I Became the Younger Brother of the Female Protagonist in the Novel

Chapter 28

It was the thought of Elizabeth’s first impression of Sophia.

To the point where I doubted, ‘Is it okay for such a beautiful being to exist in this world?’

Erdun stroked the hair of his daughter, who was trying to hide behind him, and then closed his eyes for a moment.

“Then, we’ll go back after saying goodbye to Kayneth Youngsik.”

“… … Yes, please.”

Sophia was a little taken aback by the fact that the Rose family was meeting Kayneth, but she turned her head and walked toward the main building.

* * *

“ha… … .”

Right after Sofia went back, the Rose family’s father and daughter visited the second annex.

At the sudden visit of the two, Keynes let out a long sigh.

Then, scratching his head, he went out to meet the Rose family’s daughter.

More precisely, it should be said that it is a send-off rather than a pick-up.

A daughter from the Rose family who came to say goodbye.

“Oh, today… … You are dying.”

Viscount Rose nodded at Keynes’ one word.

“It should be. Because I can’t stay for long. Rather… … Speaking of the academy, would it be all right if I ask you a question?”

“Yes, please.”

What question are you trying to ask?

Of course, some predictions were possible.

and… … The questions floating in Kayneth’s head came out of the mouth of Viscount Rose, Erdun.

How many credits you can get in the entrance exam, which class you will be admitted to, etc.

And at his question, Kayneth smiled bitterly.

‘You mean that Viscount Rose also values the evaluation of the academy? Well, there will be a social gaze… … .’

Nobles who value honor.

Erdun also wouldn’t want the Rose family’s royal family to be called incompetent.

but… … .

‘… … I made a mistake.’

Even as Erdun asked the question, he realized his mistake.

There were still two to three years left before Keynes entered the academy. To ask him what the results of the academy test would be like.

A question that would not have been easily answered if it had been ‘the original Keynes’.

From noble mtl dot com

Unfortunately, however, what stood in front of Erdun’s eyes was not the ‘original Keynes’.

“Whoa… … . As for the entrance exam, up to an A grade is possible in the written exam.”

Keynes let out a small sigh and answered in a calm voice.

Then, after reprimanding himself for his mistake, Erdun widened his eyes.

“… … A grade? Do you really think that is possible?”

Hearing his embarrassed voice, Kaynez nodded his head obediently.

“Yes, based on the entrance exam, an A in the written exam is quite possible. And the practical exam… … I’m sorry, but please check it yourself later.”

Kayneth’s meaningful smile.

At that, Erdun’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“… … You are hiding something.”

“That too would be difficult to say now.”

Erdun guessed that there was some kind of relationship between Sofia and Kayneth.

And he smiled at the confident look of Kayneth.

‘As expected, this guy… … . The Labadian Empire alone… … No, he was playing a scam targeting this continent.’

At that thought, Erdun inadvertently burst out laughing.

He stared intently at Kayneth as he said goodbye to his daughter.

I also thought that Keynes might be bluffing, but did he really need to?

If you enter the academy anyway, all your skills will be revealed.

After seeing Elizabeth once, Erdun gave a small smile.

‘This guy should be able to fully support Elizabeth’s back.’

Erdun, who had already nominated Elizabeth as his successor.

He worried about whether Elizabeth would be able to calmly judge the situation and manage the estate. Because in his eyes, she was always a kind and delicate daughter like an angel.

That’s why, when I was training my successor, I planned to teach it strictly… … .

‘I think that child can make up for Elizabeth’s shortcomings.’

Erdun looked forward to the day Kayneth turned 13.

What is this boy hiding?

And after a while, while talking to Kayneth, feeling jealous of her shy daughter, he said goodbye with a small growl and yanked! I turned my head and went back to my hometown.

like that… … A busy day passed in many ways, and Keynes’s routine went on as usual.

A really consistent pattern from day to day. Sharon’s class, chatting with Sofia, managing Arden, visiting the night auction house, etc.

Kayneth, who had continued to lead a mechanical life and early morning activities, asked the maids for a massage, looking tired as if he had a bone disease every time.

And the gold coins piled up one by one, and the Ardennes store that expands in an instant.

In addition, as those who handle sword skills appeared in the Ardennes Mercenary Corps, the area of activity in Ardennes expanded further.

Episode 25

25. The 2nd Annex of Count Spaiwon’s House (3)

On the morning of February 25, 1251 on the continental calendar.

My mood was crawling on the floor from early in the morning.

Seeing me like that, Sophia, who visited the second annex, also smiled bitterly.

“… … I will definitely come back during summer vacation.”

My older sister, who turned 13 this year, entered the academy at the top of her class.

A sister who was admitted with an A in the written test and an A in the practical test.

With her splendid swordsmanship, she immediately caught the attention of students and professors. In addition, as the appearance of using mana was spread through the media, it was said that there was a big uproar in the main house.

My sister was once called the incompetent child of the Spey One family, just like me. It’s just because he didn’t receive the blessing of mana.

It would be surprising to see such an older sister enrolled as an intermediate expert swordsman.

‘Well, in reality, he’s dealing with the best swordsmanship, but… … .’

Sister’s power was quite far from the original ‘Sophia H Spay One’.

Originally, by the time my sister entered the academy, she should have become an advanced expert. But not too long ago, I heard from my sister that I had reached the highest rank of expert.

It shows that they trust me 100%.

‘I’ll have to reveal everything next year… … .’

How will she accept the memory of her previous life? No, do we really need to talk about past lives?

I doubted for a moment, but with a small sigh, I saw my sister off.

‘Well, except for clashing with an apostle-level church member like Grans… … . There aren’t that many people who are capable enough to deal with my current sister.’

Over the past time, I have supplied dozens of Wiria’s holy water to my sister.

Having secured a significant amount of mana, she was able to handle powerful spirit magic more freely.

If she uses both swordsmanship and spiritism at the same time, she should be able to deal with the black magicians of the 4th and 5th circles.

“Besides, if they are together… … .”

Male protagonists with outstanding talent and good looks. If they were, they would surely be of great help to my sister.

“… … In the worst case, I can move myself.”

Now that I have become a 6th Circle, Spirit King-level magician.

Of course, I have only learned the 6th circle basic course, but compared to the advanced course and the master course, the mana efficiency and power will be considerably lacking.

Still, if you put your mind to it, it’s possible to destroy this city of Karvan within a day. under the condition that no one will strike back.

rattle.

Back in the bedroom, I sat down in front of the desk.

Then he pulled out the papers from the drawer and examined them.

“37 branches and 853 stores… … . Instants such as chicken and pizza have also started to become fashionable, and sales are rising vertically every month.”

With the advent of instant food, restaurants started to make quite loud noises.

Delicious food that can fill a meal at an affordable price and in a short time.

Someone dismissed it as bullsh*t.

However, at that moment, the restaurants operated by Arden Trading Company increased their sales day by day and expanded their scale like crazy.

Currently, the monthly sales of Ardennes are approximately 5,500 gold coins. It is an amount equivalent to 55 billion won in Korean currency.

“Hmm, the size of the mercenary corps has grown considerably.”

40% of the members of the mercenary corps were put in for the purpose of guarding the company, and the remaining 60% went on an expedition for four days a week and fought against D-C rank monsters, then returned to the headquarters and had three days of rest and reorganization time. .

The income earned by the Ardennes Mercenary Corps per month was 150 gold coins.

Certainly, it fell far short in terms of revenue.

But since they weren’t raised for profit, there shouldn’t be a big problem.

I took 30% of the net profits earned by the Ardennes Trading Company and the Mercenary Corps, and the rest of the money was operated within the organization to maintain and develop the Merchant Company and the Mercenary Corps.

“I don’t mind spending any more money.”

A total of 872 people currently belong to Ardennes. All of them were from the slums and were full members of the organization who wrote the contract with the curse of mana.

As much as they had lived a hard life, they felt great grace from me as the head of the organization, and they adapted to their current life with high loyalty.

“Well, this should be enough. There is systematic interference from other high associations, but that problem will be solved almost as soon as you enter the academy… … .”

In order to receive a hereditary title, you must try to contact the third prince, who entered the school a year before your sister.

The Labadian Empire has the largest population of 500 million on the continent. And as the third son of the emperor, the third prince who will later become independent after receiving the title of marquis.

Ryard E Labadian.

Presently, he had an estate bestowed by the emperor.

‘I take a part of the territory.’

If you reveal that you are a 5th Circle Wizard and use the recommendation ticket held by the prince… … At least he would be able to receive the title of count from viscount.

“It wouldn’t be good to reveal that you can use the magic of the 6th circle right now. No, rather… … .”

I felt like I should reconsider revealing that I was a 5th Circle mage.

A 13-year-old boy from the 5th Circle, a former king-level wizard.

“… … It would be better to reveal it with the 4th circle.”

The domestic aristocrats and the church’s checks were concerned.

I made some changes to my plan to be cautious.

While making plans for the future step by step, I looked at the names of the male protagonists my sister would meet this year one by one.

Notes taken in advance in childhood.

“really… … I can’t believe that these people exist in real life.”

As the third prince of the empire, Namjoo is bestowed with the title of Marquis 1.

A male lead who runs the largest information guild in the empire and is good at swordsmanship 2.

Namjoo, who will learn the magic of the 3rd circle at the age of 15 3.

and so on.

“… … Aren’t they all monsters with money, fame, looks, and abilities?”

Do people like this exist in real life?

Of course, as an unrealistic being, I was very reassured as my sister’s helper.

Swoop.

I flipped through one page of my notes.

The name of Kayneth H Spayone written on the next page.

On that page, the future I would experience was written.

“… … Unlike Keynes in the original story, I will be able to play the role of a helper for my sister.”

I also wondered if I was underestimating myself too much. However, for me, who had no intention of interfering greatly with the episode, a supporting role or an extra would be the best fit.

“One year from now… … .”

Before entering the academy, in order to have an economic foundation and the ability to withstand the attacks of the Death Parade, I tried to spend my days quietly in the second annex.

but… … Unfortunately, it seems difficult to have a quiet day today.

“… … .”

Like sister Sophia, a young woman with white hair and blue eyes visited the second annex.

I was sweating and running around the annex, but the moment I met her eyes, I had to stop and harden my face.

‘No way, that woman… … Is it Phyllis H Spayone, Grans’ second wife? But why are you here… … .’

It feels like I’ve seen it several times since I was born.

However, the memory was so blurry that I frowned and met her eyes for a moment.

While staring at each other as if having a snowball fight, she looked at me with wide eyes and her mouth trembled.

“K… … Ines?”

“… … .”

she called my name

I bowed my head with a cold expression and greeted him.
