Chereads / Close Combat Summoner: The Way Of The Unrivaled / Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: You Came back

Chapter 23 - Chapter 23: You Came back

The sun rises, Argus got up to warm-up. Although he will not hunt for today, he will not neglect his warm-up routine. After coming back from the exercise, he saw the food Astelle prepares. After showering, Astelle asks him to eat with her and he accepted it.

Argus is not a cold person he was just one of those people who does not care at something he does not have interest with, so he sometimes answer a bit bluntly to others. Argus knows that this twins can be trustworthy because of his intuition and his experience. He will not initiate a conversation with them since they are not that close. However if they want to talk to him he will not ignore them.

"Oh you're on a casual clothes... Not going to level up?"(Astelle)

Argus was in a casual clothes since he did not plan to level up like what Astelle said.

"Yeah, I plan to find a blacksmith who will forge me my weapon."(Argus)

Kelvin who just woke up heard them talking while brushing his teeth.

"Oh... Forgive me for asking but what type of weapon are you gonna want them to forged?"(Astelle)

Ding! Dong!

Before Argus answer, someone's ringed the doorbell.

"A guest? Does any of you expect a guest today? I will open it."(Astelle)

Astelle got up to open the door. There she saw a handsome young man with dark hair and dark pair of eyes staring blankly at her. She knows what the young man is thinking but she was already getting used off stare like this.

"Ahem... Do you need something?"(Astelle)

The young man also started coughing to hide his embarrassment.

"Ahem... Is Argus living here? I'm his friend Rex. I'm sorry for my rude behavior but my friend didn't tell me that there is a goddess living here."(Rex)

The handsome man was none other than Rex. Rex was surprise that Argus is leaving with a very beautiful lady since his friend didn't tell about it.

'Who is this lady here? She's as beautiful as my... That d*mn lucky bast*rd!'(Rex)

Astelle was also surprised that the man in front of him is Argus's friend.

'I didn't think that Argus has friend.'(Astelle)

"Ahem... Is that so?"(Astelle)

"Yes, I apologize once again."(Rex)

"Argus! Your friend named Rex is here."(Astelle)

She then motion Rex to enter the house.

"Sorry for the intrusion."(Rex)

{Rex's POV}

Rex entered the house and he saw two young man of his age sitting in a table. Although a bit rude, he immediately pull Argus away from the table while apologizing from the twins.

"I apologize please let me borrow him for a minute."(Rex)

The twins just nodded. After taking a bit of distance he stop.

"Oi, oi, oi, what are you doing?"(Argus)

"What do you mean what I'm doing? Are you kidding me bro, I was planning to surprise you but I was the one that was surprised. I didn't think that you will be luving with a beautiful goddess in a single roof and you didn't even tell me about it."(Rex)

"Huh, are you an idiot? They are just a house border like me. It's just a coincidence."(Argus)

Argus knows what Rex is thinking. He just rolled his eyes at him.

"Anyway let's go back. I'm not finish eating."(Argus)

"Sigh..."(Rex)

Rex just followed Argus back. Looking at the food at the table, Rex felt his hungriness.

"Hello Mr. Rex, do you want to eat? My sister cook this and since your Argus's friend, I invite you to eat with us. Are you fine with that sister?"(Kelvin)

"Yes, I'm fine with it. Please help yourself."(Astelle)

"Then I will take you offer."(Rex)

Argus continued eating while they're having this interaction.

"Let me introduce myself once again, I am Rex Obscurite, Argus Orpheus's brother. Nice meeting you all."

"Tsk."(Argus)

"I am Kelvin Arisia and this is my twin sister. We are Argus's how should I say this... Roommate? Anyway, we three share a life and death battle the other night. Nice to meet you Rex."

"I am Astelle Arisia, Argus's roommate. Likewise, nice to meet your Rex."

Rex was a bit shock. He didn't think that the twins in front of him was also part of that incident that happened the other night.

"Iya... I didn't think that you two are part of the incident."(Rex)

"Well, things just happened. Also we twins owe Argus a favor for saving my sister's life."(Kelvin)

Astelle on the side also nodded. Rex look at his friend who currently eating.

Gaze...

"What's your problem? Aren't you going to eat? The food will get cold."(Argus)

"Feigning ignorance. Just so like you. Thanks for the food"(Rex)

Rex also start eating. After tasting the food, his eyes widens.

"Delicious."(Rex)

"Thank you very much."(Astelle)

"Let's talk after we finish eating."(Kelvin)

***

"What brought you here?"(Argus)

"Huh? What are you talking about? Have you forgotten? I said that I will ask the blacksmith that my father know to forge me my twin daggers. I also added that I will visit you before I go. Did you forget it or did you not hear it? Sigh..."(Rex)

"Did you say that? Anyway, I also plan to find other blacksmith other than what you recommended. He attacked me last night although it's my fault for entering without his permission. I do not want to go back again on that place. Tsk."(Argus)

"By the way Argus, what type of weapon do you want to be forged?"(Kelvin)

"It's not really a secret since you will probably see me anyway. The weapon I want is Scythe, specifically I want them to forge me Long Scythe..."(Argus)

"Long Scythe, huh. From what I know, only small part of blacksmith know how to forge one. Long Scythe user is very rare after all. So almost all the blacksmith did not know how to properly forge one. Only those very talented locksmith no how to forge any type of weapons."(Kelvin)

"This brother here is right, I think that eccentric blacksmith you made is the only one I know how to forge any kind of weapon. Even my father respect that man."(Rex)

"I will still try to find other blacksmith. It's also my rest day so I plan to tour this side of the city. If I really didn't find other blacksmith then I can only go back to that Old Dwarf."(Argus)

"Then I will accompany you, I also do not have another plan beside trying to ask that blacksmith to forge my weapon. I'm also tired leveling up this past few days."(Rex)

"Can we also both come with you? We also want to tour this side of the city."(Kelvin)

The twins plan was to complete their real ranking up Quest for today but it can wait since the academy will start 2 weeks from now. They are not in a rush. Astelle also agreed.

"No problem, no problem. I get this feeling that we will get along very well."(Rex)

"Oh, You get that feeling too. I thought I was the only one. It's a very strange feeling. Hahaha"(Kelvin)

Rex and Kelvin then walk side by side while happily talking. Even forgetting Argus and Astelle. Astelle was dumbfounded on how the two act, specifically his brother. It was her first time seeing him act like this.

Normally, Kelvin will just act out of politeness but this time her brother is acting with his true self with the person he just met.

'Sigh... So weird. As long as his having fun.'(Astelle)

Astelle look but the person beside her. She saw Argus calmly staring Kelvin and Rex. Feeling the gaze beside him, Argus look at his side and they made a eye contact. Astelle immediately look away. Argus was puzzled.

"Let's follow the two of them."(Argus)

"Yes."(Astelle)

The squad tour The Eastern part of the city. They enter some weapon shops, food shops, and even clothing store while finding a blacksmith that can forge a long Scythe.

Argus did not forget to include Astrea, with the food they bought. Soulbound can see what their Master can see if they are in the Soul Sea.

"Look at that, they look so handsome."

"Wow look at that girl... So beautiful!"

"Tsk, I'm more handsome than that heterochromia guy."

"Yeah, that guy is lucky. He can walk side by side with a beautiful girl."

The squad was also getting too much attention since the basically a group of two handsome men and a beautiful lady. Argus is not included since his appearance was a just a bit above the threshold of handsomeness. He ignored the envy and weird look of people to him. Argus does not care on other people's opinion.

They tour Western City for the whole day. Although Argus did not find the blacksmith he wants. He still enjoyed the tour, specially the food they have eaten. The four of them also became closer that if you ask other people they look like a group of friends having fun.

They still didn't forget their purpose especially Argus.

"Looks like you have no other choice."(Rex)
