Roped Fate
Ch.68: Last Day of Exercise

The next day, Rion's condition had begun to improve, although it had not fully healed but he was able to move as usual.

Because he was busy accompanying Rion yesterday, Riko also missed her training time for a day. Actually he was not so concerned about training, only what makes him worried is about his training friends.

Usually Riko always comes to practice in the middle of the forest with his new friend who is always there waiting. However, because there was a sudden obstacle yesterday, he had not had time to give news before. Riko thought maybe his friend would wait until he was there all day.

'Arghhh ..cran! he must have been upset that I didn't tell him about yesterday, I had to go there immediately, ' Riko who was walking quickly to his usual training ground.

Riko was quite curious if his new friend would come back to the place after he himself did not come yesterday and did not give news.

Quite hastily walked quickly to the training ground, from a distance Riko saw someone who was familiar was practicing alone there.

'Heh ... What is that prankster doing there? are you practicing? by himself? hmm, ' Bhatin Riko is a little confused.

Finally after observing for a long time from a distance, Riko immediately came to see him. The child also realized the existence of Riko who was walking towards where he was standing now.

“Oi wayward boy! come also you ...,” he shouted while waving his hand.

“Yo! I'll start training again, sorry for yesterday for not telling you, I had a sudden hitch so no time, you must have been waiting for me all day .. hmm, what a pity, so sorry,” said Riko with annoying intonation as usual.

“Yeah, I expected ... People like you will not be able to escape from toxic mouth, but just calm down .. I already know and not to wait for you really, really, after all I have always been to this place to train, so there is no wasted time,” replied the child casually.

“Oh, by the way are you really an exorcist? surprisingly ... a rancid boy like you is really talented at your age now, how so envious yes .. hmm,” said Riko quite excited.

“Yes, I told you before right, I am indeed a great exorcist you know ..” replied with a rather arrogant intonation.

“Once, now I believe that you are indeed an exorcist .. By the way can you teach me to fight? I also want to become a great exorcist in order to exterminate all the evil demons in this world!” riko is full of ambition.

“Of course! you can practice with me here .. but before that you finish your archery practice and win the contest, after that I will definitely teach you how to fight, after all you already have the basic skills to use your own weapon, so I'm sure you will master it quickly,” the boy replied confidently.

“Alright, I will definitely try and train even harder so that one day I can become the greatest exorcist in the world!” riko exclaimed with a stern expression on her face.

“Yosh, I also promise to help you to achieve your goals and ambitions, you can depend on me ... after all you also have a very unique spiritual energy and will probably be much needed in the exorcist world, so I'm sure that one day you will definitely become a respected person in the exorcist society, he said,” answer with confidence.

“Hmm, is it possible ... can I practice well?” ask Riko in her doubt.

“Not to worry, there I will help you, besides I still have two friends who are no less great, at this time they are busy so can not participate in training ... maybe next time I'll take them too, don't worry they're both so good!” add the child with a radiant face.

The boy showed such an excited expression when discussing his friends, that it made Riko feel strange when she saw someone so expressionless that she thought it was like a fool.

“Hmm... It seems like they are very important to you, to the point that you can put on such a disgusting expression,” Riko sneered.

“Damn it, can you not need to add poison to each of your words, annoying once ...,” reply wryly.

“Hahaha .. I don't think so, this is a blessing from birth so it can't be removed just like that,” said Riko plain.

“Blessing shucks! it's a disgrace his name is dongo!” reply spicy.

“Heeh, time anyway? who told you?” ask Riko again.

Riko's answer is always successful in making others feel annoyed and anxious to punish him.

“Whose son is this little devil, I sackin you just take it to the sea, huft ... never mind, we should continue training just so as not to waste a lot of time, huft,” said the boy while sighing.

“OK!”

Enough with their debate, finally the training began. Riko was quite excited as usual, her accuracy was also increasing. Since the contest was only one day away, he made sure to train seriously today.

“Hey, cut rancid! this is my last day to train, tomorrow is a very stressful day to take first place in the contest .. emm, by the way can you come to the contest event tomorrow? well ... to just watch,” asked Riko who was a little hopeful.

“Alright, take it easy .. I myself am also curious about your appearance and also the person you want to beat it,” reply calmly while staring at Riko.

“Good then, my training all this time .. I will not let it be in vain, I must be able to!” riko shouted firmly.

After that they continued the exercise until the day before afternoon.

Some time has passed, the clock has shown at 15:00, finally they both decided to rest for a while under a shady tree while chatting.

“Huft, it was exhausting but also fun .. having a friend turned out not so bad well,” muttered Riko while lying on the green grass under the tree.

“It is true, as long as they can you believe .. but if not, it is better not to have any friends at all than many friends but fake, they just charge your mind, you remain lonely ...,” reply the child with a relaxed intonation.

“Ah is right too ... then what does it mean that I trust you?” riko asked a little doubt.

“Of course, it depends on your own point of view, whether you can trust me or not. But if you ask me, of course I can be trusted ... because I will never leave my friends as long as they do not betray me,” he explained while looking up at the sky.

“Hmm, okelah .. whatever it is,” Riko replied briefly.

Long enough to lie in that place, they began to feel something strange there.

“Hey, somehow my feelings are a bit restless huh? even the clear sky was gripping, roughly what was going on?” riko asked with a feeling of unease.

“Then what about you?” ask Riko again.

“Do not worry, after my business is done .. I will also go home, now you go home alone, you also have memorized the way home right, so immediately go home!” he stood up and stood up straight.

“Alright, then I'll be home before afternoon .. see you tomorrow yes!” exclaim Riko with a slightly doubtful move.

“OK, see you tomorrow,” the answer is short.

Riko immediately left with a little hasty step, on his way he had stopped and was like hearing the sound of leaves screeching. However, as he watched her back it turned out that there was nothing strange nearby at the moment, just that his feelings had become a little unsettled, so he immediately accelerated back in his footsteps.

Arriving at the edge of the forest, Riko felt a little more relieved. However, he still had to continue his journey back home.

'I should still have enough time before the schedule is set, but somehow I can't calm down thinking that, arghhh!’ bhatin Riko is restless.

Riko continued to think about various unimportant things in her head, because her feelings were not calm at this time, she ran as fast as she could along the road.

A few minutes passed, and he was almost at his destination. Then he ran to the park where he and Rion would normally gather before going home together.

“Hah ... hah .. hah, finally arrived too, huft ... roughly Rion is still practicing at this time?” muttered Riko curiously.

Because he did not see Rion in the front garden, he finally decided to look for him in the middle area.

Long enough circled around in that place, but he still had not discovered the whereabouts of his half-brother.

'Hey! what the hell is this ... why isn't Rion here, then the training gear isn't there either... where did the guy go?’

In Riko's heart continued to wonder, what other games his brother was doing.

On the other hand, Riko's training companion seemed to be still wandering around in the middle of the forest, he stood with a cold expression around the bright red puddles, the leaves seemed to fall out and wither filled with black, black color, similarly, the grass that was previously green became dusty black, not only that .. the air that should be clean, now dark dense and foggy.

He walked normally as usual before leaving the place.

Riko who was still waiting for Rion was getting annoyed, he waited for almost half an hour but there was no sign of his appearance.

'It's starting late afternoon, it's not usually Rion like this ... has something happened with him?’ bhatin Riko kept wondering.

Although he hated his brother, but he also sometimes worried about him ... Rion has always been kind to her, so she herself doesn't want anything bad to happen to her.

Because of thinking too much, Riko immediately got up from her seat and went to shout her half-brother's name.

“Rion! Rion! .. Where are you now? why so long? quickly answer me, oii ... Riooonnnn!” riko shouted loudly.

Because there was no answer at all, Riko became more panicked, he ran to and fro by shouting the name 'Rion'.

It's been a long time looking, but he hasn't found a clue at all. Because of fear and disappointment, he finally cried while sitting on the edge of the park.

Shortly afterwards there was a voice of someone who was calling his name as well as waking him from his current heartache.

“Riko? what's going on, why are you crying?”

Then Riko regained her senses and raised her head to see who was the person before her at the moment.

“You! you fucking jerk ... From anywhere I've been looking everywhere for you, but I can't find you anywhere, you fuck!” riko shouted trying to hold back her emotions.

“I'm sorry, actually today I didn't take training because I got a special assignment from mom, I thought I would pick you up again here if it was on time, but who would have thought you came home early .. sorry Riko, I was late to pick you up,” Rion's holiday is soft.

“Whispering! I don't care about your excuses, you're so annoying,” replied Riko in a stifled voice.

Riko was actually quite relieved, but she was also annoyed. So that an unreasonable feeling made him unable to hold back his crying anymore.

Seeing that, it made Rion feel a little guilty. He also tried to calm his sister who was very chatty, by rubbing his head while apologizing, then Rion hugged him sincerely.

Moments after feeling calmer, Riko was back to act and challenge Rion.

“Huh ... just watch out for you! I'll reply tomorrow, just look! wait for my revenge,” screeched Riko while pointing at Rion.

After declaring the challenge, Riko immediately went ahead of Rion. While Rion only smiled weakly looking at the behavior of his half-brother.
