3 Ch 3: Mixus Family 2
"The Mixus Family...?!"
The woman turns her head towards the small man in anger. The small man did not notice her angry gaze and kept on walking.
The old man overhears her. " Yes, Young miss, The Mixus Family. Did you perhaps unknowingly try to steal a Quiss without even knowing who you're taking it from...?"
The woman turns her head down without uttering a single word as if embarrassed as the old man's guess was spot on.
"Bwahahahaha!" The old man couldn't help but laugh.
"Unbelievable! I cannot help but laugh! To think you would do that! Either you people are very brave or unbelievably stupid but..." The old man glances at the kid "To think that it would all lead to having a chosen one..."
"Old man, Old man what's The Mixus Family?! They sound super strong!" Curiously asked the kid.
"What is the Mixus Family, huh...?" The old man ponders a bit at the question while still walking.
"It is a wonderful Family that will cherish all its members and do anything for them no matter what."
"Mhmm... So are they strong?" Asked the kid.
"Well I am part of the Mixus Family, so you decide if we are."
The kid grins. "You're super strong! So they must be pretty strong too!"
"Haha, Indeed they are in their own way. But we'll have to end this conversation here, we're nearing our destination."
In the distance, they can see a glimpse of a large white house. They keep walking straight towards it and before you know it, they've gone out the alleyway and arrived at the large estate. They stopped to view the estate, even though It was still night you could clearly tell it was an impressive estate with an even more impressively large house.
"Woah!!! What a big house!!!" The kid looked amazed
"Impressive, isn't it?" The old man remarked with a hint of pride.
"But as expected, you three wouldn't react..." Said the old man while looking at the 3.
The small man looking visibly worried thinks to himself "To think that we would be back here. I didn't wanna come back here at all..."
The old man continued to walk straight towards the house in the pathway and the rest of them follows ahead. The kid looks left and right around the estate in curiosity and just sees trees until he spots a figure sitting on the stairs at the entrance of the house, he squints his eyes trying to see what it was but couldn't. It was too dark at the entrance of the house, there was no light whatsoever but because he couldn't see what it was, he didn't bother anymore and just continued to look around while following the old man.
They continued walking the pathway till they reached the stairs leading to the entrance of the house, now up close you can see that the house was a bit worn down similar to the statue in the center but it still looked like it could withstand another decade, unlike the statue.
"Ahahaha! I knew you wouldn't disappoint if you were the one I sent, Juhsa! You're such a reliable man!"
A silhouette of a man stands up at the top of the stairs right in front of the door. The old man immediately bows down, and the 4 surprised that the insane powerful old man from earlier bowed down right now, right in front of them.
"Thank you for the praise." said the old man
The small man in conflict thinks to himself "W-W-What?! W-Who is he?! Why is the old man bowing?! Should we bow?! Do we need to bow?!"
While the small man continues to think, the woman bows too. "E-Eilda bowed! Eilda already bowed, I should just bow too!" The small man thinks.
The small man bows too, his bald head shining a bit even without light bouncing off it, The big man immediately follows along.
The kid feeling out of place tries to bow down too.
"You don't have to bow."
The kid stops before he could lower his head, he looks up above the stairs and sees the man talking emerging from the darkness. He was a tall man not so muscular but well-defined body with short silver hair.
"Ahahahaha! Why would you need to bow? You don't even know me! Juhsa, don't tell me ya messed with these kids? Should've I just sent her instead of you?" said worriedly by the mysterious man
The 3 of them are surprised by this and look up too to see the mysterious person.
The old man raises his head and looks at them "I am most definitely the better fit for this rather than that lazy bum and I am certain that I have not... But I did use just a little bit of force so perhaps that could be the reason...? " Answered the old man.
"Well that's within expectation but what isn't is this..." said the mysterious man while looking at the kid's head. "I wouldn't have expected that the seemingly impossible Quiss would choose someone today!"
"Hmm?" The kid looks left and right to see check if the mysterious man is referring to someone else.
"Do I have something in my face...?" asked confusingly the kid while pointing at his face.
"No, but you do have our precious Quiss on top of your head... I wonder how you got chosen by it, would you happen to know...?"
"Not really, I just put it on and it shined bright! It was so very bright!" explained like a kid by the kid.
"It shined bright...?!" asked surprised by the mysterious man.
"Yes, it indeed did shine, so bright actually that one could think it was morning." remarked the old man.
"I see... Shined brightly, huh? That's new..." The mysterious man pondered a bit by the remark "Well anyway, So these 3 are the culprits then I suppose...?" said the mysterious man while turning his head towards the 3.
The small man shivers in fear when the mysterious man turns to them.
"I-I-I..." The small man cannot help but chatter his teeth from fear.
The small man jumps up high, as high as how tall as the big guy is, the other 2 beside him was taken aback by his action and back up a bit and ultimately land on both knees while both hands clenched together, his hands swaying up and down.
"We would like to sincerely apologize for what we did! Please forgive us! Please Please Please! Don't kill us!" He begged...
The mysterious person and the kid were dumbfounded by the sudden performance in front of them.
"Khahahahaha! What the hell are you doing?!" He couldn't help but laugh.
"Whahahahaha! What a funny guy!" The kid laughed hard too.
"Khahaha don't worry, don't worry, we won't do anything to ya!" Said the mysterious man with a joyous expression.
The small man was stunned by the situation. A mysterious man who made an insanely strong old man bow and a kid chosen by a Quiss is laughing at him. He couldn't help but feel embarrassed but he can't do anything to retaliate or else he knows what'll happen.
"S-So you aren't going to kill us...?" Said the small man feeling a sense of relief.
"No, not anymore... We would've but" His joyous expression immediately changes to a serious one with a curious gaze looking straight at the kid.
The kid stopped laughing as he notices the gaze of the mysterious man at him.
"This kid here saved all your asses. Stealing a Quiss is a major world offense and from a Family no less. Just with these, we would've tortured you and your friends immensely but luckily you encountered an incredible person... Someone who is worthy of the Quiss..."
"Mhmm? Me? I'm incredible?! How!" Asked the kid with pride.
The mysterious man looks at the kid carefully.
"Khahahaha! What an unbelievable sight. So young yet so impressive!"
"Ah, that doesn't answer my question!" Said the kid seemingly annoyed.
The mysterious man turns around and opens the door to the big house while opening he glances back and says. "All of you should head in, aren't you all freezing out there after all that heavy rain?" after saying that, he heads in. The old man walks up the stairs and heads in too with the kid following behind still seeming quite annoyed. The 3 look at each other and without saying anything understood each other of deciding to just follow along too.
The kid's annoyance turned to astonishment "Woah! What a long hallway! I thought it would be bad inside with how it looked outside!" remarked the kid.
The woman continued on walking and thinks to herself "I guess they aren't planning on actually killing us... The Mixus Family is kinder than I imagined..."
Inside was a long hallway that leads to another set of stairs for the 2nd floor, there were also 3 doors, 2 medium-sized ones to the left and 1 big one to the right. The mysterious man heads in the one to the right and the rest of them follows.
Inside was a big spacious living room with a fireplace and a big round table with exactly 13 chairs around it. The mysterious man sits in a chair.
"All of you should sit down, I have some questions I'd like to ask." said the mysterious man.
"Questions, huh? I'd like to ask some questions too! Nobody was answering me earlier!" said the kid.
"Well, you can call this an even exchange then? Ahahahaha! And hopefully, you three don't have any complaints after doing what you did." Said the mysterious man.
"Y-Yes! We definitely don't have any complaints! None at all!" Scaredly answered the small man.
The rest of them sits down. The kid, sits on the right side of the mysterious man, and the 3 on the other side of the kid. The old man continued to stand and stood on the left side of the mysterious man. The mysterious man leans at the table and place his elbows on the table and clumps his hand together covering his mouth.
"Well let's start with something simple. What're your names?" asked the mysterious man.
"Wouldn't it be polite to state yours first before asking for someone else's?" stated the woman.
"Missy, you still have your hood on so I don't know where you got the idea of polite but we're not exactly going for polite right now... Will you answer the question or not?" Said the mysterious man with a piercing gaze looking straight at the woman.
The small man immediately takes action to protect the woman.
"M-My name is Mihikolo! I was born in a Village in Laraposa, My favorite food is shrimp! And I am 22 years old!
"A village from Laraposa, huh...?" said the mysterious man while thinking to himself "He's already bald at that age...?!"
"Then how bout the big man here? What's your name?" Asked the mysterious man.
"Me? I am Fylo! I came from the same village as the boss and I am the first and only follower of the great boss, The Great Mihikolo! I am also the most devoted to the great boss!"
"The great mihikolo? Mister tiny?" asked the kid.
The kid, the old man, and the mysterious man look at Mihikolo, Mihikolo seemed embarrassed by the stares.
"Well anyway, how about you missy? Who are you?" asked the mysterious man.
"My name is-" The mysterious man interrupts her and says "Stop. You're introducing yourself while still hiding behind your hood and yet you talk about politeness earlier?"
She didn't move for a moment but after a couple of seconds, she reluctantly removed the hood on her head revealing a beautiful luscious long scarlet hair and beautiful fiery crimson eyes, she looks to be around 20-24 years old.
"Hoh...? Scarlet hair and crimson eyes, that's a rare sight." silently uttered by the mysterious man.
"My name is Eilda... Eilda Rosendjice..." reluctantly said the woman.
"Eh?! That's it?!" Shockingly asked by Mihikolo.
"Mhmm, I see Alright, kid it's your turn. You're the one who's taken my attention this whole time, I'd like to know the name of the one chosen. Kid, who are you...?" Asked with utmost curiosity by the mysterious man.
"Hehe!" The kid stands up and puffs his chest out, slams the table with one hand, and points at himself proudly
"I am the person who will bring peace to this chaotic world, remember my name! I am Lexandi Dolquiss!!" The kid yelled out his name with pride.
!!!
The old man and The mysterious man were stunned.
"Lexandi Dol... Quiss...?" asked the mysterious person with a stunned face.
"Yes! Lexandi Dolquiss! Mhmmm, but the old geezer did say that I shouldn't say that's my name. So I'll use the name he gave me, My name is Lequiss!" yelled out again by the kid with pride.
The mysterious man thinks to himself. "Dolquiss, huh...? So 'they' actually existed...?! To think that the chosen one in front of me will be one of 'them'. What an unexpected twist of fate..."
"Well, now it's your turn, Mister! Who are you mister and who is that old man too? He's crazy strong!" Said the kid with a bright and curious face.
The mysterious man lets out a small chuckle "Ahahaha."
"I guess it is our turn." said the mysterious man while leaning back.
He points to the old man with his thumb "This old man here is one of my precious family members, his name is Sir Juhsa Andeal. And you're right kid, he's crazy strong!" Said the mysterious man with a hint of pride.
"Yeah! He's crazy strong! But how about you, mister? Who are you? Are you strong too?" Asked the kid.
"My name is Roncleus Mixus..." The mysterious man places his hand at his chest as if to indicate something.
He grins.
"I am the Head of the Mixus Family."
