A few moments later, in the middle of our conversation there was a group of 4 people who started teasing Big Sister Wave.
"Hello, miss, would you like to have a drink with us," one of them asked.
Their appearance was quite disturbing, it seemed like they were hunters who stopped to collect money at a guild by taking quests or requests. That is, Big Sister Wave seemed to not notice them and continued to ignore them while talking to us.
They kept trying to get her attention until they got annoyed because they were ignored, "Miss, I know you noticed us. Now can you answer us, beautiful lady, will you drink with us? If not you will know the risk," said one of the hunters.
They walked behind me and Lunette and pointed their guns at us. Big Sister Wave who initially didn't care immediately stared at them with very sharp eyes. No good, Big Sister Wave is someone who is very protective towards us, I think they will all be in danger. On the other hand, Lunette just continued eating as if nothing happened.
Big Sister Wave said in a scary tone, "Take your guns away from my little brothers or you will pay for it."
Big Sister Wave who usually looked kind now looked very scary, as if he would beat them all up easily.
"Beautiful lady, I don't think you understand the situation you are in. We are the ones asking," he said while pointing his gun at her.
However, before the gun was pointed, Big Sister Wave immediately stood up and twisted his hand quickly like a professional. The 3 hunters were also shocked after seeing his actions.
"How dare you! I won't forgive you," he shouted at her loudly.
He tried to attack Big Sister Wave in anger, but she easily dodged his attacks quickly because of her light body by doing a backspin. I still don't understand, what kind of job does she do that she can fight like a professional?
Suddenly, Big Sister Wave clasped her hands and muttered something, "Etheria Style Martial Art technique: Asteroid Smash."
She grabs the hunter's arm then spins him around using her weight before she swings the hunter to her top then slams him into the floor very hard. She looked like a pro martial artist at this point.
Etheria fighting style is a fighting technique that our father taught her then passed on to us. But I don't know if she's really good at it, maybe she hides it from us since she's hiding her job from us. The technique contains various techniques, such as sword techniques, martial arts techniques, polearm techniques, and shooting techniques. I didn't expect Big Sister Wave to be so skilled in fighting, she never said what her job was and only taught us what our father taught her.
What she just used is one of the techniques in Etheria Style. Asteroid Smash is a martial art technique where you use empty hands to lock the enemy until they can't move then slam them using your weight onto the ground very hard to crush their body. It's such a simple technique, but needs good accuracy, perfect timing, and good reflexes. BAM! The voice echoed in the room, and some of the people let out a soft "ouch" sound from their mouth as if they were able to feel the hunter's pain.
I saw her jumping here and there while avoiding all attacks from her opponent. She seemed to be playing around with the person because she didn't attack him at all. Her movements were very agile and there were no wasted movements. Even so, her opponent still tried to attack her. Crash! Crash! Many tables were broken by their fight and she included everyone in the room into their fight. The tables are flying and broken as well as the chairs, the plates and the cutlery flying everywhere in the room. The room becomes chaotic.
Big Sister Wave began to lecture us while avoiding her opponent, "Listen, Luna and Lunette. So when you fight an idiot like this, you have to stay calm because their attacks are very monotonous and they are completely inexperienced."
The hunter who was her opponent became even more annoyed when he heard Big Sister Wave easily avoid his attacks while giving us advice. Honestly, I was confused about how she could do that. She just continues to avoid all of the attack effortlessly, stepping right and left like a feather.
Big Sister Wave continued, "So the way you fight this guy is to know his attack pattern. If your opponent attacks carelessly like a wild animal, you just step back a little and…"
She stepped back a little and kicked the guy quite hard in his stomach, sending him flying back until he hit the wall. The table that was in the way was messed up and chairs flew. It looked painful, as usual she did not hesitate in doing something.
The guy then immediately got up with a slight cough and said, "DAMN YOU!"
Then he ran towards her and prepared to attack him. Big Sister Wave was there smiling as if waiting for him to come. She immediately deflected it with the sword that she had then parried the attacks without any difficulty.
"Etheria style sword technique: Star Cross," she said and attacked the hunter.
She slashed the hunter by forming a plus sign like a star with her sword. The attack she did was fast, as if she had fought many times before and ended in the blink of an eye. Indeed, it was one of the sword techniques that required speed and a high level of accuracy in the Etheria Sword Style.
Star Cross is one of the sword techniques in Etheria Style that needs a really high speed and high reflexes to execute the enemy in a single blink. She ready her sword beside her face while locking the enemy then dodges the attack from the hunter. After that, she slashes the hunter two times, making a star mark on the hunter's body. Shing! Shing! Everything just finished in a blink.
The attack looked beautiful, but at the same time it looked scary because it was difficult to avoid. The hunter fell unconscious after Big Sister Wave re-sheathed his sword from his hand.
She looked at me and then Lunette and said, "How was my lesson? Did you understand?"
She stuck out her tongue mischievously. Her face was so cute when she put on a mischievous face like that. Maybe Lunette's troublesome nature came from her nature. Somehow, it feels like Big Sister Wave is Lunette's sibling in their own way more than me. We're twins, but why are we so different at this point?
Lunette is standing in front of one of the hunters and cleaning her hands from dust. She seems to have already finished her part.
Then, she looked towards Big Sister Wave and said, "Yes, I completely understand what you teach me, big sister." She looks at her and sticks out her tongue back at Big Sister Wave in the same manner.
Big Sister Wave just gave her a thumb up then looked at me. During that time, I just avoided her attacks without attacking at all.
"What little girl? Can't fight? I don't think you're as strong as those two," said the fourth hunter who attacked me continuously.
I was confused about what I should do. The attacks coming from her looked very slow, but I still had to be careful. I finally decided to sweep his legs with my feet, making him fall. Of course that didn't defeat him, it only made her even more annoyed. He is so scary though. This is the first time I got into a fight, and this is too hard for a first timer like me.
The room was filled with cheers directed at me who was dodging every attack given. Some said, "Wow, that kid is really good," some said, "Maybe his opponent just gave in because she's a kid," but none of them came to help me. Did they still call themselves adults? Lunette and Big Sister Wave just smiled at me who was just dodging without attacking. They seemed to see me playing with the hunter. I'm not playing around and hurry up and help me! I really wanted to scream that.
"It's over, little girl," he shouted at me as he was about to attack me and started to activate his magic.
I, who felt in danger seeing the change in his eyes, immediately moved reflexively. "Etheria Style Martial Art Technique: Asteroid Smash," I muttered as I slammed him to the ground and locked his movements just like Big Sister Wave did before. The problem was solved, with the 4 hunters tied up not long after the incident. They were asked to pay compensation by the shop owner.
"Aren't you Neon? That famous idol," said one of the audience to Big Sister Wave. Neon? Who is that?
"No, you have the wrong person," she said to the person.
But one by one people began to seem to realize and said that Big Sister Wave was him.
The Guild Master came to him and said, "Wa- *cough*... Neon, long time no see. Want to take another quest?"
Big Sister Wave seemed unable to deny it anymore and took a deep breath, "Not this time… We just want to eat together…"
We were invited into his room and chatted a little. I could see a little through the gap in the door that the hunter who disturbed us was being dragged away to who knows where. I was a little surprised and worried about them. In the middle of the conversation, there was a scream that probably came from the hunter. I was very surprised and wondered in my mind "Why did they do it to them?"
Strangely, everyone in the room just kept talking as if nothing had happened. Big Sister Wave and the Guild Master acted as if nothing had happened, or maybe they were used to it. What is this? They are so scary. What kind of place is this?
After chatting, we finally found out what Big Sister Wave did. Big Sister Wave was an idol who was also a hunter with the alias "Neon". Neon was a girl who used music and voice magic with the ability of the top 5 strongest hunters in this city. We were both shocked, were we raised by a talented little girl who entered the top 5 strongest on the continent when she was 16 years old?
Big Sister Wave said, "This is the reason I didn't want to tell them."
At that time, Big Sister Wave told me about our parents while covering my ears. She knew that I was still traumatized from the incident and would have a relapse when talking about my parents. The Guild Master who finished listening was shocked by what Big Sister Wave said.
"They are my teacher's daughters," Big Sister Wave replied.
"Seriously?! They are the daughters of that person," asked the Guild Master.
"Right, think about it. Have I ever lied to you," Big Sister Wave asked. The Guild Master said to him, "Maybe you never lie, but you always cover up something troublesome. Your behavior is exactly the same as that person. You were already tainted the moment you became his disciple."
She let go of my ear and I was confused about what they were talking about. I really wanted to ask him, but I was sure he wouldn't answer.
I asked Big Sister Wave, "Big sis, who is he?"
She answered with, "He is the Guild Master, the person who takes care of the hunters."
Lunette opened her mouth and said, "Amazing," in a very excited tone.
Big Sister Wave just sighed, looking quite exhausted from this unexpected interaction.
The Guild Master ruffled Lunette's hair with a smile, "This young lady knows how to judge people, huh," he said jokingly.
"Of course, because I was taught by an idol," he replied while returning her joke, though she just knew recently that our big sister is an idol.
Unexpectedly, Lunette immediately became good friends with the Guild Master in a short time. They seemed to joke around like close friends who had been friends for years. Sometimes I felt jealous of Lunette who easily got along with other people. On the other hand, Big Sister Wave didn't seem to like the two of them getting close.
"Don't be such a weirdo like him, okay?" she said to me and patted my head.
I didn't understand what he meant by weird, but I just agreed.
A few hours passed, they seemed to grow closer each time and kept joking around. They shared various things like what they did or wanted to do.
The Guild Master asked "How about you both become hunters?"
The Guild Master asked both of us. But Big Sister Wave was surprised and looked at the Guild Master as if she didn't expect the question.
"Seriously? They're still too young for that, besides there are many other jobs than being a hunter," Big Sister Wave said to him after calming down from her surprise.
"Then let's just wait until they're old enough," she answered easily as if she was trivializing it.
Lunette said while giggling, "If I become a hunter, maybe I'll soon become a mainstay in this town."
"Oh? You want to challenge me, little miss?" The Guild Master said while raising his tone a little.
It seemed like Big Sister Wave knew things would turn out like this, that's why she didn't want us to meet her. I guess it was only a matter of time until we became hunters, because if Lunette was interested, she would definitely do it and drag me into it. We finally went home after a while from that place, I guess the time spent was quite a lot to find out what kind of job a hunter was.
In short, hunters are free people. They can do anything they want as long as they don't break the law and rules. They can go on adventures from city to city or even from continent to continent. They make money from the results of their hunts, be it animals or monsters, some even look for artifacts or other rare items. Lunette seemed very interested in this job and I was sure she would drag me along too.
The Guild Master said to us again, "You are Wave's younger siblings, and the children of that guy, both of you will be great hunters. I want to make a request of you once you become hunters. Will you find that book?"
Big Sister Wave slammed the table and interrupted the conversation in an angry tone, "GUILD MASTER!! ENOUGH OF THIS!!"
We were surprised because Big Brother Wave looked really angry right now. However, the Guild Master also looked very serious and didn't want to give up so easily. They glared at each other. Book? What did he want us to find?
Big Sister Wave said to us, "Luna, Lunette, let's go now. Forget what he said just now, you didn't hear anything."
I was shocked and said, "But sis, that's not-"
Big Sister Wave interrupted me again firmly, "JUST SILENT AND DO AS I SAY!!"
We were instantly silent, this was the first time she had yelled at me in a long time. Tears flowed from my eyes, it felt very painful when she yelled at me.
As soon as she realized it, Big Sister Wave immediately realized it and lowered his head to match my height. She apologized repeatedly with great regret.
When we came out of the room, only Lunette and the Guild Master were left. I was still a little sad so I could only hear a little of their conversation from behind the door. They were talking about something related to the previous one.
I heard Lunette say, "So it's true, the book you want to find is the Book of Origin."
Then the Guild Master answered her, "Yes, I want you to find that book and make sure no one can use it on a whim. It's a legacy from the ancestors of the previous heroes and it's very dangerous."
The Guild Master told Lunette about the heroes who were reincarnated from another world very seriously. There, Lunette also listened to him seriously, it was very rare to see her like this. The aura in the room felt very tense and the air also felt heavy.
When she finished explaining, Lunette said, "I also have business with that book, but… Only if Luna agrees. Luna and I are the one, I can't leave her alone, or vice versa."
I couldn't hear her clearly because of the sound of Big Sister Wave's footsteps coming towards me while bringing me a drink. She stroked my head and apologized again and again. I am kind of curious about what she means by me and she is the one, it sounds like we're not being able to be separated. Though, I really can't leave her alone because she will cause a problem soon.
Although it couldn't be heard clearly, the Guild Master looked surprised and said, "So you're one of them too."
Lunette also said, "Isn't it surprising? It looks very much like a fantasy RPG game."
What did she mean by fantasy RPG game? I didn't understand a single thing she said. The Guild Master didn't seem to understand what she was saying either, but somehow he seemed to make it seem natural. Is he used to it or something else? A reincarnation, maybe there are a few of his friends that were a reincarnator. Lunette is always easy to make some friends, she probably knows it from them.
After a while, Lunette came out of the room and we left the Guild. Her face looked as excited as ever. The serious and intimidating aura she gave off when they were talking privately earlier felt like a lie. We got into some trouble today, but I think I got to see another side of them. I better not make Big Sister Wave angry again.
