Chapter 46
Looking at the side of where the three kids are, Kiel, Migo, as well as Kheina were laughing as they circle in one corner.
What are they doing? I thought some enemies came and—
“Hey. What happened??!”
Saypher shout as he walk towards where we are. The room was made of bricks and windows are… none. It seems to be a small eatery at some point. Although you can see how the place was in mess. There are also walls made up of folding metal. The one that was pulled down to be on use.
“They are just playing something”
I mumbled with relief as I had my heart be shocked about what I have heard. The day proceeds in no problem. As the sun goes up above the sky, most of us are already awake.
Specially Kiel who woke up way earlier than me
“Kiel, what would you like for breakfast?”
I just noticed it now, I've been calling Kael as Kiel for some time already. Why didn't he say something?
“Anything will do”
“You don't hate it when I calls you Kiel instead of Kael?“
He was little doze off. So he also do feel sleepy. I thought that he can stay away for so long since the last time I know it, he watched DVD all night long.
”Kiel or Kael, Brother Ethan pertains to me so it is alright“
I smiled. I may not know it but.. Those kids… I will admit that they do have some part in my heart already. Hah.. It was as if I already became their real brother…
”Alright, let's have fried egg and sausage. I still have some left from those we got in the supermarket we raid“
With a small laughter, I was surprised when Kiel look at me.
”Yes?“
Is there something on my face? Why was he looking at me that way?
Putting his forehead on the table, he mumbled some words I can't understand why he did say that.
”Brother Ethan is weird“
With a frown on my face, I had no idea what he was talking about
”Weird? Me? Why so?“
As he sat on the table that have an extension for it's chair, the gaps on the metal wall makes the surrounding much visible when the sun started to shine brighter
”You are hard to understand… I don't get it“
He seems to be in a great problem. Why is that a problem to be worried about? What is with me being weird?
”You run away… and wants to go away but they like to be with you. I wonder if you would do that to those who was wanting to be with you. I was worried… you are my friend. I need to help you, no… I want to help you. I want to protect you. Because that is what friends would do. You also helped me. You care for me. You care for everyone. A friend who cares for his friend would not be scared to be hurt for their stake… you are hurt when you helped us. You are hurt when you treat our wounds. Even if you are hurt because of us… you still prepare food for us. Brother Ethan is weird“
Ah.. So he was talking about that. I never notice that he was looking at it this further. I had no idea that he was observing my actions. Did I make him worry so much? But… what can I do. I just helped him since he would save Saypher in the near future…. Or did I really saved him just because of that?
I pat his head trying to give him comfort. He have no problem with being in our side. He didn't even say any words about the things we doing. Fighting people, staying in an unknown place… he didn't even had a bother trying to be friends with Migo and Kheina…
”Kiel, you are a good child. Thank you for being here with us“
He look at me and again buried his face on the table
”Brother Ethan is being weird again…“
I don't get it. What part of me is weird?
”Some times.. You are scary. Some times.. You are funny. Some times… you make me be worried, but you also makes me happy. You are also awesome but is weird specially when you do things I don't understand…“
Ah, maybe he was talking about the time I made Jinre be mad at me.
”but still… I think that Brother Ethan is weird but kind“
He say those words as he smiles at me. With that, a pair of hands cover his shoulder,
”Kael, you are not being fair“
It was Kheina. Oh, it seems like the others are awake already. Saypher was outside by the way. As for Fiolle, she was there dozing in one corner.
”Kheina“
”Hmmp, you are not being fain at all“ she said again as she pouts. There are still bed hair to be seen.
”Kheina, want some fried egg and sausage for breakfast?“
”Yes please!“
”Me too, I… also… want—“ yawn ”—some. Hah…“
Now that the kids are awake, time for the meal. Wait… why do I feel like.. I am their maid at some point. Did I became their nanny without even noticing it?

“Is everyone ready?”
Asking those words, Saypher fixed his boots. It was newly bought in the system. They seems to have lots of harto with them. How envious… really…
“Ah by the way, it seems like we all have different daily quest. What if we go do our business and meet at the front gate of the academy before lunch?”
With me saying my opinion, it isn't that bad since we can kill and level up on our way. Also it would be hard to move with group as big as this.
“Alright, but you three needs to go together”
“Why so? I also want to be alone” Migo exclaimed
“This place is big. It wouldn't hurt if you three go together”
With Kheina leading the way, the three of them leave as Migo seems to not be satisfied. A small wave was made by Kiel bidding us farewell.
“As for the three of us….”
“I will go with you” “ I am going with you”
They both said in unison
“Didn't I say that we would go in our separate ways?”
“But didn't you say that this place is big and that it wouldn't hurt if three would go together?” Saypher asked as he was trying to make sense in what he was saying
“I mean. The there of them. That doesn't count with use three. They are kids”
“But they are not normal kids” Fiolle let me be reminded
What she said is indeed true. Those kids… all of them are much stronger than me… but still… I can't accept to be together with them in doing my daily quest! I would finish nothing if they ever come with me!
Daily quest: Capture a bird alive
Going together with them…
As I look at those two, I can sense a dangerous auro surrounding them. If I were a bird, the very moment I sense those, I would surely go far away and never return.
“You can't go with me”
“We wi—”
“You. Two. Can't. ”
I need to do my daily quest in order to avoid that shitty first punishment! So don't go in my way!
