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

“In this final exam, you also got perfect scores in all subjects.”

“yes. Well, yes, but… … Because Keynes-kun has achieved a feat that only comes out once every few decades in the academy.”

Ardeal speaks like a notification of a feat accomplished in an RPG game.

With a small smile, I checked the 1st year comprehensive evaluation sheet given to me by Professor Julius once again.

Even in middle school and high school, I never thought I would rank first in the entire school, having maintained low-mid grades every time. Who would have guessed?

“There are probably very few people who have received such a clean review.”

Ardeal said while looking at my overall evaluation sheet.

Each of the cells where the score was written was unified at 100.

Even the ranks of the written and practical skills were lined up with the number 1. As Ardeal said, it was an extremely neat evaluation paper.

“… … Well, it’s hard to be certain that you’ll be able to get these grades next year as well. Because in the second year, if you mess up the test, you might fall down to class C.”

“Then let me join you then.”

“… … I get goosebumps every time you say that.”

As I trembled and made a disgusted expression, Ardeal followed me out of the classroom with a small smile.

“Come to think of it, is Kaynes going to go back to his parents’ house?”

“Hmm… … . I guess I should go this time. The head of the family called me directly.”

I replied, frowning.

Then, Ardeal smiled bitterly and nodded.

“okay.”

Originally, the plan was to stay at the mansion and destroy the base and research center of the Death Parade. But you can’t just ignore Grans’ call.

The moment I sighed inwardly at the fact that I had to return to my hometown, Ardeal drew my attention by clapping as if he had remembered something.

“Ah, come to think of it, next year, Lady Elizabeth will finally be entering the academy. Hmmm, I might be a little lonely.”

“Then, hurry up and find your future mate while you’re hanging out with me. I remember getting a confession the other day… … .”

“I think my personality was a little different from him. So I declined. to be honest… … It’s difficult in many ways to find someone of the opposite s*x that you like.”

Ardeal’s tastes were certainly picky. This is because he considers the other person’s interest more than their appearance and personality.

Ardeal chose a woman with various personalities as his ideal type.

It was difficult for me to understand in many ways.

“Why don’t you try lowering your criteria a bit?”

“We are working hard in many ways, but… … It’s not easy. Well, if I can’t find my future partner, I’m going to live my life supporting my younger sister.”

“… … It doesn’t matter. Don’t stop in front of your little sister?”

At my remark, Ardeal smiled and replied.

“Unfortunately, I am not going to hand over my sister to anyone.”

“Anyway… … .”

I shook my head as if I couldn’t stop his love for my younger brother.

After talking with him like that, before I knew it, I arrived at the main gate of the academy.

“Then, I’ll see you again in a few weeks.”

“Okay, see you in the new year.”

A carriage belonging to the Sephiroth family that met Ardeal. When he boarded the wagon, I waved my hand a few times and walked towards the wagon bearing the Ardennes emblem.

“You worked hard today too.”

“Okay, let’s get going.”

As soon as I boarded the carriage, the coachman said in a voice, ‘I’m leaving,’ and immediately pulled the reins.

The front gate of the academy was crowded with carriages. Like Ardeal, the students who had been living in the dormitory would want to return to their home.

The students, who put their luggage in the pockets of the subspace and left it with the attendant, boarded the wagon lightly as soon as the vacation ceremony was over.

Thanks to the wagons rushing through the front gate, the top of the road was a bit congested.

Well, the wagon I rode on went the other way, so there shouldn’t be any problems.

smart smart

“Bocchan, we have arrived.”

I got out of the wagon by stepping on the movable stairs the coachman had commanded.

“Then, think of it as a vacation until I come back and get some rest.”

“all right.”

The coachman slightly lowered his head.

I passed him and went straight into the mansion.

“Have you been?”

“okay.”

He gave a short reply to Abel and the maids who came to greet him.

Then I went straight to the bedroom and lay down on the bed.

Was it because I was at the auction house too late last night? I let out a deep sigh with a slightly tired expression.

“Whoa… … . I will die of exhaustion.”

However, because of the complex thoughts that linger in my head, I couldn’t fall into the trance.

I closed my eyes, put my right arm around my eyes and murmured softly.

“… … Are you going back to the Spey One family?”

The mansion of the Spey One family exudes a grand yet heavy atmosphere.

To be honest, I didn’t want to see it even in my dreams. I’d rather have scary ghost dreams.

Life in the Spey One family came to mind like a kaleidoscope. These are the lives before the appearance changed.

Memories immediately after birth are still vague.

but… … If it is a memory from one or two years after you were born, it still remains in your head. The abuse of a nanny was such a shock to me.

“ha… … .”

In addition, the maids’ indifference and cold stares made her mentally stressed in many ways.

It took quite a while to get used to.

and… … After my appearance changed, I definitely lived a not bad life. Of course, if I asked if I wanted to go back to the second annex again, I would shake my head.

“Damn it, if only there was a lame excuse… … .”

At first, I even thought of an extreme measure, ‘Should I break my leg?’ ‘If I don’t go back to the Spey One family… … .’ with the thought.

However, if it was Grans, he would call me home even if he forced me into a carriage.

Of course, I hesitated because of the pain.

“… … It feels like the wound from Kravey is still throbbing.”

To my murmur… … .

– It’s because of the mood.

Someone answered in a dry voice.

“Yes, of course, it must be my mood!”

Because the wounds had already healed without leaving a trace.

I put on an embarrassed expression because I muttered a little bit of a middle schooler.

No way, I thought Endairon was listening.

“Please don’t hide your presence! And when did you come back?”

-It was just before. A maid named Rin contacted the family. There was nothing out of the ordinary. and… … A few moments ago, a knight of the Spey One family was roaming around the mansion, so they had to remove their presence. You should be vigilant.

I was definitely a little careless.

At Endairon’s point, I wrinkled my face and shook my head! turned away

and after a while

“Bocchan, this is Rin.”

“Okay, come in.”

Lin enters my bedroom.

She reported to me the news from the home.

“It is said that the carriage will come to meet you by 8 am tomorrow. We will be leaving at 9:00, so please be ready before then.”

“Yeah, I get it. You can go out.”

“Yes, then please rest in peace.”

She lowered her head and left the bedroom.

Scratching my head, I began preparing to return to my hometown.

There was no need to prepare a backpack or carrier. Just like the students who went back to their home today, you can put valuables, emergency food and clothing that you are worried about leaving in the pockets of the subspace.

“Hmm… … . For the time being, I won’t even be able to contact my sister.”

– You’ll be worried, so contact me in advance… … .

“I still think so.”

There were so many eyes on the Spey One family.

It would be better if it was an annex.

However, if you stay in the main building, you will not be able to calm your guard even in the moment of sleep.

After dinner, mana was injected into the communication tool provided in the corner of the desk.

-Kenneth? What happened today… … .

“just… … . I called to see if you were okay.”

To my words, my sister replied with a small smile.

– My sister is fine. More than that… … I think I will have to go back to the academy next year. I tried combining a lot of information while robbing bases and research centers, but I can’t pinpoint their headquarters. And all the executives who knew about the church headquarters were unable to speak due to the curse of mana.

My sister let out a sigh as if there was nothing she could do.

“then… … .”

– I guess… … I need to show off my abilities little by little and get attention from Count Spayone. I think we should investigate from the inside, not the outside.

After all, does this part flow according to the original flow?

However, as I moved, my sister was able to secure more power than the original.

Well, they are the ones who will one day be under your sister… … .

As their rescue took place earlier than in the original work, the radius of her sister’s activities expanded further.

It means that even if I and my sister do not move directly, the power to attack the church has been created.

“Hmm, you must have had the same thoughts as me.”

– No way, you too… … .

The situation has already been revealed to be the 4th circle. The Spey One family must have started paying attention to me.

That’s why they still have guards posted around the mansion.

In other words, I had to play the role that my older sister should have played.

“They called me from home. Maybe there’s a problem with the engagement I talked about the other day, but it’s because I’ve given Grans the assurance that she can reach the 5th circle. If you do well, you might hear about the Death Parade this time.”

Grans was a man who would not carelessly speak out about the Church, no matter how much he was a family member. Except for Ellen H Spayone, the heir to the Speywon family.

Of course, even Eren must have heard only the minimum amount of information at the moment.

-… … Do you really think they’ll choose you as the heir to the Spey One family?

Seeing her serious expression, I shook my head.

“No way. There will be no change in the successor. Granth is probably thinking of making a shield to protect Eren. but… … That’s enough for now. Trust is not built quickly.”

My sister frowned for a moment, but finally let out a sigh.

When he was allowed to date Elizabeth, the part where he mentioned the 5th Circle in front of Grans was a stepping stone to build that trust.

As a result, a summons was issued to me, so it must be said that I have definitely attracted attention.

It was part of the plan, but I still doubted my plan. Whether or not my current plan is to move on the palm of Grans.

“Anyway, I won’t be able to contact you for a while. so… … Take care of yourself.”

-That’s what your sister has to say. Going into the lion’s jaws Who cares about who?

“ha ha ha… … .”

-Don’t do anything too risky.

“of course. You know that I’m a coward.”

Seeing my sister’s worried expression, I responded with a small smile.

After I finished contacting my sister, I immediately got another communication tool in my hand.

A middle-aged man with gray hair reflected in the telegraph. No, should I say old man?

“Then, please take good care of me for a while.”

From noble mtl dot com

– Yes, don’t worry. I voluntarily signed the contract, so there shouldn’t be any big problems.

When Albert, the treasurer of the Ardennes family, spoke in a tone of reassurance, I nodded once.

If the owner of the gold is absent at the same time as I go down to my hometown, those who doubted me will surely be convinced.

So, I entrusted the item to the auction house and looked for someone who could collect the money. A person you can trust.

and… … A boy named Serma, who was an early member of Arden and has a height similar to mine, voluntarily wrote a mana contract.

As vice-captain of the 2nd Guards Corps of Ardennes, he signed a fixed-term contract that expires after a certain period of time, and is said to be staying in the current system.

‘Well, I’ve prepared a lot of security, so there won’t be anything uncomfortable living in the system.’

Just worried about the possibility of him being attacked by someone. He did not consider the possibility of Serma breaking the contract.

Cursing the mana contract is an act that only wizards of the 5th circle or higher can do. He is also a wizard of the 5th circle or higher with excellent mana control.

Serma, who has the skills of an elite soldier, cannot do it even if she spends her whole life.

No, if you pay a large amount of money to the high-ranking wizards of the Mage Tower and make a request… … is it possible?

‘First of all, escort and surveillance are attached, so in the worst case… … .’

A member of the Darkness who secretly guards Serma’s surroundings. It was only one person, but his skill was comparable to that of a low-ranking sword master.

After I shook off my worries, I immediately lay down on the bed.

“Whoa, let’s worry about me for now.”

Like my sister said, he was trying to enter the lion’s jaws.

After waking up early for the first time in a while, I dressed up in neat casual clothes in the dressing room after taking a bath and eating early in the morning.

Looking out the window, in front of the mansion was a large quad carriage with the Spey One family’s pattern on it.
