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

“Yes, that’s enough.”

I got into the horse’s saddle pretty easily.

Then, stealthily pulling the reins, he slipped out of the stable.

“I’ll come back in a few hours to entrust the horse again.”

“Then let them into the third compartment. I’ll pay for it the next time you come.”

“Yes, thank you.”

After bowing my head once, I immediately pulled the horse’s reins and galloped down the street.

Then, he approached the guards on night duty at the gate and handed over the mercenary plaque while showing his face.

“Where are you going at this late hour?”

You don’t even know my face The only people who know my face are the maids in the annex, even in the mansion.

“I’m running out of money, so I’m planning on carrying out the request for a while.”

Even in my answer, he seemed to hesitate a little.

Is it because of age?

However, the guard soon nodded.

“… … Yes, I will open it now.”

Young mercenaries who worked as mercenaries while struggling for money were numerous in this world.

Because of this, he let me pass through the gate right away as if he would not be deeply involved, and I was able to get out of the city without much friction.

“let’s go!”

I never learned to ride a horse. I just drove a horse once on a field trip to Jeju Island when I was in middle school.

However, thanks to the well-trained horse, the horse started to run stably, and I smiled at the second riding experience.

Damn it, knock it, knock it.

The Peltrion Territory ruled by the Spey One family.

And there was a mountain range named ‘Bilk’ in a place about 30km from Karvan, the heart of the territory and the hometown of the Spey One family.

A bandit called the Black Wolf is stationed in the mountain range, and 70 silver coins were hung around the neck of the leader.

“Element Magic – Lightning Shock!”

Pajijijijik-!

Before attacking the living, I decided to experience actual combat training against monsters called witches.

Patter.

“Wow… … !”

I was able to somehow accept the slime.

However, after taking out the magic stone from the kobold’s corpse, I vomited and vomited.

“Khehehe… … . Khehehe… … . Yo, did you underestimate the mercenary too much?”

I was shocked mentally.

I cast 2nd and 3rd circle magic to subdue 8 kobolds and 13 slimes, and immediately returned to Karvan as soon as I collected the manastone.

“this… … . Are you a mercenary?”

During the week when the main building is free, I must concentrate on subjugating the demons.

I thought about capturing the bounty criminals alive, but in that case, I would have to commit murder without hesitation.

Will I really have that kind of determination?

Taking this opportunity as an opportunity, I seriously wondered if I hadn’t looked at this world too lightly.

“… … It’s not a question of the bounty. The mental part has no choice but to slowly get used to it.”

Even after Granth’s party returned to the main building, I escaped to the city every night and subdued the monsters in the plains and mountains, distorting the mental part little by little.

Thanks to this, the feeling of nausea that came up after subjugating the beasts of mammals quickly disappeared.

After all, learning magic rather than swordsmanship seems to be the correct answer. If I swung my sword and cut down a kobold, I’m sure I’ll remember that feeling forever.

“Brother, it is morning. You need to get up.”

“Yes… … .”

I woke up from the bed with a hard look at the familiar voice of the maid.

Subjugating the monsters until dawn, and visiting the guild around 11 or 12 the next night to exchange magic stones, two months had already passed.

The profit I earned for two months was only 50 silver coins.

It would certainly be a large amount by commoners’ standards, but in a gold shop that only deals in gold coins, silver coins would be useless.

Anyway, after returning to the annex by 5 am, I slept until 9 am.

The head maid only asked, ‘Did you sleep a lot since you’re still young?’, but no one seemed to think that I left the mansion every morning.

“Haam~”

After breakfast, I fell asleep right before lunch, and only after lunch time did I get back to normal activities.

“Did you finish all the homework I gave you yesterday?”

A woman in her late thirties who came to me as my tutor.

Sharon B Terben.

With her brown hair tied up high, she began examining her homework notes with brown eyes that matched her hair color.

Baron Terben, a vassal of the Speywon family. His wife, Sharon, came to the second annex from the beginning of February this year and claimed to be my tutor.

“Mathematics is 100 points. To think that you have already finished all of the second year math at the academy… … .”

“… … But I think history is a little bit wrong.”

When I smiled awkwardly, Sharon smiled warmly and patted my hair.

“History is 65 points? I’ll definitely have to try a little harder. And 100 points in magic, 72 points in world history… … .”

Three of the seven subjects to be studied at the academy had a score of 90 or higher, but the remaining four subjects did not even reach 80 points.

“I definitely thought the memorization part was weak… … . Have you ever studied magic on your own? The problems I gave you must be the 4th year course at the academy… … .”

When Sharon slurred, I nodded while scratching my head.

“There are books in the library, so I read a lot.”

Of course, that’s false.

In fact, thanks to the [Wizard’s Footsteps, 3rd Circle (Basic)] purchased at the Gold Shop, even if I didn’t learn the theory of magic, the knowledge was instilled in my head.

Unaware of that, Sharon looked at me with twinkling eyes.

“Are you interested in magic?”

A slightly exasperated voice.

Sharon is a woman who has mastered the magic of the 2nd Circle. I couldn’t see the level of the 3rd circle because I was blocked by the wall of talent, but it seems that as a magician, I was proud of my magic.

Did you recall my rumors?

She suddenly covered her mouth with her right hand.

“ah… … .”

Seeing that, I smiled bitterly and said.

“I plan to become a 6th-level official in charge of accounting in Hwangseong.”

“Level 6 Officer… … . It’s definitely a good job. I heard that the salary is high and you can buy a house in the capital at a low price. If it’s Keynes, I’m sure it could be.”

“yes!”

When I answered vigorously, she smiled warmly like a mother, and soon started class.

I told her that I would become a 6th-class officer, but unfortunately, I had no intention of burying my bones in the system.

My ultimate goal is to buy a huge mansion in a rural village and live affluent life.

It was my dream to marry a pretty and kind wife, give birth to children, and lead a chaste life.

‘Please, I hope Sophia will stop the ambition of the Death Parade… … .’

After praying in my mind for a while, before I knew it, Sharon was pushing her face right in front of my nose.

“Kenneth? What do you miss?”

“Oh, no, that… … .”

“The part I just explained… … . Can you say that again?”

At Sharon’s question, I immediately bowed my head in a cold sweat.

“I’m sorry!”

“Whoa… … . I’ll explain it again, so please listen carefully. You know?”

“yes!”

I answered while raising my right hand.

* * *

“… … Is it Kayneth H Spay One? First of all, I need to make that child my person.”

Sophia hardened her eyes as she mentioned the name of her only younger brother.

Sophia, who was married to the Marquess of Welford in her previous life.

Having become the mistress of the Welford family, she was exiled to the outskirts with a false accusation. And while moving to the place of exile, he was kidnapped by monsters claiming to be black magicians, and was soon offered as a sacrifice to summon the devil.

A memory I don’t want to think about again.

However, before Sofia died, she recalled the story she had heard from the monsters.

‘Khehehehe… … . Can’t it be that he’s trying to use his son as a sacrifice just because he dishonored the family’s name?

She had a hunch that her father existed behind the black magicians.

even… … .

‘Your father is an executive of our Death Parade! He’s also the one who learned the black magic of the 6th circle. Before going to the underworld, shouldn’t you at least find out who told you to kill you? Heh heh… … .’

The warlock’s creepy laugh was still ringing in her ears.

He couldn’t forgive the Marquis of Welford and Isabella, the concubine of the Marquis, who drove her into a villain, but her anger rose toward her father, Grans, who abandoned her as a sacrifice.

“… … You can’t trust anyone in this mansion.”

A person you can trust in any way. He decided that it was the best way to bring his younger brother, Kayneth H.

Then one day.

Tumble.

Sophia came face-to-face with Baroness Terben, who served as Kayneth’s tutor.

“long time no see. Baroness Terben.”

Startled by Sophia’s greeting, Sharon immediately responded with a smile.

“Yes, it’s been a while. Lady Sophia.”

Sophia is rumored to have outstanding beauty even in the Spay One family.

Even though she was still a child, Sharon looked slightly nervous as if she hadn’t thought that she would talk to him.

On the other hand, Sophia was reluctant and brought up the matter right away.

“How is Keynes doing these days… … Can I hear you?”

“ah… … .”

Did he not know that he would show interest in Kayneth?

Sharon gave a slightly embarrassed expression, but answered with a refreshing smile.

“Mister Keynes, you are very well. And these days, you are studying hard. Not too long ago, I passed the magic theory test at the academy with a score of 100, which can be solved by a 4th year student. Besides, in math… … .”

Sofia couldn’t help but be a little taken aback by Sharon’s appearance of pouring out various information as if parents were proud of their children.

‘Kaynes… … Was it that good?’

In her previous life, she and Kaynez seemed to have almost built a wall, not having a single conversation.

He, like the humans in his family, treated Kayneth as a ghost. As an incompetent child of the Spey One family.

However, according to Sharon’s story, Kayneth is showing an excellent figure in various fields, including the theory of magic.

“Oh, I said a lot of pointless things.”

“no. I was curious about my younger brother’s current situation for a while… … . I’m glad if you’re doing well.”

Sharon smiled bitterly at Sophia’s answer.

“I see.”

Sharon was very sorry for Kayneth’s situation.

Such a lovely and cute child… … . In addition, the attitude of trying hard at anything made me very happy as a teacher.

‘… … My son continued to play until he was 10.’

Sharon, who was invited as a tutor, stayed in the main building.

However, Keynes, the third son of the Speyone family, had no choice but to live in the second annex, hundreds of meters away from the garden, and Sharon was able to confirm once again that Kayneth’s position in the Speyone family was very poor.

‘You say you don’t even want to see what’s in front of you, and when you’re only 3 years old, you’re kicked out of the annex… … .’

Knowing this fact, Sharon’s eyes moistened whenever she saw Kayneth’s lively appearance.

‘If I go to the Rose family’s son-in-law, I’m sure I won’t be able to become a 6th-class officer.’

A situation in which you are not loved by your family and cannot even choose your own future.

Kayneth was a really pitiful kid.

Of course, the person in question thought it was fortunate that he was out of the sight of Grans.

Sharon smiled at the fact that Sophia in front of her showed interest in Kayneth.

“Kenneth is a really warm and good kid.”

“… … is that so.”

However, contrary to Sharon’s smile, Sophia answered with a calm expression.

“Excuse me, I have work to do. Please take good care of Kenneth in the future.”

“Yes, don’t worry.”

Unfortunately, the current Sophia was not at ease enough to worry about others. Because everyone in the main building is no different from your enemies.

A small girl sat on Sofia’s shoulder, who had grown distant from Sharon.

A girl who looks like a small doll only 10cm tall.

– Sophia, it seems like you said that he goes out to the city every night.

A girl whose whole body is composed of blue water. She was none other than the water spirit king, Elam.

“… … Did you check what the kid was doing?”

-I checked by releasing my children… … . You said that you subdue demons every morning. Besides, I heard that you can use 2nd circle magic freely?

“… … You mean that kid learned Second Circle magic?”

Sophia’s eyes widened at Elaim’s story.

-Yeah, it looks like that. Besides, they said he was such a cute boy that my children fell in love with him.

“… … .”

Sophia frowned when she saw that nothing matched the information she knew about her younger brother.
