I Became the Younger Brother of the Female Protagonist in the Novel

“About 1,000 people… … .”

It was a staggering number.

To take the lives of so many people alone.

Kenneth, who was called the death god by criminals in the slums. But is it because of that nickname? Criminals stopped tampering with stores under Ardennes.

-For sure… … Sofia must have felt it before. Keynes suddenly degenerated… … No, acting like a child… … .

“ah… … .”

-At that time, Kayneth was in a state of great mental shock as he experienced his first real fight. That’s why I wanted to depend on someone.

Sophia’s body convulsed slightly at Endairon’s explanation.

No way, to have such a terrible experience at such a young age.

Sophia recalls the time when Keynes’ emotions were unstable.

At that moment, Endairon added his words.

-… … He was really worried about Sofia-sama. Even so, Sophia did not object to attacking the enemy’s base and research center. So, Sofia-sama also wants that guy… … No, I ask you to trust Kayneth. He has already adapted to man-to-person combat through fighting bandits, and has abilities on par with those called apostles in the church.

Sophia covered her face with both hands while biting her lips at Endairon’s story.

“… … .”

Meanwhile, Elaim, who had been listening to the conversation, sighed quietly.

-If you can reach the 7th circle… … . I think it would be okay to leave it in some areas, though.

She muttered so softly that Sofia couldn’t hear.

Truly an out-of-the-ordinary existence.

Sophia knew that too. It’s just that I couldn’t easily shake off my worries as a family.

Endairon added a few words to Sophia’s appearance.

-Kenneth is different from other kids his age. Being a coward more than anyone else, you can think more carefully and, accordingly, accurately judge the danger of a situation. And there are few victories, and I try to avoid places where life is dangerous.

Endairon with Keynes for several years. He learned a lot about Keynes. Even the fact that he values his own life more than anyone else.

However, at Endairon’s story, Elaim burst into laughter.

‘This guy who is more cowardly than anyone else… … Did you throw yourself into the Heartron Dungeon to save your sister? Even breaking through the imperial soldiers… … ?’

She closed her eyes for a moment and raised her eyebrows.

‘Why is that naive guy with that kid… … I think I know roughly.’

The moment Elaim was alone in his thoughts, Endairon made eye contact with Sophia.

And I smiled a little

-Besides, who would he listen to? Even if Sofia objects, even if I stop him, he will never stop.

“… … Yes, he was such a child.”

In the end, it was Sophia who raised her hands and surrendered.

She took out the documents from the subspace pocket she kept in her bosom.

“These are data about the bases and research institutes of the Church located in the northern and eastern parts of the empire.”

-… … I’ll pass it on to Keynes.

“In addition, it seems that there are six people in the Death Parade who are equivalent to Kravey. And it was also confirmed that the religious leader, the owner of the church, reigns over the six apostles. In this case, the existence of the leader should be assumed to be a black magician of the 7th circle or higher. and… … .”

The information received from Sophia was also known to Endairon. I heard it from Keynes beforehand.

However, Endairon was slightly surprised by Sophia’s story.

I didn’t suspect Kayneth’s story was false, but I can’t believe we can agree this far.

‘Why did Keynes come to this world? Is the Lord thinking of something? Rather, this world I really live in is only in a novel… … .’

As his mind began to get complicated for a moment, Endairon narrowed his eyes and closed his eyes.

And Elim quietly watched it.

Chapter 77

77. Darkness (2)

Endairon received the documents from Sophia. He returned to Keynes with the documents.

As Endairon disappeared from sight, Sophia let out a small sigh and sat down on the bed.

“I have to apologize… … Are you doing it?”

– If it’s Keynes’ personality, he’ll contact you first. Besides, he cut off contact unilaterally. You don’t have to care.

“still… … .”

-Besides, you handed over the information. Rather, he should bow his head and be grateful.

Sophia smiled a little at Elim’s remark.

However, if you think about it a little, you can realize that all of Kayneth’s actions are related to him.

Why the hell is Keynes trying to fight an organization called Death Parade? Just because it threatens the world?

However, if it was Keynes, he would surely have the ability to live affluent life with the title of count in a kingdom in the corner of the continent.

“I… … What would have happened if he hadn’t gone to Kenneth? Would Keynes have taken the same antagonistic line with Death Parade as he is now?”

-that… … .

“I have a goal of revenge. But for that child… … .”

-If this middle-earth falls into the hands of the Death Parade, then he too… … .

“You really think so?”

Ellaim stopped talking at Sophia’s eyes.

There was also the option of Keynes joining the Death Parade.

Besides, the Spey Ones are related to the Church… … . If it was Kayneth who showed his ability, joining the church would be a piece of cake. No, on the contrary, he could be admired as an executive.

“That’s why I always felt sorry for Keynes. If possible, I wanted to avoid putting myself in a dangerous situation.”

-… … that guy is strong And, as Endairon said, he is more calm than young humans his age. Rather, now is the time to worry about yourself. Although it is said that the amount of mana is rapidly increased through holy water, 800 holy water would be enough power to be comparable to the magic of the 6th circle.

Elaim had roughly calculated the amount of Sophia’s mana that Uria’s holy water had increased.

After hearing the results, Sophia nodded once.

“For a while, I’ll have to confuse them and collect information while operating under the name Darkness. That’s enough for now. Besides, in a little while, I’ll be able to become a sword master… … . Fighting styles will also become more diverse. Then, it will surely be possible to defeat Kravey.”

Ellaim quietly closed her eyes at her confident voice.

“and… … It must seem a little strange to continue to be active only in the South, as Keynes said, right? The scale of Darkness may be questioned. First of all, Olivia, Camilla, and Raul must all be sent west. And let’s increase the power by absorbing some of the experimental subjects rescued from the laboratory into Darkness.”

– Yeah, that’s not a bad idea. The test subjects certainly have a different aura, but it will be of great help with full power.

Elim nodded, and Sofia secretly injected mana into the communication sphere. However, the communication district did not show any particular reaction.

Sophia’s face was filled with tears.

She thought Keynes was tight-lipped.

* * *

-… … I’m all tired because of you.

Returning to the mansion, I smiled awkwardly at Endairon, who greeted me in the bedroom.

-First of all, I explained the general things to Sophia, so you should contact me first and apologize properly.

“Yeah, I thought so too.”

-I know it’s scary to say, but don’t leave anything to me.

“Yeah, sorry. I’m going to suddenly say, what I’ve done so far… … I think it is too dirty.”

Maybe I didn’t want my sister to know that my hands were dirty. If possible, he might have wanted to show only his pure appearance.

Endairon let out a small sigh at my answer, then frowned.

-Don’t think your world and this world are the same. And all the people you kill are criminals. Rather, I think it made a part of the empire clean.

Certainly his story was not wrong.

It was a little comforting to think that I had saved people who had been bullied.

I nodded and went straight to the communication port.

And let’s inject mana into the communication sphere, the light came on quickly.

-… … Keynes?

Complex thoughts were already organized at the party. As I brought up those stories one by one, I apologized to my sister for what I did earlier.

On the other hand, sister Sofia listened to the story to the end while remaining silent. She never interrupted me or showed any reaction.

When the story ended like that, my sister smiled lightly.

From noble mtl dot com

-… … Yeah, you were thinking such a stupid thing.

My shoulders twitched at my sister’s one word.

stupid idea… … ?

-No matter what you do, it doesn’t change the fact that you are my sister. And subjugating criminals, not innocent people, has been done by my sister many times. But do you think I’ll hate you just that much? And if you have any concerns, be sure to tell your sister. Is your sister less trustworthy than Endairon?

“Oh, no, that… … . Ha ha ha ha ha.”

-Ha, more than that, you got the materials from Endairon, right?

“huh.”

– If you think you are in danger, be sure to run away. please… … Please don’t overdo it.

At my sister’s earnest request, I shook my shoulders once and nodded.

Yes, this is a ‘real’ family. A ‘real’ relationship that is different from calling Granance and Phyllis family.

After I finished contacting my sister, I smiled a little.

Then I lay down on the bed and covered my eyes with my right arm.

“Why do I get so emotional when I talk to my sister?”

It’s a different feeling than when I talk to other people. Does it feel like your heart is getting a little warmer?

In the meantime, Endairon, who couldn’t grasp the atmosphere, came around me and threw several pockets of subspace.

-Contains documents about the Death Parade Church and payments for holy water. Considering your mana… … It would be good to send the second quantity around the day after tomorrow. And about that document… … .

“… … Wasn’t this a moving scene in many ways?”

– Keep your emotions in moderation.

My heart, which had been warmed by a word of Endairon, cooled down in an instant.

“Tsk… … . Yes, I have to go to work.”

I clicked my tongue a little and opened the subspace pouch to pour out the documents.

The Church’s base and research institute located in the northern and eastern parts of the Empire. And the place names for the location were recorded in detail.

“This… … Is it a task list?”

Numerous tasks carried out in the base and research center.

The main task was to secure funds and test subjects at the base, and to manufacture chimeras and drugs at the research center.

“… … You’ve been doing some pretty disgusting things. I felt like an idiot for focusing on dealing with criminals.”

-It seems that most of the test subjects included human beings. However, the human body is weaker than that of sub-species. Subspecies are used as experiment subjects to fuse energy that cannot be mixed, or forcibly amplify physical abilities. As you said, it seems that the Chimera Project was also underway. In addition, it is said that an experiment in which mana from a magic stone is injected into the body to forcibly increase the size of the mana core is also in progress.

I tilted my head at the unfamiliar content of the experiment.

“… … You say you can increase mana without using Uria’s holy water?”

-Of course, Sofia-sama has the document about the experiment. I’ll explain what I heard from Sophia.

“okay.”

– In conclusion, it seems that the experiment is experiencing successive failures. As a result of forcibly injecting mana from magic stones mixed with impurities into the bodies of humans and subspecies, the test subjects mutated into bizarre shapes, or their bodies exploded. It is said that the mana of the magic stone is not properly located in the mana core.

I never thought I would have been conducting such a terrible experiment.

I tried to revive the contents of the original, which had been vague, but the content of forcibly injecting mana from the magic stone into the body did not come to mind at all.

I narrowed my brows for a moment and touched my chin.

“I never thought such an experiment would exist… … . I don’t think I’ve ever seen that part in the novel. There may be a possibility that the experiment itself was not successful in the first place, but since the novel was discontinued in the middle, there is a possibility that the contents appeared in the second half… … .”

-… … is it.

Soon, I stopped thinking. The experiment should be investigated from now on.

I murmured softly as I looked through the documents once in a while.

“… … First, I have to rob the lab.”

In order to obtain data, it would be best to attack the bases and research centers of the Church. And in order to secure a vast amount of information, securing power from the research institute like the older sister in the original work must be the priority.

I had to immediately withdraw from the plan to blow up the church’s base and research center in one blow.

“and… … Let’s check this one more time.”

Treasures handed over in exchange for holy water. I spilled them on the bedroom floor.

A diamond-encrusted crown and a necklace decorated with rubies. Other than that, a golden sword made for decoration and a statue made of Orichalcum. There was almost no currency, but treasures that could be cashed out.

“Materials are materials, but… … The artistic part will be rated quite highly.”

I sold the treasures at the auction house over the course of a week.

As a result, a huge amount of money came into hand.

‘… … 840 gold coins for 115 platinum coins. The second quantity is just 500… … No, let’s send 700.’

Sister’s strengthening is directly linked to the destruction of the church.

So there is no need to save.

And at the same time as preparing the amount to send to my sister, I also learned the 7th circle basic process.

“Now then, shall we spend the end of summer vacation faithfully?”

I laughed and attacked the Death Parade’s laboratory located in the Northern Territory of the Empire.

A laboratory located very close to the islands. Having secured a lot of data from the research institute, I spurred the war against the church.

* * *

Kwagwagwagwagwang-!

“Kwaaah!”

“Bo, contact headquarters! The Darkness guys are attacking!”

“Hey, crazy! How did Darkness get here… … !”

The Church of Death Parade fell into great confusion from the attack of a mysterious organization called Darkness.

No, considering the size of the church, should we call this level of chaos?

“ha… … .”

I let out a small sigh as I recalled the size of them.

At that moment, a woman in a black mask approached me.

“Master, we rescued all the victims.”

“Okay, retrieve all documents, dispose of everything else.”

“Yes, I understand.”

A masked woman with her head bowed. Of course, she wasn’t the only one wearing a mask. Five or six men and women wearing masks gathered around me.

Of course, I was also wearing a black demon mask. There would be nothing good about revealing one’s identity.
