chapter 18
18 – Episode 18 God Existed, But He Couldn’t Grant His Wish
From the top of the academy overlooking the festival, Chris looked down.
“majesty.”
A voice came from behind. The owner of the heavy voice was the only escort
knight that sister could say she trusted the most.
“Did you send a letter to His Majesty the Father?”
“yes. And I sent Her Highness’s too.”
“is it.”
Chris’ gaze was still fixed down there, down to the festivities. He kept his
ears open and spoke.
“Your sister seems to be doing well.”
“You’re lively these days.”
“The cause is that wizard over there?”
Crimson was silent. Chris was not offended by the silent Crimson. Rather, it
made me smile.
He remembers his sister from his childhood.
‘He was infinitely arrogant, indolent, bored, and bored with everything.’
There was no ‘passion’ for my sister. If you learn 1, you know 10, if you learn
10, you realize 100.
genius.
A genius who stands out in all fields where words simply aren’t enough.
That’s why my sister couldn’t face the wall Beomjae felt.
There was no wall that Beomjae had to stop and work on facing the wall.
The sister he remembers made everything so easy that he never felt the need to
try.
That’s why there’s no passion… Even though my sister was the one who
suffocated from indolence and boredom and didn’t do anything.
‘But it seems to have definitely changed recently.’
Chris invited his sister to the festival as part of it. His Majesty the Father
asked for something, but I wanted to confirm with my own eyes that my sister was
also energetic.
So, I partly separated Crimson and Sister, and put Cadian and the two together.
His eyes captured his older sister, Cadian, and his younger brother chattering
at the fishing spot. My sister was talking. My sister was active.
“Does your sister still sleep for half a day?”
“I’m just curious. “You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.”
“…These days, he only sleeps for 7 hours.”
“Is that wizard over there the cause?”
He pointed his finger into the distance. It was so far away that the person
looked like a small dot, but when Crimson strained his eyes a little, it seemed
as if it was right in front of him.
Cadian and Her Royal Highness were talking. Crimson, who assists Stella every
day, knows. That light burst of laughter was something you couldn’t normally
see.
He stuttered and opened his mouth.
“yes. you’re right.”
Chris let out a satisfied laugh. It seems to be worthwhile to bring my sister to
the academy. For a while, he just watched his sister enjoying the festivities in
the distance.
Eventually he turns around. Chris messed up his hair once. He approached
Crimson, who was still silently standing behind him.
“Leave those two alone and let us enjoy ourselves.”
My sister was enjoying the festival.
…1n a way that Chris never expected.
“I won.”
Her Highness, the princess, was smiling victoriously. Purple eyes twinkle. She
was offering the price of a bet.
It makes me want to close my ears. I wanted to make the bet and everything
invalid.
However, the opponent is the imperial family. It is also the star of the empire.
Her Highness, the 1st Princess. I wailed.
A grievance comes from the depths of the heart. Unable to find anything to say,
I pursed my lips several times before asking my younger brother.
“Are you sure you’re strong?”
“huh . n
Yohane answered confidently. But I didn’t understand. There must have been 10
fish caught in Her Highness’s bucket.
‘Since one was released, I should also have 10.‘
I almost gave up and moved on because of the unexpected event, but when I think
about it again, it was definitely a match that should have been a draw.
I doubted my brother’s biased judgment. If it’s my brother, it’s definitely
possible.
When he was young, when he bet, he suffered a lot, so he must be getting revenge
on me.
look
The light smile on his little brother’s face adds to the credibility of my
hypothesis.
“It’s ugly.”
Her Highness, the princess, gave me a pitiful look, as if looking at a gambler
who couldn’t accept defeat, but even if it was ugly, it was my disguise.
I absolutely had to check it out.
“Here, here. Brother, take a look.”
As if there was nothing to lose, the younger brother stretched out his shoulders
and held out a bucket. The movement without a moment’s hesitation sprouts
anxiety from deep in the heart.
No way, no way… I counted the number of fish swimming enthusiastically in the
bucket.
The blue one on the left was my bucket, and the red one on the right was the
bucket containing the fish the princess caught.
‘My side got 10 hits.’
Just in case, I counted again, but the number of fish I caught was 10. So, I
immediately counted Her Highness’s fish.
The fish splashing around in the bucket…
‘…why, 117°
There were 11 in total.
It was strange. If my eyes weren’t crooked, I saw that I was going to catch 9
fish when I was sneaking a little while ago.
I would have caught one more fish, so the number of fish had to be 10.
“You wonder why there are 11 of them?”
Her Highness, the princess, approached.
“yes. I wonder.”
“Nothing. I just prepared two buckets and caught one more in advance.”
Stella gave a gentle smile. She looked down at the bucket. I put one finger into
the bucket. A fish bit her finger.
He raised his hand straight up. The fish gets out of the bucket. Stella waved
the fish proudly at Cadian.
“This one fish has given me victory.”
A flash of emotion appears on Stella’s face. Yohane quietly announced the winner
of the bet to her who was full of joy.
“A total of 11 fish that Lady Stella caught. And the fish he caught were 10. The
winner is Lady Stella.”
I couldn’t resist In the meantime, Yohane asked Stella secretly.
“By the way, I bet, is there a prize? If it were my older brother, I would have
bet on the product unconditionally when betting.”
Stella, who was in a good mood, openly revealed about the bet.
“There is one thing that is more like a penalty than a betting product.”
“What is the penalty?”
“If I win, your older brother will compete in the crossdressing competition, and
if your older brother wins, I will compete in the crossdressing competition.”
“yes…?”
Stella gave a mischievous smile at Yohane, who seemed flustered, and Cadian, who
was silent.
“And since I won. Your older brother is going to go to a dress-up contest.”
Cadian wanted to shout.
“Shouldn’t I go out?!’
However, they couldn’t stop Her Highness’s tyranny.
“uh…”
Yohane glanced at his older brother. The older brother’s complexion was pale.
‘T guess that was the real bet.’
He felt a little sorry for his brother. Because it was his idea to put some fish
in another bucket.
But brothers are like that. He made an excuse to his brother’s conscience deep
in his heart.
“Pick up the bucket.”
I resigned myself and lifted the bucket.
I’ve been having bad luck lately, so I’ve even donated money to God… but it
doesn’t seem to have any effect at all.
Luck is not a word these days.
‘Is it because wizards don’t believe in God?’
How much money did I give as a donation, but God ate and bounced.
It carries 10 fish and a heavy bucket full of water.
“Brother, I will carry this one.”
My younger brother, feeling a bit remorseful, came along to listen.
The time when a bucket was handed over.
Cheeky!
A fish got out of the bucket, bounced on the floor, and spat out what it was
holding in its mouth on impact.
I saw the fish vomit.
“uh? this.”
It was a small fish.
It wasn’t a big fish, but he was eating one very small fish.
But I just threw up from shock.
The big fish that spits out the small undigested fish flaps.
Jump! Jump!
I slowly turned my head to check the color of the bucket where the fish had just
come out. blue.
that it is
“Eleven…?”
My fish has reached 11.
God did exist.
“It’s dead, so it’s invalid.”
Stella countered.
“There was no rule that it could only be alive, right?”
However, the objection was ignored.
I gave my younger brother, who was the referee, a very, very, very intense look.
“Hey, is it a draw?”
Johanne, who didn’t want to see his older brother dressing up as a woman,
nodded.
“Well… there’s nothing in the rules that says you have to stay alive, so it’s
a draw.”
It wasn’t until after the confirmation came out of my sister’s mouth that I let
out a sigh of relief.
It’s a draw, so there’s no penalty anymore.
You don’t have to dress up! I salute you from the depths of my heart
I said with a smile.
“The bet ends here.”
I wanted it to end smoothly like this.
But Stella didn’t want it to end like this. So she became grumpy.
“Then, since it’s a draw, they both won. As promised, I will go to the men’s
dress up contest and you to the women’s dress up contest.”
Cadian’s eyes trembled in bewilderment.
Her Highness the Princess… Why are you doing this to me?
At this point, Stella wanted to see Cadian’s crossdressing even if it was Ogiro.
