Bab 25: Chapter 25: Raven Blue

My sister forced me to make her a katana, but I flatly refused. She even threatened and blackmailed me, but I eventually gave up after she offered me a reward.

Just now, I have finished her anticipated katana and named it Raven Blue, the combination of my sister's hair color and the shade of the blade.

"You're really amazing, Raphael. I can't just believe that you managed to create this sword in less than an hour in real time." She complimented me while I was caressing the hilt of the katana hanging on her waist.

"Yeah. It was my first time extending the time that much. My mana was depleted like hell." I whined.

Walking together along the second-floor hallway, we chatted about the stuff that happened today. Using high-level Magic Spells for hours sucked too much mana, and my mana reserve dropped by almost half. I can gradually recover it using a MP restoration skill.

"I can't wait to show it off to our mothers."

"Eh? Are you really sure about that? It can't even hold a candle compared to their legendary-grade weapons."

"Even so, it's your work that you made with your sweat and blood. Like I said last night, you should have confidence in yourself and be proud of your efforts."

"Thank you, sister."

I am still looking down on myself, even though my sister keeps reminding me to gain confidence. I am just a poor scholarship student who has been surrounded by rich and intelligent people in my past life.

My inferiority complex must have been carried until my death and brought back in my second incarnation. I am a nobleman here, and I have to be competent in front of my future citizens to gain their trust.

"But I am more excited about using my new blade in action."

"Want to try it? We still have time before we dress up."

"Let's do that, Raphael. To the Great Forest of Darkness!"

"Yes, ma'am!. Portal."

I cast the Level 7 Space-Time Magic spell Portal, and a door-sized mirror-like matter appeared in the thin air of the hallway. The scenery behind the portal was the trees in the forest, indicating that the door was connected to the forest.

"Let's go, Sis."

I jump off to the portal, and my sister follows suit. Reaching the other side, the forest, I looked back at the portal, and the hallway of the second floor could be seen from the forest. I deactivated the spell, and the Portal shrank until it disappeared.

Unlike the instant one-way transportation spell Warp, Portal is a two-way transportation spell that lets you transport back and forth between two distant places.

But the accuracy of the destination point depends on the user's memory. I have a photographic memory, so that wasn't a problem for me. Also, the doors in the basement were my transfer point to our mansion.

"This area is good for hunting tough monsters like Drake and Tyrant Lizard. But first, let's try its sharpness on that tree over there." I said as I pointed out a tree that was standing out among the others.

"Did you notice that it's on the brink of becoming a Treant?"

"Yeah. It has a small magic crystal inside, and its bark is darker than usual. Also, the roots are starting to surface."

Treants are born from absorbing too much mana in the air. The absorbed mana will concentrate inside the tree and take the form of a crystal. Treants were common occurrences in this forest due to its thick concentration of mana.

"Let me kill it before it completely transforms into a monster." she said with conviction while sheathing the katana.

"Take your time," I said, and then she walked towards the tree.

She stopped in front of the tree with the katana on her right. She brandished her sword and then swiped it horizontally at great speed. It looks like nothing happened at first, but then the tree trunk tilted and collapsed.

"Wow. It has superb sharpness. I don't use any technique, but I can't feel any resistance at all."

The stumbled tree was cleaved cleanly. Not even a lump on the slice or a crack in the bark could be seen. It is even harder than normal trees due to its monsterization.

"Is that so? How about trying it on the Drake a kilometer ahead?"

"Yeah. Let's do that."

Having my Clairvoyance sent in advance, I open a Portal not far from the Drake. We passed through the Portal and found ourselves several meters away from the sleeping Drake.

"Oh! This one is big and looks tough. Now, be grateful and become my first opponent with my new sword!"

"Hey, calm down. You look more heinous than the Drake itself."

"Hee hee." she smiled ferociously at the Drake as if she had found prey.

The Drake is indeed huge and tougher than any that I have encountered so far. I estimated it to be twenty meters long. I didn't waste time evaluating it.

_____________________

This Drake is huge because it's already at Level 492 and is almost at the level of its evolution. If a Drake reaches Level 500, it will evolve into a S-ranked War Drake.

Drakes are like wingless dragons and have the rank of A in the Adventurers' Guild Monster Tier List. They are quadrupedal and have tough scales that can invalidate half-hearted physical and magical attacks.

"You're too loud that it's going to wake up."

"That's what I want! You would be furious if someone disturb your deep slumber!" She shouted louder to provoke the newly awakened Drake.

Me too. I would have been furious if someone had interrupted my sleep. In the worst case, I might fall into darkness and attack the one who disturbs my sleep. Just like this Drake.

"Grahhhhhh!!"

"Come on!"

The Drake gets up from its sleeping position and cries a loud growl. The sister stepped forward and faced the Drake.

"Let's see what you've got," she said, then charged at the Drake.

The Drake raised one of its front limbs and swung it to my charging sister. With her superior speed, she easily dodges the attack and all of the next attacks.

Claw attacks, tail swipes, and bites. All of the efforts of the Drake were hitting nothing but trees, dirt, and air. The area got messy from those attacks.

Realizing physical attacks wouldn't work, the Drake switched to ranged attacks. It is now rapidly firing Rock Bullets in all directions. Of course, me and my sister effortlessly avoided all of the bullets and the flying debris.

The Drake even used Spikerocks to trap my sister, then fired Rock Bullets at her. But before the bullets touched her, she sliced each of them into two with her katana. After slicing hundreds of bullets, the Drake finally stopped firing.

"Is this all you got? Now my turn."

Sister lunged herself towards the Drake. Her speed was so imperceptible that the Drake didn't realize that its left front limb was missing.

"Gwahhhh!!"

The Drake cried in agony before it collapsed to the ground. But stand back again with bloodshot eyes, glaring at my sister, whose right foot is stepping on something big.

"Is this what you're looking for?"

"Graaahhh!"

The Drake charged at my sister with only three limbs. Despite its large size and an amputated limb, it is still moving fast. Trails of blood were made as it moved.

Sister sheathed her sword back into its scabbard and bent her knees. She closed her eyes and held the hilt of the katana with her right hand. The Drake kept approaching until it reached my sister's attack range.

Swoosh

A sharp sound has occurred in the area, like it's bending the space. Sister slashes her katana from the scabbard at such incredible speed that I barely catch a glimpse of it.

The Drake just passed my standing sister and collapsed to the ground. She sheathed her sword, and a dragon's head dropped from the sky.

"Did you just imitate those moves from the footage?" I asked, approaching the dead Drake.

"Yeah. I just want to try it, but I didn't expect that it could cleave the Drake's neck with this sword. Normally, you have to do a Technique just to penetrate a dragon's defense. This sword not only penetrated its tough defense but was also capable of amputating it."

Sister just imitated the Iai Technique that I'd shown her last night. Even though it was a short clip, she already copied the technique on her first try.

Normally, it takes a party of adventurers with a total level greater than twice that of the monster's to subjugate it. But that's not the case for my sister. She had superior stats than average, high-level forms of attacks and defenses, and high performance equipment in her hands.

"If you are finished now, how about we go back to the mansion after I store the corpse?"

"Yeah. I got smelly and have to take a bath."

"Me too."

I froze the amputated head, limb, and neck of the Drake before throwing it into the Inventory. Drake's raw materials are of high quality and fetch a high price. I opened a Portal connected to the mansion and used it to go back there.


Bab 26: Chapter 26: Sister at Fifteen

We went back to the mansion after my sister tested her new katana on a monster in the forest. The result was great, and my sister's assessment of the sword was excellent.

When we were about to wash ourselves, we crossed paths with our mothers, who were about to go to the bathhouse too. They invited us to take a bath together, which my sister immediately accepted.

They insisted that I join them, which I eventually did. Well, it's been a long time since I witnessed my mothers' and sister's naked bodies with my own eyes, so let's indulge in this opportunity while I can. That time, my body, mind, soul, and homework files were filled with bliss.

"You looked so pretty in that dress, Louise."

"You are now slowly becoming your Mom."

"Thank you, Mom, Mother… But being compared to my gorgeous and beautiful Mom is a bit… "

"Don't be like that, Louise. When your Mom was at your age, you and her were like a splitting image of each other." Mother cheered up sister as she held her waist and pressed each other's chest.

"R-really?" my sister asked while blushing.

"Your Mother is right, Louise. Every time I take a glance at you, it feels like I am looking at my young self. Although you are more proficient with a sword than magic. But I am sure that you will become more beautiful and gorgeous than me."

"M-mom too?!"

"Yes."

Mom, on the other hand, hugged her sister from the back and pressed her chest against her back. My sister turned beet red as she was sandwiched between two soft mountain ranges.

As for me, who is watching this beautiful vista…

(It should have been me, not her!)

I cried internally as I envied my sister. I also wanted to be sandwiched like that.

"Uwah."

"What's wrong, Louise? Your face is red. Do you have a fever?"

"Let me check. Yeah, her forehead is hot."

"Mothers!"

As I cried in my mind, my sister was already on cloud nine and about to pass out. She wrapped her arms around both our mothers' waists and made them face each other.

"Hmm?"

"Oh."

Then she buried her face between the mountain ranges formed by the collision of two massive continental crusts.

"Fufu. We must have induced her so much."

"Your body is irresistible after all."

"Hey! Don't say it in front of our children."

(They are parents and child. They are parents and child. They are parents and child… )

I repeatedly reminded myself as I was clearing my impure thoughts. I am sitting on a couch in our mansion's parlor, watching three women embrace each other.

I am recording this flower garden not only with my own eyes but also with my two Clairvoyance. This skill can cover every angle of this paradise, like on a movie set. Each Clairvoyance is controlled by my Parallel Minds so I can fully witness it with my own eyes and play each angle later.

"Don't just sit there and watch us, Raphael. Join us too."

"Huh? But I'm a man." Mother suddenly told me to join them.

"It's okay, it's okay. We are family."

"Even so… "

"Or do you dislike it?"

"I didn't dislike it at all!"

I stood up from the couch after I shouted my honest reaction. I quickly wrapped my arms around both my mothers' waists and deeply submerged my face in the mountain range opposite my sister.

"Good boy." Mother praised me, gently rubbing my head.

"Bless us, O Lady, for these thy Gifts… "

"Look at what you did. He is in his own world now."

I feel so grateful to be reincarnated in this exact family. I should have visited the church more often and sincerely thanked Goddess Primaria for these blessings on my face.

Knock, knock.

Two knocks rang in my ears, and I heard the creaking sound of an opening door.

"Miladies, it is almost time to… "

It was Mary who opened the door. I did not see her reaction because my face was still buried, but she probably made a shocked expression seeing us hugging.

"Already time? Come on, children. Fix yourselves and get ready."

"Okay, Mother."

"Yes, Mother."

We unbound ourselves from hugging and amended our crumpled garments. We fixed our postures and gestures before we formed a line.

"We are ready now. Let's get started."

"Understood, Milady." Mary responded, then went back outside.

After standing for a while, the double doors that Mary just exited slowly opened. We march onward, starting with our parents on the front and me and my sister at their backs.

"Let's go." Mother said to lead the way.

We are clad in our outfit for this event. Mother in a purple dress, Mom in a deep blue, Sister in pink, and me in a black tuxedo. There are suits in this world like the butler's suit but no tuxedo, so I request to have one customized.

With Chopin's Waltz No. 1 playing in the background, we walked to the Great Hall with elegance while crossing arms with our partners. This is only our entrance, but the crowds are already clamoring and applauding.

"Look at them; they looked still the same the last time I saw them eight years ago."

"Their children even inherited their appearances, especially the daughter."

"I didn't see that kind of clothing before. He looked like a true gentleman. Is that a new design?"

"Isn't that boy the infamous composer of the Moonlight Sonata, The Beautiful Blue Sky Waltz, The Four Seasons, those difficult Etudes, and many more famous pieces?"

"Yeah. Not only in the field of music, but he is also very skilled with magic and the sword like his parents."

The guests in the venue give us praise and compliments. The tuxedo must be new to their eyes, so give it an assessment.

We have many guests tonight. Each of them had a distinct type of outfit based on their tastes. Nobles from neighboring countries and the Empire wore luxurious and gaudy garments. Our parents' acquaintances during their adventuring days just dressed themselves as formal as they could.

This continent's Guildmaster, a former SD-ranked adventurer, is also here. He forcefully clad himself in formal attire. Our parents' relatives are here, and they are in their flashy clothing. And also…

(She's still as beautiful as ev—Oof?!)

I looked around and saw someone that we knew. My sister elbowed my torso, still with our arms locked, as if she knew what I was thinking. I looked at her and saw her smiling, but I knew she was saying, 'Where are you looking at?' inside.

"I am sorry. I got distracted." I apologized silently.

"Good to hear," said my sister, pleased with my response.

After that, Mother and sister gave their speeches, and the party officially started.

◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

The party proceeds without a hitch, and we enjoy the night in peace. The guests had their own things they enjoyed.

Some are interacting with others and introducing their children to socializing; some are eating the desserts before the main course; and some are just idling on their own and watching others do what they like.

I also have things that I like to do. I played the piano and performed my new piano solo, Fur Elise, which I called Fur Louise. There are reasons I called it that way, but I leave them to your imagination.

The orchestra played my freshly baked musical pieces that gathered the attention of music people. Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto No. 1, Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, and the Swan Lake Waltz, which was used for social dancing.

There are events like social dancing where you have the chance to dance with anyone, including my sister and me. I had already danced with several girls and some older women, but I didn't feel a thing for them, except for one. Seeing my family every single day must have something to do with it.

"This night, our débutante, Lady Louise Raevender, will give us an exhibition dance with her younger brother, Lord Raphael Raevender. The accompanying music was composed by the Young Lord himself. Let us witness their amazing duet and enjoy the night."

After the social dancing ends, the emcee just announces our upcoming duet. The waltz dancers gradually move themselves aside to make space for the dancing duo.

"Would you like to dance with me?"

"I like to."

I took my sister's hand and gave her guidance on the dance floor. We posted ourselves and fixed our positions. The orchestra then begins to play the Por Una Cabeza which makes us start our duet.

We move our bodies with precision and accuracy to the music. Our movements are swift and smooth, but they complement each other. Each footwork we make synchronizes with the next and maintains the appropriate gap for each step.

We enjoyed the duet without pressure, just for fun. Even though we are enjoying our dance, we still execute it perfectly. We practiced it for weeks, and we basically memorized every step of the dance.

The music came to an end, and we put an end to our duet with grace. We face the audience and lower our heads, still holding our hands, then give a bow.

The Great Hall burst with claps and cheers in response to our dance. Some are even crying and yelling with their lungs. Mothers just clapped their hands and smiled at us. They have seen our dance many times, so it wasn't new to them.

On this night, the 13th of Gemini, we celebrate my sister's fifteenth birthday. Earlier than that, I extended the time to forge my sister a katana, test her new sword on a monster, and bathe together with our family. So far, this is the most tiring day of my life.
