Evangelion NightShades

Today was the day my father, Adam Nightshades, and sister, Evangelion, were to return after the 'SEPTET.'

According to the novel, in the future, she would awaken a SS Rank potential and would become a party member of Peter.

She always had a cold personality in the novel, showing a cold shoulder to her brother and ignoring his presence. But I don't hate her for that; instead, I feel the pain of losing her mother. However, directing it towards me is a no-go.

Adam Nightshades was always a power-hungry fellow who wasn't able to help her. Later in the novel, Peter manipulated her emotions and added her to his harem. But in this life, I'm not going to let him take her away. As a responsible brother, I have to protect her from the pervert, Peter.

"Despite showing a cold shoulder to her brother, she actually helped her avoid the bullies in the novel, Infact It was mentioned in the novel that during Orion's early age as a child she used to take care of him."

It was another, and after waiting for the whole day, As I was sleeping peacefully in my cradle something poked my cute cheeks,

"Good morning my dear brother, oh you must be wondering who I am, I am your sister Evangelion Nightshades and I know about your little secret here." 

In front of me stood a child with black hair and pitch black eyes staring down at me like a prey.

As those words came out of her mouth my heartbeat increased rapidly, 'Does she know that I'm not her brother, Is she a reincarnated person like me?'

And as I continued to overthink a voice within me 'Heartbeat, Stabilize it', as soon as those words came out I realized,

'How terrifying? she can hear my heartbeat, I should've guessed afterall she is a genius, whoosh calm yourself.. put up a baby smile.' 

"BUbUBubu" I started laughing obnoxiously as i calmed myself down and as I was doing that she continued to stare down at me with knitted eyebrows.

"Hush! for one second, I though you are able to understand my words, you are what? a month old, nah this can't be true even for a genius like me it took around 3 months to comprehend speech and walk, alright then I'll be going back brother, nice meeting you eh."

Just as I thought she left, *Chills* ran down my spine as I felt killing aura behind my back "Hope you would be an obedient tool for me brother."

'What was that? Am I hallucinating or is she a psychopath like me? Isn't he a child like me what is with her tone, she is just a year older than me and what is this about being a tool' gulp,

'yep, guess my sister isn't so cute after all, quite scary to be fair and by the way what is that voice inside my head? is it just my imagination?'

Several months passed like this, and I acted as if I was a baby. At night, I used to hunt to improve my physique. I also learned basic swordsmanship from the library to awaken aura.

My grandfather had awakened aura when he was 7 years through sheer hard work and swordsmanship, later entering the fifth Rank of Aura, making him one of the strongest individuals of his generation.

I wanted to break that record and used to do swordsmanship and body training at night until I shredded every one of my muscles. During the day, I would relieve the fatigue by sleeping the whole day to go of radar out of Evangelion's sight.

During this period, my father never visited me, but surprisingly Evangelion's visits increased from a day in a week to each day. 

"After all that visits that I had from her I realized something, Evangelion liked toys very much and didn't like when others took away what is supposedly hers."

A strange obsession arose in her, to possess me as one of those tools for her entertainment. Well at least she tries to be good with her toys.

"Baby, say Evangelion,"

and I used to irritate by mumbling out some random words like bubu or something.

Evangelion's stare sharpened as she stared at me "Oh, come on, Orion, don't be naughty or else you don't want to see what sister will do when she gets mad."

"Evange..bubu."

Two years have passed since then, and I am currently 3 years old.

Vampires have superior growth during their early years, about 2x growth to that of humans and retain their youth considerably longer so my body is that of 6 years old.

I spent my years continued to train in the jungle and improve my basic swordsmanship skills. I also have read several books related to magic, alchemy and weaponry.

"Interestingly, after weeks and months of Research I've come to conclusion that Sword isn't suited for me, it doesn't have a sense of appeal I mean it is good in case of close ranged fights but apart from that they are pretty much useless."

And here I want to become a cool guy, so am here shopping weapons with my dear sister at the capital of Dusk Endale and we are accompanied by the head butler assigned by Adam for safety.

"Orion, you said that you wanted a customized weapon for you, why don't you just choose something in one of our family's collections."

"No! None of those have an appeal Sister, don't you know I like stylish and functional weapons rather than overpowered weapons."

"Then why don't we just visit the blacksmith shop over there? I heard that he is one of the best blacksmith in the whole of Duskendale."

"Nah, He is a vampire and I want a Dwarf to make my weapons."

"Orion, there is only one dwarf in this entire continent and that too he is a grand smith and you want me to buy a weapon from him. "

I snuck my head down trying to act cute " yesh" I mumbled.

"Hush! I have spoiled you too rotten Orion, do you even realize your request, there are only 2 Grand smiths in the whole world, one is the patriarch of the Hammer family of dwarves and the other one is his exiled older brother Rodrigue Hammer."

"Even our father cannot make such an outrageous request Orion, so you better face the reality and instead use my sword."

"--sigh-- Atleast let me try once."

"And where do you plan to find the sole Grand smith in the whole continent?"

"Well It's quite simple, I could imagine a exiled old dwarf clenching down his sorrows by drinking loads of fine liquor somewhere down the alleyway."

"Fine, let's go by your logic even if it were to be right, where do you plan to go amongst this whole city?"

"Well, we don't necessarily have to search for him, do we? When can we just throw a free party for all those geezers?"

'His mind is sharper than I thought' saying so my sister muffled through my hair.

"Fine, but you're not allowed to enter the party because you are underage and I will ask the butler to arrange the party.:

"Hooray thanks sister"

"Don't put your hopes high Orion, even I haven't seen him in all my life it would be a miracle for you to see him. Now go back to the carriage and take some rest." and so I went back.

"Butler arrange the party under my alias, and make sure the word gets out to every corner of the city."

"Mam, are you sure you want to spend so much on that dumb *Cough* I mean clueless young master like him, I feel he will be manipulated by other noble families."

"Mind your words butler, don't forget that he is my brother."

The butler didn't flinch at her words and continued "Pardon my pertinence, but i feel compared to your intellect, Young master doesn't hold a candle, much become a heir for the Nightshade family, he doesn't have the thirst for blood like our kin, how can I say he is too nice for someone from the vampires."

"True, Even I find it quite amusing, how childish Orion can be at the same time, I wonder where he gets these crazy ideas from.Anyways do what I told you."

"Yes madam" saying so the butler arranged a huge party in a tavern and spread the rumors of it throughout the town.

As the Night befall on the city, several old fogies and adventurers came to the gathering, while me and my sister stood at an establishment with the butler to guard.

"How are you planning to find him amongst such crowd Orion?" Evangelion asked to tease her brother.

"Hum I heard that dwarves could smell the aroma of a fine liquor from miles away, so why don't we just do that?"

"Hoh I wonder where you read this?"

"In the library sister, You should also come with me its really fun."

"Fine lets do it your way, butler open the finest liquor on display and let's watch the show that's going to happen."

The butler opened a grand bottle with the richest aroma and placed it in cups from the tavern leading to our establishment

"Now its all about waiting"
