I Became the Villainess’s Brother

can hear bugs in the distance as she and the sun pour down.

Is it a cicada?

I feel like Higrashi's voice.

That's unusual, I thought.

It was ringing a lot in the middle of summer, though I didn't care.

Although I feel the same as when I left the outdoor shop, I guess autumn is getting closer and closer.

I looked out the window making accessories in my room.

You get tired of your eyes when you're doing fine work.

Green is said to be eye friendly, but I do feel at ease when I look into the garden of a well-maintained Duke's house.

"Why don't you take a break?"

"I think I'm resting well enough."

Eldor brewed me a cup of tea, and I breathe cheeky.

The dewstores have been successfully closed,

"You don't need me to pay for your help?!

I persuaded Rachel to say no and pay for part-time work, and to Riley, Arianne, and naturally Fortuna and Eldor, I distributed the sales properly.

We all made it.

The accessories that I put out in the outdoor store sold so well that I didn't think they would open for the first time, so it's quite a lot of money.

Guess it's because the customer's payment was in silver.

I feel a lot of extra firmness.

I don't know, I just earned enough gold coins.

I opened an outdoor store because of Arianne's tuition spreading, but I didn't expect to make so much money.

If you can make this much money every time, you may not have to get lost in the streets, even if you can't avoid the bad-end and the Duke's house collapses.

Although, of course, it's not the kind of amount you can live as a nobleman.

The average civilian life seems to work it out.

If you think so, you stick around, and you find free time, you make accessories.

Fortuna and Rachel, along with Arianne's hair decorations, may already be made.

So from Eldor, maybe he doesn't look "rested".

"Lady Langley, who starts her morning exercise, finishes each tutoring class, also sees Arianne studying, and makes more accessories, works too much"

Morning exercise is my hobby for diet and health, and tutors' classes have been around since I was a young girl, so now I can't let Arianne study anymore.

When it comes to accessories, it combines hobbies and benefits.

None of this is my job, so when I'm told I work too much, I get in a bit of trouble.

Rather, isn't Eldor what works too much?

"Hey, Eldor."

"Yes, what can I do for you"

"Are you going to take a vacation? Why don't you take a break from Eldor, just like I was on summer break?"

"Eh."

A faceless Eldor was clearly upset.

What, did I, uh, say something weird?

".......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

Eldor laughs at me like I'm in trouble.

No, I, seriously, misunderstood what?

"Erdol, I'm sorry. Um, was there a problem? I have no idea."

"No, it's nothing. I'm just saying I don't need a long vacation."

"Oh, really? I'm sorry I said something weird."

"I'm going to make you some more tea."

Eldor leaves the room seeping through something relieved in the usual faceless.

I felt my shoulders fall out because Eldor came back the same way he always did.

Without Eldor, there's nothing I can do.

Even the outdoor store is a success because almost everything Eldor has partitioned.

"Eldor, you said you don't need a rest, but when you get tired, you get a good rest. I can't do anything when Eldor falls."

"Yes, I understand. I will not fall, and I will always be on Master Langley's side."

Eldor's grey eyes seemed very happy, and I smiled when I was followed.

◇ ◇

The new semester began.

As usual, we board a high-speed demon wagon with Eldor, and we go to the Royal Windilia School in Wangdu.

I broke up with Eldor, and I joined Riley in the classroom while I went to my classroom without getting lost - and I was stunned.

Glitter, glitter.

The color-taking light is reflected indiscriminately through the classroom.

What the hell is going on?

"I let Prince Huddle and I make matching bead necklaces. Wouldn't that be great?

Humph and nose high, Lydia shows off her necklace in the middle of the classroom.

The identity of the light is the necklace.

The light that plugs through the window is reflecting on Lydia's necklace.

The necklace is probably made of glass beads, but it's big.

Instead of having a length or something, every grain of bead is big and that's double.

It sounds good when it comes to the luxurious use of color-removing beads, but the colour flavour is varied and painful to the eyes.

The claim that one grain was about the size of a gold coin was too intense, although a small grain of beads might have looked adorable.

Prince Huddle also has a puzzling grin on Nico and Lydia, who laugh in a good mood.

What the hell did you use those big beads for?

Rather sell it, its size.

At least, it wasn't the size of a grocery store in Wangdu I saw.

Couldn't it be a regular t-pin or 9-pin to support a giant bead, or it's fitted like a gem on a pedestal.

So it looks even heavier, and honestly, I don't think it's a good fit for a school uniform anyway if it's a night club or a party.

"I let the craftsmen make it special."

"It's luxurious."

"Yes, it is! It's a bead accessory that Prince Huddle likes. I thought you'd like it."

Ha-ha-ha. Lydia dyes her cheeks and laughs, but I don't think the prince likes it.

Though I wouldn't point it out in my mouth by mistake.

I don't want to rub it.

Lydia noticed me solidifying at the entrance to the classroom.

Hazel's eyes narrow wildly all the time.

"... Speaking of which, Master Langley also had bead accessories, didn't he? I'd love to show you."

Uh, is that compared to Lydia's necklace?

I think the design direction is completely different, and I haven't brought a necklace to the school in the first place.

Because you're a man, me.

I hardly wear accessories.

Eldor and his matching hat pin are stabbed in the chest pocket.

"I didn't bring a necklace to school."

"Oh, yeah. Even though you have enough to sell."

I could hear Riley tongue-in-cheek lightly at Lydia laughing as she creaked.

It's so small that I don't know if I'm next door.

Your face is smiling, but your eyes are cold.

You're really not compatible with Lydia.

I don't give a shit if they laugh at me.

"The accessories the Langleys make are really fascinating, aren't they? I also think I know what Miss Lydia would like to see. I bought it too."

With a cheeky smile, Prince Huddle touches his chest.

There, a hat pin purchased by Prince Huddle at the market the other day has been stabbed.

Fortuna is the one who made it, but I'm the one who designed it, so when they say it's attractive, my cheeks turn red.

"Ma'am, Prince Huddle has been purchased?! If that's the case, I'd like to buy it too."

"Unfortunately, the accessories that Langley makes are delicate, so I was wondering if they look like Miss Lydia's. Because the dazzling necklace that the craftsman made suits me very well."

With a smile on Lydia's face, I'd say Riley seemingly complimented you, but, uh, you hate that, don't you?

Doesn't mean Lydia doesn't look good in delicacy...

"I wonder what that means. I don't think I have enough delicacy."

Lydia also seemed to notice an aversion, squeezing the fan tightly.

One-touch instant.

An invisible spark splashes between Riley and Lydia, and Prince Huddle anxiously wanders his gaze.

"Lydia, don't do that around here. It's time you had a teacher."

I wonder when he was coming to class.

Shreddy broke in between Riley and Lydia.

"So, but..."

"Whether it's a big swing or a small one, people will have their own good accessories. But, you know, I don't think your accessories are good for school, do you?

"Damn, this is for the best craftsmen in Windilia..."

"Technology is, yes, it must be the best. But you remember? The Windilia School will not allow you to carry too much ornament."

"Ah..."

Shreddy points it out calmly, and I remember it too.

Yes, it was.

It's forbidden by school rules.

I forgot crisp because I don't usually wear accessories.

Even though all noble ladies are dressed in jewellery, the teacher can't get through it when the light flashes all over the classroom on boulders.

"I hope you remembered. I think you should treat him and put him down before he gets here, huh?

Lydia stares at us with regret, removes her necklace and puts her in the bag.

No, I didn't do anything.

"Call Andy next time and I'll see you for tea."

I heard Riley whisper softly in Shreddy's ear.
