Now William, along with all his brothers and parents, is in the dining room.
The dining room is very large, even the table alone is able to accommodate 50 people to eat together.
There were many servants and knights lined up neatly around the room.
The one wearing gray clothes who was next to Elsa was Desir. King of this kingdom. He is also the father of his five children.
"Dad," call the curly black haired girl. It was Eria van Bramasta. The eldest son and first brother William.
"Hm? what's up?" Sahut Desir while looking at his daughter.
"I want to ask Permit—," Eria said while sulking.
Swish and the others stared in wonder at Eria. Because very rarely he, put on a face like that. Usually he is the most violent child anywhere and anytime.
The mouse looked in wonder at him. "What's wrong? why are you putting on such a weird face, Eria?"
"Any? Just so you know, I just tried to act like a girl in general," complained Eria by showing her real face.
"Hmmm," Desir put on a straight face when he saw the behavior of his tomboy son this one. "So what do you want?" ask Desir.
"I want to ask permission, tomorrow next week, I will return to the academy," he said insistent. It's just like he didn't ask for permission, but it's more forceful to give permission.
"Eria, we're eating you have to take care of your attitude" Elsa said with a smile on her face. But that smile looks so scary.
"M-sorry ma'am," said Eria, as she felt cold sweat running down her back.
"Eria, aren't you on vacation now? but why are you going back to the academy next week?" ask Desir. Just yesterday he came back from the academy and now he says goodbye to come back again, while this is still a holiday.
"Yes, dad. I want to take the training of the labyrinth expedition with my seniors. I also got permission from my teacher. And they allowed it," explained Eria with a face of sumringah. "J-so dad can I follow him," Eria once again acted like a normal girl as she said that.
Desir looked towards his wife, and Elsa nodded her gaze back.
"Hmm .. OK, I allow it. But remember, beware, the labyrinth expedition wants it to be just an exercise, stay dangerous" Desir advised.
"Yes father I understand~, also thank you~," looks a big smile he faces Eria now.
William who heard the conversation of his father and brother put on a curious face. "Labyrinth expedition? what'sthat?" ask William.
"Expedition, you could say exploring a very mysterious place that has never been explored. While the labyrinth was a place more like an underground world, with countless dangerous monsters inside," the one who answered him was Rain. Second son and second brother William. She had silver hair like Lisbet, perhaps she was the one most similar to her father who also had silver hair. She is 11 years old now and two years younger than her sister Eria.
Hearing that William put on a face of admiration for his brother Eria. "Woah~ sister, isn't that cool!"
Hearing the admiration of her sister, Eria showed a smug smile on her face, puffing out her chest that had not even grown yet.
"Hump! of course, brother is already cool from the first~." He was very happy when his sister praised him.
"Uhum, you two don't talk too much while we're eating," once again Elsa rebuked her children.
"Sorry," the two of them immediately looked down apologetically and fell silent.

Next day.
"William, I'll lure them out you get ready," Rain from a distance shouted to William.
"Yes" William, who was ready at his place, answered his brother's call.
William gripped the sword he was holding with both hands stronger.
Rain can be seen jumping from one tree to another. He was now fishing for a horned rabbit chasing him in the back, where William was.
William just silently watched the movements of his brother. From there he can guess where their hunted animals are now.
Rain was 10 metres from William. He jumped behind his sister.
[Keuack!]
At about the same time two horned rabbits jumped from behind a bush.
William who had prepared from earlier, immediately slashed at them.
"Yeah!" One of his slashes hit one of the horned rabbits.
*dwelling
The horned rabbit was instantly split into two halves.
The only one who was still alive, immediately turned around to see his friend killed by William
"Sister! one escaped!" William immediately told his brother.
"Send me!" Rain, who was also aware of it, used his spear to directly attack their prey animals who tried to escape, by throwing his spear straight towards the prey.
"Curtain! Damn it escaped!" Rain was also irritated that his attack had failed to hit the target.
"Sorry brother, I should have been more agile," William felt guilty that he was one of their game animals off.
"Hahh, no it's not your fault. That creature is very agile. Even we need to trap him like this, in order to get him. Although only one, but this is enough," said Rain tried to comfort his sister who looks guilty.
Rain who saw his sister did not respond at all. Trying to find another discussion.
"Before going home, how do we roast and eat this first," Rain took while carrying the hunted animals they both got.
"Yes," replied William briefly.
★★★
A few moments later.
"Wil, take this. Look out still hot," Rain gave William a piece of their grilled meat.
"Thank you" replied William. Seen William blowing-nipple freshly baked meat that. Then eating. "Woaah~ I didn't expect to be this good," this was the first time William was invited to hunt his brother. And also the first time he ate the animals he hunted.
The sweet taste of the fresh meat as well as the fat of the meat that melted in the mouth really spoiled his tongue. Even without salt, this meat still tastes good.
"It's good that you like it" Rain replied with a happy smile at her sister.
"Sister, I hear you're going to perform a spirit awakening ceremony next week" William asked as he ate the roast he was holding.
Rain nodded. "Well, honestly I'm a little nervous. Hahaha," looks Rain put on a wry face, with a troubled laugh.
"He? Why?" William was just wondering why his brother was putting on such an expression.
"You know how else, I'm not too used to events like that, so I'm nervous" Rain just told me the truth.
Imagining herself in her brother's position, William slowly begins to understand what her brother is feeling now. He also often feels nervous if invited to a banquet or something like that.
"Well, that's right, too" William replied with a troubled smile.
"But one day you will also experience William" Rain said.
"I wonder what the ceremony is really for."
"It was just a proof that we are the use of the spirit, to all the people in this kingdom" Rain explained.
Does that really need to be done? thought William. But there is something more to the question now.
"Oh yes, brother, but what if we don't have spirit power in our bodies?"
"That's impossible, all members of the kingdom are spirit users. Fathers and mothers are even spirit users, so surely since we are their children, we must also be spirit users, right?"
Rain only thought because they were descendants of Spirit users then it was certain that they were also spirit users.
A simple thought. William agrees with that, too.
"Yes you're right too brother, ahaha .. I'm too worried about unnecessary things" he said, scratching the back of his head.
"But William, if you grow up later, I'm sure you'll definitely become a great user of spirits."
"Hm? Isn't sister more worthy of that?"
William just doesn't understand what makes Rain say that about him. He thought it was his brother who was clearly better than him.
"No, when I was your age I wasn't even good at using swords, unlike you who looked very good at swordsmanship, like now." Rain said what he saw from his point of view.
A spirit user. Their prowess was not only seen from their ability to control and manipulate spirit energy. But also the ability to use weapons.
"But the one who taught me the sword is you brother. Even you're better at using spears," William just disagrees with his brother's thoughts. For him it was his brother who was clearly greater than him.
"But you can develop what I teach Wil, that's what amazes me." Rain realized his sister was very quick in understanding things. It was undeniable that even what was taught could be learned this sister very well.
Even if it's just a sword policy. Still Rain realized that his sister was very talented in this matter. And that's what makes him smarter at using the sword than he is.
Rain continued. "When we grow up. We'll both be the greatest spirit knights in the kingdom, and defeat Eria, okay!"
"Yes!" sahut William with a face of spirit.
*A promise that was accidentally formed from the words of these brothers.*
