54 Episode Fourteen: Each Brother

It's been about two months since I started living in my new home.

Feelings I've lived in for two months make me miss you sometimes......

'Cause until now, Leena Yabba, there's been a Virgin, and now I'm the only one but the maid and butler.

Especially since it's time to eat.

Using a big table alone feels awfully lonely......

I tried to say something like that, but I was having dinner at my grandma's on weekdays.

Even after the move, the boarding and dropping school were in a carriage from Grandma's house, so it was a treat as it were in the stream of coming home.

Well, I've always spent a lot of time alone practicing magic and working out magic, so I never felt particularly lonely most of the time living alone.

Besides, in my spare time, Belle was my exclusive maid.

Beh, stick around, 'cause I wasn't playing numb!

No, 'cause I got those ears and tails... whoa, seriously.

Eh... I thought it would be better if Bell and I stayed close for the future!

Thanks to you, Belle could have gotten along by the time she smiled at me.

Well, that story will be long when we talk about it, so I'll see you next time.

After two months like that, today is the day my brothers come home to Grandma's.

And tomorrow is Brother Ivan's birthday.

In preparation for this party, Grandma and Mother seemed very busy here.

Apparently, nobles say their eldest son's adult party needs to be more lavish than any other party, and the participants will be awesome for that matter.

That, when it becomes the Duke's house......

I'd run away no matter how well you celebrate.

Brother Ivan, fight!

By the way, Dad's arriving late tonight, so he's gonna make it to the critical party.

And right now, I'm off to Leena and Grandma's house after school.

Perhaps your brothers have already arrived at home.

"What kind of brother is Leo-kun?

"I've only seen him a few times, too, so I don't know how detailed he is. Brother Ivan at the top looks like my father, I wonder if he's a big mess. I guess the second brother Alex feels serious and smart."

"Really? Well, it feels like Leo-kun's personality is between two brothers."

"Oh, yeah? Me, is there a big mess?

"I do. When you're obsessed with what you like, you can't see around you."

"Ya, sure..."

Maybe I can't argue with that.

"Hehe, you're looking forward to meeting your brothers."

"Yeah, right."

Honestly, I hardly see him so I don't know when he asks me if I'm looking forward to it.

I just want to hear how Brother Ivan is feeling right now.

I'm sure you want to get away from the party.

Then a little bit, when I arrived home, I knew my brothers were home.

"Long time no see, Leo. How have you been?

"Brother Alex! Long time no see! And long time no see for Brother Ivan!

"Whoa, long time no see! Is that the granddaughter of the Virgin next door?

"Yes. Nice to meet you, my grandson Liana of the Virgin. Best regards,"

"Yeah, nice to meet you"

Brother Ivan, who said hello to Leena, approached me while nibbling at something.

"What about you and Liana?

"Huh? I don't know...?

"I know and don't ask back. You like that?

I fell in love with you... you're gonna ask me on a straight ball!?

"Uh, come on?"

"I see - indeed Leo is a princess too..."

"Ah, my story is fine!

I can't stand it anymore and leave my brother.

"Come on, don't run away"

My brother is still nibbling......

Oh, that's annoying!

My brother... is he such a messy creature?

Oh, yeah. Let's hear that one!

"Speaking of which, is your brother looking forward to the party tomorrow?

I'm sure you wouldn't like it if it were your brother's personality.

"Right, looking forward to it there?

"Huh?"

Is that it? Is that a mistake?

"Looking forward to that, huh?

"What?"

Is my ear crazy?

"So look forward to it there!

Are you serious?

"It's a lie!"

"I told you I haven't seen my uncle in a long time, and Cliff's coming,"

Sure, your brother wanted to go up to his uncle and join the Special Forces?

And Mr. Cliff... Cliff?

"Who's Cliff? Your brother's girlfriend?

Well...... your brother is also an adult so you have someone to marry.

"Ah, a shame!

"Not at all, not at all! He's usually my best friend."

"What, too bad. You mean, your brother doesn't have a girlfriend? Tomorrow's the day, isn't it?

"Ugh, shut up! I don't need it now."

"If you say so, you can get married..."

"Oh, that's not true!

"Well, your brother's hot, and he's fine. More than that, is it true that Mr. Cliff is coming tomorrow?

What the hell is Mr. Cliff like?

Are you the kind of person who would be surprised just to come to the Duke's party?

"Oh, they're coming."

"It is... are you okay?

"Hey, what the hell is Mr. Cliff like?

I'm so curious!

"What, you don't know? Cliff is the prince of this country, isn't he?

"Oh, you're Shelly's brother! Speaking of which, you said you were coming to Empire City."

Was that to attend your brother's party?

Sure, I'm surprised the prince would join us......

"So, what's Mr. Cliff like?

"What's Cliff like? Right... you're a good guy in a nutshell."

"Good guy?

What about that expression to the prince?

"Mr. Cliff is a sweet man, though he's weak in some places."

"Yeah, he's a nice guy, though he's got some girlfriends."

Is that it? Something's really surprising...

My image was of a ruthless man who wanted to be king of anything.

You're a good man...

SIDE: Shelley

Brother Cliff is coming home today.

According to what I've heard, your brother's coming to celebrate Leo's brother's birthday.

I've barely spoken to my brother.

Besides, since I was a little girl, I hardly know about my brother because he had an atmosphere where I shouldn't talk to him in front of his father and mother.

So it's like the first time I've seen you, even if I say I haven't seen you in a long time.

Ha, you're kind of scared to see me...

I was told that my brother was already home when I got home from school and was led to the room where my brother was.

There was already a blonde, thinner man in the room he was shown, thought to be his father, mother and brother Cliff.

And you look blonde, with an unknown woman with frightened eyes next to Brother Cliff.

Who is this guy?

The woman said she noticed that I had come into the room.

"Oh? It's not Shelia. Then I'll be around."

That said, the strange woman got up and walked past me and out of the room.

Who is that guy?

I turned to my mother and father.

I turned my eyes... but my mother and father looked tired and didn't seem to answer me.

"Welcome home, Shelly. Long time no see."

"Huh? Ugh, yeah. Long time no see."

Suddenly my brother talked to me and I was surprised.

"And that's my mother. Maybe Shelley only met when she was just born, so you don't remember."

"Ah, Mr. Melissa..."

It must have been Mr. Melissa.

I only remember this name vaguely because I don't hear it at home.

"Yeah, I'm hitting it. Did you remember that?

"Uh... just the name..."

"Oh, I see. And Shelly's grown up."

"Oh, yeah?

"Yeah. The last time I saw Shelly was when Shelly was three years old, so I felt really big."

"That's right..."

Is that it? Not like the brother I thought.

All this time, I thought you were a scary person because your father and mother hide you, but you're a gentle talker, and you look weak, and you're not scared at all?

... What do you mean?
