Chapter 86

Coincidentally, Ruid, who witnessed the slap, dragged Hersy to Amelia’s manager’s office.

“Bye, it wasn’t a big deal.”

When asked what was going on, Hercy vehemently denied it. Ruid didn’t force it. just.

Jii-

I just looked at him and Amelia.

Hersy could not last more than 10 minutes as the two blonde siblings stared at her as if her face was boring.

Eventually she told the story.

The story was quite long.

Hersi grew up in a fairly harsh family environment. Since childhood, parents have set harsh standards rather than affection. If they did not follow suit even a little, they were subject to corporal punishment.

It is said that Klein was the only source of strength in that environment. The other brothers were also kind. However, as soon as he became the successor, everything changed.

Today I mustered up the courage to apologize and say I wanted to go back to the way things were before, but it didn’t work out. There’s probably no hope now.

Hercy even cried a little when she said the last part.

“Well, that’s just the way it happened. ... I don’t think badly of my brother. “It happened because I was immature.”

Hersi finished her story and wiped her red eyes.

‘He’s an older brother who feels inferior to his younger sister... he’s narrow-minded.’

But can it be easily defined with a sentence like this?

It will not be easy to judge Klein’s feelings about being deprived of the inheritance by a 5-year-old girl.

I can’t say it was right, but it wasn’t something I couldn’t understand.

“What do you want to do?”

“I hope the family gets along well. ... Like the Windsors.”

“My family’s relationship is not good.”

Ruid blinked.

Hersi was puzzled.

“yes?”

“Ame grew up getting beaten all the time by Irene.”

The corners of Amelia’s mouth twitched.

“Lu...i? “It was just sparring.”

“It must be violence under the guise of sparring. “I couldn’t hold back my tears every time my sister got hit.”

“...You yawned.”

Amelia’s shoulders went down weakly. Where did my authority as an older sister go?

“But everyone cares about Ruid.”

“Because that’s me.”

“....”

Amelia sighed and added.

“I’m a little upset, but it’s true. Hersy.”

Ruid nodded. It’s a bit funny to think like this after being possessed.

“It’s just not well known to the outside world, and the battle for Windsor’s succession has always been fierce.”

“really?”

“yes. Windsor selects its successor through a test. Competition is bound to be fierce. However, it is true that their method is peaceful, unlike other noble families. “There is no direct conflict.”

Amelia stroked Luid’s head.

“This generation’s Windsor doesn’t even do that. “That has a lot to do with Ruid’s presence.”

To be exact, it was because Ruid was a wizard.

A wizard cannot become the head of Windsor. Therefore, Ruid was automatically excluded from the succession competition.

With her younger brother excluded, Amelia was able to give up the succession relatively easily.

Because I can live with my younger brother.

“I can’t bear to fight over such a cute younger sibling. Above all, my sister is much better than me.”

“admit.”

Ruid nodded.

Comparing Amelia and Irene, both have strengths and weaknesses – but

Irene’s abilities as the head of the family were much better. Irene has good decision-making skills. I handle any task simply and without hesitation.

‘I’m sorry Amelia, but I’m sure she’ll be bullied if she becomes a duke.’

Amelia glared at Ruid for a moment, then looked at Hercy and spoke warmly.

“Whether our relationship gets better or worse is not up to Hercy.”

“Is that so?”

“It’s a question of whether you accept it or not. There is no chance of the relationship moving forward unless he admits defeat. “All Hersey can do is show an overwhelming display.”

Hercy lowered his head. He twitched his mouth for a moment and then spoke.

“Then- wouldn’t they hate me even more? “It would be better to give up your position as the head of the family.”

“Hercy.”

Amelia shook her head.

“That is an insult to the other person. “You’ll probably feel more miserable.”

“...!”

“Work hard to prove your abilities. “Rather than giving up competition, it is better to compete in good faith.”

Hercy looked at Amelia. He said, feeling a little embarrassed.

“thank you. I... I think Amelia will do well as the head of the family. “Wow, you are so great.”

Ruid turned his head and looked away.

However, Amelia’s self-objectification was accurate.

“I am not suitable for the position of head of the family. A knight escorting his sister would be more suitable. Or something like Ruid’s guard knight.”

‘An escort knight... that’s good.’

Amelia felt like a slightly oversized retriever. He eats well and is quietly reassuring.

Exactly, a female version of Ruid.

It was a punishment for seducing other men while usually not paying attention to them.

“...change. Upset.”

Of course, Ruid felt bad.

“Oh, I can only change my polymorph once a day. You can grow here, would you like to see it? “The master has grown taller.”

“....”

‘Well, it doesn’t matter.’

I feel a little bad, but Miho is going to have to suffer anyway, so let’s bear with it. However, I thought it was a bit arrogant.

“The operation is simple.”

Ruid explained to Miho.

“Make Klein like you.”

“Ah...”

Miho looked like she really didn’t like it.

“And if he tries to flirt, say, ‘I like people with happy families.’ “The most important thing is to get to know what kind of person Klein is.”

‘You can’t know what a person is like unless you see him in person.’

But I didn’t want to approach him directly to become friends.

So I ordered Miho. If I saw the various conversations taking place with my own eyes, I was confident that I would quickly judge whether they were good or evil.

If things go better than expected, my relationship with Hercy may improve again.

This was truly two birds with one stone.

“answer.”

Are you flirting with humans?

I really hated Miho.

Really – I hated it so much.

I really, really – really hated it.

More than anything, I was sad.

‘...I gave him advice last time, but he never said thank you. Always abandoned by Hersy and not even looking for him. This time, I called for a short time because I had something to write about. It’s really too much.’

Miho was not a pet fox.

Clearly, it was a ‘spirit’ with one personality.

It was a spirit that lived for over 500 years and had its own pride.

Spirits consider communication very important.

No matter how much the owner is, if you give an order that doesn’t make sense, they won’t listen. The contract could have been unilaterally terminated.

“Answer me. nine tailed fox. “Do your day job.”

Miho’s cheeks became puffy.

Ruid became 20 times more unpleasant.

Because a person whose hair is longer than his face shows cuteness.

“no, I do not want. “I don’t want to do this.”

‘This is real.’

Ruid decided to speak a little harshly and opened his mouth.

“If it’s a pet fox, act like a pet fox. I mean, obey what I say. “It’s about wasting magical energy without doing anything.”

“—!”

Suddenly, Miho’s forehead wrinkled. My face also turned bright red. He said tremblingly.

“I think you should receive true education, master.”

Ruid was just dumbfounded. I shrugged my shoulders.

“What can you do?”

“...What about the high-ranking spirits? “Master, there is more you can do than you think.”

Ruid was dumbfounded. Aren’t you the one who’s going to be angry here? I’m watching her become a woman on her own terms.

“What are you going to do? “Have you tried it?”

“Obviously – I said give it a try. “I have no regrets.”

Miho’s mouth twitched and she placed her hand on her chest.

A five-colored fox bead came out from inside my chest.

I lightly threw it into the air with a snap of my wrist.

[Polymorph- Synchronization.]

“...?”

At that moment, the fox bead approached Ruid.

Oh, while he was doing it, the fox bead suddenly got sucked into his body.

Ruid blinked in bewilderment.

Miho’s body glowed and then returned to the form of a fox.

However, it was not its usual size, but was very small and had nine tails.

It was Miho’s main body.

“...what?”

A dazed Ruid.

I soon became very angry and was about to say something—

“...?”

He felt a sense of déjà vu.

‘Why is my voice like this?’

I slowly put my hand behind my neck.

I touched soft hair.

In a place it shouldn’t be.

‘Eh, no way.’

Cold sweat dripped from Luid’s forehead.

With trembling hands, I checked the exact location.

“...doesn’t exist?”

Luid’s pupils trembled slightly.
