Chapter 40 - Chapter 40

"Profit!? People's lives are not like that! A person's life cannot be bought with money!"

"But you are reviving them for free."

"What is wrong with you Mello?"

"You two. What are you doing? Stop."

Takao halted before he could revive anyone.

"Ah... Come on. I am just saying that we could make money. A large amount of money! Just by reviving people, you know? Nobles are like that! They will want to revive people! Their members. They would pay large sums for somebody's life. So yeah. Life itself could be bought at the right price."

"Why did you suddenly became like this!?"

He then grabbed him.

"Huh? You know. My father used to tell me. Everything could be turned into profit. And such thing like this! We really must make money with it!"

"Then your father is a scumbag!"

"What!? Take that back."

"No. You and your father are alike I guess."

"You..."

"Stop, both of you!"

They then halted on their tracks to fighting.

"Fine then. I won't revive anyone. Stop."

"But... Takao."

"You can't get anything for free. Right. Master?"

"Just stop. But I will revive your mother. Martin. That is a deal."

"Thank you."

"What is your mother's name? Martin?"

Said by Mello.

"That's none of your business."

"Come on. I wanted to know too."

"Um... Karina. That's her name."

"Karina?"

"Yes. Any problem with that?"

"Hmm... If my memories were correct. I heard my father mumble something... Hmm... What was it??? Ah! " sorry. Karina for leaving you and our son." Something like that."

"Wait. My mother told me that my father left us when my little brother is just a baby."

"Really?"

"Hey. Both of you."

"Wait is it? Master?"

"By any chance. You could be actual brothers."

"What!? Wait! Are you sure, master?"

"I said, "by chance". Right?"

"Yeah..."

"Then. We really have to revive my mother. What is your father's name?"

"Leo."

"Then. We should revive both of them."

"Yeah! I know my father's grave. They are able to retrieve his body at least when he is killed by a monster as an adventurer. That left me sad when I was just eight years old though."

"I see. Mom died when I was ten."

"Fine then. Let's revive them."

"Now. Things are good. We will go to Gallensia. Take Agane with us, revive your father, and you will also fight Valentina on our way home. That woman is such a headache."

"Is it true!? Master? I will be her boyfriend when I defeated her?"

"Yeah. Just get rid of her. I have a wife now."

"But you are not yet married with that kid right?"

"Yeah. But she's gonna be pregnant after a few days."

"Seriously. Takao?"

"Yeah. Call me whatever you like."

"Hah! That means we're going to Gallensia now. Huh?"

"Yeah. We have a week before Tal arrives after all."

"Let's tell others first."

"No need. Let's go. I will open up a portal to Agane. I know his location."

"How?"

"Just follow me."

A blueish portal then appeared.

They got through it and found themselves in a smithing chamber.

"Where are we?"

"Agane."

"Huh? Ah! Who are you!?"

"Relax."

"Master. We didn't meet him before. How?"

"Just. Don't. Ask."

"Yes."

"I came for your talent."

"What?"

"I came for you. Your higher-ups should have told you by now. Right?"

"You are?"

"The Mage King."

He immediately knelt.

"I had received it. I'm now under you."

"Good. Very well. Follow me to my kingdom."

They then all proceeds to the portal once more and Agane took his things with him.

After a while.

"This is your place. I had prepared this yesterday I wanted to give you something too later on when I arrived."

"Yes. Thank you."

"Before the night goes. We have to get going."

"Yes."

"You could do anything here. But. Please don't work for now. You should take your time enjoying things around here first. If you hate being here. Tell me. Or if you need friends. I will take your smithing buddies too."

"Yes. I will think about it first."

"Very well. Enjoy."

"Thank you."

And they left once more.

"Where's next?"

"To your father's grave."

"Oh! Let's go then!"

They arrived somewhere in the city they had been into before. Fuanor.

"Well. Where should we look first? Mello?"

Said by Martin.

"Don't be impatient. Um... There. That way. I still remember it."

"Fine then. We will go with you."

After a bit of walking. They are currently in a crowd of people. After then. They found themselves at the gate of the arena.

There. Many cheerful voices could be heard.

"I wonder who is fighting right now."

Mello then asked the guard.

"May I ask who is currently fighting?"

"It is Ms Valentina. She is fighting a fellow ten-star adventurer right now."

"Whoa! Master! let's watch it first!"

"No need. I don't want to do such an unnecessary thing right now. Let's go on."

As they are walking.

"Hmm... I wonder if she will win."

"She would. You see. She had been good on a fight with Takao. There is no way that she will lose."

"Yeah! Later! I will defeat her! Wahahaha!"

"Come on. Shut up, Mello."

"Yes, boss!"

"..."

"Stop acting childing Mello. You are irritating Takao. And if you really are my brother. I won't accept your kind of brother."

"Aahhh! Come on! Don't say such a harsh thing to me!"

"Will you please shut up? Let's walk quietly. I am not good at loud places."

"Eh... Sorry... Hehe."

"Sorry."

"Let's just go."

And they silently walk while following Mello since he is the one who knew their destination.

"This is the place."

"Really?"

"Umu!"

"I see. Let's go."

They entered the graveyard and proceeds to find Mello's father.

"Are you sure you knew where it is located?"

"Ah... Yeah! Trust me!"

As he stood straight proudly and smiling.

"There!"

"Let's go Takao."

"..."

They proceed and stood beside that grave.

"If this person is not your father. We will kill him. Okay?"

"Umm... Umu."

"Alright."

Takao then removed the earth with his magic.

He then lifted the body which is just bones now using air.

"I will revive him."

"Yes!"

"Mm!"

The body then proceeds to retain its previous flesh and completely became a human again. Takao then just placed it low so that they could see.

It suddenly opens his eyes which shocked the two since this is the first time they saw it.

The revived person then proceeds to sit.

"Who are you?"
