I Became the Villainess’s Brother

A relaxing afternoon with no school, no tutoring classes.

I used to read books in the Jackberry family library.

A children's book Eldor used to buy me when I was asleep.

Stories of children bravely confronting a world threatened by dark magic.

A new issue of that book had arrived.

They said Eldor was buying it for me.

As soon as the story finally entered the good realm and became a scene to fight the enemy, some cracking flashy sound rang all the way to the library.

For a moment, I thought it was the sound of the effects of a magical attack in the story.

There's no way that's happening, and I, I sigh lightly.

The flashy sound sounded from under the library, but honestly, I don't even have to look down.

Somehow, I could see what had happened.

Still, if you look down through the window, I mean, still, somehow.

Arianne said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Apologizing, "he cleans up what's a desperately dropped dish.

Even though there is no one around.

Why did you take the dishes to the backyard?

Everything is a mystery, including that.

When I closed the book quietly, I headed for the backyard.

Going directly beneath the library room, Arianne was just finally holding the dishes back.

No one is rushing to see if it's because of the backyard or if it's too much of the usual.

No, well, it's really past the usual.

"Arianne."

"Huh?!

Gashan!

The moment I spoke, Arianne dropped the dishes again.

I didn't threaten you.

Why are you calling from the front and dropping it, this kid?

I clean up the dishes that Arianne dropped while I'm about to get a mild migraine.

Let's just tell Fortuna not to let this kid have anything to crack anymore.

Oh, don't you have to tell me.

This dish, it's all silver.

Unbreakable type.

I mean, you're trying to keep Arianne from holding any more cracks.

... Is that it?

"Arianne, how long have you been wearing glasses?

Arianne's small face is stuck with large round lens glasses that are slightly unsuitable.

I don't care what you think, it's for adults and it doesn't fit Arianne.

Even now, I suppress the frame with one hand to prevent it from falling.

"Well, my eyes are getting worse."

Yeah, I know that.

You have to call me if it's not bad, right?

"Have you tried healing magic?

"Master Eldor has taken you to the attending teacher. But it seems like the type that won't heal ~"

Hmm.

I could have cured your injury or illness.

If you can't cure it with your attending Harptors-Dell healing magic, there's no turning for me.

Because magic also seems omnipresent and not omnipresent.

"Are you suddenly losing sight of me?

"Uh... the..."

"Be clear."

"Ha, ha. When I was studying, it got worse."

"Study? What?

"Ugh... Royal School's, it's an entrance exam..."

"What. Are you serious?

"Ugh, you can't, I know, but I want to work hard, so sooo"

Arianne turns bright red on her face and squeezes her hands.

It would have taken a lot of magic or academia for civilians to enroll in the Royal School.

The servants who serve the aristocracy don't have to worry in terms of tuition, as most of the tuition is paid for by their employer, the aristocracy.

Nevertheless, in the case of civilians, they struggle in various respects, as they bear only the minimum costs.

Uniform, for example.

Employers usually wear one each year.

One for each in summer and winter.

I want another one when I get dirty or when I do laundry, but honestly, I think it's pretty expensive.

Even if we have a slightly larger eye size, it will only last two years at most because the growing child will wear it.

So normally, you go to schools in every territory.

There are naturally schools in Jackberry territory as well.

This one doesn't cost as much money as Royal School.

If you're a special student at the Royal Windilia School, you pay for uniforms with all tuition waivers.

By the way, Eldor, who is going to the Royal Windeilia School today, is a civilian frame, but a privileged student because of his high academic skills and force.

But in Arianne's case, it's hard to get into Royal School rather than a privileged student. Academic magic force which I find very difficult in the first place.

... I wonder if you want to go to the same place as Eldor.

If you look closely at Arianne, under her big peridot-colored eyes, a slight neighborhood is formed.

I can't have this.

Lately, my cheeks are finally plumping.

After work, I guess I'm desperately studying late.

I can easily imagine Arianne desperately reading a book I'm not sure about in the light of a little lamp so as not to wake up the lady I live with.

Huh. I sigh and put my hand on Arianne's head.

"If you study alone, you won't understand. Come to the library. Let's call Fortuna too. When Eldor returns, I'll be with him. We can all learn."

"So, so, so, so."

"But it's not. This is an order. You got it, right?

"Yes."

Slip the hand on Arianne's head into her temples.

"... take away her fatigue, Haytgesand, who leads her health to Langbehand, God of Healing... FangErsht"

From Arianne's temples to her eyes, blue and yellow light enveloped her lightly and dissolved in the sky.

"Wow, I think my vision's getting kind of brighter."

"You bet. You bet."

I removed eye fatigue and the accompanying head fatigue from it.

Even if you can't restore your eyesight, you can reduce the burden so that it doesn't get any worse.

I stroked her head again.

◇ ◇

Crisp crunch.............

In the quiet library, the sound of running a pen sounds.

Along with that, Arianne's crying voice also sounded.

"Langleys. Well, the names of the territories are messy..."

"There you go, see, you just have to remember it in the first words. 'Ja' for Jackberry territory, 'Va' for Weimar territory with Riley"

"Ugh..."

"Arianne, it's easy to remember if you don't try to remember everything at once and associate it with what you like about each territory."

"No, you can't study on this kid, can you?

Fortuna and Riley mouth their advice too, but Arianne just gets tears and doesn't seem to remember a bit.

Yeah, Riley's isn't advice, but I've already given up.

And Eldor has been running the pen unconsciously since earlier.

Although they are written on the table and back of the palm-sized paper, could it be a word book?

The pencils, as beautiful as the example, are easy to read and then carefully summarized.

That's all I'm saying.

"Nah, I've been studying for a long time now, and why don't we take a break? You've got plenty of Arianne."

"Ugh..."

"That's right."

"You have no choice."

Clean up the textbooks and notebooks and put the reference books back on the bookshelf.

Arianne's academic achievement is, to be honest, even more awkward than I imagined.

Although there are six months before the entrance exam, what a dream for a special student. Another dream, enrollment is at stake first.

"With Fortuna, you weren't in class?

"Aww, we were together..."

I was just with you, I wonder if that means we were just watching.

Reading and writing is well done, but even Jackberry schools are likely to lose momentum.

Eldor wipes the table and brews tea for the number of people.

Arianne rushed to get some tea treats.

Uh, I hope I don't fall...

"Excuse me."

"What, Sebastian?

Coming back, Arianne, what a joy she was with Sebastian.

Unusual.

Eldor is also mildly surprised in his faceless expression.

"I was about to fall, so I brought it instead"

That said, cookies can be arranged on the table in an elegantly flowing motion.

When Sebastian lined up, just cookies were brightly decorated on plates like paintings.

Eldor's just a little bit, he's going to regret it.

I wonder if you think it's still far from Sebastian, your grandfather.

I like the way Eldor lines up, too.

They put my favorite cookies in front of me.

If your favorite cookie is in the back, you can eat it from the cookie in front of you and have a full stomach, but then you can have one of your favorite cookies.

If I had eaten my favorite cookies first, I could stand the rest.

I stopped Sebastian from leaving after work.

"What should we do?

"Do you know a good glassmaker?"

"Are you an eyewear maker..."

Sebastian's grey eyes glanced at Arianne for a moment.

Arianne keeps her eyes shining on the arranged cookies, suppressing the glasses that are likely to slip off.

"Unfortunately, I don't have any idea. Sorry for not meeting your expectations"

If you'll excuse me, I'll bow to him once again.

I thought Sebastian might know about glassmakers.

Besides, even if you don't know, you're going to look for me.

Were you busy?

"You can eat Arianne too."

"Wow, today's cookies are delicious too."

"Yes, but let's eat slowly. If you cheek at the top, you'll get stuck in your throat."

"Yes ~"

"Hey, Arianne. Are you borrowing those glasses from your parents?

"No, it's my own ~?

"Why did you buy such a big one? Obviously, you're not face-width."

"It was the cheapest ~"

"If you hold it down all the time, it's hard to move. Can't you see without it at all?"

"It looks right except for the little letters ~"

"Then why don't you just take it off, except when you need it?

"If you remove it, you won't know where you put it ~"

"You're not stupid, are you?

"Ahhhh..."

"Riley, don't be too annoying Arianne"

"I'm not being harsh. You don't normally lose it, do you?

I turn a blind eye to Riley's words for consent, to me, to Eldor, and to Fortuna, even Arianne herself.

Because it's Arianne.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if I lost anything.

"Whoa, whoa, are you serious? Even if you can get into school, don't forget how to get home, okay?

"It's terrible, if you're with Fortuna, go home."

"I mean, you can't do it alone."

"Ahhh..."

Arianne, being teased by Riley, once again keeps her glasses down a lot.

Sure, every time you move, your glasses slip off, you can even get to work, right?

If Sebastian could have taught me how to make glasses that fit Arianne.

In the meantime, I'll even make you a glasses chain so you can remove it without losing it for the time being.

Even though it looks stylish, it's surprisingly easy to make.

I've always asked Eldor to buy it out, but now I'll go check it out with him.

Riley made fun of me and looked at Arianne with a bright red face, and I was thinking about the design of the glasses chain in my head.
