Akuyaku Reijo Ni Koi Wo Shite

Vincent and Aeriel have two different brothers, Elwin.

I've been in this mansion for more than three months, and it's finally been understood. I don't think anyone around me will give me such important information, but I am in a position where people can avoid it. I have to ask for information from myself.

After knowing Elwin-sama's existence, various things became clear at a stretch. It seems that there is no point in hiding it.

First, Elwin. Your mother is different from you two. Her wife is Miria, her two mothers, and Erwin's mother is a concubine. And he seems to be not very high.

Because of that, Elwin and her mother seemed to have narrow shoulders. Milia, as I now know, is as tight as she looks. If you don't like it, you probably did it pretty hard.

Miria said she didn't really want to stay under one roof, so they are living apart on the premises.

That's why I didn't even notice. It was thanks to the visitors that they realized their existence.

Visited Viscount Lang Ustein. He is a subordinate noble of the Marquis of Winheels, and seems to be a powerful house.

When the Viscount Ustein came to our house, he hoped to meet Elwin at all costs. Vincent says that seems pretty rude. He was quite angry at what it was said to be lacking only with her son, Vincent.

I wasn't sure why that was the story so far, but I guessed it because I accepted the other servants. I am still lacking in study.

Despite being rude, Viscount Ustein seemed to have the power to be rude, and despite the reluctance, Erwin was allowed to be present. Instead, Milia was to sit.

Anyway, that day, for the first time, I learned of Erwin-sama and saw it with my own eyes.

Blond eyes with blond hair, the same as Vincent so far, but everything else is different, including the body. It is only the color of the hair and eyes that makes the connection of blood even if they are side by side.

In other words, Erwin was an amazing young boy. It's not like Aeriel, so she's like her mother.

My husband knew the character of his wife and gave birth to another woman, so I wondered if it was such a thing and was a little rude.

Well, this Elwin-sama. His reputation was superior to Vincent in everything else, not just his appearance.

Sword arm, study, personality etc. Anyway, everything. And the biggest problem was magical talent.

The children of the Three Houses test the amount of magic and their aptitude, in short, a test of ritual at the age of eight. It is an important ceremony for the three kings who are at the heart of the kingdom.

You can't leave the Sanhou family to someone who isn't magical. If a talented child is not born, adopting a marriage or adopting a marriage is one of the obligations of the three lords.

In the attempt, Elwin showed a brilliant talent.

And speaking of Vincent who did it two years ago ... Needless to hear. You can understand your skills by looking at tutoring classes. It was not suitable for the successor to the Winheels.

This has led to subtle changes. Elwin might be the best successor to the House of Winheels, and such voices are being heard from subordinate nobles. And the people in the house do not say it, but I do so in my heart.

The only opponents are her husband, his wife, and Eriel.

In particular, his wife seems to have a more severe attitude toward Elwin and her mother. I was scared and couldn't ask anyone what I was doing.

This time, the visit of Viscount Ustein wanted to see Elwin-sama, with a clear willingness that the Viscount Ustein would push Elwin-succeed over. The situation is moving so far.

It's also clear why his predecessor, Wal, was willing to take over Vincent's position as full-time servant. The successor was just changed in anticipation of becoming Elwin-sama.

I thought he wasn't a good guy, but he did.

That's good. It doesn't matter to me. The question is what Vincent wants. As a servant I just follow it.

I thought it was-

"Please do something"

"Is it somehow ...?"

"You are your full-time servant of your brother? Are you willing to leave the current situation?"

After receiving a call from Mr. Aeriel, she suddenly got angry.

"... I guess it's a successor problem?"

"What else is there?"

"I have no authority"

"Still, you're the full-time servant!"

I know that you can't do anything to the full-time servant, but it doesn't work for Airiel.

"Um, what exactly is it?"

"Take it for you."

"... to eliminate competitors?"

"It's good. Do it."

I was going to say something drastic, but it was simply accepted. Aeriel doesn't seem to understand exactly what I said.

"Um ... that's the subject of my brother Elwin."

"Who else is there?"

"Huh?"

"What?"

"I'm Eriel's brother."

"... If you disturb the house, you can't help it. That's your responsibility as a nobleman."

“…………”

I knew it. Despite their differences, they are willing to remove their blood-connected brothers for their homes. That is the responsibility of Aeriel as a nobleman.

"Can I do that?"

"... someday if I keep waiting for the opportunity, but the problem is that I don't have the confidence I couldn't do."

"so"

"I'm worried that Vincent will not bother you as a result."

"The dependent aristocrat may turn away."

"Isn't that a problem?"

"Yes. I'll put it on hold. What else can I do?"

"……Yes"

The story of the assassination was put on hold, and I thought it was over, but it did not. This persistence is common to siblings. Probably similar to the wife.

"... is Vincent now a formal successor?"

"that's right"

"So, don't you have to hurry so much?"

"Are you leaving?"

"No, that's not the case. I just want to make Vincent feel like a successor around me. There isn't much to do that at once."

"For example?"

"... I'm going to be the best in the war."

"I can't do it right now."

"So, now is the time to improve Vincent's ability."

"If you do it, when will you show the results to others?"

"that is……"

Eriel is strict about these pursuits. If you take a sloppy response, you'll get away quickly. Such a servant's attitude is one of the least forgiving of Eriel and has caused him to shout.

"Is it true?"

"No, that's not the case."

"So what?"

"I think it's probably after I entered the institution, but I don't know exactly what opportunities I have."

I used a little knowledge of another world. However, I am not confident that a school in this world is the same as a school in another world, and it will be a vague answer.

"... Yeah, it happened."

"Is there?"

"That's right. There are regular exams when you enter the institution. There should be other opportunities to show your skills to others around the event."

"So, I'm going to have Vincent work hard for it."

"In particular?"

"... Um"

"Is it true?"

Really tough. When you are suddenly called out and get answers to the end, how do you do? But responding to this is my job.

"I don't know if it can be achieved"

"What do you mean?"

"You need to change your tutor first. Magic tutors first. Even if I don't know anything, sometimes I find it a bit strange to say something."

"... I can't forgive it."

Aeriel's anger suddenly caught fire. Being unfaithful to your employer is one of the things that Eriel cannot forgive. It's the same as trying to deceive with sloppy words.

"It's just my sense of not knowing magic."

"Teachers teach to strangers. Not knowing Rion means that teacher has no talent to teach."

"If so, I think with another teacher, but not so easily."

"Good. I'll teach you."

"Yes?"

"I teach my brother. I'm better at magic than my brother.

"……I understand"

I felt that the solution was far away, but this is not the place to go. It is a contraindication to imitate the feelings of Eriel, your brother's life.

"After?"

"Sword Master"

"What? Eric, my brother's sword teacher, should be a swordsman who competes for one or two in my home?"

"Yes. I'm cheeky, but I'm a sword talent."

"So why do we need a replacement?"

"One is that I do not know the feelings of those who are not talented."

"……that's"

"I'm sorry to Vincent, but I don't think he has the talent of a sword, but I think talent is not everything."

"... Talent is good, though. Is there any other reason?"

"Yes. I can see what I'm comparing to Elwin. I can see from the side, so I think Vincent definitely knows."

"……What's that?"

Also, it has stimulated me. Let's give up now. The only way to change Vincent's environment is to criticize the problematic person.

"I think a person who teaches only Vincent, who is more serious, and who seems to have climbed up with some effort, is good."

"... I see. After that?"

"Students ... Is it a matter of Vincent's motivation?"

"... It's the hardest part."

"Yes ... I'm going to try it out."

Did Airiel know this too? I hate studying Vincent-sama, and there is no good way to think about it.

"I'll think about it. For the time being, I'm going to participate."

"Yes?"

"So I study with my brother."

"……Yes"

You have nothing to say unless you have an alternative. I can't say anything even if I have one.

A few days later, I know who's in the house.

◇◇◇

Study time in the morning. Next to Vincent, Aeriel also attends tutoring with a tutor.

"My brother, what does this mean?"

"Hmm? This is ... Rion, try to explain it in a way that is easy to understand."

"Huh?"

"It's difficult for Eal if it's my explanation. You should be able to explain it clearly."

"that is……"

"Okay, so I'll get an explanation from Rion."

When I turned my eyes to my tutor, Mr. Moore, I ignored him and said, "I'm sorry. Then I have to obey. Let me forgive you, even if it's a bit wrong.

"So ... to get profit, you need to buy cheap and sell high."

"Of course."

"So what determines the high and the cheap?"

"... it's the price you sell."

"Then, is the bread sold with two copper coins expensive? Is it cheap?"

"It's cheap"

"... Um, this is expensive."

"Well, isn't that copper coin?-I haven't seen it yet."

I guess you don't see money in the first place. By the way, I've been shopping for Vincent and have never been asked the price. Honestly, I don't know how many times I was tempted to spend my money.

"... well, well, two pieces of copper are expensive for me."

"Is Lion paid so low?"

"... No, I don't need to use it, it's enough now. I change the word. For me when I was living in a favela, even two copper coins were too expensive to get."

"so……"

Aeriel's expression is dim. Such places are really obedient. But now it's a little different.

"Um, I don't need sympathy, it's just for explanation."

"Yes"

"But Aeriel said it was cheap. Now, is the bread expensive? Is it cheap?"

"……Oh?"

"The price, not the price, depends on who buys it. So let's get back to it. If there are people who buy it for two pieces of copper, but they buy it for three pieces of copper, buy it. You can make a profit by selling it. ''

"Yes"

"That's the price decision we see from demand."

"The buyer decides the price."

"In short, yes."

"Then, say briefly."

"... Yes. Next is the price determination from supply. If you want to sell bread for three copper coins, you can't sell it without someone to buy it. Why is that?"

"Huh? Is there a reason for that?"

"Yes. I don't have to buy it, so I don't. I could get it with two copper coins. I could make it at my own house."

"... Yeah"

"Then you can't get two copper coins. You can't make them in your own house. What happens then?"

"I can sell three copper coins."

"Yes. But maybe you could sell it on four. If you can't get it unless you sell it, you might sell it higher, and that's the pricing from the supply."

"But it's cowardly."

"Merchants aim to increase profits."

"That's why"

"It's okay. That's not the end. The merchants who take advantage of their weaknesses and raise the price are not trusted. Will be losing.

This is a barbarian. But in the story that only the unfaithful gains, Eriel is not convinced, and the story will not end unless he adds it.

"... Yeah, that's okay."

"The explanation looks like this, do you understand this?"

"Yes, it's okay."

I don't think I can understand it, but Eriel is OK. It's unnecessary knowledge for Airiel. What I want you to understand is Vincent-sama ...

Vincent looks at the textbook with a difficult face.

"... I see. That kind of thing."

"eh?"

"Ah, no, yeah, it was a good way to explain it.

"Yes, brother."

It's surprising that my explanation helped me understand, but if you're aiming for this and studying together, let me explain.

It is more surprising. Is Eriel terribly smart?

If so, I have no eyes. I have to reflect on it.

Surprise to Ariel did not end there. It did not end with such a thing, but it is correct.

This person is definitely a genius. I can affirm about things and magic.

Airiel's magic attribute is, of course, the wind attribute. You can clearly see that the spirits of the wind, which should not be visible to me, gather around Aeriel and emit light.

Regardless of the attribute, showing how much presence you can see around you means how many spirits have gathered and how much magical power you have received.

Surprisingly, Eriel has been in this state forever.

"Did you understand, your brother does not feel the magic inside your body, but the magic around you?"

"... I say so."

"Do you see the magic around me?"

"Oh, oh. Real, it's amazing."

Eriel eagerly teaches, but this seems counterproductive. Apparently, Vincent is losing his talent.

"I can do this to my brother. I just don't know how to do it."

"But ..."

"The magic that is around me. The same being is in other places. Feel it."

"Same existence ... I can't see it"

"I don't think so. It should look like my brother."

Is this also a teaching method of a genius? It seems that Aeriel cannot explain how to do things that are natural and impossible.

"... focus on your eyes"

"eh?"

"Oh, because you see, is the eye important?"

"... I see."

"And because of the wind attributes, I think it is necessary to have an image of the wind. Why don't you open the window and let the wind in?"

"... is that simple?"

"I'm sorry for an amateur's idea."

"... what can I do?"

"Now I can open it."

He went in front of the window and opened the door. The wind comes in from the outside to feel good. If you can feel this, you will see it.

Vincent stares out of the window. Such places are really obedient. I wish I could show it with my own strength, but with different attributes I can't do anything.

However, I understand that it is useless as it is now.

"... Eriel"

"What?"

"Release once. If you gather around Aeriel so much, there will be no one under Vincent."

"……you"

Airiel's complexion has changed. He noticed that he had made a mistake in the reaction.

"You see ?!" "I saw!"

""eh?""

"I see. Oh, what is this? こ れ You're approaching."

"Yeah, that's the magic that exists around you. Now, reach out to the magic inside your body and collect it in your palm."

"Activation and circulation"

Vincent begins to sing as usual. The palms began to glow dimly. The spirits of the wind will be delighted with the meal.

"What's the rest?"

"If you sing to the end, the magic will be activated."

"What's different from usual?"

"I'm surprised that they used magic without recognizing the source of power. The element of magic is the magic that is gathered in your brother's hand."

"So, what's the magic inside the body?"

"Is it the power to pull?"

"Is that so?"

"Yes. If you use a lot of magic, you'll get a lot of magic. That will change the power."

"Really……"

If you can recognize this, definitely the power of Vincent's magic will increase. As Ariel said, I was more surprised to be using magic without knowing what it was.

Somehow, great. It's like Vincent's possibilities are expanding. It's thanks to Airiel.

Aeriel is staring at me with tight eyes.

"……that?"

"Rion, you can use magic?"

"... No, I can't use it."

"Tell me a lie! Then why do you see my magic !?"

"that is……"

Apparently, it wasn't visible to everyone. Failure due to ignorance. I should have been careful.

"You lied to me, right?"

"Oh, no."

"You lied?"

"……I'm sorry"

"What attributes can be used?"

"... water attribute"

"What attributes can be used?"

"... a little fire attribute"

"Eh !?"

It is Vincent who raised the surprise voice. Aeriel-sama is convinced. I knew it, so I heard it persistently.

"... Do you know this?"

"Only you two"

"So, that's what it will be in the future. Don't tell anyone."

"Yes"

"Your brother too"

"……Do you get it"

One of my secrets was revealed to them. I'm worried about what will happen, but I'm also relieved.

I don't want to hide anything. But I can't really tell another person, and I can't believe it.

Still, it's time to talk. I believed so and decided to wait for that day. Life here has just begun.
