Another Life As Older Brother

Going down the dungeon took weeks when finally we reach floor 50 after defeating Floor boss Balor. Even though I'm part of the expedition, I didn't partake in any fight except my own fight.

My own aim is the landform where Hephaestus Familia asked to buy and monster drop. Jumping left and right, I always hunt on my own to cut down materials and also the monster for their item drop. My luck reaching S rank couldn't be underestimated at all.

"Let's see how Hephaestus gonna buy all of this. Hehehehe...." I said while killing the monster left and right.

The more we dive deeper the more I could feel the jealousy gaze from people around. While they had to sleep anywhere anytime. I got to sleep on my own bed. Even though without noticing, Tiona started to sneak her way into the bed. I just ignored it thinking her as Haruhime sneaking like always.

Reaching floor 50th was uneventful in combat term but for the resource it was bountiful. Forest tear, Brave amber, and so on. All kinds of high-level materials.

Another event thing that happened was my hand get covered by golden light which later made an electric crackle sound. I quickly find an empty spot before releasing the skill by combining it with magic.

[ Eiyū-Ou activated. Argonaut had been awakened.]

I heard the noise after releasing the golden light. "Looked like it started... His adventure." I said unconsciously before going back to Loki Familia's camp.

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

Finally reaching floor 50. Loki Familia started to prepare. I remove all the thing that is carried by me using Gate of Babylon. All of it was to make a camp for a few days where Loki Familia would scout the floor and draw the map of the floor.

While waiting, I scout floor 50th and found a nice cliff to looked around. My memory started to get mixed up recently. Everything started to get entangled by one another.

"You're not joining? Ageas-kun." Tiona said behind me after looking at me that went missing. I quickly stop clutching my head and looked at her.

"No. I will stay here for a while. I got my own tent." I said to assure her that I'm fine. After a moment of silence between us, she eventually sat beside me. "Nee.. Ageas-kun. Do you know what kept me smiling?" Tiona asked me out of the blue.

"I know." I said while making a longing face. "Eeehh? You are no fun. You suppose to say that you didn't know to let me tell my story." Tiona said pouting her cheek.

"It's Argonaut story. Isn't it?" I said answering her while the wind blew toward both of us. Tiona looked at me with a surprised face "How.. do you know?" she asked slowly.

I smiled at her and kiss her forehead "I can't tell you right now. This is as far as I could right now." I said while making her blush. "Muuu~ That's cheating. You said you didn't want a relationship right now but you keep teasing me." Tiona said grumbled.

"I'm fine though with a relationship right now." I said making her turned her head instantly toward me with a gawking face. She quickly pulled her leg closer and buried her head in her knees "You see, Ageas-kun. When I saw your brother fight that minotaur. I thought of him as Argonaut which the story had been keeping me smiling when facing harsh trial back at Telskyura.

That time, my feeling got shook hardly. I knew I like you while admiring Argonaut's story but liking someone just because of the story felt wrong for me. That's why I want to talk with you." Tiona said with a sad face.

"Everything depended on what you choose. I won't get angry if you decide to chase my brother. I also got a secret I haven't told you about. I already had a relationship with Shakti and Ryuu. Both of them know about my decision about taking multiple wives. So, I won't blame you if you backed away." I said while smiling at Tiona.

She shook her head rapidly "No... It's not about that....I don't mind about the idea of you had multiple wives and the reason for this talk is the opposite.

I want you, Ageas Cranel as my hero. Your story... No.. our story to be my support from now on." She said while looking at me. I got surprised by her saying that. Eventually, my smile softened and I hugged her "Sure, let's make our own story." I said while tears fell on my cheek.

"Eh!? Ageas-kun." "Ageas is fine. Tiona." I said patting her. "Then, Ageas. Why are you crying?" Tiona asked looking at me. I quickly wiped my tears "Nothing. It's just happy tears." I said.

"So, Could I hug you all the time?" Tiona said already hugging me on my waist. "Haha.. Sure." I said while pulling her closer while the light at the ceiling began to dim.

"Shouldn't we go back?" I asked Tiona which she nodded but kept her arms around me. "Haha.. Hold on tight." I said while moving her arms to my neck and giving a piggy ride to her.

Without long we arrived at the camp that had been done and everyone already gathered around a campfire.

"Tomorrow, the main party will scout the lower floor. Me, Gareth, Riveria, Bete, Tiona, Tione, Ais, Lefiya, Ageas, Tsubaki, Alicia, Elfy. The name called will be the main party. The other will had a day rest before mapping the floor. That's it, now let's rest for the night." Finn said dispersing the other member.

"Ageas-san. Please come this way." Finn said leading me to the executive camp where he slept. Not only me but all the main party member also being called.

Inside the tent is Tsubaki waiting for us with a load of weapons and wands scatter around. "The one that I put below here is for Loki Familia. While your personal request, Ageas-boy. I got them behind me." Tsubaki said showing about 40 to 50 swords and 70 to 80 wands and staves which hard to sell for some reason.

"Thank you, Tsubaki. I will try my best to pay for all of them." I said while all the weapons vanished inside Gate of Babylon. Everyone from Loki Familia also checking each and every weapon.

We went outside to try the weapon before tomorrow. I also went outside and open Gate of Babylon which already gave light to the surrounding. Each and every swords, axes, dagger already appeared behind me.

After counting the number I'm still somewhat satisfied. Next, I open the mystic code with the golden gauntlet for addition the golden axe also came to my hand. Now, all the wands appeared from above which quickly my action gain attention from people around.

"Th.. This.. Just how many he could summon." Some of the members asked while looking at the Golden light.

After checking that there's no issue with the weapon. I quickly pull out my tent which already been done and only needed to put it with Gate of Babylon.

The golden ripple appeared on the ground and moving upward showing a whole tent already being set up in place. I just need to put my bed inside and sleep.
