Hello Brothers: The Prince of Twins
Chapter 20 Negotiations

Thirty minutes was wasted, but Alisya stood there. Although his legs were trembling with aches he just walked around a little so as not to get cramped, it felt bored but with occasional peek into the class his heart became warm again and eager to continue waiting.

The door opens with a lecturer who first exits the class, followed by other students. Alisya tiptoed slightly in order to see clearly in the midst of the booming crowd, looking around for someone she had been waiting for.

He smiled as he managed to find a man walking hastily in the corridor.

"Agler!" call him.

Agler looked up and smiled at Alisya who ran up to him.

"Hi" said Agler.

"Hi too" replied Alisya.

They walked together and Alisya started a conversation.

"The views in this city are very different, I was quite surprised to see people who were always there everywhere. I wonder if these people are not sleeping? because even though it's late at night they're still hanging around"

"Hahaha I was as surprised as you, I was amazed at the rapid construction of the city with its skyscrapers" Agler said.

"Do you know of any interesting places here?"

"Not much, I'm new and busy working so there's not much I know"

"So yeah, I want to go for a walk but unfortunately I don't have any friends and I'm afraid of going rough too"

"You want me to take you? I can ask Uncle Giant for a day off"

"You're gonna drive me?" ask Alisya pleased.

"Of course, tomorrow after my class is over"

"Okay, I'll wait for you"

"Then I'll see you tomorrow" Agler said.

"Law.... Agler!"

"Yes?"

"Would you like me to take you? if you use my car will be fast until" Alisya bargained.

"Did I not trouble you?"

"Of course not, let's go!" bring Alisya.

"Well, thank you very much" replied Agler solemnly.

Alisya happily led the way to her car parked outside the campus, a driver was ready to drive her.

With Alisya's huffiness continuing to scavenge for food on her plate, Joyi was still there to accompany her to breakfast before going to campus.

"Um..mmr"

"Yes dear"

"Later home from college I want to play with my friends, not far just around the campus. Um.... Can I go?" alisya asked worriedly.

"Of course, son, you have a personal life. Have fun with your friends, if you want to go home you tell your driver"

"Thank you" replied Alisya happily.

He was already impatient to leave, after his class was over as soon as he went to Agler's class and waited right beside the door. Several times he stared at the watch in his hand and tidied up his clothes, not forgetting he also glazed just to make sure his makeup was perfect.

Alisya immediately kept the glass she was holding as the lecturer opened the door, the children from the class followed later.

"Agler!" call him while running over.

"You didn't forget your promise yesterday, did you?" ask Alisya.

"Of course, I found an interesting place let's go" asked Agler.

On foot they left, enjoying the scenery around and joking. Alisya seemed happy because of that, she could not stop smiling and laughing all the way until they arrived.

It was a pier, where the fishermen related the results of the fishing to be sold to the market. Agler took her to the other side where the scenery was more beautiful with seagulls airing above sea level.

"This is really great, I really did not expect to see this beautiful sea" said Alisya.

"I'm sure the underwater scenery is more beautiful than this" Agler said.

"Yes." answered Alisha.

The wind gently swept her hair, flying every strand of it covering her face. He tried to move it but the strands of hair again covered his face and eyes, Agler who saw it immediately took a strand of Alisya's hair.

Their eyes clashed as Agler's finger swept across his cheek, smiling after getting rid of the hair. Making Alisya's heartbeat beat fast, he returned the smile even though his ears were hot from embarrassment.

"The wind is quite tight yes." said Alisya turned his face so that Agler did not see his reddened face.

"You're right, we'd better go somewhere else" Agler asked.

They decided to eat on the side of the road, although sometimes there was still wind blowing but not as cold as when on the dock.

Their journey was completed just as dusk arrived, they separated when Alisya was picked up by his driver. Farewell and a wave of hands to mark the end of their meeting that day, Alisya smiled happily because he could spend his time with Agler as he wished.

Agler himself came home on foot because the distance from the dock to his house was quite close, although it took a little until the night really arrived.

"Aglers"

Uwa's....

"Gu-teacher Nick, since when were you there?" agler asked in shock as Nick was suddenly standing next to him.

"I'm sorry I startled you, sorry also because I came late. Ima asked me a lot of things when I was about to leave and for that I had to make a reason that really convinced her"

"And I told you that the teacher didn't have to come, I just asked you a few things about the witch"

"Stay, before I see you my heart will never calm down"

"Well how else, now I have to find an excuse for Uncle Giant to accept you at home"

"That's not necessary, a few miles from here there's an unused building I can live in there"

"So apparently, sorry to be troublesome" Agler said.

"W-what? but it's pretty risky, what if they won't listen to you?" ask Agler worried.

"You don't have to worry, I can handle this" Nick said.

As an ex-soldier it was not difficult for him to talk to witches, he also faced each other face to face so that he knew how to speak properly with them.

Nick leaves after convincing Agler that he will be fine, alone he walks around the area only to meet a witch.

At first it did not go smoothly, eventually Nick changed the plan by using bait. He hooked a young woman to be invited to walk with him, with some money he had is not difficult to find prey.

He initially takes the woman around until he finally decides to take her to a quieter place, where Nick makes the woman sleep and slashes her neck to enjoy the red liquid coming out of her.

Brucks

True what Nick had predicted, he had just started sucking a magical girl attacking him. With just one hand Nick managed to fend off and push him to hit the wall.

"Truly, I know you guys are everywhere but won't come out if it's not on the fishing line. This got me thinking who the monsters really are" Nick said.

"I thought you weren't an ordinary vampire" said the witch.

"What's your name?"

"Reah"

"Alright Reah, you took care of this woman before. I've covered the wound so there won't be any blood coming out, she's just sleeping and will wake up with no memory of anything. After you put this woman well let's talk" Nick said.

'In-he... as Agler said, what should I do? but.. The woman's life was much more important for the moment' Inner Reah was worried.

"Well, I'll take care of the woman" replied Reah.

He immediately called his comrades, Hans and several witches to come to help. Upon learning that Nick can speak and dress like a normal human being, he soon remembers Shishio's words.

"Reah, let me take this vampire to Shishio's teacher. He needs vampires like him for research" Hans said.

"Alright, but I'll come with you" he replied.

One of Reah's colleagues took the woman to a safe place, then Reah invited Nick to go somewhere. It's Shishio's residence, that's where they'll talk.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

The door was knocked but there was no answer from the house, before Hans had told him he would come with vampires for that he asked Shishio to prepare at his house.

Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok Tok

"I'm coming" Shishio replied from inside.

The door opened, Shishio with disheveled hair and tangled clothes greeted them. His eyes immediately fell on Nick because even without Hans or Reah he could already recognize the vampire from the cold aura he released.

"Sorry, I fell asleep. Please come in" Shishio said.

They go inside, with a glass of Shishio coffee hosting his student, and Nick goes into the other room to have a one-on-one conversation with him.

"Are you their boss?" ask Nick.

"It can be said that, I'm actually their teacher and even so whatever they do I'm in it"

"I understand" replied Nick.

"You want me to give you something? I got a pretty fat rabbit" Shishio said.

"Hahaha it turns out you're a pretty blunt person, there's no need for me to be in a state of not starving" Nick replied.

They chuckled at the joke, making Reah and Hans curious to steal the hearing behind the door.

"Just right away, my arrival here is to ask for the liberation of one territory"

"Can you explain more details?"

"My disciple had some time in a feud with your people, he drank only a little blood to quench his thirst but your people acted as if we were monsters to exterminate"

"I understand, earlier I apologized for representing them. Since the war was over we met some ferocious vampires, there was no other way but to eradicate them. In this age we barely even find vampires like you, which is why my successor behaves that way"

"Well, I can't blame a hundred percent either, but somehow there are still some vampires who hunt without hurting. My students and I are one of them, I just ask to let us live quietly our way because we also do not cause problems"

"I understand, I'll give you a badge. If one day you meet a witch then show me the badge then you're free to hunt, but before that I want you to answer all my questions"

"No problem, tell me what you want to know"

"Do you know the cause of vampires turning violent?"

"Honestly, I don't know, we vampires if we don't have any friends will live for ourselves. We won't care what happens to other vampires or even the kingdom"

"So yeah, what do you think caused them to change?"

"If asked like that I don't know either, but as a vampire when I'm really thirsty sometimes my brain will lose by instinct. In order to quench any thirst I can do as long as I drink blood, you need to know that the thirst for vampires is excruciating"

"So the main cause is such thirst?" shishio asked clarifying.

"After the war some vampires joined the peace following Mr. Reinner although some were also dissident, but after Mr. Reinner died all the vampires lost their masters and lived wandering. For vampires who are used to living with their masters certainly difficult to find food themselves, maybe some of them live life like ancestors"

"What's that like?" shishio asked more curiously.

"This is just a fairy tale but many believe, a long time ago when the vampire Lord still ruled the vampires prey on humans freely. They are primitive vampires with fangs and purplish eyes, their skin shiny and pale as the moon. They will suck human blood to the end because in believing by doing so the human spirit will be trapped in the vampire soul, it is a form of respect for vampires to humans as prey"

"Like humans who slaughter animals for their nutritional needs, then eat them to the end as a form of gratitude" said Shishio simplify Nick's explanation.

"About that"

"All right I understand" Shishio replied.

He immediately issued the badge that had been promised, by handing over the badge then their agreement was official.

"I'm glad to see you, my name is Shishio. I hope that in the future you still want to have a good relationship with me, we'll talk again while enjoying bat soup"

"You like that soup? god, it's been a long time since I've eaten bat soup" Nick asked in shock.

"I don't like it but you, I'll make it if you want to visit again"

"Of course, I'd be happy to stop by again. Oh yes, my name is Nick happy to meet you" replied Nick greeting Shishio's hand happily.

After Nick's return he immediately tells all the Knights not to disturb the vampire who carries the badge, in the letter of agreement written after the war the vampires who lived in peace were under the protection of witches. For this reason the duty of the knights is to keep them and make sure they live peacefully without disturbing each other.
