Another Life As Older Brother

Chapter 22 - Lurking Gaze

In the town of Orario, a certain Goddess could be seen together. They watched the people walking along the streets making a transaction, talking, whispering, gathering information for their purposes.

"So, what made you want to meet again, Freya." Loki said narrowing her eyes. Freya sat opposite her like last time. Loki brought Bete that list came with her from her investigation.

"Ufufu~, Loki.... I can finally see it." Freya said laughing lightly with her hood on. Hearing her laugh made Loki became more serious in her expression "Don't tell me another child you aimed." She asked while sipping her drink.

"You might not know this, at first I'm shocked that I couldn't see his soul. Ufufufu~ but now, it starts forming." Freya laughed in a weird manner, she started to touch her cheek to control her laughter.

"Just who is it this time?" Loki asked. "I don't know. I never put any thought on him. He engulfed anything thrown at him. I can't see his soul but now, I can faintly see it. His soul is so clear that made me felt like gazing into the deep ocean." Freya said with a heavy breathing and a light m.o.a.n while touching herself behind her robe.

"Tch.. This time you're paying. I need to go somewhere." Loki said while leaving Freya in the room feeling somewhat pissed.

Suddenly, I felt a shiver down my spine. which made me look at a certain direction but saw nothing that threatened me.

"Eina-san." I call her when I get inside the guild. She widened her eyes looking at me then exhale in a relaxed manner "Thank god, you're safe. What happened? You seem different." She asked while taking a good look at me.

"I'm just tired, that's all." I said brushing off the question. "What!? How can it only be 12.000? Are you blind or something!?" Someone yelled beside me. Misha that stood beside Eina whisper to her "See? Another Soma familia." She said.

"By the way, Eina-san. Do you mind if I get to be Ageas-kun's advisor? You already got his brother right?" Misha said with a teasing look. "What do you say, Ageas-kun?" She then quickly asked me since I heard her.

"What are you saying, Misha. It's just a job you know, J-O-B. I can't mix it with my personal life." Eina quickly said. "Then, you don't mind if I become his advisor? It's a job after all." Misha said giggle a little.

Eina's face already become red "If.. if.. if Ageas-kun doesn't mind, then it's fine." She said slowly. "How about you, Ageas-kun?" Misha said with a cheerful face.

"Well, even though Eina sometimes harsh on me but I quite used to asked an advice from her but if it's about personal life, I don't mind accompanying you, Misha." I said while thinking when I said that. Misha turned to became red from the shy. "Just kidding. You had to find someone that you like. Don't just trust adventurer like that." I said smiling at her.

"Hmph.. It's not fair." She said puffing her cheeks. "Anyway, I will change my money first." I said while walking at the counter.

Misha looked at Eina but then confused. Eina kept her sight on Ageas. "Eina, what do you say about this? Hmm? Eina? What happened?" Misha quickly asked. "Em.. Misha, do you see his smile that last time?" Eina asked while still looking at Ageas's back.

"Yes, he's handsome, isn't he? Different from the innocent-looking brother he had. Quite rich I would said." Misha said while looking at Ageas which taking out some of the dropped he got from the dungeon.

"No, the way he rejected you. His smile looked sad." Eina said while Ageas could be seen laughing and talking to the one guarding the exchange drop. "What is actually happening to him down there?" Eina ask subconsciously. Looking at her friend worried about her adventurer made Misha smiled but decide not to interfere further.

"Right, I will leave all the items here and take the money tomorrow. How about that?" I said to the guild employee. "That would be great, I'm sorry for the inconvenience." She said and apologize. I wave at her "No need to think about it. I should be the one saying sorry here.".

"Eina-san, Misha-san. I'm leaving first." I said to both of them. I walked outside and about to went home only to greeted by the sight of my brother talking to his party member using a big bag behind her.

"Oh, Bell. Counting your money, I see." I greeted them. "Ah! Nii-san, You had returned. How is your explore condition inside the dungeon?" Bell quickly turned to me and wave his hand.

"Hmm, you are... Liliruca?" I asked her. She tried to cover her face by pulling her hood down. "Eh, you know her, brother?" Bell asked in surprise.

"Yeah, we met the other day. Have you done splitting the money?" I asked him. "Nn! We split it 50-50. We made 26.000 valis. Look, Nii-san!!" Bell quickly showed all the money.

"Hmm? Nice work. This is your biggest income so far right?" I said patting his head, Bell nodded happily. I walked toward Lili which startled a bit. "You also worked hard. Please take care of my brother." I said patting her head.

"Oi.. Nii-san. I'm not a kid anymore." Bell refuted me but still embarrassed. "Alright, I will leave first." I said to both of them and leave from the place.

"Bell-sama, is that your brother?" Lili asked Bell after Ageas leave. "Nn! Nii-san might look scary but actually, he's a nice guy." Bell said to Lili answering her question.

Finally, home sweet home. The thing I want to said but held up when looking at a broken church that no way I said 'home sweet home.'.

I enter the gloomy-looking building and went to the usual room we used to stay as a familia. The room looked empty, seems like no one home.

'Ah, I want to sleep for a whole day.' I said and dozed off, without thinking about the world.
