I haven't been alone with your brother in a long time while your mother and Nervia went to work in the village after lunch.

When I was hubbed by everyone in the village, it was okay, but as soon as it was gone, your brother lost his temper again, so I've been waiting for these opportunities.

I just rubbed over here to my brother and talked to him at Angel Smile.

"Oh, honey, what are you doing with everyone?

"Huh? Uh, yeah... on the other hand, I haven't done much"

When your brother turned a blind eye to my question, he returned an answer that somehow got no guidelines.

To that response, I am shocked.

Oh... my brother hid it from me...

I turned away, disguised as a wind that was nothing, "Heh, heh... yeah..." when I was enlightened of the upset.

That moment brought back an abominable memory of my previous life in the back of my brain.

A lifetime that no one needed, loved, couldn't get help, and ended up lonely and overworked.

Did I do something to your brother...? Could it be something, angry?

... my family... hated me?

Yes, no, no! Because we're still family, because we're brothers, we don't teach everything!

Besides, that's not how you want to know what your brother's playing at?

As part of a little topic offering, I just casually asked.

Even to me, I have one or two or a hundred of things I keep secret from your brother.

So it's nothing, not at all, like I care...

"Wow, I get it! I can tell! So don't look like that!!

When your brother said that, he caressed my head gently.

That, I'm not mad...? Don't you hate me?

"Eh, eh... yay"

I break the joy less, reflecting a little on what has made me suspicious of my family.

Then your brother sighed in whining, "I knew Sefi was ka-chan-like..."

Oh, what does that mean? I'm not that hard, am I?

Or I'm not going to have that awful look on my face at all.

No, then your brother must have wanted to teach me too. I'm sure it is.

That's not honest at all, bro. This one.

When your brother sighed deeply again, he turned away looking a little illuminated and said in a small voice.

"... it's all right."

"Chivalrous?"

Are you talking about little pieces of me beating each other with a stick or something?

Is that the mainstream child play in this world? Hide-and-seek is more fun, though.

As I looked at your brother's side in wonder, your brother glanced at my face with a flickering glance,

"... Sefi can't grab the mahogany..."

Magic? Because I use magic?

For a moment, I didn't know what your brother was talking about, but I pinned it right away.

Your brother doesn't want me to be a magician.

Because even minors can be driven out to war if they become magicians.

Your brother has promised your father that he will protect me and your mother.

And your father says we'll end the war before we grow up, but we don't know what will happen.

So I guess your brother is also looking at fighting slowly as a soldier.

Maybe I'm supposed to be on the battlefield then too.

So, to keep my promise to your father, I'll have as much power to keep me even on the battlefield...... you mean?

With that said, your brother started playing outside just about a month ago...

That's when I first used magic...

Huh?

Huh?

"Hey, what's with the approximate face! Don't make fun of me! If you have something to say, say it!

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

When I raised my voice without suppressing the joy, I dived straight into your brother's chest.

Your brother said, "Oh, hey, come on, you idiot!" or something, "but of course I don't have ears to ask.

I'm sorry, brother! I'm sorry I doubted my family ties even for a moment!

I'll do my best to protect your brother, too! So be my knight someday!!

Afterwards, I stuck with your brother until your mother came home to see how we were doing.

Your brother was a little loose with dead eyes, but he must have been happy.

And your mother, who saw us get along like that, was swelling her cheeks.

... Is that it? There shouldn't be anybody around me of that type, but somehow I have a vestigial feeling...?

Where did you see it? I feel like a very familiar place...

Is that you, brother? What are those eyes? Why are you looking at me?
