Chapter 46: Big Brother
"Become friends with Frost."
Blaze had said this with a serious look on his face.
After looking at the dumbfounded and confused expression on Anashvar's face, he smiled and explained the reason behind his request.
"You see, my little brother has no friends around his age. This makes me worried...
You guys should have no friends either, given your circumstances, so get along with each other from now on. Okay?"
"Having friends is essential for mental and emotional growth of kids your age."
"...."
Anashvar looked like he had no idea of how he should reply.
He blankly nodded his head.
Just then, they heard knocks form the door.
Blaze went and opened the door.
Evan was standing there with two paper bags in his hands.
"The snacks are here, sir."
Blaze took the bags from his hands.
"Yes, thank you Mr. Evan."
There were burgers, french fries, wraps and milk shakes in those bags.
Blaze took the milk shakes and gave one each to Anashvar, Aakriti and Frore. He took one for himself.
When he handed the milkshake to Frore, he noticed that Frore looked like he wanted to say something.
While he carried the paper bags with burgers towards the siblings, he used 'Signal Connector'.
[What is it?]
{Blaze, you are planning to bring them to our home right?}
[Yes.]
{...Do you trust them, Blaze?}
[Yes, I do.]
{Then why would you tell them my alias and not my real name?}
[They don't need to know about our situation right now. When the time is right, I will tell them everything.]
[Let them recuperate and stabalize. Then, we will have a talk with them.]
{Ok.}
Blaze handed each of the two bags to Anashvar and Aakriti.
"You must be hungry. Eat up."
Anashvar hesitated for a bit, but watching his sister ; who had already started chewing french fries while gulping the shake, he accepted the food.
After having a few sips of the shake he asked, putting the bag on the table in front of him.
"..Is that really...all you want?"
Blaze answered back with a question as if asking is there a problem with that.
"Yes, is there something else that you want me to ask of you? Or do you not want to be friends with him?"
"...Um..no, that's not it."
Anashvar became flustered at Blaze's clueless behaviour.
He didn't know what he should say, so he just closed his mouth and decided to remain silent.
Blaze sat down on the sofa and drank his shake.
He was having some thoughts after that conversation with Frore.
{You shouldn't have doubts on your future best friend, Frore. He is someone we can entrust our lives with.}
He let out an inaudible sigh, put his drink down and got up.
Blaze turned around and lifted up Frore from behind the sofa, as if he was lifting up a baby and made him sit on the sofa.
Frore looked up at him.
"You shouldn't eat or drink while standing, it causes indigestion."
Frore wasn't planning to get up in the first place, even if Blaze hadn't given him an explanation.
Since, Blaze made him sit down. So, it was automatically understood to him that Blaze must have done it for his own good.
Then Blaze sat down beside him and picked up the shake and continued drinking from where he left off.
Looking at this scene, Anashvar had a thought.
{Mr. Blaze seems to love his brother very much. He was a kind person, after all. Trusting him wasn't a mistake. Aakriti's decision was right again.}
Blaze turned towards him and asked gently.
"If you want more, just tell me. Kids should eat properly, to grow up properly. Don't hold back, ok?"
Aakriti cheerfully replied.
"Yes!"
She seemed to have regained her energy after eating some proper food in many days.
After they had finished their meal, Blaze took out a tissue box from his inventory and handed them to Anashvar and Aakriti.
They wiped their hands and faces.
Blaze started speaking at that moment.
"You don't have to worry about the association finding out about your 'deaths'. When, I become your gaurdian according to the documents; we will become family. So, your past will not affect you becoming a hunter."
Aakriti beamed and Anashvar had a small smile on his face.
"Thank you for everything you have done for us, Mr. Blaze."
Blaze scowled a bit after hearing Anashvar thank him with all his heart.
"Don't thank me...and drop the mister."
Blaze said seriously.
Anashvar thought he had said something wrong when he looked at Blaze's expression.
He started to recall everything that had happened until now to find what had gone wrong.
However, at the next moment Blaze said something in an easygoing tone.
"Why are you being so formal? I told you that I would become your gaurdian, no? So, just call me big brother or Blaze. Same goes for Frost. You too, Aakriti."
Anashvar snapped out of thoughts and looked at him feeling relieved.
{So, that's what it was.}
"Ok, big brother."
Aakriti also replied excitedly.
"I got two more big brothers. I am very happy, big brother."
