Chapter 64 – Wild Change (7)-Modification
“I’ll go in.”
Starchis knocked once or twice before entering the base of the Ade Party.
All the Aid party members were sitting inside.
Everyone greeted Starchis with their own greetings.
The party’s tank and vanguard Boyle raises his hand.
“I’m here?!”
“Hello, Boyle.”
Spearman Fioren also waved a finger.
“Hello Starchis.”
“Nuna, hello.. Huh?”
And next to Fioren was Russ.
“Starches!”
She ran and stood in front of Stachis.
“Russ…? Why are you here?”
Starchis was happy to see Russ, but confused.
I wonder if there was a friendship between Russ and the ade party.
“I called to explain that, Starchis.”
His older brother, Stion, appeared and said.
“Come on, find a seat and sit down.”
When Stion looked at her, Seira went to get something to drink.
.
.
.
.
Starchis sat comfortably in any seat.
Stion sat across from him and Russ sat next to Starchis.
Stion looked at Russ.
Like why are you sitting there.
There were plenty of seats, even if they weren’t next to him.
Russ shook his head and pretended not to know.
In the background, the other Aide party members smiled heartily.
“So bro. Why is Russ here?”
“It’s urgent, Starchis. Speak slowly What about your hands?”
Stion asks about his condition before the conversation.
“Is your rehabilitation going well?”
“Brother! Right. I can feel mana Wait a moment..”
Stachis excitedly explained what happened today.
“Okay?”
“Really, Chis?”
Stern smiled, and Russ was happy as if it were his own.
“Really. Wait a minute. See if you can still feel it.”
Starchis closed his eyes and pursed his lips.
‘Cute..’
Russ looks at him and thinks.
Starchis tries to feel the mana crawling through his body.
Even after Lily’s body fell, she could feel it for a long time.
I don’t care now, so I didn’t know what it would be like.
And soon, I felt that sensation again.
Even without Lily, I could feel it now.
His actions with Lily, who was a bit shy, paid the price.
“I can still feel it. I really don’t think there’s much left.”
Starchis opened his eyes and delivered the good news.
“Take it slow. After rehabilitation, you will have to work hard to get used to it. Wouldn’t it be easy to fight while constantly supplying mana to your hands?”
“You have to try. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to move anyway?”
“That’s right.”
“Brother, so why is Russ here?”
“Well. I mean that.”
Stion pointed her hand at Rubida Russ.
“Hey, we’ll be following you for a while.”
Stachis looked at his brother, then at his finger, then at the person it was pointing to.
“… Russ?”
“Yes.”
“What are you following?”
Stachis expected what Stion was saying, but he asked to confirm.
Starchis’ expression hardened little by little.
“Is there more to gathering activities?”
“Why? No, more than that, it’s a class A party. It’s dangerous, so how can I follow you?”
“He came and said he wanted to.”
Starchis frowned and asked Russ.
“Really?”
“…Really. Chis, are you mad? Your expression is scary.”
“No, I’m not angry… It’s too dangerous.”
Starchis was dumbfounded.
I couldn’t believe that his brother would allow this.
“Brother, why did you allow this? You’re the one who said life is important.”
“… Younger brother, older brother-“
“-No. I can’t allow it.”
Stachis frowned and looked at Stion coldly.
It was a part that expressed how angry he was because he was Starchis, who doesn’t easily make this kind of expression.
Especially when the opponent is his older brother.
“It’s too dangerous. We will grow according to our own flow. Change too drastic is poison.”
“When change is necessary, change must be made.”
“Brother! That standard is for me, the leader, to judge! Why did I hesitate to take on the B-level challenge for a long time!”
“Calm down, Starchis. So I called you to talk.”
Stion patted Stachis on his forearm.
“Quench your excitement.”
The cold Stion cooled Starchis, who was getting hotter.
His patting may also have played a part.
Russ couldn’t lift her head.
It had been a long time since Starchis was so angry.
She was moved by him who was so angry because she worried about herself, but
I wondered if I had touched his nerves for nothing.
“…Whoa… Who brought this up first?”
Startled, Russ shakes her body.
She said in her crawling voice.
It was a sound I wouldn’t have heard if I wasn’t sitting right next to it.
“…I.”
“Why.”
No matter how much he calmed down his excitement, Stachis’ voice stood sharp.
“…I don’t think it’s helpful to the party.”
“Who said that?”
“…I.”
After a deep sigh, Stachis turned her slightly toward Russ.
Unlike when dealing with his older brother, his voice had softened a little.
“… Is it because of me?”
“…”
“It’s entirely my fault that I got hurt. There was nothing you could do in that situation.”
“…”
“We just need to grow up slowly, Russ..! Don’t you know you can get hurt if you’re impatient?”
But Russ couldn’t help but feel impatient.
I was starting to feel ashamed to be next to Stachis.
I wanted to hide in his mouse hole when he thanked me and stood up for me.
She hoped that she could improve her skills and make his dreams come true.
…And selfishly, I wanted you to look back on yourself through it.
I wanted to let him know that there is always a person next to me who will dedicate himself to Stachis before I get closer to Elsaine.
The current work is just a paving stone for it.
For him, it was a simple matter to risk one’s life and enter a dangerous place to improve his skills.
Didn’t Stachis also sacrifice his life for himself?
Eye for an eye. This was just a response.
Russ got her heart.
“..Chis. Yes, no… Isn’t our dream a class A party?”
“..What?”
“It’s something you have to do someday anyway. I’ll build up the experience first.”
“Russ..!”
“There is no opportunity like this. When will I have a chance to complete the quest while being protected by an A-rank party?”
Russ carefully grabbed the back of Stachis’ hand.
“…Thank you for your concern. But I don’t want to lose you again Think about it too, if I were down like you, would you have stayed still?”
“…”
“…Is not it? ..I am the same.”
“Hey… Young-eup!”
Boyle tried to help with a word from behind, but Fioren covered his mouth.
“…But that’s not okay. I don’t know if we’re a B-class party and before we challenge A-class. It’s not even a B-class party right now, but it’s too fast to follow A-class quests.”
“…It’s only a matter of time before we get promoted to a B-class party. Isn’t it enough just to go through the paperwork?”
“Russ, even so, does it make sense for someone who has just risen to Class B to try for Class A? The difference between Class B and Class A is bigger than the difference between Class C and Class B..!”
“… Do we look that weak?”
Stion intervenes.
It was an innocent question.
“The focus keeps on Russ, and I don’t care who Russ is.”
Stion speaks confidently.
“It’s okay even if you can’t do anything with vulgar language. You know that one of our party’s main missions is rescue missions, right? Do you think it will be a problem to bring the injured children?”
Stion makes a promise to Starchis who is in trouble.
“Starchis, your party members. I will always bring you safely. Don’t worry.”
I told Russ to survive on her own, but she wasn’t honest.
Just because I hate it doesn’t mean I want to die.
Anyway, he is Starchis’ best friend for 6 years.
She also makes her Starches safe if she gains a lot of experience with her.
As long as she decided to take her, she planned to teach her properly.
Boyle, who ripped off Fioren’s hand, exclaimed.
“Young, young! I was like you guys 10 years ago- Ugh!”
Looking back, Fioren was punching Boyle in the stomach.
Before I knew it, Seira came over and handed her tea to Stachis.
“Starchis, don’t ignore your brother. It’s still an A-level party.”
It was something I heard once.
Starchis felt that Seira’s words moved her heart.
As a last resort, he sets a condition.
“…Then, the swordsman monkeys we met this time. I’ll allow them once they’re evaluated as being A-class monsters.”
“Cheese..! Even if it’s not that, I-“
“-It can’t be that way. If it was a B-class monster, I would never allow it, so I know that. This talk is over. What is your brother like, what is it, no.”
Starches nailed it.
In this important decision, he is unwavering.
Russ realized that no more could persuade him.
He just nodded her head.
Stion followed his decision.
“Okay. Let’s do it.”
“Then is the conversation over?”
Disturbed, Starchis wanted to go back quickly.
He gets up on his knees
“Ah, Starchis. Come back here tomorrow.”
Russ’ chest jumped once.
Can I see him tomorrow?
It is an unexpected harvest.
If it’s tomorrow… I think I’ll be able to relieve his anger.
“Tomorrow? When.”
“About dinner? Come a little earlier.”
Besides, it’s called dinner time.
Maybe we could have dinner with him, Russ thinks.
“..But why?”
“Oh, didn’t you tell me? Rose…”
Upon hearing Rose’s name, Stachis’ eyes widen.
After observing Russ, he secretly pulled her head back and shook her head vigorously behind her head.
Stion looked sideways at Starchis.
-‘L! L! Elsaine!!’
I ask you not to say Rose’s name out loud.
Stion also glanced at Russ and corrected her words.
I received the letter and understood the situation to some extent.
“..I have to go see the Elzain family.”
The blood drained from Russ and her face.
He let out a big sigh and chewed on Stion’s words while feeling relieved.
‘Ro…Why did Lady Rose…?’
I thought I wouldn’t see you for a while…
I remember the moment when I was called a bitch.
