The Journey of the Genius Failed
7. New family.

End Flashback.

Redes, who is currently in Derent's room, told him all about what happened on the mission that was run before. But he did not tell about the treasure left by Jiose and Dessy to Hofei who is Derent Meiyan village. The reason is, although Hofei is loyal to the village, but he has a selfish nature, so if Redes tells and explains it, it will be difficult to make Hofei understand.

"That's it, alright I understand." Hofei said after listening to Redes' explanation.

Then Redes asked about the fate of the two sons Jiose and Dessy.

"Then, what about them?." Redes asked as he pointed at Rouzen who was holding Heiren.

Hofei looked at Rouzen and Heiren, then he approved of them to stay in the village.

"Well, I received them in Meiyan village. But the cost of his life, I won't be able to be of much help." Hofei speaking.

"Well, I get it. Let me take care of it."

"Okay, it's your pay." Hofei while giving Redes money completed the mission. And Hofei also did the same to Redes' partner.

Then Redes and the others came out of Derent's room, and went to their respective destinations.

On the way, Redes walks along with Rouzen and Heiren.

"Have you heard my explanation?." Redes asked Rouzen.

"Yes, I heard it." Rouzen with a face that was still sad.

Redes who saw that couldn't do much.

"I met your parents only 2 times, and the last time, you should have known?."

"Hm." Rouzen nodded.

"Although, your parents had helped us, at that time if your parents had not helped us, we might have fallen on that mission. Therefore, I want to return their favor, one of which is to take care of and train you. Do you want to be an Aryan?."

"Yes, I want to become an Aryan, and continue the dream of Father and Mother."

"So yeah, well then I'll sign you up for the academy."

"Thank you."

Hearing that, Redes only smiled in admiration. Because even though Rouzen was a child and was sad, he could still thank others.

"Are you hungry?." Redes asked.

"No." Rouzen.

But after that.

"Cruk..." Rouzen's stomach rang.

Hearing that, Redes could only hold back his laughter.

"Pfft. So, you want to eat out or at home?."

"I want to eat at home." Rouzen with a embarrassed face.

"All right."

Then they continued their journey towards the Redes house.

Arriving there, Redes opened the door.

"I'm home." Redes.

After that, came an adult woman like a 28-year-old woman who welcomed the arrival of Redes.

"Welcome, is the mission going well?." The woman smiled towards Redes.

"Yes, everything went well." Redes.

Then the woman looked at Rouzen who was holding Heiren and was curious about the little boy that the Redes had brought.

"That's it, thank goodness. But who's the kid?." The woman while pointing towards Rouzen and Heiren.

Then Redes pulled the woman's hand into a corner of the room a little far from Rouzen and Heiren, and then Redes explained everything there.

Redes tells the story of the little boy he brought, starting with their name. Then Redes told him about how he could bring the little boy, who was actually carrying the little boy because of a debt of gratitude to his parents who helped him.

Hearing Redes' explanation, the woman became sorry for Rouzen and Heiren, so she immediately approached the brothers.

"Include me my name is Quener, wife of the Redes. I'm sorry, if I've been disrespectful before." Quener greeted Rouzen and Heiren kindly.

"Yes it's okay. And introduce me too, I'm Rouzen and this is my brother Heiren." Rouzen while pointing at Heiren who was being carried by him.

"Oh, it's good to meet you." Quener smiled.

"Yes, nice to meet you too."

Not long after that, the Redes stopped their conversation.

"Ehm.hm.ehm." Redes pretends to cough.

Then Quener remembered that Redes had said that the boy was hungry.

"Oh yeah, I forgot." Quener immediately went to the kitchen, and cooked the food.

Then Redes invited Rouzen to sit down.

"When do you stand? come here, and sit down." Redes with a smile.

"Thank you." Rouzen walked towards the seat.

"By the way, how old are you guys?." Redes asked.

Although Redes predicted their age, he was still curious about the truth.

"I'm 10 years old, and my sister is 5 months old."

"Oh so yeah, well I understand."

Not long after, Quener finally finished preparing the food he cooked.

"Thank you." Rouzen speaking.

Then they took their food rations.

"I'm sorry if you don't like it very much, because only the ingredients to make vegetables are available in our house, so I only make vegetables to eat." Quener spoke to Rouzen.

"It's okay, I'm so grateful for this." Rouzen.

Then Quener looked at Heiren.

"Eh, how old is your sister?." Quener asked.

"Oh, he's only 5 months old."

Hearing that Quener pity him a little, because at that age, of course he still needs ASI, until finally Quener was trying to give ASI to Heiren.

"Redes?." Quener looked at Redes, asking for Redes' approval.

Redes who knew the meaning of Quener immediately agreed with a nod.

Then Quener looked towards Rouzen and Heiren.

"Your name is Rouzen, right? and your brother's Heiren?." Quener asked.

"Rubber."

"Do you know if your sister still needs ASI?."

Hearing that, Rouzen became a slightly sad expression from remembering his mother.

"Yes, because before, usually Heiren was given ASI by mother, but the last few days, I only gave him sweet tea to replace ASI."

Hearing Rouzen's explanation, Redes and Quener became very sorry for the sisters.

"Do you mind if I give ASI to your sister?." Quener made an offer..

"Is it okay?."

"Yes, it's okay." Quener while expressing her sorrow.

Seeing Quener's expression, Rouzen became curious and wanted to ask, but suddenly Redes explained.

"Actually we just got married 2 years ago. Not long after our marriage, Quener got pregnant, and after 9 months, Quener finally gave birth to a son. Yet we still do not seem destined to raise a son, for not long after his birth, our son soon died of an abnormality." Redes is a little sad.

Rouzen who heard that simply fell silent and lowered his head.

Then Redes continued.

"Maybe you don't know, if a woman can produce breast MILK when she has been pregnant. Therefore, Quener can make you an offer like this."

"That's it, but is it really okay?." Rouzen still lowered his head.

Then Quener answered.

"As long as you don't mind, I won't mind either."

Then Rouzen stood up and bowed in honor of Redes and Quener.

"Thank you, we'll definitely get back at it someday." Rouzen shed tears.

Seeing Rouzen's attitude, Redes and Quener also let out tears.

"Because like this, now you can consider us as your family, as well as us who will consider you as our family." Redes while shedding tears.

"Thank you." Rouzen thanked me.

After that, Quener carried Heiren and brought him to the room to be given ASI. As for Rouzen, he continued eating, along with Redes.

Finished eating, Redes wanted to give the relics of Jiose and Dessy to Rouzen.

"Rouzen, I actually got the storage bag your parents left behind, but I didn't tell Derent. Do you want to keep it?." Redes asked while taking out 2 storage bags.

"What's in it?."

"I haven't checked it yet, because it's not my right to check it. Would you allow it, if I helped check it?."

"Yes, of course."

Then Redes checked the 2 storage bags, until it was found that there were 2000 pieces of gold, some weapons, drugs and others.

"In this there are 2000 pieces of gold, some weapons, medicines, and others." Redes tells Rouzen.

Hearing that, Rouzen thought for a moment. Later then.

"In that case, uncle is the one who is looking after him, because I still can't manage it. Can I?."

Hearing that, Redes was slightly surprised.

"Eh, why?."

"Yes, I'm a kid now, so I still can't manage it well. Especially for weapons and medicine, I still don't have the ability. So I asked my uncle to take care of him, and if it was time, I would ask for weapons or drugs if I needed them."

"so yeah. Then what about 2000 pieces of gold?."

"Oh that, you just use it for everyday life such as food supplies, especially for the cost of me and Heiren."

"Eh, but this is mostly a loh."

2000 Gold pieces are quite a treasure, because for a mission run by the bendra level alone, it can only produce 100 gold pieces at most.

"It's okay, if I need it, I'll take it. But for now, I still don't need too much anyway, so uncle used to keep it. And also, just think of it as the cost of my current residence living with you."

"All right, I get it."

Although Rouzen said that, but Redes would actually do the same thing as now to Rouzen, because Redes himself still had a debt of gratitude to his parents Rouzen and Heiren.

But since Rouzen had already said that, Redes would try to help guard the treasure from the brothers.
