Chapter 5 Kei Ravern
Oh...
"Almost time, huh?..."
*Sigh*
"I'm glad no one talks about the sword that I'm carrying around with me. Im so glad it's not heavy."
"Uhm excuse me mister?...is that sword by any chance...came from the Leo's weapon shop?"
I flinched then immediately turned around to see who the person behind me was.
It was a handsome young man maybe around 1-3 years younger than me.
"Uhm you are?" I asked the person infront.
"Oh I'm sorry! My name is Kei, Kei Ravern. My Grandfather owns that shop...I just went there to bring him lunch but he wasn't there...So I wanted to know if you somehow know where he is or something... I'm so sorry for bothering you!" He said with his head facing the floor, embarrassed.
"You? You're Kei Ravern? I asked him.
"Y-yes...Do I know you?" He asked with a confused look.
"Ah No, actually..."
...
A few hours later
"S-so you're telling me my grandfather disappeared out of nowhere?" He asked while sobbing, still can't get over what I just said.
"Yeah...He asked me to take care of you in exchange for this sword. I didn't know what he meant at first but....yeah, I'm sorry" I said trying to calm him down.

I gotta get ready.
"So hey, Kei."
"Yes? What is it, Mister Liekris?" He abruptly replied and looked at me.
*chuckle*
"Don't call me Mister, just Liekris. Anyways, I gotta go somewhere later...and it's too dangerous for you to come." I said looking at him with a worried face.
"Hmmm? Oh! its fine^^" He said, smiling.
"Just stay at my apartment if you want or you can go to this place. Just tell them I sent you..." I said while writing down the address of our mansion and handing it over to him.
"Are you sure, Brother Liekris?" He said hesitating whether he should accept it or not.
Brother?
haha.
"Yep! I have a responsibility to take care of you. So until I come back, stay at the mansion." I looked at him with a reassuring smile. Like a big brother telling his little brother not to be scared and trust him. pfft~
"Wait Mansion!? I-Are you sure? Uhm...Alright" He said with a flustered voice.
"Good...Then I'll see you there?" I looked at him smiling then wave him goodbye.

Woah Wait what!?...When did I get all of this?
Calm down...Maybe its just a reward by the system or something...
Yes... Maybe that's it...
Okay, enough...The gates will appear soon.
I should probably practice with my sword and get used to it.
