Best Brother

Chapter 7

"hehe, you're really smart brother-"

"Don't act cute in front of me now, I haven't accepted your sorry yet." I was disgusted by my brother's words.

"Why not? You love me brother, don't you? Go ahead if you don't accept my sorry, I will avoid you the whole day." My threat, manipulative lil sister yarn?

I saw him smile, like I said his scary smile while putting both his hands behind his back.

"Are you threatening me little sister? Hmm?” I backed away and avoided looking at him. "I will have Lady Nyphele to deal with-

"Wait! Brother, that was just a joke, yes, I'm really sorry. Just don't tell Nyphe what I said" I said in confusion while holding her shoulder.

"Just go inside, I want an explanation." When brother opened the door of the tent, I saw Nyphe, Prince Lyford, Princess Lamia and some dude.

They looked at me at the same time but of course my eyes were on Prince Lyf, I waved at him but he didn't give much of a reaction like before.

Who's that? He seems gentle? Has red hair and gives off the innocent boy vibes in a book. He's like the second male lead who didn't end up with the female lead.

“Lady Dethyria, are you okay? I heard you're injured?” Princess Lamia immediately stood up and approached me. I just smiled at her.

"Don't worry I'm fine, how about you? Sorry if I didn't take care of the body. I kind of saw something.” I apologize to him.

He shook his head and smiled back at me. "It's okay Lady Dethyria, I should have stayed behind. Because I left, y-you're injured now.”

I would like to pat her head because we are the same height, it would look weird if I pat a princess' head. So instead I patted her shoulders.

Princess Lamia is really kind, a cutie concerned citizen! Unlike his brother who has no emotions and manners.

"I gathered you all here today to explain what you saw in the underground cave." Brother's introduction.

So we all focused on him. Of course, we sat down on a large sofa and Nyphe and Princess Lamia were now next to me.

Prince Lyford and a man who looked innocent were standing. I raised my hand to ask something, my brother nodded.

"What do you mean about that? We are the only ones who discovered something strange in the cave?” he nodded as a response.

"We asked Headmaster Ares if they discovered something new, but none of the students said they did. Except you." He answered.

I shrugged, maybe I'm really destined to discover things. So we started to explain accordingly.

Mostly only me and Lamia spoke, I said everything that happened from the start. Of course, I didn't include the details about Lyf and me.

What is it just for the two of us? No one else should know, hmf.

"Hmmm, it's weird indeed. According to Headmaster Ares no other race actually entered the cave..." said brother.

I wondered, then why? Where is that from? "We're already researching the cave right now, especially the hole where you fell." He added.

We both turned around because suddenly someone entered, it was headmaster Ares. "Oh you're here, good timing." He said while waving a bunch of papers.

"We discovered something new in the hole, the hole is a trap for species." Headmaster Ares explained while handing the papers he was holding to his brother.

Brother read it right away. "the hole is surrounded by magic, ancient magic actually. It prevents species to fly, so you are affected." -Headmaster Ares.

"Fly? Corrupted species can't fly, right? Didn’t they just… crawl and stick on walls?” Princess Lamia asked.

"Yes, but the species we saw there was different. They weren't ordinary ones, they can fly." We were both surprised by headmaster Ares' explanation.

"So, the hole is..." Nyphe didn't finish what she had to say because she interrupted.

"Yes, a trap for those flying corrupted species." We all fell silent, never in our lives have we seen a flying corrupted species.

Is that why they are so big? If they manage to get out of that cave, maybe we'll be gone forever, right?

"Looks like there's more level of corrupted species that hasn't been discovered yet." -Brother announced.

"Don't worry, according to our research. Those corrupted species with wings are just the same as the normal ones. And the only difference is that they can fly." -Headmaster Ares…

"So, it's still easy to kill them?" Nyphe asked and Headmaster Ares nodded.

"But be careful, there might be other undiscovered corrupted species with dangerous abilities." -Headmaster Ares.

"Let's be thankful that none of you were hurt, Prince Lyford." My brother said. Headmaster Ares collected the papers again and said goodbye to leave.

"I still need to observe what we have just discovered. Besides, I will report it to higher ups." Headmaster Ares said before leaving.

"Brother I have a question, what ancient magic is Headmaster Ares talking about?" I've been wanting to ask him that since Headmaster Ares is still talking.

"It's some forbidden magic that no one is allowed to use." I stopped, OHOO~ INTERESTING- “Don't try, Thryia. You can get executed as a punishment.”

I scoffed and rolled my eyes, all beautiful things are forbidden with punishment. I wonder where I can find some ancient magic spells.

"next is an undiscovered space, Lord Fallon." Lord Fallon? Familiar?

"Hello I'm Fallon Greece, a demonic guard for both the prince and princess." Introducing this to us, so this red haire innocent looking guy is named Fallond

"I discovered a weird place from an underground cave while I was hunting." He explained. "It has a ruined abandoned village." Terrible Cook

"I was hunting alone because my angel partner was scared, so I went to explore the underground cave." He continued.

"I saw houses made of cave wall materials and it's already long abandoned." - Fallon.

Big brother nodded. “Do you remember the way?” big brother asked Lord Fallon.

"yes.." Lord Fallon replied to his brother. Big brother nodded again.

"What are you going to do brother?" I asked. "Are you going to study that place? Can I come-“

“No Lady Dethyria. Call me headmaster, we won't just move around. We have to ask the higher ups." He understood what I was saying.

I frowned. Higher ups again, higher ups will always be asked. Non members are cowards.

Higher ups consist of both angels and demons, there are 8 higher up officials in total. Four angels and four demons.

Mom and dad were supposed to be there but they died so my aunt and uncle replaced them. It's just that they are the ones at the top who give orders and decide what to do.

I know the other members.

And I'm not interested too. "For now, let's focus on the activity of angels and demons. All of you may rest now.”

My brother added, just as they were all about to stand up, I raised my hand again. "Lady Dethyria, this topic is already closed."

"I'll just ask who won the competition." As far as I remember I only killed a few... I probably lost.

Hey, I can pay a lot of money for Nyphe and her cat again. "A pair of second years won."

My brother's answer stopped me, does that mean no one won between us and Nyphe? So my brother sent us out of his big tent.

Together with the three demons, Princess Lamia, Prince Lyf and Lord Fallon. "Lady Dethyria and Lady Nyphele will go first."

We nodded together, Fallon bowed. Of course Prince Lyf left first, I couldn't help but get used to it.

"I'm hungry." Nyphe suddenly answered. My eyes lit up and I grabbed his shoulder with determination.

"I will cook for you-" he immediately put his hand on my mouth and gave me a bad look.

"No, absolutely not, I'm really tired of looking for you and you still want to kill me in your cooking? No, I'll cook." He cut it off.

I made a face while rolling my eyes, "I'm good at cooking huh? Why are you saying my cooking can kill someone? No one has ever died in my cooking." I said annoyed.

"You forgot when we were first year? You cooked to celebrate our classmate's birthday. Everyone got admitted to the holy sanctuary.” He reminded me.

Ah yes, by the way, I forgot that many people were admitted because of my cooking. Nyphe and I were the only ones who were not admitted there because we ate.

The holy sanctuary is a place where you heal wounds and injuries. I was scoffed. "Is it my fault that their taste buds are weak?"

"No, you're just bad at cooking. Don't cook forever again." I just shrugged, I noticed that there were a lot of tents outside the cave, I also noticed some demon professors.

Nyphe and I returned to school together to rest in the dorm. Nyphe said my wing is fine.

My wing is always injured during our hunts so I'm used to it. There was a time when my wing was broken.

But it was fine, my brother summoned a royal healer just to fix my wing. He said if my wing breaks again he won't help me..Gosh if I knew he would still help me because he loves his little sister so much. When we entered the dorm, Nyphe and I's bed was a super mess.

"Fix our bed, I wasn't able to fix it earlier because we were in a hurry." Nyohe ordered me, I snorted. "I'm gonna cook right now."

"Why should we waste time just to fix the bed? It's going to be a mess later." I complained while rolling on my bed.

Nyphe raised her eyebrows at me, she was holding an apron and a spoon. "Why are you complaining? Then why should I cook and feed you if you're just going to die someday?"

He said to me annoyed. I sat up and smirked at him, "Point made, but you're being harsh with me, Nyphe. It's like you don't love me."

"Who says I like you? Fix the bed, I might still hit you with my hand." So I followed madam's order.

Future

"Nyphe! Since no one has won us, does that mean-“

"What no winner? I still have the most kills so please spare me and my cat food." My eyes widened as I hugged him “I said I won the whole competition! Not the-“ he squeezed my cheek so I let go of the pain.

"That's not what you said, it's okay. We are close to the main ground, you lost your composure yesterday with other people.” Nyphe said to me.

I held my cheek. "Well Prince Lyf already knows my true personality, so why bother acting? After all, Princess Lamia has no use for my personality."

We looked together because suddenly someone shouted, what's wrong? They were in front of the concrete wall. Huh? Will the wall be torn down?

Bonus about Lyf's paper being burned by Deth

Lord Fallon: What happened to your assignments? You lost them?

Prince Lyf: …

Princess Lamia: I told you not to bring something like that every hunt, elder brother.

Lord Fallon: According to the Prince, it's better to answer assignments when hunting.

Prince Lyf: …

Why didn't you inform me that the concrete wall will be demolished now?!" I said confusedly to Nyphe. She rolled her eyes as a response. "I couldn't just miss this beautiful event!?"

I immediately pulled Nyphe, although I'm a little slower because of the dress and school shoes. We managed to get there in time.

It's not just us 4th years here, other years as well. The holy guards don't scold us.

"Sorry I forgot to tell you yesterday, the concrete wall between will be opened today." Nyphe explained, I just raised an eyebrow at her.

"A little late for the announcement but thank you." Nyphe gave me trouble as a response. Of course, when we got close to it, I fixed myself.

I saw a lot of students and they greeted Nyphe and me. Nyphe just nodded while I smiled and waved at her.

Of course I also saw my spoiled cousin, we looked at each other. Even against my will, I waved at him.

As a response, he just tortured me, even though many people were looking at us. Good, at least it's gonna start some rumors about her hating me somehow.

While we were waiting for the holy guards who prepared a force to demolish the concrete wall, we saw my elder brother who was obviously sleepless.

You can see his eyebags and his tired face. He's also handsome of course. "He stayed up all night writing reports about the cave."

Nyphe suddenly said so I immediately gave her a suspicious look. "How did you know that? Don't tell me you sneaked in my brother's room- OMG!”

I didn't finish what I was going to say because he hit me. "C-common sense! Of course that's what happened, why would you sneak in your brothers office?!?"

"That's it!? OK?! I understand, don't fight back! You can explain it to me without hitting me.” You whisper annoyed with him. She rolled her eyes and looked away.

I can see the redness of his ears. Maybe he's getting hot? Whatever, I just focused on what was happening in front of us.

I saw my brother's nod and the guards started breaking the wall. My eyes lit up When the wall went down, we saw the demons on the other side of the wall. Also watching the demolition of the wall.

Everyone was fascinated of course. Of course my eyes swept to the demon school, just as expected. It's really beautiful!

“Lady Dethyria! Hey!” I heard a greeting on the other side, I immediately looked for the familiar voice and saw Princess Lamia.

I smiled at her and waved happily. Of course, the attention is on me, especially the demons.

"Everyone, start lining up." Big brother announced loudly and we immediately followed, as long as big brother gave orders We all better listen, maybe he will use his blessing again and we won't be able to move for a few more hours.

It's still tiring, especially if there's an itch on your body part. I noticed that Headmaster Ares was also on the other side.

Headmaster Ares walks to our side and says something to Headmaster Dasher. Brother just nodded and nodded to what Headmaster Ares was saying.

I saw the change in his face but eventually he sighed and nodded. I wondered what they were talking about.
