Another Life As Older Brother

"Is it fine, to leave it like that. Ageas." Bache said behind me while I looked disagree. "It's fine, Bache. This is different from Telskyura. This is a society in Orario. Receiving his confirmation is enough and other than that, we get to spend a holiday here. Where do you want to go, Haruhime?" I said since I have been neglecting her these few days.

"Eh? Me?" Haruhime said while looking at me with a surprised face. "Just said it." Aisha said while patting her head. "Wait, before we go. I want to asked for something." Suddenly, Revis said gaining everyone's attention.

"This is free time for us right? Until Eis and Litry came back." Revis said which I nodded to her statement. "Can I ask for some money?" she said while raising her hand.

"Ha!? Where did all the money I gave you before the journey here?" I asked her while glaring at her. "She used it all on food." Bache said.

"Hei! We agree to keep it a secret!!" Revis yelled at Bache but she only closed her eyes while listening to her. I sighed looking at her but still, nothing could be done. "Alright, here's more." I said while giving her some money.

"Yeay! I will be on my way." She said before started running toward someplace. "Ano.. Ageas...." Haruhime started speaking while tugging at my clothes.

"Hmm? What is it Haruhime?" I asked her. "I kinda want to be trained again. I don't want to be left behind." She said while looking down. "You.. What!!??" Aisha quickly yelled while trembling.

"Why not? I have been eager to get stronger." Samira said while pumping her fist while talking to Aisha. "Are you sure, Haruhime?" I asked her with a little concern but she nodded firmly.

"What about the other?" I said asking the other while Aisha reluctantly sighed and also agree to train. Even I'm reluctantly agreed since my purpose is to have some time with her after I felt like neglecting her.

"Alright, Let move to the other place." I said while all of us went to open space.

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

For a few days we have only been doing training in the day and I will be on the lookout at night with Ryuu. Aisha giving up on training on the third day before going unconscious that day. Ryuu did not participate to safe energy with me on the lookout after a few days where she slumped down in bed.

After all the training Haruhime, Aisha, Samira, and Lena got unconscious. Which made me, Bache, Ryuu, and Revis that always came at the last minute while eating, helped brought them back to the inn.

Now is night time, the time where I and Ryuu went on spying the man. Tonight, we have decided to take action after following him for a few days. The suspect came to the Guild Head, Rubato Ryan's house every single day, and went to report the conversation to another man that going back to Orario.

So, we decided to act after the suspect report to the second man, and the latter went back to Orario. Eis and Litry already went back after their journey around the sea. Tomorrow is the day for us to return after finishing the mission.

We are sitting at the roof of a building across the house. "Ryuu, it's time." I said after looking at the suspect running through an alley and meet someone.

We wait after the partner started walking leaving him alone before quickly knock him out on the neck and brought him toward an isolated place close to the sea to masked his screaming sound with the wave in the ocean.

After arriving at the place where we agreed on. I slapped his face multiple times to woke him up. Toed to a chair at the cave beside the sea. He woke up grunting.

I open Gate of Babylon while making a circle around him to broke him down of any hope of escaping. "Aaahh!!! Where am I!!?? Who are you!!??" He quickly shouted after realizing what happened.

He tried to move his arms but already tied to the chair, with also his legs. "Name." I said, making him looked toward me after hearing my voice.

"You... you... you... The white king." He said multiple times. To scare him, I send one sword flying between his leg to make him jolt with the chair. "Don't make me repeat my question again. Name!" I said after he looked at the sword that misses his leg.

"Hiii!!! I.. I.. I.. I... I'm Laon Reos..." He said while looking at me with a terrified face. "Good.. Continue.." I said while thinking 'Is it just me or the people in this world break too easy.'.

"Please.. don't kill me..." He said quickly pleading for his life. "You have no power to negotiate." I said while glaring at him and take a step forward.

"Al.. Alright.. I'm just a low-level member.. from.. from... Apollo Familia..." He said while looking down, as if he just throw all of his life away.

Eventually, he spoke without even thinking anymore or even being scared. He just said all that he knew. "From what I heard, Apollo-sama has been taking interest in Bell Cranel and recently, Sanjouno Haruhime. He asked me here to report the Hestia Familia, First Class adventurer, and Second Class adventurer (Level 3+)." He said.

"Then.. Is your familia the one that submitted a quest for our familia?" I asked him again which made him looked at me. "No.. Even though it's not us but I have been told about it. That's why I have been going back and forth to Guild Head's house in this branch for the information

Since the first time, I'm here. I don't know anything and I stopped asking questions." He said again.

"I see... So it really is Ishtar-sama that submitted the quest." Ryuu suddenly said behind me. "How so?" I asked her.

"Before this. Ishtar Familia had been reported that they affiliated with Evilus but when the investigation from the guild happened. They found nothing which made her asking for compensation. A lot in that case which then made the Guild didn't want to have any problem with the red light district. That's how Ishtar Familia held a rather big power over it." Ryuu explaining it to me.

"No wonder that our mission is to escort Kali Familia even back to Telskyura. She already knew everything, then in short. Apollo Familia working together with Ishtar Familia." I said deducting the whole process.

I looked toward Laon again. "Say... What is the highest level in your familia?" I asked him. "It's level 3, Hyakinthos Clio, our captain." He said answering my question.

"Then.. What is he planning to do? kidnap my brother and Haruhime?" I asked again. "No, Ageas. Even if he took an interest in someone. Apollo Familia still a righteous familia that acknowledged by the other familia. There's only one answer to that." Ryuu said cutting in the middle. She glared at Laon and he felt the cold chilling gaze on him.

He nodded and speak "Yes.. We have been declaring War Games a week ago and about to start in 2 days." He said.

"Hmm... I see... Well, we finished earlier than it should be. Let's head back to pack our thing." I said while walking out from the cave with Ryuu and drop a sword at his neck and decapitated his head.
