Well, the chapter you’ve all been waiting for, Chapter 11!
This chapter is longer [7 Pages ish] to make up for Chapter 10… so yeah ^_^
Enjoy, readers!

This morning, we honor that of which whom sacrificed his life to save all of ours.
For anyone who was any words to say… Please speak up now.

I… have some words to say… about my onii-chan… My name is Haruki.
He was a great brother to have… Caring, nice, someone to look after you… and… I… miss him… I just wish… I could tell him I’m sorry…

Yeah… I have a few words myself. My name is Tai. I didn’t really like him at first, but now that I see him, he is a good guy… Just wish he didn’t have to die like that… Damn… just wish I could take back those words…

Ah… My name is Sierra… He was… my student… Who grew up and became a bandit in honor of me… I just… why did it have to be him… Why did I say that to him…

Hello, my name is Derr. Well, maybe he did deserve to die. Since well, he made Sierra cry. But… then again, so many people care for him… so maybe he didn’t deserve to die. Well, looks like what people wished for came? I suppose if he was alive… I’d apologize for what I said to him…

I laid in bed, listening to the faint voices above me on the deck.
”So… They… do care…” I muttered.
I took a sigh and looked out the window. About an hour passed and everything was silent. My stomach growled as I continued staring out the window, looking at the clouds.
”Ahh… Better get some food…”
I got up and realized I didn’t have a cape on. The Red Napoleon Haruki gave me was not on my back, so I went and grabbed my old black one. I equipped it on and covered my head with the hood.

Opening the door, I carefully looked outside. No one was in the hallway, so I made my way. I walked pass the Main Cabin Room. Not many people were in there, but a few were chit chatting. I went to the Food serving room and froze at the door.

There, I saw Aaru sitting alone, eating. She seemed quite sad as she poked her food with her fork, then eating little bits of her food. When she took a sigh, a person in a White Robe Napoleon came her and talked to her. She smiled then the Person in the robe bent over and kissed her on the cheek. My body became cold as I saw that. When she opened her eyes after the kiss, she saw me, at the door but didn’t know who I was. A person bumped into me and knocked off my hood.
‘Scuse me…
She let out a gasp and dropped her fork.
Le—
But it was already too late. She got up and went to the door but didn’t see me there.
”Lex…” She said softly.
I quickly made my way to my room, but bumped into a girl knocking her down.
”Ahh… ouch…”
”I’m sorry about that” I said, helping her up.
”It’s oka—“
After helping her up, I walked away, but was held back.
”Onii…Onii-chan…” She said with a soft voice as she grabbed my cape. Her hair covered her face as she looked down.
”Haruki?”
She looked at me then glomped me, knocking me to the floor
”ONII-CHAN!!!”

Everyone stared when they heard me thump on the floor. I hugged her back and got up. She was still hugged me tightly, so made my way to my cabin room while carrying her.
”Onii-chan, I missed you so much… I’m sorry for everything I said… I’m sorry…”
She said as she wept on my body while I carried her down the hall. I settled her down on my bed and I sat besides her. We began to talk to each other.
”Oh, onii-chan… I’ve missed you so much… We thought you were… gone… forever…”
”I… I’m sorry for worrying you…”
”I’m glad you’re back…”
We continued talking then heard a horn.
*hooooong hoooong*

The trip leaving from Ellinia to arrive at Orbis has now ended. Please make your way off the ship. Make sure you have everything, you have 3 hours to leave the ship before it is cleaned. This announcement will be played again in 30 minutes.

Mostly everyone didn’t hear the announcement since the night before wore them out.

“Well, looks like we’re on orbis now, onii-chan~!”
”Yeah… I guess we are… Ah… Go gather your stuff, I’m going to do something…”
”Okay! Meet me in the main room okay?”
”Alright… Oh, Haruki, where’s milkshake?”
”She’s sleeping in my bed, onii-chan.”
”Oh, alright, go pack then.”
”Okay!”
Haruki ran to Tai’s room and began packing her stuff. I went to my bag and took out a piece of note paper and an envelope. I found a pen on a small desk in the room and began writing a note to Sierra.

I finished the note and sealed it into the envelope. I gathered my things, putting them into my bag and made my way to Sierra’s room.
I slowly opened the room and looked inside. Sierra, Derr, and Silver were sleeping on the beds.
”…Dark Sight…” I whispered.

My body came partially hidden with the shadows, though I was still seeable since the skill was low level.
”Oh well, this should do…”
I walked in and slowly went to Sierra. The floor creaked with every slow step I took. Finally getting close to her, I took out the note and slipped it in her pocket. I took a sigh and looked at her for a few seconds. I turned around and took a step.

”…Derr?” Sierra soft moaned.

My eyes were wide with a worried face. Before I would take another step, Dark Sight wore off and my black napoleon showed.
Ah, crap… she woke up… she thinks I’m derr so… I thought to myself, I took a *ahem* and made my voice girly, putting on my Black Napoleon Hood.
”Mmm…. Yes, Sierra?”
”Your voice sounds… different?”
”Ahh, no it doesn’t!! I just… ahh… got a sore throat.”
”Oh… Do you mind if you… sit with me for a while?”

NUUU SHE WANTS ME TO SIT WITH HER!!! SHE’LL FIND ME OUT FOR SURE!!!

”Ahh… but I got to go get some breakfast for you?”
”Please… Derr…. I don’t want to be alone…”

Ah… It can’t be helped…

”Alrighty~!”
”Hmm… ‘Alrighty’… I haven’t heard you say that before…”

Crap…

”Er… must be the sore throat making me weird? Hahahahehehehe…?”
”Umm… okay… Come sit with me…”
I sat besides her, with the Black Napoleon concealing my body as a robe.
”I miss Lex… Why… did he have to die…”
”I… I don’t know…”
”*sigh* I miss him so much… I shouldn’t have said what I said…”
”It’s alright, Sierra.”
”Your voice…”

Uh oh…

When I said”It’s alright, Sierra.” my voice was normal. I quickly took a *ahem* and said
”Ahh, this sore throat is bad, very very bad, making me sound like a guy, tehehehe~”
”…Lex…?”
”Yes, Sierra? I mean, *ahem* Where?? Where’s Lex?”
“…Right here…”
”I think I see him! Is he at that corner??”
”Nope, he’s right… here.”
She took off my hood and smiled. She giggled and looked away.
”Ah… umm… Hi, I’m Derr! I’ll go get you breakfast now!”
”Come on, Lex… stop with that voice, you sound funny.”
”Aahhh… erm… alright.”

Sierra hugged me tightly as tears filled her eyes. I sat besides her on the bed.
”I’ve missed you so much… I’m glad you—“
She felt something in her pocket and took it out. It was the envelope I had put in her pocket for her to read later.
”What’s this?”
I took the envelope and ripped it.
”Ahh, it’s nothing! It was just a letter I wrote to you… being sorry for stuff…”
”Oh…”
She was still hugging me tightly then she started looked at my eyes.
”Your eyes… they’re… full of life…”
”Yes, of course they are, were they different before?”
”Yes… But… that’s gone now.”
We talked a bit more then I asked
”Hey, sierra… since I’ve asked you to come… umm… would you like to still travel with me?”
”Of course, Lex.”
”Ah… what about Derr and Silver?”
”I’m sure they’ll come.”
She packed her things and woke up Derr and Silver.
”Good morning, Sierra, Good morning, Silver, Good morning Lex.”
”Good morning, Sierra, Good morning, Derr, Good morning Lex.”

”Lex… LEX?!?!?!” Derr and Silver said together.

They looked at me and I smiled. We talked for a bit about what happened then they packed their stuff. We walked down the hall together and sat in the Main room.
”Onii-chan~!”
Haruki glomped me and smiled. Tai was behind her with a surprised face.
”Hey Lex… You’re alive?”
”Yeah, it seems I am, hahaha.”
I felt something on my lap. I looked down and saw Milkshake cuddling me.
”Oh, Lex.. I’ve missed you so much…”
I smiled and started to stroke Milkshake.

We all talked at the table, then I saw Aaru. Everyone’s voice seemed to have become faint and everything went slow motion. She was walking with a person in a White Napoleon Robe.
”Aaru!! Aaru!!” I called, but no words seem to have come.
”Lex?” Sierra said poking me.
Everything went back to normal speed and the voices became normal. I took a sigh and looked down.
”Lex… Is everything alright?”
”I’m… not sure…”
I looked back up and didn’t see her walking. I put milkshake on the table and got up. Opening the cabin door, I looked outside for her. Left, right, and straight ahead I looked, but I didn’t see her.
”Aaru…” I said softly. I went back in and sat at the same seat. We all talked a bit more and went outside with our stuff. We got off the ship and was now at the Orbis Station.

“Wow! I never seen a station like this before!!” Haruki said with a smile on her face while hugging Milkshake.
”Yep, this is Orbis station. Wait til you see Orbis, Haruki.” Sierra said.
We all walked to Orbis and found a hotel. It was late in the afternoon now, so we all decided to rest at the hotel for a day.

We rented a big room with 6 beds. When we all walked to the room, we all took a gasp at the sight we had. Everyone ran to a bed and called it.
”Aww… Kyuu… I don’t get a bed…?”
”Of course you do, Milkshake” I said to her.
”Really?”
”Yep.”
”You can sleep with anyone, just pick.”
”I pick… You, kyuu~”
”Me?”
”Yes you, kyuu~”
”Ahh… Umm… why not Haruki? Or…”
”That is if you don’t mind… I’ll understand if you aren’t comfortable with me sleeping by your side…”
“Ah, no, no, it’s alright, I’ll let you sleep with me…”
”Okay, kyuu~”

Derr got up and said
”Well, Lex, I got some things to do, I’m going to browse around.”
Soon after, everyone started talking.
”Onii-chan, do you mind if I go out and look at orbis?”
”Oh, not at all.”
”Hey, Haruki, do you mind if I go with you?”
”Not at all, tai, let’s go.”
”Lex, kyuu~ can I go with Haruki?”
”Of course.”
”Hey Lex, I’ll see you later. I’m going to go with Derr.”
”Yeah… Me too.”
”Alright, everyone, here’s the keys in case you come back.”
I gave everyone the hotel key and they made their way. Sierra and Silver went with Derr and Tai with Milkshake went with Haruki.
I sat near the window, looking out at the town of orbis.
”Hmm… Maybe I should take a look around too…” I thought to myself.
I got up and made my way to the door, to exit the hotel.

“Wow, Tai, look at this, and this, and this!!”
”Erm… yeah… those are flowers, Haruki…”
”I know, but they’re so pretty and they smell pretty!!!!”
”This one smells like apples, kyuu~”

Haruki danced around happy from flower patch to flower patch in Orbis, smeeling and adoring the flowers that grew there. Tai followed slowly as he was bored, but he was happy that Haruki was happy.

”Ooo!! And this and this and this and… what the heck is that?”
”What’s wha—“
”Is that poop all over it, kyuu~?”

There before them was a plant called a Nependeath. It looks like your average Flower… kinda. Looks normal right? Well…

”Tai, go over there and say hello to the flower~”
”WHAT?!?!? Why me?”
”Because, you’re my friend, right? Aren’t you my friend…”
”I am, Haruki, I am!”
”Well… Go over and say hi to the flower~”
”Ahh… ugh… fine…”
”Have fun, kyuu~”

Tai walked over slowly to the flower. He got about 5 feet close to it then put up his arm to have hello.
”Hello… flower…”
”Tai!! It can’t hear you! You got to say it louder~!”
”Hello, flower!”
The flower grew about 5 feet big and looked at Tai.
”Erm… Hello, flower? Nice flower…”
The Nependeath got a bit angry due to the fact it was awakened.
”AAAYYYCCCHHHH!! Plloooeee~”
”Nice flower… pretty flo—“
Tai’s face was covered in a brown substance.
”… I hate this, haruki…”
Tai took out his wand and used magic claw on the Nependeath.
”BAD FLOWER!!!!”
The Nependeath was already weakened, so the magic claw ripped the Nependeath to shreds.
”Hahahahaha, I think the flower liked you though, Tai”
”… It’s not funny…”
Tai wiped his face and made his way towards Haruki.
Haruki and Milkshake continued laughing at Tai due to what happened.
”Okay, that’s enough…”
They started to giggle then stopped as they made their way to the shops of Orbis.

“Oh, Derr, look at this, it’s pretty”
”Ah… sure it is”
”Hehe…”
”Hmm, Silver, didn’t you need this?”
”Back in the day, now I got a better weapon.
”Oh, Derr!”
”Yes, Sierra?”
”Look at this wand!! It’s pretty.”
”Umm… That’s a fairy wand…”
”I know, it’s pretty!”
”Erm… okay… hmm, wonder what the have in the armor shop?”
”Let’s go check.”
”Yay, let’s go!”

Derr, Sierra, and Silver made their way from the weapon shop to the armor shop.
”Their armor are too low level”
”Hey Derr, how does this look?”
”Umm… Sierra… That’s for mages… and how did you change so quickly into it?”
”Hmm… how did she change so quickly into it?”
”Oh, look at this!”
”Wow… she can dress quick…”
”Don’t look at Sierra dressing, Silver! Unless you’re a pervert… hehehe.”
”Erm… Not looking, not looking… Looking… Not looking!!”
”Okay, I’m done trying everything on, let’s go somewhere else!”
”Okay… let’s go.”
They walked around, looking at the scenery of Orbis.

Hmm… Where should I go…
I thought to myself as I walked down the street of Orbis.
What the… What’s… this?
