Three Mafia Girls
Barmy

"where's your ethics…!" said the woman called 'brother' by him violently fussing at his ears.

"oh, big brother! sick.." said 'the leader of the cavalry' whimpering in pain but did not dare to try to fight him.

Until the downhill drizzle that soaks this man's cheeks he made.

"does it hurt?" ask this woman to release the ear jewels while looking at the condition of her sister's ears that look reddened.

This soft-looking hand turns out to be able to injure the body part of a mighty person with just one movement.

Like when picking up her sister, this woman hit hard with the hand that hurt her.

"don't brother!" said the 'riding squad leader' who tried to stop him.

His words were futile and ignored by this woman until the young man standing behind her spoke.

"Miss Tianyi.." This one soft sentence managed to stop the violence perpetrated by oneself.

He who had originally been silent and stood behind her while enjoying the beauty of the two brothers who met after a year apart, now stood between the two to calm them down.

"how many times do I have to remind you..hmm?" the second sentence spoken so softly can soften the rough woman in front of him.

The ends of the two eyebrows met facing toward the forehead with a guilty face staring at the man beside it.

"Tu, mrs Qian.." groaned the girl like a princess who whined at her father for not obeying her will.

It turned out that the gentle-looking man with long hair that had decomposed wet was Aqira who had been staying at the Shen residence for a year.

He grabbed Tianyi's hand as he turned towards the 'leader of the cavalry', "and you, Shen Tian, should I remind you too…?" he continued to signal to him.

Shen Tian swiftly saluted the elder brother and Aqira who were standing in front of him.

"Shen Tian met with the teacher and elder brother." said this young man by bowing his body politely.

Aqira and Shen Tianyi did the same to her.

"Qian/Tianyi met with General Shen." said the two together while saluting.

PROK PROK

A handclap appeared from the right side of Tianyi standing where it was on the left side of Shen Tian and in the opposite direction of Aqira.

A simple-dressed man with his gallant body walked over to them.

The three stood side by side while bowing in respect.

"Qian/Tianyi/Tian met Mr. Shen/great grandfather." said the three together.

This man fused his hands together with a slight bow, "welcome back everything…"

Why did old man say that? well it was because of their first meeting after splitting up to head towards their destination.

Shen Tian had just returned from the border to guard the migration of the neighboring country affected by Jilixu's war with the South.

Shen Tianyi had just returned from the war against Mo Chen's western kingdom and returned peacefully to end it.

Meanwhile Aqira had just returned after settling in the mountains half a year ago to teach the disciples of the sect he had founded half a year ago.

"i'm Shen Zu, welcoming the three of you." said the man spread his arms and was greeted by the three with a warm embrace.

"ugh. I can't breathe." said Grandpa Shen who pinched them due to a hug that was too tight.

They released that hug while instantly confirming Grandfather Shen's condition.

"daddy's asthma recur?" shen Tian recalled that before he left for the border Grandpa Shen had just recovered from his asthma that had struck him suddenly due to the extreme weather changes.

"probably because I hugged him too tightly." said Shen Tianyi who blamed himself.

Because in this inverted country, the most respected Shen family was on par with the royal family. And Shen Tianyi was a descendant of the Shen family who possessed the most combat power where a single blow of his hand could break even an iron spear.

"uhuhuhuhuhuh-uhuk you see sir, are you sure you will leave me to them both…?" said Grandpa Shen who complained to Aqira.

His words resuscitated the worries of Shen Tian and Shen Tianyi. The implied meaning of the short words made these two children look seriously at Aqira.

"teacher, you want to go?" shen Tian said asking Aqira carefully.

Both the past and present Aqira remained the same as her straightforward and casual tone when answering the question.

"there's a task waiting.I can't possibly delay it." Aqira replied with a faint smile.

Shen Tian was like a child rushing to hug Aqira tightly like he was reluctant to let go.

The gentle hand one year ago that was not even able to hold Aqira's dagger had now frozen her in this tight embrace.

"teacher, can't it be much longer?" shen Tian said asking again to restrain Aqira from leaving.

Shen Tianyi lightly touched Aqira's arm with the same reluctant gaze as Shen Tian.

Aqira turned her head towards Shen Tianyi along with her hand that lightly patted Shen Tian's back.

Slowly the forehead that stuck to Aqira's shoulders lifted while distancing itself from her was like sulking.

Aqira's spontaneous reflexes instantly pulled Shen Tian's hand away, "listen to me…"

"if you leave, you won't see me again." he continued.

After that Shen Tian returned quietly to his place and undoed his intention of leaving by clasping Aqira's hand back.

"i have a request, are you going to fulfill it…?" he added with a confident look to Shen Tian.

The sight of Shen Tian who was originally about to cry instantly changed into a serious expression when he heard the stern word from his teacher.

"let's just say teacher.." said Shen Tian turning into a serious fashion.

Aqira pulled him inside the residence by being followed by Shen Tianyi and Grandpa Shen behind him.

A roll of paper lay on the table in the room.

Shen Tian's grip was removed as he picked up the scroll, "this is take it.." handed the scroll to Shen Tian.

After changing hands to Shen Tian, Aqira picked up the package of clothes next to the paper scroll earlier.

Meanwhile Shen Tian's eyes read in sequence from top to bottom so as not to miss a single detail recorded on the paper scroll.

"i hope you can do my last job." said Aqira who was wearing a face veil and a pack of clothes carried on her shoulders.

Shen Tian closed the scroll as he bowed in salute to Aqira one last time before they parted ways.

"i make sure I won't disappoint the teacher." he said firmly.

Shen Tian's shoulder was lightly struck by Aqira as he bailed to Grandpa Shen and Shen Tianyi.

"may we meet again." Shen Tianyi said in the embrace.

As Aqira bid farewell to Grandpa Shen while a soldier came carrying a paper scroll for Shen Tianyi.

"peace banquet party?" muttered Shen Tianyi reading the letter.

His feet that were about to step out of the Shen residence paused for a moment, "that's for sure." his inner voice that answered the words in a hug with Tianyi earlier.
