18. The Twin horns, and Auction

After 2 month of constant Spars and Idler, its the day when the Twin Horns will come to our house, it seems that they were getting hired for protecting the auction house while the auction is held.

Me, Arthur, Father is excited to meet the twin horns again after so long, especially me and Art, we were separated from them when the bandit attack happens and we already bonded well so its normal to miss them.

Not long after I joined Arthur who is anxiously waiting in the front door alone, I was walking with Mars in my shoulder and Sylvie who is calmly purr in my arms, she got quite docile everytime I was around.

After sensing someone is coming, Art turns back and see me walking towards him, "Nervous?" I asked him even though I know how nerve wracking it is.

Arthur just nod at my question and take Sylvie from my arms which make me quite sad considering the purr she gave make me quite happy.

Mars who notice my sad mood began to purr in my shoulder but the purr from Female and Male are different, and the purr from Mars felt more like a growl than a purr of happiness.

while we were waiting, a couple moments later the door got a knock and I proceed to open it, what greets me was not the usual polite greeting of someone intruding but rather a big 2 piece of watermelon who is fully grown ramming my face, its not like I don't enjoy it but I think I may die of suffocation, but its still a happy suffocation I guess.

"Wahhhhh, I miss you guys, you must've have it hard huh, such a small boy going trough all that" Said Angela who is still hugging me in her umm, mountain?

"Angela, I... Can't... Breath..." I said between my breath, I got saved by Durden who place his hand on Angela shoulder prompting her to let go of me.

"Durden, you got bigger" Said Arthur behind me, Durden who is usually big and dependable broke down crying of happiness after seeing both of us got taller than before.

"I can say the same to you guys" Durden said with a big smile plastered on his face.

All the sad moods got lighten up by Adam's comment who is leaning on the door looking all cool like some kind of protagonist of novels, "I thought the plan is to put a happy face and hide our tears, so what's with all the tears?" he said.

"Rather than that, aren't we gonna talk about the weird black mana bea-" he got cut up by Helen before he even finished his word, "ignore this posing idiot, but we're so glad that both of you have grown up to become such a splendid Young man" said Helen with a bit of tears running in her eyes.

After a bit when Helen said that word, a smile girl or well, a woman with a small stature running with tears in her eyes like a fountain, she is Jasmine who come running then hugs Arthur so hard while saying sorry repeatedly.

After short greeting between the twin horns and my father did, they bed farewell because they need to prepare for the upcoming auction today, father did also need times to prepare.

"you sure you don't need and conjurer inside?" asked Vincent to my father, "Well no, if we add more conjurer people may thinks we are starting a war or something" Answer my father.

"And beside, we have Angela and another wind conjurer who is alternating detection barriers around the Auction house, and Durden manning the main entrance, so I thinks we have more than enough security already" explain Father.

"Its good then, I'm really grateful that your old party agreed to help out the security" Said Vincent, "Hah, I'm also glad, with them here I can stationed some of the other guards outside around the next block" he said.

"We'll engage any threat outside, keeping the guest safe and will not damage the Auction house" Said Father while laughing hard.

"Ha.. I know your joking but after my experience with mage, I personally hold your promise on that" said Vincent

"Speaking if which, your son actually mentioned he wanted a sword before he registers as an adventurer, considering your fighting style, I never expected that you teach him sword arts" Said Vincent.

"hm? my son? or my sons? but well, I didn't event teach then sword style, I just got them wooden sword and they learned it them self" Said my Father.

"Four years!? ah why do I even surprised" said vincent, "But, everytime I spar with both of them, Arthur Always emit this kind of pressure like he have decade of battle experience" Said My Father.

"Decade? you know that he is not event decade old yet as of now" Said Vincent, "but what about Archon? don't he have the same talent as his brother?" Asked Vincent.

"He? well, Arch is a quite boy, he never actually shows any kind of amazing talent but I can't never seems to detect where he is and also his eyes, it seems like an eyes of someone who have kind of dark story, I know its weird but maybe its just my imagination" Answered my father.

"Hmm well, maybe its just an Early puberty" said vincent which make my Father felt shock, "But anyway lets go meet the other, they probably waiting on us after this long" Said Vincent.

"Wait, did Arch asked you for a sword too?" Asked my Father, "hm, now that you said it, I guess Arthur only asked one for himself and not two" answered Vincent, "That's weird, usually they always cover for each other, or Arch already have a sword?" Think my father aloud.

"Well you just need to stop thinking bout it, after all they have decade of experience right?" Said Vincent with a smirk trying to annoy my Father, "SHUT IT" said my father and walked down to meet the other who is waiting for both of them.
