Chapter 8 - Chapter 8: Sweat Home...

## Figure it out yourselves 

'Urgh! I really can t get used to this feeling.' The feeling as if your body has been torn apart and reconstructed. Laid behind the air conditioner unit. Ely was still asleep. And seems like it's already daytime.

'Not only does my body hurt, but this heat is unbearable as well.' This place is really warm. I even had the thought of returning but shook my head, cooling off with a little frost fire.

'Hm? Oh yeah i got a new tail.' But if my hunch is correct then, yeah, it's there. A new orb beside my blue frost fire orb and grey transformation orb. It was yellow. No wait, it looked to be golden color. Or maybe yellow. Uh, forget it, it's something something yellow and something something golden. I will just think of it as golden.

'So what can this thing do?' I tried to use it.

But... unlike the other two orbs i cant seem to control the orbs energy.

'How tricky...' Every orbs abilities are a little bit different and thus you use them in different ways. This one seem to flow towards my nose. And then dissipate without doing anything. 

'Is there a requirement to this ability?' But how do i know what's the requirement to use it?

'Urgh! Forget it. Let Ely wake up first then figure out.' I waited for Ely to wake up. 

When Ely woke up she scrutinized her face due to the uncomfortable pain. So, i helped her by cooling down the place a bit.

After that we came down and took our things from under the dumpster, took the human form and wore our cloths. After everything was done we sat behind the dumpster and setting aside our helmets.

"Why cant use this ability..." Ely seemed to have noticed that we cant use our abilities.

"I also can't use it. I dissipates near my nose area."

Ely fell in to deep thought.

Looking at Ely i realized we might have grown up a little. We look maybe an year or two older. Evolution does change our height.

As i was measuring our heights Ely suddenly seemed to have an epiphany.

"Maybe the energy needs to come in contact with some thing." Ely deducted.

Sounds reasonable.

"But to contact with what?"

"That's the problem... though i do wonder... what are the colors of all your orbs?" She asked.

Color?

"The frost fire one is Sky blue. And then there is the grey colored for the transformation. The last one is Yellowish-goldenish something." I described. 

"Is that so?" Ely seem be thinking something as she made the face of what a detective would make.

"Is something wrong?" I asked

"My frost fire and transformation abilities are the same color but my last ability orb is a mixture of black and red."

Hearing Ely's word i couldn't help but also feel it was weird.

If me and Ely have develop the same ability and if me and Ely even share the same levels, the same evolution. Then why is the color different this time? 

"asdjsak akdaksjd!" Suddenly we heard an unfamiliar voice. Looking back i realized a man who seemed to be checking out the trash. He had a formal uniform on him and seemed to be the trash collector.

I looked at Ely. She seems to be confused as well.

However looking back at the mans face he seemed to be telling us something with an expression you would do when you talk to children.

'Oh, wait a minutes we do look like children.' Ely seemed to have realized that as well so she took her belongings and the helmet. I did the same. Giving the man a formal bow we exited the space.

The man also gave us a kind smile and waved at us which seemed to be he was saying goodbye.

'Urgh i really need to learn the language of this world.' 

.

## Let see... 

After getting out of the alleyway , we were on the road again. Walking along the bus streets. But unlike yesterday night we were somehow getting more looks now that we didn't have our masks on. That's odd. Maybe it's the fur cloths. They were made with beast pelt's, after all.

"kasjda kalsjd kj" Suddenly a woman showed up in front of us.

"Ashj lkajs kajsd" She seemed to be a police officer.

"Do you know what she is saying?" I whispered to Ely.

"Mhm..." Ely didn't seem to have an idea as well.

"Um... aaa... unga asd bsd something like that?" I tried to communicate waving my hand.

"Pft!" Hearing Ely's suppressed laughter from behind i couldn't help but feel my ears heat up. 

*pat!*

Suddenly the woman patted me in the head. She had a very kind expression butt there was something else as well. Is she trying not to laugh?

"Grrr!!!" But before i could do something Ely shoved me behind her as she growled.

'Yeah Ely show her...'

Ely seemed pretty displeased with the woman. 

.

### Dunno 

After talking with the woman or at least i would assume what we did was communicating. After all i didn't understand it very well.

She i assume she was looking for our parents which looking at our appearance i would too. But after some unsuccessful attempt to relay to her that we don't have a parent i gave up.

Afterwards she took us to what i assume is the police station. And well, she looked pretty professional so i went along.

Ely also didn't seem to reject the idea of going along with the police. And we also got some free candy. It was good. Especially when we were eating barely burnt food for so many day's.

So yeah win win.

At the end of the day, the police woman who took us here came back along with a frowning face. She said something which i didn't understand.

And now we are in front of a weird place. It looks like a school.

"Why are we, in a school, again?" I whispered to Ely.

"Dunno, looks like a orphanage. The police woman must have taken us here to give us a temporary shelter while she finds our non existent parents. " 

Uh, that makes sense.

And that seems to be the case. 

.

### Officer POV

It's so sad that such small and cute children got lost. And their parents aren't even looking for them. It's such a saddening news.

Worse yet they might be foreigners, as i cant understand their language. This is pure cruelty. What kind of person leaves such cute children out in the streets.

For now i managed to get them a temporary shelter in the nearby orphanage. They should be fine there until i get to their family.

Just wait till i get the parents of the children. I will beat the shit out of them.. 

.

### Sia POV 

Finally we were given a room. Finally i can sleep in a fluffy bed. It's just these children are overbearing. The room we were given had already two children in them. And the two girls are looking a us weirdly. I don't know why.

Ely doesn't seem to be bothered by it as she is already asleep on the soft bed.

I sat up and looked at the girls on the other bed. I signaled them to come close.

The girls flinched and hid at first but i gave them a reassuring smile. Which seems to work.

They came close to me.

"jsdfjashjf kajsdfk kljdf." They said something again which i didn't understand. But looking at their they seemed to be enthusiastic about something. 

"Uh, i don't speak your language!" I said while signing them.

They seemed to have understood something.

One of the girl then approached me. She pointed her finger at herself and said, "Ema." Is she telling me her name.

"Ema? That's a sweet name." I commented. I am pretty sure she didn't understand anything. But she pointed at other girl and said, "Maeve."

"Ema and Maeve, got it." I then pointed at myself and said "Sia." Then i pointed at the sleeping Ely and said "Ely."

"Ely, Sia."

They seemed to be sweet children as the two talked to me for quit a while in the night. Although we didn't understand each other. I learned a few words from them as well. 

Until Ely woke up and growled away the two girls for some reason. Then she used me as a hug pillow to fall asleep again. At this point i got used her unpredictable weird behaviors. 

.

## Next Morning

The next day we were given a few necessities. Mainly tooth brushes, some more cloths and some text books. We were asked to come to school if we wanted. 

"I am not going." Ely said. Currently we are alone in our room with Ema and Maeve at school.

"Why not?" I asked. 

"Going to elementary school is lame. I would have rather stayed in the wilderness. And besides, we don't even speak their language." 

I mean i guess the language barrier is a problem. "Then how about we take a stroll around school. There shouldn't be that many people around since this is school time." 

"Fine i guess." 

And so we got out of our dorm rooms. 

The hallway's were pretty empty. As i said, most kids are at school at these hours. 

Walking around the place we could see various tech we have never seen before. This world i assume is sort of a high tech world. But at the same time it is not that much high tech. 

"percuil facition stmatter!" Suddenly i head someone talk. Looking up i notice a man. 

"percuil ratestibled claution" Yeah, i don't understand what he is saying. I tried to explain to him by signing that we don't speak their language. 

After a while of trying to explain to him i seemed to have succeeded as he also started using signs to communicate. 

The said man did not talk to us for much time as he seems to be going somewhere. 

He was a nice person. Kind of reminds me of a friend of mine for my previous life. 

Anyway Ely on the other hand wasn't very social as usual.

.

"This place is very beautiful." We finally reached a small garden of sorts. There are some flowers. And beyond this small garden is a children's playground. 

"Let's go sit there." I pointed towards a seat under a tree. Due to it being early in the morning everyone was at school and there was certain peace here. Combined with the gentle morning wind it's a good place to rest it seems. 

While sitting on the bench it became some what awkwardly quit. 

I don't know why, but Ely was thinking something. 

"is something wrong?" I decided to ask her after a while of silence. 

"Hey Sia." She suddenly asked me instead. " Did you have any family in your previous life?"

"My family..." Yeah i thought about that as well. "I did indeed have a family. My mother and my little brother. Alas, i couldn't stay besides them."

Hearing my words Ely for some reason gave me a weird look, which i couldn't comprehend. 

"Did you love them?" She asked a weird question.

"You can say that. After my father died i had looked after them for many years, they were the only reason why i striven to make money." 

Ely seemed to have fallen into deep thought. And her expression i couldn't understand. 

"How was your family like." I asked in order to divert the subject as the atmosphere around her seemed pretty dull. 

"I didn't have... one... " Uh, could it be she was an orphan in her previous life? 

That's so sad. And here i was flaunting my love for my family. 

feeling guilty i went ahead and hugged the poor girl. 

"There, there. Even if you didn't have a family then you you have me now. We are family in this life aren't we." I said consoling her. We are sisters and fellow reincarnates after all. We should look after each other. 

And after while my hug seemed to have worked. Ely hugged me back. 

"hm, we are family."

I might have under valued Ely's emotions. She is after all still a human with her own struggles. 

"Hey Sia." She said while hugging me. 

"Yes?"

"I love you."

"Yeah i love you too." 

And thus i have decided not to look at Ely as a stranger any more and look her more like my own sister.

.

.

### **(Ely POV)**

"You are the worst!"

"How could you do this to your mother!"

"What a ungrateful child."

Shut up.

"You pushed her off the balcony."

I know and i don't care.

"Are you sure..."

"Fuck off!!!" Suddenly i opened my eyes only to realize it was a nightmare.

"Urgh, even after all this time i am still having nightmares."

Honestly i don't care that i pushed my step mother off the balcony that day. I couldn't care less if she died.

I just feel empty.

"Let's go take a walk." I heard Sia propose a walk outside. which in the end i agree to. Even though i don't like socializing. In the first place we are monsters. We should act like one.

Somehow in time passed and i found myself sitting in the playground bench. While taking in the air i suddenly asked Sia about her family. I don't know why but when she told me about her family i felt jealous.

And then stuff happened, and i found myself denying the existence of my own family from my previous life.

I don't care about family. I can live on my own. And maybe Sia by my side.

But then She suddenly hugged me. 

"There, there. Even if you didn't have a family then you you have me now. We are family in this life aren't we." Hearing her consoling me i suddenly realized. that i do have a family. 

And that is the person in front of me. That's right Sia is my family now. 

Upon realizing it i couldn't help but hug her back. 

"I love you." I said. I want to spend my whole life with her. I want to love her in every possible. 

Not just that i want to keep her and own her and impregnate her.

After all we are family.

### A month later 

Hello there, Sia here. It's been around a month since we came to this orphanage.

Our supposed parents weren't found. I heard that the police is giving up and will only do soft search's from now on. I really feel guilty for wasting their resources like that.

Aside from that, i have finally got hold of the language. Not fluent, but if the other person isn't a fast talker i can make a conversation with my broken accent.

"Okay kids sit down!" The teacher entered the classroom which broke my thought.

I have been studying in this class since we came here. The environment here is pretty peaceful so far. So i can indulge in studies. 

"Kids, today let's talk about something outside of our text books shall we?"

"Yay!!!" Everyone agreed and closed their text books. Kids really don't like studying do they.

The teacher sat on the table. "So what should we talk about today?" He asked as he rythmed with the rest of the children.

"Teach teach, tell us about the first great heroes." One of the children said.

"Oh you want to here about the first great heroes? Okay then, if that's what you want." The teacher started his story.

His story went something like this. The first hero with something something name fought bravely in the something something war and defeated all the monsters that plagued the land. apherantly this world was previously plagued by monsters and humans had the ability to barely survive. 

But then some something something goddess chose a hero from among the four races which are, Humans, Elves, dwarfs and demons.

Yes, those races exist in this world.

The four heroes, known as the first mercenaries cleared the lands and discovered the secrets of dungeons.

They discovered that you can level up faster by just killing a dungeon.

Yeah i was shocked at that information when i first heard it.

You can level up by destroying a dungeons core which would count as killing the dungeon. So that's what that blue orb was...

And also i forgot to tell you the people in this world can see something called status. It let's them level up, assign points to certain things such as agility strength etc.

In this world people awaken their ability at a certain point in life. It is different for different races. These abilities give them power to fight the appearing dungeons and monsters.

Pretty interesting world i would say.

So the people in this world can use different abilities while also assign points to level up their abilities and stats. However, as monster i can't seem to use this status panel it seems. Which is understandable, this status panel was given to defeat monsters. And also while humans are only stuck with an ability for their life, me and Ely already have three. 

Yeah no matter how you look, monsters are something different. Fortunately monsters don't have intelligence, otherwise this world would be in trouble.

Hearing the teachers explanation i couldn't help but think how scary monsters are.

The classes ended with the teachers asking us if any of us want to go become a machinery. And to my surprise most raised hands including Ely.

I didn't do it since i don't like violence.

I am a man on peace.

After the class,

"Sia, want to go to the park nearby to play?" Some of the girls in my class approached me.

"Uh, sorry i have other things to do." I denied the invitation. 

"Is it because of your older sister?" One of the girl sneered.

"Ah, yes. Ely and i have a place we want to go." I answered.

"Heh, why do you hang out with her...?"

"What do you mean?" I couldn't help but tilt my head. 

"Come here." One of the girl waved at me. I got closer. "Rumor has it that she has beaten up a bunch of boy's from the other class. If you hang out with her then she might beat up you as well." Uh, that.

A few day's ago a bunch of guys tried to propose to Me only to mistake Ely as me. And well, i heard that something happen and well Ely being Ely got a little violent.

And also i am not proud that guys a trying to pursue me. In the inside i am still an adult grown up man. I am not into men. Let alone little boys.

"It's okay Ely isn't that violent once you get to know her."

The other girl seem to not believe me. "She is my sister. I know her more than anyone." I said.

"Sigh, what ever you do." The girls walked away with an expression i couldn't discern. Why are girl so weird?

If it were guys then they would just drag me away regardless whether i had important work or not.

I met up with Ely afterwards. She is always in this weird grumpy mood whenever she is in school. We got so much we learned the past month you know.

"Let's go." She said.

"Mhm, same place?" I asked.

"Yeah."

We both started walking.

After coming here a few day's ago we found this abandoned hospital near our orphanage. It was rumored to be haunted so no one comes here. A perfect place for Ely's greatest joy.

Fighting.
