92 – Brother

I admire Miris for saying it was a good idea, and after complimenting her to the point that Miris’ face blushed.

I immediately went to Professor Histri’s office….

“Professor Heath Tree is busy talking to other scholars right now. So I think it’s a bit difficult for the professor and her juniors to talk.”

I couldn’t meet Professor Histri.

“I tried so hard to find you, but I’m really sorry…”

“No, it’s my fault for coming without an appointment. I’m really sorry.”

“No, Professor Heathley likes to talk with the students, so it’s okay to come as long as you make an appointment in advance. Oh, can I make an appointment now? It will take two weeks, but…”

“Yes, please.”

I bowed my head to the apologetic senior who seemed to be Professor Heathree’s assistant, and scratched her head after coming out.

‘I was so excited that I forgot the obvious……. Just because I want to meet the professor right away, there’s no way I can meet right away without an appointment….’

Professor Histri is one of the professors representing Valhalla Academy. She is one of the nouns famous throughout the continent.

There is no way that such a person’s schedule can afford to meet a student who arrives without an appointment right away.

‘… Well, I was just worried about the unidentified hero because of the strange feeling, but it wasn’t that urgent.’

I put the scheduled date for the conversation with Professor Histri in a corner of my head, shook off a bit of regret, and moved to the classroom where I had my next class.

After finishing the afternoon lecture without much happening, I changed into Mistiltein’s form and moved to Karabog’s mercenary guild.

“Hey, Mistiltein. Are you going to work tonight?”

“He comes every day without a day off. Even though he’s a mercenary, he’s really diligent.”

“Hello! Mr. Mistiltein!”

.

.

.

After an urgent request, I was greeted by the rookie mercenaries who looked at me in awe and the mercenaries with a slightly friendly attitude, went up the stairs, and stopped in front of a room for lodging.

Smart- and lightly knocked.

“Yes, come in.”

When I opened the door at the polite woman’s voice coming from inside, I saw two sisters who were so similar that if it weren’t for the age difference, they would be twins.

“Looks like you opened your eyes.”

I opened my mouth as I cast my eyes toward the younger one of them, who was looking at me with curious eyes.

“Yes, I barely woke up a few hours ago. It’s all thanks to Master.”

Ezerina, who started calling me Master after she said she would serve me (at first, I was going to call her Master, but somehow Baek-yi protested, so I eventually changed it to Master). Ezerina bowed her head deeply.

And the moment she was about to tell her brother about me lying in her bed.

“Yes, the silver of life that saved you…”

“──Angel!”

Kwaak-

A girl named Ene jumped out of bed, and in an instant she jumped on me and took me into my arms.

“Ah…! This gentle warmth that brought me to tears…! A cozy body feeling that reassures me deeply…! I’m sure! You are the angel who saved me…!!!”

…… Angel?

Looking down at the girl rubbing her face so much that her navy blue hair, which fell from her chest to her shoulders, fluttered, let me ask a question.

From noble mtl dot com

The girl in her arms, you looked up at me with indigo blue eyes resembling her older sister, full of her goodwill, and opened her mouth with her excited face.

“Yes! Right before I sink into the cold swamp of death, the angel who came down from the sky wearing a nightcloth and saved me! I saw it clearly even in my blurry vision…!”

…… When he jumped down to rescue him, he saw the ‘Midnight Black Robe’ fluttering in the wind and mistook it for wings… ?

If you saw it right before you died, it might look like that.

“Eh, yes…! How rude to Master…! Come here now!”

“I hate it…!”

“Yes…!”

Ezerina, who had been frozen for a moment by her sudden behavior, scolded her younger sister in astonishment, but….

The girl dug deeper into my arms.

Ezerina, who was looking at her sister with her embarrassed eyes, tried to get rid of her brother again….

“Stop it, Ezerina….I’m fine.”

I stopped her.

“Ha, but… Master…”

“(…Look closely at your brother’s current condition.)”

“Yes…? Ah…”

Whisper only she can hear with her magic. After listening to me, take a closer look at her sister. Ezerina let out a sigh and made a bitter face.

The body of the girl who hugged me tight enough for her to make such a face was trembling so much that everyone who saw it felt sorry for her.

‘I have no choice but to….’

Even in a fantasy world where death is closer than modern times, a girl who looks like a junior high school student is tortured and brought to the brink of death literally.

Ezerana’s failure to notice her sister’s condition until now must be because this clever girl hid her feelings from her sister so as not to cause her concern.

That must have been the bursting of her suppressed emotions when she saw me who had saved her.

“…It’s okay now.”

I hope that the girl’s wounded spirit will heal even a little.

He hugged her girl and stroked her hair as softly and kindly as she could with her hand clad in her feeble divine magic.

Swoop- Swoop-

After silently stroking it for several minutes, I could feel the girl’s trembling gradually diminishing.

“…Thank you, Angel!”

Eventually, Ene loosened her hands and smiled brightly as she moved away from me.

The fear in the girl’s eyes was gone, and her girlish intelligence was shining again.

I think I’m a little better now… , … Shall I tell you what I wanted to say earlier?

“…For now, stop calling me an angel.”

Somehow, I feel like I’ve become the head of a pseudo-religion, so I get goosebumps.

“Ah…! Then what should I call it?”

“…Call it whatever you want. It doesn’t matter if it’s not an anchovy.”

“Ummm…Ah! Then, can I call you ‘brother’ from now on?”

“Eh, Ennet!!! Anyway, that’s too rude…!!!”

At my words, the girl who had been thinking with her arms crossed seemed to have a bright eye. At the words she uttered with a clear smile, Ezerina, whose face turned white, shouted.

“Eh~! It’s good, sister. I’ve always wanted such a reliable and kind person to be my family! …Oh, that’s a good idea! When your sister becomes your brother’s bride, your brother becomes your real brother, right? Maybe I’m a genius! It’s such a good idea that I’m afraid to even think about it!”

“What, what, what, is that nonsense…?!”

“……Wow. My sister, who was called cold-blooded among the mercenaries, is completely red! It was half a joke, but looking at this reaction, there is a real possibility…!!!”

“Eh, ehhhhh!”

I smiled with satisfaction as I watched the sisters chattering loudly.

Somehow, this sight alone seemed to be rewarding for the death-dealing battle with the Demonic Church.

After watching the sisters interact for a while, I slapped my back on the wall I was leaning on and opened my mouth at the end of their conversation.

“Slowly, tell me what I came for.”

“Yes, Master. You say it. I will do anything you command.”

“Me too, brother!”

“From now on, pack your personal belongings in the room. You can’t be tied to the guild forever.”

“Okay.”

“Yes!”

A sister who hears me and moves right away.

It took less than 5 minutes to pack everything, probably because it was only tied for two days.

“Yes! Brother, I have a question for you! Where are you going from now on?”

I opened my mouth to Ene’s question as she energetically raised her hand.

“This is my home.”

******

I brought my two sisters to the house where I first woke up in another world.

“This is my home.”

“Yes…?”

“Yes…?”

At my words, the sisters looked at me in front of me, tilted their heads, and looked at me and the front I was pointing at with a bewildered face.

“Hey, older brother… I don’t have anything, let alone a house…?”

“Hmm…?”

I realized my mistake after seeing their reaction.

“Ah… I’m sorry. I forgot to register you as non-targets in the installed barrier.”

I immediately looked at the sister’s magic pattern with my observation eye. I registered the sisters’ magic patterns in the multi-complex barrier that I installed myself, covering the entire house.

“Waaah…! A large two-story house suddenly appeared…!”

“They made it impossible to recognize such a large house without any sense of incongruity… It’s a very high-ranking barrier…”

“Go in first. Oh, don’t step on anything other than the path you’re walking on. The garden is densely packed with trap magic for intruders.”

The moment the pattern was registered, the sisters opened their eyes wide in surprise at the house that began to appear.

I took my two sisters, passed through a small garden, and entered the house.

“First of all, there are 4 rooms on the 1st floor and 4 on the 2nd floor. The room at the end of the 2nd floor is my room, so choose another room other than that room. After that, unpack your luggage and come back here. Gather.”

“Yes, Master. Yes, we can’t keep Master waiting, so let’s get this sorted out quickly.”

“Yes!”

In an instant, Ezerina enters the nearest room and Ene enters the room next to her.

Seeing that it came out again less than 10 seconds after that, it seems that the luggage was left unpacked.

If I told them to unpack their bags properly, they would just say that they had unpacked them.

So I didn’t say anything and went with them to the huge bookshelf on one side of the wall.

And let’s get some books halfway out of the huge bookshelf….

──Suddenly!

“The bookshelf…Moves…!?”

“Wow…!”

The bookshelf moved on both sides of its own accord, revealing a hole so deep that the bottom of the bookcase was hidden.

“Eggplant.”

I motioned my sister to follow me and, without hesitation, jumped down the hole first.
