A delicate balance 1.24 - ING. VERSIÓN

-Ooooh, it seems that the Great Viggo honors us with his presence- said a brunette woman in her nineteenth years. She had black hair, a pair of dark eyes like two olives, and a big friendly smile.

-Tsubaki, don't call me that- said Viggo looking at Tsubaki. She was standing next to an anvil while holding a hammer with her right hand and a red-hot metal with her left. She was only wearing a bandage around her huge breasts and a hakama from the waist down. Viggo with his ten years, felt a little pressured by the size of those breasts. Technically they were not brothers, but since they grew up together, had to recognize the kinship. On the other hand, Tsubaki was the one who always got rid of him from trouble and saved his ass, like the last time he almost didn't live to tell it.

Viggo came with the intention of visiting her in his workshop, but seeing that brown skin, almost without fat compared to those huge soft-textured breasts, he was tempted.

-Oh, the brat grew- Tsubaki said without losing his smile. She stood up and walked to Viggo with open arms, wielding a big malicious smile. Then she came in front of Viggo and watching him off guard, hugged him and pressed his head against her breasts. It should be a great experience for Viggo, but Tsubaki crushed him against her breasts. Viggo was screaming a few things, like he was drowning him, but all Tsubaki did was rub him against her breasts and drown out his words.

After a minute, Viggo felt that he was short of breath, but Tsubaki just let go.

-How about it? Did you feel good?- asked Tsubaki with a burlesque smile.

Viggo was gasping trying to catch his breath. He looked her in the face and said -you almost killed me-

-That happens to you by looking at what you should not– Tsubaki scold him putting a more serious face –if a man looks at a woman that way, he must be prepared to defend himself or respond– then she came over and grabbed Viggo's testicles –and you're not ready, aren't you?– she blinked as if she couldn't believe what she was touching and took off her hands –well, it seems so-

-Hey! don't touch me- replied Viggo angrily, grabbing his own testicles. The touch felt a little strange and he felt a kind of tingling, but ignorant of what he felt, he just frowned –What were you talking about not looking at what one should not? How about touching what one should not?-

Tsubaki turned her back and said without giving the importance –you touched my tits, we are at hand – then she went back to her anvil, took a long clamp and took the metal she was tempering to take it back to the oven –Why were you coming?– ask with a touch of annoyance –I'm busy- she put the metal bar in the oven.

-I came to visit, I wanted to see you, is there a problem?- asked Viggo frowning.

-Not at all, I thought that my old lady had sent you to convince me to get married. This year my old lady sent Tatsumi and Flora. Old witch, as she know they are my treasures, she knows I'm not going to put them in their place-

-What about me?-

-The Great Viggo?-

-¡Tsubaki!-

Tsubaki let out a mocking laugh and pulled the metal out of the furnace that was red hot again. Then she took it to the anvil and put him to lay down –I would beat you; such a troublesome boy deserves to be punished just in case-

-I haven't given trouble in a long time- said Viggo, frowning and with a spoiled tone.

-But you gave them, you worried us all, my old man, my old woman, the whole family. To me- Tsubaki said as she took the hammer and began to temper the metal -so if you don't have anything positive to say, you'd better leave-

-I understand, I'll leave- replied Viggo sadly, turned his back on her and walked out of the workshop. He felt bad, because he thought that Tsubaki would welcome him with open arms and not with that indifferent attitude.

-Damn braz! You haven't grown anything in all this time- Tsubaki shout -at the slightest problem you run away like a coward. You'll never be a damn man if you can't face things-

Viggo turned around and said without understanding -But you said?-

-And What? you said you came to see me. However, here I am and you don't show any confidence. It looks like you're the same idiot who left last year-

-I can't do anything if you attack me that way- Viggo shouted back.

-You could, but since you're a kid, you don't even know how to deal with the situation- Tsubaki replied with disdain -come back when you're a man and have the guts to face things- Then she raised the hammer and began to hit the metal. However, she was so angry that she only managed to plug in what she was doing and all her work was spoiled. Then she furious with herself, took the red-hot metal with her hand and threw it against a wall.

At the same time, Viggo couldn't believe how brute Tsubaki was. He stood staring at Tsubaki while she looked at the metal nailed to the wall. She seemed lost in thought, unaware that her hand had burned and was bleeding.

Viggo walk to where she was and take her hand. Tsubaki pull it hard and Viggo was unable to hold it back.

-Leave me, brat- Tsubaki said with an angry face.

-Stupid Tsubaki- replied Viggo, stretched out his hand and grabbed his wrist. Then he pulled the hand to his body and saw how she had burned the first two capable of skin. The shape of the metal had been marked on the flesh and the wound was bleeding. Viggo took her out of the workshop and took her to the house right next door. It was a small place, with a room, a bathroom and a dining room.

Viggo sat her down in a dining room chair and went to the bathroom to find something to clean the wound. Soon he returned with bandages and a bottle of burn ointment.

-Place your hand on the table with your palm facing the ceiling- Viggo said in a neutral tone of voice.

Tsubaki dropped his hand on the table and frowned in pain, but bit his lips to avoid making any noise. Viggo denied how brute she was. Then he took the ointment and began to clean the wound.

-What have you been doing all this time?- asked Tsubaki in a low voice.

-They took me to a distant land, where I met a bald man who taught me to fight- replied Viggo as he performed the healings.

-Is him strong?-

-They say he's as strong as Dad-

-Impossible- Tsubaki said definitively.

Viggo smiled upon hearing her and remembered that, for Tsubaki, Kain was the greatest thing in the world.

-That's why I said "they say." I don't know either, but that he's a strong guy, he is-

Once Viggo cleaned the wound from his hand, he began bandaging it while Tsubaki frowned in pain. Viggo noticed this, but thought it was natural. Only Tsubaki would think in a fit of fury to take a red-hot iron.

-What have you been doing?-

-Work, practice, drink and work-

-Aren't you too young to be a drunk?-

-Shut up, you idiot, that's why you're not popular with women. A man should never say those things about a woman-

-Whatever, you're just Tsubaki, so those subtleties are unnecessary-

-Do you want to fight?-

-Okay, but be good-

Tsubaki snapped her tongue as if she was upset, but in the end, she smiled at the see of Viggo bandage her. Viggo was his favorite brother because it was like having a troubled little puppy. He was always doing some stupidity to get everyone's attention. However, it seems that the troublesome puppy grew up and stop hiding from trouble. Well, not quite, she frowned as she remembered the excuses he put up.

-Hey Viggo- said Tsubaki.

-What do you want now?- asks Viggo indifferently, finish the last turn of the bandage and fasten it with a pin.

-Next time let's go drink- Tsubaki said.

-Well, but it's going to be many years until that time- Viggo said.

-And why?-

-Well, let's say I'm having a little vacation. After this break, I will perform a test and if all goes well, I will continue with my training. I don't know how many years it will take me to return to Orario-

-My old man is crazy- Tsubaki said, breathing a sigh, unable to believe that the gentle Kain had sent his son to travel the world.

-Well, technically they're dad and mom. They both agreed that it would be best for me to go and train outside-

Tsubaki raised his face and asked -What do you think?-

Viggo raised his face looking at the ceiling and then looked Tsubaki in the face –I think it was also good– he said –it gave me time to think about many things and to value what I had. Life changed a lot for me in that place. You will see...-

Then Viggo sat in a chair, in front of Tsubaki and began to tell her all his experiences in that world. Of how his teacher was, who was so cold in that land, how were the monsters and how much was the difference with the dungeon. However, Viggo stopped after half an hour, as he saw Tsubaki frown on several occasions.

-Come, let's go home, Dad will heal your hand- Viggo said.

-Not to mention, I don't want to go home, my mother's old witch is going to be there and she's going to insist that I get married- Tsubaki said.

-Who can't face their problems?- asked Viggo with a mocking smile.

Tsubaki gave him a reproachful look, pouted nicely, and nodded -okay- she said.

Viggo was fascinated by his sister's tender expression.

-What's wrong? did you go dumb?-

-No, no, not at all- Viggo said as he blushed. Then he smiled and said -Come on, we'll go together and ask Dad to heal you-

-Okay, I just wish that old witch was busy with her tent-

-Yes, well, come on- Viggo insisted. Tsubaki put on a small kimono that reached up to his waist. The model was white, sleeveless and with pink edges. At the same time, Viggo went to turn off the oven and close the blacksmith shop. Once he returned, Tsubaki was ready and together they left the house.

-When have you become strong, brat?- asked Tsubaki as he watched the crowd crowded in front of the gun and armor shops in the blacksmith district.

-I don't know, when I was little I thought the Orario system was perfect. However, now it seems so imprecise to me. However, I feel that, if I give my all in a match, I could fight against a level 4-

-Hey, hey, hey, you left only a year. At that time you luckily had the strength of a level 2. It's impossible that you would have become so strong in one fell swoop-

Viggo raised his shoulders and said -that's what I feel-

-We are going to tell the old man to also heal your brain, you have it damaged-

-It's not my fault that you're the weak one now-

-Oh, great words for a brat who still doesn't get hair down there-

-That has nothing to do with it. If you want to fight, fight, otherwise shut up-

Tsubaki snorted indignantly and began to murmur –just look and wait, once my hand is healed I will give you the beating of your life–

However, Viggo could hear her and smiled full of confidence –if you think so, let's fight-

-Are you sure? Even if you are my little brother I will hit you with all my strength-

-I have spent a whole year being hit by someone a hundred times stronger than you, your blows will be like the puncture of a mosquito-

-You're weird enough to be proud of that-

-Shut up, silly Tsubaki, do you fight or not?-

-Of course, I fight- said Tsubaki frowning -if I lose I will burst your cherry, brat-

Viggo looked at Tsubaki and she looked at him seriously at first, but when she began to see the rest of the passers-by who were looking at her stunned by what she said. She blushed, looked down, and began to walk ahead.

-Tsubaki, what is that?- asked Viggo.

-Shut up, you, you make me say pure idiocy- replied Tsubaki moving forward as fast as possible with her head down and red ears.
