Chapter 16

                                    

                                          
Jade Leywin POV
It's been a few months since that little accident at the Auction House since then me and Lilia started going there once a week to spar with some of the guards, thanks to this my proficiency with my daggers improved quite a bit, it was still lacking compared to my conjuring skills but I wouldn't be completely useless in a close range fight anymore
We are currently eating breakfast when suddenly I felt a familiar mana signature appearing from the teleportation gate, one I haven't felt in years
He's back
'So your brother is back?' Yozora asked
'Yeah, he should be here in a matter of minutes, I'm going to tell him about you tonight okay?'
'Are you planning on telling him everything?'
'No, I'll just tell him you're from a different world and you're looking for a way to go home, I'm not going to tell him about my knowledge' I clarify, telling Art about future events might prove disastrous and it would be unsettling for him to know his whole life was basically just a story
'Alright'
"Mom I think we should call dad and tell him to return home" I tell mom
"Why? Did you sense something wrong?" mom asked worried
"Let's just say someone he really wants to meet will be here in minutes" I reply with a smile
"Okay I'll ask someone to go inform him" mom just agrees, I guess she really is used to all the crazy things I pull off
"Who is it?" Lilia asks me curious
"You'll see"
Minutes later as mom was trying to feed Ellie someone knocks at the door, just like in the novel Ellie jumps off her chair and starts running towards the front door, we all follow her and once there we see an auburn haired boy standing in the doorway, he's staring at Ellie when mom reprimands her
"Eleanor Leywin!, You have got to stop running to the front door every time someone…"
She cuts off mid-sentence as she recognizes who the guy is
"H-hi mom. I-I'm home" he mutters awkwardly while waving his hand
At this mom just dashes forward at a speed rivaling dad's when he uses his flames and take him into a bear hug
"Oh my baby! Arthur!!" 
Yep Art's back, my brother finally returned
Seeing mom and Art hug each other crying makes me tear up a little as well
"Jade, who is he?" Lilia asks me confused, since we never told the Helsteas about Art surviving the fall it's no wonder she's confused
"That's my brother, Arthur" I whisper holding back my tears
"But I thought..." 
"Yeah, he was alive but due to some circumstances asked us to not tell anyone about his survival, I'm sure he'll explain everything"
As I explain things to Lilia, I can see dad running as fast as he could, drenched in sweat
"Arthur!"
As he reaches them he takes all 3 of them in a hug
"Arthur! My son! Look how big you are. Oh my God! You're back, you're back!"
They stay like this for several minutes, mom sobbing uncontrollably while dad just stared at him
After everyone managed to settle down we move to the living room and sit on the couches
"Did you know he was coming back Jade?" mom questions me
