One More Time: Rebirth

Chapter 60: To the new adventure

A few days after Big bro woke up, he started gathering information about the recent events. He was worried about Eri-nee-chan and Gerard since he hasn't seen them. When he got home he called for a family meeting. The information Big bro acquired wasn't good news.

Eri-nee-chan and Gerard's parents were killed in the recent attack. Some of the children were taken by the invaders. It was rumored that they would be sold as slaves so that the true humanity can gain some extra war funds. Eri and Gerard were both part of the children captured. While brother was relaying the story he was grinding his teeth to suppress his anger.

I can't believe those two got caught, both of them were strong. That was when big bro started his real discussion. He wanted to rescue his friends, so he was informing his family, that he would be going to Pinlang Baham the slave traders' stronghold, near the borders of the human, demon kingdoms.

I was expecting mom and dad to refuse but they didn't. It must have been because big bro was looking all serious. Even if they refuse, once big bro was like that he would do it anyway with or without their permission.

Dad then asked what big bro and Tsukiyomi-nee-san will do about school. Big bro answered that there was no problem. He already informed the school about his plans. In fact, both he and Tsukiyomu-nee-san were given a two-year pass due to their achievements on the recent raid.

The principal said, even if they return after two years without going to school, they'll still be considered third years. I wanted to go with big bro but I wasn't strong enough. So instead I'll stay and grow stronger so that next time I can go with big bro.

I went to see big bro the night before his departure.

"Onii-chan please spar with me." Big bro looked into my eyes so I too looked at his. He nodded his head and led me outside.

The moon was not out tonight but the stars were shining brightly. Tsukiyomi-nee-san was there with us, she was going to be the witness to the spar. I looked at big bro and Tsukiyomi-nee-san, they were wearing a different set of armor than their usual.

Big bro was wearing a black sleeveless leather shirt that fitted his body showing off his muscles, and similar black leather pants and leather greaves. Yet even with the changes in his armor he still wore the brown leather gloves and even the charm that were given to him. On his waist was his longsword but this time it had a different hilt. The hilt looked similar to the crescent-shaped edge on his staff, no looking closely I do think, that is the crescent-shaped edge from his staff.

Why am I so sure, well because there is that huge mana stone sticking at the tip? So big bro modified his weapon. Tsukiyomi-nee-san on the other hand, still wore the same thing, except this time instead of black her gown was pure white.

I myself was wearing a white blouse and green skirt, and by my waist was a sword belt housing two short swords. These were given to me by mom and dad. The sword on the left was given by dad, it was a sword made and forged by the same blacksmith that made big bro's sword, so same as big bro's it glimmered with silver light.

The sword on the right was given by mom, was a sword made from alchemy its sharpness pales in comparison to the other sword but it is very light as if you were holding nothing at all. Its color was the same as mom and big bro's hair fiery red.

"Draw your weapons, Sarah." Big bro spoke, I unsheathed my twin blades and so did big bro unsheathed his weapon.

"Come at me whenever you're ready Sarah." Hearing Big bro's words I started chanting. Unlike big bro, I can't do voiceless chants.

"Upon the blessings of the earth, scatter, and spread [sandstorm]." A gust of wind and sand surrounded big bro this was to block his view.

"O blessed spirits of water grant unto me thy blessings. Turn thy healing flow into freezing death, and curse the land upon thy wake. Show my enemy the grounds of death." I placed my hand onto the ground and activated the spell [frozen world].

The ground we were fighting on was turned into ice. Every day I practiced in this kind of environment, so my speed can double in this field of ice. While I speed up my opponent's movement will be obstructed.

I charged forward gliding through the ice, I was heading toward big bro. From the beginning big bro hasn't moved from his spot. Void style [thunderous roar], I imbued my left sword with mana and threw it forward, but before it got any distance I kicked the hilt to add to the acceleration and power.

Big bro easily dodged with swaying movements, but with this, I'm able to get close. I did a sideward slash but big bro was able to duck and before I knew it the tip of his blade was pointing at my neck.

I smiled, so this is the difference between me and big bro. "You've gotten stronger Sarah."

"Still with that much, I wasn't able to reach you, but the next time, I'll make you get to fight seriously onii-chan." I hugged big bro, who patted my head.

The following day big bro and Tsukiyomi-nee-san were about to depart. Mom and dad simply told him to take care, unlike the last time big bro left where they kept on crying.

"See ya onii-chan, the next time we spar I'll be way stronger. So next time bring me along, ok onii-chan!" Big bro chuckled before he answered.

"Sure, the next time I'll bring you along. So get stronger as much as you can, my imouto." With that big bro and Tuskiyomi-nee-san left under the bright sun, to their new adventure.
