Silver started to take care of the while farm fully while also doing some jobs. Since that fake death, he had been working not only on the farm but also at home to cook at the exact time.

    He wants to go to a nearby city that can help him earn more money but they will probably won''t hire him as he was just a kid in their eyes.

    Most of the youth at his age in the village was not like him, working at an early age just as he was learning how to read and write at the age of 2 after they were adopted by Zeus.

    Somewhere in the forest, there was a young man holding a bow and arrow, crouching behind the bushes as he slowly aims his bow at a wolf. Adjusting the angle of the bow, he slowly pulled the string until at max, he uttered three words and let go of the arrow, "Fire burns bright."

    This was Silver, who found out that the skill Blazing Aura has a burning effect when he used long-range weapons such as bow and arrow.

    He moved forward to his target, retrieving his arrow on his target that was burning. After a few seconds of struggling, it died and its body perished only leaving a magic crystal.

    He''s hunting monsters now as there was someone visited their village and introduced himself. He said that he was an appliances engineer and if someone was strong enough to kill monsters and retrieve their magic crystal will be rewarded based on how high the quality. That was a week ago.

    On his way home, he dropped by the house that was meant to have a second floor which he also needed to finish building. This house was bought by the engineer and wanted it to be renovated as well as add another floor.

    Going home, he smelled a very delicious scent coming from his home. He entered as he was shocked to see Mr. Engineer cooking for dinner tonight.

    This engineer was staying with Bell and Silver for the time being as the house that he wanted to be renovated and have a second floor will take a few more weeks. This guy''s name was Albert Futon. Yes, his last name was the same name as the Japanese traditional style of bedding.

    "Hey, Sir Albert. Are you the one who cooked food?" he asked while putting away his weapons and his green cloak.

    "Oh, welcome home. I just cooked something in return for the favor of letting me stay in your house for the few days that have passed." Albert smiled as he added, "Actually, I''ll go take care of the house chores for you so you don''t have to work too hard."

    Albert, a man in his 30s. Traveling from cities, towns, and villages to another, searching for a suitable place to invent new things using the magic crystal on his own. Though he doesn''t have much money and magic crystals, he was fortunate that he met Silver, a youth whose strength was comparable to an adventurer from Orario, the Labyrinth City.

    He had been working and earning money for his brother''s birthday since it is near, just a few months away after Thanksgiving Day and new year. Since this world was Norse mythology, there is no Christmas, however, it was replaced by Thanksgiving Day.

    Today was the 23rd of November. Bell''s Birthday was April 24, his birthday on the 12th of February. Since his birthday was earlier than Bell, he decided to leave for Orario before his birthday.

    A few weeks have passed, it is already Thanksgiving Day. He prepared lots of foods for those who will visit him. Jack and Albert were the first ones to come and chatted with them.

    "Silver, Bell, how are you two?" asked Jack.

    "Were okay, Sir Jack. How about you?" Bell answered.

    "As always, I''m getting old, sigh" answered Jack.

    This answer shocked both Silver and Bell.

    "Wait, how old are you, Sir Jack?" asked Silver as he was curious how old he is.

    "Um... How should I say this? I''m only 40 years old." he was hesitant but since he knew them, he said it anyway.

    Silver smiled as he said, "Is that so?"

    "What''s so funny?" Jack asked.

    "No, there is nothing funny at all. It''s just, um... I just thought about finding you a good wife." Silver smiled.

    "Really? It will take a few years though." he was happy but at the same time sad.

    "Nope. One of the villagers whose age was the same as yours and have children since her husband died, had taken a like on you." Silver was talking about Ms. Valentine, whose husband had died when he was 8.

    "Like is different than love, it always is. Don''t try helping me with this." Jack frowned as he remembered his youth.

    "Hey, I think that''s a good idea, Silver!" said Albert who was smiling widely.

    "Hey! Are you two ignoring me?" he got angry as if they didn''t hear him.

    Suddenly, there was someone who was laughing. It was Bell, he laughed and the others also laughed.

    On the last day of the year, Silver and Bell were sitting above the roof of their house which has a quite view of the rising sun as it starts to get bright slowly.

    Silver asked Bell, "Are you ready to go to the city of adventurers?"

    This shocked Bell as he wants to go there and become an Adventurer.

    "Yes! Of course, Brother!" his eyes lit up as he heard his brother.

    "Just promise me one thing." Silver said in a low voice.

    "What is it?"

    "When we get there, promise me that you''ll go on your own and I''ll go on my own. Once you are Adventurer, try to find me in the dungeon." after he said that, he patted Bell''s head.

    "I promise!"

    The two made a vow with the sun being the witness of their Brotherhood oath.
