Next Life

My brother Sieg is his next successor, and my sister has already begun to be a comparable force to Aulanis.

"So what the hell am I supposed to do?

Fried was troubled.

What a mediocre thing to be compared to a brother who established himself as a successor, a sister who can only say anything about his earliest great father and stepmother.

(What am I supposed to do?)

His troubles were quite serious.

Everyone assists their father or brother and says that's fine if they can take care of their sister, but he's not convinced himself.

What should I do?

(Honestly, I don't think there's that much difference between you and my brother...)

He rushes to deny it because he thinks so.

I'm close with my brother, and I love him.

I feel shallow and embarrassed when I think for a moment about something that would disparage that brother.

Stuffed he read through the books in the castle.

It was Nergal who realised how he was doing.

She went to talk to her favorite father.

"Something wrong with Fried?

"Yeah. I feel like I'm nagging something. Father, can you handle this?

Marius answers her daughter's question with a serious face.

"I'd like to do something about it, but can I fix it?

"Your father would have solved everything."

Believe me, I don't doubt it. While I feel heavy on my daughter's smile, he goes to see how Fried is doing.

Fried, who was reading the book, rounds his eyes to the appearance of his unexpected father.

"Father, why...?

"Nell's guy seems to be worried about you, so he wants me to talk to him."

"He..."

Fried is pleased with Nergal's care.

At the same time, I felt sorry for myself because I was inferior to my sister.

"Ji, actually..."

Fried speaks without wrapping his feelings around.

I feel sorry for my great father opponent, but I didn't feel ashamed to say anything because he was a great father.

"Right."

"Oh, I'm sorry. Father, I am also your father's child."

"Why apologize?

Marius makes a strange voice all the time.

"Why..."

Fried distorts his expression in such a way that he wonders if he can understand his misery.

Put your hand on such a son's shoulder, Marius says gently.

"Look, Fried. I wanted a son. I didn't want a proud son."

"... Huh?

Freed should be decent.

gently stroking his son's head, he says.

"You're fine. There is no need to compare it to Sieg or Nergal. My father would be happy if he grew up well."

"Ugh, yeah."

Fried leaned down.

Slowly my father's words crept into my heart.

Something hot was about to spill out of my eyes.

Marius talks even more while pretending not to notice it.

"Oh, brothers, if you can, make up for it properly, even if we fight"

"Ugh, yeah......"

Fried's voice was tearing.

As Marius leaves the library, he encounters Nergal and Sieg, who seem worried.

"Now you're gonna have to do it alone"

"Yeah."

The two snort honestly at my father's words.

Nergal opened his mouth after walking out for a while.

"Hey, Dad, what were you talking about?

Sieg said in his face, "No, don't," but it won't tell her.

Marius laughs and teaches.

"The three brothers are close, and even if we fight, I want them to make up for it."

"I'm not fighting, hey, brother Sieg?

Sieg, told by his sister, turns a blind eye when he doesn't seem confident.

"Not with you, but maybe with Fried."

"Oh, really?

Nell shall be decent.

She hasn't had a fight with anyone other than Aulanis yet.

Naturally, I wasn't aware of him.

"... Could Nell, be off the hook?

She puts on her little neck.

The expression seemed a little uneasy, so Marius gently did her hair.

"It's not. They're just not the kind of guys who get annoyed by their older away sister opponents. I mean, you two are so cute."

"... Really?

Nell looked at Sieg.

That's not how he thought it would be, but he couldn't let it smash the care of his father because of it, and the boy snorted and nodded as he gritted.

"Wow."

Nell immediately regains his energy and smiles innocently.
