Another Life As Older Brother

"Anoo... Ageas.." Suddenly someone approaching me. "Hmm? Lefiya? You're not gonna swim?" I said while looking at Ais that already learn to swim with Tiona.

"About yesterday. I heard that you got mad because of me... Anoo... O.." Lefiya quickly stopped her word. "O?" I looked at her.

"Onii-san. Thank you." She said blushing while holding her staff even when wearing a swimsuit. "Lefiya.. You don't have to tangle with the past. Even if I had this memory. I could still distinguish my life right now and in my past life.

Even if I saw you as a family. Everything could still be changed. It's just that I felt a little more comfortable talking with you. That's all. So, you don't have to start calling me like that." I said while smiling looking at this silly girl.

"The... Then... What happened if I see you romantically?" Lefiya said while drawing a circle on the sand with her feet. I quickly remove my smile and looked at her blushing. "Hahaha... Sure, I don't mind at all, if you can make me fall for you." I said while fl.i.c.k.i.n.g her head and made her fall to the sand.

"But remember, my brother is Bell Cranel. Do you think you could look at him all day?" I asked teasing her before walking to the water. "She really never change." I said before diving and summoning Litry.

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

"Lefiya... What are you doing there?" Alicia said while walking with another guild member. A black cat demi-human, Anakitty Autumn.

"Alicia-san.. I... I.. I won't lose to you.." Lefiya said looking at Alicia. She looked at Lefiya with a confused gaze before connecting two and two together after she talked with Ageas. "I see.. then let's see who's the first one." Alicia said with a smile.

"What are all of you doing here?" Someone then said while walking to them. "Riveria-sama!?" Alicia quickly said looking at her with admiration.

"Pl.. Please don't look at me like that. Is it really weird wearing this?" Riveria said while looking at her outfit.

All three of them quickly shook their head "No.. It's the opposite, Riveria-sama. You looked really beautiful." Lefiya said admiring the beauty.

"I.. I see." Riveria said while playing with her hair. "Anoo.. Riveria-sama nyaa~. What do you think about Ageas-sama nyaa~~?" Aki or Anakitty asked her.

"Wh.... What are you saying? I mean, He's a good guy." Riveria said while looking at her swimsuit and comparing it with the one Loki gave her.

"Lefiya... Looked like we got another tough competitor." Alicia said after looking at Riveria's smile. "En! I agree. But still, I won't lose even to Riveria-sama." Lefiya said while both her and Alicia looking at Riveria with an eye full of rivalry.

Riveria soon noticed their gaze and looked at them confusingly.

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

"Litry.. don't swim too far, okay?" I said patting her before she swam by herself. I quickly went to the surface and looked around. Seeing nothing, I let Litry alone since she apparently could go back to Gate of Babylon.

"Ageas... I have been wondering for a while.. What is that monster?" Tiona said while swimming toward me. "Hmm? Tiona, where's Ais?" I asked her since she just teaching Ais how to swim just now.

"Tione is teaching her. She said that I should spend more time with you." Tiona said while pointing toward Ais and Tione. Tione looked at us but quickly looked away.

"Oo, Tiona. Is she still mad because we left her yesterday?" I asked her since Tione looked like avoiding me for some reason.

"Maybe.. She always does that." Tiona said ignoring her sister. "Well, let's just ignore it for now. And if you're asking about what she is. She is a leviathan, that's why I do not register her to the guild." I said, making her look at the distance with awe.

"Can I play with her?" Tiona asked while looking at me. "Please don't. Not right now, she wanted to explore the sea." I said stopping Tiona.

"Aaaww~~. Then, Ageas. When are you coming back to Orario?" Tiona asked me. "Hmmm, It should be tomorrow when I submit the quest at the guild."

"Hee~ Then we can't go back together. Loki-sama asked us to go back first while she's going to stay here with some members. Even the male member had gone back yesterday." Tiona said complaining.

"Then.. Let's just meet back at Orario." I said while swimming back to the shore after patting her head. "En! I will talk with Loki-sama as soon as possible." Tiona said while swimming behind me.

After arriving at the shore, finally, it's time to say goodbye to Loki Familia. Coincidentally, the time for saying goodbye is at the same time as the sun went down.

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

I went back to my inn since it's the gathering place that has been agreed upon before we're going on our separate way to enjoy the day.

"Welcome back, Master." Bache said while kneeling to me. "Bache... Do you want me to hit you or something?" I asked her while I get irritated that I had to remind her every single time not to call me that.

"I.. I.. I'm sorry, Ageas-san." Bache said while looking away from me. "Where's the other?" I asked her as an indirect way to forgive her.

"Everyone still out there, touring the city together." Bache said while following behind me. "You don't have to follow me everywhere, Bache." I said after taking a sit on my bed.

"Say.. Bache... Do you actually fear your sister?" I asked her after looking at her reaction yesterday meeting with her sister. She flinched and took a little step back and nodded after gaining her composure.

"So, you are scared of your sister and you want to kill her?" I asked her when she started releasing killing intent and glared at me intently. I quickly slapped both her cheeks to bring her to reality "Focus!" I said to her face.

Her eyes dilated and looked at me in surprise before looking away again. "Look at me." I said while straightening her head toward me. "I... I..." She about to turn her head away again because I could see her eyes kept looking away.

"Hah~... So, are you scared of me too?" I asked her. Bache quickly startled and look at me "I... I'm scared of you but I didn't want to kill you." She said while looking away after a few words.

"Hmm.. That's the answer I'm looking for. Alright, I will take your word as a promise. If you try to kill me or my family, I will kill you myself but outside of that..." I said while making her trembled in fear.

I walked past her toward the veranda and I could see a group of girls walking back toward me. "Bache... Welcome to the family." I said toward her while smiling.

"Now, Why are you wearing a veil all the time?" I said while walking closer. "This... I'm.. If you don't mind, I will take it off." She said while removing her veil from her face.

Her face got small lips combining with her sharp eyes which make her such a beauty.

"That's better." I said to her. "Listen to me, Bache. As long as you're with me, I will protect you from your sister. So, don't be scared of your sister. Alright?" I said to her.

She looked at me that smiling closely at her. She quickly hugged my neck but I instantly cover her lips "Not this time, Bache." I said after blocking her kiss.

She quickly turned her head away while hiding her face "I'm sorry, I'm acting on impulse." She said while sobbing.

Then I sit beside her and rub her head. "It's okay. It didn't mean I don't like you but not now." I said letting her cry for a moment. The reason is, for her to sort out her feeling first which I will be waiting later on.
