I Became the Villainess’s Brother

Fortuna is engaged.

Engaged to Riley!

Cousins can get engaged, that's for sure.

Beautiful man, beautiful woman, beautiful best couple.

But.

Fortuna and Riley.

Konyaku.

"... hey, are you alive?

"Dear Riley, I feel that Mr. Langley is distant."

Is there any chance that Konyak misheard?

Konyak isn't in this world, is he?

I don't remember seeing it, and I don't remember eating it.

I don't know how to make it, but I don't feel like I was crushing potatoes.

If there is potato, will there also be konyaku?

No, there won't be.

Is Riley Fortuna and Konyak?

No, you don't make sense!

"Do we have to leave this alone for the time being?

"Dear Riley, I'm afraid it was a little too shocking for Master Langley"

"Nah. I thought it was a pretty good idea. Oh, tea substitute. You smell different."

"It comes from the same Bradin, but this one will be the type with enhanced tannins"

"Well, you'd rather give Langley a drink than me, wouldn't you?

Did Riley like Fortuna?

I didn't see that bare gesture at all, and I didn't realize it.

No, really?

At Andy's birthday party, you snapped Miss Vermouth stuffed with Fortuna.

Oh, maybe you've always liked it?!

"... hey, Eldor"

"Yes, Master Riley"

"It's time to snap Langley's head off, okay?

"I know the head is a very delicate place."

"Then I'll shoot you in the stomach."

"If you can, I'd like you to take a more convenient approach."

"Hmm."

Oh, yeah, we need to see how Fortuna feels!

If Riley likes Fortuna and Fortuna likes Riley too, then I'm the disturbing bug?!

"Huh?!

Suddenly, a cold mass rolled down my back.

Ice.

What, why the ice?

"You woke up, didn't you?

Riley laughed niggardly and erased the ice on her palm.

Eldor said, "Excuse me," and removed the ice put in my clothes back.

"Well, that's it. I don't like Fortuna."

"You hated it?!

"That's not true. Well, calm down. Eldor."

"Yes, Master Langley, why don't you drink this tea first and let it calm you down?"

Riley prompts me, and Eldor just brews tea.

Ugh.

I guess I'm in such a hurry.

Are you in a hurry?

I'm so tired of everything.

"First, my engagement to Fortuna. Is this just a disguise?

"If we weren't really engaged, the possibility of engaging the prince would remain"

"Oops, but I'm not forcing you to screw up your engagement because of Prince Huddle's character."

"I mean, pretend like Fortuna and I are getting engaged?

"That sort of thing. Actually, when you get engaged, Fortuna scratches you when you break it. So just swing."

"But in that case, won't Riley be able to get engaged this time?

We're kind of the Duke's house.

I'm a fat, disgraceful Langley. I'll have an engagement story in there, too.

I refuse, though.

So is Fortuna.

Really engaged to Riley, for breaking up.

Still, there will be mountains of aristocrats who want to be associated with the House of the Duke of Jackberry.

If it's as beautiful as Fortuna, I think it's still a lot of deduction, even with some scratches in the conversation.

Not to mention if you're not actually engaged yourself.

But what about Riley?

Second son of the Earl's family.

I wonder if I would be distant from the Duke's house and the nobles who did not want to be distracted by the fact that I broke into an engagement with the Duke of Jackberry.

To boulders, though I don't think the Count Weimar family itself can do this.

"Well no. But I'm the second son, right? My brother will inherit the house, and I'm not interested in getting engaged or getting married."

"If you don't think about getting upset from Prince Huddle,"

"Hmm, you wouldn't feel good about that, but you're not the type to fall in people's backs"

"It might be now, but people would be different, wouldn't they?

"You don't have to keep swinging for long enough to change, do you? He's a prince, and there's got to be more to it than us."

"... so the rest depends on how Fortuna feels...?

"Uh, but can't we do this?"

"Why?"

One, I found the biggest weakness in this operation.

Weaknesses in this operation?

I wonder what it is.

"You don't think Fortuna's gonna lie to you, do you?

"Ah..."

Yes, it was.

I can never pretend to be engaged to Riley in Fortuna.

Even if they just held hands, they were turning bright red.

"That sort of thing"

"I'm really tired..."

"But, well, if it really bothers you, I'll be engaged, not disguised. Don't get so sick about the prince, okay?

He puts his hand on his shoulder to comfort me, but something's already up.

Faster than I could do, the fast demon wagon got to the Jackberry house.

As soon as I get home, Fortuna will greet me.

"Brother, Master Riley, welcome home."

"... I'm home"

"Brother Langley, was there something at school? You seem very tired."

"Uh, no, I'm a little tired, aren't I?"

"Master Riley?

Riley, you're not gonna tell me about the engagement, are you?!

Riley smiles and shakes his head at me looking back.

"I took the school around. Because it's rare."

"It was. I'd like to take a quick look at the auditorium of the Royal Windilia School. The light will dance, won't it?

"Yes, yes. Because the ceiling is glazed. The blue sky spreads on one side and the sun's rays fall. There's a special event at the entrance ceremony."

"Well, what kind of event is it?

"That's a secret. I'd rather see it with my own eyes than hear rumors."

"Didn't your brother tell you?

"I'd love to tell you, but I'm sure Fortuna would be more impressed to see that for herself."

"If that's the case with your brother, I'll put up with it."

Smile softly, Fortuna follows my room with the servants.

"I baked cookies with the head chef."

Arianne's voice was heard from the end of the hallway, almost at the same time Fortuna said so.

I'm feeling a little fast, and I come here with both hands holding the cage and saying, "It's cookie ~!".

I only have a bad feeling.

"Arianne, wait. Come here slowly so you don't panic..."

"Ugh!

Arianne scratched it from the side I was talking about.

But I don't say hello to the floor, and the cookies aren't scattered.

"Arianne, you always say, don't you? Calm down a little bit."

"Thank you, Eldor ~"

Eldor, who had predicted ahead, was lightly supportive of Arianne.

No more Eldor on Arianne's side.

"Speaking of which, you got a molten demon ore in the meantime?

"Ah. That would be interesting material"

"That doesn't harden anything but the sun's light, does it?

Riley reaches out to the window in my room.

There is a demonic ore that is illuminated and transparent by the light of the sun.

This demonic ore is dissolved by magic and hardened again by the light of the sun.

And even magic hardens.

I've tried so many times, I'm sure of it.

"Hey, you want to give it a try?

Freeze the demon ore that melts with or without Riley.

In the ice, the demon ore swayed and turned into a liquid.

"Well, you're an unusual demon ore"

"Can you drink ~?"

"Arianne, don't drink if you're wrong"

"Ho, I won't really drink it ~"

I'll always deny it, but I don't know.

In Arianne's case, it's a misfortune attribute.

I think I accidentally drank it.

"Even with a lot of magic, there's no sign of solidification at all, is there?

Riley thickens the layer of ice and exerts magic on the liquid inside.

But the molten demon ore never solidifies.

"I need you to lend me a little"

"Whoa, can we keep this up?

"Yeah, because if you get rid of the ice now, the liquid will flow off."

As I say, I send magic from the top of the ice into the demon ore.

With much more force, a hard sound was made and the molten demon ore solidified.

"Are you serious? Why can't I just consolidate?

"I don't know. Is it just Riley?"

Fortuna won't let me try and......

"Let's see if I can try it, too, while I cross the line"

"Eldor, can you ask me? I'll melt it, so try it."

I'll melt the demon ore again.

Eldor concentrates his consciousness.

"... you don't seem to solidify"

"Wow, I'll try, too!

Arianne lined up next to Eldor and mummy - used a lot of magic.

Instead, I was surprised that Arianne could have used magic.

"... I can't ~..."

"Arianne, it's okay. It's probably more rare in this situation."

I leave it to Eldor and Fortuna to deceive Arianne, who is in tears, and I concentrate my consciousness on the demon ore.

Just like earlier, the demon ore solidified with a kinky, hard sound.

"You're the only one who's free to consolidate."

"Is that what's going to happen so far?"

Although there is a method of solidifying with sunlight, it takes time.

If I'm the only one who can fix it with magic, maybe I can get a job in my hand?

The demon ore in my hand glowed with a photograph of my black eyes.
