I’ll Become a Villainess That Will Go Down in History
407 Cather Liz, twenty years old
"Oh, Liz?? Welcome back!!"
When she returned to the town and opened the door of her parents' house, her mother rushed down to me with a puffy expression on her face.
Fluffy notes of my favorite sweet cinnamon.
I feel relieved when I see your face. But you can't expose everything anymore. Don't make her worry.
Now, I know that the Magic Academy and the Royal Palace have a hard time. Sometimes it's not the case that I'm going home recklessly. Still, I only wanted a day today to calm my mind.
If you don't, I'll be in trouble. The Holy Maiden must not show the dark parts.
One step out of here and I have to live as a saint. I'm about to be crushed by such pressure from time to time. I will never be able to return as a baker's daughter again, but today I just wanted to escape from my role as a "saintly lady".
Mom hugs me vigorously, then leans her head slightly and looks at me worried.
What's going on?
"No, nothing!" It's been a long time since I wanted to eat my mother's bread! "
I lie with a smile on my face to a mother who knows nothing.
I'm about to graduate from the School of Magic. I, the Holy Maiden, shall be less free than I am now.
Before that, I wanted to see my mother's face. I wanted to go back to this place where I could be just a girl.
When I'm here, I can go back to being a normal girl. You can throw away the title of Holy Maiden.
With that in mind, I step into the comfort of my familiar home.
The bread will be baked soon!
She sings her song happily as she walks toward the kitchen.
"I can't believe you're so happy that I'm back..."
"My dad is almost home! He's going to buy me some ingredients to make a raspberry pie!" I'm sure she'd be very happy to know that Liz is back. "
I heard my mother's loud voice coming from the kitchen.
The words inadvertently spill a smile. I realize that I have grown up in love.
I thought it would be nice to stay in this warm house all the time...
At some point, I was living a completely different life. It was the happiest and most irresistible treasure for me to meet Duke and everyone else. I'm sure that won't change until I die.
But I suddenly thought about it. If I were a girl with no abilities.
I can't say this even if my mouth is broken in front of everyone, but I'm happy to be able to be "normal". Every mortal yearns for something special, and every genius yearns for nothing.
No, Liz!!
I can't be depressed like this! I came back here to cheer myself up!
I'll go to my room ~!
"Ah, now Liz's room is...!"
I couldn't hear what my mother had said. I rushed to my room.
When I opened the door, it was a room I didn't know about.
There was no bed with my floral futon or light pink desk, and it was no longer in the girl's room. Room for a little boy to play.
A cute little boy with brown hair enters the line of sight.
... I don't think my brother is here.
"Liz! I'm sorry! I forgot to explain!"
My mother came to me in a hurry. I can't understand the situation and remain in eye contact with the little boy.
Mother walks into the room and hugs the little boy. He is holding a small stuffed bear in his arms.
When I was little, you liked rabbit stuffed animals.
I waited for the words that came out of my mother's mouth while thinking about it.
"This is Max." I talked to my dad and decided to adopt him. I'm sorry I didn't ask Liz. I just missed the time to tell you that I'm busy. "
Mom seems sorry, but she explains it in a hurry somewhere.
Don't look at me like that. "Even though I'm not angry..." I'm glad my brother can do it.
"Blood is not connected, but Max is our family."
... but when I look at my mother with such a happy expression, it makes me feel a little complicated.
Looking at him familiar here, it feels like I've lost my place without my knowledge.
"I took it in as a baby and Max will be three years old this year. I'm talking to her about Liz. When I knew that Liz was a special girl, I suddenly enrolled in magic school, and my mother and father were very lonely... It doesn't change that Liz is a precious daughter to us. But I can't stand it if I don't think I'll ever come back again....."
I can understand what your mother wants to say. I know with my head.
Mother adds to me that there is nothing to say.
"Since I adopted Max, I feel a little relieved." This bakery is popular in town, isn't it? That's why I can continue this bakery with him. "
I was slightly irritated by my mother, who spoke happily as she stared at Max.
"You can't have this feeling..."
I, the Holy Maiden, can never reject him. Don't let your parents know about the black part.
I didn't come back here for about five years. I barely contacted her either.
That is why we must accept this situation. You must accept your brother with a joyous smile.
"Sure enough, we need a trailblazer son to keep this bakery going!" Besides, I'm so happy to have such a cute little brother! "
I make a bright voice. Gently approach Max and introduce yourself.
"It's Liz, your sister. Nice to meet you, Max."
I wonder if I'm pretty laughing when I see those pure and innocent eyes...
With a gentle grip on Max's small hand, I realized that I no longer belonged in this house.
