Hi! At last! I finally finish writing this chapter. I don't know if it's good.

So, yeah, this will serve like a book two but I won't change the numbering of the chapter.

Please enjoy~

Chapter 9

Three months have passed since that day… the day when Shade and Fine got separated from each other and the day the twin sisters have finally reunited.

The sisters should be back in the castle but, something went wrong. Many things had happened on their journey way home. Monsters are everywhere and attacking them which made their journey hard.

When Fine learned that they were attacked by those creatures was because they wanted her back in the dark castle, her fear grew and leave her only nightmares. Since they are all around wherever they go, she decided to overcome her fear and promise to herself to protect her love ones. Remembering that she was taught by Shade to defend herself, she got a bit braver and got determined to learn more about fighting.

Fine, thinking that she doesn't want anyone to get harm by those creatures, chose not to go back home and decided to eliminate the monsters. Rein, her twin, decided to stay by her side. As for Bright, he decided to stay with the twins to make sure they're safe, even if that means he'll be late a year or two from going home.

Fine, along with her sister, Rein, and the traveler, Bright, will fight and defend themselves from the monsters.

Their adventure begins.

Rein's POV

"Argh, I'm tired. I think they keep on increasing." Fine said complaining, fresh from a fight with a monster.

Yes, you read it right. She could now fight a monster… even without our help.

How'd it happen? I don't really know.

All I can remember is one day she's scared and the next day she's begging Bright to make her stronger. I was surprised myself that my sister has changed a lot. She's not the Fine who's a scaredy cat anymore, but the brave Fine. Well, as for me, I still love the new her…

But even though she improves I, as her twin sister, will still keep a watch on her.

"Rein, why are you smiling like that? It's creepy you know! So stop it."

"Hehe, sorry! I just thought that you really have change."

"I-it's for the better though." She said while staring at the ground. I smiled to her.

Suddenly, Bright came with some fruits at his hand.

"Rein, I brought some fruits for snacks so you two should eat some. And woah, Fine… why do you look so sweaty?"

"Ah, well, another monster came. It's a good exercise fighting it though! Hehe"

"*sigh* but you should be careful too. Fighting them is not like a play. One wrong move and they'll take you away."

"I know. But I got Rein by my side! Right, Rein?"

"Y-yes! I'll never let anything bad happen to my sister."

"*sigh* you two really are twins."

"Bright, can we go home now? I'm tired from all the fighting. We've been here for like 6 to 8 hours!"

"Alright."

Yes, you read it right again. We have a home now in a nearby town. We're living there for two months. We decided to live there since the rent is affordable and people there are really nice.

Other than us, hunters begin living there too since it is near in the forest. Not like in our kingdom, you need to walk for thirty minutes before you reach it.

After encountering the monsters, they decided to live there to protect the town and mainly to easily go to the forest, obviously, to eliminate some of the monsters.

Fine's POV

Before going home (the one in town), I slash the two sharp teeth of the monster I got killed. Rein did it too to the one she killed earlier. We sell those teeth in a shop for money. That shop will sell it to others. People who buy it will either use it for decoration or make something out of it like weapons or accessories. Other hunters do it too.

Those people living in the town… we never told them that those monsters are lurking around to find me.

*sigh* I don't know why they are targeting me. How did I know that?

Well, that time is the second day of our journey back home when a flying creature, just like before, attacks us. Rein and I take a step back away while Bright fought it. But when that thing saw me, it flied towards me and got me by its claw. Fortunately, Rein got a sharp stick and pierced it in its rib, which cause it to fall on the ground.

That moment, I thought it was just a coincidence until the same thing happened on the third day. They only want me. I don't know why. I don't even remember doing horrible things to make them act like this towards me.

What's within me? What do they like to get from me? I want to know. If only there is someone who could help me.

"At last, we're here." Rein said thankfully and made me come to my senses.

"Oh, you're right." I said as I gaped at the place.

Whaat?! Did I get too deep from my thought that I never notice we're here?!

"Let's sell these now! So we could buy things we need tomorrow."

"Are you really that excited?" I asked her.

"Of course I am! We could finally buy new outfits and all the foods you want."

I just rolled my eyes since she's using my weakness. Bright is just watching us happily like we were a show.

At the shop—

"These would be **** yen."

"Really?" we said in chorus.

"Waaaaah, I could buy dresses I could use for a month or two with that!" I glared at her as she said it. "W-well, of course I won't do it. That's just for example. Ehehe"

"Thank you mister. This would help us a lot." Bright said to the owner of the shop.

"No, no. You work hard for that so it deserves you."

"Goodbye!"

*fast forward*

"Yayyy, so nice to be in bed~" Rein said rolling at her bed.

"Rein, are we really able to defeat all of them?" I asked. She sits down and became serious.

"Fine, don't let your hopes fade. I know this will end soon… and when that time comes, we could finally go back to our kingdom."

"You're right! We should end this so we could reunite with our parents. I wonder if they're doing fine."

"I miss them too. I know they're doing alright so don't worry."

"Thanks for comforting me." I'm so lucky I have a twin sister like her.

"Anytime! We should get some rest now. Goodnight!"

"Goodnight!" I said as I lay down to my bed.

As I close my eyes, an image of a certain person appeared.

'Agh, Where is he now? I really want to see him so badly. I wonder what he is doing… I hope he's alright.' I thought and went to sleep.
