Chapter 83. Siblings of the Pernil family (5)

“And it’s not just you and Asha who are fighting.”

I spread two fingers.

“I’m sorry if the person involved is excluded. I'm going to have your brother and our side of Iret go head to head.”

Both of them were speechless and startled by my proposal.

Let's mess up the board and build a sandcastle on it.

I wrote down the 1st item in my specialty section about being forced.

Remember, I'm a pushover.

Arrel is a brat.

“For concessions, we have to win both Asha and Aired to count as a winner. Even if only one of you wins, I'll treat you as a winner.”

In a way, it is too much of a disadvantage for us.

“I promise you in my name.”

As long as the name of the royal family is at stake, it can never be violated.

“how is it? Do you feel like doing it now?”

“…I will accept it.”

He finally agreed.

There is a possibility of resolving the food shortage in the hometown, putting aside dating among the children.

You can't resist biting this bait.

“So, there’s nothing wrong with it?”

So, in the meantime, the bet was established.

The opinion of Asha, who was flustered next to me, was completely neglected.

Remembering Asha's face at that time, I raised my thumb.

“No problem. You just have to win.”

“It's not that kind of problem.... She

came to see her younger brother and suddenly got into a fight with the academy's swordsmanship instructor, and she felt unfair.

From her point of view, it must be a confusing day to the extent that she doesn't know what kind of misfortune she has.

That also makes me feel a little bit bitter.

Originally, I didn't mean to let you spend a day like this.

“Well, you know I was a little forced, right? But, Asha. Did you really not care if the board was arranged like that at that time?”

I looked at her seriously and continued.

“He laughed at your family. You totally ignored your little brother. Can I just pass it over?”

“That… it can’t be. But I am Arel's escort. I can’t ignore that and act on my personal feelings alone.”

“So you have to be more confident.”

I smiled bitterly and put my hand on Asha's shoulder.

“By ignoring my escort, you went further and disregarded my discernment in choosing that escort. Then I can't just pass it on.”

“yes'?”

“huh. To be honest, I was pissed off too.”

Frankly, I was a little annoyed.

I was hoping to watch the moment when the two siblings reunite happily...

What is this?

If you curse at me, I won't let you go, but if you curse at someone close to me, I won't let you go.

However, this is a matter of personal pride, so it cannot go as far as blaspheming the royal family.

If I insist on going there, I will become a madman.

That's why I deliberately messed up the board and increased the work.

It creates a place for my escort to run amok.

“And it's been a long time since I've been in front of my younger brother.

Show me what a wonderful knight you are.”

I winked and said confidently.

And he added in a low voice so that only Asha could hear.

“....just humiliate them.”

When I said that, Asha laughed bitterly.

Seeing that she didn't say she couldn't bear it, she must have been very angry.

In the end, the duel in question was decided to be held at the gymnasium on the east side of the academy site.

As long as I suggested it, there is no one to stop anyone now.

The dean was in trouble, but when I gave him another ointment, he shut up.

“That’s what happened, so try your best.”

And I explained the general situation to Aimet before the start of the duel.

It's not too much time, so I said it right away.

Now that you've done this, you can beat that cheeky kid in public.

“swarm! It’s impossible!!”

Unsurprisingly, the feeble-minded boy reacted almost fainting.

“How can I beat him!”

“How? Just hit it right in the face with a wooden sword. Then you win.”

Is there anything wrong with kids fighting?

If you and I stab each other with a wooden sword and beat each other, we win.

I laugh and joke, but the boy's complexion only grows bluer.

At first, I gave my sister a hopeful look, wondering if I was joking.

“sister? Really?”

“It's true.”

Asha shook her head.

However, unlike Eyelet, Asha doesn't show such a disturbed atmosphere now.

I feel like I've given up halfway now.

It's not like I'm fickle for a day or two.

I've been with her for about 2 years, so it's normal for her to adapt.

In the first place, I'm not worried about Asha.

Then the problem is this cute boy here.

“Asha, can you stay out for a minute? Men have something to talk about.”

“...Please don't push yourself too hard.”

Asha smiled bitterly and meekly moved away.

I think you've figured out roughly what I'm going to say.

“Okay then. Shall we talk about something serious now?”

I crouched down and met Eyelet's eyes.

“Aye Met.”

“Yes four!?”

“Are you really going to be okay like this?”

When I asked seriously without a hint of laughter, the boy couldn't bear to say anything.

“Tell me honestly. The Luchen family must have been fighting with you ever since. isn't it?”

I can't bear to say no.

“Simply, that kid must have missed you quite a bit. The girl you like will always want to be with you. Originally, humans are purely creatures who do not see the way others do well.”

What kind of life lecture am I giving in front of a kid? It's funny to myself, but I still have to say this.

“Honestly, I’m pissed off. huh? My family is still having a hard time. There are guys who keep poking around with it.”

The boy makes a small fist.

“I'm also... not that I'm not resentful.”

the boy said weakly.

“My father passed away before I entered the railroad, and my sister struggled to continue the family. .... So I also wanted to build up my skills to raise my family again as soon as possible.

So I can't act immature.”

“Is that so?”

Yeah... that's it.

will be enough

“But when will I get out of that situation? What if you study hard and graduate?

What if I train hard and get stronger?”

I shook my head.

The world doesn't run that smoothly. by the way

“It's too late to make up your mind then.

If you want to decide the path of life from ancient times, you have to decide quickly. And don't belittle it.”

This advice comes from my experience.

If you always promise the future and try to shrink, only time will pass.

“Show them this opportunity.

Your family is not dead. Anything can be strong. I'll give you a chance.”

All you have to do is show them right here that you are a rice cake that has the potential to become you.

“It's your chance to reassure your concerned sister and show a good side to the girl you have a crush on.”

“Yeah, but how can I…

“I can do it. No one else, I guarantee it.”

At least I don't make losing bets.

What if you feel like losing?

gotta make it win

“And be honest. You don't hate that Karet family girl, do you?”

When I patted my shoulder and asked a small question, Iret blushed slightly and did not answer.

Even though he probably doesn't like it, the fact that he can't give the lady a proper answer is proof that he is thinking about it himself.

“Live a little honestly. Of course, if you act blindly and frankly, you will usually destroy yourself.”

Reality is always cruel.

“But can I tell you one good thing?”

Apparently this boy didn't realize that.

So kindly let me know.

I smiled as I put my hand on Iret's head and stroked it.

“The one who looks after you now is the youngest prince.”

One of the children of the best family in the kingdom.

“..!!”

Iret opened her eyes as if she had realized the truth.

Yes, no one will say anything no matter what you do now.

Don't think that an opportunity like today will seldom come.

“Then now, I will teach you a plan for you, Airett, to perform well.”

I put Iret in her ear and taught her how I had devised it.

A duel is a cool word, but in reality there is nothing more savage than this.

It's an act of beating you up or killing you in front of others under mutual agreement.

Bored aristocrats come out in droves to watch someone do a duel.

One of the funniest things in the world is violence and bloodshed.

Originally, watching someone else's house fighting and watching a fight is the most fun.

That's why, when someone says they're going to duel, rumors spread all over the place.

For that reason, not only students but also professors came out in droves.

No, why don't you put the kids aside and keep the older ones a little more uptight?

Stunned, I sat down in the best seat to watch.

And in the middle of the gymnasium, the boy of the Luchen family and Iret are standing with wooden swords at each other.

It's a duel between stubborn boys.

Everyone is watching with the feeling that this is some kid's joke.

In the first place, no one thought that Iret would win.

The reason is the difference in age and height.

I've heard that a little boy named Gafen is two years older than Iret.

It's a fight that takes place at the level of boys of that age, so in the end the guy with the better physique will win.

The difference is quite catastrophic.

Gadel himself seemed terribly reluctant, probably thinking that there was no answer at first glance.

“No matter how you think about this, it’s not!”

In the middle of our seats, not the product of the day... but Heia, a girl who loves eyelets.

“Arel! Please dry it right now!”

“don't worry. Iret wins anyway.”

“Aimat has no sword talent!”

Judging by her assertion, it seems that she already has a good understanding of Eyelet.

Actually, that's what I see.

Academics would be more appropriate than swords.

“Well, I’d like to praise you for seeing people properly, but you don’t even know what to do yet.”

“to?”

“It doesn’t matter if you win or lose, it’s your talent. The important thing is...

what I'm going to say, this little girl looks up at me and wants to hear clearly.

“It’s a trick.”

“…what does that mean?”

That's right, it's the face you didn't quite understand.

This girl is still naive.

Don't worry. You'll replace out in just 5 minutes.

“Don’t worry, Iret. In the first place, it's a man's instinct to want to show a little bit of a plausible side to a girl, right? So, at times like these, I encourage and at least cheer for them.”

“...I don't think that's the case.”

Heia tilted her head.

“But why are you interested in Aimat? If it's simply a household chore, the kid over there is better.”

When I asked because I was curious for a moment to change the subject, Heia acted like a young girl of her age and looked embarrassed.

“That's cute.”

“huh?”

“A cute face that makes you cry if you put it next to you. Wouldn’t you like to stick it aside and poke it and watch it?”

“???? what?”

“Does Arel-nim think so too?”

Saying that, the girl put her hand on her cheek and smiled lovingly.

It was... too much to be the smile of a thirteen-year-old girl

.

Yes, something of the same kind as me...

came like static electricity!

The nature of something that starts with D.

Maybe that's why this girl favors Iret... maybe?
