chapter 33
33 – Dark Clouds Rising
Sister. It’s sad if you don’t have it, but it’s a very difficult existence if you have it.
Before and after being possessed, I had no younger sister. The only child there, the youngest here.
Meanwhile, Marie, who was next to Enter, caught her eye. Just like my little sister!
Because he’s not a real younger brother, plus one point. One more point because I feel good.
As my younger sister was suffering, it was natural for me to be nice to Marie.
I remember her hanging around quite a bit. Although I grew up and grew up a little bit.
Then, she didn’t even contact me when she came to the academy.
She said that as soon as she came, she was plagued here and there and couldn’t help it, but she honestly said this….
Mmm. From what I can see, he’s a bad guy. You completely forgot
[ Lihi oppa? ]
So when she looked through Marie’s eyes through her comms sphere, the corners of her conscience went round and round.
“Hello, Marie. Sorry for contacting you so late. How have you been doing?”
[ Yes, yes. How have you been doing. Have you ever been very busy? Enter Did I say anything wrong to oppa? ]
You must have been very sad because I never contacted you.
In the meantime, he seems to be very worried that he may have made a mistake.
As expected, he is a good kid. Would she have been like that even if she had been a real sister? I’m suddenly curious
“No, no. Actually, I was a bit busy, but now I have some free time. So I contacted you right away.”
[ I see. What a relief. Oh brother, are you okay? ]
“What?”
[ Enter Oppa keeps complaining that he will die. Multiple faculties are hell… You don’t do that…. ]
“… I have nothing to say because I am a sinner.”
Yes here! Are you okay! Not hard at all! If this happens, Enter will be trembling.
It’s pretty tough. If I said that, I think Marie would start to worry right away with tears in her eyes.
Is this a dilemma? Her head hurts, it hurts.
“Is your study going well?”
So the path I took was simple and clear. Turn the topic around.
Fortunately, Marie was a good kid who didn’t hold back.
[ Yes. I’m working hard. I’m really trying my best to help my brother. ]
“You are doing well. Still, always take care of yourself. The Countess said that if you fall down one more time, you won’t even be able to read a book.”
Marie is weak. And she is Enter’s mother who treats Marie like her own daughter.
Of course, the Countess would not be watching Marie for her health-damaging habits.
[ That, that’s… But if you don’t work hard, you and your brother…. ]
“If you want to help enter with me, study is important, but health is also important. Always said Who wins in the end?”
[ A person who sits for a long time. ]
“Yes. And who can sit for a long time?”
[ In the end, you said that you are a person whose stamina supports you. ]
“Then Marie must take care of her health even more, right?”
Nodding nod―
Marie nodded right away like a child. Where did she look at that and asked if she was 19 years old.
She’s still smaller than her peers, so if you look at her wrongly, she looks like a 15-year-old naked girl.
“Yes. Will I see you at the academy next year? Are you coming to the Faculty of Public Administration?”
[I think so. I also like the idea of having multiple faculties, so the officer faculties…. ]
“No.”
No, then. Right now, Marie’s body is overwhelmed with daily life.
At least it’s gotten a little better, and I’ve only been lying in bed before.
There was a time when it was a daily routine to always carry an armful of books and read to Marie by her side.
[ Ha, but…. ]
“If it is not possible, it is not possible. Number of animals.”
[ Yes, yes. Lee’s brother sorry. ]
I suddenly feel very sorry for the child who is slumped and muttering helplessly.
But what can I do? Considering Marie’s body, this is correct.
“Look at me, Marie. Even if everything else works, that doesn’t work. Got it?”
[ … So what else will it be? ]
“Yes. Do everything else, but don’t do anything physically demanding.”
Mari herself must have known that my body wouldn’t support me.
And also that if you fall down, it could be really serious.
Fortunately, Marie was no longer stubborn. She is a good sister
“Right. Did Enter talk about that? The sons of the aristocrats that this brother calls themselves, the young ladies starving.”
[ Uh… I think I heard it at first glance, but I want to hear about Lihi oppa’s story one more time. ]
Okay, then. It is more interesting to hear from the observer’s point of view than from the observer’s point of view.
I excitedly began to tell Marie about my achievements.
“Did something good happen?”
“It’s a surprise.”
After talking to Marie for the first time in a while, I came out of her room and was going to report to Enter.
Guernsey, who was sitting on her bench, sneaks up next to her and glances at me.
Then—
“Hmm.”
“… What are you doing?”
“It’s strange. Lihi, didn’t you go to your room?”
“Isn’t it?”
“But why does my body always smell like a woman?”
Ah. That’s Marie. I came here after chatting with a guy who looks like her sister!
Shall I introduce you? Even though he’s a bit weak, he’s really nice and he’s passionate about everything! hahahaha!
In other words, the offspring is certain to be physically or mentally disabled.
A man with a dead love radar doesn’t deserve to be in a relationship. Go and dig some ground.
In that sense, I’m not stupid enough to say it honestly.
“Speaking nonsense. So you’re saying I brought a girl into my room?”
“As expected, doesn’t it make sense?”
Fortunately, Arr calmly erased his doubts.
I’m sorry, Ar. I didn’t go into the room, but I did into the communication port.
“Hey, Lihi!”
“Enter. Isn’t he avoiding me again? Should I disappear this time?”
“Hey, what did you do? I contacted Marie….”
This sh*t.
“Huh?”
“Huh?”
Stop talking, as soon as he sees Ar, he’s the enterter who shuts up right away.
It’s too late. Ar is not deaf and must have heard everything.
“Ah. Right. I have to go to work Go first, Lihi.”
The enter that was approaching me turns in the exact opposite direction.
That bastard is throwing sh*t at me and trying to run away! You bad boy!
I need to grab that and get drunk right away! It has to be!—
“Stand there, Lihi.”
Ar grabs my arm with a smile on his lips.
“Who is Marie? Tell me something.”
“….”
It’s a friend. Thank you very much. I’ll grab you by the collar next time.

Time flows without stopping. It’s fair to everyone.
To the ordinary peasants of the empire who would be sweating and taking care of their fields.
For merchants who are busy going to and from all sorts of places to facilitate the flow of money and goods.
Even to the bureaucrats who are endowed with both rights and duties to enrich this empire.
To the students who are working hard to become future protagonists at the academy.
Some of them were busier than others.
“Hey, wake up. Enter. I’m late for the lecture at the Faculty of Public Administration.”
“Ugh… rather kill me….”
“It will be late. Beautiful. Excuse me, please listen to the book.”
“Are you going to run on your back?”
“I just want to drag it along, but since I’m your friend, I’ll look after you.”
As expected, the multiple faculties are hell itself. I wondered if I could do this all 4 years.
Worrying about that, Lihi took Ariete and Enter and ran across the two faculties.
“No, you bastards. Can i do this like this No redeployment? Jin-hyung, have you already forgotten the idiots who ate the entire army after salting it like a dog?”
Then, he nagged at his classmates in the Officers Faculty with sharp blows.
From the standpoint of my alumni, it’s only the first year, and the first semester is just about to end.
I couldn’t understand why they were pushing themselves so hard.
‘It’s really not long now. It’s Königssen’s summer offensive.’
When the final exams are over, the Officers Faculty members will be dispatched directly to the unit.
And I plan to go there to gain even a little bit of experience or the atmosphere of the field.
The problem is that an unexpectedly huge tsunami strikes there.
It can’t be avoided. They are the ones who have sworn themselves to be the breakwaters of the Empire.
Then you have to overcome it more wisely. We must protect more of them.
One day there will be numerous soldiers of the Empire waiting for their orders.
[ … With the 1st Cavalry Division? ]
“Yes, Captain.”
In addition, Leigh chose the 1st Cavalry Division, now moved to the front, as his contingent.
While most of the members were trying to gain adequate experience by choosing an appropriate unit, they were willing to volunteer for the most dangerous and difficult place to go there.
[ …. ]
Douglas was silent for a moment. He didn’t even think of persuading my brother.
Lee Mi-hee called himself ‘division commander’ rather than his older brother. There was no way he didn’t know that this was his proclamation that he would thoroughly serve as a reserve officer.
[ Lihi. As you know, this is not something I can do on my own. ]
“I know. So the Commander-in-Chief gave permission directly.”
If you use your back belly to get to a comfortable place, of course it will be a problem.
But who will say what if you use it to volunteer for a place that is difficult for anyone to see?
[ Lately, unusual reports have been coming in. ]
“….”
[Are you still trying to come here? Rich Reinhardt. ]
“Yes, Commander Douglas Reinhardt.”
Whoa—
Douglas let out a sigh and realized that the time had come for a decision to be made.
[ Good. Then, investigate all officers’ department personnel who will be coming to the 1st Cavalry Division, write in detail, and report to me officially. ]
With that, the discussion between the two brothers ended. The rest will have to be met on the spot.
‘It’s finally starting.’
Lihi clenched his fists and waited for the next great war to come.
My heart beats. Nervous. Strange excitement soars. At the same time, fear wells up.
A true soldier shuddered at the destruction brought about by war.
At the same time, a dual existence that has no choice but to hang on to the glory that can be obtained there.
Only those who properly move between them can survive to the end.
“….”
Lich raised his head and looked through the window in the direction that would be facing the Empire and Königsen.
