Chapter 27: Relationship Between Brother
In his thought Hans becomes sleepy and close his eyes fall into slumber, time goes by and most of the member of both guilds were still waiting for their leader to finished with their meeting with the government's envoy.
"We get at least 22 monster card during last night's battle, 8 white, 6 blue, 5 green and 3 purple grade card. Most of them were Commander Tier monster with some Captain Tier one and the body of the monster that both guild kill last night consisted of 120 Commander Tier monster, 80 Captain Tier monster and the rest is Soldier Tier monster."In the tent, Samantha presents the result of their battle last night to both guild leader, the only people inside were Hendrick, Felix, Eva, Samantha and Ryouma that come as a government representative.
"We will discussing the splitting of the spoil of battle later first we will talk about the dungeon," Hendrick told her to sit down in the chair beside him and turn toward Ryouma. "So what does the government think about the dungeon?"
Knowing his habit Ryouma know that Hendrick will focus on business when it was business time and personal when it was the personal time, He opened his mouth and said. "The government agree with the guild's plan on making the dungeon as business spot as long as the guild pay tax to the government from the business that you do."After finished speaking, he becomes silent and lowered his gaze.
"Hmm, Speak what's in your mind. I can see that you were holding on something right?" The previously silent Felix said.
Knowing that he can't hide it anymore he opened his mouth and said ."The government had something that needs help with and I was tasked to ask for the help of the two guilds since you were here."
"So the problem is in this forest right?" Said Hendrick, his eyes become serious since he had known that something wrong is happening in the forest right now. A high tiered monster roaming the outskirt area and they fighting continuously with each other is so weird.
"Yes, this problem happened because of the fight for supremacy by the two Lord tier monster in this forest. Their underlings had started to fight since some times ago and it results in many casualties of a hunter that come here to hunt monster in the forest. The government will surely pay both guilds handsomely after taking care of the matter in this forest, the military will also help if needed." Ryouma bowed at both of the guild leader showing how the government treats the matter seriously, most of the time government would send the military to neutralize any danger that can harm humanity but now they asked the guild for help.
Hearing his answer Hendrick calmly asked, "Did the government want us to secretly take care of it?" As someone with much experience, he had gone through many events through his life and he knows that the forest is near the human civilization not only that it was one of the most favorite places to hunt in the surrounding area. The presence of the two Lord Tier is enough to make the situation become chaotic if the news spread to the civilian, let alone the monsters were able to gather subordinate the civilian will surely become panic hearing the news.
"Yes, we hope it can be done secretly by both guild to prevent a wave of panic." Not hiding anything Ryouma politely said.
"The Dragon's Roar guild agree to take this request."
"The Eternal Rain guild also agree with the request."
With the two guild leader of both guild finally accepting the request that was given by the government, Ryouma let out a sigh of relief, "Boss, Thank you for cooperating with us." He smiled at his ex-boss remixing his past when he still follows him around.
Slapping his back, Hendrick merrily said."Hahaha, Don't say it like that. You are already a family for us, how can we not accept it if you were the one that asked. Let's forget about work and speak about how is your day in the military?"
The tent becomes lively with laugh and joy that comes from them, Samantha and Eva leave the tent and told their other member about the plan to kill the 2 Lord Tier monster ruling the forest.
...
Opening his eyes after a long sleep, the sun stung his eyes with its light that shine from it blinding him for a moment. He raises up and sits cross-legged on the ground, moving his eyes he sees that many members of the guild were preparing to head out outside of the campsite.
"They are going to scout the core area of the forest." From behind him, a familiar voice resounded, the voice is calm and cool. Turning his head Hans see that it was Ryouma who said it, he was
still wearing his black suit.
"Yo, brother Ryouma. How's your grandpa?" Hans greets him.
"He is fine after someone awakened their soul card it hard for them to get sick after all. I heard that you were already awakened your soul card, congratulation you little brat." He reaches out his hand and patted his head, Hans had grown up while treating Ryouma like his big brother and so did he. Even though they weren't blood-related their relationship is even stronger than even people that blood-related, related by blood does not mean that someone will close with each other after all.
"I do not kid anymore." Hans smiled but still brush off his hand, he is already an adult in this world.
"Fine...Fine, here is a gift for you." He reaches out from his pocket a card, it not a normal card but a skill card just like his [Fleeting Wind] that he gets from the quest. The [Fleeting Wind] car was green colored but the card in his hand was white-colored instead.
Hans put a poker face and said."What's that card in your hand?" Hiding the fact that he had known about the skill card.
"This is skill card, unlike monster card it will give the user skill that able to help the user to do many things like protecting themselves, boosting their monster power or even give them supernatural power."He explained the uniqueness of the skill card to him in great detail.
The skill card is even rarer to drop from the monster from the research only monster in Noble Tier and above an drop a skill card, even though so the drop rate is even lower than a monster card. Not many people know about the existence of skill card in this world currently, the government had put a lot of effort in gathering skill card to strengthen the power of the military forces.
"You should use it, after all, it will boost your strength, isn't it. I can't take it since it was too valuable for me." Hans declined his offer to give him that skill card, he knows that even in the military there is still competition among themselves.
"It's a skill called [Light Barrier] that can form a light elemental shield to protect you, you don't need to worry about me and just use it." Saying that he left the place before Hans even say something.
"Brother..."Hans smiled while gazing at his departing back then he looks at the skill card in his hand, he smiled not because he receives a free skill card instead because of Ryouma's care at him that make him felt warm just like with his parents.
'One day I will repay you just wait for it.' In his heart, Hans silently swore to return the favor he gives to him.
