Chapter 607 Annoying Little Brother
-----
With Aquarina\'s birthday approaching and four other requests I wanted to get down, there wasn\'t any time to waste. Also I had to bring my little brother along, I hope he doesn\'t get bored with us though, I don\'t really get what he really wants from this, other than having fun and interact around.
"What do we do today, big sis? I want to go on an adventure… I am bored in the house…" Zephyr said, walking behind me while I held his hand.
"Hmm… I was thinking on going to visit some people that had some requests, do you want to come along? I also plan on doing something later, mostly alchemy related." I said while thinking about my schedule.
"Oh, I see… Mama said there\'s a weapon shop around, can we go see it?" Zephy wondered.
"A weapon shop? Well, don\'t you have a little wand that mom gifted to you?" I asked him.
He had a special wand handmade by the Blue Witch as well, which used True Demon materials to make it very strong, alongside some leftover dragon scales. Ah, now that I think about it, I can also produce dragon scales and dragon blood from my own body, I might use them to make equipment later.
It helped him channel and control his three primary elements, Shadows, Blood, and Death. The last two are more dangerous than the first one, but Zephy has superb control over them, and has classes with mom frequently too, so he\'s quite amazing at magic. However, he has a limit unlike me, so his magic cannot get as crazy as mine could at his age, when I lacked proper control.
"Yeah but I want a sword!" Zephyr said, his adorable green eyes shining brightly.
Mom had said that we looked like twins that were born separately, his hair and eye colors were the same as mine, and she had said his face was just as cute. I guess she\'s right, each time little Zephyr get excited, his eyes shine brightly and he\'s way too cute to say no to!
"Sword?" I wondered. "That\'s… well, at your age I was… Right, at our age I was already practicing using a sword."
"I heard it from papa… He said that I needed to get myself a sword first, he said he had already commissioned one for me but I want one right now! Can I?" Wondered little Zephy.
"Young master aren\'t you too young for handling a sword?" Asked Nephi.
"Y-Yeah, right?" I asked her.
"Muhhh… If you don\'t help me buy one, I\'ll tell everyone you were mooching with Aquarina!" Zephy said while pouting.
"E-Eh?! Ah…? Are you blackmailing me?!" I asked in surprise. "Zephy, where did you learned to be like this…"
"I\'ve heard you say it. Mom and dad too…!" Zephy said.
"W-Well… Even if you say it to everyone, I don\'t really mind." I sighed. "Everyone kind of knows about it somehow, they just don\'t know that happened… yet. Anyways, I\'ll help you buy a sword, but not because of that, okay? Also, don\'t blackmail people like this, Zephy. It is bad."
"Muh… Okay, as long as you buy me a sword, I won\'t tell anybody ever!" He said happily.
Geez, I think he didn\'t really understand what I said correctly.
"Well, whatever. How about some armor too- Ah, you\'re too small, I don\'t know if there\'s any armor piece good enough for you. We could- Oh right! I\'ve got my old leather armor and equipment I used when I was your age. How about I give them to you?" I asked.
"Oooh! Sounds great! Where are they?" Zephy wondered.
"I\'ll give them to you later, whenever we are going out into the field, of course." I said, giving him a kiss in his cheek. "As long as you behave and are a good boy, big sis will gift you many things, so be a good boy, okay?"
"Okay! Mooch!" Zephy suddenly gave me a kiss in my chin.
Ahhh~ My little brother is so cute! I love him so much!
"Alright then, let\'s go buy a sword for you, Zephy. Nephi come with us." I said with a smile. "My friends should be getting here-"
"SYLPHYYYYY!"
Suddenly, I heard Aquarina from behind, she ran to my side with Zack. I noticed Mist and Celeste coming along as well, accompanied by little Celica this time.
"Hey guys."
As I greeted them, Zephy looked at them with a smile.
"Hello!"
As he greeted them all, they looked at him in surprise.
"He\'s coming along?" Wondered Zack.
"Yeah… My parents\' kind of asked me to let him join us from now on." I said. "Don\'t worry, he\'ll be my responsibility."
"That\'s nice, I don\'t want to be a babysitter, Mist and Celica are already a handful." Celeste sighed.
"Hey, I\'m not a little kid anymore!" Mist said angrily.
"Uwah, Zephyr you\'re so similar to your big sis!" Celica gave him a head pat.
"They always say that! Am I really like her?" He wondered. "I don\'t find anything similar!"
"You must be colorblind then." Laughed Zack.
"Ugh, so you\'re really bringing along your brother." Sighed Aquarina.
Its not that she hated him or something, but he\'ll steal a lot of my attention, so I guess I can understand why she would feel that way. But still, I don\'t like that tone of voice. He\'s my little brother after all, not some stranger.
"Aquarina don\'t talk like that about my brother." I said. "If you don\'t want to hang around with us then you can stay at your house."
"E-Eh? I didn\'t said anything!" Aquarina seemed slightly annoyed.
"Well you kind of seemed displeased." I crossed my arms.
"Aw come on…" Aquarina sighed. "Okay, sorry…"
"Don\'t be so jealous, we can spend time together later as well, don\'t worry." I whispered to her.
"Alright, I get it~" Aquarina smiled back.
"Mooch, mooch!"
As we were talking more intimately, Zephyr interrupted us.
"Zephy don\'t make that noise!"
