The Legend Fake

Chapter 41 - Brother and Sister Accurately

"we're finally meeting, brother." Said Karin standing by the horse-drawn carriage Iona was heading to.

"You..?" Iona seems to be very surprised by the appearance of her sister.

"What's wrong? You seem surprised to see me." Ask Karin.

"Why are you here?" Ask Iona.

"You haven't heard yet, if Mr Shun has a new companion?"

"So, you're his new companion?" Ask Iona.

"Right, I'm the only one who's capable, I made a terrible mistake by making you a hero's companion." Karin.

"I don't want to be a slave to any hero in the world anyway." Said Iona walking closer, then he passed Karin and headed to the horse carriage behind him.

"Stupid, you don't know the great honor you've missed." Said Karin turning around.

"I don't need that stupid honor." Said Iona starting to wash the body of the carriage with a wet cloth from the bucket, slowly Iona moved to the right while continuing to wash the horse carriage.

Karin then walked closer, then he put his feet into the body of the train that Iona had washed. "I heard you saved everyone in the village. Actually, I don't really believe in that, because you couldn't do anything since then, right?" Karin said that he was increasingly corrupting Iona.

"Can you not bother me to work?" Iona asked restraining her emotions.

"Ohh? It's a pity that you are now poor and have to work like this. Let me help you!" Karin said then he kicked the muddy ground and made Iona and her carriage covered in mud. "By the way it's our horse-drawn carriage, so please be clean huh!" Karin said and left.

Iona who looked extremely angry gritted her teeth, but she could still hold back her emotions and continue her work.

...*****...

The sun started to sink. Iona was facing the owner of the washing service to take his payment. "This is your pay. Your work is good too, I'll give you a bonus if you stay here." Said the boss of the laundering service while giving a bag of money.

"Thank you very much, but I can only work side jobs here." Iona answered taking the money.

"This is a difficult time for adventurers, right? All right, you can go."

Iona then went out of the washing service office, he then returned home. "I'm home." Iona said to enter the house, at the dining table there was already Izuru and Rin was counting the money they got.

"How's your job?" Ask Izuru.

"Lumayan, I work washing horse carriages." Answer Iona sitting on one of the empty chairs.

"How much is the payment?" Ask Rin.

"It! I haven't counted it." Iona said she threw her money bag at Rin.

Rin immediately catches him and pulls out all the money in the bag onto the table. "Hmm...? 3 pieces of gold and 20 pieces of silver." Rin said after counting all the money Iona got.

"How much did you get?" Ask Iona.

"I'm 4 pieces of gold." Answer Rin.

"I'm 8 pieces of gold." Answer Izuru.

"15 gold pieces!?" Iona asked in surprise.

"Yes, he got a bonus from Asura." Rin.

"Eheheh... Yeah, I think he understands our condition." Izuru said while scratching his head.

"But this is not enough to pay it all off. We just got 15 gold pieces." Rin.

"So we have to work like that again? Huh.... It's more exhausting and boring!" Said Izuru leaning limply on the chair.

"How else do you want?" Ask Rin.

Suddenly from the front door came a knock. "Who is that?" Izuru asked and then moved out of the chair.

"Good night to you!" Karin suddenly entered the house.

"It's true, it's nice to see you again." Karin said to be polite.

"You guys are really similar." Said Rin seeing Karin and Iona.

"Why are you here!? You better go now!" Iona.

"Oh well, don't be so brother. I'm here because I need your help." Karin.

"Help?" Ask Izuru.

"Mr Shun was given the task to investigate the crisis in Claric's kingdom." Obviously Karin.

"What kind of crisis do you mean?" Ask Rin.

"A lot of conspiracies that occur in the course, for example the news that the king of the kingdom Claric has died because the king who usually checks his people once a week, has no longer done it until a few months ago. His system of government has also become somewhat different now. So, how, are you guys willing to help Mr. Shun?" Ask Karin.

"No! We don't want to be in touch with Shun and you anymore!" Answer Iona.

"Alright then, I'm not forcing. But you are facing a crisis too, right? The pay is not a little. Well I'll go first, congratulations on thinking about your problems!" Karin said and left.

"Hey, do you have a problem with your sister?" Ask Rin.

"Yes, why do you seem to hate him so much?" Ask Izuru.

"She's the same as my mom, so I hate her! Already, I don't want to talk about it anymore!" Iona answered and went upstairs.

Izuru was currently thinking of a quick way to earn money, and in his mind there was only one way, which was to accept Karin's offer. Izuru then looked at the front door that had not been closed, as he wanted to close the door. "So how? Are you gonna take my offer?" Karin asked leaning against the wall outside the house.

"How much is the payment?" Izuru asked remained inside while holding the doorknob.

"First I'll give you 10 gold pieces and the next one depends on how helpful you are there." Answer Karin.

"Hm... That's a good offer." Izuru.

"So how? Do you agree?" Ask Karin.

"There's one more thing I want to ask you. What's wrong with you and Iona?" Izuru asked out facing Karin.

"Well, as always, brother-sister relationships in general." Answer Karin.

"So you won't tell me? I don't know your name yet." Ask Izuru.

"My name is Karin Zergaken." Answer Karin.

"Oh if my name is..."

"No need, I already know from Mr. Shun. I assume you agree, see you." Karin said and left in front of Izuru's house.

...*****...

"What crisis is going on there?" Shun asked in front of his house. Then he saw Karin coming and headed towards him. "How's it?" Ask Shun.

"Good, I also met brother."

"really!? What's the reaction like?"

"He was angry as usual." Answer Karin.

"Don't I tell you to just meet Izuru?"

"It just so happened that they were gathered together earlier." Answer Karin.

"Oh, it's my fault I sent you there. Did they agree to help us?" Ask Shun.

"Izuru agrees, but I don't know with brother and the other one. We'll just wait for tomorrow."
