Chapter 93 [ Come to Rokka Village ]

"IF I SAY I'M NOT PROTECTING HER, THEN I'M NOT PROTECTING HER!!!"

Regardless of her brother and whatever purpose he had for entering her room, Mika, the young Rokka Ruka had told her about, walked out, full of anger.

The older brother, "......"

The person who had been watching them all along finally revealed himself.
"You stepped on a mine, Nii-san..."

That person walked into the room.
"You know, Micchan has been sensitive about Yuka since that day. Why are you bringing her up?"

The older brother just glanced at the person while standing still in his place.
"Ha~ahh... I know."

"But that was 52 years ago, you know. Why hasn't she let it go yet?" said the older brother tiredly.

That person, his younger brother, patted him gently on the back.
"Be patient."

"Didn't we promise?"

"......."
The older brother clenched his fists. He thought back to that day. The day when his youngest sister, returned after decades of riding the Tower.

".... You were right..."

Mika, the younger sister he knew was a sweet girl with a carefree and gentle personality who was a bit whiny. That's why he was worried when his sister and his sister's best friend Yuka decided to leave the village and climb the Tower. He was afraid that his sister would get hurt, considering the Tower was a dangerous place.

But contrary to his worries, both girls were able to survive in the Tower well and became famous Rokka who were often sought after by the Conqueror. Neither of them were affiliated with any organization. Only with a small party of 14 people, they climbed the Tower together from the Tutorial Zone to the 30th floor. Thanks to their good teamwork and the detailed information they both had access to, the party grew large enough that they decided to build a small Guild.

Everything was going well up until that point. But unknown to what exactly happened, the Guild disintegrated a few months after it was formed. Mika returned to Rokka Village in a state of severe trauma and shock. Her soul seemed to be separated from her body. For a while, Mika lived like a mindless doll. Just silent with an emotionless blank stare and her previous carefree smile. Of course, this made Mika's older brother very worried. They kept asking her what happened to their sister, but instead of answering, Mika became hysterical when the memory came back to her.

Because of this, Mika's two older brothers, Raka and Youka gave up asking Mika and tried to find out what happened themselves.

The result was a big failure.

The information about the Guild was completely shut down by an entity from the Tower database. It was obvious that the only one who could do that besides the admin was Rokka. In other words, what happened to Mika, Yuka and their guild was related to another Rokka. A Rokka powerful enough to block another Rokka's access to information. Of course, that Rokka included Ranker.
