Beware of the Brothers - Chapter 12
Hari’s POV
[Hi, brother Eugene.]
I wrote my first sentence on white paper and stopped my hand. It is not the first time I write a letter to him in this way, but the first start is always a concern for me.
No, no, in fact, the beginning, the middle, and the end were all troubling.
I sat at the desk and looked out the window. It was the day when autumn was approaching. Outside, the leaves stained with swelling were waving along the cool wind.
A leaf flew through the open window.
I moved my finger over it as I looked at
the leaves of the tree sitting down gently, with yellow dots on the paper.
Yes, time already passed like this. Also, how many times have I already met autumn in this house?
[Hi, brother Eugene. I’m doing fine.]
I was pondering over the leaves for a while and then wrote one more sentence in the letter.
There was something I want to tell him this time, but for some reason my hand was not moving well.
[I heard the news a while ago. This time…]
“Sister Hari!”
When I wrote up there, the door suddenly
opened by a visit from someone. Oh, I’m surprised. You suddenly come in without a knock.
Now, there was only one person who could come into my room directly from this house.
“Louise, I was surprised.”
I opened my mouth looking at the girl who entered my room. The girl with pale blue
hair and blue eyes was Johannes’s sister, Louise.
“It’s time, but sister hasn’t come down and I’ve picked you up.”
Louise, who had grown up in the meantime, couldn’t find her as a six-year old kid anymore. Louise was one year younger than my age and was already taller than me.
Huft, I’m also in the average height. No, it was actually a little shorter than the
average. But when I recalled my past life, my growth was about to come soon.
Louise often walked up and peeked down at me as she looked down at me as it is now.
“You were writing a letter?”
“Yeah. I didn’t know if the time had already passed like this. I’m going to go and write it later then.”
“Brother Erich is waiting downstairs.”
“Erich is going with us?”
“It’s no wonder, since sister is going. Of course he would go too.”
I stepped out of the room with the sizzling Louise and walked down the hallway of the now-used Vastia mansion.
Six years after I left Ernst. And the last time I met Eugene was around three years ago.
“Why did you come down so late?”
Erich struck as soon as he saw me on the first floor. His height, which began to grow from last summer, has risen almost half a mile above me.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know that time already passed.”
Then Erich, who knows that I pretend to be giving a good excuse, had a vague look at me this time.
“Be careful, guys.”
Mrs. Vastia showed us off when we left the mansion.
“Louise, Don’t be so excited, don’t go around alone and go with your sister and brother.”
“Mom, I’m not a kid.”
She seemed to be worried about Louise, who grew up like a tomboy.
Cool luck by the way, why does she seem like Cabel at first glance, in some way of Louise, who is laughing at her mother’s words?
Even when I opened the door and flipped
it back, the feeling did not gone. Um, no, this, it’s just because of the mood.
I shook my head and quickly threw away the shadow of Cabel from her, then smile at Countess Vastia.
“Don’t worry. We will take good care of Louise.”
“Oh, thank you all the time.”
She already does everything. Rather, it’s us who thank the people of Vastia.
“Why do you do that? Since I’m bad at it, You do it.”
“What are you talking about? Don’t you know you and I already in the same boat?”
So, Erich and I went out of the mansion as we screaming to pass on responsibility to each other.
“Sister, brother! Come on!”
Me, Erich, and Louise. The three of us went on the wagon, leaving Mrs. Vastia’s worries behind.
“I’m going to buy clothes first! And then shoes! Sister Hari’s shoes, last time you said you should fit it?”
Louise seemed excited about going out for a long time. It wasn’t that Erich and I were not so happy to see that……
But I was feeling anxiety coming up.
“Oh, they said there was a new delicious dessert shop. Let’s stop by there. Then, I’ll bought a box of almond bonbons from Sweet Valley, no, three boxes, and handicraft shop…”
Hearing that, I felt the need to talk, and interrupted her in the middle.
“Isn’t it impossible to go all at once today?”
“But we can’t go out often, so I have to pick a mulberry today!”
Where did you learn that?! Is it from Marian too?
Louise childhood friend, Marianne used to tell Louise about the cheap street language, saying that she had learned from a maid as usual because the maid had a pretty overwhelming background.
I shook my pupil for a moment, watching Louise, who used a very friendly speech for a noble lady.
“I quickly became tired, so I can’t go to many place at once.”
At that time, Erich, who was crossing his legs with a cheeky posture next to me, said that with a pretty look so that he looked gorgeous, and his posture looked
uselessly elegant.
But what does he say about his poor physical fitness?
“Then brother will leave first.”
Louise concluded neatly.
“I can go with sister Hari.”
She shook her eyebrows as Erich was unhappy with her words.
“Who is going out with who? This one will go with me.”
“But sister Hari can’t leave me alone and go home with brother Erich. So you better
just giving up.”
She laughed openly, looking at Erich who wear a dissatisfied face as if the current situation was funny.
“Well, I think we can shove everything in today if we move fast enough.”
“Are you sure?”
Besides, it was because of us that we had to be careful about going out. In fact, it is only a year since we have been able to go out as freely as we do now.
I recall when the story of Ernst, who has been told to the couple and servant of Vastia over the past six years.
Then, I couldn’t help but feel a little bit stuffy inside.
“Carefully come down.”
Still, I wasn’t able to lengthen my useless thoughts when we arrived at our destination.
First, Erich, who got off the carriage,
reached out to me. I did hold his hand naturally, and suddenly I felt a new feeling.
“Why?”
Erich, who felt my gaze, asked as if in doubt. On the other hand, I was deeply moved.
“No, I thought you were really growing up
in the meantime.”
Our third brother became a man! When I get off the wagon, he push his hand and hold my hand! Even being an escort is very natural for him!
Yes! Had he been like in the past, he would never care whether I fell or not!
“What are you talking about?”
But in my words, Erich looked at me quickly and become chilly.
“Don’t pretend to be adult alone when we are in the same age.”
I praised you though. Still, this was a real improvement.
“Let’s go quickly!”
Louise jumped out of the wagon alone while we were talking again.
“Wait a minute, Louise! Let’s go together!”
Erich and I were forced to rush because she ran straight to the mall.
“Haha, you must have had a lot of trouble today, too.”
After hearing about the story, Count Vastia who returned to the mansion in the evening, laughed with a stiff smile.
We, who went out, were just deaf. Unlike the energetic Louise, Erich and I were
significantly become tired than half a day ago. Mrs. Vastia then said with a complexion.
“I’m worried because she is so curious.”
“Well, It’s an important thing for her to grow up healthy and brave.”
Louise said after unpacking the items she bought today, she went up to her room.
Erich said that it was hard today, so he quickly went up to the second floor of the mansion.
So, it was only I who was with Vastias now. Then they laughed and said to me.
“Louise suddenly wanted to go to the academy to see what the academy was like, so I was a little worried. Still, it’s a relief Hari will be with her.”
“Because there are also brother Cabel
and brother Johan in the academy, I want to visit it too. I was also curious because Erich has been studying there since last year.”
“Really, how much trouble would Louise have been getting alone if you weren’t even here? Thank you for coming.”
I felt it from before, but the Vastia couple
seems to be a real adult.
Now, the brothers entered academy and live in a dormitory, but even when the two brothers stayed there, the Vastia couple
never gave us a sideway glance, and even thanked me for taking care of Louise.
In fact, all I do is take a class with a tutor with Louise or play with her.
In the beginning, we are only one year apart, It was unreasonable to say I was taking care of her because I didn’t.
Considering that they had accepted the three of us into Vastia at the request of Eugene in the first place, it was by this way that we did not failed to express our gratitude many times.
Of course, it wasn’t too naive to be regarded as a pure favor with no political interests, but it was a great favor to keep looking at us like this until today.
I just didn’t know that after the Ernst couple died, Eugene and Vastia have been
in constant contact.
It has been a month since the academy was declared to be visited. Johannes and Cabel at the Academy, and Erich was
attending the school too.
Originally, it was only family heirs who were forced to enter academic institutions, but Cabel and Erich were stubborn.
The Vastia couples told us that it is dangerous for us to get out of Vastia’s protection and go outside.
No one has elaborated on Ernst and the bloody blood that is reddening Ernst surroundings, but the atmosphere around us recklessly make us knew, but neither of them overturned brothers decision, and neither did they like it.
I do not seem to know about it too much.
“I don’t like it.”
When I approached the stairs on the 2nd floor while thinking such things and that, I suddenly heard a voice sinking low and digging through my eardrum.
Oh, I’m surprised. I looked up at Erich standing against the wall and sweeped my complicated heart.
“Did you not go into your room?”
He knew I was coming, and he didn’t feel
like he was present, but were you still standing here since we come back?
Since the other was busier than before, Erich was back in Vastia to take us to the Academy.
You might have been tired from going out for a long time, before, you even said you had a hard time, but what do you do
without taking a break now?
I asked the guy who’s looking down at me with a cold look.
“What do you not like?”
“They’re treating you as if you’re a Vastia.”
At that moment I stopped. Oh, I wasn’t the only one who felt that way. In fact, there were times when I felt a bit offended during my stay here.
Like Cabel and Erich, I’m just a temporary family member who has been entrusted to this place for a while, but for some reason, I feel like I’m dealing with it a bit too much.
However, it wasn’t one or two times when I looked at myself that I felt a little different than my brothers, I think they treat me like a daughter.
Ho, maybe they’re treating me like their daughter-in-law…
I kept thinking that way because it was the fate that I should have been their daughter-in-law in the future.
Otherwise, I was feeling embarrassed by myself. And soon, at the next of Erich’s comment, I paused.
“You’re not Vastia, you’re Ernst.”
When I lifted my head, Erich, still with a chilly face, caught my eye. He felt my gaze and frowned.
“What you looking at?”
“No, just.”
“Why are you laughing?”
“Well, just because?”
I suddenly smiled and Erich didn’t
understand, but I grabbed his arm and took a step in the air without saying anything else.
“We’ll finally see brother Cabel soon in the
academy.”
“Whenever there’s older brother, it’s noisy because he’s too loud. I don’t like it.”
*********
‘Let’s break up for a while.’
When I think of that day while I sleep at night, I’m soaked in the emotional
emotions that make my heart flutter, and I remember that painful memory many times.
I chose to drop it away, but the feelings and memories continue to recalled in my head.As he said that, none of the three of us who faced his face could say no.
I also swallowed the difficult words to the end of my neck. Are you going to sending us away? If we leave you… You are left alone.
‘I will definitely pick you up. I Promise.’
But he wasn’t going to make an easy decision either, so we left Ernst in honor of Eugene’s opinion. The place where we stayed after that was the Vastia.
Countess Vastia, who can be said to be a perfect stranger without any connection to us, except for a relationship with the
dead Ernst couple, is not one of Ernst’s many family members.
Somehow my mouth feel bitter. To the fact that he cannot easily rely on or trust any
of the countless people who have come to the funeral of Ernst.
Of course, that doesn’t mean I haven’t met Eugene ever since. It is irregular, but
usually once a year, he walked directly to Vastia to meet us.
Every time I meet him, he’s getting sharper and sharper. His cold atmosphere, which gradually became tighter and harder, made his heart go away.
At one point I realized it. Alas, yes. He must have grown up alone this way in
the past life.
The reason why we couldn’t go out freely while being protected by Vastia was in case of danger of the case we don’t know, but what about Eugene?
Unlike us, isn’t Eugene left in Ernst without any protection?
With that thought, I couldn’t fall asleep easily at any time. Even more, because I haven’t been able to meet him since three years ago.
Huft. Eventually I got up from bed and went back to my desk and sat down.
When I turned on the light, my vision became brighter than before. After that, I opened a book that I had put on one side of the desk.
I hesitated and took out the letter I had tucked in between.
[Hi, brother Eugene. I’m doing fine. There is a news that I heard about a while ago. This time…]
The last part of the letter that was stopped there was still a blank space.
In the silence of the night, I hesitated for a long time afterwards, and then put ink on the pen again. Then I slowly moved my hand to finish the sentence I was writing.
[…This time, I heard you’re engaged to Lady Velontia.]
It was the same as the past before, that Eugene was engaged to Rosabella Velontia.
However, since the date was a little earlier than the original, I had to shake when I heard the news for the first time.
[Congratulations.]
I handed a congratulatory message, but once again, my hand stopped without my knowledge.
But once I closed my eyes again and opened it, I moved my hand over the paper again, like when I just hesitated until while ago.
It seems like it wasn’t the first time this happened, I could write a letter only after a late time because I couldn’t subdue the nursery rhymes.
[Congratulations, brother Eugene.]
Eventually, the letter of today could not be written long by me.
It was at the age of 28 that Eugene married Rosabella Velontia. It was indeed a long engagement period to recall that the first conversation came and went when he was 21 years old.
Unlike Cabel, who was married for love, Eugene’s marriage was for a thorough political purpose.
If so, why wouldn’t he get married earlier and have a stronger bond, but maybe I
just don’t know, there was an important reason there.
Anyway, so the first of us who got married was Cabel. When he was 25, he had a wedding ceremony with his love, Viscountess Temperott, who was on the verge of falling.
Since it was a marriage with Ernst and a family that did not match everywhere, the news of Cabel’s marriage became a great gossip that made Arlanta lively.
And at the end of the year, Eugene married Rosabella Velontia, his fiancée.
For some reason, after the engagement, it was a sudden move in contrast to the delayed marriage, but it was a combination of two great families.
Eugene at the wedding hall looked cold and sharp as usual.
No one dares to ignore Ernst’s young Duke, but his face contrasts with Cabel, who was laughing happily on his wedding day, so I remember that I was feeling heavy that day.
Of course, if I had such a sentiment out of my mouth, he might have laughed at me, who dared to sympathize with him?
Perhaps he was going to dismissed it as a bullshit of a trivial sissy and ignored it.
After the ceremony was over, I hid my
inner heart and uttered a congratulations on him, and for a moment he turned around, saying “thank you” and then not saying anything anymore.
Perhaps it was because of that memory that I was worried about the news that he was engaged to Rosabella Velontia again.
It would be nice if it was a decision because he really care for her unlike the last time.
And if so, my current worries would have been inclined. I completely sealed the letter to Eugene.
Before I did, I added a sentence at the bottom of the paper.
[ps. Either way, I want brother Eugene to be happy.]
Good.
**********
“It’s time.”
“I’m leaving now!”
Erich’s voice was heard outside the door, as I leaving my room with a hat and a letter. Me, Erich, and Louise headed for an academic institute on the Islands.
Louise, who had long wanted to see the academic institute, was very excited and talked happily. Erich was still a bit tired.
And I felt refreshed on a long-distance carriage trip.
“Sister, do you want to eat cookies? Or lemon candies? Oh, or Madeleine and macaroons.”
“Are you on a picnic now?”
“What’s the difference of this with a picnic?”
Erich felt as perplexed as it was, but Louise was stunned.
By the way, even those two people became really close compared to the first time.
At first, I was wondering if they could get along well by not talking to each other
whether they were both inside or outside, but they do.
“Oh, we arrived!”
We were able to get to the academy by riding in a wagon for two hours. As usual, Erich first got off the wagon.
But shortly thereafter, instead of turning around and reaching out to us, he looked forward and said.
“Brother Cabel.”
Oh, maybe Cabel came out to meet him. Louise, who still doesn’t like Cabel very much, screamed “Ugh” in front of me.
I leaned my head down and looked out the door. Then, immediately after three weeks, the appearance of Cabel was in front of me. He ran toward us.
“Why did you come so late?”
The 17-year-old Cabel was now looking at the border between a boy and an adult.
Besides, he always trained himself, and his lunge height was very large and he had a slender body, and like the current
knight, his muscles were strong.
By the way, are we a little late? It seems that he waited unintentionally. Instead of Erich, Cabel reached out to me.
I grabbed his hand and got off the wagon. Maybe it’s not that we’re late. Then it’s a little annoying to soothe him..
“I’m sorry, the road seems a bit blocked… Oops!”
“I’m happy that you come.”
I turned around. Because Cabel held me round and round in place. He was like a child who was so excited that he laughed and expressed joy with his whole body.
My, he was so happy, second brother ah? It’s a good thing that I didn’t get
squished, but isn’t this something?
By the way, I’m still a bit concerned about my average height, but he’s still lifting me up like this!
Huft. My pride hurts for some reason. And now I’m dizzy, stop this now.
“Brother Cabel, please drop me off.”
“Get me off.”
“Oh oh oh oh!”
“Oh, I want to stop now!”
I screamed because I couldn’t speak.
Nevertheless, the second brother put me down as if he was satisfied only after turning me round and round in the air to the point where my head was getting dark.
I’m dizzy. Next to me who start staggering, Erich caught me.
“Brother, do something.”
“I’ve not commited murder! It’s because she’s so fragile!”
Still, I know you were excited to see us after such a long time, but I was sorry for some reason that I just shouted
unintentionally before.
I headed for the second brother in front of me and said hello to him for a while.
“Brother Cabel, how are you? Have you
doing well?”
“Un!”
“Did you eat well?”
“Un!”
“You don’t fight with friends?”
“Yeah!”
I raised my hand like a compliment and bitterly carress Cabel’s head. Oh, but he was taller than me. Why Is it hard to stroke your hair like this?
Still, as usual, Cabel was letting me to stroke his head with a sneak peek glace at me.
He could pretend not to feel good, but
Cabel’s mouth was shaking happily.
“Hyuk!”
“Suck!”
“Hik!”
Ah, but suddenly, what is the sound of breath turning on? Suddenly I turned my head and I was surprised.
So far, I didn’t know because I was so dizzy because of Cabel, but why are there so many people around me?!
Moreover, even if they weren’t able to see it clearly, their eyes were wide open with their mouths open. They were staring at us with a huge shocked face.
When I embarrassed and gave up my hands, Cabel seemed to recognize the gaze around him. Soon he shouted to the surroundings.
“Hey, everyone, close your eyes! My sister is shy!”
Oh, this second brother! What are you doing in front of the other kids?
But the more amazing thing happened
afterwards. In the blackmail of Cabel, this group of students was starting to turn their eyes away as if they were used to it all at once.
This is ridiculous.
“Did I doing it well?”
What are you doing? What are you doing at school?! I mean! No, wasn’t the students just frightened?
It’s not because this shit is scary, but look like because it’s dirty and they’re avoiding it….
Anyway, I think I need a little interview!
“Brother Cabel… talk to me later.”
“Say? Yes! Why don’t you come to my room later?”
Do you know that I’m going to talk to you in a docile order now?
“Cabel, have you forgotten that the opposite sex is not allowed in the student residence?”
“Brother Johan!”
Ah, then Johannes appeared behind Cabel’s back. I found Cabel’s forehead waggling. The relationship between the two wasn’t so good a few years ago.
Louise jumped off the wagon and ran to Johannes. I don’t remember her for a moment as I was dizzy because of Cabel. I’m sorry, Louise!
“Oh, why did you come out so late!”
“I’m sorry, Louise. I tried to come out and wait in advance, but suddenly the professor called me.”
If our side was an insane siblings, this was like the reunion of affectionate siblings.
Like Cabel, Johannes really grew up in six years. Seeing that, now we are getting closer and closer to what we’ll be in the
future.
“Hari, you come too.”
Still, the smile on his face was similar the one in my childhood. Of course, he is more reliable than before, but he’s still the same.
One should still say that he’s still as sweet and caring.
“Isn’t it hard to come a long way?”
“No, it’s been good, since I’ve not been in a trip for long time.”
Johannes welcomed Louise after a brief greeting to me.
Huh, Cabel should have greeted Louise first like Johannes. Secondly, it’s part of my fault for not being able to teach the brother about that manner.
“I’m glad to see both brother Cabel and
brother Johan.”
Still, it was true that it was a pleasure to meet these two people after such a long time. So I smiled widely at them.
“Oh!”
At that moment, again, there was a sudden sound of breath taking in.
“Hey, didn’t I tell you to close your eyes?!”
Cabel shouted at the eyes and yelled again.
“He’s really noisy.”
Erich said, who looked at him with his cold eyes next to me.
“Let’s go somewhere else.”
“Yeah, brother. Actually, I wanted to leave this place as soon as possible.”
When I heard the conversation between the brother and sister in Vastia, I became a little embarrassed.
“I’ll show you around the school.”
“Thanks.”
Johannes still smiled tenderly and said to me. We still have a Cabel that fluttering his eyes toward the surroundings. I drag him away.
The academic institutions in the system were divided into elementary, middle, and high schools.
Among them, Cabel and Johan were in high school, and Erich was taking classes in middle school.
“Wow, the building is big!”
Louise admired the magnificent building in front of her eyes. Indeed, Arlanta is the biggest academic and all students are noble sons.
It wasn’t usually fancy, and I wasn’t surprised because I had come to Cabel’s graduation in my previous life.
Hearing what they said, it seemed Johannes was taking classes at the Faculty of Politics and Cabel at the School of Fencing. In Middle school, Erich was studying common subjects.
“I want to see the classroom where my brother is taking classes!”
“Is it okay if we go in?”
“It’s okay because it’s the weekend anyway. I got approval from the academic
institute.”
“Well, let’s go!”
Even on the weekend, there were many students who went around the school.
They were stealing glance at us with their
eyes wide open and I wondering what made them so curious, and when Cabel glare his eyes, they turned their head and looked upset.
Louise’s words were directed to a lecture hall at the Faculty of Politics, where Johannes was located, but Cabel walked away as if he was waiting for this moment.
“Huh, there’s nothing to see in your classroom. Let’s go to my class instead of there!”
Oh, you’re still doing this. Since the first
meeting, the two haven’t been able to get along even after time.
Mostly, Cabel start the fights, and in Johannes’s side is a form of ignorance, but sometimes Johannes takes it and they spreads into a fight.
Still, not like in Ernst before, it was a good thing that they didn’t spread into fights
that often.
“Cabel, you’re mainly in the haze. I’ve been there, but now it’s full of dirt and dust, it’ll better to go inside.”
Cabel’s thick eyebrows shook with the words Johannes had passed.
“Then you take your sister. I’m going to take my sister!”
Childish, our second brother..
“It’s Autumn, the temperature is high today, and don’t you think it would be
better to go inside and take a break?”
“Hey, are you pretending to know her in front of me?! Don’t I know Hari better?! Are you jealous because Hari wants to go with me more than you?!”
Cabel Started. He don’t use fist as he used to, but when he picked Johannes from here, I still would have been twisted and bothered.
Besides, he wanted me to listen to what he wanted as much as he could because it was a Cabel we’re talking about here, and the fact that I didn’t see him as often since he went to the academy.
Huft. Yes, what can I do, that this is my karma. I inevitably looked at Johannes.
“Then we’ll stop by for a moment to the place brother Cabel want and then go inside.”
Then Cabel looked at me and glowed both his eyes, as Johannes sighed a little.
“Yes, I can’t help it. Then I’ll go into the building first with Louise now.”
So Cabel, me and Erich decided to move together. But Erich betrayed me.
“I want to go indoors. I’ve been sunnied too much today.”
What fairy-tale princess are you in?
And besides, you’re sunnied? At best, it was the same as if you were outside during the time you walked here!
“Now, then let’s go together!”
Eventually, he was so excited as a puppy that met my eyes, so I had to be caught by Cabel that pulled my hand.
But as I walked a little, my feet in shoes began to feel uncomfortable.
“Brother, let’s walk slowly.”
“You hurt your feet?”
“It’s not like that, but it’s hard to chase your step. My brother’s stride is big.”
“Would you like a ride?”
That’s not it! Strangely, Cabel seemed to be vulnerable to the need to be depended.
No, of course I don’t want to be dragged by the second brother this time, but there are some things that I’ve not used to since I was younger.
Still, ‘Would you like a ride?’
Isn’t that a little too much?
Thump.
Tuk!
However, the students passing by suddenly dropped the book they were holding onto the floor.
Yes? But why don’t you pick it up and you’re opening your mouth like that?
“You dropped it.”
I was just passing by and picked up the book they dropped and handed it to them. Still, it’s Cabel’s school, but as his younger sister there’s no harm to built up good deeds for him.
Besides, I just saw it before, and it seems that this guy doesn’t normally behave
like his usual personality……
God damn.
“Ah, Uh, tha, thank you……”
But the two boys picked up the book and stuttered badly as they watched me pass.
“Please, no need to say it.”
Cabel has done something before, so let’s make an image update for him. With that thought in mind, I smiled at them with a gentle face.
At that moment, their mouths are a bit bigger! What happened uh oh!
“Hyuk!”
“Hiccup!”
Right after that, a very, very, very dark and dangerous energy began to emanate.
“Yeah, then we’re off!”
I looked up at the second brother next to me with a suspicious face. Then the dangerous energy that quickly touched my five senses was withdrawn.
“Let’s go fast! There are so many flying flies here!”
Cabel, who has an annoying face everywhere, grabbed my hand. Still, I’ve been told before by you, as I grumbled while walking in a state of delay.
In the past, I would have haphazardly dragged and rushed without saying anything, but now he know how to be considerate, and it’s amazing, our brother!
Don’t just pretend you don’t know what before was just like.
“Oh!”
But how long did you walk? This time, Cabel stopped walking, pretending to know someone first.
The boy approaching from the other side also found Cabel and opened his mouth.
“Cabel.”
Oh, are you a friend of the second brother?! I saw him approaching and I was amazed.
“What, didn’t you came home and back early?”
“That’s right.”
He was an open-looking handsome man with golden eyes on silver hair.
The neat atmosphere was similar to Johannes, but if it this handsome man, you should say that he is a more handsome man than Johan.
What should be said to be the crystallization of him. Hm.
“By the way, guest?”
The gold pupil, like a sunburst, slipped towards me. Then, as Cabel waited, he began to introduce the two of us to each other.
The proud face was like when he first showed off his favorite person tosomeone. Our second brother, it looks like he like his friend very much.
First, Cabel introduced me to him.
“Say hello, he is my friend!”
“Am I your friend?”
He was very casual with a gentle smile and replied to Cabel’s words. I think that’s a little bad character….
He’s honest, but I am not sure if he’s serious or joking. What is the latter?
Whether to say bad luck or to say good luck, I look at the face in Cabel and noticed that he didn’t even listen to his
words.
“He’s Ijekiel Alpheinus. He’s from Obelia, he’s currently studying abroad, he don’t have a friend, so I’ve been eating with him and we’re friends!”
Look, it doesn’t seem like that. Whoever has a friend looks like you, not him? I didn’t do it, so he introduced me to him.
“This is my sister!”
“Ah.”
Cabel’s words brought Ijekiel to my eyes. The moment I made eye contact with him, I could realize. We are comrades!
Even if he pretend not to be, I think he’s very tired because he’s stuck with Cabel!
Now a man named Ijekiel noticed the same thing as me. We exchanged our
thoughts with our eyes for a moment, leaving the proud Cabel alone.
‘You must have been in a lot of trouble because of our second brother.’
‘You must have suffered in the meantime because your brother.’
After that, we are more consistent than before as I greeted him with a familiar feeling.
“Now, I’m Ijekiel Alphenius. Nice to meet you.”
“I’m Hari Ernst. Nice to meet you.”
“I usually heard a lot from Cabel.”
“You are…?”
At that moment, I shook my eyes. What have you heard a lot? What the hell did
Cabel say, as he’s giving me suspicious glance? I just smiled without saying anything.
“When I first came to Arlanta, I was able to easily adapt to it thanks to Cabel. He also talked about his family from time to
time, and I was envious of his brothers and sisters, so I envyed you.”
Oh,right. Cabel just introduced that this guy is from Obelia. Wow, but his Arlanta language is very good. At that moment, I forgot he’s a foreigner.
By the way, I heard that silver hair is not so rare in Arlanta, but extremely rare in Obelia. Erich and I have a feeling of familiarity with him because I am a silver hairer.
“Cabel said that he has a relative sister who lives with him from a young age? But, this is wonderful for Cabel as I would be envious!”
Did I hear it right?
As he said, ‘I’m like this!’ Cabel nose was high and he was shrugging. I think he’s in the mood for a nice brother in front of me, but it doesn’t seem right.
Second brother. Oh, I don’t think that’s important right now.
Anyway, if you look at something like this, It wasn’t right to say that Cabel is friend with him juat because they ate together.
As what he said was right.
Ugh damn..
Our second brother, maybe you don’t have a real friend?
Well, I’m not going to say anything else.
“Well, have a good time today.”
He politely greeted us with a smile on his face to the end and passed by us. I was soaked by the unfamiliar feelings that I didn’t know, and turned back slightly to see him.
Oh my god, someone like that can be caught by our second brother.
“Isn’t he in the fencing faculty?”
“No, he’s in Faculty of Politics.”
“Oh, then, did he use to take class with my brother Johan?”
“International students have a different curriculum, so, how many things do you want to listen to? And now Kiel has not friends with Johannes! I’m his best friend!”
No one of your friends is taking it. So calm down for now, but Cabel soon became sore.
“But maybe I won’t see him anymore after
this semester, I think my Kiel will be graduating early.”
Oh, then maybe I will have a hard time meeting him again. Guh, he’s handsome, it’s a pity.
I was happy to see a self-luminous beauty for a while. By the way, it’s unfair that a handsome person does so well in studying, right?
He said that people who graduated from academic circles early are very rare, so they can be count on one hand.
That’s great. And Eugene was one of
those great people.
“Where’s brother Cabel taking classes? Hey? I want to see it soon.”
Eventually, it was my role to squeeze Cabel, so I decided to appease him at this point. Then, Cabel quickly became vivid like a flower.
“Ha, I knew you would like to see it. Let’s go fast!”
Whatever it is, we started walking through the calibrations with hahahoho as much as it seemed.
Even then, he had to hold my hand and drag it around.
When we met Johannes and Louise again, it was already time to leave the academy.
“Cabel, you are really…..”
I rarely looked at Johannes who was
frowning now.
In fact, at first, Cabel was so excited that he took me and shot all kinds of places, but at some point, I was also amazed with the place like,
‘What is that?’
Ugh, I wasn’t even a child, but I wasn’t very careful.
“Well, why, what! I’m going to give my sister a look at the school!”
Still, I sincerely apologized to them.
“I’m sorry, I didn’t know the time was going so fast.”
“No, I thought it was gonna be like this for
some reason, as it was a long time since we went around with each other.”
However, it wasn’t that everyone thought it was because of me as there was an image I had accumulated so far.
Cabel was originally a guy who didn’t care what anyone said, so he wasn’t even thinking about excusing himself, as he was just wearing his pride.
“If it’s too late, my mother and father will worry about it, so it’s better to go back today.”
Still, Johannes and Erich took good care of Louise while we were away, and she was smiling with a very satisfying face.
I am stuck in my conscience!
The Vastia couple also said they would like me to take good care of Louise, and I went out of school and missed my mind!
“Louise, I’m sorry I came too late.”
“What are you talking about? How pleasant and belly it was for you to take your brother Cabel!”
What? Louise was staring with grateful eyes as if I was truly a person who would be a sacred person to live.
Ah, I knew, you really hate Cabel, eh.
“I wanted to spend more time together today, but it’s a pity.”
Johannes told me on the way to take us to the wagon. Unlike Cabel, he was walking slowly to suit my stride. It was all that Johannes was, so I suddenly smiled.
“Me too. When are you coming home?”
“Maybe about two weeks later.”
Cabel and Erich were having a conversation with each other next to us.
Looking at their expression, Erich seemed to be giving Cabel thought of what he had just done.
Louise was at the forefront of the move, casting ‘Walking confidently anywhere, even if alone!’
I always feel it, but she seems to be strong and energetic. Johannes, who saw it, asked me with half a smile and half anxiety.
“Does Louise troubling you?”
“Not at all.”
I looked at him and laughed then replied.
“Rather, because of Louise, I feel like I’m getting stronger.”
In fact, it was almost impossible that Cabel and Erich were able to leave me in Vastia and decide on admission to the
Academy.
If I wasn’t happy with Vastia’s family, and if they felt a little bit like me, maybe neither of them could have left the house with confidence, but Vastia’s couple, Brother and sister have always treated
us with sincerity.
Perhaps because of that belief, Eugene also asked them to take care of us.
“But don’t overdo it.”
With a friendly voice, a gentle touch sat down over my head. Johannes whispered to me with a face that comforted my mind as always. I also smiled at him.
“Yes, thank you.”
Since the academy says that there are some girls here even though there are
only few, Johannes seems to be popular among them.
This man who almost became my man!
“What, why are you stuck?!”
Only in this case, the fast Cabel quickly intercepted and split Johannes and me. So only after I got on the wagon I could say goodbye to Johannes.
“Erich, you have to doing well. Take a good meal, sleep well!”
“Are you my older sister?”
And I’m more worried because you have a short temper, sharp mouth and lack of
sleep!
“Me? And me?”
The second brother next to him was asking me to tell him. Yes. I hesitated for a moment and then told him.
“Brother Cabel.. You..”
Just do not get worse, just do it like now! Do not keep up with the phenomenon!
“Just do it like now.”
“Of course, am I still too perfect?”
“Then go around carefully. Please doing well until I see you again.”
“Brother Johan too.”
And Louise and I left the academy. With
three people left there.
“It was fun today, isn’t it?”
“I want to come again next time.”
It was only a short schedule of one day, but it was a field trip to the academy.
********
It was that evening that I sat in front of my desk like a habit and held a pen.
[Eugene, how are you?]
I write a letter this morning, and I want to write a little more, as I didn’t even send it right away anyway.
I’ll sent it tommorow.
[I went to the academy with brother Cabel and Erich.]
Everything was insane, but I thought it was a fun day.
Even if I pretend not to be tired of going out for two days, yesterday and today, Louise is tired. She’s going to bed straightly.
[I was introduced to a friend by brother Cabel, and he was an international student from Obelia. Does brother Eugene know him? I think Brother Cabel likes him a lot. Of course, brother Cabel also said that he liked him too.]
Today, I was almost stuck with Cabel, so I felt like I couldn’t talk to Erich much. Still, I was together with him yesterday.
Johannes seemed to be doing well too.
[Suddenly, I wondered what brother Eugene’s life would be like. If you have a chance later…]
[I’ll be happy if you tell me.]
After filling half of the letter, I cleaned up the table and got up from the seat. As I lay down on the bed, a soft warmth greets me.
Today, I was tired, so I seemed to be able to sleep well without dreaming.
