The Legend Fake

Chapter 39 - Back to Home

"congratulations on your success, Iona!" Said Izuru and Rin standing at the dining table, along with Iona and Asura.

"Thank you for welcoming me back here." Iona.

"You're always welcome here. Rin, instead of you also going with Iona, don't you want to thank me too?" Izuru asked again sitting next to Asura.

"I'm just following along." Rin replied, then they all started eating the food that was already on the table.

"I wonder, what are they so special that Izuru is desperately trying to bring them back?" Ask Asura inwardly.

"what's the matter, Asura? You're not eating?" Ask Izuru.

"Ah, yes!" Answer Asura started eating his food.

"I know you still can't accept me, Asura. I'm really sorry for before." Iona.

"It's good that you're conscious." Answer Asura.

"Hey, don't talk like that." Izuru.

"I brought something as my apology." Said Iona taking out a small box and placing it in front of Asura.

"No need." Said Asura directly refusing.

"Come on, Iona bought it for you." Said Izuru persuading Asura.

"How did you know I bought it?" Ask Iona.

"I just saw you walk into a store, but I don't know what that store is." Answer Izuru.

"Alright, this is because Izuru asked me to." Asura said then took the small box and then opened it. "Glasses? You think I'm a granny huh...!?" Asura asked with a sadistic look.

"Yet I don't mean!" Answer Iona.

"Try me to wear it first, who knows it suits you." Izuru.

"All right." Asura then tried to wear the glasses Iona gave her. "How's it?" Asura asked with a blushing face.

"Look good!" Iona and Rin.

"really? What do you think, Izuru?" Ask Asura.

"Good service for you." Izuru said then shifted his gaze.

His face became more red, then he removed the glasses. "Thank you, Iona. I'll keep it." Said Asura.

"He is very easily influenced by praise." Izuru said in his heart.

"By the way when do we start taking quests again?" Rin asked while eating.

"Don't talk about work now! We've only arrived from 3 days' stay up." Answer Izuru.

"If we don't get to work soon, we can't pay for this house." Rin.

"Ehh!? This house hasn't paid off yet? Aren't you getting a lot of money from selling crystals?" Izuru asked in surprise.

"The crystal we get is not a good quality, even it is a very bad quality. So, instead of nobody buying it, we're selling it cheap." Obviously Iona.

"So how many do you get? And how much is this house worth?" Ask Izuru.

"30 pieces of gold, and the price of this house is 150 pieces of gold." Answer Iona.

"So when do we have to pay the installments?" Ask Izuru again.

"in 3 days we have to pay 35 gold coins." Answer Iona.

"Now we have to find 35 gold coins from where!?" Ask Izuru.

"Well, tomorrow we have to start work!" Said Izuru spirit. A little while later, everyone had already finished the meal at the table, Rin and Iona were washing the dishes in the kitchen. Meanwhile Izuru was on the roof of push-up exercises as usual at night, accompanied by Asura.

"19...! 20...! Ahh. huh. huh.." Izuru finished doing push ups until 20. He lay exhausted on the floor.

"Izuru is growing very fast. I remember that day you could only do 8 push ups." Said Asura sitting on a bench near the plant pots.

"Yes, it's good that I'm growing fast." Said Izuru looking up at the night sky full of stars. "Now I believe that I can reach the stars in the sky." Said Izuru raising his hand as if he was touching one of the stars above.

"Ahaha... If that seems impossible." Said Asura laughing small.

...*****...

"Thank you Mr. Shun is ready to attend our banquet." Said Iona's mother sitting at the dining table together with Shun within a considerable distance.

"I'm glad to be invited. But, I have to leave now, because King Hyron also invited me to his palace." Said Shun standing up.

"Wait a minute, Mr. Shun, because there's someone I'd like to introduce you to." Iona's mother said, then the waiter behind her went into a door. And a few moments later someone appeared from that door.

A girl with long purple hair came before Shun. She lifted her short skirt a little, and said. "Introduce my name Karin Zergaken, I will be the companion of the hero in place of brother... No, I mean Iona. So please cooperate." Karin.

"He's going to replace Iona? Was she also forced to do the same as Iona?" Shun asked in his heart.

"From now on Karin will accompany your journey to strengthen yourself. Karin, please do your best." Said Iona's Mother.

"Yes, Mommy." Karin replied, saluting her mother as well.

After that they went to the kingdom of Hyron using the same horse carriage, along with the Commander who this time sat in front near the coachman. "Hey hey Mr. Shun! How does it feel to pull out that legendary sword?" Karin asked sitting next to Shun.

"the taste? Well, at first it was like something was flowing into my body and a little goosebumps." Answer Shun.

"Can I ask you again?" Ask Karin.

"Yes, please." Answer Shun. "He's not like the quiet Iona. How does his feeling about being my companion differ?" Shun asked in his heart.

"Hm... What else is it? At home, I always ask questions. But, why am I even confused when I meet in person? Ahahaha." Karin said with a small laugh.

"So, I'm gonna ask you something." Shun.

"Hm... What's up?"

"Are you also forced to be my companion? If that's the case, you don't have to." Shun.

"Mr Shun, don't equate me with my brother. I'm not a naive person like my brother. Since I understand very well my family's responsibility is for the sake of the whole country, nothing is more important than the good of everyone in this country." Karin.

"Is that? Sorry for misunderstanding." Shun.

"Just take it easy, Mr. Shun, I'll show you the great opportunity he missed." Karin said smiling at Shun.

"Oh yeah, by the way what was Iona like?" Ask Shun.

"Sister first? Yeah, like a kid in general." Answer Karin.

"Not that, I mean its nature. Was he always so grim?" Ask Shun.

"In that case, the old brother just sat in the library with the dying grandparents." Answer Karin.

"Grandparents dying?"

"Yes, my grandfather and my brother. But, after grandfather died, brother became grim and rarely spoke. She was always crying in the room, I was alone to wonder." Karin.

"He was very different from Iona. Maybe I'll just meet the two of them?" Shun asked in his heart.

Seriate...
