The Hero’s Brother Is Bound To Be Depressed

59 – Iron Blood

After meeting with Ross, Lawton hurriedly got into the carriage and returned home.

Because while we were drinking tea and talking, a question arose in my head at Ross’s words for the first time in a while.

Why do platinum flowers only grow on cliffs? Lawton simply thought it was due to environmental factors, but he never bothered to think about the underlying cause.

Climbing the mountain, Lawton moved to a place he didn’t normally go, and used magic to safely descend the cliff.

There was usually no reason to go down the cliff, so it was a place I rarely visited except when I had to pass by to collect flowers.

The bottom of the cliff, as deep as an abyss, was lit up with green butterflies as the sunlight did not enter, and Lawton arrived and immediately looked around.

Lawton had experienced flying up and down the mountain as a bird, attracted by the sweet smell of the Platinum flower, flew to it, then turned to stone and fell to the bottom of the cliff.

So, just like Ross said. The bottom of the cliff was supposed to be full of birds that had been turned into statues by touching flowers, but at the bottom of the cliff where the green butterflies had passed, there were fewer statues than he often saw.

Just in case, he counted the statue again. It was certainly true that there were fewer of them.

As Ross said, someone could have accidentally found the statue at the bottom of the cliff and sold it on the market.

But I’ve never seen a person come near the cliff, and above all, there was no trace of a person’s foot at the bottom of the cliff. Climbing the cliff again with the statue there was difficult unless you were a wizard.

It was very strange that a wizard would come down a cliff, take a statue of a bird, and sell it on the market….

Thinking that there might be a reason for the small number of statues, Lawton decided to look under the cliff. He dug up the black soil and checked the state of the statue lying on the floor. Nothing special caught Lawton’s eyes.

Hour passed, and nothing changed except Lawton and the green butterfly at the bottom of the cliff, immersed in silence and darkness.

‘Maybe it’s because of the light?’

It came to Lawton’s mind that the light emitted by the green butterfly might have prevented things from happening in the dark.

Lawton immediately called the green butterflies together, and turned off the light. He used magic to get rid of his own smell and scattered vine seeds around him.

Like a skilled fisherman who spreads rice cakes and waits for fish to come. Lawton held his breath, and he sat on a rock for hours, listening and waiting.

Finally, at the bottom of the cliff, which was like an abyss, small changes began to occur.

Little by little, Lawton’s ears began to hear crunching noises, sounds like something being scraped with a stone, and animal footsteps.

If you hastily lift the fishing rod just because the float is shaking before the hook is properly caught in the fish’s mouth, you will miss the fish.

Lawton clenched his wand tightly until there was a clear reaction. Just, he waited in the dark.

Finally, what had been making a small, wary sound gradually approached Lawton with footsteps. Then, let it stop and make a sound as if it were spitting out something. Lawton, who freed his legs that had been frozen in advance, got up from his seat and scattered green butterflies all over the place, emitting light.

When a cackling scream came from somewhere in the green light that lit up the bottom of the cliff, which had been full of darkness, Lawton swung his cane straight toward it without hesitation.

Recognizing that the vines that grew quickly caught on something, Lawton sent a green butterfly to identify them.

It was a bizarre-looking monster that Lawton had never heard of or seen in his life.

Its outer skin was as hard as a mineral, and its red eyes seemed smaller than fingernails. The forelimbs were very large compared to the body, and judging from the iron-like claws, it was assumed that they were used for digging. Among them, the most eye-catching was the long protruding mouth.

Carefully approaching, Lawton swung his staff and bound the monster with vines so that it could not resist.

“What were you doing….”

Lawton stopped his words in shock as he checked what the monster was trying to do.

In front of an unknown monster.

I discovered that the stone statue of a bird melted into something like sticky saliva and returned to its original form.

After all the lessons, when I’m tired and I’m pressing my eyelids with the palm of my hand. Lakar, who was sitting next to me, suddenly asked.

“Ross, do you remember my sister?”

At the sudden question, I managed to answer from memory.

“That, the chief of the 3rd year combat department…. Was her name Ramine? ?”

I let out a sigh of relief in my heart when I saw Lakar smiling happily at my words.

“Yeah, that’s right. My sister said she wanted to meet you once.”

“Me?”

After showing a puzzled look at the contextless situation, La Carr hurriedly added his words.

“Talk about the club with my sister. A little of your compliments must have sparked interest in you.”

I understood the situation at Lakar’s words and nodded my head. It wasn’t difficult to say hello to Lakar’s sister, so there was no reason to refuse.

“Okay, shall we go right now?”

“Would you like to?”

As if I was happy that he had accepted it right away, without any sign of worry, I tapped Lacard on his forearm and said as he smiled.

“Something difficult between friends.”

I went straight to the 3rd grade classroom with Lakar. As I see every time I go to Roel’s classroom, I see one of them surrounded by friends.

With just a glance, you could tell he was from the Lakar family, with Lakar’s characteristic red hair standing out.

It was a man with short red hair that seemed to have added a little bit of confidence to Lacard and added good looks.

He had such a boyish charm that you would mistakenly think he might be a handsome older brother if you hadn’t heard of him as an older sister.

“Ramine sister.”

As Lakar called out his name, Ramine turned his gaze to us.

She made eye contact with me, and La Mine, with a handsome smile, said something to the people around her and then came over to us.

“Hello, nice to meet you. Ramine, Lacard’s older sister. I’ve heard a lot about it.”

Because of Lamine’s confident handshake, I unknowingly bowed down and received a handshake.

“Hello. This is Lakar’s friend Ross. I also heard a lot of good things from Lakar.”

Whether it’s a family feature, besides the red hair. With her model-like height, La Mine was about the same level as hers.

La Mine brings up the story of La Carr’s childhood, and she asked me during a conversation.

“He is reticent, so even if he has something he wants to say, he can’t say it well. It’s frustrating, but it’s because I’m kind, so please understand.”

“What are you talking about…. I speak well.”

“Really?”

I laughed at the thought that Lacard’s slightly averting gaze at Lamine’s teasing gaze was similar to my appearance when Roel was by my side.

“If there’s anything I can help with, just let me know. If something happens to Lakar, be sure to visit me.”

Like Roel, Ramine seemed to have a similar mindset towards her brother. What’s different is that Ramine’s hand tapping my arm is spicier than Roel’s?

As we were continuing such a good atmosphere, someone’s voice suddenly interrupted.

“Renee! We are going out, would you like to go out to dinner together?”

As a woman who appeared to be Ramine’s friend approached, Ramine turned around behind her and nodded her head.

“Is that so?”

Seeing La Mine smile, I was shocked as if I had been run over by a passing carriage, and I flinched from her.

“What did you just say… ?”

Lamine’s friend, who was looking at my question, tilted her head.

“Huh?”

“Why do you call Ramine sunbaenim Rene… ?”

I couldn’t hide my anxiety, so I asked in a tense voice. Ramine, who was next to her, answered as if it was no big deal.

“Ah, that’s my nickname. When I first entered the school, many people confused her name, Rene. As a result, there are often kids who call me that.”

At Lamine’s words, I observed Lamine’s appearance once again.

Black eyes, short red hair…. Fortunately, there were no big scars on her face, but my anxiety didn’t go away yet.

Yeah, she could simply be the same name. I masturbated like that and asked in a cautious voice.

“What kind of weapon does Ramine-senpai use? ?”

As I looked at La Mine, eagerly hoping I was wrong, her friend next to him cut in.

“Huh? Don’t you know laminae? The chief of the 3rd year combat club who uses spears and shields. You don’t know the iron-blooded René?!”

Ramine shouted at her friend’s teasing behavior.

“Hey! She told me not to call her by that nickname!”

“Why ~ her juniors don’t know, so she’s telling them! Why iron blooded~ During the grade exam, yes-!!! Surrender, surrender. Surrender!!!”

Ramine’s headlocked friend hurriedly tapped Ramine’s arm.

“I was wrong. Canna?”

“Wrong!!! Release me!”

After receiving Kanna’s apology for her heartbreak, Ramine undid her headlock, and Kanna whimpered and rubbed the nape of her neck.

La Carre shook her head in embarrassment, but I couldn’t help but look at La Mine with a stupid face.

If my prediction is correct, she is La Carre’s older sister. Ramine, the head of the 3rd year combat club….

Later, he became the owner of the Spear of Destruction under the title of Iron Blood.

The number 3 member of Confsion, which was directly established by the head of the church.

A great wizard and called a sage.

He was the villain who killed Principal Nelson.
