Arch-Sabre: The Inheritor of The Blade

Chapter 5: Date With My Sister

"What? You want to join the Hero Armament Championship?"

I just told my sister about my participation into Hero Armament Championship and she kind of utterly surprised. I got home just several minutes ago.

"Ah... so tiring, I should relax a little bit," I sighed.

I went to the refrigerator, grab a bottle of fresh milk then sit on the couch while turning on the television. Just before I want to turn to my favourite channel, she came and continue of talking about the tournament out of the blue. I just want to take some time off and chill for crying out loud!

"Yes Eve. I am," I answered.

"Why didn't you tell me before?"

"I just forgot at that moment, but I did say it to Quinn though."

"But the tournament is dangerous Evie... there's lot of strong people there... even I, the leader of archery club comes at the last place on the final stage!"

"That is last year story, or do you think you are still the same as before this year? Did you try to train harder this year?"

She snapped.

"How can you say something as cruel as that, of course I've gotten better! But that doesn't mean everything will be as easy!" She proclaimed.

"Well, if you lose...perhaps you aren't as strong as you think," I commented.

"Wha, what did you say...?"

Her cheerful voice suddenly turned dejected. I turned to her face. Her round black eyes gleams with tears. Her lips curved upwards expressing an unhappy expression. Her tears start to flow down to her cheeks.

Oops, I may have taken it too far.

"E-Eve, I am sorry, I, I didn't intend to make you sad..."

"Why are you so mean to me!!!" She mewled.

"Come on Eve, I-I am sorry okay... Hey... okay, okay, I get it. You are strong alright. You are strongest than anyone so stop crying okay, strong people don't cry. Next time you will win... right?"

She stops crying in a sudden before taking a quick peek at me. Then she cries again, and it is much louder than before.

"Ugh...what should I do sis? Uh... okay, tell me whatever you want me, I will do it. Anything!"

"You liar!"

"Trust me!! I promise! I never break my promise!" I try to convince her.

Finally, her crying become quieter. She smiles and wipes off her tears with her hands.

"Anything?"

"Yes, yes! Anything!"

"Promise?"

"Yes, I promise."

She wipes her tears and start smiling for real.

"Then, I want you to accompany me to a date tomorrow for the whole day, I want to find some weapon for the tournament."

"Ah, that's all? Basically, it's a shopping."

"No, it's a date."

"Shopping."

"Evie, do you hate me?"

"I don't."

"You love me then!"

"Unthinkable."

"I will cry," she threatened me.

"I love you so much," I reply instantly.
