Roped Fate
Ch.70: Awards

Rion walked straight to the arena. Salute as usual before starting, Rion tried to be more calm and careful so that the first shot of his arrow did not disappoint.

Riko who was watching also felt a little unsettled. Although some of his initial shots were fairly successful, but to be able to compete for second position is still not enough for him.

In the next arrow, the accuracy of Rion's shot began to decline, despite trying hard it seems he was having a little difficulty, besides he also looks quite exhausted.

'I have to calm down .. There are still a few more arrows to be able to seize the second rank position, but for that I must not miss at all.’

Rion took a breath and tried to calm himself down, trying not to be affected by the surroundings. In the hustle and bustle of the audience cheers, he suddenly heard Riko's voice shouting encouraging him.

“Rion! fight ... You can definitely!” riko shouted loudly.

Rion, who heard the scream, smiled and raised his face in relief.

“Of course the wayward sister, I also do not want to lose just like that,” muttered Rion who returned serious expression.

With focus and careful steps, Rion started a better harmonized shot rhythm. Currently the arrows he released could still be stable to hit the target point.

However, when he began to take the last row of arrows he again faltered, as a result the score was getting thinner. On the last arrow he must bet on one perfect shot. If he managed to get a perfect score then the second rank position has been captured, and vice versa if he failed to get a perfect score shot then he will also fail to get second position.

'Alright, this is the last gamble .. Whatever the outcome will be, I must be able to accept it, ' Rion who tries to remain calm.

Riko who witnessed the last struggle of his half-brother also felt stubborn, will Rion be able to complete the challenge?

After taking a deep breath, Rion began to draw his bow with a range. He looks more calm and relaxed, so beautiful twists and turns make the audience amazed, even Riko can see it.

'Very beautiful and perfect, actually the thing I wanted to pursue, which made me envious just by looking at it, but it feels .. I'm still far behind him, what makes him so different that even the most important people can forget me just to see him?' riko thought with a worried feeling.

Before Rion took off her last arrow, Riko once again shouted out loud giving an encouraging cheer to her half-brother.

“Rion! fight ... Whatever the result will be I always support you,” shouted Riko firmly.

Hearing that made him a little more relieved and calm.

“Alright, this is the last.”

As the arrow was about to be released, Riko stared intensely at her brother. In a perfect swipe he saw something was wrong when Rion took off his arrow.

Whorr ....

Rion released his last arrow.

“Aww, shit .. why must now,” umpat Rion while holding his body to stay upright.

When the final result was determined, the audience cheered again. However, unfortunately Rion's last shot failed to achieve a perfect score, because it was still a difference less on Rion's last score that made him fail to achieve second rank in the contest this time.

But at least it still got the third place. Riko simply sighed while staring at Rion.

'Hmm, it seems like he will feel disappointed and sad at this time .. maybe I need to console him for a moment,' the slightly pitying Riko bhatin saw her half-brother taste defeat.

After all the preparations are finished, for the participants ranked 1-3 are welcome to climb the arena, then each of them will receive a very important award from a large organization of exorcists, not only that ... there are still many special gifts that have been prepared by the committee.

Riko felt happy to be able to stand there as a first rank. At the same time, he felt sad for his brother.

The lively applause felt hollow as Riko clearly stared towards Rion.

'Hey, what is this? is it just my feelings or what? she was Rion ... despite always having a calm expression, but somehow it felt like she was suffering so much when I really noticed her, ' Riko thought with a slight feeling of guilt.

Due to too much daydreaming, Riko did not realize that Rion was staring at her.

“Hei Riko .. Why see me like that? what are you thinking?” ask Rion kindly.

“Eh, it's nothing!” sahut Riko who regained consciousness and turned his face.

'Arrghh .. You are so stupid! shy, ' Bhatin Riko who felt annoyed because of his own carelessness.

“Don't worry, I'm fine .. The third position is also not so bad, at least you managed to reach the first one .. It was enough to make me relieved, congratulations on your success, yes,” said Rion with a friendly smile to his brother.

“Thank you, but that's not .. You, are you doing really well? I see you are not as usual,” reply Riko a bit doubtful.

“Not to worry, I was just a little exhausted due to unstable conditions .. only need a short rest, later also normal again,” reply Rion calm.

“Not worried, I was just curious kok .. yasudah, then after this rest a lot, you are a bitch,” said Riko indifferently.

“Um, don't forget you're also exhausted,” replied Rion with a smile.

After the award ceremony was completed, they were all allowed to disperse and come back down from the arena. For the next there are various kinds of entertainment events that are shown as well as with various dishes that have been prepared there.

Riko and Rion get down and walk to where their father is waiting.

“Dad! I made it, yay!” riko shouted excitedly.

“Riko, you are really great .. dad is very proud, also Rion .. You two are both great, two brothers with great achievements, let's celebrate together!” exclaim the father.

“Hore! let's celebrate together, we eat until satisfied,” reply Riko who looks excited.

“I still failed today .. there is nothing to celebrate, you are the only ones who ate tonight .. I am quite tired and will rest here last night, tomorrow morning I'll be back,” interrupted Rion with cold emotions.

“Alright, then you rest first, later we will catch up with you and if you need something just say it, father will prepare all your needs,” reply the father gently.

“Alright, thank you .. I go first, you guys have fun here,” Rion said before leaving to find a space to rest.

Riko and the father began to take some dishes for them to serve together. While talking Riko showed his various skills to the father, because usually he was very rarely able to play with him.

While being engrossed in telling stories, suddenly came someone who interrupted their activities.

“Oi brat!” exclaim the boy to Riko.

“Eh, the rancid whore .. almost forgot where you were, from anywhere? come eat with us!” riko with a pretty good mood.

“Alright, today my brother is tired and decided to rest last night here, therefore me and dad will also stay here, so it is likely that tomorrow I will be a little late,” Riko replied.

“No problem, you rest enough .. ah yes, I have something for you, this is not a big gift but accept!” replied the boy while thrusting something at Riko.

“Woah, little bells! very funny ... I'll keep it well, maybe I need to buy a necklace to hang this thing, yeah very cool .. thank you! I like,” exclaimed Riko who was so excited to play and see every side of the bell.

“Thank God you like it, oiya .. I haven't met your brother, so you just say hello and don't push yourself too much, that's all ... then I go first ya see you,” reply before turning his body.

When the boy was about to start stepping up, Riko shouted back to him.

“Oi brushed, I almost forgot .. by the way what is your name?” riko asked as she waved her hand.

“Chuyan, you may call me that,” he replied in a hurry.

After actually leaving, Riko was back staring at the gift, he was very happy to receive a gift from a friend, he immediately kept the object in his pocket.

Until the event was almost over, Riko began to clean up her luggage before finally going to find a place where Rion rested.

“Daddy, I go rest first .. Dad later follow ya!” pinta Riko while carrying her belongings.

“Alright, you just come to your brother's room .. later the father follows,” reply the father while patting Riko's shoulder.

“Yes dad! but where is Rion's room?” ask Riko plain.

The father took something from his pocket and gave it to Riko.

“This is your brother's room card, you just adjust the room number with this card number,” replied the father while handing the object.

“Good dad, thank you!” riko replied before leaving.

Riko starts looking for the room number her father gave her. It did not take much time he arrived in front of the break room of his half-brother.

'This place is quite close to the hall, it is not difficult to find it, ' Riko bhatin who was about to enter the room.

Without knocking on the door or saying excuse me, Riko also just entered, besides that his room was also not locked so he could enter freely.

Unaware of Riko's previous existence, Rion becomes shocked. Although a little annoyed with Riko's behavior, but he tried to understand her.

“Riko, make it a habit to knock on the door or say excuse me first before you enter the room people,” said Rion in a rather high tone while taking clothes to cover himself who was still half naked.

“Sorry, but Rion you ..” reply Riko who immediately walked quickly to his half-brother.

Riko was a little worried about what he saw, then he tried to make sure he came back.

“Rion, why is your body full of cuts and bruises, what has happened?” riko asked while pulling one of Rion's sleeves.

“Yeah, actually this is my own carelessness because I was not careful to fall while training,” reply awkwardly while trying to convince Riko.

“So you failed today because of a bruise on your arm that was quite severe, why didn't you tell me earlier?” riko's protest is trying to hold back her emotions.

“This is just an ordinary wound, do not let your concentration interfere when the contest takes place just because of thinking of unimportant things like this,” replied Rion calmly.

“But .. anyhow, I can't ignore the wounded, why are you so dishonest with me. If this is the case, how will you deal with your mother, how will you be, what if he punishes you who are injured?” riko's increasingly emotional.

“Let's just relax, I can deal with her ... she is my mother, so already understand what needs to be done to give her an explanation,” Rion replied as she rubbed her sister's head.

“Why are you so cruel to yourself? I really hate that, can't you pay more attention to yourself, just a little to not have to think about others,” said Riko who began to shed tears.

Gently Rion grabbed her sister and hugged her with affection. He was actually still confused, thinking about how to overcome all the problems that exist today, moreover he still thought of the person he wanted to protect. Sometimes he feels like escaping his destiny, but he also thinks if he runs today, maybe one day he will regret when time cannot come back again.

“Do not be sad, if you are weak ... The world will destroy you, they will never give you a chance, therefore be strong to overcome all the problems and injustices in this world, he said,” the ogre of Rion trying to calm Riko down.

“Why say that? where are you going?” rion asked with his raucous voice.

“Not going anywhere, I just want to tell you .. You should be able to be more mature when you don't have someone to rely on, besides I can't always be by your side ... so don't be so whiny, be stronger!” rion pinta.

“I will, obviously I have to be strong, for my mother and all the things that have happened .. I will reply to her one day,” replied Riko who again remembered.

“Good, then don't cry anymore and get some rest,” pinta Rion friendly.

“Let's go, I help treat your wounds first,” replied Riko who immediately got up to take the medicine box and bandage.

With great care Riko also began to help apply the drug for bruises and bruises and then bandaged it with a bandage. Although Riko's skills still can't be said enough, but Rion always understood him and finally came to finish the rest.

After finishing, Rion felt a little strange because the bandage on his arm was too thick and messy. He didn't want to offend his sister, so he just left her like that.

“It's done! although it is still messy but it is perfectly closed, now you can rest in peace, yosh!” riko was quite excited.

“Ah, thanks then you also rest first,” replied Rion gently.

“No, I'm still healthy and it's still not hours of sleep, why should I go to bed early? I haven't even taken a shower yet, you're the only one! the sick one is just you .. I want to take a shower first, good night then and another one was rancid tipped salutations and asked you not to push yourself too much, then, I don't really understand but what he said was true as well, so you don't go anywhere else, you have to heal first,” reply Riko who started chattering before going to the bathroom.

“After meeting that person again .. don't forget to send a message thank you to him, he has helped a lot especially for you,” replied Rion with a calm expression.

“OK!” answer Riko briefly.

Riko immediately continued his activities, as well as Rion who immediately rested to recover his condition.
