Bullied but Popular

93 – Let’s play

Simon stiffened his expression and spoke in a cold voice.

“What you just said… Are you sure you won’t regret it?”

“Tell me again?”

At the full voice of Aren’s enemy, Simon changed his plan.

‘I can’t go out forcibly.’

Usually, when the imperial family threatens in this way, even the most high-ranking aristocrats shut up.

However, Aren did not appear to be intimidated by his words, whether it was because of the anger of his family or because he was still young.

Rather, they gave off a nuance that it would be nice to have attacked them.

‘I can’t.’

Simon said, suppressing his spirit.

“What are the conditions?”

“One hundred thousand gold.”

“…!?”

“what!?”

At Aren’s words, Kun opened his eyes and shouted.

“This XXXX! I know how much that is…!”

“Is it at the national budget level?”

Aren spoke eloquently.

“In the first place, the original video is not mine~ Teacher Tristan, of course, knows someone who has several more. By what authority do I delete those people’s videos? Of course, that amount of money is necessary~”

“Don’t talk nonsense!!”

“I’m speechless.”

Unlike Kun, who shouted, Simon spoke in a calm voice.

“That video doesn’t have that much value. I’m sure you know that?”

“That’s right, not so much if the time isn’t now. Thankfully, your brother is an idiot, so he doesn’t know.”

“This bastard!”

Hearing Aren’s words, Kun steps forward and shouts.

“You dare to be arrogant in front of us with just one video? Do you really want to die!!”

“If you don’t like it, don’t buy it. Why are you screaming?

Kun’s eyes roll at Aren’s provocation.

“Kill me…!!”

“Kun Gia Raid.”

“…!?”

Kun, who was about to rush at him, stopped moving at Simon’s low voice.

“Are you… ignoring me?”

“Oh no…”

“Stay still?”

“… uh.”

‘It’s unexpected.’

After hearing the conversation between Kuhn and Simon, Aren knew that their relationship was stronger than expected.

No matter how much Simon is the older brother, I thought Kun would not listen to him properly due to his personality, but he was surprisingly caught up in his life.

‘The real thing is Prince Simon.’

Just looking at their relationship seemed to indicate Simon’s location.

At that time, Simon, who warned Kun, looked at Aren again and said.

“Other conditions.”

From noble mtl dot com

“doesn’t exist.”

“Do you really think we’re going to pay that amount?”

“No, not at all.”

‘I had no intention of making a deal from the beginning.’

It seems that Aren and Tristan had no intention of deleting the video or letting them stay here.

Simon took a deep breath and pulled out a small bag from his chest.

Then he hands it over to Rai and says.

“There will be 30,000 gold.”

“Uh, yup!”

“older brother!?”

Rai’s hands trembled at such a large sum.

Simon bowed his head to Rai and said.

“I’m sorry Lai. My brother did something really bad to you.”

“Ah… over there.”

“I want you to forgive me just once. Then I’ll do my best to make sure this doesn’t happen again.”

‘Look at this guy?’

It seems that Aren decided to attack Rai because it was not possible.

Besides, 30,000 gold was a huge amount.

When he apologized over that amount, Rai became restless.

“That… older brother.”

“lie.”

As Rai searches for Aren, Simon steals his gaze again.

“Please forgive me just once. I don’t want to leave that video in our imperial family if possible. So…”

“You’re doing all sorts of things.”

Unheard of, Aren interrupts Simon’s words.

“They do so many different things to a child. They’re the older brother and the younger brother.”

“Is there anything special? The conversation doesn’t work, so I’ll try to make it work.”

At the tearful efforts of the royal family, Aren said sarcastically.

“What kind of order did you come out so desperately for? That idiot is saying that he is the second child, but does he have any other purpose?”

“.. you suddenly say something different.”

‘Is it a bit late?’

It really seems to have a different purpose, but I won’t be able to figure it out here anyway.

Aren changed the topic.

“It’s okay, so why don’t you go back quietly? You know there’s no one here to welcome you, right?”

“What will our face be if we go back as soon as we arrive? It’s really too much to apologize this far.”

Aren took Rai’s bag and held it out to Simon.

“The remaining 70,000 gold.”

“It’s impossible in my line.”

“Then take this and go back.”

“The story is parallel. How are you going to delete the video?”

After listening for a while, Tristan said.

“Kun Giaraid, will you stay still?”

“huh?”

“Don’t you know who’s responsible for this situation? I want you to show some of the confidence you had when I first saw you. If you’re such a proud royal family, would you do something? But, aren’t you just a kid with a mouth?”

Tristan’s words crumpled Kun’s face.

‘It’s a provocation.’

Simon saw through Tristan’s intentions at once.

As if they really had no intention of accepting themselves, they were partially provoking and inducing Kun to make a mistake.

“Kun. Don’t open your mouth.”

“……”

“Poop, I’m listening to you~”

cuggit

At Aren’s provocation, Kuhn’s expression crumples even more.

Simon also hardened his expression and said.

“I would have told you to do it in moderation.”

“Do this.”

Aren rose from his seat and pointed to Kun.

“This fool and I duel.”

“what?”

“oh!”

At Aren’s words, Simon gave a blank expression as if he did not understand, and on the contrary, Kuhn exclaimed as if he was well.

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“Why? I heard that there were many matches like this in Kia Raid?”

Aren calmly continued to elaborate.

“If I win, please get out of my country.”

“What if we win?”

Kuhn laughs and says.

Aren also smiled and said,

“Destroy the video.”

If only the video is destroyed, they will have no reason to leave.

Simon’s gaze turns to Tristan.

“……”

‘… are you serious?’

When Tristan, the owner of the video, remained still, Simon looked at Aren with a blank gaze in disbelief.

“Can you really do that?”

“Yes, especially the damage compensation will be treated as 30,000 gold.”

“……”

30,000 gold was also handed over to destroy the video, but it’s not a bad situation as long as you win the duel.

“Are you thinking of calling an agent?”

“No, I will fight.”

“Kun, accept it.”

“Good~!”

As if waiting for Simon’s words, Kun shouted.

Then he looks at Aren with mad eyes.

“hehehe, now that I see it, I like you a little bit~ You have such good thoughts, I like your personality? Please take care of me~?”

“Do you like me?

“… ha ha ha.”

As if Aren’s provocation worked again, Kun’s laughter is heard bleakly.

“… What is the date?”

“Let’s do it tomorrow.”

“Hoo.”

At Aren’s words, Kun’s gaze turns to Aren’s wounds.

“Can you fight with that wound? Don’t make excuses after losing~ Can you wait a little longer?”

Aren ignored Qun’s words and spoke to Simon.

“I’ll join you tomorrow at lunchtime.”

“i get it.”

“……”

When Aren ignores him and tells Simon, Kuhn’s temper stirs once again.

But this time, he didn’t react harshly, just glared at him, and Aren spoke calmly.

“Did you learn magic? Lights come out of your eyes? My eyes were so hot that I almost flew my fist.”

“…Really be prepared.”

Kun kept repeating the same words as if he were swearing.

“Really… Really, prepare your heart and come. I will kill you for real… Don’t regret it.”

“You talk too much.”

Aren lay calmly on the bed despite Kun’s bloody voice and looked at him as if wondering what to do.

Seeing that, Simon said just before Kun exploded.

“Kun, come out.”

“……”

Even at Simon’s words, Kun did not move and glared at Aren.

At that, Aren calmly covered the blanket and stared at Kun.

“Are you dueling?”

“Yeah, I did tell you, but it’s going to be informal, so don’t tell anyone.”

Over time, the number of people in Aren’s hospital room has completely changed.

Simon, Kun, and Tristan went back, and instead, Tia, Cecilia, and Frey came to Aren’s hospital room to play.

After hearing Aren’s words, Tia said as if she was worried.

“Are you okay? Your wound hasn’t healed yet?”

“are you okay.”

Aren said calmly, but Tia continued to say if she was worried.

“Hey, the opponent is from the gear raid history. It’s completely different from a normal soldier. Even if it’s you, this time it’s really…”

Tia stopped talking.

This is because Aren looked towards Rai with his eyes and signaled to stop.

‘Ah, dear.’

Tia’s words seemed to make Lai feel anxious, and his expression showed nervousness.

Seeing this, Tia also became restless, so Aren sighed and said to Rai.

“Would you like to see it too?”

“yes?”

“Would you like to see my brother duel?”

“Aren! Are you crazy!?”

At Aren’s words, Tia shouted like a flagship.

“Hey! What about the kid…!”

“I’ll see you!”

When Tia spoke negatively, Rai interrupted and shouted.

“I want to see my brother’s duel too!”

“Okay then.”

“hey!!”

Tia shouts like she’s really upset.

“What are you thinking!? This duel is different from an exchange battle! If you do it wrong, Rai will be traumatized!”

“Sister! I’ll see you!”

“You’re not quiet!”

As Tia’s excitement intensified, her voice boomed in the hospital room.

As the voices of the two grow louder, Frey speaks.

“Please calm down~ Did you forget that this is a hospital room?

“Prey sister! Didn’t you hear what these idiots are saying!?”

“Ah~ It’s noisy. A child’s voice is amazing. More than that, Aren.”

“yes?”

When Frey suddenly calls, Aren’s gaze turns to her.

And Frey’s happy smile caught his eye.

“How much did you earn?”

“… Thirty thousand gold.”

At that huge amount, Frey blushes like a virgin who has received a confession.

“Huh, younger brother~ You know that this older sister copied the video~?”

“Keuug, I was going to give it to you.”

Aren groans in agony at Frey’s words.

Seeing these two, Tia is dumbfounded and raises her voice again.

“These humans are real! That’s the problem now!!”

“Aren.”

This time, Cecilia spoke in a serious voice.

“Kun Giaraid, strong.”

“know.”

“… it’s too dangerous.”

At Cecilia’s words, Tia and Rai’s expressions hardened even more seriously.

Since she doesn’t usually say empty words, the weight of her words was different.

“What does Kun look like from your sister’s point of view?”

“… One step left until Auror Master.”

“…… Hey, Aren. Let’s quit this time, huh? You’re really in trouble.”

Doing something wrong really cost Aren’s life.

Tia said in a desperate voice.

“Let’s just delete the video. Huh? And what’s the big deal if they stay here? Right now, their country is at war, and if they have an idea, they’re not going to stay calm. Huh?”

“Oh~ Tia, I felt the earnestness~”

Tia’s eyes sharpen at Frey’s mischievous tone.

“Prey sister, I’m not kidding.”

“Hmm~ Yes, it’s definitely a dangerous situation, right? The wound hasn’t healed at all, and the opponent is the royal family of the strongest nation, Gia Reid. But Aren asked for a duel first. Isn’t it because he had an idea?”

Everyone’s eyes turned to Aren at Frey’s words.

Aren shrugged his shoulders and said.

“No, isn’t there?”

“what?”

“I just challenged him to a duel because I wanted to beat him. Even Miss Tristan said he didn’t like that bastard until he died.”

“this……”

Tia gets angry and shouts.

“You madman!!!”
