Even after washing my eyes again, it was -666.

 

It’s not just 666, it’s minus 666.

 

It’s too much to be minus, but the devil’s number!

 

“Oh, my.”

 

Ares smiled as if he was disappointed.

 


“I wanted to play a little more with my sister.”

 

It was a very soft voice.

 

I stared blankly at Ares.

 

Gradually, emotions of anger boiled up from the bottom.

 

When it rose to the top of my neck, I didn’t hesitate anymore.

 

“How! How could Ares do that to me!”

 

I screamed.

 

“Minus 666!”

 

Do you hate me like a devil?

 

Or do you hate me as much as the devil?

 

Am I the devil?

 

“What the heck!”

 

It was so sad.

 

“I gave Ares both my body and my heart!”

 

Sniffling.

 

“Uwa, Ares, you…”

 

Ixion wrapped himself around me as if he were protecting me when I sniffled and he looked at Ares like trash.

 

I pointed my finger at Ares, digging into the arms of Ixion.

 

“How did I raise you!”

 

“No, you didn’t raise me…”

 

“Desperate Ares! Firefox Ares! Gyeongguk-ji Ares!”

 

“Gyeong…gyeongguk-ji?”

 

(Tl: Gyeongguk-ji is an idiom meaning “beautiful enough to overthrow a country”)

 

Naturally, it was a Ropan world, so the meaning of Gyeonggukji worked.

 

Ares seemed a little embarrassed that he didn’t expect to hear such a thing, but soon he smiled with his eyes closed.

 

“T, thank you?”

 

“Aren’t I more handsome than him?”

 

Said Ixion, raising my head to my side.

 

No, you guys…

 

“It’s not a compliment! It’s a curse! Fire foxes who wanted to destroy the country!”

 

I pointed recklessly.

 

However, Ares’ smile didn’t know it would disappear, and Ixion muttered,

 

“You’re still young, but your eyesight is already bad.”

 

“Tch!”

 

I stomped my feet in anger.

 

Ixion lifted me up and now I looked like a bird kicking in the air.

 

“Put me down!”

 

“Calm down. You can faint when angry because you’re weak.”

 

“I hate Ixion!”

 

“No, you’re cruising Ares. Why do you hate me all of a sudden?”

 

“I hate you!”

 

“Okay. Don’t calm down. Just get angry. Hate Ares, not me. He’s such a bad guy.”

 

I nodded and pointed at Ares.

 

“Bad guy!”

 

“Good job.”

 

I was praised.

 

“·······This is not it.”

 

The breath entered the lungs like bubbles.

 

I see.

 

Ares hated me.

 

While smiling kindly, too.

 

My youngest sister, and his sweet voice calling me.

 

Warm hands stroking my head.

 

The moment we shared cookies and laughed.

 

Promise to go to the festival together next spring.

 

All-.

 

“Did you hate me from the beginning?”

 

“…yes.”

 

Ares, who nodded, was still smiling.

 

“Why?”

 

“…”

 

“After I don’t have magic?”

 

My throat was strangely sore.

 

I couldn’t muster the courage to face Ares, so I bowed my head.

 

It’s a strange thing.

 

I didn’t do anything wrong.

 

“Because you thought I’m an illegitimate child… not father’s daughter?”

 

Every time I spit out the word, rough sand seemed to scratch my throat instead of breathing.

 

It hurts.

 

My scratched neck and chest hurt.

 

At that time.

 

“What are you talking about?”

 

Asked Ares.

 

I raised my head.

 

Ares was looking at me with a face that he didn’t really understand.

 

“I don’t like it because you’re the blood of Paeraton.”

 

“……Huh?”

 

“If you weren’t the blood of Paeraton, I wouldn’t have to care about you.”

 

Ares’ words were not properly understood.

 

You hate me because I’m your family?

 

“Brothers are competitors. There is only one person who becomes a Paeraton’s head.”

 

I opened my mouth blankly.

 

‘……yes, I see.’

 

I can see why Ares was wary and hated me from the beginning.

 

‘Because I’m recognized as one of the Paeratons.’

 

Paeraton is the holder of the magic, and the magic is the exclusive identification of Paeraton.

 

For this reason, various questions and suspicions are bound to pour out toward me without magic.

 

The same is true even if you don’t doubt that I’m a daughter.

 

In the midst of that.

 

Is there anyone who affirms that I can be the owner of Paeraton?

 

From the moment I first saw it.

 

Even if I didn’t do anything great or show any ability, Ares recognized me as a competitor.

 

I’m not a defective product without magic.

 

I’m his sister and competitor in the same starting line, ‘It is the right line of Paeraton.’

 

That’s how you accepted me from the beginning.

 

“…”

 

I clenched my skirt tightly.

 

“If you hated me so much because I was your competitor for the next craft position…”

 

I looked up at Ares.

 

“Then what if I don’t become Ares’ opponent?”

 

Ares’ forehead frowned.

 

“You wouldn’t believe me even if I said I wasn’t interested in the housekeeper. Then if I don’t do anything and stay still, if I don’t compete or anything–”

 

His red eyes and my blue eyes met.

 

“Are you going to accept me without antagonizing me?”

 

I watched Ares’ eyes distorted without blinking.

 

“You…!”

 

“—If you say,”

 

I raised the corners of my mouth.

 

“Don’t you feel bad?”

 

Ares has become silent.

 

It was the first time that his face, which had always been smooth, had become so silly, so a smile came out.

 

“I’m relieved. Giving a shot to Ares!”

 

Ares stared blankly at me smiling.

 

“Right? You don’t feel good, do you? It’s a gain that one competitor will give up on his own. Don’t you feel bad?”

 

Ares’ face, which was gradually distorted, was worth seeing.

 

A face that has been smiling all the time.

 

Ares is a very aggressive person.

 

More than Ixion.

 

“Why do I feel bad?”

 

I smiled.

 

“That’s! Ares has already started to like me!”

 

Although it’s -666!

 

Anyway, it’s like that!

 

I’ll think like that.

 

Or, if it’s not that…….

 

I raised my head close to sagging.

 

“So be prepared!”

 

I held out my finger and shouted proudly.

 

“I can’t help but say that the original brothers are the first competitors! I’ll accept that competition!”

 

And I turned around nicely.

 

I endured my wants to keep running and walked slowly and confidently.

 

Behind me, Ares muttered,

 

“Really, w, what?”

 

At that moment.

 

“Oh, my…!”

 

Cough*, blood burst out of my mouth. Something like this.

 

[The cold hands and feet will be cured!]

 

Really?

 

Ixion ran toward me when I’m collapsing.

 

I could see Ares with a puzzled expression in my eyes before falling down in the arms of Ixion.

 

And the likes and signs next to him.

 

[-600]

 

‘Huh? Did you get more likes?’

 

[The indigestion will be solved!] 

 

[Stress is decreasing.] 

 

No, you’re the reason for my stress.

 

Don’t you know?

 

Why are you using my skills here?

 

My stress and blood pressure will go up.

 

[Stress drops!] 

 

[The increased blood pressure stabilizes!] 

 

Crap.

 

Lastly, I lost consciousness.

 

* * *

 

My head was cool.

 

Beyond being light, my body was energized as if a tiger had sprung up.

 

When Luatisha opened her eyes, I could see the letters.

 

[Quest <Powerful Power in Ordinaryness> completed] 

 

[You will get 1,000 cash as a reward]

 

Ha.

 

‘He’s really bad at distinguishing places.’

 

I was leaving without crying, but he made me vomit blood, and now I have to look at it as soon as I wake up.

 

‘Take care of your senses.’

 

Luatisha, who was sighing, felt someone’s presence next to her.

 

“Ares?”

 

I turned my head and Ares sat on the bed looking down at Luatisha.

 

His face was expressionless as usual.

 

“You’re really weak.”

 

“Yeah.”

 

Actually, I’ve gotten stronger.

 

Now that the energy of the tiger is rising, I’m more energized.

 

Luatisha lifted herself up.

 

“Why are you waking up?”

 

“I have something to do.”

 

Ares frowned on the forehead.

 

“You’re working in that state after fainting?”

 

“Yes. I don’t have magic, so I have to endure pain and work hard to compete with Ares.”

 

Hmph, you punk!

 

Luatisha’s cheeks became plump.

 

Ares was silent.

 

It was the moment Luatisha completely got out of bed.

 

“Eek!”

 

Ares grabbed Luatisha’s arm and pulled her stroke.

 

Flop!

 

Luatisha suddenly fell back on the bed.

 

Ares still looked down at her in the same position as before.

 

However, only his expression was different.

 

“……Are you angry, Ares?”

 

“That’s useless.”

 

Ares tightly covered Luatisha with a blanket.

 

[-580] 

 

Luatisha’s eyes showed favorability.

 

“I’m really not sick.”

 

“I don’t want to have an opponent who can’t take good care of his own body.”

 

Ares’ voice was crooked.

 

He’s always been sweet, but his voice is different.

 

Luatisha buried the tip of her nose under the blanket.

 

“It’s real.”

 

I’m not stubborn.

 

It really doesn’t hurt.

 

And I don’t want to be with Ares, who has changed.

 

I think I’m going to cry.

 

Ares sighed as he looked down at Luatisha.

 

[-590] 

 

His favorability went down further.

 

“What are you going to do? Manastone business? What are you going to do when you don’t have an assistant? Don’t be stubborn and say—”

 

“No.” Luatisha firmly cut off Ares’ words.

 

“I’m going to catch the traitor who participated in my abuse.”

 

Ares paused and looked at Luatisha.

 

“A traitor who communicated with Nicolas Tarenka to help him extort my child support and abuse me.”

 

His shady face and paraiba-colored eyes shined strangely clearly.

 

“I’m going to catch him and make him pay for the milk.”

 

Usually, Luatisha only looked bright and soft.

 

But now, with an expressionless face, she says she will punish someone who dared to destroy her life-.

 

‘She looks like me.’

 

It was a predator itself.

 

“……Ares?”

 

Only after Luatisha called him wondering, Ares returned to reality.

 

Ares was silent for a while before opening his mouth.

 

“I can’t let go of the traitor who ate some property off of Paeraton.”

 

“Then?”

 

“It’s a temporary alliance.”

 

“Huh?”

 

Luatisha’s face was filled with a twirling smile.

 

“That’s! Ares is already starting to like me!”

 

Ares frowned when he heard the voice of the child who shouted proudly in his head.

 

“Once again, it’s only temporary.”

 

“Yes!”

 

“And it’s not for you.”

 

“Yes, yes, you’re just cooperating because you have to catch the traitor inside, right?”

 

Luatisha smiled and responded as if she knew everything.

 

No matter how much I look at it, I think there’s a misunderstanding.

 

Ares frowned on the forehead.

 

Whether there is or there’s none, Luatisha smiled and looked at him.

 

Big shiny eyes.

 

That clean and refreshing color.

 

Ares raised his hand to cover Luatisha’s eyes.

 

“Ares?”

 

“I’m annoyed.”

 

I keep getting annoyed when I look into your eyes.

 

Even though it was a frustrating remark, the corners of Luatisha’s mouth went up.

 

“What is it?”

 

“No, no. Ares covered my eyes like this before. It reminded me of that time.”

 

“······.”

 

Ares’ hand slightly loosened its strength.

 

Luatisha’s eyes were revealed through his open fingers.

 

Ares’ face was reflected in her eyes.

 

Seeing his expression, Luatisha’s eyes shook like a blue lake.

 

Luatisha opened her mouth.

 

However, there was no word that came out.

 

Still, Ares covered Luatisha’s eyes.

 

The two looked into each other’s eyes through the small gap revealed through their fingers.

 

[-550]

 

[-580] [-530] 

 

Luatisha looked at the favorability that kept going up and down.

 

Why?


 

Ares. 

 

[-499] 

 

It looks like he’s trying to hate me? 

 

[-666] 

 

No, it’s not -666 though!
