Life with my Little Sister

"I don't like your mouth, you don't."

Galeos, the oldest of the four swordsmen in the building, said so to Lucan.

Lucan, you're a nobleman, so be careful how you talk.

"... you're noble, aren't you? The bad mouth will be good for us. I still treat the Marquis with respect."

Lucan laughed mockingly when he said so on his young day.

He knew.

Even lower-ranking nobles who were born as nobles and do not hold titles are embedded in the harassment identity system.

That's why the rough way of speaking was just a little bit of depression.

The noble Marquises, with only five houses in the kingdom, allowed such an unprecedented bounce.

The Marquises of Ventershoven were a good match for Lucan.

That's why I worked so hard.

To protect my place.

I want to be able to repay you even a little.

Among them were many encounters and farewells.

Many of the colleagues who found themselves and supported them died or retired.

Among them is Galeos.

"I'm not young anymore....."

The elderly colleague, who seemed to be in a good mood, laughed helplessly.

"I'm sorry, Lucan. If I were a little younger, I could still work for you and Your Highness....."

It may have been the common thoughts of the four swordsmen.

What do older colleagues say today?

"Ah, I want youthfulness....."

That's what I said.

It must have been a mere wish.

But none of the four swordsmen could laugh at being foolish.

When I look back and think about the future, it was by no means other human resources.

(I'm not even saying I'm young... If only you could return a little more strength...)

And a few years later, Lucan himself became physically uncomfortable and began to worry about retreating.

A man appeared before him.

It was a noble man with deep ties to a magical institution.

Lucan frowns on the man's words.

"Ah? I can regain my vitality...!?"

"It's the left. Developed behind closed doors, this secret medicine is a great way to empower those who take it. However, unfortunately, we cannot prepare many because the materials are extremely valuable. That's why I came here, foolishly, to be used by the famous Lukan lord as the warrior of the kingdom."

"Huh? Did you take the trouble of choosing me as your supplier of that valuable medicine?

Saying so, Lucan's eyes are like staring at me.

He did not trust the man in front of him, and he thought that the "place of worship" would be neither a place nor a place of worship.

In addition, I doubt that such a convenient medicine exists.

In the first place, this noble man is not under the umbrella of the Marquis of Ventershoven. Must belong to another faction.

Nevertheless, I'm surprised you brought the Mysterious Agent with you.

"Why do you look so scared? I brought this story to you with pure goodwill. Will you be able to fight for your home again if you return? With all due respect, Lucan's family is a nobleman without a title. If you quit your job, your earnings will be greatly reduced.

I'm worried.

Looking at his charming face, Lucan became increasingly distrustful.

(Cheng Cheng... I wonder if this guy brought this story into my family life because I'm old and weak....)

Unpleasant - it must be.

But I also thought this man's proposal was really poking at something that looked bad.

The Moon Rain today is relatively peaceful.

Speaking of great confusion, there was a "catastrophe" caused by a herd of beasts in Cyril last year.

However, it has been overthrown by the mysterious existence of the 'Mejed God'.

So Lucan himself said, "If only I had the power of the past! It was not a situation that made me lament.

In addition, I cannot say that the financial situation of his house is good, but it is not enough to say that he is being pressured. I felt reassured that I would be able to manage to live carefully.

That's why Lucan talked about the man.

This is because the odor and mistrust prevailed.

But... he thinks.

If only I wanted more power.

Or if you need money for the house.

I may have thought about asking about it.

To break that feeling, Lucan immediately kicked the man out.

At the same time, it was decided to resign early.

Because I am in my current position with a decaying body, I thought this kind of person would come to me.

It was a decision that giving up spaghetti would not bother the Marquises either.

(What if it was Galeos?)

Lucan thinks.

At the time of his death, if he had been provoked to talk about 'youth', he would have been on board.

For a moment, the old knight shook his head in an unpleasant imagination.

(Such a disloyal person cannot be in the "Four Swordsman". Galeos must have said no.)

Lucan decided to say so.

Either way, I reject it, and Galeos is already gone. At the earliest, I thought it had nothing to do with the Four Swordsmen.

That was at the beginning of February, just before Her Highness the Third Princess' apprenticeship examination was held.

"Uhh...."

"Oh, are you awake, Lucan?"

Looking up, he was sleeping in a room.

Pistolix, a younger colleague, is peeking worriedly.

Unlike Lucan, younger knights with ample hair say with a comfortable face.

"Remember what happened?

"What happened? - Oh, I see...."

Lucan gently strokes his head.

He grunted whether I had lost.

"Pistolix. What is that kid? I'm a graded magician, so I know you're good at magic. If I keep being fooled by his magic and say I lost before the magic mystery, I don't know. But his movements..."

"Yeah, that's obviously a trained leg. Not only physical strengthening, but the movement itself was a warrior that was polished out by untiring efforts."

"... that's crazy. Are you saying that you acquired that body vibration while studying magic as soon as you took up your position? Can you do that?

"It's impossible. Even if you were old, you wouldn't have enough time to reach that height. What kind of life do you say you can acquire such martial arts and magic at the same time...."

"Or are you saying you're a special genius, like that Fourth Princess?

Lucan told me to throw up.

He knows that the Marquis daughter he serves has a strong sense of inferiority towards her 'sister of the same age'. It wasn't a good idea to get rid of it with a word of "talent."

Because that child is His Highness Claudia's apprentice candidate.

I don't like people who unconsciously show their excess talents and hurt their surroundings.

Lukan's words are not "jealousy to younger people", but "I care about the princess's heart." Pistolix said with a bitter smile.

"I don't know about my age. But let's say he's not the kind of person who can take care of things."

"How can you say that?

"On the contrary, does Lucan's body hurt somewhere?

"... mmm"

That's what I noticed.

Lucan's body doesn't hurt.

There are no scratches.

The boy named Alto Cranput would say that he only used 'such magic'.

"I can't believe I've been handcuffed... I'm like this."

Pistolix realized that the words of the elderly who turned to him were a cover from the evil.

"Don't worry. If a boy were to be proud of his age and be insensitive to others, he would never allow the Prophet to approach His Highness."

…………

It was the most rewarding reason.

The Effmont Monk values Claudia above all else.

The prophet seems to be taking the initiative to place the boy next to the third princess.

"... but the most important thing is the heart of His Highness."

Can you build a good relationship with that delicate, scratch-resistant, but gentle girl?

Lucan thought that was the most important thing.

Pistolix smiles bitterly.

"Hundreds of stories are at first glance. Lukan, this way."

Wake up and gently peek into the room you were guided to.

There's the princess of this country.

(Laughing -!)

That girlish, modest, but full smile.

I was playing board games with that boy with a smile from my heart that wasn't a comedy or a love laugh.

Lucan wondered how long it would take to see her smile.

"... is that what Cyril's voice band has been spreading lately?

"Dear Left, I hear you say backgammon. - Does Lucan know that His Highness is the mastermind?

"No, I don't know. I didn't even know what His Highness liked....."

"That's the same for us. His Highness has not been able to put himself forward in recent years."

…………

Lucan saw the princess.

It was Claudia's happily wrapped appearance before Treasure Sword Ritual, when she was still smiling at others.

"Lord Lucan"

"... ah?

"We will soon be leaving our post, but we may still be able to feed His Majesty's play. There's another way to serve, right?

"Hmm. It doesn't suit my nature...."

But, the old knight murmured.

"You might want to remember how to play with Backgammon...."

― ― After completing the apprenticeship examination.

Lucan thought so.
