Vol. 2 Ch. 5 Onee-chan's Influence, Call me Onii-chan!

Quina


Chapter 2

Onee-chan's Influence

"Graaa!"

The bear faced me.

I was at close range because I was watching, but I still did it like a total idiot.

Since I did it, I decided to just do it and stick until the end.

"Run you three! I'll lure him and try not to die until you get out of range!"

They looked at me when I shouted.

I was perfectly visible because of the position of the moon.

It shown on me revealing my face to them and the Giga bear.

But I didn't care if the Giga Bear sees me or not anymore. Because the Giga bear can smell the one who attacked him anyway.

I ran away at full speed.

I had a head start because the Giga bear had to reposition himself and went into chasing mode.

I can run very fast now because of how I trained myself every night.

The bear then chased me and I felt the ground slightly vibrate.

"Gaaah! I'm a big Idiooooooot!"

As I ran I shouted at my own frustration towards myself.

After that I tried to calm down my mental state and focused on thinking how to survive this.

I remembered the thick layer strings that I made before.

"It's my last chance of surival!"

That area was close so I ran to it at full speed.

As I ran the bear got closer and closer behind me.

When I was within range it suddenly ran on twos preparing to attack.

"Why the hell is this bear so flexible!"

I ran fast and was able to make it to the thick strings.

I jumped over it.

"If this doesn't work, I'll surely die."

I looked behind while running.

The bear got blocked by the thick strings but the nails got removed.

But because of the sudden change in momentum the bear fell and rolled a few feet, making him fall on his back. When this happens to a Mini Bear, it takes time before they stand up again. This must be the same with the Giga Bear.

"What luck!"

I ran at full speed until I was out of range.

"Haaa... I can't believe I survived that..."

After walking a distance after leaving the bear, I relaxed and rested almost out of breath, sitting behind a shadow of a tree for concealment.

I read in the books that Giga bears have opposite behaviors with the mini bear.

They are aggressive when engaged, but when the target goes out of range, if stops chasing. Unlike mini bears who would chase you towards the end of the world.

But there was also something bugging me.

Why is there a Giga bear here? Based on the most books I read, the rate Mini bears become Giga bears in this area are at least every 30 years, I just saw a Giga bear 3 years ago, why is there a Giga bear here now?

As I was thinking I saw three figures that looked like they were finding something.

Why the hell are they here?

"Where is that person?"

"Cry-sama! It's dangerous to be here, why won't you come back to safety!"

"Pallie-chan! We have to find that person and help him!"

"We will be able to help him if we report it to the adventurer's guild! Even if we find him, we will not be able to deal with the Giga Bear!"

I feel sorry for you Pallie-chan.

The things she said were the right decisions to make.

It must be hard taking care of children.

I am concealed in a shadow of a tree that monsters won't even detect me.

Having a princess in my favor might be good but being involved with royalty gains more risks than advantages.

"Oh, I see someone!"

The one who said that was Cry.

I'm so stupid, I forgot Moon-clan members can also see things in the dark.

But they only see silhouettes from what I read, so I can probably feign ignorance.

As they come near me I prepared myself.

Well... time to get involved in something troublesome.

The princess with glowing white eyes spoke to me.

"Ummm... are you the one that saved us?"

Should I say 'Yes'? Of course not. I don't want to get involved.

"What are you talking about."

"Ummmmm..."

For some reason she was fidgeting with flushed cheeks

The other two came with their eyes glowing with blue and green eyes.

"I think Cry-chan found Yuu-chan!" (Yuu-chan from Yuusha-chan(Hero-chan)

"Hello, thank you for saving us from earlier... But how did you run away from the Giga bear?"

"I don't know what you're talking about..."

Pallie and Heallie looked at each other.

"He said he was not the one who saved us Cry-sama."

"But he looks exactly as the person who saved us."

Pallie and Heallie looked at each other again, then Pallie stepped forward.

"Umm, could I request to let us see your face?"

"I'm telling you I'm not that person."

"But Cry-chan said that you looked like him!"

"How can she even tell that if you can't even see my face..."

Pallie looked confused then stepped forward.

"Umm... you know that our princess can completely see in the dark right?"

What the hell? The books didn't say royalty can completely see in the dark.

I should've done more research on the Moonclan if I knew that this would happen.

The princess spoke.

"But... still something is wrong."

"What is it Cry-chan?

"His eyes are not glowing..."

"What? How can that be?"

How can that be? obviously because I'm not from the moonclan.

Heallie got went near me then grabbed my arm.

"What a shy Yuu-chan!"

She pulled me into the moonlight.

""?!""

They were surprised.

"So he really is Yuu-chan!"

Ahhh.... goodbye my peaceful life...

"But why are your eyes not glowing?"

Why the hell are they asking me that question?

"Why are you asking that question?"

"We'll normally, our eyes glow at night right?"

"Don't you know that only you Moonclansmen are the only ones whose eyes glow in the dark?"

The three of them looked confused.

"Based on what you're saying is... you're not a Moon Clansmen?"

Ohhhhh... I forgot. I have black hair... they might've thought I was a Moon clansmen.

"You thought I was one? I have black hair but I'm not a Moon clansmen."

"Wait, you're not? and based on what you look like... Don't tell me Yuu-chan is pure human?!"

Why is she surprised? Are people with black hair or black eyes really rare? I mean... I saw one girl with them too, a few years ago.

In any case, my answer for her question is...

"Well, I don't know."

"Huh? Why?"

As Pallie ask this question, I know where this is headed, it's dangerous here so don't want to explain everything about me not knowing my race, that will take long.

"I'm lazy to explain. But if you ask around town about me, you would probably find out."

"Is that so?..."

She closed her eyes looking deep in thought and nodded to herself.

Pallie bowed her head.

"I know this is late and we have been rude for taking so long but... Thank you very much for saving us."

"Thanks a lot Yuu-chan!"

"Thanks my Yuusha."

It seems like Pallie is a well-manered person, Heallie is a very cheerful kid.

Cry was also a cheerful kid based on what I've seen before, but now she seems normal, maybe to act more like a princess in front of strangers.

"Oh, we haven't introduced ourselves... I'm Pallie OceanMoon, Royal knight of the moon."

"I'm Heallie BrightMoon! Also a Royal knight of the moon. You can call me Heallie-chan!"

"I'm Cry Moon, second princess of the moon."

Hearing this, I remember that Moonclan members have names that they pass down through their families from their mothers.

"Why is a princess here on Quina? Isn't your country far away?"

"We only snuck out because one of our friend snuck us out. We decided to only go out at night so we cannot be a burden to her."

"And I'm the second princess... Only Onee-chan who is the first princess is treated differently in us siblings, me and the first prince are treated normally."

"Won't there be people trying to kidnap you then ask for ransom from the royal family or something?"

"Even if I'm from the royal family, I'm still an adventurer..."

So the only one getting special treatment are the Queen and the one who will inherit the throne huh?

"My Yuusha, can I ask, what is your name?"

"Well my name is....Nameless."

"Nameless?"

The princess then tilted her head confused.

Again, if I explain, this will take long.

"You can ask people around the town about it."

"Yuu-chan! Why are you so shy?!"

"Heallie! Don't be rude!"

Pallie-chan thanks for saving me from this kid.

"Hmpf!"

When Heallie crossed her hands, pouted, then turned her head around, it looked so cute.

"So cute..."

"?!"

I don't know why I said that, but the moment I saw it. I knew that it was the feeling of seeing something 'cute'.

The princess looked at me surprised then Heallie turned to me.

"Cute? Thanks Yuu-chan!"

I don't know, but she really was cute! Maybe this was the reason Onee-chan was always telling us to call her onee-chan?

......

...I'll try it too!

"Umm.... Can you call me onii-chan?"

""?!""

The Princess looked shocked when she heard, looking like the world ended.

But why the hell is Pallie looking at me like that?

Pallie was looking at me like I'm the most disgusting person in the world.

What happened to the well mannered Pallie?

"Hmm... then... Onii-chan!"

Ahhh that feel so cute! I want to hug her!

"So cute... I want to hug her!"

"Hahaha! I love you too onii-chan!"

She then hugged me.

She was so cute.

I patted her head with my right hand while hugging it with my other hand.

I think I can understand Onee-chan a little now.

While I did this the princess was shaking looking like she lost a game or something.

And Pallie was still looking at me like I'm the most disgusting person in the world.

The princess walked towards us and she looked like an animal wanting something.

"......"

"......Onii-chan, can Cry-chan call you onii-chan too?"

"No way."

*Brakes*

""?!""

Heallie and Pallie looked surprised and the princess looked like something broke inside of her.

"Why?! Onii-chan!"

"I don't want to be involved with royalty."

"Don't you care about Cry-chan's feelings?!"

"You're the only one I need."

"Eh?! Hehehe onii-chan you..."

"Heallie?!"

Pallie was shocked and Heallie looked comfortable when I patted her head while she hugged me... so cute.

The Princess looked like she was going disappear any moment.

"Cry-sama! please get a hold of yourself!"

Pallie was holding the Princess in her shoulders while shaking her.

"Sorry, but Heallie is the only person I need, shoo* shoo*""

"Heeheehee... Onii-chan..."

The princess looked like she is about to burst. Then looked at us with her eyebrows in a v shape and her eyes with tears on the side. Then

"Shu-shut up! One day, I will, I will force you to marry me!"

"No, I will marry, Heallie."

""?!""

Both Pallie and the princess looked shocked

"Onii-chan! I love you so much! Let's have many kids!"

"Okay then, but... how do you make kids anyway?

"Hmmmm I don't know... Pallie-chan do you know?"

Pallie became red.

"D-D-D-Don't ask me!!!"

Why did she become red all of the sudden?

By the way, in the future when I asked this to the Berserker she suddenly banned me from reading anything about it, then she filtered the shelves with all books about it and put it on a secure place that has age confirming crystal that only non-minors can access.

The Princess gritted her teeth.

"I will force you to marry me!"

"Finally showing the true colors of a selfish princess huh? As I thought, your act before was fake! I was right to deny you!"

"Grrrrrr!"

I felt a very small vibration.

I looked at Pallie seriously.

"Let's go back, danger is coming."

"What? How do you know?"

"The Giga bear is near, I feel its presence we better go back before it reaches our range."

"You only want to escape!"

Ignoring the princess, I looked at Pallie with a more serious face then she replied with a nod.

"Cry-sama... let's go now, it's dangerous here."

"But!"

"It's okay, let's meet again tomorrow, it's late as well... we have to go back"

"Then let's meet up during night time, I'm also busy during the day, meet me by the river on the northeast corner outside the walls at 7:30."

"But!"

"Cry-sama!"

Pallie scolded the princess.

"O-Okay."

The princess answered in a quiet voice.

It was like a mother scolding a child.

There was also something I almost forgot to tell them

"Don't tell people that you met me outside."

"Why?"

"I'll explain tomorrow, I'll be going through a different path. I can't go back through the front gate."

"Why?"

"I'll also explain tomorrow, there's no time.... Goodbye Heallie-chan!"

"Goodbye Onii-chan!"

I released Heallie who I was hugging all this time.

I snuck back to town, then did my daily routine, then slept.

It was morning and I was helping in putting up the shop.

"Center-chan, don't you want to go to school?"

"Why? It seems like a waste of time."

"It's fun you know? You get to hang out with friends!"

How will that even benefit me? I'm not interested in people I don't care about.

"Don't you go to school to study?"

"There's no need to study, it's so easy!"

So I don't probably need it.

"So you go to improve your communication skills?"

"Hmmm... If that means having fun with friends then yup!"

Knowing her, she must have a lot of friends.

"Speaking of which, I read that you do battles in school to practice beating monsters."

"Yep, though it isn't required."

The school in Quina is school in which you learn general knowledge, they also teach swordsman class training but they don't require it to students.

In school, students lean their practice towards their desired class to have bonus skills and have higher starting stats.

"How do you practice it?"

"Well, there is this 'Sphere' that came from the capital, it makes artificial monsters and as well as gives the HP system temporarily to participants."

"The HP system onl? no physical enchantments?"

"No, they said that the machine can only handle the artificial monsters, and make the HP system available even for non adventurers as long as they are within the area. The artificial monsters created are only up to 15, but there was also an option to summon a monster you previously defeated."

"Level 15? Can non-adventurers even defeat that?"

"In our school, even 14 year old students find it a hard time to kill level 10 monsters."

"You mean, Giatoads?"

"Yes though, in history there was only one person who did it in another city, they said he became a 'Devil' after he became stronger as an adventurer."

"A 'Devil'?"

"I don't know, they are myths made by adventurers, they said that there are seven 'Devils' that appear from time to time."

"Myths huh? I never read anything about that."

"Yes, that was one of the most mysterious myths, if it was a widespread rumor, then it should be at least in any records or at least have an effect on culture, right?"

"That's definitely weird."

Seven 'Devils' huh? Sounds like something from a fairy tale.

"Nee-chan can sometimes talk seriously huh?"

"I have fun when talking about myths and fairy tales and that stuff! It brings flavor to the history!"

"Hahaha."

"Hey, why did you call me Nee-chan just now!, it's not that I mind because little brothers mostly say it that way, but I want you calling me Onee-chan!"

I suddenly got reminded of Heallie, it really felt good when she called me Onii-chan and she was so cute, maybe I'll try what she did to me to Onee-chan.

"Fine, then."

I hugged Onee-chan.

"Eh?! Center-chan?"

I looked up to her face and smiled copying Heallie.

"I love you, Onee-chan!"

Onee-chan suddenly made a massive nosebleed and fell to the ground.

"Onee-chan?!"

"....Gochishousama..." (Thanks for the Food)

After that, I never repeated copying what Heallie did ever again.

I went to the library at 10:00am

I got a book from the shelves, and went to the counter.

There, I saw the berserker reading

She is wearing white gloves, the one they use in the clinic.

"Acchoo!"

"So even Berserkers get sick."

She ignored what I said and just continued reading.

"Hey? Are you going to beat someone up?"

"Huh? Why did ask that?"

"Berserkers only wear gloves beat people up right?"

"Why do you always treat me like I'm violent?"

"You made me faint the first time we talked to each other you know?"

"It was all your fault."

"Anyway, what's with the boxing gloves?"

"These aren't even boxing gloves, My hand is having an allergic reaction, so I have to wear it until it's cured."

"Oh, is that so?"

She also looked like she had a cold, so I should probably lessen the teasing today... why won't she just stay at home? is she that much addicted to reading?

I opened the book 'Specialty Schools' and started reading.

[Some schools lean on teaching a specific class for more focused training. There are schools for Swordsman training, Archer training, Scout training, Alchemist training, and Crafter training. Priests and Magicians are special cases, since non-adventurers can't use magic, Priests learn Holy teachings and Magicians focus on intensive studying to increase their starting 'Int' stat when they become adventurers, and just balance 'Dex' after they become adventurers.]

I learned somewhere that Dex is needed to be balanced with Int to have optimal power and optimal casting speed for using magic.

I continued reading.

[Specialty schools have classified different grades depending on how high the quality of teaching is, the capital city, Anima, have all of the specialty schools and are Grade A schools. There are also entire towns that only focus on one of the six classes and they have Grade S schools for that class]

I remember that the school in Quina is a Grade S school for General knowledge which is useful for citizens and adventurers. Though their class training is only Grade A swordsman class, meaning that it's all up to the student's personal training outside of school if they really want to specialize in a class.

I read the book until I finished it and returned it to the shelf.

After reading it I got another one... I got curious of how the <Taunt> skill works because of what Pallie said yesterday.

[The Hate System]

The most important part is.

[—The 'Hate System' is something about who the monster will attack. Monsters will attack the person with the most 'Hate'. 'Hate' increases when a person deals damage to a monster or uses a skill that increases it like <Taunt>.—]

I wonder if I'm going to use this later? This will probably be a good way to devise strategies when in a party.

I got another book, it's because I saw elemental magic yesterday.

[Elements and its effects]

I started reading it.

[Magic, Weapons, and other things can have an element. Magicians Magic have elements. Certain adventurers are able to change the element of the weapon. The 'No Element' element is 'Neutral'.

There are 8 Elements, Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Lightning, Ice, Light, and Darkness.

The Fire Element has the strongest attack power, and has the chance to burn enemies.

The Water Element is considered as utility or defense element, it takes out fire, weakens or hardens earth, improves lightning damage, improves freezing chance, etc.

The Earth Element is used as utility and damage element. It also increases blunt damage to enemies. It has the chance to stun enemies.

Wind Element is used as damage and speed element. It also increases slicing damage to enemies. Wind Magic's speed is also improved by the dex stat.

Lightning Magic is the second fastest element and the second strongest attack power. It has a chance to shock enemies.

Ice Magic is used as a disabling element. It slows down enemies and also has a chance to freeze them.

Light is the fastest element. It has a chance to blind enemies. The Light element can easily pierce the dark element.

Dark is mostly used for blocking enemy vision or hiding oneself. It has a chance to blind enemies. The Dark Element can easily pierce the light element.]

Wait, so Light and Dark can pierce each other? what?.... well, I guess I'll just have to see it for myself sometime later.

I returned the book to the shelf, when I returned it, I saw Xeline reading at a fast pace as usual.

I thought 'Why hasn't he won our battle even once yet if she's that fast when reading?'

I ignored her and got another book, it's about magic.

I got the book 'Basic knowledge on Magic'.

I went back to the counter and sat down.

[Magic power is determined by the 'Int' stat and the casting speed is determined by the 'Dex' stat. There should also be a balance between them because the higher the gap your 'Int' have to your 'Dex' the longer you have the longer you have to cast magic.]

I also learned somewhere before that the two advance classes for Magicians have their own stat specialties. Most great Magicians build Higher 'Int' in the balance since their magic consume more mana with its high damage. And scholars have Higher 'Dex' in the balance to focus on speed casting flexible magic that has lower mana usage.

Though, some of them do unique builds, most of them are not 'Optimal'.

I saw a book beside me that says 'Moon kingdom Merchandises'

I remembered the Moonclansmen yesterday and opened the book.

I read some items, there were some amazing merchandises but there was something that caught my eye.

It's the 'Clear Moon', a crystal that allows the user to see clearly, like a replacement of the glasses.

I thought that maybe I should ask them for one, and give it to the berserker as payment for the free admission and borrowing of books.

I looked at the time and it's almost lunch time.

I went to the bench to eat lunch.

After eating I did my daily routine at the woodworking shop then went to the blacksmith.

I went to the blacksmith shop to practice smithing.

I continued to work on my sharp gauntlets and whenever the blacksmith see me, he says

"Making equipment from a fantasy, is one of the best times when being a blacksmith, keep your heat up! Flame Boy!"

I am making this 'fantasy' equipment to be able to climb trees faster though.

After the day I completed the gauntlets. I made it a little loose so that I can use it for at least a few years while I grow up.

I put a belt lock on it on the inside so it will lock in my small hand.

After that I went then went to the pharmacy at 6:00pm.

"Hello Center-chan!"

"I'll be in your care again Onee-chan."

"Can you repeat what you did for me a while ago please?"

"I won't, you'll die."

"Pleaseeee??"

I won't do it, but it's hard to deal with Onee-chan so I'll make an excuse.

"If I did it over and over again, it won't feel special anymore wont it?"

"Buuu~ not really..."

"I want to do special things for Onee-chan, so will you please let me go this time?"

"Kyaaah! If you're like that then its fine!"

*Thud* *Thud* *Thud* *Thud*

Xeline rushed to the back.

Something seems off when I saw her, Since Onee-chan was focused on something else she didn't see her.

Onee-chan thought me how to make Antidotes properly.

"Center-chan, wait for it to bubble, wait for 3.5 seconds then put the--"

For making potions, it should be as accurate as possible for it to be effective. Onee-chan mentioned that in Xeline's second try, she made an antidote that can cure a poison from a level 80 monster.

That crazy girl is a hell of a monster.

Xeline went out the back and started to go to the stairs.

"Isn't there something wrong with the brat?"

"Oh? Hehehe... are you worried? Can you please check on her Center-chan. I'll finish this one up first."

I want to say 'don't want to' but it's hard to deal with Onee-chan so I just went to her.

"Hey brat, give me some of those."

"I don't need your help."

"I don't care about you, Onee-chan just told me to help you."

"Hmpf."

I got some of the load she's carrying and she went up the stairs.

I followed behind her and Onee-chan was glancing backwards with a happy face.

A few moments later Xeline lost balance and I had to catch her from behind.

Because of this the boxes I was holding fell to the stairs.

"Kyaaaaaaa!!"

Onee-chan squealed happily again.

"Oi brat, you're so lame."

"Shut up kid, why did you drop my materials?"

I noticed that something was wrong with her.

I placed my right hand to her forehead.

"Kyaaaaaaaaaa!"

Onee-chan seems to be enjoying herself

"What are you doing?"

"You have a fever, I thought stupid people don't get sick?"

"Shut up, don't tell onee-chan, I don't want her to get worried."

"Then, why don't you move and walk upstairs?"

"I can't move, carry me upstairs first then just retrieve the materials later."

"I don't want to carry you."

"Do you want to deal with onee-chan?"

"....."

I then carried Xeline on a princess carry, she was so light... or was I just too strong for hunting monster all these years?

"Kyaaaaaaa! Kyaaaa!"

"Why is Onee-chan so happy?"

"I don't know, don't ask and just go upstairs, why are you so slow?"

"Should I just drop you here?"

"Don't drop me you idiot."

We then went upstairs and I carried her to her room.

This is the first time I entered her room, it was full of equipments for making potions, and as well as shelves with potions that I haven't seen before. There was also a door on the left side, with a name tag that says 'Creation Room' with a lab gown hanging on the side.

Maybe that's where she makes potions?

I then laid her down on a pink bed.

"Hey kid, get the materials you left downstairs."

"Got it, Onee-sama."

I still call her Onee-sama because I'm currently the loser of our bet.

"So you can be obedient sometimes huh?"

I wanted to respond to her, but I have better plans.

I then went downstairs and got the materials.

Then—

*Thud* *Thud* *Thud* Open.

"Xeline-chan you're sick?!"

Onee-chan then went to Xeline and touched her forehead.

"Why didn't you tell me?!"

I was behind Onee-chan holding the box of materials.

Xeline looked at me.

She looked at me with a pissed-off face like saying 'Why you!!!!'.

I looked at her with an evil grin on my face.

"Center-chan, go get a bucket of water!"

I slowly walked to the door.

"Center-chan, why are you so calm! Go faster!"

"Y-yes!"

I ran downstairs to get a bucket of water.

Onee-chan is overeacting... it's just a fever.

Maybe she got it from that Berserker? Berserkers are even able to do biological warfare huh?

I went upstairs and went inside Xeline's room.

"Hurry up Center-chan!"

"Y-Yes!"

I put the bucket beside Onee-chan.

"I'll wipe of your sweat first, and change your clothes Xeline-chan! Sit here!"

Xeline sat beside the edge of the bed, then Onee-chan looked at me.

"Center-chan?"

"What?"

"You want to stay?"

"Why?"

"Please get out for a little while."

"...Okay."

I just went out while wondering why she wanted me to get out.

I noticed someone went into the shop, and it was Sensei.

Sensei went in the shop, looked around, went upstairs and saw me.

"Why is no one manning the shop?"

"Well..."

I looked at the door then Sensei entered it.

Onee-chan is in front of Xeline who was naked, and was drying her with a towel.

Onee-chan looked at Sensei with tears on the edges of her eyes.

"Mama... Xeline is... Xeline is..."

Sensei went beside Xeline and touched her forehead.

"Hmm a fever huh?"

"Mama! Why are you so relaxed!"

"You're overreacting Roxelle..."

Sensei got the towel Onee-chan was holding and continued drying Xeline who was not wearing any clothes.

Onee-chan looked at my direction.

"Center-chan?!"

"Why?"

"Get out!!"

"Huh? Why?... Okay okay!"

Onee-chan glared at me and I went outside.

This is the first time Onee-chan glared at me like that, why was she angry?

After a few seconds, the door opened again, and Onee-chan was there standing.

"Center-chan, I can't believe that you were taking advantage of that situation to look at her naked body."

"Huh?"

"Roxelle, some kids don't learn things about that until they are grown up, maybe Nameless-kun is that kind of kid."

"Ohhhh.... So Center-chan is just innocent? That's just so cute!"

I have no idea what they are talking about.

I entered the room and looked at Xeline, she is now lying in bed tucked with a wet towel on her forehead, her face was flushed and she was sweating.

"Hmmm, I'll be the one to take care of her... you two go back downstairs, the shop is still open you know?"

"But Mama! What about Xeline-chan!"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of her."

"...But!"

"If you stay here, then she won't be able to rest properly."

"...Okay."

As she said that we went towards the door.

"Bye Xeline-chan! Please dont die!"

"Roxelle... you're over reacting."

"Bye, Onee-chan..."

When Onee-chan went downstairs Sensei looked at Xeline.

I also looked at Xeline.

She looked back at me.

I had another evil grin then placed my right thumb to the left side of my neck and run it to the right side, like cutting of my head like telling her 'Die!'

She looked so pissed off when she saw this, and looked like she was about to burst out of anger.

Victory.

When Sensei looked back I already went out.

After 30 minutes sensei went down the stairs.

"Mama?! What are you doing here! What about Xeline-chan!"

"She is sleeping."

"What if she dies!"

"She needs to rest... we shouldn't disturb her.

"But!"

"Roxelle."

"......."

"Fine... you can go beside her, but you have to keep quiet and not touch her, you just need to watch over her, got it?"

"Okay mama! I won't do anything that would bring harm to my Xeline-chan!"

Nee-chan walked upstairs, went in Xeline's room, and slowly closed the door.

When 7:00 came we closed the shop.

When I was about to leave I looked up the stairs.

"........"

"Don't worry Nameless-kun, Xeline-chan will be okay."

"I'm not worried about her."

"Is that so?"

When Sensei said this she was smiling a happy smile.

Why did I look upstairs though?

"We'll take care of her, you can go out now Nameless-kun."

I remembered that I have some people to meet today at 7:30.

"Okay, bye Sensei."

I ate, then went out to my sneak area at 7:30, but when I got there.

"What is this?!"

My way outside is blocked by a plank of wood, with nails poorly made.

I can destroy it with my hands, but if the person who did this saw that the one he made was broken, he might report it and completely seal this path with steel bars or even concrete.

"Hmmmm, what should I do?"

I remembered that the three are outside this wall already.

Hmm... fine then.

I wrote something with my ballpen and paper, got a rock, Tied them together.

I wrote 'Come to this side of the wall first.'

I threw it over the wall to the other side.

I heard someone say 'Ouch!' on the other side, so I'm pretty sure they're there.

After a few moments then three figures approached me.

Three figures where there, and the princess had a bump on her head.

"Perfect headshot."

"Do you hate me that much?!"

Pallie went near me and said.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"I didn't know the princess was there Pallie, so I had no intentions to assassinate her."

"No, it's not that! it's just something was bugging me all this time."

"Hmm what is it?"

"I've been wondering all this time, if you're not Moonclansmen, how did you become an adventurer so young?"

"I'm not an adventurer."

"""You're not?!"""

Me and my big mouth.

"But I thought only adventurers can only leave town?"

"Well..."

I told them about how I sneak out every night and stuff like that.

After explaining Pallie asked a question.

"Then yesterday, when you saved us, you put your life in danger?"

"What do you mean? Even if I'm an adventurer, I would've still died there you know?"

"No, I actually thought you we're a high level adventurer."

"Hmmm? is that so?"

"So you saved us knowing that you might die?! Onii-chan, I love you so much more!"

Like I said, even if I was an adventurer I would die. But still she is—

"Too cute..."

"Hehehe... Onii-chan..."

Heallie hugged me.

I hugged her back while patting her head.

Is Onee-chan having an influence on me? I don't care... this feels good.

The princess went to me and bowed her head while having a red face.

"Thank you so much for saving our lives, we are forever in your debt..."

"Don't try to act like a princess, I already know that you're a spoiled brat who would abuse her power to get her what she wants."

"What?! I'm not that kind of person!"

Pallie bowed her head too.

"I'm really grateful for saving the princess... please tell us if you ever need something."

"Well... actually, there is something I want that you can only get from the Moon Kingdom."

"Hmmm? What is it?"

"Do you know of the 'Clear Moon'?"

"Ahhh, that Jewel!'

"Do you have some?"

"We don't..."

"Oh, if that's the case that's too bad..."

"... do you have other request."

"Nah, it's okay... I did it in the spur of the moment anyway, it's not that I wanted to save you."

"Onii-chan! Tsundere! So cute!"

I wanted to say, 'how is that tsundere?!' but I didn't because she was just...

"too cute, can I bring you home as a body pillow?"

"Hehehe.... onii-chan."

"Heallie! Get away from him!"

"No! Don't take me away from my Onii-chan!"

The princess was pulling my Heallie away from me.

"This spoiled brat really does only abuse her powers."

"Wha?!"

Pallie looked at me and asked me a question.

"Come to think about it, if you're not an adventurer, how did you lose the Giga bear yesterday?"

"Oh thats..."

I put my hand on my chin thinking of something.

"Onii-chan, whats wrong?"

I remembered that when they were being chased by the bear, it only caught up to them because they got cornered, which means that they are just about the same speed when running.

If this is the case...

Maybe....

I thought of something stupid but for some reason, I was getting exited....

Why am I getting exited? I'll die if I do this...

What the hell is this feeling?

Gaaah! fine, I'll just do it.

"Before I answer that, can I ask you you're levels?"

"I'm level 13."

"Level 12!"

"I'm level 14."

"So the princess also hogs all the EXP huh?"

"No! It's just that I am the damage dealer!"

Pallie is 13 Heallie is 12 and the princess is 14.

I remembered, when Aura-nee and the Moi guy was level 19 when they defeated the Giga bear. Maybe we could beat it since we have 3 adventurers and I can support them too.

"About that request."

"What?"

"I request the three of you to help me kill the Giga Bear."
