Soul Monarch: The Eclipse Feast Online

Home, New Year 2093 AD

I am now in the Asha family residence. Yes, where I lived and grew up since the age of six. Mireille has been separated from me after three years of keeping watch, meeting her parents and—

"Akaaakkkk!"

I was in a precarious situation as Alissa ran, coming at me with a tight hug. Real tight.

I can't breathe! I'm gonna die yeah!

Well, that's what I thought for a moment before he finally let me go. Looking at him a little, I asked, "Have you grown taller yet Al?"

"Hm. If not wrong 179 cm at the last measurement," he replied after thinking for a moment.

Yes, it was tall, very tall even almost 25 cm taller than me! Also ... its parts are also developing better, much better than me! Is it at F size? No, G?

Hey, where is my dignity as an older sister, huh?!

I wanted to cry on this but no, hold it well myself. Genetic differences are inevitable ...!

"Yes, I want to go to the room first so goodbye."

"Sister!" screams held me. Again, with a hug.

"Al, let me go."

I have to put all this luggage down, okay?

"But Brother will leave me ...!"

Why does that sound like a line in a drama of tears?

"Yes, yeah. I stay, I stay. But first help me put this stuff away."

"As expected of Brother!"

No. gabe. I was only planning on staying for 3 days anyway. Not for ever.

While thinking this, I started walking. This residence actually consists of several large houses with main buildings that often function as meeting rooms or formal events.

The left side of the main building itself serves as a dojo, both conventional and virtual. The right side is storage. We live in a residential complex behind the main building.

Yes, in short this residence is very spacious, as expected of the Asha Family. So, it will take some time before I get to the space that serves as my private room.

"Oh I just remembered. Brother Rere, Mama asked me to tell you that she wants you to see her as soon as you get there."

"Mother?"

"Ms." Think sure. "If I don't know what you want to talk about."

I see, 'do you?

"Yes, I'll be there soon so, Al, please put all this down for your brother okay?" I said as I handed over my luggage to her.

"Sister!"

Yes, please help sweet sister. I thought so as I waved my hand, leaving her alone.

After asking some other family members about the whereabouts of mother now, I immediately headed to the designated room.

But the new year is really crowded, yes. Will they be home this year?

Arriving at the designated room, I knocked on the door and...

"Come in."

... The voice sounded with me who was starting to step.

I saw a tall woman with long hair who was now neatly arranged into a kind of bun. Well, that's my mom, my mom and my real mom from Alissa.

Seeing me enter, he immediately let out a small sigh. "Reena, didn't you say to wear something more formal when you came here."

"But it makes me comfortable."

"Well, it's you, but I'm gonna help you give it to the new year's event."

Ahh, okay. It seems that this is inevitable. I thought as I nodded obediently and saw her let out a gentle smile.

Well, if anyone else saw it I'm sure they'd think he was cold and hard on me. After all, it was only because he did not know he had to be gentle and nurturing.

And yes, most likely it is due to the way the parenting done by the main branches of the Asha family, Bel, Eal, and Tal have differences with each other. This attitude is what I can expect from an Eal branch like him.

We talked about a few other things, something more intimate like a mother and child. After all, she has been a full-fledged mother figure since I was five years old.

"So Reena, Aarav is coming home this year."

And I tilted my head because of it. Why suddenly switch to this topic? But Aarav, huh?

"It's rare to hear him come home in the new year."

It is good that it is very crowded now.

"Hah .. it looks like the road will still be long."

"?"

"Anyway, rest. You must be tired after a long trip, right?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Alissa, why are you just lazing around?"

"Uhhhh. I'm tired Brother."

There's no way he's tired just from carrying my charcoal, so—

"Yes, is that because of studying for the exam?"

Even if the current education system focuses on practical skills and not only the value of understanding (theory), but the value of understanding is also important. It's like this how you recognize yourself about how far you can go.

Yes, to me, being able to do something I can't understand exactly feels kind of scary.

Moreover, the value is not all but it can be the first impression of others about you, okay?

"No. I majored in ESP deepening so it won't burden me much" he replied weakly. "I'm just too tired to play EFO."

Yea? Why could?

"Al, how long do you play in a day?"

"Umm ... probably only about a full day ...?"

Ya? Don't say ....

"It's in game time isn't it?"

I saw Alissa sweating coldly, trying to turn her face away from me and replied, "Mau— may be ...?"

Alright. What answer is that? Does he want to say something before he's broken up?

I lightly tapped Alissa's head to make her realize the mistake she made. To be seen from anywhere is excessive.

"How can you survive in this ...."

No. gabe. Has he chosen to leave the options entirely to Alissa? But from his nature it was impossible unless he had slightly given up on this daughter.

"So where is my brother now."

Alissa asked, trying to shift the subject while continuing to stroke her head. Is it that sick? Yes, it feels impossible especially with his body. Maybe he's just a little dramatizing.

“In EFO, right?”

“Um.”

"Still in Houra Town."

"Eahhh! Though I have been trying desperately to get out of Lorentz Kingdom to know!" the answer is a little hysterical.

"Yes, yes, your brother is moved to hear your struggle."

"But why does Brother Rere look creepy now," he muttered weakly but was still able to be caught by me.

Scary, huh?

"You should pay a little attention to your education you know."

"But Brother alone can be fine even if only SLTP graduates."

"Alissa, you don't have to copy that part, do you?" the voice sounded from the side. Yes, mom has come here. Maybe immediately look for Alissa after seeing that she is not in her room.

"But Brother Rere can do it."

"Don't make your brother an example."

I nodded in agreement on this. Well, I'm not a good example to follow.

Education is important to know. Yes, although it is true that I am not the right person to give such advice because I choose not to continue my education after graduating SLTP.

"You know your brother's a man whose finances have been stable since he was six, right?"

"But ...."

"Also, this brother of your Reen has truly been independent since nine years and relinquished his position in the family along with his departure from this residence. And yuuu? You're using that as much as you can to laze around, aren't you?"

"Nhh ...."

I saw my mother shake her head a little before looking at me. "Reena, can you teach him some theories related to ESP?"

"Yes okay, but I know that I'm more in control of the ISP?"

"Isn't it basically the same?"

Yeah, that's right, too.

I saw mom laughing and looking at Alissa with a smile. A smile that is so soft that it feels scary.

"So Alissa, please enjoy some time with your dear sister Reena."

And that also made Alissa slightly fall after hearing that. This meeting was really not in line with what he expected.

Once again, you get my condolences, poor wayward sister.
