Another Life As Older Brother

"Ah... I miss this feeling... The sense of silence while dreaming." I said in my dream because nothing could beat the feeling of sleeping in your own home.

"Excuse me!!!! Excuse me!!!" Someone said even in my dream. Making me wake up since someone bothered my sleep. I quickly sit on my bed "Just who the fudge shouting!?" I shouted but everyone in my familia woke up at the same time after I shouted.

"Excuse me!!!!" Someone still shouting and I realized, it's not my familia member. "Just who the heck disturbing my day!!??" I said while stomping my way outside the abandoned church.

I opened the door and looking at his clothes. He should be one of the guild employees. "Speak... Wrong answer and I will kick you back to the guild." I said with my irritated face, glaring deadly at him.

"Hiii!! I... I'm sorry. I'm just a messenger... We.... Have a emergency quest for Hestia Familia..." He said while giving me a paper for me to read the quest.

"Tch.. We're not even rank E or D familia... Speak your reason.." I said not taking the paper. "But.. This is the paper that has been signed by the Guild Head.. If you didn't accept this, we can charged penalty on your familia for refusing a specific quest." He said staggeringly.

"Right.... We will accept the quest but if something is not right about this quest. Your head will be the only thing flying to the guild door.

Don't you think it's weird to give us this quest when our members even less than 10?" I said while forcefully took the paper from his hand. He trembled before he noticed that the paper is already gone. He just realized the inside of the paper said.

"Quest to Melen... Bring all member with level 3 and above to Escort some guest that arriving at Melen and also kill some monsters that appearing in Lolog Lake." I said read while skimming the paper. I looked at him for a second before continue reading the rest.

"Duration of the quest : 2 weeks!!?? Are you sure it's not some corruption that your Guild Head doing? Because if it is, I said it once again. You will be found dead in a street when I return." I said leaving him while feeling irritated also felt some suspicious move being used here.

There's never been a specific quest being thrown at small familia since the people that request the quest would want a high chance of success in doing this kind of quest. There's some rare case but it's because the quest is small stuff and there's a limit in their finances to pay the adventurer.

Escorting someone is not small stuff while killing the monster also depended on the monster that appearing near the place.

I returned to my room and went to Hestia while giving her the paper. "What do you think?" I asked her after she read the quest. "It's certainly suspicious but the penalty for refusing such a quest is a severe impact for us, financially." Hestia said while thinking seriously.

"I thought so too." I said since I can't let Hestia knew about my money that still in Hephaestus. If the penalty is about half the money that the familia has, it would be a headache for me.

"Let's just accept the quest but be careful in your way there. We had to see for ourselves about this quest." Hestia said since she couldn't think about anything else. The time of the guest arriving is today at high noon, while the way to Melen is not that far but still consume a few hours.

"I will also take Haruhime. She's still in training and will become a hindrance if something happened here. Bell could still protect you alone. Stay safe, Hestia-sama. Stay at someone's places for the next two weeks. I will work on this case when I return." I said while leaving the church to call Ryuu.

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

At Hostess of Fertility, the place looked empty since it's still early in the morning and I could see Ryuu training outside on the street.

I quickly dashed to surprise her. She flinched and quickly blocked my attack with her wooden sword. "Who!?" She said in reflex. "Is that your way of greeting me, Ryuu?" I said when she finally looked at me.

She sighed in relief and put down her weapon. "Hah~.. Do you have to startle me with that?" Ryuu said. "Hahaha... I can't helped it." I said with a little laugh.

"So... What bring you here, Ageas?" She said with a little smile on her face. "Eehh~? Do I need a certain reason to visit my girlfriend?" I said teasing her which made her blush.

"That's... That's not what I mean... After all, you never wake up this early." She said while blushing but her words stab me deep in my heart. "Aah!! I'm hurt." I said after feeling stabbed by her words.

"But.. You're not wrong. We got a quest.." I said while making a serious face. She also turned serious hearing it. "I had a bad feeling receiving this. Do you have cloaks for us to use?" I said while she nodded and went inside.

I followed her inside while facing Mia that stood there. "Mia-san, I will borrow Ryuu again for 2 weeks." I said while the situation is serious. Mia also noticed that something is wrong. "Hah~, She just returned and about to go again. You better pay her debt at this rate and took her with you." Mia said after her sigh.

"Right, I will pay her debt after my money being paid in full," I said smiling at her. She also smiled back at me "Don't you take back that words brat." She said warning me.

"Ageas.. I brought it..." Ryuu said after coming downstairs. "Then, Let's go.. We don't have much time. Goodbye, Mia-san." I said while walking outside with Ryuu. She also said goodbye to Mia but surprisingly Mia didn't get mad when she said she's leaving and only left some words "Be safe out there.".

"Ageas, do you think I should rent some carriage for us to use?" Ryuu said while running behind me. "No.. There's no need. I have our ride." I said while she thought that I had already rent the carriage.

Not long after our short dash, we arrived back at the abandoned church and everyone have already done preparing, Haruhime also stood there with her red kimono and dagger on her waist.

"Bell. You're the only one left here. Take care of Hestia-sama." I said to Bell before leaving. He looked at me and nodded his head with seriousness.

I opened Gate of Babylon and Vimana came out from it. "Let's leave." I said while walking towards it. "Is that our ride?" Revis said while already jumping left and right examining Vimana.

"Brace yourself, don't fall off." I said after everyone got on Vimana.

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

"Apollo-sama, Hestia Familia had been spotted leaving the city." Hyakinthos said while kneeling in front of Apollo.

"Good, let's start the plan. Ihihihihii.. Hahaha...." Apollo said while moving his chess piece.
