As the gate guards were checking the system ID of everyone, I began to adjust myself in line. As it surely feels kind of great, well, I could understand them, and I understand them because of this body's native language, and of course, I have a skill that translates every word and every line, but I still can't write in this language.
So I should avoid writing as much as possible, but this doesn't look like a normal checking, as it looks more like a police barricade. As it looks like something happened, I thought about gathering the intel.
As I began to speak to the man in front, he was looking quite noble, but I wasn't looking noble, as my clothes were of very strange design, and the mud and dirt from the way surely painted my clothes greatly. So that man was also not too friendly, but he told me that "The National Hero's party has been wiped out by some unknown demon.
So nobody can be trusted at this moment, as even royalty and nobles can't leave without proper checking. As this law is passed from the center to every town and city." Well, after hearing his words, I got the idea that I thought the matter of such an influential character would surely be leaked, but to think they got the information of an event of just hours before!
Well, he might be contracted with the center, as at just the moment those bastards died, they issued the order. Well, the item they must have used must be an amulet or something like a soul contract. But it was more like a preplanned move.
Well, surely if anything tries to get on my nerves, then surely I will obliterate it from existence. But I can't just miss this town visit. I have to see how a real fantasy town looks from inside. As soon as my turn came, the guard first stopped me and asked, "Kid, you are new in this town, right?"
After hearing him, I also said, "Yes, as I am from a distant village and recently came here." But as I was speaking, I saw a big muscular man approaching me at an intense pace. As I couldn't even activate my powers because if I did, it might blow my cover, so I waited patiently.
And the first thing he did was to punch my face and ask in anger, "You Omani bastard, you've got some nerve trying to sneak from your elder brother. If you dare to sneak out again, then don't blame me if you are found in a coffin.
As there are many strange psychos moving these days who capture people and sacrifice these captured people to call their unknown deity, but it is all a myth, as they are nothing but psychos, as only a high-level mage can summon someone from another world, and using humans or living creatures in rituals is strictly forbidden for the public, so bastard, don't you dare sneak back from me again."
After hearing him, I was insanely shocked and couldn't process the information, as this was clearly a strange event. But to think that this body still had its relations in this world, and this brat was captured and sacrificed by that old man's group!
As they must have also not expected that turning on the altar could attract that many creatures. So now finding out the reason why when I woke up, I found only corpses!
And seeing this guy's attitude, he must be really close to him, and I don't even have this body's memories. But I can't just let him find out that I was not Onam and his brother was just sacrificed by some random bastards for their own selfish reasons.
Well, I only remember my parents till 18; they were pretty much like average parents, like more rules and less love and care. After 18, I started to look to them like a moneybag, so this was also one of the reasons why I was never able to quit that job.
But this guy, he was like a movie character, like an average big brother who is way too caring for you or something like that. But my brother in a previous life was surely not like this, as he was far much brighter than me, and he had a pretty controlling nature, so we never really got along with each other. And after I took an apartment, I rarely even visited or saw him, and most of the time I lived alone at my house.
Surely I was truly trash, but I guess this Omani/Onam guy had pretty good fortune, but still it was trouble for me to find a way to react to this man, as I didn't receive any good thing for past years.
But still I forced warm expressions, and I didn't even know his name, so to keep it less suspicious, I spoke, "Hey, big brother, how are you doing? See, here I am back in one piece."
After hearing my sarcasm, I thought this bastard would laugh it off, but that brother guy again gave his monstrous punch on my face and sent me flying to a nearby wall and spoke: "You brat, you've got some nerve, first making your brother feel like he lost you, and then instead of greeting your crying big brother, you have the nerve to joke about your health. I am going to kill you today, and make sure to beat the arrogance out of your soul!"
I felt that this bastard was truly powerful and way too angry, but my skills were not meant to cool down people's anger, nor could my suppressed stats make him cool down. Damn, now I felt pretty screwed, and I began to think of a way out, or he was just going to beat the shit out of me, and I wouldn't be able to resist him because of guilt that his bratty brother got sacrificed for me.
But now it was looking like even this brother was also about to be killed by me. But as I was thinking about all this, a hot chick came running and gave a tight punch to that big brother and began to cry, "You dummy, your younger brother just came back, and instead of greeting him with love, you are beating him, huh, Hubby?"
As I saw this strange turn of events, I became shocked. "HUBBY?" My ass, this bastard was clearly about to use his fighting skills to kick my ass, and this hot chick was sounding like this body's sister-in-law.
Damn, I clearly can say it is fate that I got to see this great beauty finally. Now I can protect my straightness. And she also can act as a shield against that 'BIG BRO' bastard.
So, feeling it necessary, I started to make a cute face and tried to make a dramatic entry in slow motion by shouting, "Sister-in-law, save me from this mongrel husband of yours."
I thought she must be that mommy-like character from anime, loving and caring, but I was wrong. This bitch was more terrifying than her husband. As she started giving an intense gaze and speaking, "You brat got some nerve, making your brother and your sister-in-law worried for you, and even calling your brother a mongrel in front of your sister-in-law, huh? Guess I should remind you of the basic manners the moment we return home."
Well now I could understand why this big brother guy was acting as if he were going to cry; surely this woman was way too scary, and now we both were looking like we might cry any moment.
After scolding us both for a few moments, she went inside the carriage, and seeing her leave, we both took a calm breath, and he asked with an still annoyed tone, "Brat, leave your sister-in-law aside and tell me, where were you? And don't you dare make any random excuse; I nearly spent six months in search of you, you bastard!"
