Our Action Brothers
Oases

Kin Raiden was eager to replace Eiji to carry Arnius' body. The red Phoenix had repeatedly asked his young master, but the answer he heard was always the same.

"You know, my sister's never let me get too tired to walk. He always held my body on his back. He even made a wicker basket to keep me comfortable on his back. But sometimes he also makes me always shaken in the basket, because he always runs."

A small smile rattled across Eiji's face, as he recalled their childhood.

"Holding her body right now is nothing compared to what she gave me back then."

The clear thread slightly coagulated at the end of his eyes, as he resumed his words.

"He used to scold me, but it was all for my own good. He was a big brother who loved his sister so much. Little Arnius even dared to risk a piece of his life just to save his sister. Me, Eiji Tamura. A sister who can't even take care of her own brother."

Those tears, they're completely dripping now. Eiji immediately wiped it, then again tightened his hands so that his brother's body did not fall.

All his comrades heard the story told by the handsome young man who walked hand in hand with them.

"Right now it's not just you who feel the affection and protection from it. I consider him my brother, my friend and my parents. What you all mean to me."

Chio said softly as he rubbed his face filled with sweat.

"Come on, until when else do we have to walk. I could lose all my weight if I had to keep going."

Kuma started to complain.

"Don't you see the clear river there?"

Wu Ling smiled slightly as he pointed back at the place they were aiming for.

"Heah... Don't trick me Wu Ling."

Kuma grunted in annoyance.

"Ha... Ha... It wasn't you yourself who said there was a river."

The whole team laughed.

After passing through several large stones, there were some grass and trees growing in that place. Kuma rushed to run to shelter under the tree he saw.

"Let's go deeper, maybe we can find a river to soak in."

Kin Raiden slightly raised his voice, as he walked across Kuma's already sprawled body under the tree. Hearing the word soak, the big bear rushed up and almost ran ahead of all his comrades. Everyone laughed at the big bear.

After quite a long walk down the small forest, they saw a small stream in front of them. It was seen that Kuma's body had soaked in the middle of a river that was not so swift. Kuma continued to pour water all over his body which was not all submerged by water. The river is neither wide nor deep, but the water looks so clear and refreshing.

Zora took out her wooden bed and placed it under a shady tree. Eiji put Arnius' body on the bed, then he began to clean his brother's face and body using a wet cloth. The handsome man also changed Arnius's already dirty clothes.

Chio came with a basket of young coconuts. The young man rushes to peel it off and asks Eiji to drink it, not forgetting he keeps a few more for his unconscious older brother.

Eiji complied with the teen's desire for responsibility. All his colleagues also enjoy the young coconut water to just wet their throats. Even Kuma is not enough to drink just one coconut, the big bear consumes all the remaining coconuts. But Chio kept the two coconuts he would give Arnius.

"Why don't you climb that coconut tree yourself. You only know how to spend it."

Kuma ignores all of Chio's wishes, as the bear knows that they don't have to bother climbing a tree if there is a Yuki among them. The controller of the land can always shake the trees to drop all the fruit.

"Why is there no night in this place?"

Eiji muttered for a moment. His voice was clearly heard by all his colleagues.

"Maybe that's why your sister doesn't know how long she's been away leaving her son and daughter."

Kin Raiden gave a slight response.

"Totally so."

Eiji nodded in understanding.

"So how now, when can we go back to the moon's world."

Kuma spoke up.

"Have your big belly started to get hungry?"

Chio smiled cynically.

I just finished speaking, there was a distinctive sound of his stomach that had been asked to fill.

"We wait until Arnius' body recovers."

Zora checked Arnius' body.

"Your belly makes me wake up a big bear."

Arnius opened his eyes.

"Thank God you're sober."

Eiji rushed over to his older brother's body and helped him to wake up.

"Thank you everyone, I'll recover my energy first."

Arnius closed his eyes again and concentrated on restoring his condition.

Chio and Yuki decide to go back around, hoping to find something to eat. Arnius' body was so weak, they realized that their commander needed food.

Arnius closed his eyes long enough, until they finally opened. Eiji realized that, then he offered a young coconut to his older brother.

"Thank you, have you eaten yet?"

"It has. That's your part, drink it."

Arnius smiled slightly as he downed a young coconut given by Eiji.

"We found no food, only some fruit. Eat, this is all that's left. Kuma ate it all."

Yuki handed some fruit to each of his comrades.

"This is for you, spend it all."

Eiji threw one of the remaining young coconuts to the big bear.

"Thank you."

Kuma's face brightened again. While everyone could only laugh, looking at the behavior of the big bear.

"If you're feeling better, how about we go back now."

Eiji tried to persuade his older brother.

"No, I still haven't found what I'm looking for."

Arnius answered briefly.

"All right, let's go find him. How's that thing shaped?"

"Come, but the demons once said that the pearl stones of hell are all around this place."

"Since we defeated the creatures until we arrived at this place, we have not seen them in this place. It even seems like this place is uninhabited."

Yuki who had been observing the environment around the place continued to speak.

"How did you find this place?"

Arnius said again.

"I detected a place around here and it's just this place that's a little shady. While the other place is so hot."

Kin Raiden paused for a moment and went back to concentrating to inspect the entire place around him.

"I think this place is an oasis."

Eiji tried to guess.

"I think you're right, because this place isn't so big."

Kin Raiden opened his eyes again.
