Beware of the Brothers - Chapter 15.5
“Why did you buy the piano?”
Erich glanced through the bookshelf in front of him and asked as he passed towards the person behind him.
Now where he is was Eugene’s office. This office in the mansion was originally used by Ernst’s head for generations.
It was where they were.
So if he look carefully at every corner, he can easily find traces of their father, the former Duke of Ernst, who died.
“When Hari received it as a gift, she gave me some hints as to what she would like best,” said Erich with a finger touch on a small silver piece that seemed to be his father’s taste.
Last winter, he once told his brother, who was worried about Hari’s gift, what she would like, but eventually Eugene prepared another gift instead of what Erich had said at best.
“Is it too dangerous for Hari to have?”
Eugene replied to Erich’s question. Looking back, he could see Eugene’s back as he pulled the bottle out of the cabinet.
“The only thing I think to worry about is my brother. We’re not even young children who are one or two years old.”
“Then I will buy her later, well.”
“No.”
Eugene did not come over with his provocation, but Eugene’s eyes toward Erich were stricter than ever.
It was Erich who was rather stimulated by that attitude.
“What if I don’t listen to you?”
“Well, I’m going to be mad at you.”
Eugene, who became an adult, seemed to have some looseness around his body that was difficult to describe.
It was obviously not for Eugene, when he was 14, when they parted. Of course, even then, he always showed only his adult appearance to his younger brothers.
However, if he think about it now, Eugene at this time was always impatient as if being chased by something invisible, and the atmosphere that he had thrown away was unstable and dangerous.
Erich paused for a moment watching Eugene pouring wine into a glass. Being angry with himself, he couldn’t imagine how.
Even when he made a big mistake when he was young, Eugene never got angry with his voice, even though he would have tiled him.
However, when Erich thought, what Eugene just said was sincere.
So if Erich was against his will and acted freely, it was very likely that he would see his brother’s anger with both eyes.
Of course, he wasn’t afraid of his brother’s anger he had never experienced before….
Still, he didn’t want to ruin Eugene’s good-looking mood. Erich approached the table with Eugene and sat diagonally across the chair on the other side.
“Hey, I saw that she hurt her hand.”
Today, on the weekend, he was about to leave the school early in the morning and return home.
However, there is a reddish burn mark remained in the hands of Hari, who welcomed him.
“I heard from the butler and said that the maid poured hot water on her hands. How does she do such an absurd thing?”
Erich giggled with a creaky mouth. She wasn’t even a beginner who just started working, and he couldn’t understand that a maid who had worked for several years at Ernst did it.
“Don’t be too sensitive to make a mistake.”
Eugene said quietly instead of sympathizing with Erich’s words. It seemed that Eugene was trying to appease his younger brother, who was completely excited.
Erich leaned against the back of the chair and looked at his face. In fact, as soon as he heard the fact from butler Hubert, he went to the maid in question.
It was evident that Hari had tolerated the maid’s mistakes generously without anger.
So then he was planning to meet his maid and give a voice, but Erich wasn’t even there yet.
Hubert said that the maid went to her hometown for her mother’s care, and would return to Ernst again later….
It seemed certain that a maid named Sarah was fired. If so, it must have been his elder brother doing….
Now, on the face of Eugene, such traces could not be seen at all. Erich stared quietly at his face.
Although he was always a big brother from a young age, he was now at an age where he couldn’t even seem to be awkward even when he was drinking.
“Give me too.”
Then Erich opened his mouth impulsively.
“Why are you so demanding?”
Eugene was a little surprised by his brother’s shameless attitude.
“You’re not old enough to drink yet.”
“Well, you were pretty young, too.”
Eugene frowned as if thinking about the time. Erich looked at it and then reached out to the table.
“Wait.”
Then Eugene picked up the bottle without letting it dry, and pour the drink. Erich curiously poured the liquid in it into his throat.
Shortly thereafter, Erich’s face became white and then rose red, and soon afterwards he choked.
“Ueup, yup! What the! Huk!”
He put the bottle in his hand on the table and threw it down as if tossing it. Soon a violent cough poured out from Erich’s mouth.
“I told you to wait a minute.”
Eugene shook his tongue as she watched Erich, who was suffering.
“Huf,… breathe.”
After a while, Erich coughed, stealing his breath from mouth by his hand after some time.
“Why do you drink this?! What is this drink! Is there a hobby to study?”
Erich snarled at the table and stared at him like an enemy, when he was embarrassed to just behave.
Eugene was staring as if he were laughing at him.
“Oh, really. I don’t have anything to do today. I wonder if I’m being laughed at by escorts.”
In fact, he didn’t like it the first time he saw the escort article behind Hari. Only his outer face not showing it, he thought the escort should not be like a parasite.
“Did you say it was Ethan Bishop? Why did you put him next to Hari?”
“The reason is simple. His skills is the best.”
Eugene just picked up the bottle of wine that Erich had just thrown down and suddenly returned to the empty glass.
“Don’t lose time to talk when it’s useless, talk about how Cabel is doing.”
“Why do you want to hear your second brother uselessly?”
“It is difficult to rectify an accident because it’s not comfortable.”
In short, he was asked to tell him if Cabel is not going through a serious accident these days.
Erich, who was attending academy with Cabel until he graduated from middle school, frowned and recalled things at the school.
“To be honest, now everyone knows his character, so they avoid him because it’s troublesome. Johannes Vastia is still in bad term with him.”
“I think Johannes is surprisingly good at Cabel.”
Eugene made a cold evaluation. In fact, even Erich thought, Johannes, who treats his second brother like that, was respectful at some point in time.
His face was slightly frowned. He looked at Eugene and thought for a moment and then opened his mouth.
“Brother.”
And then he said for a moment.
“Are you going to sign a marriage proposal with the Vastia?”
But Eugene replied immediately, as if it was a matter not worth considering.
“I don’t even have to think about it, so I don’t have to think about it.”
Then he smiled slightly towards Erich.
“Well, if you’re going to go to them as Vastia’s son-in-law, I’ll take it seriously.”
“What a joke.”
Erich changed his face and added it to Eugene.
“Hold on, don’t get married soon.”
“Why?”
“I just hate being alone as an adult.”
And at the very moment he inadvertently said that, Erich looked at Eugene’s face and saw it. Oh, what is that expression? What, did he say something he couldn’t?
“Forget it.”
But his face that shouted was a little red.
He think he just sound a bit strange before. It’s night, so he might have changed sentimentally.
“I’m going to go to bed,” said Erich, who said nothing, nervously and qualitatively.
His steps leading to the door were as rough as hiding his ambition.
Eugene watched his younger brother’s back with a mysterious expression as if he was worried about whether to laugh or not.
*******
“Hitch!”
Who is talking about him? Cabel glanced over his tickling nose with his fingertips.
As he raised his head, a professor who was explaining something in front caught his eye.
Tsu-eup, maybe he was dozing before. Nevertheless, it seemed that the professor wasn’t noticed his sneeze.
Now Cabel was forced to attend a supplement lessons for the failing students, it can be called karma.
He couldn’t go home on a weekend like his younger brother, and he stared at the desk thinking that he wasn’t sure what this was.
There was a book that had not yet been opened. And in the title of the book, which soon came into view, Cabel made an expression of vomiting and vomiting.
[Gail Schiller’s logic based on the study of curvature in space-time and the special theory of relativity based on partial differential equations, and its criticism and reinterpretation]
Crazy, he turned…… This is madness.
Apparently it wasn’t a foreign language, but he couldn’t understand what it was.
What was even more chaotic was the fact that this was a subject he had learned last year.
Of course, even Cabel was wondering if he had ever studied this, but at the top of the textbook, the name ‘Cabel Ernst’ was clearly written in his font, and there were traces of graffiti in class.
It remained intact.
However, as the grain of the most important book was erased with an eraser, he couldn’t remember it, so it was a phantom.
As he attended classes, the spirit of Cabel gradually began to fly somewhere far away from the universe.
There was only one thought that came to his mind right now.
“The study of this time and space by the theory of special relativity can be applied to magic, but there are two very important problems.”
Oh, maybe he’ll try to listen.
“Here we have seen earlier, we can once again see Il Schiller’s fatal argument for error. Would you understand it?”
Cabel twisted his aching body. In the beginning, he’s an undergraduate swordsman, so why should he study this?
If he’s a swordsman, he is good at swordsmanship! His performance is strong. Even in class, he apply all of his past sins?
Every day, there are people who can’t even close their mouths and admire the unique performance of his body!
The impulse to run out of the classroom in second right now wobbled in his heart.
‘Wow, the supplementary classes are all over, so you attend to them and listen to them hard, my brother Cabel is really cool!’
‘You can really expect this test. My brother is studying so hard!’
The voice ringing in his head made Cabel’s mouth more and more hilarious, but soon he was troubled with a serious face.
How many points was the test score he should do well?
It would have been obvious that Hari would be disappointed if he failed, maybe what she said, wouldn’t be nice?
She would have a cold face. During that imagination, cold sweat flowed behind Cabel’s back. It won’t works! He have to be a great brother like he is now!
“Well, are there any questions in the class today?”
The class was just to end. As always, before the end of the class, Professor Churum asked students to ask questions if they had any last questions.
And at this moment, students dismissal would usually be similar.
‘Don’t open your mouth! Do not say! Just don’t ask anything!’
When the class came to an end, the pupils of students who seemed to be dead were filled with lanterns. The hips across the chair were already hilarious.
“Then today’s class is…”
But just then, someone’s loud voice stopped the professor from leaving. Unbelievably, it was Cabel who called him up.
“Yes, yes, Ernst. Any problem?”
The professor wasn’t thinking that Cabel would ask him something, and he was suprised why this bastard called himself with such a scary face.
It was the same with other students. They stared at him, killing breathlessly, perhaps wondering if Cabel was going to be struggling with the professor.
“What I just learned…”
Does Cabel want to do something? Even the professor was nervous and watched Cabel’s mouth, but his words that followed continued to miss everyone’s expectations.
“I didn’t understand well, so I want you to explain it again from the beginning. Ah!”
At that moment, everyone opened their mouths and opened their eyes.
What…? What have they heard now? Did he just ask him to explain the class again? Who? The one who hate to see the restaurant menu twice, Cabel Ernst?
“What, explain it again?”
“Yes! This time, I’m going to listen to you without missing a word, so please explain again!”
Who got on the Cabel Ernst body today?!
Cabel, who had put students in a chaotic bath of confusion, demanded a re-class for the professor with a shameless face.
Of course, since the class was already over, it was something you could refuse at the discretion of the professor, but the professor, who thought he would never see it before he died was so moved by Cabel’s academic fever.
“Oh, yes! This beautiful and moving thing! Now, everyone! Open the book again! Let’s do it until we all fully understand today’s lessons!”
“What!”
But it was only those two who were excited about what do. The students who were able to extend their supplementary classes quickly were suprised and annoyed.
But they couldn’t show the opposite reaction.
In the end, they cried and had to open the book again to study.
Cabel’s crazy journey did not end in one time, but progressed through all subjects.
Afterwards, failing students who had suffered all the way through supplementary classes with him, were able to achieve high enough to bounce their score off the next exam because of Cabel’s inconsistent school district.
After that, even if they listened to the name of Cabel Ernst, they came to fed up with everything.
