Chapter 13 - The Swan And The Hunter

Orion then went quickly to Safir Cygnus's workshop to rest for a moment.

Upon arriving at the building with a tool sign but sweet decorations in blue, pink, and brown.

He looked at the building with a bewildered gaze.

" Even now, I still can't get used to this workshop building."

Orion then changed his appearance, and slid the workshop door open.

" Sister Safir!." Orion then called her.

Safir answered the call.

" just come in Orion! My customers are so many right now, help me serve the buyers while you're at it." Said Safir with her hands full of drink plates.

With annoyance, Orion agreed.

After entering, Orion was surprised by Safir's workshop.

" are you serious Sis ! is this a workshop or a cafe?!."

Safir, who was too busy, finally ignored him.

Orion crossly turned his head away from Safir, and with annoyance he also served the customers; with a spell he casted, Orion's face was not recognized by anyone except those he allowed, with a disguise of reddish-brown hair, silver eyes, and current trendy clothes making people not recognize him at all.

Safir's workshop was a workshop for the "Dewan" as well as a cafe famous among the chosen "Dewan", the cost was very expensive with very good quality, even with an E-tier stone, she could make a weapon with a tier 3 times higher than the basic material given.

" please, here is the dessert you ordered."

The customers could only look at him in awe, is he the princess's friend? He really has an ideal posture, he must not be an ordinary "Dewan" for sure.

Some customers also sneered with very jealous looks, until some customers with scary faces broke into the workshop.

The leader of the group held Orion's shoulder, by force to make him meet Safir.

Of course, the provocation from the group leader did not make Orion flinch, they were indeed S-rank but the level difference between them was as far as heaven and earth.

The lower-level "Dewan" started running away from the workshop with Safir in confusion.

Safir, seeing Orion and that person fighting, immediately broke them up with her skill.

" FREEZE!."

They immediately broke the ice crystal, because Safir was not a fighter-type "Dewan", she chose to retreat from the fight.

" WHAT DO YOU WANT?!." Orion asked with full of anger.

The group leader gripped Orion's shoulder roughly with full strength, unfortunately it was useless, with anger Orion stared at him.

" WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT HUH! HOW DARE YOU STARE AT THE HEIR OF MARQUIS GINGA!." That person was offended, then knocked down a nearby table with a kick.

" Marquis huh, looks like I should report to father." Orion stared at him with a wide smile.

Safir tried to stop Orion." Orion! Don't!."

Orion opened his disguise as all customers and workers fled.

" YOU THINK I AM AN ORDINARY PERSON HUH? IF YOU ARE THE HEIR OF A MARQUIS." Orion challenged.

"HEH! YOU WERE DISGUISED AFTER ALL!." Said the Marquis heir.

His subordinates reminded him to show respect and surrender, then he stared with a feeling of annoyance.

"HEH" The heir mocked Orion, then raised his hand, and prepared to punch Orion.

Orion then smiled widely in front of the fist that was about to launch at him.

Thinking that his punch hit Orion's face, he began to brag to his subordinates.

However, the subordinates showed shocked faces with lots of sweat.

The young Marquis looked at his subordinates.

"WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU GUYS?!." Said the young Marquis rudely.

He then looked back at Orion.

Orion grabbed the young Marquis's fist, then Orion's other hand grabbed the young Marquis's shoulder.

With his strength, he twisted and slammed the young Marquis's body down.

The young Marquis writhed in pain under Orion.

Orion stared at him, then whispered.

"My words earlier were not finished, NEBULA GINGA, THE FIRST SON OF SHOOTING STAR GINGA!."

Orion tightened his grip.

"I will introduce myself, oh young Marquis."

Orion's gaze sharpened, entering hunting mode.

"MY NAME IS ORION DE JAEGER, THE ONLY HEIR OF THE DUKE JAEGER FAMILY."

Nebula Ginga began to break out in a cold sweat from the shock he faced.

Orion quickly pointed his sword toward the side of Nebula's neck.

"YOU ARE THE ONE WHO SHOULD KNEEL TO ME, NEBULA GINGA!."

Kreeek

The sound of Nebula's cracking bone was heard loudly, making him scream out loud.

Then Orion threw him toward his subordinates.

" TELL THE MARQUIS, PLEASE WATCH OVER THIS CRAZY SON OF HIS!."

Orion made a forced smile.

"Oh yeah, don't forget to tell your master, NEVER GET CLOSE TO MY FIANCÉE!."

They then left without asking again, even though many questions crossed their minds.

Afterwards, Safir fell down due to the tension earlier, Orion then gave his hand to support Safir.

" Thank you." Safir smiled toward Orion's face.

Orion asked Safir, what happened? And why didn't Safir tell her mother?.

With a gloomy face, Safir answered.

" That person has been coming here since 1 week ago, he wants me to marry him, I don't want mom to worry about me, because this Workshop is my place to be independent, I founded this place, and I have to take care of it!."

" alright, I should come here more often, just in case, Sis." Orion calmed Safir.

Safir hugged Orion trembling and crying to release her tension.

" thank you Orion."

Orion stroked Safir's hair.

Safir wiped her tears, then stood up in front of Orion.

" so Orion, what do you need?."

" Sister, do you know about Balance's departure?

Cygnus agreed, due to the gossip only known by the 3 childhood friends.

" I want you to make me a tool to find him."

Cygnus started thinking about it.

" he has a lot of magic, right? And there is always something mystical near him, hum...."

Orion was curious about the answer.

Cygnus got an idea.

" how about you go to a shaman?."

Orion, who was annoyed, started to smack Cygnus's head.

" Sis, I'm serious!!."

Orion looked at Cygnus's face with an annoyed look.

Cygnus exhaled, and showed a picture of a gem.

Cygnus then explained.

" I am out of materials to make it, can you find this gem for me? This gem is called Mana Serie, this gem has a Violet color reflected when exposed to Light, the color will continue to chase the largest mana source nearby, one more thing, customer confidentiality is a priority, if he(Balance) buys or orders products here, I will not tell you, so don't be angry, because this is the shop's principle."

Orion complained.

" fine, I will look for it."

Cygnus then remembered Orion's words earlier.

"hey. . . Orion, was your word about the fiancée true?."

Cygnus's eyes became weary, she started leaning her body against the wall, and holding her left elbow with her right hand.

Orion answered.

"If I have to choose, aren't you the only woman my age that I know?." Said Orion with a flat, innocent face.

"And anyway, I don't mind if it's with you."

Safir's cheeks then turned red, accompanied by an increasing heartbeat.

Orion then walked toward the exit.

"I'm going now, Sister Safir."

While Cygnus waved her hand, Orion left to find the stone.

At the same time, Cygnus looked at him with a pitying gaze, while waving her hand low and slowly.

" Weren't you not like that before? Orion..." She said with a sad face.

On the way, Orion opened his phone, then opened a map app, to look for the Mana Serie dungeon.

"Hum, it's quite far apparently." Orion complained.

I am now in the Marquis Ginga territory, that's why the young master came to the workshop easily earlier, although I am sure Sister Safir's workshop is very legal, and the Mana Serie mine is in the Count Mirage territory which is far on the outskirts of the central city.

Orion then looked at the sky and sighed.

"Then I also need to find Balance, really exhausting."

My name is Orion Jaeger.

My name itself is taken from the constellation where this planet is, and the factor that my parents like Saint Seiya.

Orion is a hunter constellation with a sword/arrow and a dog beside him.

Meanwhile, Cygnus, is the swan constellation, I have bad memories with swans since I was a child.

Because my family is a hunter family, I also had to hunt since I was a child.

But my first experience was very bad.

I was chased and pecked by a swan and at the same time laughed at by my father.

My family and Balance's family have a somewhat complicated relationship.

In the past, this planet was led by my family, before the first Night came from another world.

We call that era the old Jaeger era.

An era where the purity of noble blood was the most important and the patriarchy system was very strong, it made them have some flaws.

Until one of the illegitimate daughters in the old Jaeger family disguised herself as a man, and became one of the high-ranking soldiers in the palace at that time and slaughtered her own family, because of resentment and oppression in the past.

And right after the stabbing of the old Jaeger leader, the first Night and the first Naveah opened the door, then asked for directions innocently.

Afterwards barulah sejarah pembentukan kekaisaran dimulai, the first Night and the first Naveah with the magic they brought from another world, created an empire that united the nations on this planet.

One thing only known by Night, Naveah and Jaeger is that the selection of the emperor used to use Rock-Paper-Scissors, the loser became the emperor because among the three of them, everyone didn't want to bear such a troublesome thing as becoming an emperor, and Night lost at that time.

Her name is Syrl Jaeger .

And the Cygnus family is a family of merchants and dancers who have beautiful faces with star symbols on the side of their eyes, they supported the first Night at that time, they are very wealthy, but Sister Safir seems to have a slightly different way of thinking.

Orion sighed.

"I'm a bit surprised with the people in this world, they are all so ridiculous, isn't it technically that the first Night was kidnapped by my ancestors, and the first Naveah followed because she was Night's childhood friend."

He then shook his head.

"Forget it!."

Orion then continued walking after reflecting earlier.

"Alright, let's go mining."
