Kelvin and Rex watch this scene as they look at each other and a smirk appeared on their face. The two started whispering.
'Tsk, tsk, tsk, I didn't think that my sister have fallen.'(Kelvin)
'Sigh... brother Kelvin, your sister is a bit too late. My elder sister was his fiance, she needs to find another else.'(Rex)
'What are you talking about brother Rex? Is Polygamy banned from humans?'(Kelvin)
'You are really smart brother Kelvin, nonetheless your sister will need to make an aggressive move or that dense devil will not notice her. Sigh... I remember what my sister have done just to... Sigh'(Rex)
'Leave that to me.'(Kelvin)
If Falkor heard that his grandson is acting like a pimp to her sister, he will skin him alive and probably be killed. Kelvin did not know that he is one step closer to death.
Astelle was really embarrassed on what happened on her. She looks at the real culprit with a cold look.
"K-E-L-V-IN!!!"(Astelle)
Rex and Kelvin shivered when they felt a predatory gaze on both of them.
""Gulp!""
"Go-go-good night brother Rex, I feel a bit sleepy."(Kelvin)
Kelvin ignored her sister and say goodbye to Rex. Without waiting for his reply, Kelvin immediately run to the stairs leading to his room.
"Come back here!!"(Astelle)
Astelle instantly followed him. Not long after Rex can hear wailings and begging upstairs.
"Good night brother, rest in peace."(Rex)
Rex solemnly pray. He also got up from the sofa and head to Argus's room. Rex knock at the door.
Knock
Knock
Knock
"I'm coming in!"(Rex)
Rex turned the door knob but it won't budge.
Knock
Knock
Knock
"I said I'm coming in. Why did you lock it? Unlock the door so I can enter."(Rex)
Rex waited for a while but he heard no movements.
"F***! I know that you are still awake. Open the door!"(Rex)
Bang
Bang
Bang
"Are you saying that you really want me to sleep at the sofa. You heartless devil! Are you venting on me your grievance?! F*** you! Tsk."(Rex)
After trying to open the door one more time and failing, Rex immediately gave up.
"Sigh... Sofa it is!"(Rex)
Rex look at the sofa and release a long sigh. Although a bit early, he lie down and closed his eyes to sleep. If other people knows that the young master of the Obscurite Clan let him sleeps on the sofa as a guest, I do not know what would they think.
{Argus's POV}
Argus is currently checking the notification he received in his status window. The thing that happened between him and Astelle was put on the back of his mind.

After that he started reading novel and sleep not long after.

The next day...
Argus got up early, it is 5:00 AM in the morning so he got up. Opening the door, he saw Astelle walking down from the stairs. The two make an eye contact and Astelle immediately move her gaze away.
"I apologize on how I act last night. I know that it's not your fault."(Astelle)
Astelle apologized albeit in a weak voice. Fortunately, Argus has keen senses and he accepted her apology. He knows that Astelle was in a position to get mad at him since from others perspective Argus would look like taking advantage on Astelle."
"Fine and I also apologize."(Argus)
"Thank you but why are you apologizing?"(Astelle)
"Nevermind."(Argus)
"Okay, let me wash up first."
Argus did not explain and he just nodded. Astelle heads to the bathroom while Argus went to the sofa to check Rex. Rex was still sleeping peacefully covered in a blanket. Argus put the blanket before he goes to sleep last night.
"I'm finished."
Not long after, Astelle finish his business at the bathroom. Argus then enter the bathroom while Astelle starts preparing to cook.
After an hour, the food was ready. Kelvin and Rex was also awake and they eat their breakfast.
"Our plan for today is finish our rank up Quest. How about you two?"(Kelvin)
"I will go back, I won't be seeing you guys till the entrance exam. Arcana Academy right?"
"Yes, that's our granpa's condition for us. To enroll there."(Astelle)
"How about you Argus?"(Kelvin)
"Train and level up. I probably won't be back until I reach level 25."(Argus)
"Hmm that will take a while. Are you sure you will gonna be fine in the forest? Although the beast on the periphery is all Rank 1 beast. Night is still more dangerous than daylight."(Kelvin)
"I'm gonna be fine. Don't worry."(Argus)
"If you say so."(Kelvin)
Kelvin look at his sister. Astelle was looking at Argus and was in a deep thought. They finished eating and cleaning the dishes.
"So it's time huh, thank you for taking me in. Especially your cooking lady Astelle. I wish you luck on your journey, you can do it. Goodbye brother Kelvin and lady Astelle, you too lazy devil. See you at the academy!"(Rex)
"Goodbye brother."(Kelvin)
"I do not like to see you again, mooch."(Argus)
Kelvin laughed on the side. Astelle also bid h goodbye. She was a bit in a deep thought about why is Rex cheering on him that he did not even notice that Argus was also on his way.
"-ster!"
"Sister!"
"Oi Astelle!"(Kelvin)
Bang!
"You're too loud! What is it?!"(Astelle)
Kelvin who was smacked in the head graced in pain could only smile bitterly on his sister.
"Argus was also gone. He was bidding goodbye but your mind is flying elsewhere."(Argus)
"What?! Why didn't you tell me?!"(Astelle)
"I was calling you but you are not listening, you even smack me after that."(Kelvin)
"What?!"(Astelle)
She tried to find Argus silhouette but it looks like he is already gained a bit of distance from them.
"Sigh..."(Astelle)
"Do not be sad sister, you can see him after a few days or week... By the way, I have learned that Argus has a fiance and it's Rex's sister. Still, both of us brothers are rooting for you!"(Kelvin)
Kelvin immediately run inside the house. Astelle just stand there in a daze.
"So he has a fiance, huh. Didn't think that man can have a fiance. And why are they telling me this? Humph... Are you making fun of me?"(Astelle)
Yare, yare... It looks like there plan will not be realized for a while.
{Argus's POV}
Argus is currently in the forest running, with Astrea on his side. The two is currently heading near a falls a bit deeper in this forest. Argus plans to stay there until he reach his goal of level 25.
They both traveled 3 hours because of some monster who attacks them. Also the falls is a bit far from the city. Argus and Astrea is currently eating a boar meat that she caught on the way.
"Astrea, you can hunt within 2 kilometers here for the day. Just make sure not to enter the part of the part where there is taller trees. That is the outer part of the forest and all the monster there has reach Core Forging Realm and above. No, you still need to be careful. The beast here almost reach the next realm."
Astrea just nod, after that she lay down and sleep. Argus just look at her and started setting up the tent and the beast alarming device he bought yesterday. When he came back he didn't see Astrea.
He looks at his status window and he saw the Exp notifications keep ringing from time to time. Argus is not worried about Astrea since it looks like she was very smart. He can also saw her HP bar and can sense her location as long as Astrea is in 5 km radius l. So if something dangerous happens to her, he can rush to help.
Argus plans to hunt during daytime and train his Scythe weapon during evening. Today he is not planning to hunt but to familiarize himself in his surroundings that Argus already did after setting up the beast alarming device.

Argus bought these items with the money he received from the GM. He did not bought those more expensive items although they gave more comfort and safety. He is here to train and not really to camp.
