The World We Do Not Know - 97 Family And Bonds

After the official badge ceremony is done. Faust came out being a captain. But the faces of his squad doesn’t show any kind of happiness

Faust walks out being pissed. He felt as though he got profited with someone’s death “Stop there Miss Tsumugi!” Faust grabs her wrist and pulls her back, turning her body around hastily without a concern that she is an elder and a woman.

“Miss Tsumugi! I don’t like being a captain. What would I even do with this captain post when you are not in the family anymore?” He yells out his frustration stacked up from the room, his eyes are burning with rage and teeth rumbling against each other.

“I cannot provide the equipment you asked for,” Tsumugi whispers in a low voice.

“Equipment?” Fab asks in a surprise, he instantly turns towards Faust. “You better not humiliated Lady Tsumugi about our finances, Faust! I won’t even show you any mercy if you did.” Fab says in a deep voice with his eyes widened, a crest is formed on his forehead, saying that he is serious with his words

“Fab! I was going to tell you all about it but this is not about me or finances. Let me speak to Lady Tsumugi only.” Faust looks towards her.

“I told you we could work something out with the equipment! You didn’t have to choose this path.” Faust yells loudly. Tsumugi turns her face away from facing Faust.

“Oi! If anyone saw you, yelling at a noble, you will be hanged.” Thorik comes into the picture with Carlos.

Faist looks at the intruders but he still does not let go of Tsumugi’s wrists.

“Thorik! Did you know about this? Why did you not tell me?” Fab asks his old friend Thorik with a regretful face.

“Him? Hehahahe even I didn’t know about it until an hour ago. My little nieces informed me about it this morning.

“Ni-Nieces?” Jonathan asks surprisingly.

“Of course! Uzume and Tsumugi are my Nieces! Not related by blood but still, Isn’t that why I accepted you all into my group?”

Suddenly he lowers his voice sensing people walking by their path. “Unlike someone who buys soldiers and talent with money! We do it for family and respect.” Carlos says playfully covering half of his face with the red hand fan smiling towards the old minister and his bodyguard as they cross paths.

“Anyway, you! captain! Come to our house tomorrow to collect the equipment that you want.” Thorik informs Faust. “Now, until we meet again Lady Tsumugi.” Both him and Carlos leaves on their way.

“That dam Uzume and her sister! They planned this with that lunatic Carlos. She did it so they will have fine first-class equipment to fight in the purge. And also tips from that general Thorik”

“We also need to do that thing to win the wars.” The minister plots with his evil face glowing devilishly, thinking about the sinister things he is about to do with Tsumugi’s house.

Faust and the squad, along with Tsumugi comes home while feeling low all along the way.

Firstly, Tsumugi stepped down from the house leader post, Faust yelled at her in a rude way and Fab & Faust’s quarrel on their way home. All these things really broke everyone’s spirit

“Everyone to the main hall,” Faust announces loudly to the people who are leaving to their rooms on different paths.

“Huh? What was that for? Jonathan asks being petrified by the sudden request.

“Please, follow me to the main hall, including Lady Tsumugi.”

All of them starts to follow Faust to the main hall. He makes everyone sit on the couch while he stands in front fi them.

Taking deep breaths he says. “I-I used to hate people before coming here.” Everyone is confused with what they are hearing. They don’t see any purpose for Faust doing this.

“I didn’t have a family, I only had a grandfather who passed away in my 10th year.. Since then I didn’t really have a family. I didn’t have friends. I lived by myself and later with another person.”

“I used to hate people for their nature! Jealousy, selfishness, greedy, wanting to show supremacy and doing just what gives them pleasure.”

“I was sick and tired of the way, of people. But then I met you all.” Faust pauses to take some breaths, trying to control his emotions. Jonathan and the rest are in a trance in a whole new world with only Faust and themselves. His words took them to a different world where only they exist.

“You are all weird, to be honest,” Faust says with a smile that brought smiles to their faces.

“But weirdly honest! Weirdly caring! Weirdly, you all made me have a different opinion on the world. I got to witness to believe that there are still good people on the earth.”

“You all accepted me, did not even question my actions or past. We were all so comfortable with each other as if we are with our parents.”

Faust looks at Tsumugi who is tearing up. “I don’t want to lose you guys ever! I don’t want this branch of the family to crumble down!” Fab realises something! Seeing a kid pour his feelings out like a mature guy. Trying to solve the gloominess in the family.

“Rather than being gloomy! Let’s get stronger to win while being in this house! And one day definitely, let us make Lady Tsumugi the head of the family again.”

“Heh! You don’t need to give us such a big speech Faust.”

“For real Faust! Are we twins or what?”

“Are you all thinking the same thing that I am thinking?” Fab, Rachel and Jonathan tell each other being excited about the situation they are in.

“We are already thinking of bringing back Lady Tsumugi in our own ways, huh?”  Fab says as his eyes are closed and his arms crossed.

“We all think about the good eventually! We just need to take the opportunity to let the other person know of your thoughts and feelings. Many things will be settled with this.” Faust says with a bright smile.

Tsumugi, on the other hand, is hiding her face with her hands. Everyone goes beside her, trying to calm her, wiping her face and hugging her.

“Finally guys! Be ready to give it you’re all in the purge, let’s save our house and our family. Not by ourselves individually. But let’s do this together!” Faust yells out loud and everyone responds with a biggest “Hell Yeah!”
