Chapter 40 (1/2)

Ares has recognized me as a competitor fighting for the next Duke Paeraton since he first saw me.

That means that I am recognized as a member of the family.

‘But why can’t the quest be completed?’

I was lost in thought.

How many more times did the sound of her pecking cookies sound?

“Oh, I see.”

For Ares, I am not a member of the family, but I have to be removed from the family to get more chances.

When Ares becomes Duke Paeraton, there is no place in the family.

In the future he draws, I’m not part of the family.

“….”

You hate me as much as -444, so I can’t tell.

Still-.

At that time, a warm and soft feeling brushed my palm.

Hermes tweet was rubbing his small hair on the palm of my hand.

“Hermes?”

“If we meet three more times, I’ll tell you my nickname, tweet!”

Are you comforting me?

“tweet, it’s not that I don’t allow you because I don’t like you, tweet! It’s just too early!”

“You want to wait a little.”

“They said I shouldn’t look too easy!”

What did they teach the bird?

But thanks to that, I laughed.

‘…….Ares doesn’t have a real family.’

Having no family at all.

Even if you do, you close the door and refuse.

Either side is sad.

Then, the door suddenly opened.

“What are you doing?”

“Ixion!”

I jumped up and ran to Ixion and held his hand.

“Family is a good thing, right?”

“Suddenly what·····.”

“Right, it’s good, right? It’s good for Ixion, right?”

Ixion looked down at me.

He turned his eyes and said,

“Oh man, really. Why would I….”

He muttered, but eventually nodded.

“·····Go, good.”

“Ixion, your ears are red.”

“It’s not red!”

“Are you ashamed?”

“You’re not cute.” “

“You’re really!”

Ixion shouted loudly but did not let go of the hand I held.

Hehe.

It’s so much fun to tease him.

“More than that, you said you have a favorite bread.”

“…”

The corner of my mouth, which had risen to the fullest, went down at once.

“Why is veryone’s going crazy about that.”

“······.”

“No matter how much I asked, you didn’t tell me what bread it was.”

I can’t tell you!

I don’t think so.

“What is it? Tell me.”

“I, I don’t know.”

“What? Am I the only one who you don’t want to tell about it?”

Ixion frowned.

He looked angry and yelling, but I know.

That’s actually a hurt expression.

“Ugh,·······”

Is this a punishment for teasing Ixion?

“A······.”

“Ah?”

“Ap…”

“Ap?”

I don’t know!

It’s hard to do it once or twice.

“Appang!”

I want to die.

It was a moment when I was thinking about ending my second life like this.

(tl: I’m not entirely sure, okay? I think this Appang is a rice pancake because that was what I researched. but if I’m wrong, feel free to correct me)

Boom!

There was a hole in the wall of my room with a roar.

It’s also a big hole for the people to pass by.

“Damn! You’re so cute!”

“…”

Whi-ing.

The cold winter wind blew through the hole into the room. Will I really die?

Chapter 9. My brother is crying.

Knock knock.

I heard a light knock on the door.

I hid the novel I was reading, “The Wicked Woman Does Not Want Love,” between the cushions.

I was rereading what was summoned to Akitus.

‘It was the climax.’

It was a scene where male-lead, sub male-lead, the original female lead, Prince, Tower lord, Dad, Big brother, Younger Brother, Grandfather, Aunt, Uncle, and even the dog that she raised began to regret after the Female lead collapsed.

It’s interesting even if I read it again.

Pit-a-pat! Pit-a-pat!

When I raised my head to hide my regret, a boy with such dazzling beauty was entering the room that even made me forget the regret.

“Are you here, Ares?”

“You said you’d cooperate. It’s temporary.”

Yes.

Today is the day we decided to meet with Ares to find out the traitor.

I waited for Ares to sit on the sofa and asked.

“So who was the traitor who communicated with Tarenka?”

Ares looked at me with an absurd look and smiled.

“I didn’t know my brother had that side.”

Of course.

“You’ve already figured out who the traitor is. So, it’s easy if you tell me, right?”

“I’m totally sure I found out.”

“Ares, you’re smart. No?”

Ares smiled instead of answering.

It was a beautiful smile with slightly slanted eyes.

“I’m just a collaborator.”

As expected, I was right.

You already figured it out.

Well, I didn’t expect him to tell me right away because he had a -444 favorability.

It’s real. ····I was very excited, but I said,

“Yes, this is my job, so I’ll do it.”

At that moment, Ares’ favorability changed.

[-439]

We escaped from -444!

It only went up a little, but it was good to escape -444, which was like a dead flag anyway.

“So what is my brother going to do?”

“It’s very simple.”

Ehem!

I put both hands on my waist and stretched out my belly.

“If Ares brings me a work journal, I can do it!”

“Everything is solved!”

Ares’ smile deepened on his face.

“I need an explanation.”

It was a face that needed no explanation at all.
