The Jet engine was completed and installed on the plane Shino's going to use and Aistel are getting ready to go to the Cliff Wall to attempt assassinating the Demon general
With Shino sitting on the dining table sipping coffee and her sister cleaning up the dishes Aistel stop by the door and said, "Shino… I'm going with…."
Before Aistel even finish speaking Shino replied, "No, I'm not taking anyone with me"
"Wait how did you know?" Aistel asked
"The second in command of the royal army, Aistel Branum, asked permission to leave the country to accompany the mighty one in their journey" Shino replied
"It was the talk of the town you know, I know you have a connection to the royal family but I didn't think you are a second in command of the royal army" Shino added
"But I got the permission of the queen, I can come with you" Aistel replied
"God… How I wish you will miss your shot, I'm not taking anyone with me, I never plan to take anyone and I never will be" Shino replied
"Why?!" Aistel asked
"Because it's illogical, if the demon country are over that cliff wall that means me and my friend are going to this place, you can just wait here since at the end of the journey we are going to be back here, I'll stop over and say hi or something, don't worry" Shino replied
"I'll take the shot and hop aboard of your flight, whether you like it or not I'll come with you!" Aistel said as he slam the door and leave the house
Shino just sighed and said, "What are you a kid?"
Since Aisha is worried about his brother she asked, "If I may ask, why won't you let him come with you?"
Shino look at her and said, "Because he has a family here"
"Uhm… If you think I'm not agreeing with his request, I actually want him to accompany you too, after all you spent days with us, share food with us, slept under the same roof, since us elf has no great sense of time because of our long life we cherish everyone we met, to me you are like an important member of the family, I'm sure my brother feels the same" Aisha replied
Shino finished his coffee and said, "I'm glad you think that way, but this place is a ticking time bomb, at any moment demons can breach through that wall and the first country to fall is this place, if I take your brother who are going to take care of you? Call it an exaggeration but it is never bad to be overly cautious"
A knife went pass through Shino's neck and graze it, then Aisha replied, "I guess you still don't know but we are well trained to survive a demon attack, don't look down on me Shino-san"
Shino just laugh and said, "Don't underestimate the demon's too Aisha-san"
"It is true I lack information about other races but that is exactly why I am overly cautious to every races specially the demons, have you ever ask yourself or anyone what is a demon exactly?" Shino added
"Where are you going with this Shino-san?" Aisha replied
"Think about it, what exactly classify as a demon? Is it their beast like form with human intelligence, has a horn and wings? That's the beast people. Is it because Demons live longer life but not exactly as long as an elf? That's the dwarf you're talking about. The ones that has desire of evil deeds and want to conquer land? That's us humans. Different color blood? That's a monster. All of the above? Then why isn't every race consider as a demons?" Shino replied
Shino get up and added, "If what I know is right the word demon is created to classify a specific race by us Humans, It is what we do after all, we discriminate those who look different from us and give them title that they will bare whether they like it or not"
Shino leave the house with Aisha baffled and start to set up the plane he is going to use while Aistel are running toward the Cliff Wall as fast as he can
Due to his training with the sniper, Aistel's Agility greatly increase resulting to speed and accuracy humanly impossible, or rather on Aistel's case, Elf-ly impossible
Shino found a plane large enough to use as a runway for his airplane and at the moment Shino took out his jet, an arrow with explosive charge in from almost hit Shino's jet but luckily he catch it
"Aisha… what in the world are you trying to do?" Shino asked as he break the arrow he catch
Though Aisha usually wear frilly dresses normally the Aisha that Shino saw only wear a few protective armour and wield a bow and a dagger
"You're taking my brother or you're not going anywhere, that's what I decided" Aisha said with a smile
Shino just laugh and said, "Ahh! What is up with you siblings"
Shino bring out her swords and clash with Aisha
Meanwhile on the Cliff wall the guards on the top off the wall saw Aisha dashing towards the wall and said, "Oh? It's Aistel-sama, Why is he on the hurry?"
"You don't know? Aistel-sama is going to quit the rank to do adventuring, today is the day that summoned person going to leave, so he must be in a hurry"
As the soldier's finish chit chatting Aistel burst upward from the wall and shock all the soldiers
"One-Shot, I'll finish my job with one Shot, and I'll come rushing towards you Shino, even if I need to cling on to this plane of yours, you'll take me with you" Aistel screamed
Aistel landed with a T-pose and immediately preparing to take his shot, with the Bi-pod on the edge of the wall and perfectly positioning himself as if he is a trained Sniper
Aistel took a deep breath and shoot
*Cling*
Shino parry Aisha's barrage of explosive arrows with his two swords and even cast ˹Air Cut˼ to offset Aisha's aim
"I'll buy my brother time to even manage to cling into your plane" Aisha shouted as she roll on the ground
"What is up with you siblings, besides if he just cling to my jet he will die" Shino replied
"My brother always dream of traveling around the world, He's always snoopy when it comes to the other continents and kept on wanting to hear adventurers stories, that is why he is always on the adventurer guild, He might be stupid sometime but he always put me first, but this time…" Aisha said
At the night before Aistel came to present the weapon Shino made
"Aisha, I think I need to come with Shino, No… I want to join Shino on his travels, this is a bit selfish but…" Aistel said
But before Aistel finishes Aisha replied, "I won't stop you, but that is if Shino want to take you"
"Eh… you think he won't bring me?" Aistel asked
"Well… taking a closer look on the plane he is making, I think only one person can fit, so I think he won't bring you" Aisha replied
"Ahhhh…. Now you said it… I really wish Shino can make a room for one more" Aistel replied
Aisha smiled and said, "Maybe we can convince him"
~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
"This time my brother wished something for himself, as her sister who always on the receiving end, I'll make this one came true even if it mean I need to embed his dream to your head" Aisha shouted
Aisha pull her bow near breaking point and enchanted her arrow and said, "Elven Archery: ˹Wind breaker˼"
The arrow flew so fast that Shino cannot even react and hit Shino in the forehead
"So fast… it's as if… the arrow came from a Gun" Shino said to himself as he fell down
Aistel shot were fire so is Aisha, Aistel hit the goblin king's heart, Killing it completely and making the rest of the goblin disperse and retreat, hence after months of endless battle they can finally say that they win the battle
Aisha's shot hit Shino's head and Aisha start to poke Shino who are lying down with a stick
"I'm still alive, you don't need to literally embed it to my head" Shino replied
"So are you taking my brother?" Aisha asked as she draw another arrow and point it on Shino's heart
"What? If I say no you're going to make it a heartfelt dream? No thanks" Shino replied with a smile
"If you are this insisting, I might as well take him with me, jeez… you siblings are really something" Shino added
Aistel came running with exhausted face and saw Shino fixing the jet and said while panting, "Stop…. You… take me… or else…eh?"
At further look Shino seems to be waiting there drinking coffee with her sister who are in her battle uniform and said, "What the heck happen?"
"I lost a bet with your sister and now I need to take you" Shino replied
"Bet? What bet?" Aistel asked
"Whether your sister looks good in a Bikini armour or not" Shino replied with a straight face
Aistel got mad and shot a bullet through Shino's head and said, "Hentai!"
"Shino, stop teasing my brother, Aistel I manage to convince Shino with a little… love…" Aisha replied
"Love? Wait Shino… why do you have an arrow stuck your head?" Aistel asked
"This is her love" Shino said with a straight face
"Uhm… yeah… somewhat… sorry" Aistel replied
"Enough fooling around, everyone is here, why not get going" Aisha shouted
"Fine, fine… Aistel say goodbye to your sister, you will be gone for a while after all" Shino said as he pull the arrow out of his head
Shino jump into the plane and start to warm up the engine while Aistel approach her sister
"Aisha… I'll be going now, take care of yourself"
"Have a safe trip brother, please come back safe"
Aistel was about leave but her sister suddenly grab him with a gloomy face and Aistel also find hard to say goodbye to her sister, so he grab her sister and hug her tightly
Shino who are inside the plane saw the two and think, "Saying goodbye to someone dear to you is the most painful thing to do but a must one; these siblings really love each other"
Aistel let go of Aisha and hop on to the back of Shino where he added a second seat and begin to propel the jet and close the cockpit windshields
Aisha wave at his brother as he slowly take off and can't help but cry, Aistel also are waving back ad trying to stop crying
Shino handed Aistel a headphone and told to put it on and upon putting it on Aistel can clearly hear Shino
"It's okay to cry Aistel, don't worry I swear that I will bring you back to your family safe and sound" Shino said
"Thank you Shino for accepting our request, from here on out, look after me" Aistel replied
"Roger, by the way, take off is going to be bumpy so brace yourself" Shino replied
As the plane slowly gain momentum and finally take off after a bumpy ride they circle around Shogusha once before heading off to their journey
