581 Secret 5 (1/2)

Chapter 581: Secret 5

After a good night’s sleep, Garen slowly rose from his bed.

Taking a deep breath, he turned to look at the window. The sunlight was seeping through his curtains, making the dust in the air somewhat visible.

He pushed away his blanket, once again looking at his wounded heel from yesterday. Except for a light red scar at the very top, it looks nothing like a wound anymore.

Today was a weekend, so he didn’t have to rush to school.

After dressing himself, he walked up to the window and opened the curtains.

”Hey!!”

Raffaele was on her bike waiting for him as usual.

Opening the window, Garen shouted, ”What’s the plan?”

”How about the beach again? We can make barbecued seafood!” Raffaele answered after some thought.

”Sure.” Garen didn’t invite her to come into his house. The last time she was in the house, there was an awkward atmosphere.

”I’ll be out in a bit!!” Garen shouted out loud.

Walking out of the bedroom, Jason and his sister Vivien were already eating breakfast in the kitchen. His mother was still in her study, and his father was in the living room sitting, talking with his new research student about their learning objectives for the day.

”Going out again?” Jason asked loudly.

”Yea, Rafi is waiting outside.” Garen sloppily picked up 2 pieces of bread and spread some tomato jam on them, chugged a few mouthfuls of milk, then walked straight towards the door.

”Bro, you haven’t even brushed your teeth!” Vivien loudly said.

”Oh, right!” Garen placed the bread on the bathroom counter and proceeded to speedily lather his teeth with toothpaste.

All of the sudden, the bathroom door cracked open, and in came a red-headed girl in a black dress. Looking at Garen, she was a bit shocked, but managed to recover herself and politely gave her greetings.

”Good morning big brother Garen.”

”Oh, Morning. You are?”

”She’s my best friend Arisa! She came to visit, she’s a tourist!” His sister Vivien ran it and answered. ”Arisa, this is my brother.”

This girl looked no older than 10, she gave of the aura of a shy young lady. With Garen staring intently at her, she started to blush.

”I-I’m Arisa, n-n-nice to meet you, big brother Garen…”

”Same here, but sorry, I have a friend outside waiting for me, so I’ll leave you in my sister’s care,” Garen said after gargling, wiping off the remaining bubbles around his mouth.

He did not know why, but he felt that this Arisa was a bit different from other average people, so he couldn’t help but look at her a bit more.

”Arisa is here with her older sister, but the inn was full already, I ran into her at the town center, so I offered her to stay at our house,” Vivien answered seriously. ”Her sister is living in Serin’s place next door!”

”Ahh that’s great. Travelling at such a young age.” Garen started ruffling her hair a bit, lightly patting her head, making her blush even more.

Her hands were behind her back, playing with her fingers frantically.

”Then I’ll be off, you guys have fun! Grano is a quiet and beautiful place, I hope you guys enjoy yourselves!” Garen said with a smile, walking towards the door.

”No worries, I’ll take good care of them!” Jason confidently slapped his chest, there was a sly grin on his face, he probably was scheming on bringing them through some strange tour.

Opening the door, a tall brunette girl with long hair was standing at the side of the gate, wearing a black slim fit windbreaker, carrying a small purse. She had an oval face and white skin, giving of a cool and unapproachable aura. At the moment, she was staring blankly at the distance.

This beautiful cool girl was still giving off that unapproachable vibe, even when she was just staring idly at nothing.

Garen, clad in nothing but a simple T-shirt and jeans, started pushing his white motorcycle out of his garage. The sound seemed to have startled the girl.

She frowned as he walked over.

”Good morning, I am Arisa’s older sister. I am here to pick her up. Thank you for your hospitality from yesterday.” The brunette bent down slightly and gave a proper curtsy.

”There’s no need for the formalities…” Garen felt that this girl was slightly too serious.

”It’s only appropriate,” she replied seriously. ”Nice to meet you, my name is Isaros, I’m in your care.”

”Nice to meet you.” Garen nodded as he opened the gate and pushed his motorcycle out. ” Arisa is inside with my sister, please make yourself at home, I didn’t lock the doors.”

”Then, sorry for interrupting.” Isaros bowed slightly.

Garen quickly assessed this girl, she looked younger than twenty, and had a cool aura about her. She was well-mannered but somehow spoke in a very traditional, formal manner. This made her even more unapproachable.

Furthermore, the name ”Isaros” reminded him of the colloquial name of Duskdune Shura in the Totem World - Anzera. The two were only a syllable apart, this gave Garen a strange sense of familiarity.

”Grano is a beautiful and quiet place, I hope you guys enjoy your stay!”

Isaros nodded with all the seriousness in the world, ”Thank you.”

Garen looked back. He saw Jason frantically opening the door, his face blushing like a beetroot. He didn’t even dare to look Isaros straight in the eye. Garen finally knew why he was so adamant in taking the initiative to give them a tour just now.
