can leave." He said while walking and grab my shoulder.

I stop on my track after being held on my shoulder. "Get your hands off me." I said while giving him a side glare. Feeling surprised he quickly take a step back.

"Now, you had just done it. You dirty my clothes, pay up." I said to them. All of them looked at me with wary. I'm alone, but still brave enough to provoke them.

"What are you talking about!? You want to die or something?" His friend that kick their supporter shout from behind. Now, all of them looked like they regain some footing.

"Run, adventurer. I'm okay here." The supporter said while struggling to get up. "Let's see who's gonna die first. You threatened me, and I don't like being threatened." I said while opening Gate of Babylon and pull out 10 swords. I launched one of them toward the dungeon wall creating a crater.

All of them shriek and run for their life without even thinking, leaving the supporter on the ground. "Hah~ Stand up, you can't survive down here alone with that kind of wounds. I won't carry you out, you need to stand up by yourself in this world but at least I could protect you until we reach the surface." I said to her. She's small, looked like a Pallum.

She stood up and start walking beside me. "What's your name?" I asked since the silence made the situation awkward. It took her a while before she answered the question. "My name is Liliruca." She said without any follow up.

Now all my effort became hopeless. The awkward situation came back. Making it silent all the way onto the surface. "Anyway, watch yourself. I'm leaving." I said leaving her standing there alone. 'I'm tired now my mood got crushed. I need my sleep time.' I thought while walking home.

Arrived back home, I just went to sleep. It still in the afternoon and Bell hasn't come home yet. Hestia still making Bell's knife, which made me had nothing to do. I haven't slept for 3 days, so I moved my schedule reporting to the guild to the last thing I want to do.

----------------------------------------

I'm here, where Bell Cranel-san said his brother currently sleeping. Mama Mia, ask me to come here to wake, Cranel-san for Monsterphilia.

Looking at the place surprised me since the living condition here looked minimalistic. No human interaction around the premise. The run-down place he lived in.

Calling the brothers made me confuse until Ageas-kun told us to call them using their first name. Now, Bell-kun said I can get inside without worry since only Ageas-kun inside.

When I get inside, something stopped me. Ageas-kun still sleeping while I don't know how to wake him up. I'm alone in this room with him.

I tried the way Syr wake me up. She usually shook my body to wake me up. So I put my hand on his shoulder and shake him as fast as I can. Not long he woke up but looked angry.

--------------------------------------------

I'm inside a dreamland right now. I sleep in my dream, enjoying the fluffy bed. Until someone shook me like no tomorrow. Someone shook my body as if a meteor or tornado heading to my home.

I quickly grab the hand that shook me so much "Stop it!!". I said while woke up sitting on my bed. Then I saw who wake me up "Eh!? Ryuu?". I said while both of us froze looking at each other. I looked at her nonexpression face.

She then looked at her hand which made me look. I still grabbed her hand tightly "Ah, sorry." I said realizing, I might grab her too tight. "But, seriously. Ryuu, what are you doing here? more importantly what's with your way of waking me up." I said while stood up from my bed.

"Mama Mia ask me to wake you up. Bell-kun told me where you live. It's about the place we open in Monsterphilia event and I wake you up like Syr did to me." Ryuu said while still looking at her hand.

"Stop looking at it. I'm sorry okay if I grab it too hard. I will make you breakfast, have you eat one?" I said while taking out two portions from Gate of Babylon.

"No, I just came back from buying some stock from the market when I being asked to wake you up." Ryuu said while taking her portion.

"Still only eating salad, I assume." I said while eating my food. Ryuu just nodded and eat it silently. Soon, both of us done with the food and walked out toward the Colosseum.

"Then, where is our stand?" I ask Ryuu while she pointed toward the biggest area there is. I forgot to help them with the furniture but looked like they already got it.

"Ageas-kun!! Ryuu-san!! Right here." Syr already called to me with Chloe and Lunoire there. "Right, three of you eat first. While I and Ryuu prepare the place." I said while made some food for them.

Our stand not only a stand that sold some food and that's all to it. We rent more area to put down chairs and tables for people to eat. With this, we can have people sit around the place to attract more customers and also people could also order take away to eat somewhere else. Plus, being served with a bunch of beautiful girls like this. 'This is the perfect plan!!!' I thought with my eyes shining with gold. I even thought of some menu that releases a powerful aroma for the menu.

"Let's open!!" I yell so loud with a lot of power into it. Not long after that our first customer, who choose to sit down to eat his food. If people choose to sit around, we served it with a plate.

The food looked like an airbag that about to explode. He gulped down his saliva when he sniffed some aroma that leaked. Then he broke the balloon part and the aroma soon traveled around. Customer by customer soon came one by one.

Time passed so quickly and the place became crowded. "Ryuu!! Chloe!! buy more ingredients you can find. We're running low." I said quickly. With their agility, they could buy it fast. Syr kept serving the customer with a smile on her face. Lunoire handling the takeaway customer while counting the price for the customer to pay, she surprisingly good at it.

"Welco..." I said to the one who just came. 'Out of all people. Why it has to be you?'
