Roped Fate
Ch.71: Back Home

After completing her bathing activities, Riko immediately returned to where Rion was resting.

“Yosh! finally done too, hey Rion have you slept?” riko asked as she walked leisurely to Rion's bed.

“Eh, Riko ... emm, I was asleep but heard you scream and asked me to wake up again, ” replied Rion who began to rise from his sleep.

“Hee ... You shouldn't have to answer me, huft ... uh, by the way you're sleeping why aren't you wearing your clothes yet? unethical once hmm,” said Riko while shaking his head.

“It is not so, usually I always wear it .. but now, this bandage is too thick and irregular .. surely it will be uncomfortable to wear outdoor clothes, but now, this bandage is too thick, so until tomorrow I leave it like this,” reply Rion a bit awkward.

“Oh, it's my fault .. hmm, you've continued your sleep, if you want to eat or need something just say, I'll rest there while waiting for father to return,” said Riko while moving to the sofa next to him.

“Alright, if you are sleepy and father has not returned, you can immediately sleep here ... if the business is done he may return at midnight,” Rion replied.

“I will wait until father returns, I still want to play with him .. You just sleep first,” replied Riko quite excitedly.

“Once, it's up to you .. but don't fall asleep there yeah, later you can sneak to the floor,” Rion said before pulling back the blanket.

“Tcih! no need to tell me,” reply Riko indifferently.

The next morning, Riko wakes up in a roomy bed. Then began to look around while rubbing his eyes.

“Riko, are you awake? shower first there, after that we have breakfast together before leaving home,” said Rion who was standing while cleaning their belongings.

“Eh, why can I sleep here? where's dad?” ask Riko to be confused.

“Maybe there's some business, don't worry .. Last night you fell asleep, maybe dad moved you here, so let's hurry! you get ready first, then we go to the front hall, there are your uncles and cousins .. yesterday they watched the game but haven't had time to see you, so today they will wait in front for breakfast together,” explained Rion with a faint smile.

“Oh, alright ... Then I take a shower first, you go first!” riko answered who rushed straight to the bathroom.

“Umm.”

After finishing packing his belongings, Rion opened the door to breathe the morning air. However, at the same time he was shocked by the arrival of someone.

“You ... Tian isn't?” ask Rion curiously.

“Iya sis, I Tian salam know ya .. oiya, sis Riko is here?” tanya Tian was friendly.

“Iya, greetings also .. I am Rion, and yahh currently Riko is taking a bath, let's wait in front only .. I have told him earlier,” replied Rion gently.

“Good brother Rion, let's go ahead first! while waiting for Riko's brother, we chat together,” reply Tian excited.

“Okay then, let's go!” rion answered quite enthusiastically.

Finally they immediately rushed to the front room to meet the uncle.

****

On the way, Tian felt that there was still something stuck in his mind. He always wanted to ask about Riko who was always cold and indifferent.

“Hei brother Rion, what do you think of Riko's daily life? I see she doesn't really get along with other people, is she that cute?” tanya Tian was curious.

Rion frowned slightly, he himself was also quite curious as to why Tian could ask that.

“Well, actually Riko is not as cute or cold as you can see, maybe with people she does not know she is a little indifferent, but if you already know someone well, he's really a chatty kid and a lot of whims, ahahaha .. he's always been like that, by the way why are you asking that?” ask Rion again.

“Yes, I was just curious...why is Riko's sister so indifferent to me, when I never disturbed or hurt her, but it is very difficult to be able to blend in with her,” Tian explained with her sour face.

“Ahahaha, you often play with him .. he will surely get used to it and respond to you,” replied Rion with a friendly smile on his face.

“So yeah, means I should always bother him to have him pay more attention to me, so?” tian asked to be sure again.

“Ya, more or less like that,” reply Rion awkwardly.

It was silent for a moment before Tian began to ask another question.

“Hmm, when at home is Riko's sister always lonely? considering Uncle Sen is always busy, even last night I saw he was still busy with his business to the point of not having time to take care of or meet Riko's sister, it was kind of pity to see him like that, he said,” said Tian rather sad.

“Indeed, he was always lonely even though his days were only filled with practice, of course he must have also felt saturated with his monotonous life, but want how else ... he also still can not accept me and mother to be part of his family, therefore he is quite a grudge for our existence, even so I know in fact he is a good son, well ... sometimes he can also be considerate when I'm in trouble,” explained Rion gently.

“So apparently, what a pity ..the only person he trusts the most is not always there to accompany him, if that is so ..It is better that Riko's brother stay in our house only, but he will not be there, brother Rion also let rame,” proposed Tian who looks excited.

“It is not that easy, each of us certainly has its own life mission and to achieve that of course there is no word to relax every day,” replied Rion with a smile elegance.

“Hmm, so troublesome ... indeed happy brother lives like that?” ask Tian again.

“Of course not, but I'm even more unhappy if I don't do everything well, the world will destroy you if you show your weak side,” replied Rion gently.

“Then I will also help yosh! from now on we work together to help and support each other, so Riko's brother and sister do not need any more trouble,” said Tian eagerly.

Smiling Rion then rubbed Tian's head gently.

“Alright, and one more thing .. please don't tell Riko that her father didn't come back last night,” Rion's pinta.

“Ready!” exclaimed Tian obediently.

After quite a long walk, the two of them finally reached the front hall, then joined at one of the tables where his relatives had gathered.

“Good morning son Rion, please sit down first ... Tian too,” greeted the uncle kindly.

“Good uncle .. thank you,” replied Rion while taking his seat.

“How was your morning, is it better? yesterday aunt saw you so exhausted,” asked aunt attentively.

“It is better, soon just waiting for father and Riko, we will be back home soon,” replied Rion relaxed.

“Ah so, by the way aunt has not seen Riko this morning ... is she still asleep?” ask aunt again.

“He is getting ready, maybe he will be here soon, I told him earlier,” Rion replied briefly.

“Alright, we will wait for him to join later,” said aunt who is quite excited waiting for Riko to join.

“By the way your father hasn't come back as well, I see he's so busy .. is there a sudden mission from the organization?” ask the uncle who was curious.

“Don't know, he didn't tell me anything... Just asked me to look after Riko, of course I didn't tell Riko, he would be disappointed if he found out,” is clear Rion who is also worried about the busyness of his parents.

“Yes already, then you two often play to our house, Tian will also be happy with the presence of the two of you,” take his uncle warmly.

“Thank you for your invitation, maybe next time if there is free time we will visit family uncle,” replied Rion kindly.

In the midst of their conversation, suddenly Riko appeared while running to them there.

“Yo! morning everyone .. sorry a little late, there was a little business,” greet Riko while carrying her bag and equipment.

“Please sit down Riko,” said aunt while smiling kindly.

“Ah thank you aunty,” reply Riko briefly.

The aunt then poured tea and served some snacks for Riko and the others.

“Nak Riko, after this are you any other events?” ask her aunt gently.

“I was just waiting for Dad to come home soon to be able to train as soon as possible,” replied Riko with a little ambitious.

“Do not push yourself too much, you also need to rest!” exclaim the uncle.

“Iya brother Riko, occasionally stop by and play to our house .. I also want to play with brother Riko and brother Rion,” continued Tian who was quite excited and hope Riko agreed.

“Sorry, but I don't intend to play .. I'm not a boy like you,” Riko replied with a spicy sentence.

Rion immediately patted the eel, his half-sister really did not know the ethics and manners. He was a little worried that it would hurt Tian's feelings.

Riko just frowned a little confused seeing the reaction of the others suddenly silent, in his heart he just thought maybe Tian would cry because of his answer earlier.

Tian had looked at Riko for a moment then pursed his mouth while grumbling.

“Well if you don't want to play with me ..” Tian said with an incomplete sentence.

Without waiting for a long pause Tian also took Riko's bag, then took out all its contents which then trampled on Riko's valuables in front of him.

“I'll destroy all your toys so you can't play alone anymore, huhah!” tian continued with fiery emotions.

“Oi .. You really have gone crazy huh! how dare to trample my precious things, just watch out for you yes!” riko's snapping was getting annoyed.

Because he was already upset, Riko also took a ruler to attack Tian, but not as easy as he imagined. Tian was agile enough and full of energy to dodge Riko's attack.

“Hey you guys, early in the morning it's been a storm like this .. shy to see people,” leerai uncle.

However, even so they both still did not heed the direction of the uncle.

“Huft, the two of them really... If this is how I will be troubled to take care of them in the future,” muttered Rion who was a little upset while sighing.

The two of them just kept running around here and there was no one willing to budge at all. Tian who ran quickly towards Rion then jumped towards him.

“Sister Rion! save me ...,” whining Tian while tightly hugging his cousin.

“Hey done, you better stop and continue the breakfast, do not waste time and energy .. today there is still a trip again, so just save the commotion today for another day,” firmly Rion while trying to descend Tian who was snaring his neck firmly.

“I do not want to go down, want to be carried by brother Rion first,” said Tian who suddenly became spoiled.

“Oi, move aside you little devil! stay away from Rion he is not your brother or anyone .. stop spoiling like that, no match at all!” riko snapped while trying to pull Tian away from Rion.

Long enough to wrestle, Tian finally let go of Rion and back away. Quite relieved Rion was finally able to stand up straight again.

Riko who still did not accept then ran to hug her brother.

“You don't dare to come near again, watch out for you later!” yelled Riko declared a war of rivalry against his cousin sister.

Rion who saw the overprotective behavior of her sister just smiled while shaking her head.

“Already, do not think too much .. yesterday's wound did not have a big effect on my current activities, so do not worry about it,” said Rion while rubbing his sister's head.

“Can't be so, an archer shouldn't have any wounds on their body, because it will be like a deformity that no one else sees, stop quibbling again, I also want to protect you,” reply Riko with a little carried away.

Actually, Rion was a little surprised by his sister's statement, because usually he was very difficult to accept the existence of his brother. However, he knew that Riko was like that. Although always being disrespectful, but in his heart is a good person just because of his hatred he closed his heart to destroy his emotions and morals at this time.

'No need to worry, I'm quite relieved this time .. at least he doesn't hate me that much, ' Bhatin Rion calmed down.

After the dispute ended, they resumed breakfast that had been delayed earlier.

Shortly while they were relaxing, the father arrived there and called his two sons to take off.

With a radiant face Riko ran to see his father, while Rion who was still silent only smiled with relief, at the same time, Tian came to Rion in a pretty good mood.

“Sister Rion! it turns out that sister's advice really works .. Riko's brother will pay more attention to me if I disturb him hehe,” Tian said with a feeling of pride.

“Iya anyway, but not that also the concept .. he could have hated you if you had gone too far,” reply Rion who was quite berserk with his cousin's sister.

“Don't worry, I've started to understand the situation .. so just leave the matter to me,” Tian said confidently.

“Alright then I go first, see you next time and thank you for breakfast that has been served aunt and uncle,” reply Rion before finally leaving the place.

Because there are no more activities to be completed there, they are ready to leave immediately.

Tian and his parents also took him to the front gate.

After their car drove and left the place, Tian and his family also started to leave and return to the contest building.

While Riko on his way quite excitedly staring at the car window, the green and cool scenery keeps his mood awake, then he tries to ask the father about their destination after this.

“Daddy, will we go straight home after this?” ask Riko curiously.

“Yes, but before that we will pick up Diana's mother first to SANGU exorcist resources,” replied the father gently.

“Oh, can't he go home alone? should adults be more independent,” said Riko ketus.

“Now we are a family so should not be too counting, do not worry will not be long anyway, the road is still in the same direction,” explained the father who tried to advise Riko.

“Huh, okelah .. it's up to the father that matters not to linger anymore,” reply Riko with his chuckle.

After their little debate ended, the car sped to its destination quickly. However, even after the debate Rion simply stared quietly out, even though the bright morning looked fine, his expression did not show happy emotions. He looked a little agitated, but also cold.

Seeing that Riko just scrunched his eyebrows and ignored him. He just wants to go home and finish his tasks so he can practice soon.
