My eyelids feel heavy, even so I want to open them. I faintly saw a dimly lit orange light.
"Where?"
The black silhouette that was only a few inches different from me was blocking the beam of light. My view is starting to clear. It turns out he was the brother I was with.
I remembered the previous incident.
"Sister is okay" I said. Of course I was immediately anxious considering that big brother was hit by a crushing attack from Boss momon named White forest rabbit.
"Hm" he nodded. I just remembered, usually people who have the same level as their enemies, then the defense and strength are also compared to the same. Moreover, still in the beginning to warrior level, the level around it has a great influence on the power possessed.
"Now, let's go home" he said again right in front of me who was still lying.
I sat with my head still staring down. The question was, I really weighed down on big brother. I feel sorry for following my own ego.
"Anu sis. S-sorry," I said stammeringly.
"No need to apologize, it's my fault" he replied. I don't know why his voice sounded more sorry than mine. His moving right hand holding his left hand seemed to be pressed and trembling.
I turned my face and saw him bite his lip while looking the other way with tears in his eyes. Obviously I was astonished at widening my brown eye bead wide.
"Why is it my brother who feels guilty, not me who burdens my brother. I was the one who forced me to come along. My fault. Just try I didn't come. I'm sure you won't have to attack the rabbit, either" I said with regret, one of my hands holding tightly to the white shirt I wore. My tears that poured out became evidence of my frustration with my own immunity.
The brother held my shoulder. Makes me face up again after earlier I wailed down.
"I said it was my fault" he said. She made me shudder in horror at her serious face as if angry, she looked at me with her red eyes.
"Why brother?" ask me one more time. He made me wonder why he was so insistent that he said it was his fault.
"I shouldn't have let you come to—"
"It wasn't me who forced big brother—"
"No. If I didn't let you, why didn't I just leave you after showing you the way to the village. You know, I was happy when you said you wanted to come with me. Even I was slightly deliberately balancing with the fast motion of your path," he explained with his hand getting tighter holding onto my shoulder.
I nodded a little because I felt pain. The older brother said and heard my little******, immediately thrusting his hand away from me.
"You know, I'm a bad-tempered bearer. Know about scorpion orchids, right? That's my power."
Scorpion orchid? Orchids are said to be the bearers of misfortune. People say that if the person who takes care of the flower will be hit by misfortune and make the family and people who are near the person will be not harmonious.
"It's just a myth, brother. I don't believe in that!" I cried out loud. I subconsciously made the brother smile a little. Honestly, this time I saw him smile when I met him. I feel good about it too.
"If this isn't a myth, then why is my strength even related to bad luck as well, huh?" he said with anxiety as his ignorant hand flicked my forehead.
"But-but brother. My grandfather said the skill of the magic we create is a form of our own thinking and imagination. So it could be that your mind is affected by the myth and the power that you make so much related to the myth right," I said while stroking the forehead that might have been flushed.
The brother was silent for a moment. Soon she walked to my side and sat down sweetly.
"Warm your body for a moment. After that we just went home." The brother rubbed his arms, then faced his hands before the warm fire.
Response, I also sat down and did the same movement as big brother.
"Reynald. Oh yeah, whose sister's name is too!?" I turned back to him.
With a sincere smile, he stroked my head and said, "Mio Orchadiellion, call me Mio."
I was a little surprised to hear that name. There is something like no stranger to the name.
"Uwaaah, so brother Mio of the Orchadiellion family. The only noble family in Orchid village is the leader of my village, right?"
The brother's sharpener looked slightly faded after he looked back at the orange flames. However, to me being amazed was enough to make himself look so radiant in my eyes.
"Yes, that's it."
"Sister this is great. But, brother is not diomelin kah roam at night like this, continue to get to the forests again?"
I asked, but Brother Mio only answered him with a small laugh that was almost inaudible. If it wasn't for his awkward expression of laughter, I might not know if he was asking my question.
"Well, let's go home" he said, then stood up and extended his hand to me. I was happy to take his hand and then we left this forest, not to forget we also turned off the fire that Mio made. One of the woods from the source of the fire was also used as a flashlight torch of view.
Mio's sister also took out one glove, which she said was useful for channeling nature mana into an object she held. Although Mio's word is not very strong in the distribution of mana, but the gloves are very useful in maintaining the flame on our original torch.
There I also noticed Mio's level status. He has risen to the warrior level, and it makes me ask a lot of questions and give him a lot of praise.
Yeah, level 31 at 12 was epic in my view. However, I am also not too surprised, because Mio's brother is a noble. Where a noble had more mana than an ordinary person.
...➕➖✖️➗...
When we arrive near the village of Orchid, just a few steps we will tread the village.
"Sister, tomorrow-tomorrow I can come with Mio's sister," I said excitedly. Our hands that were joined together, had been released. There Mio just smiled with her eyes closed, she did not chimed in what I asked.
But after we stepped on Orchid Village and my gaze was detached from him. Brother Mio, instantly disappeared without my knowledge.
Even I who wander around looking for him, cannot see his whereabouts. That night the cold wind was more piercing than usual.
Early in the morning near dawn, that was my bedtime when I got home. Ask about how I got into the house? Well, surely my parents didn't lock the door, because he was waiting for me too.
I sleep pretty well. Morning passed, and it was noon that I woke up. At that time my feelings were so empty, I was still carried away by the incident last night. Until the moment my hearing was clear, a noise could be heard outside the house.
I came out, and I saw a lot of people outside the house so boisterous. And to my surprise, they were all suddenly unconscious lying on the ground.
Two little girls I saw running, one of them fell down. And one of them continued to run, not mengubriskan what is around him.
In the footing of the little girl who kept running it. The purple orchid flowers that continue to spread throughout this part of the village. At that time, when the flowers are royal lela, all the parts that it grows become dry, brittle, withered, until the color of the village that was originally green turns into a yellow brown color that is typical with the disaster season of drought.
Before long, too, as the girl's figure grew farther and kept shrinking from sight. I became powerless drown, neither could I feel the flow of anything from my body.
And I fell down, everything became so dark. I said it was death, but strangely there was no pain I had experienced as long as I was unconscious.
A faint trembling voice also I heard post-fainting, the voice just said the "sorry" speech so depressed and full of sadness in it. That voice, I know him. He's the brother I met last night. Brother Mio Orchadiallion. The person who caused the village that is famous for its beautiful fragrant orchids, is now famous for the village that died because of its orchids.
